To which encouraging advice Ran
dolph Morris made no reply. and the
son left the room.
As Randolph Morris was tenderiy
carried down the steps. through an
angry crowd. and placed In an ambu-
lance. he opened his eyes and looked
longingly at the building which bore
his name. Thus he made his last
journey away from the roar and tur-
moil of Wall street: a mental, physi-
cal and financial wreck. cast on the
shores of oblivion by q storm terrific
and unforeseen.
Arthur Morris. stripped OF all power
by the action of the directors. stood
amid the wreck of his fortunes.
He was a witness to the compro-
mise by which n representative of
James Blake & Gov 2any agreed to
terms. which. while protecting the de-
positors. called for the sacrifice of the
millions which once stood In his name.
The fifty thousand dollars he had sue
ceeded at the last moment in draw
ing from the bank was all that was
left to him.
Through the long hours of that
evcntful day General Gardens eyes
were fixed on the stock board. Few
OF tho excited customers Of James
Blake & Company recognized the ex-
banker. and none knew the reason for
his absorbing interest in the fuctua-
tions of the stock labeled l. & o.
Who was this man Blake. and why
had he offered to place fortune in
his hand? Why had this stranger
come from out the West. and by the
magic OF his touch. transformed a
worthless stock into one of so great
value that millionaires struggled mad
ly for its possession.
When he took his last look at the
stock board L. & o. was quoted at
los. He nervously drew q slip OF
paper from his pocket and made q
rapid calculation. II Blake chose to
realize at the quotation, General Car
dens share OF the profits would be
nearly eight hundred thousand dollars.
The figures puzzled him. and he made
the calculation anew, only to ind It
accurate. This represented more than
the fortune he had lost
A Wild impulse came which urged
him to demand OF Blake the sale OF
| his stock. What right had he to i'm
peril that which would insure the hap

Of his old age? Hurriedly he retraeed

chased the runaway almost to Whining ton.
 During Cushing's absence on the wild chase one of his sailors exchanged clothes with the captive postman and went to the Wilmington markets to get food for the raiders, who had made a long fast anI. were desperately hun gry. This trip gave him a chance to gossip with citizens and gain knowl- edge of the enemy. ..e.a......
 Cushing on his part had discovered that the Confederate ram Raleigh, ly- ing at Wilmington, was a hopeless wreck; that the ram North Carolina was useless for battle because her depth didn't admit of passing the bar at the mouth of Cape Tear river to en- gage the Federal blockading ships and certain torpedo boats, much dreaded by the Federals, had been destroyed by their owners during scare to keep them from falling into the hands of the enemy This information was the object of the daring raid. --..
 After destroying the telegraph lines Cushing returned to his boat, sent the prisoners adrift and started down the river On the way to sea the cutter was headed off by a Confederate gum boat and several small boats filled with men. It was night, and, although the moon shone bright, Gushing managed to turn and double on his. pursuers until he got the start of them and by vigorous rowing dashed into the break CTS at the North Carolina shoals, where the enemy dare not follow. The cut ter was so heavy that she rode the breakers gallantly and escaped to the Federal fleet. On this trip Gushing passed two days and three nights with in the enemy's lines. It is not strange that he ventured into the same region a second time. but what of the enemy who allowed him to get off so easily?

' ANNIVERSARY WAR STORY

a
 M BAND of less than a dozen N men threw the whole Confed-
 crate garrison at Wilmington,
 N. C., into a fright the night of Feb. 26, 1864, by landing from row. boats on Cape Fear river between two forts and raiding the headquarters of General Hebert, the Confederate com mandant of the district invaded. The Confederates were long in ignorance as to the identity of the midnight ma rauders, but of one thing they were eertain-the raid was an attempt to capture General Hebert and would have succeeded but for the fact that, like the famous Lor6 Erskine during the Battle of the Kegs," he happened ito be passing the night away from home.
 The fact that the marauders actually |penetrated to the very heart of the cita- del, with thousand armed enemies |encamped all about, was in itself star tling, but that was not the most haz- ardous feature of the enterprise. Gen. aral Hebert's post was an interior one, with outposts on land and water for miles in all directions. Cape Fear riv- CT was within Confederate territory and had been from the beginning of the war It was patrolled by Confed- |erate gunboats and guarded by forts at the mouth and around Wilmington, close to the scene of the raid.
 One reason given by the Confederate naval commander in those waters for not maintaining better patrol was that his men could not be trusted alone \ in small parties. A few nights before 1.-the raid six North Carolina soldiers sent out under orders in rowboat had deserted and escaped down the river. ! 1t was supposed by the Confederates 3that these deserters had hand in the Sraid upon General Hebert. They were not of the party although they may have given the bearings to the Yankee sailor boy who designed the swoop and lin person executed the most dangerous feature involved, Lieutenant W. B., zCushing. Gushing was not at that date &a stranger to the North Carolina wa ters, neither tyro in deeds of derring do." Tn the restless and venturous ca reer of the hero of the Albemarle,
 whose motto was, Responsibilities to the timid,' this feat was merely an
 episode. It was undertaken in 8 spirit IDf bravado to prove to his chief that a
 eertain plan he was maturing still more Hazardous and of greater importance an military sense was feasible The
 neet commander under whom Cushing served having expressed his doubt as k0 the wisdom of the plan because of

DISCUSS THE NAVY
President Roosevelt Has Conference
with Famous Constructors.
BEARS ON The FAR-EASTERN WAR.
In the Company Was Sir william Il.
White, of England, Who Has =
Preference for the Modern
Formidable Battleship.

Washington, Oct. 13.-An informal
conference was held at the white house
to-day at which the president, Sir Will
liam e. White, formerly chief con-
structor of the British navy; Secretary
Morton, Admiral Dewey, Rear Admiral
cation, and Rear Admiral Evans dis
cussed naval architecture with special
reference to the American navy. The
president and Sir William, who is
had had q brief talk about ships and
the president then decided to invite
number of officials Of the navy depart
ment to meet Sir William later in the
day when the discussion could be con-
:inued.
Sir William was surprised at the
technical knowledge displayed by the
president in his searching inquiries
about naval architecture. The presi-
dent asked him many questions about
our own navy and the early part of the
discussion concerned the effect of the
far eastern war upon naval archi-
lecture. Sir William was free to say
that the fighting on the sea there had
demonstrated beyond the shadow of
doubt the overwhelming supremacy Of
the modern formidable battleships.
He gave his opinion regarding the most
effective type Of cruisers and their rela-
tive position in warfare. Sir William,
in reply to questions from the presi-
dent, gave his views of the American
navy, comparing our new ships with
those of France, Germany and Great
Britain. He expressed the opinion
that the battleships now building in
this country stood at the front of the
best types Of the modern battleship.

HILL ADDS MORE PEPPER.
At Parkersburg, w. Va, the New
Yorker Criticised the Conduct OF
Department of Commerce.

Parkersburg, w. Va, Oct 15.-Four
days of continuous speech-making is
beginning to tell on the vocal powers
of Henry G. Davis, democratic vice
presidential candidate. Aside from
hoarseness, however, Mr.. Davis seems
as fit as when he began his continuous
performance tour of his own state.
81 am sure that IL Alton B. Parker
shall be elected president he will en-
deavor to have the department OF
commerce and labor divided and see
to 1t that a practical labor man, a
genuine and intelligent representative
of labor interests, will have the place
devoted to labor interests as originally
intended and man devoted to the in
terests of commerce at the head of the
commerce department" This was
David B. Hills contribution to the
campaign here. To it he added: "Our
candidate for president, while always
impartiallx enforcing the laws. has al
ways been friendly r6 the interests or
those who work."

OPENED MAIL POUCH
Russians Have Flagrantly Outraged
International Amenities.
LETTERS FOR CRUISER CINCINNATI.
When the British Steamer Calchas
Was boarded by the VIadivOstOk
Squadron the Pouch Was
Opened and Resealed.

Washington, Oct. 15.-It has devel-
oped that a pouch containing mail for
the United States cruiser Cincinnati,
then at Nagasaki, Japan, which was
aboard the British steamer Calchas
when that vessel was seized by the
Russian Vladivostok squadron, had
been opened while in the possession OF
the Russian officials. subsequently re-
sealed and sent on to its destination.
This information came to the post Of
fee department In a communication
from the Japanese postal administra-
ton in conformity with practice al
ways followed when there has been
any mishap In the delivery of mail
pouches. The matter will be referred
to the state department for action, as
was done with the case Of the ordinary
United States mail on the vessel at the
time she was seized.
This latest phase Of the seizure Of the
Calchas' mails has caused painful sur
prise in official circles and II the act
of opening the pouch addressed to the
Cincinnati was Willingly done the
probability is a second protest will be
lodged with the Russian government.
