"WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20. 1SU7. EIGHT PAGES. The supporters of Mr. Dow in the \ Grotitcr Now York campaign are criti? cising the admlnistration severely for Interfering In 'the campaign in behalf of General Tracy. The business and professional men OT Itichmond have decided /;o create a pop? ular fund to endow the Virginia. Me? chanics' Institute of thut city us a me? morial of Lewis G Irrt er. General Pita Lee is quoted by the Alexandria Gazette as fraying that "lie, as a good Democrat, was willing, at all ttlmes, to abide T>y the arbitrament of this party's conventlona. Braving 'the authority of Woylor, cut? ting a prison 'bar, getting a young girl out of a country Infested and sur? rounded by secret police spies Is no in? considerable achievement. The Denver Post is glad lo hear thai, idrosscd hogg and dressed beeves are be Ing sent Into the ?Klondike country. It ?would be extremely cruel 'to .send them to sucli a frigid land in an undressed condition. It is estthnruted that the United States furnishes 62 per cent, of Mexico's Im? ports, against 45 per cent, in 1SI?">. Eng? land furnishes 17 per cent., and Germany 10 per cent., while Spain and other oountrles contribute 8 per cent. iDr. Nansen expresses the opinion that Androp, the (dftrliig Swedish aeronaut, la fltill alive, A'ndrce, Nansen thinks, probably landed In the North American archipelago or on the northern shores of the American or Siberian coast. Colonel Zayas. "minister plenipoten? tiary to Great Britain from the Cuban republic," declares that Cuba will not accept home rule unon the plan of the ?agasta government, as outlined in the press dispatches. "Independence or death" Is our motto," says Col. /.ayas. ' 11UA1\S AT A niNCOUNT. . The Savannah News publishes the Hollowing, but for what purpose does not appear, unless It Is to show that Ibrnlns are at a discount, and that it pays better to be a baseball player than' a college professor! "Aw, what's d" good of It," said Chuck Connors, when asked if he did not wish ho were educated. Chuck couldn't spell six consecutive words of oo syllable each correctly to save ills life, yet 'the report is that he Is re? ceiving $100 a week on the stake?a cum Jorger than any professor In Geor? gia receives. Ed. HanVon, flic baseball player and manager, has Just declined an offer of $12,000 a year for about six months' work?a sum greater than Is paid to the majority of college presi? dents, and more .than twlco the salary Of a United States Senator." lA'Ccordlng to the foregoing the ba.se t>all 'business appears to 'have the Ad? vantage in the way of dollars. ?Tlir.lt I V I S FIXED AN ALASKA. 'According t'o the New York Times ithero aro other eyes than those, of gold hunters, which are already fixed upon Alaska. Though that land has not yet reached the dignity of am organized territory, the Western statesmen arc impressed by the potential value in a political way of the population it will have next summer, and they have formulated a echeniA says the Times, for the division of the huge region Into two regular Ter? ritories, with regular officers and the regular ambition to become Spates as soon as circumstances warrant, or rather, as soon as clrcumstamces excuse such action. Our contemporary, of course, deprecates buch action, and very properly remarks that at present Alaska cries for explorers rather than for politi? cians, and until clearer proof, than any now at hand is given that it is ever to be more than a collection of mining camps there would appear to be no ur? gent demand for an increase in the number of Its capitals. Just sol But are we not'a great peo? ple after all? But a few days ago the names of a number of gentlemen were announced as prospective oillcc holders ?for Hawaii when that Island should be annexed, and that President McKinley had already picked out an Ohio man for appointment as Hawaii's Governor, and now .they are talking of this Alaska business. We are a great people and no mistake. the jiomkhi's conn axder de a d The death of Rear Admiral Worden, who commanded the Ironclad Monitor, in that vessel's action with the Con? federate ironclad Vrginla, in Hampton Roads on March '.Uli, 1S62, gives the Baltimore American opportunity to say something which no doubt Is has long wished to say concerning the engage? ment between the two vessels; some? thing which everybody who knows any? thing about the light between the Mon? itor and Virginia knows to be Incor? rect. If the American were engaged In mak? ing history there is no telling what harm it might do, but as it only writes to please certain Northern renders, ?there is no special harm done, only, it Is Incorrect when It claims victory for the Monitor in her engagement with the Virginia, and it is as well that k should be reminded of the fact. In re? ferring to the Ha npton Roads engage ment the American aays: "Tue Moni tor. with' Warden In command, steamed Into'?Hampton Hoods and dropped an? chor. Not much time \vas lost In ma neuverlhg. Each commander knew Jhv. Btinctlvcly that he had mot a danger-: ous adversary. Jpo two vessels were rapidly cleared 'to^l^ctlorj, and dashed at euch other, The shock. Was terrible, byt. It did not appear to hurt cither. Again and again they rushed to battle, using their tremendous guns with foar ful (.fleet, and <at length the Virginia drew off and steamed up the river to Norfolk, never again 'to become a par? ticipant In the war. "Admiral Wordon's part In the fight "was overshadowing. Though badly In? jured in tho revolving turret of tho -Monitor, and almost blinded, he person? ally superintended and conducted at all points, mid Is. entitled, to tho lion's chare of the credit f ir the victory." Nobody has any wish to deprive the Admiral of any credit that may have been due him for Ihe part he took in the fight, b|it when -the American de? clares him to be "entitled to the lion's share of the credit lor tho victory," we tail a halt that it may say to What Vici ry it refers'.' It may be customary In the North' to credit victory to the Monitor, but facts do not bear It out. It is a matter of history that the Virginia destroyed the men-of-war Congress and Cumberland, and that other craft were damaged and others captured before the arrival of the Mon? itor, and that in' the engagement with tho Monitor that vessel took refuge from the Virginia In shallow water and mil of the range of her guns. Yet the American speaks of credit to Admi? ral Worden for Die Monitor's victory. What victory'.' According to the Baltimore Sun, Cap? tain Van Brunt, a Federal ofllcer in command of >the Minnesota, which was aground, said it was the Monitor that retired first. The alleged viotory of the Monitor, in fact, is very much like that of Gettysburg?It did not become a vic? tory until some time after the light. The dispatch of Clideon Welles, Secre? tary of the Navy, on March 10th, di? recting that the Monitor be "not too much exposed," and "in 110 event" go to Norfolk "unattended," seems to show defect. The same thing Is Indicated by his order, "If vessels can be procured and loaded with stone and sunk In the channel It is Important that It should be done." Such a stone blockade against the Virginia seems to show what was thought of the result in Washington the day after the light. Lieutenant Jones, who commanded the ? Virginia, says: "The Virginia did not return to Norfolk until after the Monitor had put nn end to the tight by running off Into shoal water ?beyond the reach of our guns." Yet the Amerlcnit claims the light a victory for the Monitor. NOTES AND OPINIONS. The friends of Archbishop Keane will give a banquet in his honor at Washing ton on October 13.
