Looks Like War Again.
New York, Nov. 15.—A Wash
ington special to The Herald
says:
Instructions have been given by
Secretary Long to the officials of
the navy yard at Brooklyn pro
hibiting them from commencing
any new work on the ar morel ads
in North Atlantic waters. Re
pairs on them completed, it is ex
pected that within ten days Com
modore Philrp will have under
his command an effective force
consisting of all the battleships
and armorer cruisers now in com
mission except the Iowa and Ore
gon which are now at Rio Jan-
eior. These vessels will be kept
along the Brazilian coast for an
other ten days at least, and by
that time the authorities say that
the policy of Spain with respect
to the negotiations will have
finally developed.
The armored cruisers New Y"ork
and Brooklyn are in splendid con
dition; the battleship Massachus
etts will have completed her re
pairs during the present week and
all construction w^rk on the In
diana will also be completed with
in that time. So far as the Texas
is concerned naval officers say
that a short time only will be nec
essary to repair her propeller
sleeve.
Just as soon as all of the arm
or clads are ready they will proceed
to Hampton Roads, where they
will find the New York awaiting
them. Here the vessels will re
main pending such action as may
be necessary as a result of infor
mation received from Paris.
Up-to-Date.
A little six-year old girl in Sun
day school was asked one morning
recently what she remembered of
the story of Sampson and the
Philistines,whereupon she prompt
ly replied: “He sailed into the
bay in the night and at daylight
opened fire on them and sunk
eleven of their warships with the
jaw bone of an ass. He then took
some prisoners that had never
seen a razor, bombarded the town,
and then took up five baskets of
fragments. He then told them
that he would set his bow on the
bay, so that whenever they saw it
they could remember the Maine.

Copper V«m]»«r«d by Mo and Builder*.
Ed A. SdWoth has received from a
friend to Savannah, Ills., a long ancl
small speapfcead, a small knife, an awl
and a needle taken from one of the pre
historic imftnudn near that city. The tools
are all of tempered copper, and when
suspended ky a thread ring like steel.
They have been hammered out and tem
pered, and after having been buried in
a mound lor no one knows how' long
still retain their temper. The mound
builders, who had disappeared from the
face of the earth before Columbus dis
covered this country, knew how to tem
per copper, an art which no man on
earth has now’, although many have en
deavored for years to discover the proc
ess. Such specimens are found m bus
few of the mounds opened, the imple
ments found being generally of stone.
Mr. Schlqth has a fine collection of rel
ics of mound builders and of the aborig
ines of tins ocftst and values these tem
pered copper articles above them all.

& trance as it may seem, the Wyo
ming’s oriental battle is an almost un
recorded chapter of our naval annals,
though it ranks even higher in point of
daring and success against overwhelm
ing odds than the defeat of the Ala
bama by the Wyoming’s sister ship, the
Kearsarge. But the Wyoming never
was in very great luck as a naval star.
She had her part’ throughout the civil
war in all the hardest of blockading and
cruising service, and fought well when
ever she had the chance, but she did
not have the luck of getting into the
papers. She was sent off at the same
time as the Kearsarge to cruise for that
scourge of the seas, the Alabama, and
just missed her by the merest chance
on two occasions in the China seas.
It was in 1863, toward the end of the
dual reign cf the tycoon and the mika
do, when Japan was in the throes of
civil war, and the forces of the rebel
princes were resisting to the last the
passing of the old feudal system. The
Prince of Nagato was one of these, and
from his tiny kingdom that fronted on
the straits of Simonoseki he declare!
himself lord paramount of everything in
sight, including the neighboring seas,
from which he took generous toll as did
ever the pirate chiefs of Tarifa. He
had laid violent hands and hot shot
upon the vessels of various powers, in
cluding Great Britain, France, the
Netherlands and the United States.
Meantime Prince Nagato throve and
flourished by the strait of Simonoseki.
and failing one day to wiring tribute ox
blackmail by any other means he fired
on the American merchantman Pem
broke and killed a couple of her crew.
There w T as another diplomatic protest of
i;he combined foreign representatives to
the Japanese government, and Com
mander McDugall, who happened to be
in port with the Wyoming, suggested
that if the mikado could not take a fall
out of his rebellious subject tjie Wyo
ming .could and would without much
urging. This struck the government as
a good thing and an easy way out of the
international difficulty, so McDugall
was given carte blanche to settle ac
counts with the Prince of Nagato in be
half of all the powers concerned, and
le forthwith sailed away.
It was the middle of July when the
Wyoming found herself in the strait
of Simonoseki and in sight of the shore
batteries which were a part of the
prince’s defenses to seaward. Before
she had time to open on the bafcterie i
two Japanese gunboats loomed up, one
ahead and one astern, in the narrow
strait, and presently a third came cruis
ing out from among the neighboring is
lands. It was a nasty place for a fight,
McDugall being without charts or pi
lots, and the odds were more than
enough for Nelson himself, being 48
guns of the three Japanese vessels to the
26 of the old Wyoming, to say nothing
of the batteries on shore. There was
still a chance to run, barring some dan
ger of grounding in the narrow channels
among the islands, but the idea does not
seem to have occurred to any one aboard
the frigate.
Working to windward of the nearest
Japanese, the Wyoming opened at long
range and worked down on her till,
when close aboard, there was nothing of
the enemy left standing above decks.
The other two vessels had come up ic
the meantime and engaged the Ameri
can on either side, but she lay to and
gave them shot for shot, port and star
board, till her gunners were smoke
blind and the flame of the guns no lon
ger served to light the battlecloud that
rolled in white billows over the smooth
waters of the strait. It was desperate
work in the shallow water, but the
Wyoming was the best vessel, and she
outmaneuvered her two opponents from
start to finish, though twice aground
and once afire, with as many men knock
ed out from splinters and heat as from
the enemy’s shot.
Fighting themselves out of one
smoke patch into another, the three com
batants circled around like two crows
and a kingbird till they had drifted
down in range of the shore batteries,
which gayly took a hand in the game.
But McDngall ran across the bows of
one of his enemies, raked her as he
went and left her a floating wreck, ancl
thp.n turned his attention to the bat
teries. The Wyoming’s men rigged the
smith’s forge on deck and tossed hot
shot into the works ashore till they set
them afire and the soldiers fied, and the.
other Japs on the remaining cruiser, de
ciding enough was as good as a feast,
followed their example.
So McDugall mended his rigging and
patched his bulwarks, and meanwhile
sent word to the recalcitrant prince to
come down and settle or he would sail
inland and shell the royal palace about
its royal owner’s ears. \
The prince, who was no less discreet
than Colonel Crockett’s .coon, came
down promptly, and of the resulting in
demnity $800,000 fell to the, lot of the
United States. It was many years be

Irregularity lays the foundation of
many diseases, and is in itself a symp
tom of disease. It is of the greatest
importance that regularity be accom

flow is an established fact.
