British Steamer Fired on by Rus
sian Torpedo Boat.

Viborg, Finland, June II. =
A British steamer was fired
upon by a Russian torpedo boat
for approaching too close to the
bay on the Finnish coast, where
Emperor Nicholas and Emperor
William met to-day.
The steamer is the Woodburn,
Captain Robertson. She was
hailed and fired upon last night
off Wirolahti, Island of Biorke.
The projectile from the torpedo
boat pierced a steam pipe, and
one member of the crew of the
English vessel was wounded.
The incident shows the extreme
nervousness for the safety of
Emperor Nicholas even at sea.

letter to the Queen and later visited the
court, with the result that Columbus
was summoned to the camp before
Granada and ultimately obtained the
means that enabled him to make his
great discovery.
But even in the making of the discov
cry chance was to play an important
part After the fleet started westward
from the Canaries on the dreaded Sea
of Darkness there followed long weeks
of sailing during which the fears of the
suPerstitlous sailors grew even greater.
At last, by October 4, there were ominous
symptoms of mutiny. Three days later
a flock of parrots, or parrakeets, were
observed flying toward the southwest,
and the expl :ers, remembering the sue
cess of the Portuguese in discovering
islands by following the course taken by
birds, turned the prows of their vessels in
that direction. At two o'clock on the
morning of November II, after sailing
about five hundred miles fart Their, the ex-
plorers at last sighted San Salvador.

coast of Florida about Cape Malabar. 1t

Landing of the PILGRIMS
A n almost equally good instance of the
\ working of chance is afforded in the
circumstances connected with the settle
ment of Plymouth Before the Pilgrim
Fathers entered upon their long voyage
to the New World their agents had OBJ
tanned from the Virginia Company
patent giving them the right to settle in
the region south of the Hudson River.
Thither they fully intended to go; but
when the long looked for land was at
last sighted it proved to be Cape Cod
The Mayfower was at once headed south
southeast in order to pass round to the
Hudson region; but, after holding to that
course for half day, she ran among the
dangerous shoals and currents off the
elbow of the cape Many efforts were
made to pass through; but about even
ing, the wind hauling ahead, the ship
was with difficulty brought back to clear
water to pass the night.
An anxious conference was then held,
and the apparent dangers of the southern
passage, the lateness of the season, the
presence of sickness on board, and per-
haps the persuasions of the Captain, who
some say had been bribed by the Dutch
West India Company to prevent the
Colonists from reaching their destina-
ton, all combined to cause those in
authority to put into Cape Cod Harbor,
now Provincetown. Thence, late in De
cember, after several exploring expedi-
tons had been made, the Colonists sailed
to Plymouth, and there squatted on land
to which at first they had no legal right.
Thus near did Plymouth Rock, the chief
source of New England's pride, come
to being in New Jersey.
Chance in Europe
TN spite, however, of all the instances
that have been given and of other in
stances that will occur to every reader,
it is worthy of remark that chance has
played less important part in American
history than in that of most European
countries; where, until recently at least,
events have depended more upon the
caprice of individual rulers than upon the
will of majorities Innumerable in
stances where the whole trend of the
future has seemingly been changed by
some insignificant occurrence might be
given. One of the most striking is thus
indicated by we'll known English his
torian: "Arletta's pretty feet twinkling
in the brook gained her a Dukes love,
and gave us William the Conqueror Had
she not thus fascinated Duke Robert the
Liberal of Normandy, Harold would not
have fallen at Hastings, no Anglo-Saxon
dynasty. could have arisen, no British
Empire,

Jackson was lifted from the saddle, and
after great trouble was taken to hos
pital in the rear There his left arm was
amputated, and he was later removed to
the home of a Mr. Chandler near Gulneas
Depot Incipient pneumonia set in, and
on Sunday May 10, to the sorrow of all
Confederates, he died.
Thus, through accident, the Confed-
eracy lost its great military genius. Upon
receiving news of his being wounded, but
before his death, Lee wrote to him,
Gould | have directed events, l should
have chosen, for the good of the country,
to have been disabled in your stead.
That the South would have triumphed if
Jackson had survived is too much to
assert; but unquestionably the history
of the later campaigns would have been
much different OF the outcome OF
Charlottesville itself Jackson said be-
fore his death, IF l had not been
wounded or had had one more hour OF
daylight, should have cut off the enemy
from the road to United States Ford; we
should then have had them entirely sur
rounded; and they would have been
obliged to surrender or cut their way out.

THAT INHERITANCE TAX

We admit a leaning to the inheri-
tance tax as a certain and ample
source Of revenue for the national
government, and we would not fight
very hard against an income tax
On the common ground that both
must be levied against the man with
the money and property to pay on
the spot; provided always, that the
tax is not made burdensome or ex-
cessive.
The inheritance tax must come
from those who are, at the time,
richer than they ever were before;
and the income tax, from those who
are no poorer than they were.
It is high time the burden was be-
ing taken from the poor man Of the
country and put upon those better
able to bear and pay it, OF course,
if is understood that the principle Of
taxation is uniformity and equality
before the law; but the tax on staples
has always seemed to US to be the
very rankest expression Of inequity
in the distribution Of the public
burdens.
