All went well until 1920 on tho 18TH
Greenwich time). when the hrst real
shock was given to the success that hss
hitherto attended us, and this time we mad
real cause to be alarmed. A foul make
took place in the a~fter-tank. Inc engine
was Immediately turned astern, and the
paying of the cable stopped. We were
ali soon on the decks, and learned that the
running and paying out OF the coll had
caught three turns of the flake immediate
" under it, carried them into the eye OF
the coil, fouling the toy-out and hauling
up one-half turns from the outside, and
FIVE turns of the eye of the under hakes-
This was stopped, fortunately before en-
tering the paying-out machines; shoppers
of hemp with chains were also put on
near the wheel astern, and Mr.. Canning
gave orders to stand by to let go the
buoy. This was not very cheering TO
hear but, though the calm and collected
man gave us confidence that his skill and
experience would extricate the cable from
the danger in which it was placed, no
fishing line was ever tangled more than
the rope when thrust up in apparently
hopeless danger from the eye OF the cable
TO the deck. There were at least 1,OOO
| feet of rope lying in this state, and IN the
midst of the rain and increased wind ne
| cable crew set to work TO. disentangle It,
The Dolphin was there, too, patiently
following the lights as they showed them
selves, the crew now passing them for
ward and now aft, until at last the char
acter of the tangle was seen, and soon 1t
became apparent that ere long the cable
would be saved and uninjured down TO
the tank. Capt. Anderson was at the
tanrail, anxiously watching the strain on
the rope I'VE could scarcely make it ont
/ the night was so dark, e~ndesvoring to
keep it up and down, going on raising
with paddle and screw.
When one reflects for a moment upon
| The rise of the ship, and the enormous
mass she presented to the wind, the diti-
Guilty of keeping her stern, under the cir
c~umstances, over the cable can be appre-
hended. The port paddla-wheel was dis
connected, but afterward there was a shift
Of wind, and the vessel came to the wrong
way. Welcome voices were now heard
passing the word aft from the tank that
the bights were cleared, and TO pay out.
Then the huge shoppers were quietly
opened, and at 2:05 A. N, to the JOY OF
all. we were once more discharging the
cable. They veered it away in the tank
to clear the screw, and the paddle-engines
were slowed so as TO reduce the speed OF
the ship to foue and a half knots. During
all this critical time there was entire alb
sence of noise and confusion.
Everything was silently done, and the
oobIa mon and crew. worked with hearty
good will. Mr.. Canning has had ex-
perienced foul flakes before, and showed
that he knew what to do in the emergen-
cy but what of the electrical condition
Of the cable during this period? Simply
that through its entire length it is perfect

In the Canadian Parliament a few
night ago, a proposition to appropriate
$4,000 to be placed at the disposal of
the Government for secret service was de-
bated. and one of the members thus ex-
pressed his opinion as tc the proper use of
the money:
Nh Rymall thought we might rely for
information on the native Canadian resi-
dents in the United States. We had
friends wherever the Fenian organization
extended, and the men who were ready
to come back to peril life and limb in de-
Tense of their country, would be likely to
give US more correct information than
men who would pretend to betray their
sworn associates in wiekedness. But he
would suggest another idea for the expen-
diturs of this 100000. He would add
that lie looked on these Fenians as half
hum;n hyenas, who should be hunted
down without mercy; and, if the Govern
ment would offer our citizen soldiery a
bounty of five dollars for every scalp Of a
Fenian brought in, 800, 600 would be suf-
deient to eYterminate 10000 Fenians,
ard alter that there would be nc more oe-
casion for secret service money. [Cheers
and laughter.
The SppropristlOn was carried.

The Massacre and the Philadelphia

The effect of the New Orleaas horror
upon the Philadelphia Convention, which
meets in a fortnight for the purpose of
restoring rebels to power, is already felt.
Three of the Louisiana delegation TO that
convention, Major General Heron, John
Ray and John E. King, have resigned
their positions. General Herron's letter
is as follows:
NEw ORLEANS, July 81.
Colonel II. D. Ogden, Chairman Democratic
Central Committee
DEAR SIR: After the scenes OF yesterday,
which l witnessed, I must respectfully de-
cline acting as e member Of the delegation
appointed by your committee to attend the
Philadelphia Convention. I believe the
fate of the State to be settled by yesterdays
action, and any attempt to help matters
just now would. in my opinion, be useless.
Respectfully, F. J. HERRoS.

The Cleveland Leader, after further re-
Election, seems DESTROYS 70 relieve its party
in Congress frcm the odium Of adding 60
per cent. to the pay of its members. We
had supposed that the Radical Legislature
of the past session, had shown with lament
able clearness that the Democratic minori-
ty in that body wa 50 small as to be practi-
cslly powerless' But because sirteca Dem
ocrsts voted with the Republican party on
the pay question, the Leader seeks to take
from its party the responsibility srising from
the passage of the law in u body in which
the Republicans have moro than three times
as many members as its opponents. The
absurdity o! such an Effort is conspicuous.
Plain Dealer.
The Plain Dealer seems determined not
TO deserve our praise for "frankness." The
bill for equalizing bounties and increas-
ing the pay Of members was not a party
measure andthe Plain Dealer knows it.
But a majority of the Republicans in the
House voted against it, and a majority
of two to one of the Democrats
voted for it Under these circumstances
We leave it to any candid reader to deter
mine how much the Republican parry, as
a party, is responsible for it. The follow
ing is an analysis of the vote:

The Cleveland Plain Dealer has the I'M

the New Orleans massacre which stirs
ones blood to fever with the horrors 1t

that frightfal record an editorial article
