NEWS OF THE OLD DOMINION.
Anniversary Of BATTLE
Plan to Celebrate Historic Merrimac
Monitor Engagement of Fifty
Years Ago.

Richmond, Oct. 3O.-Much interest
has been aroused in Confederate and
other circles in Richmond over the re.
port from Norfolk OF plan to COM
memmorate the immortal battle in
Hampton Roads between the Merrimac
and Monitor, which was the beginning
OF the revolution Of the naval architec-
ture of the world.
The tiftieth anniversary OF the first
engagement between ironc!ads will take
place March 9, 1912, and plan has
been proposed to fight that historie>bat-
tie all over again.
Only a few OF the men who fought
for that entire day in the unaccustomed
lurrets OF the two men o'war are now
living. Buta handful will remain to
, SEQ the old days brought back to mem.
Dry, if the idea for the celebration is
carried out.
The scheme is to have all OF the re-
naming survivors of the engagement
assemble at a reproduction of that fight
which was one OF the most conspicuous
IN naval HISTORY.
Captain Charles A. McAllister, engi-
neer-in chief OF the United States Rev
enue Cutter Service, conceived the
plan. He is OF the opinion, it is I'M
derstood, that the Navy Department
will gladly send squadron OF the
North Atlantic fleet to Hampton Roads
to participate in the celebration, and
with very little trouble Congress would
consent to invite the foreign powers to
send some OF their dreadnaughts here
to aid in making the event memoir
BILE week.
The cost OF building models OF the
iron covered Virginia and the Yankee
cheese boy'' would be very small, it
has Been pointed out.
For many years the type OF the
Monitor was followed in the construc-
ton OF all tirst-class armored vessels.
Her style was finally abolished, but
the principle of her lone turret has
remained practically the same and is
still 10 vogue aboard the mammoth
fighting ships OF the twentieth century.

vestigation into penitentiary affairs as

NEW CARDINALS CREATED
Archbishops Farley and O'Connel..
and Mgr. Falconio to Receive
Red Hats.

The creation OF three American car
dinals (Arch bishops Farley and O'Don-
nell and Mgr. Falconio) has aroused IN
tense interest in Rome. The fixing OF
the date for holding the consistory and
the naming OF II other cardinals bas
been overshadowed by the announce.
ment of the honors which are to go the
United States.
Tue pope yesterday recalled that
when he was elected pontiff the first
pilgrimage he receiv, twa5 an Amer
lean pilgrimage the first flags waved 10
st. Peters for bis election, and the first
be blessed were American. On that
OCCASION he promised Cardinal Gibbons
that eventually he would appoint, not
one, but scvcral American cardinals.
The distinction conferred upon Amer
ica is the highest in the history of the
church, considering that that country,
until 1908, was still a missionary coun
try in the eyes OF the vatican, and I'M.
der the jurisdiction OF the congregation
Of the Propaganda. Under similar
conditions England is the only country
that ha S ever had three cardinals al
Que time, Newman, Manning and
Howard, whose entrance into the
Sacred College was due to their per-
sonalties.
In the present instance, it is stated,
the pope has decided to elevate three
American prelates to the cardinalate.
In accordance with his oft-repeated as
sertion that he deSi-en 70 show the
great appreciation he has for the in
tIuence OF America aud the enligbten-
ment Of the eDiscopacy there.
