An Alert CONGRESSMAN.

Never say die" seems TO be the
motto Of Congressman Small, Of North
Carolina, and it is a good one to go by.
THIS state ought to keep him in con-
gress until he succeeds in his inland
waterway project, and the indications
are that the time will not be long, is
time for great projects is calculated.
An opportunity was opened to him SAL
urday when the rivers and harbors bill
was under discussion to get in a few
words for the canal and he made good
$ of it. This proposed canal will
soon be recognized as a necessity to
the commerce of the Atlantic Coast
States and one of these days there ls
going to be a congressman elected that
will give Mr.. Small the proper hearing.

Vessel Holding Together but Eatc OF
Crew Unknoun-Life Savers Unable
to Rcndcf Assistance on Account OF
Enormous Waves.

Norfolk. Va, January 6.-Advlces
tonight from Cape Hatteras report the
unknown schooner on Diamond S1ials
to be holding together, but the fate Of
the crew is a matter of conjecture.
Her yawl is missing and it is feared
that some of the crew nav persisted
in an attempt to reach shore In it.
The life savers saw men IN the rigging,
but are not certain whether the entire
crew is there. The life savers are
preparing to make an attempt to reach
c"lms when this will be is not
known.
Crews from the Hatteras md Creeds
hill stations Joined forces in the at
tempt to save the Seamen who could
be seen lashed to the masts. It was
mole than human strength could do to
pull q BOAT through the enormous
waves.
The wrecked evssel is too far out
to admit of a line being hot across
her from shore.
Tonight there is a. heavy vino piling
waves across the waist Of the SchOOn-
er. Her bow and stern are stir above
water and all masts standing but the
midship second of the craft IS sub
merged. The cold on tie coast to-
night is extreme.
The temperature is several degrees
below freezing and everywhere the
spray strikes on the masts and rigging
of the schooner it turns into a coat
of ice. No clue to the Identity Of the
wreck has been secured.

THE ME1RRIMAC UNDEFEATED.
After ~ Very Hot Engagemert-I
Was First the Nerrimac.

In the story which accompanied the
cut Of the anchor of the Merrimac IN
Thursdays Ledger-Dispatch, a reversal
of names made it appear that the yes
sci had been the old Virginia. which
was partially destroyed and rebuilt
as the MerTimac.
AS is well known the vessel was first
the Merrimac and then the Virginia.
It was also inadvisedly said that sne
was defeated by the Monitor. This,
of course. was an error of fact At once
apparent to veterans and others faml-
liar with the wonderful sea fight which
revolutionized uaval warfare.
The Monitor was forced to withdraw
after a stubborn struggle. The federal
side has laid claim to the victory, out
facts do not bear them out.
The Monitor probably would not
have escaped had she not retired into
shallow water, where the Merrimac or
much greater draught, could not fol-
low.
The MerTimac, made othe attempts
later to engage the federal craft, but
the secretary of navy had issued orders
