One-fifth of the total population of
the United States is directly or indi-
rectly supported by railroads.
The greatest interest in this country
is the railroad interest, in which more
capital is invested than in any other
one line. Equipment represents quite
a proportion of the total. .

spent $25O,0O0.00 in producing the

Chicago, March, Harry c.. New,

last night to arrange for a few of the
minor details Of the republican ma

his former statement; that Senator
Fairbanks would be- the republican
nominee for vice president.
1T looks very much as If his name
would be the only one mentioned at
the convention. There seems to be
a sentiment for him that has become
well-nigh universal. Roosevelt and

and one that will certainly lead the
republicans to victory"

is a member of the English Society of
Friends or Quakers, by whom he was

Concerning the talk of trek next

First Fight t e' Ram A|ben,arIe
April ts. f86A
roRTrETH ANNIVERSARY WAR STORY

All this, the turning of the ram, the crash and the sinking, had taken place in few minutes. AS soon as the AL bemarle was free from the embrace of her sinking victim she came to an even keel and found herself "A ongside the Miami, which was pouring shot against the impenetrable shield, mak- ing barely a dent in the two inch iron plates. Flusser thought that he had the ram just where he wanted her in spite of the fact that he had lost one ship in the encounter. The vessels were so close that he fired a shell with ten-second fuse against the straight iron shield confronting the muZZle of his gun. Pulling the lanyard himself, he was torn to pieces by his own shell before he had time to drop the string for the shot, striking the iron plate at a straight angle, rebounded to the starting point and burst over the gun which fired it. For poor Flusser it was clear case of 'hoist with his own petard."
 Even the death of the heroic com. mander and the loss of consort did not crush the fighting spirit of the Mi  ami'S crew. BOarders were called away instantly, and the eager men rushed to the rail to jump to the broad decks of the ram, but the Confederate tars were equally alert and filled every inch of standing room on the upper deck. With muskets loaded below and handed up they poured fearful storm of bullets upon the gallant fellows of the Miami
 With the repulse of the boarders further fighting on the part of the Miami was hopeless. Her shots only rolled off from the iron shield of the monster. Being a swift side wheeler, she turned easily and succeeded in lodging the beak of the ram. As she sped down the river she fired with ev- cry gun that, would bear on the vic torious ram.
 The Albemarle had justified her builders The Roanoke was clear of Federal vessels, and the Confederate General Hoke promptly assaulted the breastworks on the land side, while the

 ram rained shot and shell upon the forts with her two guns from the water side. The Federal garrison un- der General Vessels resisted gallantly, but it's end of the fight for the con- trol of Plymouth was equally hopeless. In single charge upon the breast works along the east front of the line 800 North Carolnians were shot down by the unerring rifles of the garrison. Yet flesh and blood could not with stand the fire from front and rear. Vessels surrendered, and the ram All bemarle quietly anchored upon the scene of her first battle and her rousing victory.
 But in war fortune is very uncertain. This second Merrimac, this veritable Goliath among ironclads, was to meet her David and see her finish within sight of her first battle-ground. 4 few days after the battle of Plymouth she steamed down the Roanoke intending to cut her way through the Federal wooden fleet in the Albemarle and Pamlico sounds and help the land troops in an attack upon Newborn Soon after entering the sound she was met by seven ships, whose commander initiated the tactics of the heroic Flus- ser and rushed to close quarters with the monster. The battle began late and ended at dark with the ram re- pulsed and steaming back to Plymouth. Here one evening the gallant Cushing found her and with little torpedo I, as that made by her beak in the wooden ribs of the Southfield.
