Hearst and Walsh Doomed.

Democrats themselves are up in the
air. The element of the party which
met yesterday is certain of one thing,
and that is there will be no reaffirma-
ton OF the Kansas City platform in
Iowa this year. They profess to be al
most equally certain Of one thing and
that is that Hearst will not receive the
endorsement or support of Iowa demo-
Gratis. They are even more certain
that Charles A. Walsh will be relegat-
ed to the rear as national committee
man.

 Many of the crew had heard the sound of the bell, and they stood lis- tening with eager intentness in vari- ous attitudes about the deck. Tn obe- dience to their captains direction, all of them remained still and quiet, wait ing his further orders Presently a little puff of air famed the cheek of the watchful commander.
 ''The breeze is coming, trust,' he said to Stanhope. See! The fog thins yonder! iris Tightening surely! Get the men to their quarters without the drum, Mir.

judgment of the French captain. There were not ten sailors in France who could have done so well as he. him, Grafton might have escaped. But now his brig was wreck beneath him. There was nothing left for him but to surrender. Throwing his weighted bag of dispatches overheard, he drew handkerchief from his pocket and waved it toward his enemy.
 Seeing the hopeless and helpless con- dition of her quarry, the French ship of the line swept gracefully up into the wind by the side of the broken brig. Her way was checked, her pom derous yards swung, and she hove-to short distance off. A magnificent pie ture she presented, with her drowning tiers of guns. her lofty pyramids of sails, her decks crowded with brilliant ly uniformed officers.
 The French could plainly see that there was no boat left on the Boxer; therefore, in few moments, heavy cutter was swung from the davits of the liner and lowered into the water. Presently an of1cer, attended by sur geon and surgeons mate, stepped on the deck of the brig.
 You speak French, monsieur ?'' asked the officer of Grafton, who stood in the gangway to receive him.
 "Yes, sir" answered the American, lowing.
 "And you are
 Lieut. Philip Grafton, commanding his Britannic majesty's late brig Boxer. And you are ?"
 Lieut.. St. Andre du verger, of his most christian majesty's ship-of-the- line Le Thesee, commanded by M. ie Comte de Kersaint de Kerguelen." ]"
 1T am at your service, monsieur. The fortune of war has made me your prisoner"
 .'M. de Kersaint desires that you re- pair on board his ship at once, n1on- sieur''
 Willingly, M. du verger,'' z said Grafton, striving gallantly to hide his sadness at this bitter ending of his cruise. 'sAt your orders. Win you see to the poor fellows I leave here?"
 With pleasure, M. le Capitaine. ! have brought surgeon and a sur- geon's mate for the purpose"

though the wind was increasing in force with every moment But before the Boxer paid of, the fog suddenly lifted. It was brushed away from them as if it had been swept aside by a gigantic hand. The gray mist in front of them gave place to radiant golden light The tossing white capped waves, instead of showing the sickIy leaden color of the past few days, were thrown into brilliant blue by the irradiating sun. The brightness was almost dazzling. There did not seem to be single cloud above them.
 Land ho.'' shouted one of the men on the forecastle. as the mist disap- peared.
 There before them, and scarcely a mile away, rose the grim cliffs of the forbidding island of Ushant. They could see the breakers crashing and churning in sheets, of foam about it's feet.
 All hands to the lee braces!" cried Grafton, promptly. aStarboard your helnI Flow the head-sheets, there! Haul over that spanker-sheet. We must get away from that, Stanhope!"
 Sal ho!'' cried one of the after guard at the same instant, as the handy little brig spun around on her heel and thrust her blunt nose up to- ward the wind on the port tack.
 There. scarcely two cables length away from them, they saw the bows of an immense ship, ghostlike, come showing through the fog, which still enstrouded that quarter of the sea.

of tue brig was filled with silent con-
 lEien. The men sprang like big cats to their stations. The little guns of the vessel were soon cast loose and provided, and, having bsen double- shotted, were run out again and d good turn taken with the side-tackles to hold them The wind was coming stronger now, but still in 0tful puffs, from the southwest singularly enough, the fog seemed to be rising against the wind
 Presently, by the watchful young commanders direction, the sail-trim- mers braced about the yards to take advantage of the rising breeze, and the Boxer began slowly to forge through the water It was the first time in several days that she had enjoyed good steerage way, and all hands watched her travel with feel ings of great relief. Before she had gathered much way, however, they heard again the sound which had awakened them to action. Five bells this time came floating up from the southward as before On this occa- sion the sound was clearer and more distinct showing that the approaching vessel had drawn nearer. The deep quality of the tones denoted that the bell was a large one.
 By gad, Stanhope, that bell doesn't swing on anything under a heavy frigate,n said Grafton; we're in for it this time unless we can make some distance with this brisking breeze while the fog holds What's she mak- ing?"
 About two knots, I think, sir" an- swered Stanhope, looking over the side at the sluggish water slowly drawing past; maybe two and half, no more.'
 s' 'Tis cursed slow boat; but Brit ish ships are not built for running, they leave that for t'other fellows I wish now the fog would hold little 1 longer Keep your weather eye lift ing there, Jabez, continued Grafton, turning to old Slocum, who still stood at the wheel; 'don't lose bit of it.''
 "Ay, ay, siri" replied the old Yankee, shifting his quid as he gave a careful sQuint at the top-sails, which the wind was scarcely strong enough to i'll ''I won't lose none o't, yer honor.''
 l For few anxious moments the brig held on. Presently, in spite of their desires, the two officers perceived that the fog was indeed going. However, there was nothing to be done 1t was still too thick to see anything dis tinctIy, so they held on steadily. At il o'clock, from the other ship, they heard again the sound of the bell, l which now rang six times. She, too. had been feeling the wind, and was evidently edging along in their wake, ] which was pure chance, for they had 1 given her no sign of their presence.
 "Confound the luckl" said Grafton; whatever she is, she's right after us. By the sound, should say we haven't gained a fathom!"
 Lost, rather,s suggested Stanhope. ] s"This brig's nc goer at all in this sort of breeze, and it's so fitful no one can teIl--p
 By heaven, tho wind has shifted again! We're abaclx! Shift the helm there! All hands to the lee bracesl" cried Grafton. as the wind suddenly swung about and took the ship abaek.

The practi- cal ability of the designers. exhibited in many novel and useful contriv- ances, had been re-enforced and not obscured by a lavish display of pol ished metal work, ornamental ft- tings aud wood carving, which would have better suited a royal yacht than vessel of war.
 As Grafton came through the gang way he was met by an ofEicer and con- ducted aft to the high poop deck, upon which a brilliant group of ohicers were collected about tall, splendid-lo looking man in the prime of life, who was evi- dently the commander of the ship. Grafton stepped toward him, bowed gracefully, and then, extending his sword, remarked in excellent French, of which he was luckily U rough master:
 "The fortune of war, monsieur, has made my small vessel the prize of your magnificent ship"
 .''You are bold man, young sir, and in many instances perhaps most your gallant attempt to escape by run- ming off before the wind WouYd have been successful, 2 returned the French captain, magnan1mously. Then, touch ing the hiIt of the young Americans sword, he added graciousiy. lowing in his turn: Retain your sword, mon- sieur, should be loath indeed to de- prive so brave a man of the weapon which he has shown he knows how to wear so worthily.

A New York Saint.


What is called the informative pro-
cess. or the first formal step toward
placing on the calendar of saints the
name OF a missionary martyred in New
ork, is under way before an ecclesi-
&sueal court in Quebec The subject is
the Jesuit priest, Father Isaac Jogues
VINO was martyred by the Mohawk In
dams on October s, 1916, after suffering
barbaTous tOrtures.
Father John ]. Wynne S. j.. and
rather Thomas ]. Campbell, S. J.. have
just returned to New York from Que
pee where they were summoned as
witnesses to testify as to the reasons
why Father Joglres should be can
onized.
The court was convened in Quebec
last September by Archbishop Begin,
and Its sessions have been almost con-
tlnuouS since. Msgr. c. o. Gagnon. of
quebec, is the judge of the court; the
heV. j. GIrard and the Rev. J. Forbes
are the assessors: Msgr. H. Tetu the
promoter tfscalis: the Rev. NJ. b Gar
heau and NJ. Charles Guilbault the
notaries. The Rev. j. Z. Desy. s. j.,
is the vice-p ostulator of the cause in
America. Cardinal Richard, of Paris

testify will be members of the Francis
can and Sulpician orders; Father
Jones, the archivist of st. Mary, Mon

of the Indian reservation at Caughna-
waugha.
The spot in the Mohawk valley where
Father Jpgues was killed is now called
Auriesville, \. Y. and the Jesuits have
a shrine there which is visitedN by
many pious pilgrims Miracles are
said to have been wrought through
Father Jogues' intercession.
Other martyrs who were with him
or followed in his footsteps are Faith
ers Anthony Daniel, John de Brebeuf |
Charles Currier. Noel Chabonel. and
the laymen Rene Goupil and John de
