CHAPTER l..
Hope and Disappointment.

Lieutenant Thomas Holton, com.
mander of the Scorpion, made as
though to place the dispatch in his
pocket, then, taking pity upon his see
ond," who was all eyes, he turned the
paper over to his junior lieutenant
known throughout the fotilla as Bob
by" Frost.
"You will leave Newport News at
ten o'clock tonight with the destroyer
Scorpion and proceed south to the par
ent ship of the First Torpedo Boat Flo
tita off Key West, prepared for &C.
ton"
This order vas warmly welcomed by
Holton and by his second in command
of the grim, lead-colored Scorpion.
1T looks like business, doesn't it,
observed Frost, with tentative intlec-
ton in his voice.
1T does, sure" chuckled Holton.
I'm glad we had those Earthquakes
fixed in the boiler. | suppose we
might as well have the ~war-heads fixed
on the torpedoes, too. The orders say
prepare for action Attend to it,
will you, Frost?"
AYE, aye, sir" and Frost hurried
along the grimy, oily deck to the after
companionway.
The somewhat informal nature Of
the dialogue between the two will be
forgiven by the fastidious when it is
pointed out that for a month the Scor-
pion had been laying at Newport News
on detached duty Of a confidential ma
ture under direct orders from Wash.
ingtOn, and that Holton's sole com
panion aboard ship in that time had
been his young second. But the period
of loneliness was evidently to end in
a burst of glory and Lieutenant Holton
was truly thankful.
In the preceding month the mighty
b%attle.ship Maine had wallowed down
into the Shiny o 2 of Havana Harbor,
q great hole torn in her forward com
partments. In her lay one of Holton's
best friends: a shipmate of pleasant
days following graduation at the Naval
Academy. The cry, Remember the
Maine" was sounding from Maine
Itself to California. The entire coun-
try was on the qui vive. Osgood, the
hero of many an American football
gridiron, had. as a Cuban volunteer.
given up his life at the side of a ma.
chine gun; Frederick Funston had
served ~valiantly against the tyrants of
CASTLE and Aragon, and other Ameri.
cans had given evidence that the fight
ing spirit was by no means dormant in
the heart of a nation of pigs and
tradesmen."
With the situation thus there was
little u for wonder at Lieutenant
Holton's emotions of mental exalta.

for him, at least this seemed certain:
there would be action, and that is

.nY AnseelArsp easss,


WASHINGTON, June 3.-The spec
ial Senate committe named for the
purpose of making an investigation
of coal mining conditions in West
Virginia today began a search for all
documentary evidence in Washington
bearing on the situation. Some time
ago the department of labor probed
charges of peonage in West Virginia
and examined into the condition of
immigrants employed in the mines.
The committee today decided to ask
the department for a copy OF its re-
port.
, Another examination has been made
by the postoffice department through
a special agent who probed charges
that miners were forcibly prevented
from using the postoftices and secur-
ing their mail The committee will
ask Postmaster General Burleson for
a COPY of that report. Tomorrow the
committee expects to receive state
ments from representatives of the
miners and coal operators.

AS Well as Wheat and Flour
Says Senator Simmons,
Chairman.
ar Asseela1sn easss,


WASHINGTON, June 3.-Chairman
Simmons, of the Senate finance COM
mittee, after a conference today with
President Wilson said that he believed
when the tariff bill was ready for con-
sideration by the Democratic caucus
next week, cattle, wheat, meats and
flour very probably Will be on the
free list.
1t had been reported that the sub
committee in charge of the agricul-
tural schedule had determined to put
a nominal duty on meats and fiours
in order to equaIize them with the
free listing of cattle and wheat but
Mr.. Simmons declared after his talk
with the president that he expected
both the raw material and the finished
product to be free listed. He declined
to say whether the change had been
made at the instance of the president
or senator's. He said that the bill
would be considered. by the Senate
caucus all next week and be reported
out of committee the following week.
Later it was learned that it was
the president who had decided upon
the free listing of raw materials as
we'll as finished products as the best
means of equalization. It was said
that while the sub committees recon-
mendations that the finished products
be made dutiable and the raw mater
ial free was reversed at the White
House it was only after many senator's
had expressed through Chairman Sim
mons their acquiescence, the decision
was left to the president.
