that port on December g. Although 1t
was not expected that prizes would be
taken in its vicinity, a sharp lookout,
which was kept, was rewarded on the
next day by the sight of a vessel of un-
mistakable American lines, sailing
through the Straits Of Malacca.

The ship displayed the British flag, but

shot across her bows and send boat on

The boarding officer found the ships
papers apparently in regular form. The
register purported TO be for the British
ship Martaban, of Maulmain, rice port
in India. The other papers corresponded
with the register. The vessel was laden
with rice destined for Singapore, the
cargo beirs the property of British sub
jects.
The AIabama's boarding office noted
that the ship had been transferred TO
British register only ten days before. and
that her name had formerly been the
Texan Star.
The officer thereupon requested the
master of the ship who. by his speech,
could be none other than a New Eng
lander, to come on board the Alabama.
The captain replied that he would see
Commander Semmes considerably farther
before he would go on board the Ala
bama and furthermore that no Confeder-
ate could force a British shipmaster to
leave his own ship.
This being reported to Commander
Semmes. the master of the Alabama de-
cided to go on board the merchant ship.
This was the only ship ever boarded
personally during all my cruises" noted
Commander Semmes in his journal.
With sailors appreciation. the COM
mander of the commerce destroyer noted
as he was rowed toward the Texan Star
the beauty of her lines. Her long,
graceful hull. with faring bow and
rounded stern, her tall masts, square
yards and skysail poles all proclaimed

FEDERAL HIGHWAY Aid

Assistant Postmaster General Would

Division.
DELINQUENcIES ARE REDUCED

Readjustment of the Division of
Rural Mails and Federal aid for road
improvement, in connection with the
rural delivery service, are advocated
in the report of James /. Blakslee,
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
for the fiscal year ended June 30, sub
mitted yesterday to Postmaster Cen
eral Burleson.
The plan as agreed upon for the ex-
penditure of the appropriation OF S5oo'-
600, made by Congress for the improve
ment of roads over which the rural
delivery service is in operation, pro-
vided for the allotment Of $4,000 to
each of the States, contingent on the
State or its local subdivisions furnish
ing double that amount.
At the close of the fiscal year, Mr..
Elakslee says in his report, projects for
cooperative road improvement in Vir-
ginia. Maine Maryland, North Carolina,
Georgia, Mississippi. Alabama, Texas,
Kentucky. Tennessee, Ohio. Minnesota,

SPEAKER DISAPPOINTS
The SECULAR LEAGUE
Rev. c. S. Davidson Fails to Appear
to Tell Why He Denounced
the Ministry.
SEVERAL ADDRESSES ARE MADE

Many persons who gathered at Pythian
Temple yesterday afternoon to hear Rev
Charles Steele Davidson. Of Chariottes-
vile, Va, speak under the auspices of
the Washington Secular League on ''why
1 Renounced the Ministry OF the Episco-
pal Church. were disappointed by the
nonarrival of Mr.. Davidson. for which
the officers OF the league were unable
to account, Mr.. Davidson having written
few days ago that he would be on
hand.
Impromptu addresses were made by
Col Fl. Martin Williams. reading clerk
of the House, and Mrs Clara Bewick
Colby, Phi. D.. who happened to be
present Mr.. Williams pointed out some
of the difficulties the theology of the
churches presents to thinking people In
cidentally he advocated local self govern
ment for the District OF Columbia.
Mrs. Colby presented what she termed
the national viewpoint and feeling with
respect to the District of Columbia, and
held that it should be a national expert
ment station to try out new methods OF
government. She took advantage Of the
opportunity to discuss briefly suffrage
for women. She has been an active ad-
vocate Of this for twenty years.
A general discussion was participated
IN Dy w. I. Arnett, Wnlam II. Macheh-
zie, DIR. n. p. Holler, Samuel Saloman,
Julian Pierce, and Leonard Tuttle.
During the discussion Rev. Howard G.
England asserted that Mr.. Davidson's
reputation OF the Episcopal ministry
was not due to faults in the church, but
to reasons personal to Mr.. Davidson
himself. He also made general de-
Tense of the church, to which a briei
reply was made by President John ID.

somewhat of loss to understand the rea-
son for this, as he had supposed he would
fall in with numerous richly laden Amer
lean ships homeward bound from Chinese
ports.
His arrival at Singapore enlightened
him to the cause of his apparent fail-
ure. The presence of the Alabama in the
far East virtually had kept American
ships from holding the seas in that part
of the world.
"A very gratifying spectacle met our
eyes at Singapore" wrote Commander
Semmes in his journal. There were
twenty-five American ships there-large
Indiamen-almost all of which were dis
mantled and laid up. The burning of our
first ship in these seas. the Amanda, of
the Straits of Sunda November g. had
sent a thrill of terror through all the
Yankee shipping far and near, and it had
hastened to port to get out of harm $
way
I'VE had recent news here from all
parts of the China Sea by vessels pass
ing constantly through the Straits of
Malacca and touching at Singapore for
orders or refreshments. There were two
American ships laid up at Bankok, in
Siam; one or two at Canton: two or three
at Shanghai. one or two at the Philip
pine Islands, and one or two more IN
Japanese waters.
No ship could get a freight and the
commerce of the enemy was as dead for
the time being as if every ship belong
ing to Trim had been destroyed. We had
here the key to the mystery that the
Alabama had encountered no American
ship in-the China Sea since she had burn
ed the Contest November ID"
HonewHrd hound.
This state of affairs decided the future
course of Commander Semmen He had
thought of running up the China Sea
as far as Shanghai; but he ow decided
after leaving Singapore to shape his
course westward, to pass again by the
Cape of Good Hope into the Atlantic.
Another powerful motive influenced him
to turn homeward. The Alabama was
very much out of repair. The strength
of her hull had been impaired by storms
and long cruising; the copper was worn
from her bottom and was dropping of
in sheets, greatly reducing her speed and
exposing the wood to the ravages of
worms, while her boilers were nearly
eaten out by deposits of salt
Commander Semmes resolved to take
his homeward course through the Ma
lacca Straits. into the Bay of Bengal,
along the coast of Hindustan, across the
mouth of the Red Sea and along the coast
of Madagascar. thus varying the route
that he had taken eastward, which had
been straight across the Indian Ocean.
