While all eyes are turned with a strained and anxious gaze towards the West Indies, and newspapers are filled with names of places unfamiliar to not be uninteresting to recall some of the deeds of Tan'&ee pailors in those waters one hundred years ago; for in those days the names which seem now st-auge to us were familiar to the public, and we Lave history repeating itself as the century closes. The thunders of the American navy have broken the tropic silence of those coral reefs and palm girt isles and many a good fight has been made there by Yankee tars in days long past, as thare will be again in days soon to come, and while they were not always victorious, they never faltered in their duty, and were fighters always. Tho first of the 32 gun frigates ordered built by congress in 1775, to get to sea, was the "Randolph," Cap tain Nicholas Kiddle in command. After meeting with the accidents of gales and storms so damaging to the old battle ships, and after takirg numerous prizes, and being for a con sid arable time blockaded in the port of Charleston, finally, 'in March, 1778, she sailed, with several smaller vessels, in search of British men-of-war and pri vateers. On the 7th of the month, while east of Martinique, the British 04 gun ship of the line "Yarmouth" was sighted, and although the Yar mouth was about twice the size of the Randolph, Biddle at once closed in on her after signaling his consorts to get oui or aanger, and singie-nanded en raged the Englishman, and fought a lively running action for an hour, when the Randolph blew up. Biddle, though seriously wounded, refused to be carried below, and was having his wounds dressed on deck when the explosion occurred. Four of the Randolph's seamen were picked up off a piece of the wreck by the Yarmouth four day. later, being all that remained of a rew of 315, but the course rursued by Biddle saved the other vessels of his Iket, as the Yarmouth had been too badly injured by the Randolph to chase and capture them. In January, 177S, the I J-gun ship "Providence" landed 25 men at Nas sau and seized the forts, and turning their guns on a 16 pound privateer in the harbor captured her. and six other vessels lying there, and after spiking all the guns in the fortifications, carrying off the small arms and ammunition found there, and burning two of the prizes, sailed away the next day with the others, without the loss of a man. On the outbreak of the war with France in 17S3, a condition existed in some degree similar to that of the past few years. j At the close of the revolution in 179S we had but three men-of-war, and one of these was afterward convercea imo a mercnantmui, and no-if cena van toVan tMpr.ta knnj;.! - -! . f ww u0 VUW UUliUlU ;a uo of a naw until 17W. rh.n I a frigates, three of 44 guns and tkiee of j o guns, were enttor aea to be built 9. They were to be superior in every way '

to anything then afloat, and the high est standard was aimed at. The first i f these to be launched was the United States, forty-four guns, followed in the same year by the Constel

lation and the Constitution, but as the war which was existing with Algiers when the six frigates were authorized. was ended by a treaty in November, 1705, the timbers prepared for the other three vessels were sold and only the above named were finished, and it was not until trouble began seriously with France that any further move ment toward providing a navy made: then, after war had been de clared, three more frigates were or dered. and. as it IS now. SO it was then, the navy at once became popu lar, and the best young men of the country were accepted as midshipmen, and experienced officers of the merehnt marine were tnven places ol command. In addition to the three frigates above named, the navy con sisted of numerous other vessels rang ing down from the 21 -gun ship, such as the Portsmouth, to the 10-gun sloop General Green, eieht of the number beincr merchantmen and not con sid ered efficient as war vessels; there were a few others built by private sub scription and by some of the states. In June, 1798, Captain Trnxtun, in the Constellation, captured a French privateer of 14 guns which was refit ted and taken into the navy under the name of the Retaliation, which was in November of the same year, while un der the command of Lieutenant Bain bridge, retaken near Gaudeloupe by the French, Bainbridge surrenderee to three French frigates, and by trick, after his eaptnre, assisting his consorts to escape. Bainbridge suf fered a long imprisonment in Gaude loupe, and afterwards in Tripoli, but lived to add brilliant lustre to the his tory of the navy by the glorious vic tory of the Constitution, under his command, over the British frigate Java, December 29th, 1812 in the Brazilian waters through Oregon has just parsed. which the It was while at San Domingo that Hull, as navigator of the Constitution won a cask of wine from the captain of a British cruiser by beating him an all-day sailing race, he Englishman havictr expressed contempt for the sailing qualities of the American ships and in great confidence wagering cask of wine on the resuit. This, of course, was during the peace prevail ing between this country and England prior to the war of 1812. It was near Martinique that the United States, in which Stephen De catur was at the time serving as a mid shipman, with one 24 pound shot sunk a French six-gun privateer and at the same time captured another of S guns The United States, while under the command of Captain Barry, put into Basse Terre under a flag of truce for the purpose of exchanging prisoners um mtjl ol iuo vpanisb of the present day, treachercusly fired upon her Berry thereupon took a sail around the harbor and left the batteries and surroundings in much the same shap that Dewey did those at Manila. In the meantime Trnxtnn's fleet, with the Constellation as flagship, had not been idle, but had amused themselves by destroying over i'0 privateers in those waters. During that period England claimed the right to impress seamen off the vessels of other nations, and her naval officers were usually very arrogant in their demands in this connection. This practice led to the boarding, while off Cape Nicholas Mole, of the 24-gun ship Gauges, c -mmanded by Captain Tingey, by a boat from the British cruiser surprise, and a demand for all seamen on board who did not have American "protection" papers Tingey refused to allow a search of his ship and sent the Biitish captain word that: ' A public ship carries no pro tection tor ner mem dui ner nag. l c o not expect to succeed in the acticn with you, but I will die at my quarters before I wi;l give up a man." The crew was then called to quarters acd the guns manned, the band playing 'Yankee Doodle." It was off St. Kitts, and about fif teen miles northeast of the island of Nevis, that in February, 1799, Captain Truxton in the Constellation whipped and took as a prize the French frigate Insurgent, 36 guns, after a brisk action of one hour and fourteen minutes.

for his great cruise in the Essex, foucrht in this eneairement as a mid

shipman and distinguished himself for his nerve mad cool judgment. The Constellation ' lost five killed and wounded oat of a crew of 309, while the Frenchman had 70 killed and wounded out of his crew of 409. Here was clearly apparent, as in all other engagements, the superior gunnery of the Yankee, as every one of the enemy's heavier guns was dismounted by the well directed fire of the Constellation. Lieutenant Rogers and Midshipman Porter were put on board the Insurgent with a prize crew of 11 men to superintend the removal of the prisoners, but before this had been effected a gale came up and separated the ships. and when daylight came the following morning those on board the prize could see no trace of the Constellation. This left the young officers in an exceedingly dangerous condition, with a badly damaged ship and only 11 men to sail her and guard 173 prisoners yet left on board. The dead and dying lay all over the decks which were slip pery with blood, the hatchway gratings had been lost, and there were no means of ironing the prisoners. But the young Americans, as usual, were equal to the emergency. Rogers was a man of great strength and courage, and with the hearty assistance of Porter and the eleven seamen they forced the prisoners below, loaded a gun with grape and canister and pointed it down the batch, over which they hung a bag filed with heavy shot which could be cut down at a moment's notice, and kept two or three men with loaded pistols and pikes and battle-axes con stantly on watch, and after three days and nights of storm they finally got into St. Kitts with their prize. In 1799 Bainbridge. having been released from imprisonment in Guadeloupe, was given command of the 18gun brig Norfolk, one of the vessels saved by his trick when captured by the Insurgent the year betore, and he did lively work among the islands, cleaning out the Picaroons who had been hiding among the numerous keys in shallow water in their boats attacking merchantmen and small war vessels. He also captured a French privateer and her prize loaded with coffee, which latter had just been attacked by the sea brigands and her crew killed when the Frenchman came up and drove them off. He kept up the good work there all that winter, running priyateers into Havana and blockading them theie in spite of the Spanish governor's protests, and was rewarded with a captain's commission early in 1800. Late in 1799 the Congress and the Essex cruied in West Indian waters and chased privateers into the shoals and among the rocks with that energy, daring and coolness in danger which has always been the distinguishing murk: of tha ,ft aglosus, aaila. safc .In February, 1800, about fifteen miles west of Basse Terre, oc curred the great fijjht between the Constellation and the French 40 gun frigate Vengeance, a typical old fashioned sea battle. This action did not commence until after S o'clock in the evening and continued until af .er midnight. Truxtun ordered the Constellation's gunners to fire at the enemy's hull and that only when they were certain of hitcing. The result was that after the four and one half hours of this kind of hammering the Frenchman's guns were put out of action, but as he had fired hisrher and cut up the rigging of the Constellation without damaging: her hull, she was unable to pursue, and in the darkness the Vengeance, less crippled in her rigging, sailed away with a loss of 160 men out of a crew of 330, while the Constellation lost 39 out of 310. Here was another ex ample of superior American gunnery, The Constellation carried 50 guns, fir ing a broadside of 826 pounds of shot, and a crew of 310 men, while the Vengeance carried i2 guas, firing a broadside of 1,115 pounds, with a crew of 330. The Vensrence was struck in the hull by 1S6 round shot, causing the heavy loss in killed and wounded. Captain Truxtun received a gold medal and the command of the 44 gun frigate President as a reward for this victory. The discipline and drill of the Constellation was well nigh perfect. In the early stages of the battle, while Trux in was endeavoring to get into a fav orable position, he forbade his men to fire, although many of them were fall ing in their places from the shot of the enemy, but they stood grim and silent until they got the word, and then put every shot where it wou d h ve the best effect. The traditions of the old navy are not lost, but have bet n handed down from the old wooden walls to those of iron and steel, and while ships differ, the American man or-wars-man is the same in nerve, couratre and discipline as he was one hundred years ago, and no higher compliment can be paid him. During the year 1S00 the little 12 gun schooners Enterprise and Experi ment kept things hot with the French privateers that swarmed in the shallower waters of the West Indies, tackling everything anywhere near their size. The Enterprise in a six months' cruise took eight privateers and recaptured four American ships. The Experiment had fully as lively an experience, never hesitating to attack a strange sail, even at midnight in a howling storm, under short sail, when she heeled over so much that th. j had wtimwuii tiic gnu ioiii;i-3 uu ixttj weather side so as to depress the euns ' enough to fire with effect, only to r J .!

Sabbath observance was discussed at length in the Presbyterian general assembly at Winona yesterday. Reso lutions on the subject were presented by a committee . which called forth lengthy discussion. Sunday travel by ministers was denounced. A resolu tion urging President McKinley to or der that no unnecessary Sabbath work be done by the army and navy in the present war. and that battles be not begun on Sunday, met with decided opposition and was finally laid upon the table. The whole discussion showed that there is very wide diver pence of opinion in the church as to Sabbath observanie, and that the ten dencies are toward more liberal views on that subject. A Battle.

It ix related that when but eleveu years old be rode on a trseback from his nncle, Richard Pedrick s. near Richmond, Ind , to Joseph Grtffiu's home near Spieeland, this county. to visit his father, who was building a house for Mr. Griffin. This was considered a remarkable feat for so young a lad to perform at that period and in the then existing state or the roads and country. So strong was this feeling that the landlord of the hotel at Cambridge City refused any niv for hia dinner or horse feed. A boy of that age might now far easier cross the entire state ot Indiana in a butrcv or on his wheel than he made that thirty-mUe ride then. He always remembered that visit with delight, for it was then that he firtt saw Mr. Griffin's little daughter, who was four um hia iunior. and thought her the lovlit ereatnre he had ever sten.
