He did not explain to
the enemy that radio
plane Seventeen, which
had been struck by a
shell, feared that the
heavy burden of trans
porting the Yakumo
would prove too much
for a higher rate of
speed.
Steadily and without
apparent effort the three
radioplanes came to-
gether, until the cruiser
rubbed sides with the
two battleships. Here
were no rolling swells
and turbulent waves to
prevent such a man
euver. In the quietude
of that aerial tryst, ruff
fed only by the breeze
of the night, the pom
derous masses of steel
were brought into contact
as gently as if held by
giant hands.
Grouped in a mighty
series round them were
other dread machines,
which suddenly, to facili-
tate the transfer, threw
the brilliant beams of a
score of searchlights upon
the decks of the doomed
Yakumo, their rays IL
Illuminating and overflow

The great guns of the
three war vessels stared
open mouthed at each
other. Their turrets
doomed darkly, and cut
off the farther rays of
light, and in the white
glare the faces of the
men standing upon the
decks took on a CHASTITY
hue. With muttered con-
versation and alert obedi-
ence to orders, the men
of the Yakumo stepped
from their own deck to

they saw through their
glasses a dim outline on
the far southern horizon
whose faint blue haze
held Honolulu, designated
as a stopping place, but
which they were never to
reach,-destined to be a
port for naught but
phantom ships,-a port
of dreams.
To them their progress
through the air was at a
terrifying speed. and the
wind of flight sweeping
in a gale across their
decks drove them to
shelter, but they did not
know that the machines
above them were work

order that their coming
to the shores of the
American con tinent might
be unwitnessed and un-
heralded. The hours

STEERAGE RATES RAISED
Great Rush of Foreigners to Europe
Continues

New York, Nov. 23.-In one of his
speeches some years ago President
Benjamin Harrison said that the gates
of Castle Garden always opened in
ward, never outward Times have
changed, however, for now the outgo
of foreign laborers back to Europe,
owing to the shutting down of indus
tries since the financial stringency,
has reached such proportions that the
steamship companies are hard pressed
to furnish accommodations for them.
Hundreds of the foreigners have
been obliged to wait until next week
because berths could not be found for
them. This week all the big transat-
lantic lines raised the steerage rate
from s21 to $32, but still the demand
for tickets has increased. A repre-
sentative of the steerage department
of the Hamburg-Americ line said
that from New York alone the num-
ber of foreigners departing weekly
was $4,000 and that s5,000,000 was be-
ing taken away weekly by these re-
turning immigrants either in cash or
in drafts on foreign countries.

TO WIPE OUT PEONAGE.
Mrs. Quackenbos Outlines Her Plan OF
Action.

New Orleans, Nov. 23.-An outline
or her plans for stamping out peonage
in the South was given out here by
Mrs. Mary Grace Quackenbos, the only
woman special assistant to the attor-
ney general of the United States. Mrs.
Quackenbos was recently assigned to
investigate peonage in Southern states
One thing which | am compelled to
light, against" said Mrs Quackenbos,
lis the fact that few persons as yet
realize my motives and purposes. With
the proper support | believe | can
completely wipe out peonage in the
South within the next year"
Mrs. Quackenbos' prediction is based
partly on her belief that peonage is
not at all general. In her opinion i'm.
migration into the South will not suf.
fer material setbacks from the ex-
posure of this oppression on foreign
labor. She says that charges of OPP
preston in the South recently made
in foreign countries are olmost wholly
due to letters which eniigrants have
written home and that a government
investigation, by removing the cause
for such letters, will benefit immigra.

RI0TING AT JOLIET, ILL.
Striking Quarrymen Clash With Men
Willing to Work.

Joliet, ILL.,, Nov 23.-A riot occurred
here as a result of a strike following
an attempted wage reduction among
stone quarrymen. Strikers and men
wishing to work clashed in a bloody
fight. Revolvers We're used, but most
of the shots We're fired in the air to
intimidate Stones were thrown and
a number OF men on both sides were
hit, but no serious injuries are re-
ported. The riots occurred in the
vicinity of the Western Stone COM
pany's quarries southeast of Joliet.
The wage scale of 20 cents an hour for
ten hours, it was announced, would be
reduced to 17L2 cents an hour for nine
hours. In consequence the men in the
various quarries have been on strike
since last Monday. Men from the
quarries at Lemont, H., went to Joliet
to take the places of some of the strik-
ers and this precipitated the clash.
Police and deputy sheriffs are now
patrolling the quarry district.
