NEW YORK PUESS This is bow England and foreign countries generally will bleed us when we have to dej^end on tbem for what we might as well make ourselves. When England was selling us steel rails in 18G7 for $150 a ton MWMMiMBWLiiimflgmMatmmiiHiMHB—aaa according to John Jarrott, price in England was §G8.-10 a ton.

IN 1880 the wealth of the United States was computed at 344,000,000,000 now tho wealth is estimated to be $G4,000,000,000—an increase of §2,000,000,000 for every single year. And yet the paople wero living under that "robber tariff" all the time. Terrible, isn't it? Just stand back and lot the free traders liave a chance. It will make all England, France and Germany smile just as it will make all America weep.

THE President has named Judge Henry 33. Brown, of Michigan, to be Associate Justice of the Supreme Court to succeed the late Associate Justice Miller. Judge Brown has for some years been presiding over the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan and the appointment is regarded as a most admirable one in every respect.

There are now 30,000 miles of railway ties in use in various parts of the world. Iu timberless countries they or some other kind must in time supersede all others. In the United States the time does not seem so far distant when resort to these or something else must be had, since the wooden railroad tie now consumes one-fifth of all the annual timber production of the country, 80,000,000 ties being required yearly. American forests are not inexhaustible.

The steel ties have been tried especially in the Australian colonies. In Queensland they work eo well that the cutting of timber for wooden ties has been forbidden. The metal ties there are made in the shape of an inverted trough without ends, upon which tho rails are fastened. Part of the Mexican railway is also laid with tho metal tie.

In view of the time when the world's timber will be no longer sufficient to yield railway ties one made of \per pulp has been proposed. An Englishman declares he has prepared one of wire netting covered with concrete which will answer tho purpose admirably.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Senatioral Talk—The Peculiarities of Senators—Stanford's Wealth. [Special Corresp. of The Journal .J

WASHINGTON, December 22, 18(J0 Tho election act has been a convenient flue for tho escape of Senatorial eloquence. Perhaps I had better say Senatorial talk. In truth the Senate is a bad school of oratory. Men do not acquire but lose the art of eloquence within its precincts. It is the rule for Senators to spread themselves when first they enter the chamber and then to degenerate in later years into plain matter of fact talkers. People would be not more surprised at the sight of perspiration upon the brow of Senator John Slier/.' an than they would at tho fall of flowery thoughts from his tongue. The man of ancient reminiscence says this was not so in the good old days when

Webster growled and Calhoun snarled. But in these times men talk through a copper wire with the multitude for critics. It is not, therefore, so much as how a man says it, but rather what he says. Macaulay declared the newspaper to be the foe of eloquence, and his New Zealander will be found, in consequonce, not listening "to the gathered wisdom of a thousand years" when he takes his stand upon a ruined aroh of London Bridge, but with the latest edition of the penny paper in his hand. Civilization has other uses than the encouragement of poetry and rhetoric. It happens, as said, that the specimens of oratory now dropped by Senators nearly all occur in what might be termed their soliool lKy days.

This introduction suflices to show why the older men talk "horse sense" and the youngei minds effervesce, like a newly drawn glass of soda wator. During the discussion of the election bill, is consequence, younger Senators, like Kenna of West Virginia, or Daniels, of Old Virginia, have set off the fireworks, while older Senators scatter no flowers but deal sledge hammer blows.

The most incisive talker in the Senate in Ingall6 of Kansas, the fairest in statement Allison of Iowa the most partisan in purpose, Hoar, of Massachusetts the sweetest in language, Voorhees, of Indiana the most vehement of expression, Blackburn, of Kentucky the most judicial of expression, Jones of Nevada, a man not a lawyer the one v*ho knows the most about finance, Sherman of Ohio the man the most silent, Quay, of Pennsylvania.

In debate the man who draws the biggest crowds is Ingalls who hides a shaft even in the Lord's Prayer. It must be a mighty sweet dish of honey from which the Kansas Senator cannot drain some vinegar. People, though, as everyone knows, would rather hear of the foibles and follies of others than of their own virtues.

The man who can empty the Senate quickest is D^wes, of Massachusetts. Tnis Senator is authority on Indian matters, a knowledge gained through the close 'snxdj or' Indian characters conveyed bv ihe reports of Indian agents.

The most unpretentica-i man in the Senate is he who has the most money— Stanford, of California. The California millionaire does not seem to realize that he has more cash than he can count. Other people respect i}, though, and tho number who would like to help spend it is greater than the claimed deiioit in tho New York oensus enumeration. Individually I have never discovered as to whether or not he is generously inclined, but from information I believe that a man's chances would be small indeed, as he gets a bushel basket of boKging letters a day. His fifty millions, after all, are not so many, for if generally spread around we would get a dollar apiece.

Stanford lives in a house which, although of modern construction nas a history. It is one of three in a square built by Boss Shepherd who ruined himself in the real estate deal. Shepherd intended to occupy the large corner house, but with financial disaster came the knowledge that he could not remain a resident of the city he had created. It is on tho opposite corner where Gov. Stanford now resides. The first owner and oocupant of this house was Hallet Kilbourn, the man who got more notoriety than money out of the original and only real estate pool which brought discredit upon the name of Washington. Unable to support the house in its proper style, Kilbourn sold it to Thos. J. Brady, the man, again unfortunate, who earned an ugly reputation in connection with the Star route speculation without a just and an honest, could such thing be possible, participation in their profits. Brady lived there long enough to find himself a poor man, and ho in turn pledged it in debt to one formerly a subordinate in his oilice, Theodore N. Vail, and later a supposable millionaire through some business connection with the development of the Bell telephone. Vail, therefore, is now the landlord of the millionaire California Senator. No one has ever lived as long in tho house as Gov. Stanford. LIVING.

FHS RAM ARKANSAS ON THE YAZOO

AND MISSISSIPPI.

Her Diirinv Commander uiul Crew—(hutting tTnioii Vessels Running Amuck Against tho Combined Flecis of Rams,

Guiilioiits and Ironelads.

[Copyright by American Press Association.! GOOD sea figlit always makes a fascinating story.

-zrSik-—

Perhaps it is the feeling at the outset that there cannot be any nonsense when two war vessels, with fire up, lock horns, and that blood and splinters are certain to follow. In the civil war the ^Confederate rams

Merrinmc (Virginia), Albemarle and

Arkansas gave tho Union navy some lively work, each in its own way. The Arkansas, like the Albemarle, was a surprise to Its own people as well as to its enemies. Six weeks before she took to the wave Bhe was an empty hull, .anchored in tho channel of the Yazoo river, four miles from dry land. Iler KUUS and engines were lyinj loose on deck, the iron for armor is sunk In the mud and water of the overflow, and the bands and bolts had yet to be forged out of metal scattered over sixty milesof territory, wherever it could be gathered, anil the timber *ov her pimcarriagcs was still standing thick with foliage. In this situation Capt. Isaac N. Brown found her, and with authority to complete her, regardless of expense, set to work with untrained mechanics and next to no machinery. Brown had served in the old navy, a good school for strong men.

Ho stopped at nothing, and though working under every disadvantage, with a powerful Union fleet within six hours' tteaming, and hostile guns constantly founding in the ears of his improvised force of helpers, ho was ready with the falling of the waters to weigh anchor. The armor had not been put over her stern, and for appearance' sake boiler iron was tacked on to cover up tho wood. She looked, says her commander, "as if a small seagoing vessel had been cut down to the water's edge, leaving a box for guns amidships." She carried ten guns—six in broadside and two fore and aft—with a crew of one hundreiLseamen and sixty riflemen from the army of Missouri. The under officers were all from the old navy, and Brown declares that his only trouble with them was to keep from running the Arkansas into the Union fleet bofore she was ready for battle. When within sixty miles of the Mississippi Brown sent word to the Confederate commander at Vicksburg, Gen. Earl Van Dorn, that he was readv for operations. Van Dorn ordered him to steam out of the Yazoo and attack the upper Union fleet and come to VicK3burc.

There were thirty-seven Union vessels in sight of that place, he said, and "plenty more up 'he river." It was to be expected that the formidable Union fleets of Farragut, Davis and Ellet would not rest in their moorings to await the Arkansas, and she sailed down the Yazoo, all hands alert for the enemy. On the first day the astounding discovery was made that owing to a leakage in steam all the powder on board had been rendered unlit for use. A landing was made and the powder was spread out on tarpaulins, shaken, turned and dried under the fierce July sun, and the next day the ram steamed on toward the mouth of the Yazoo. Another night and morning run brought the vessel to Old river, an abandoned channel of the Mississippi, so broad as to form a lake Its lenmh from where the Yazoo enters to the opening into the Mississippi is about ten miles. Midway of this body of water were seen three Union vessels steaming up thecourse. It seems that deserters from some Confederate force the Yazoo had reached one of Farragut's vessels and announced the coming "f the ram. Although the information was scouted as impossible, owing to the sparse resources of the Confederates in that region, the ironclad Carondelet, the ram Queen of the West and tlie gui.bout Tyler were sent up to meet- anything on those waters. Brown hailed their appearance with a speech to his men. "Gentlemen," said lie. "in seeking combat, as we now do, we must win or perish. Should I fall, whoever succeeds to the command will do so with the resolution to go through the enemy's fleet or go to the bottom. Should they carry us by boarding, the Arkansas must bo blown up on no account, must she fall into the hands of the enemy. Go to your guns!"

That speech meant business, and the oflicers took oil their coats, while the men stripped to the waists and bound wet handkerchiefs on their heads. The riflemen fixed bayonets and stood ready for boarders. Brown ordered his pilot to stand for the Carondelet, the central vessel of the three, but before he could ram her she put about, first firing her bow guns at short range. The Tyler and Queen of the West also put about, and poured shot from their stern guns into the plucky ram. Then came

"viJ.sr A

CHASING TIIE CARONDELET.

a lively battle chase. The Arkansas kept her prow aimed at the fleeing Carondelet, her two sixty-four pounder bow guns raking the chase with terrible effect. The Tyler anil Queen of the West from time to time tried to drop astern of the saucy ram, but Brown no sooner pointed his prow at them than in turn they followed the Carondelet's lead. In half an hour all three gave up the fight, though not strik-, ing colors. The Carondelet ran into shallow water, where tho Arkansas could not follow, tho latter taking a parting shot. Over twenty shots had entered the Carondelet her pipes, pumps, beams and principal machinery were a useless mass, and of her crew thirty wero killed, wounded and missing. The Tyler was penetrated by eleven shot, was filled with steam and had eight killed and sixteen wounded. Tho Arkansas new suffered from small shot. Brown was wounded by a minie during tho cnasc, but came on deck iu time to end the fight with the Carondelet. Tho Tyler and Queen of the Weststeamed off toward the Mississippi.

Cheer after cheer went up from the

Arkansas. 3m there was 110 time to'lose. With the Tyle* steaming rapidly toward the main fleet, to give warning, Brown must expect a warm reception for his ram Lf he kept his course. It would be a fight for life to reach the cover of the Vicksburg batteries in the face of tlie|awakened Union licet. But the Arkansas steamed on, her commander, with warm blood streaming down his face, inspecting, repairing and animating all. Owing to damages to pipes the temperature of the fire room was 130 degs. and steam had dropped down to twenty pounds. When the ram swung into the Mississippi only the Tyler and Queen of the West wero to be seen, but soon a line of men-of-war were ir, sight, literally, by hulks alone, barring projfress down the stream. There were iron-clads superior in armor and speed to the ram there were seven rams and ten seagoing Bhips of war, in all, says good authority, "3,000 men, 300 heavy gnus, and a vast squadron of iron-clads, gunboats, frigates, etc., against a solitary Confederate vessel of ten guns and 200 men."

Without a second's delay the Arkansas dashed along the line, giving Gunboat No. 0 several shots. Next she encountered the Louisville and gave her a broadside. The Benton, Louisville and Cincinnati were passed, the ram firing at everything within range. The Benton, Louisville and Cincinnati swung into the current and gave chase. Then the ram ran the gantlet of nine vessels, receiving a damaging broadside from each. These were the Hartford, Iroquois. Richmond, Sumter, Oiu'ida, Sciota, Wissahickon, Winona and F,ssex.

Two eleven-inch shot penetrated tho ram, doing fearful execution. One shell exploded in a cotton bale lining of the bulwark and set up a blaze, also wounding or killing some sixteen of the gun crews. As a rule, however, shots were flattened and shells shattered against the armor of the ram. Every shot, ou striking the plate, threw sparks and flame like flint. On tho other hand theArkansasputshotsthrough the Hartford, Richmond, Iroquois and Benton and several other vessels. The Union rams vainly attempted to run her to the bottom. The Lancaster made one effort and got three shots through her steam pipe.

After an hour's run Vicksburg was in sight, and a rifle shell from a battery on the bluffs warned the Union fleet to cease the pursuit. The siege of Vicksburg was raised, and the people and the army hailed the blood stained hero. Brown, and his daring crew. The Union loss reported at the time was forty-two killed and sixty-nine wounded. Seventy-three shots were re-

While the Arkansas lay at the wharves at Vicksburg the consternation among Union commanders was very great lest he should go down and recapture New Orleans. The commander of the Mississippi ram fleet. Ellet, said, "The continued existence of the rebel gunboat Arkansas so near us is exercising a very pcrnicious influence upon the confidence of our crews, and even upon the commanders of our boats."

A council was held in Farragut's flagship, and it was resolved to run the upper fleet past the Vicksburg batteries and the redoubtable ram. so as to protect Farragut's great prize, New Orleans. The upper and the lower fleets were to open on the ieksburg b:-.tt cries, and one by one the choicest vi-sneis were to run pa.st the rani, giving he'1 broadsides or their beaks, as was most convenient. Just a week after the ram's exploit, and .vhilo she was without a crew, having only men, with officers to help, for two guns, the ball opened amid a deafening cannonade from the two fleets, and the answering Confederate batteries. The Union ironclad ram Essex and the Queen of the West dropped down and stood for the Arkansas.

The Essex found the Arkansas at anchor and ran into her across current, doing little damage with her beak in consequence, but one of her ten-inch shot tore through the Confederate with terrible damage, disabling a gun and half her crew. In return Brown gave the Essex a broadside and sent her drifting down the river. Tho Queen of the West came on, making the mistake also of striking across the current instead of with it. The Arkansas backed off, saving herself from the shock of contact with the strongest ram afloat, and giving her a score of shots that sent her back up the river aleak, with a badly damaged smokestack, and all of her steam pipes shot awav.

The Arkansas was now put into partial repair. Brown went on sick leave, turning over the command to his lieutenant, Stevens. The hitter was ordered to take the vessel to Baton Rouge, and steamed rapidly down without encountering a Union vessel. One of the engines of the ram proved faulty and was repaired and she taken up stream on a trial trip. Here she met, tho Union fleet, the Essex leading. The Arkansas promptly started for her old antagonist, but her weak engine again gave out. The Essex opened, the Arkansas replying, and finally Stevens ran his vessel into the mud and sent all hands ashore. Firing her, he sent her adrift, and the Essex from a safe distance poured in a furious lire until she blew up from her own magazine.

Brown was on his way to the vessel, and reached the scene just after the explosion. In his account in The Century War Book he says, with excusable exultation, "With colors flying, the gallant Arkansas, whose decks had never been pressed by the foot of an enemy, was blown into the air."
