OPENING OF FALL MANEuvERs.
FIRST Movement Is Sham Attack of
Massachusetts Coast.


Great pablic interest has been mani
tested all along the New England coast
in the mimic naval warfare which began
Wednesday.
Commander Pillsbury is in command OF
the attacking fleet and Rear Admiral
Higginson is in charge of the defending
squadron
Commander Pillsbury's squadron in
cludes the auxiliary cruisers Prairie.
Panther and Supply Rear Admiral Hig-
ginson las his flagship. the Kearsarge,
ami two lther battleships. the Massachu-
sets and the Alabama. and the cruisers
Brooklyn, Olympia and Montgomery. be-
sides seven torpedo boats. two unarined
gunboats, two tugs and the converted
yachts Mayfiower and Gloucester. The
torpedo boats are the Shubrick, Decatur.
Thornton, Stockton. Bagley, Barney ard
Blddle. The gunboats are the Scorpion
and Peoria.
The blue squadron was treated to a
night surprise, the first Of the great au-
tumn maneuvers. For half an hour the
rocky hills of old Cape Ann resounded
wit hthe thunder of mighty guns, while
powerful electric searchhghts swept the
1t was the torpedo boat iotilla stealing
in under cover of darkness and surprising
all except The foxy old admiral, who ear
lier in the day secretly had ordered the
attack TO be made. Not a captain in
the fleet had an intimation of what was
coming and the surprise was complete.
Tuesday night the inhabitants Of the
staid New England village of Rockport,
Mass, were all tucked into their beds at
9 o'clock Even the summer cottagers,
whose handsome places line the shore,
had retired for the night. A blue-J jacket
lookout on TIE Kearsarge first gave the
alarm. The quartermaster on watch re-
ported that strange craft were stealing
into the harbor through the eastern pas
sage.
A messenger ran from the deck to
arouse the hagship's captain. Electric
signal lights flashed from the masthead
of the Kearsarge. In a minute the blue
jackets were flying half clad from ham
mocks on board every ship of the squad
ron to man the guns.
Two thousand five hundred men were
reused from sleep to repel the enemy.
The first gun doomed out. Then the
thunder of the guns grew incessant. The
roar was like that which marked the
destruction of Cervera's fleet off the
Cuban coast.
The people OF Roclport tumbled out Of
their beds. All along shore there was
hurrying and skurrying from summer cot
tages to learn what had happened. For
half an hour the cannonading continued,
when there rose from the leader of the
invading squadron a red and green rock
ct, which told what they were and re-
yealed the sham. The battle off Rock
port ended in blaze of red and green FIRE
and the villagers went back to their beds
wondering what it was all about.
The defending fleet sailed out Wednes-
day afternoon to await the attacking
ships. The work cut out for Admiral
Higginson was to prevent Pillsbury's d.
vision from getting into some Port be-
tween Chatham, Mass, and Portland,
Me-, without being discovered.

1868, he was assigned to the command
of the district of Lehigh, and in Febru-
airy. 1864, to the command of the de-
partment of West Virginia. On May Is
of the same year he fought and lost the
battle of Newmarket Relieved by Gen.
Hunter, he was assigned to the COM
mand of the reserve division on the Po-
tomac, and during Gen. Early's raid. in
July, 1854 he defended Maryland
heights with 5000 against $4,000 men,
making it possible for Gen. Lew Wallace
to assemble his troops at Monocacy ard
for Gen. Grant to send re-enforcements
to the threatened capital.
Gen. Sigel was the hero of a we'll
known war poem written by Grant p.
Robinson, Union soldier, in 1862, en-
titled Il Fights Nit Sigel." In politics
Gen. Sigel was a Democrat, but an anti

how highly we may esteem the parties
themselves, viii have any effect. The
matter at issue can only be settled be-
tween the operators and the miners"
A general statement regarding Mr.
Morgan's attitude was made on behalf of
the operators, to the following effect;
MIR. Morgan knew the enact situation
while he was in Europe just as if he had
been here He was in touch with every
thing that transpired. and could have in
terfered in the dispute while he was
abroad just as easily as when he return
ed His return does net change the sit
nation. There is no reason why he
should interfere now any more than at
any time during the strike, and he does
not mean to interfere"
Before Mr.. Baer left town he called
at Mr. Morgan's Office again and, it was
believed. gave him an outline Of what
took place during the conference Of the
coal presidents.

MISS MAUD CONNIE, KNOWN
AS "ERIN'S JOAN OF ARC. "

Miss Maud Come, who made tour
of the United States last year, speaking
in all the principal cities. is known as
"Erin's Joan of Are" She Is tall, of
slender figure and finely proportional,
while her carriage is queenly. Nature
fitted her to command attention in any
walk of life, and her inclination and
education have combined to make her
conspicuous in her chosen field, that of
an advocate of the political rights of
her native country.
Few women agitators have received
the respectful homage that has been
bestowed upon Miss Come. The cause
for which she pleads appeals to her
fellow countrymen; her personal graces

and mental endowments secure from
others the consideration to which they
entitle her.
Miss Come is little on the shady
side OF 40. but could pass for a much
younger woman. for her complexion is
as fresh and fair as that of girl in
her teens. She speaks in a clear. res
onant. musical voice, with just a trace
of the Irish accent. and has command
of language that few orators possess.
Less argumentative than emotional.

NEW MARKET is OPENED UP
Over $6O,OOO,OO0 Is Sent TO Oceanic

Over $6O,OOO,OOO Is Sent to Oceanic
Islands and to Alaska,
The noncontiguous territory Of the
United States now furnishes s market
for $50,OO0,000 worth Of the products of
her people. A statement prepared by the
Treasury Bureau of Statistics shows
that the shipments from the United
States to their noncontiguous territory
during the fiscal year just ended have
been, in round terms, as follows:
To the Hawaiian Islands ....... 500 100, OOG
10 Alaska ....................... IotUO,OOt
To Porto Rico .........t....... l0eO0OOO
To the Philippines ............. 100000
Total ............ ..........' 'S2OfoOO,OOo
This is practically five times as much
as the exports to those territories in 1897.
when none of them except Alaska was
under the American flag.
The exports to Porto Rico in the fiscal
year 1897, for example. We're S1.9SS, $50,
and in the fiscal year 1902 they were over
$10,000,000. the exact figures for eleven
months being more than $9,50O,eI00, and
while the figures for the twelfth month
have not been received it is certain that
the total viii exceed $10.0O0,00Oi
To Hawaii our exports in tie fiscal
year 1897 were $4,690.0T5, and for the
fiscal year 1902 the best estimate q the
customs authorities is, in roun0 terms,
S20,000O00. Exact figures Of the ship
ments to Hawaii are not at present avail
able, but it is known that the Shipments
from Hawaii to the United States during
the year win amount to about SOB 000.-
600. and it is believed that the estimate
of S20,000,000 for our shipments to the
Hawaiian Islands is a conservative one.
To the Philippine Islands our exports
in the fiscal year 1897 were S94 ,907 and
in the fiscal year 1902 viii be over So
100000, exclusive Of shipments rnade by
the government for use of its troops or
other officers in the islands. Tol Alaska

ments in 1897 is $3.924,000, white ;hose
for the fiscal year just ended are esti-
mated by the customs authorities lat 49,
