somewhat dilatory in : signalling. The

was sighted. The Celtic asked 10 'be re-

offered to tow the Celtic, but the ofTsr was
declined. When it was learned that the
Argosy could take only four passengers
there was great excitement among the bus

valuable. Lots were drawn for the Gov

Arthur Is very smooth man. In fact smocthness is one of the greatest evidences of lack of force. Webster was not smooth man: Lincoln was uneven. Ne one can dispute Blaine's intellectually.
