A despatch from Philadelphia on Thursday stated in connection with the death notice of William Durst ot that city that he is believed to have been the last survivor of the mem- bers of the crew of the Monitor !n the historic battle with the Merrimac in Hampton Roads. Durst, however, was not the last survivor. Thomas Taylor, colored, ot this city was on the Monitor durin; the fight that revolutionized nav: construction ‘and naval warfare. A few days before the action Taylor, then a boy, escaped from slavery in Virginia and made his way to Fort- ress Monroe. There on the night before the battle he was invited by an officer of the Monitor to be his valet and he accepted, going aboard the vessel. 7 ‘What happened during the time the vessels pounded each other in the fi mous fight is still clear in Mr. Tay- lor's mind. He even quotes some of the commands he heard given by the Monritor's ofilcers. During the fight Mr. Taylor was engaged for a time in passing powder. Another vivid recollection of Mr. Taylor's is his experience of being an evewitness of the blowing up of the Merrimac. Jessamine Chapter’s Officers.

Climax of Operations. ‘This operation began on Au 6th, The climax was reached at daybreak on the 10th, when the Turks made a grand attack from the summit of Chunnuk Bair Hill, upon a short front held by two battalions of the Sixth North Lancashire and the Fifth Wilt- shire regiments which General Hamil- ton describes as weakened In num- bers, though not in spirit. z “First our men were shelled by every enemy gun,” he says, “then assaulted by a huge column consisting of no less than a division plus three bat- talions. The North Lancashire men were simply overwhelmed in their shallow trenches by sheer weight of numbers, while the Wiltshires, who ‘were ca t out in the open, were literally almost annihilated. Ponderous Mass of Enemy. “The ponderous mass of the enemy swept over the crest and swarmed round the Hampshires and ,General Baldwin’s brigade, which had to give ground, and were only extricated with great difficulty and very heavy losses. “Now it was our turn. The warships and the New Zealand and Australian artillery, Indian mountain _artillery brigade and the 69th brigade, Royal Field artillery, were getting the chance of a lifetime. As successive solid lines of Turks topped the crest of the, ridge, gaps were torn through_ their forma- tion and an iron rain fell 6n them as they tried to re-form in the gullies. Turks Paid Dearly for Recapture. “Not here only did the Turks pay dearly for their recapture of the vital crest. Enemy reinforcements continued to move up under a heavy and accur- ate fire from our guns. Still they kept topping the ridges and pouring down the ‘western slopes of Chunnuk Bair as if determined to gain everything they had lost. But once they were over the crest they became exposed not only to the full blast of the guns, naval and military, but a battery of ten New Zealand machine guns, which played upon their serried ranks at close range until their barrels were red hot. “Enormous losses were inflicted and of the swarms which had once fairly crossed the crest line only a handful ever straggled back to their own side of Chunnk Bair. Climax of Deadly Conflict. “At the same time, strong forces of the enemy were hurled against the spurs to the northeast, where there arose a conflict so deadiy that it ma: be considered the climax of four day: fighting for the ridge. Portions of our line were plerced and the troops were driven clean down the hill. At the foot of the hill the men who were su- pervising the transport of food and water were rallled by Staff Captain Street. Unhesitatingly, they followed him back, where they lunged again into the midst of that series of strug- gles, in which generals fought in the ranks and men dropped their scien- tific weapons and caught one another by the throat. Many Deeds of Daring. ‘“The Turks came on again and again. Fighting magnificently and calling upon the name of God, our men stood to it and maintained by many a deed of daring the old tradi- tions of their race. There wa$ no flinching; they died in the ranks where they stood. ~Here Generals Cayley, Baldwin and Cooper and ail their gai- lant men achieved great glory. On this bloody fleld fell Brigadler General Baldwin, who earned his first laurels on Caesar's ag B at Ladysmith, There, too, fell igadier General Cooper, badly wounded. No Live Turks Left. “Toward this supreme struggle the absolute last two battalions from the general reserve were now hurried, but by 10 in the morning the effort of the enemy was spent. Soon their shatter- ed remnants began to trickle Brbe Cop e aell n , except for or wounded, no lfve Turk was left on our side of the slope.” hyl Two lesser attacks were made the Turks the same day.

R v 1y, the offices of president of the boara of education, entary under- secretary for home affairs and lord commissioner of the treasury, and thelr resignations were announced dur- ing the evening.

More than 1,000 delegates were present, « representing four hundred uni and three miilion worker: formal vote In addition to the against the government’s compulsion bill, the congress rejected by four to one a motion pledging support of the people of the compulsion act for single men, and passed, by two to.one, an- cther motion directing the labor party to oppose the bill in all its stages in the house of commons. The congress closed with an enthu- slastic scene, the feature of which was the singing of the soclalist an- them, “The Red Flag,” by some of the delegates. NUMEROUS BEQUESTS OF A HERMIT FARMER.

Orr, the governor's secretary, probably would Be named as Riley’s successor until the governor could appoint a per- manent superintendent.
