II isn't necessary for any citizen of

Of reconstruction. The natives will soon

SCOUTS SEEK THE ENEMY
Progress Of Mimic Naval War
OFF New England Coast.
scAREs MANY AND FREQUENT.
White Squadron May Be Able to Slip
in Through Existing Mist-War
Conditions Well Simulated by the
Opposing Fleets.

Rockport, Mass, Aug. 22.-At mid
night thirty-six hours had passed of
the 120 for the attacking squadron un-
der Commander Pillsbury and the de-
Tending squadron commanded by Rear
Admiral Higginson to come together.
The anticipated meeting between the
hostile fleets had not come to pass
up to a late hour. On the whole, the
day had been devoid of many sensa-
tions. The night, thick and cloudy as
it was, with the moon quite obscured,
developed so many confusing situa-
tions and SO many extraordinary re-
ports that the Higginson squadron had
just cause for grave uneasiness.
Somehow the feeling grew that 1t
would not be such difficult attain
ment for the three cruisers of the
white squadron to slip in and anchor
at some harbor protected as they
would be by the darkness.
Perhaps the greatest danger that
came to Admiral Higginson was that
of yielding to the temptation to with
draw the Kearsarge and leave the Ala
bama and Massachusetts to go in
search of the enemy, reported to have
been sighted at either this point or at
some point i9qs; a9lqpg rs S. s9ast: Such e,
ports were in faot made: p tl the early
Isle Of Shoals notified the nearest
mainland point by the use Of tie torch
that large craft had been sighted
outside the shoals. Admiral Higgin.
sons wonderful system of signals
worked to perfection. Almost in a
moment it seemed the destroyer De-
catur was gocketed from Portsmouth
to pursue the mysterious conner, and
In a moment the Decatur, with the
smoke belching from her four great
stacks, was ploughing furiously
through the heavy seas. The stranger
turned and fed at fgn speed and this
fact led to the decision that she may
| have been one of the attacking fleet
passing onward on scout duty.
The complications which occurred
during the day in the shape of un-
doubted news that Admiral Pillsbury
had secretly landed some of his Off
GERS ashore to spy, served only to in
crease the perplexity of Admiral Hig-
| ginson's position.

What will be the result OF such an
era?" asked the reporter.
"ln such an event the American
people will revolt against them and
there will be financial ruin, the like
OF which this country has never seen,
or any other"
It was suggested to Mr.. Sage that
1t was general opinion that combina-
tions at certain times were good
things for the country.
"Yes," said Mr.. Sage, when sew
eral industries are started out in busi-
ness. it is we'll to combine for mutual
protection until the business is well
established. When the business is so
established, the combination should
De disrupted and conducted on indi-
Nidual lines. Then, if one individual

mean the wrecking Of the industry"
