C1RcUIAD RELATIVE TO SHIPPING ARTICLES.
The following circular, signed by secretary
Boutwell,. has been received at the custom
House:
The Department regards as still IN force the
provisions of the act regulating the shipment
and discharge of seamen, approved July 20,
1910 which requires-owners of vessels, in GER
tain cases, to obtain from Collectors of Gus
toms certified copies Of the Shipping Articles.
Under section ~ of an "Act to authorize tbe
appointment of shipping commissioners &c
approved June Z, 1872, the form and requisites
of such articles are prescribed.
In order to secure uniformity at the various
ports OF the United States, in the mode of pro-
curing certified copies of Shipping articles off
GERS OF the Customs are directed to REQUIRE
owners OF vessels, whose masters are, by the
last mentioned act, obliged to procure articles
from shipping commissioner, to obtain the
certificate of the Collector of Customs to the
duplicate copy of such articles furnished to the
master in any case by the commissioner: and
they will notify such owners and masters of the
liabilities that may be incurred by failure to
produce to Consuls of the United States in for
elgn countries copy Of the articles of agree
ment authenticated as the law directs, inform
ing them OF the penalty denouced in the nine
zenith clause of the act of 1910, above cited,
namely, fine of one hundred dollars and con-
voyage without articles certified by Collector;
and of the penalty of two hundred dollars, pre-
scribed in section IA of the act OF June Z, 1872,
for every person carried to sea, as one of the
crew, without articles of agreement certified by
the shipping commissioner.

A Democratic Dodge.

It has just come to light that a few Demo-
cratic wire-pullers are busying themselves
with scheme to put a third candidate in the
field for Mayor. These parties are party men
and have no purpose to vote for any other
- than the regular candida es, as they always
have. It is their design to approach Repub-
licans protesting that they want a third can
didate who shall be a Republican, and who, if
nominated, they expect will take enough
votes from Mr.. Wescott to deprive him of a
majority, and possibly to carry the matter in
to the City Council, where they vainly hope
to have majority.
1t is not necessary to say that this is an old
device of the enemy, and will surely fail as
such devices have failed in the past.
Mr.. Wescott is a thoroughly wide-awake
man, whohas to remarkable degree the con-
hdence of all men who have had business re-
lations with him. He is not the candidate OF
any Clique or ring. He has not obtained his
NOMINATION. at the cost of pledges. He has
demonstrated his ability in other official posi-
tlohs, ana the Republicans of the city will
heartiiy support and elect him.
We frankly add that Mr. CIaavas the
Democratic candidate, is gentleman of in
tegrity and ability whom it would bo un;ust
to disparage, and whom every Democrat will
probably support, so that there is no No., c.
third candidate. ''i
This trick of the enemy is too transnarer+
to deceive any thorough Republican. and if
really attempted it will only result in ridicule
to the gentlemen who may be so deluded as
to attempt it.
