MODERN SEA BATTLES.
None of the Pomp and Pageantry Of
Nelson's Day.

The pomp and pageantry of sea war
fare in Nelson's day, with its stripped
crowds of men swarming about the
encumbered decks and streaming flags
from every mast. have gone with the
towering ranges of sails and nimble
sailors who leaped about aloft handling
them even during the height of battle.
The Aew man-of-war goes into the
fight grim. unadorned and apparently
proceeding by her own volition, like
some unthinkable marine monster.
Far more terrible. but mercifully far
more swift. will be the conflict between
hostile fleets in the future. There will
be scarcely any such thing as the lin
gering agony. long-drawn out, OF the
old days OF sea fighting. For one thing
modern ironclads and cruisers going
into action will choose the lesser Of
two evils confronting them. Because

The Lash in English Prisons.

Flogging is still allowed in English
prisons as punishment for mutiny or
violence, hut recently published stats
tics make it doubtful whether even in
these extreme cases corporal punish
ment serves the purpose for which it
is intended. 1t is shown that since the
number of prison offenses for which
logging was allowed was reduced in
1898 the number Of offenses against
prison discipline has decreased from
lat TO 131 per 1000 prisoners, while
there has been an increase in the num-
Der Of those offenses for which the
Scat is still the penalty.

A Law to Protect Hunters.

Michigan recently passed statute
which makes it a criminal offense for
one hunting in the woods to kill or in
jure another accidentally. The law is
the result of the many accidents in
which human beings were mistaken
for animals and were shot. The pen
atty is ten years Imprisonment or a
thousand dollars fine.
A chance to test the new law came
at once during the last open season.
A man shot and killed another sports
man, whom he mistook for deer.
The case was interesting in its out.
come.
The offending hunter was acquitted
because the victim. clad in garments
somewhat resembling a deers hide,
was unconsciosly initiating the move
ments Of a fleeing deer as he leaped
from log to log in the cedar swamp
Moreover, such is the grim humor Of
events, 1t proved that the victim was
stalking the man who shot him, under
the same delusion; thus 1t was merely
a question which should happen to
shoot first.
A similar statute was enacted in
Maine in 1901. 1t is almost impossible
to convict any one under law which
makes a special crime of an accident.
The principle at bottom OF the law
seems to be the old principle Of GRIM
inal negligence.

STRIKE NAY AFFECT 1000
Fall RiUer Operatives Vote to Quit
Ozrners May GiCe In.

Fall River. Mass. July 2O.-Unless the cotton
mill managers Of this city who operate what are
known as union plants abandon their announced
intention OF putting INTO effect on Monday next
IA new scale OF wages. which will reduce the
earnings OF their employees 1214 per cent. thirty
one thousand operatives will stop work. follow
ing the strike vote cast tonight by the Textile
Workers Union. BY vote of 1.JlO to 800 the
union men decided TO strike Monday. disregard
ing the suggestion of the textile council that q
strike was nadvisable at this time.
The question OF striking was voted on at meet
ings tonight by five separate unions of mill
workers. Two OF the organizations. the Carders'
Union and the Spnners' Union. voted against a
strike but they are bound by a two-thrds vote
of the Textile Workers Union of which they are
members. and Will walk out with the weavers.
the loom ixers and the Slashers tenders
Although the union vote tonight showed a
strength of only about two thousand operatives,
the action will without doubt affect every other
worker in the factories against which the strike
is declared. Those employees not taking part in
the voting have heretofore followed the example
desired to continue work. the absence of the ex-
pert union workers would render almost impos-
sible a continuance of operations.
II is the general belief in the city tonight that
the mill owners will reconsider their decision 10
reduce wages and so avoid a strike. This belief
is based the argument of the union leaders
that the cotton and cloth markets are in such
condition that shutdown at this time would be
ruinous to the manufacturers.
