TO-DAY IN HISTORY.
Fight Between Alabama and Kearsaree. June 10

The depredations made by the Alabama
under Capt. Raphael Semmes during the
civil war, upon merchant vessels flying
the United States flag, were so extensive
that that vessel came to be known as
The scourge of the seas" as well as
came near bringing serious complications
between England and America. These sea
devastations were brought to an end on
June ls, 1854 when the engagement which
at last sealed the Alabama's doom took
place on Sunday afternoon, off Cher
bourg, in the English Channel. in plain
sight Of the two great maritime powers
of Europe
The Alabama seemed to be fortunate in
escaping every effort made to destroy
the vessel, until she was at last over
taken by the United States gunboat
Kearsarge. which was comma nded by
Capt. John A. Winslow. Early in June
the Alabama made her escape from the
United States naval vessels at the Cape
of Good Hope and Straits Of Sunda. and
reached the French coast, where she took
refuge under the guns of Fort Du Romet,
off Cherbourg, French port. At this
time the Kearsarge was lying at Flush
ing, Holland at which point Winslow
received word of the location OF the Ala
bama. The Kearsarge Immediately put
to sea, and arrived at Cherbourg in quick
time taking the Alabama quite by sur
prise.N
About 10 o'clock on the Sunday morning
of the fight the Alabama steamed out OF
the Cherbourg harbor. The Kearsarge
was about three miles off the entrance,
and in order that none Of the maneuvers
would take place within French waters.
she steamed to distance Of about seven
miles from the shore.
The Alabama advanced to the fight, and
about II o'clock the Kearsarge steamed
about and opened fire. The action lasted
little over one hour. and seven COM
plete circles were made during the bat
tie. The gunners OF the Alabama fired
rapidly and wild, while the Kearsarge
gunners were slower and more deliberate.
The effect Of the training Of the Kear-
sarge's men was evident; nearly every
shot from their guns told fearfully on
the Alabama. and finally the latter yes
sci hoisted the white flag. Shortly after
this her boats were seen lowering, and
an officer in one of them came alongside
the Kearsarge and stated that the skip

IN twenty minutes from this. time the
Alabama went down. her mainraast.
which had been shot, breaking near the
head as she sank. and her bow rising
high out OF the water as her stern rap
idly settled.
At precisely tWenty-four minutes past
y, twenty minutes after her furnace fires
went out the Alabama, being on the
point Of making her final plunge, the
word went forth for every man to take
care Of himself, which they did by jump

says. 1T is now thirty-seven years since
the Alabama sank In the green waves
OF CherbOurg. Those of US who were old
enough to read the newspaper extras that
were issued when the account of it was
telegTaphed home are old enough to
know better than 90 call Semmes a

land, was counted a hero there, and a.
fine sword was given to him to replace
the one he threw into the sea. Let the
prejudiced ship owner who lost money

captain it is who. knowing his force is
inferior, sails boldly out to meet watch

What viii Theodore Roosevelt do?
This inquiry is in the public mind to-
day. It is the universal thought.
On his memorable trip, taken pri-
marily for the purpose of self-effacement,
while the new administration went
through its formative stages, he received
homage seldom accorded save TO royal
personages. and now, welcomed 10 his
native land as only two other men in
our history-Grant and DeWey-ever were
welcomed. he Is admittedly the most
striking. formidable. and picturesque FIG
ure in American life. Moreover, he is the
most forceful and commanding figure.
What Will this man of destlny-Theo-
Gore Roosevelt-do?
Nobody. not even the strenuous apostle
of the square deal htmselfs, can answer
that question. Only the future can re-
veal his course, direct his way. and shape
his further destiny.
Events make men; men do not make
events. He could not control his future.
if he tred. Unlike his fellows in tenn
permanent. character, and characteristics.
he is no more able to control his public
life than is the average public man. He
can regulate it. in a measure. That is
all
II Theodore Roosevelt could have made
his career, he would have begun it by
being elected mayor OF New York, and
perhaps ended it there
If he could have controlled his destiny.
he would never have become Vice Presi-
dent of the United States. and, therefore.
in all probability, never have become
President.
This world-stirring journey. now so tri-
umphantly closed, would never have oc-
CURED If he could have controlled his
future ten years ago.
An extraordinary and intensely acute
political situation exists on his return.
The past furnishes no parallel for Il. A
crisis confronts the party that has so
long been in the aseendency and exer-
cised the ruling hand in the affairs of
the republic.
Abnormal economic and Industrial con-
ditiOns. produced by an era of expansion

Theodore Roosevelt will do something.
This is sure. He is forever doing some

Whatever he does. his is TO be no Sec
ondary OF subordinate role.
Theodore Roosevelt has done much for

masses viii ever be ready to listen.
But if We do not know what Theodore
Roosevelt is going to do-if his future is
full OF political uncertainty-we do know
that he is brave. high-minded full
fedged American patriot, with heart at
tuned to the countrys welfare; and.
knowing that. we know he has not come
