The famous sea. battle of Oct. 21, 1803, Will remain forever as one of th.e greatest factor in creating England's now universalty .cepted title of "Queen of the Seas." The battle happened at a moment :when England was threatened by an invasion, end. as bait never been but once before—at the time .of the Spanish Armada, Although the victory was per- : bap not ns decisive as the earner one, the stakes involved were much larger, At the tine of Drake a foreign invesion could not have created an immense an. aunt of damage. If at the beginning ot last century Napoleon had secured eon- . trol of the island it would have meant' the :downfall of British commerce, which had grown to surprising proportions within the past decede. Nelson's vigilance and final triumph practically stayel. the onward, `Mara of Napoleon to such 11 degree that the contemplated invasion of England had to he postponed indefinitely, The (E- rection of France's attention was turn, ed to Austria, and in December of the 'same year he succeeded in -defeat- ing the Austrians and Russians, which fate, only for Nelson's genius, might have befallen England, The .allied and the English fleets were searching or each other in the Medi- erranean lehen a strategic anove plan- ned by Napoleon sent the French - Spanish fleet on a trip across to the West Indies. Nelson followed in the hope of bringing them to action. Tbis he faired, to do, missing them only by a few hours at one point. On returning Nelson with his fleet of thirty-one ships found the enemy at ,Cadiz and finally sighted them off Cape Trafalgar at day- break of Oct. 21. Plans of the attack had already been disoussed antt every- thing, was in preparation for the en- counteF. Engaged the Allied Fleet, The wind was -exceedingly light, and ib was nearly eleven o'clock before a full view of the allied fleet at a dis- tance of about two miles coulhl be ob- tained. It was then lying in the shape of a erescent, the forty warships form- ing an imposing spectacle. Into the aemningly unequal light Nelson sent his fleet, divided in two columns. Eight - resets were held in reserve. His plan was to engage half of the allied fleet at e, time and crush them in this man- ner, It was carried out to perfeetion. The Royal Sovereign was the first of the British ships to come into range with the enemy. 'Under a gruelling fire lasting over twenty minutes she withheld her fire until she passed under the sterns 4, of the flagship of the Spanish Vice -Ad - =fret and the Fougueux. Than she let her broadside go and practically swept the deeks of the ships with the mus- ket balls with which. her cannon were loaded. Then she engaged the flagship broadside to broadside at a distance of only it few yards. In this position the British war vessel was exposed to the fire of four Spanish ships. But as the engagement became general all along the line it was noticed the firing of the .at - lied gunners was not as good as was ex- pected. Consequently tbe loss was smaller. The Belleisle diverted the at- tention of the four ships engaged. in :bat- tering the Sovereign, and in doing so was s,...tres crippled herself. She lost 120 men and became helpless; on account of losing her masts. Nelson in the Vietory was in ;the meantime looking for bigger couqueste. He wanted to match his ship with that of Viee-Admiral Vilteneuve, in command of the allies, In his search lte passed under the fire of a number of ships, not deigning to reply to them until he passed the Santissima 'Trinidad, the largest vessel then afloat. By one di- rect broadside the Vietory praetieftlly cleared her decks. The same was done to the: Bucentaure, over whith Vilte- neitve's flag was flying. In attempting to round -up and come into touch with her, the Vietory fouled the Redoubtable and they were forced to engage. The fire from the Victory'a guns drove the Frenchmen from their guns on the lower deck, but up :thrive the Englishmen were getting the worst of it. Owing to a, fear of -fire, Nelson. had, refused to place men in his tops. Not so with the captain of the Redoubt. - able. His were filled Ivith musketeers, and they swept the decks of the Vic- tory.. The. Death of Nelson. About 1.20, or about an hour lifter the fight became general, it bullet from the Reiloubtablea mizzen -top strnek Neleon in the shoulder, passing down thratigh his lungs and his spine, lodging in the muscles of his back. Ile knew his hour had come, but was earried into the cock- pit by Captain Hardy, where he, passed away about three hours later, not, how- ever, until victory Was assured. It Is not known who fired the fatal shot, for no person ensile out of the Redoubtable's tnizzen-top alive. Within a short time after Nelson's injury she struck her flag. A detailed description of the move- ments of each vessel cannot be secured. The smoke und confusion was so great that the various reports are confused and contradictory. .One thing, however, is eevtain, and that is, onee. the engage- ment became hot the dottble formation was discontinued! As Nelson was xtal- eulating upon the ships in the van of theaflicd line did not attempt to help the rest of their fleet until hte fight was, praeticiilly over. Then Vice -Admiral Dun- i:miss who had ten vessels under his emumand, :decided that as he had .lost five out of his complement it Would be wiser to Make good his escape. Only foor, heweVer, suet:ceded in doing 50. The Neptune, the fifth, had the dis- thietion Of beteg the Wit to fall into the poseasion of lite British fleet.

The IWAVA of Nelson's vietory reached the people of _England before they beard of his death. The abandon of delight with which the news was received was checked, by the publication of the ne- count of the bettle in The Gazette, con - tabling particulars of Nelson's death. The joy of the nation was immediately converted to sorrow. General grief was .expressed, and when Nelson's body ar- tired about a month later, and the body lay in state, countless thousands viewed it. The burial took place on Jun. 9, in St. Paul's Cathedral, London, after one of the most impressive cere- monies ever witnessed, The mourning of the sailors of the British fleet con- tinues to the present day. Their sym- hot of sorrow is the large Mack hand. kerchief tied under their collars in it bow in front. The three lines of braid around their collars designate Nel- son's three great victories, at the Nile, Copenhagen and Trafalgar. Nel- son's first great victory, however, was at St. Vincent, where his prompt action prevented the escape of the Spanish fleet and rectified an error made by one of the other admirals. Another Account Says, With a light wind it took about six hours to close with the enemy. AL 11 o'clock Nelson retired to his cabin, and on his knes made the last entry In his diary: "May the Great God, whom I worship, grant to my country and for the benefit of Europe in gen- ere!, it great and glorious victory; and may no misconduct in anyone tar- nish it; and may humanity after vic- tory be the predominant feature in the British fleet. For myself, individually, I commit my life to Him who made me, and may his blessing light upon my endeavors for serving my country faithfully. To Him I resign myself and the just cause which is entrusted to me to defend. Amen, amen, amen." Then, with Hardy, he went on deck, gave to Admiral Pasco an order to signal to the fleet the words: "Eng- land confides that everyman will do Itis duty." Pasco suggested to change "confides" to "expects," as the lat- ter word was in the signal vocabulary, and could be made quicker. Nelson agreed to this, and after the signal had been flown and answered by a few ships in the van, Nelson gave or- ders to fly the signal for "Close ac- tion." This was done and the signal remained at the masthead until it was shot away. The First Clash. A few minutes after noon the lee line under Collingwood in the Royal Sovereign, closely followed by the Belleiskt, broke the enemy's line astern of the Spanish three -decker Santa, Ana, under Viee-Admiral de Alva, into which the Royal Sover- eign poured it heavy` double-shotted boardside and quickly came into the wind on her starboard side. The two vessels engaged at close quarters, and the general engagement was soon in full blast. The balance of Coiling - wood's line broke through the enemy's line in many places further to the south. ' Netlson during this time had com- menced the feint on the van, and con- vinced Rear -Admiral Dumanoir le Pelley that his feint was a, real at- tack. The later therefore remained itt the van, making no effort to support the rear. Seeing this Nelson bore away, and shortly before 1 o'clock passed as- tern of the Bucentaure, Villeneuves flagship, raking her at the same time with telling effect. it was intended to bring the Victory into the wind just as. in the ease of the Royal Sovereign, and attack the Bucentaure at close quarters, but the Victory fouled the French 74 -gun ship, Redoubtable, her yardarm catching in the Redoubtable's rigging. The Victory's starboard gluts smashed into the Redoubtable's side and her port guns continued to fire on the Bueentaure. The Neptune and the Con- queror, then coming up, forced the Bu- centaure to strike her flag, but the Vio. tory and the Redoubtable were enact- ed in a death struggle side by side. Trio Victory's heavy guns in the lower (leeks silenced the Redoubtable's fire below, but the musketry and coehorns of the Redoubtable's tops cleared the Victory's upper deck. NelSon's Fatal Wound. It was about 20 minutes past 1 when it musket shot from the Redoubtable's miezentop struck Nelson on the left shouldev and he fell forward on his face. The bollet had pierced his chest. Hardy stooped to raise him, saying be hoped the wound was not severe, but Nelson replied; "They have done for net at last, Hardy; my backbone is shot through." He was hurriedly taken below, where the quickly sank, and passed away at about half -past four. After enquiring anxiously and fre- quently about the progress of the en- _ gagement, and learning of its suecess, he (*aye an order to anchor the fleet, and n his last words, pronouneed very distinctly, were: "Thank God, 1 have done my duty." The Fighting Temeraire. While the scene of death was going on in it midshipman's berth below, the fire of the Redoubtable on the upper dock was very deadly, and the Vic- tory's men wero called up, and some 40 were shot down by the musketry fire. The French were warming over bet deck, when the Tomeraire, passing under the Redoubtable's stern, swept away natty of her men with a. broad- side mid put her out of action. Iter flag was hauled dowri and the English took her in charge. Then the Fon- gamuts came and reeeived it broadside from her at A few yards distance. This finished her, and she fell alongside and was AISO taken possession of by the Temeraire.

Chicago, Oct, 23.—Cries of "Man over- board!" which greeted the ears of Capt. Frank Swans on the bridge of the steam- er Iroquois as she passed the inner light- house brought no response. The otearner continued on her way across the lake under full speed, and John Mellughes, it sailor, who ha(l fallen into the water while fastening a fender on the steamer's side, was left to drown. This happened on Oct. 7, and the United States steam- boat inspectors to -day suspended the Government license of Capt. Swells for six mouths. The testimony showed that the captain knew it man had fallen over- board, but as he had seen a boat put off from the lighthouse, he did not deem it necessary to stop. When the boat from shore reached the smut McHughes had sone down for the last time. "While the punishment is -pretty severe," saki In- spector Mansfield, "yet the course of Capt. Swells appeared to be inexcusable. It was certainly heartless._ It is time it stop was put to such actions, hente the penalty." COACHES WOMEN ON DIVORCE...

He has just rusted them anew by renaming his yacht, tbe Nenufar, which is to be known henceforth, or, at any rate, until his marriage, as the Reina X... .. (Queen X.) "Why dour points?" is the general query.

London, Oct. 23,—The unofficial atti- tude of Britieh naval officers attached to the Admiralty with respect to the capture and .detention of Captain Crow - titer and Lieut. Hatton by Moorish geniis is not Hindi of .an improvement on that of the genral British public. I Am informed that the Admiralty officere wird the Moorish outrage as decidedly it good joke on Crowther and itattou,and that the Admiralty offices resound from morning till night with laughter at the expense of the two captives, Lt is only a questiou of time, it is reasoned, The officers are quite safe, and will be set free sooner .or later, so what's tho sense in taking a serious view of the ease? Furthermore, I am told that Crowther and Hatton not only win have to do without the sympathy of their fellow-officere during their cap. eivity, but very likely when it is ovei they will be called upon to explain why they put themselves in a situation that was .equivalent to an invitation to the Moors to take them prisoners,. "Do you remember," 1 was asked this evening, "the case of it man run over by a tram on one of our roads a short time ago, who was arrested as soon as be could leave the liospital, on D. charge of tres- passing on the eompany's property? Weil, CroWther and Hatton are likely to get the same sort of treatment. They will be lucky if they escape severe pun- islauent for falling into the clutches- of those brigands." London, Oct. —).—The Tangier cor- respondent of The Times cables: Offi- cials here have not yet succeeded, in ob- taining any communications from the captured officers or the brigands, whose actual whereabouts is unknown. Native public opinion takes little interst in tit matter, as the Moors are now accus- tomed to the perpetration of these out- rages, without having the least fear of reprisals. They have begun to look up- on the capture of British subjects and subsequent concessions extorted front the Maghzen for their liberation as it safe and sure road to wealth and prosperity. 7 7.
