ADMIRAL HIGGINSON DEFENDS THE COAST The Wonderful . System of Signals Works to Perfection The Destroy er Decatur Pursues a Strange Ves sel Bagley Overhauls the Brook lynPosition of the Boats. By I'.xclmhe Wire from The Associated Press. Rockport, Muss,, Aug. 21. At mid night 36 hours had passed of the possi ble 120 for the naval conflict between the attacking squadron, In charge of Commander Plllsbury and the defend ing squadron, commanded by Hear Ad jnlral Hlgglnson. The coming of an other day was lecorded but the antici pated meeting between the hostile lleets had not come to pass. After a day which had been on the whole de void of many sensations, the night, thick and cloudy as It was with the moon quite obscured, developed so many confusing situations and so many extraordinary reports that the Hlggln son .squadron had just cause for grave uneasiness. So the feeling grew that it would not be such a difficult attainment after all for the three auxiliary cruis ers of the white squadron to slip in and anchor at some harbor, protected as they would bo by the inviting dark nets which prevailed. Perhaps the great danger which came to Admiral Hlgglnson was that of yielding to the temptation to withdraw the Keat surge and leave only the Alabama and Mus bachusetts to go In search of the enemy leported on appaiently reliable author-' Ity to have been sighted at either this point or that point along the coast. Such rcpoits were in fact, made. In the early part of the. night the station on-1,hc isle o'f. Shoals notified the near est mainland point by the use of torches and the secret code of the navy that a large, strange, two-masted qraft had been sighted "outside the shoals. Ad miral) Hlgglnson's wonderful system of nlgnals worked to perfection. Almost In a moment, it scem:d, the destroypi Decatur was ordered from Portsmin h to pursue the mysterious comer and in another moment, the Decatur, with the smoke belching from her four great stacks was ploughing furiously through the heavy seas. The stranger turned and lied at full speed and this fact led to the decision that she may have been one of the attacking lleet passing in ward on scout duty. At a later hour the Decatur had made no report. The Brooklyn Appears. At 11 o'clock came another report of point light, Glouster. Admiral Higgln fcon at once ordered the torpedo boat Bagley to investigate, but the Bagley found to her surprise that It was the cruiser Brooklyn, which had come down from her northern station pursuant to the privilege extended by Admiral Hlgglnson. The reason that the ad miral steadfastly refused to leave Ills unchorage In the harbor here was that he dared not leave Rockport exposed to the enemy, which by taking ad vantage of needless passage of the de fending battleships to another port, " might easily creep In and drop anchor at the very heart of the operations ot the blue squadron. It was these con siderations that forced Admiral Hlg glnson to the conclusion that on none but the surest authority would he leave the Rockport station to join other members of his squadron In the work of putting the enemy out of action. The complications which developed today in the shape of undoubted news was that Commander Plllsbury had secretly landed some of his officers ashore to spy upon the movements of the- blue squadron served only to in crease the perplexity of Admiral Hlg glnson's position and this reported Bljore system of spying was one of the things, which led the admiral to es tablish the new Signal station off Straits Mouth Point and also to re move his ships as he did early In the evening to a point just inside Thatcher's Island. In the early morning the posi tion of these boats had not changed. The Kearsarge held the outside berth and the Massachusetts was innermost, (JIVES A 815,000 LUNCHEON.

UNCLE RUSSELL SAGE'S OPINION OP TRUSTS Believes They Are a Menace to True Government and Are the Oppres sors of the People. By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press. New York, Aug. 21.

Plerpont Morgan as saying that the era of great trusts had just begun, and that more gigantic corporations are stored in the near future, some of which may over shadow the steel trust. Mr. Sage said: "Whether Mr. Morgan said that or not, combinations of all Industries are a menace to true government. Not only so, but they are the oppressors of the ceoDle." "What will be the result ot such an era?" asked a reporter. "In such an event the American peo ple will revolt against them and there will be flnnnclal ruin, the like or wmen this country has never seen or any other." It was suggested to Mr. Sago that there was a general opinion that com binations at certain times were good things for the country. "Yes," Mr. Sage replied, "when sev eral industries are starting out in business It Is well for Individuals to combine for mutual protection until the business Is firmly established. When the business Is so established, the combination should be disrupted and conducted on Individual lines. Then if one individual became embarrassed it would not mean the wrecking of tho Industry, 1 belleye it Is best to have such Industries divided nmong several Individuals than combined Into one great combine, the embarrassment of which would mean the ruin of all."

Washington, Aug. 21.

The aripolntees, after passing their examination, were commissioned by numbers nnd took rank according to their standing at the examinations. In thus ranking these fleers, the nnvy department followed tile law nnd prac tice In tho case of cadets graduating from Annapolis, who rank according to standing. Recently one of the marine ofllcers, Lieutenant Arthur J. O'Lcnry, ques tioned the action of the department In view of section 1209 of tho revised statutes, which provides that ofllcers ot the same grade, when appointed and commissioned on the same date, shall take rank according to previous ser vice. Lieutenant O'Leary, himself, like most of the other marine ofllcers ap pointed from 'civil life, had seen ser vice as u volunteer during the Spanish war, and he clnlmed the benefit of the statute. The department, upon the rec ommendation of Acting Judge Advo cate General Hnnna, has sustained his contention. This ruling will Involve a re-adjustment of the rank of all ma rine officers appointed from civil life since the Spanish war. Murder at Gloucester. By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.

HILL TO THE FARMERS He Addresses a Crowd 8,000 at Oak Orch ard Picnic. of By Exclusiic Wire from The Associated Press. Albion, N. Y., Aug. 21 Foremr Gov ernor David B. Hill spoke to a crowd of 8,000 persons at the Orleans County Pioneer picnic at Oak Orchard today. The speech was a general one, Mr. Hill saying he thought it poor taste to In ject politics at such a time. Addressing himself to farmers, he referred lo their courage und sturdy Independence In admiring terrns an. said the JBper farmers had lnvoke'dthe admlra'tion'of the world. "I wish to God," he said, "that the Dutch farmers had won." The speaker thought that farmers as a rule tried to work too much land, and he told of a man who gave thiee daughters 150 of his 200 acres, and then did as well with the remaining fifty by Improved cul ture. He made a distinction between a farmer and an agriculturist, saying the former worked a farm for Income, while the agriculturist spends his In come to work his farm. "I am an agriculturist," he said. Continuing Mr. Hill declared himself In favor of holidays, especially when farmers put aside toll and come to gether for recreation. He said he,found nothing In the bible in regard to ac cumulation of corporate wealth, and believed that the only right means of accumulation was by personal endeavor. Posterity owes much to the pioneers who have been leaders of all walks and conditions of life, he said. He was not In sympathy with the demand for cheap things: .nothing should be so cheap as to deny proper remuneration to the labor which produces It. H respected public opinion when It was right, but held It in contempt when wrong. Women, he said, can do some things better than men, which he re garded as a great admission for an old bachelor. Speaking to young men he declared that three most valuable traits were sincerity, frapkness and prudence. Do not rely for success on Influence, but rely on yourself and your own ability and go It alone, was the speaker's advice. Instead of looking to the labor which produces It. He must realize that he Is the- urchltect of his 'own fortune. Bird S, Coler, who accompanied Mr. Hill, spoke briefly. CRESCEUS BREAKS RECORDS. He Seems to Have Power to Reach the Two Minute Mark.
