Is 1t not evident that such q course would
encourage the supporters OF the deposed
monarchy to organize revolt. and that the
resultant hostilties would afford a pretext
for the landing OF United States troops for

Two Congress Elections.

The election for Congressman-at-arge
from Pennsylvania will be held next Tues
day. and the Republicans seem TO be look
ing for something sensational in the way
Of q majority, something in the Ohio line.
As Pennsylvania lie the hearthstone Of pro-
lection. and as the Democratic OF that State
are not known tn be any better satisfied
with the bully -and-crawl policy, foreign and
domestic. that has been the style at WASH
ington for the last eleven months, It is not
unlikely that the confidence Of the Keystone
Republicans may be justified by the vote;
and fortunately Pennsylvania is State
In which the odds are so great against the
Democrats in other than State elections.
when there are Republican divisions. that
even II the waters Of af1liction should turn
out TO be uncommonly deep there this year,
habit would make the moistening seem less.
An election nearer to the quick Of the
matter will be held In the Third Ohio Con-
Rress district at time not yet announced.
The late Representative Of this district.
GEoRaR W. HoUK. had a Democratic plu-
rality Of 4 3i6 In 1892. running ahead Of Mr..
CLEVELAND by 506. In 1898 Governor Nc
KINLEY's plurality in the three counties
which compose the district, Butler. Mont
gomery. and Preble. was 6e9. 1t is inev-
liable that the Republicans should make
great efforts to carry the district at the
special election. and the Democrats will be
driven to efforts as great. This election in
the Third Ohio district will be OF high in
forest, and the result will afford material
for comparisons as to the extent OF the Re
publican reaction in Ohio. and the gain or
loas Of parties there since 1892 and 1898.

To THE EDITOR OF The sUS-Sir: Your inter-

lished this morning under the head The
Cuckoo in Congress" would give tho impress
sion that the venerable Senator Morgan Of
Alabama was the first to use that expression
in politics or apply it to clique. year ago
In the New York Senate Mr. McClelland OF
Westehester was accused on the floor OF having
applied the word as an epithet to the Admins
tration tHill-Flowerl Senators. Tue SuS gave
. full and interesting account OF II at the time.
Mr. MeClelland WAS reported as having placed
one hand on his left breast and solemnly as
severated that he had not used the expression.
Since then the term has been familiar through
out the State. especially in Westchester county.

The Kearsarge Inquiry.

The officers and crew OF the KearsarRe
have at last reached Colon in safety, while
the noble old corvette has been abandoned
to her fate on Roncador Cay.
Pending the official report on this loss
and such inquiry as Secretary HERBERT
may institute, judgment on its causes must
necessarily be suspended. Misfortunes
have not come singly 10 Rear Admiral
STANTON. whose deprivation OF command at
Rio de Janeiro was SO quickly followed by
the wreck Of his flagship under his new as
signment to duty; but he is presumably in
no way responsible for the navigation OF the
vessel. which was under the charge OF Com
mander OSCAR +. HEYERMAN.
There is nothing whatever In the news
from Colon thus far made public 10 indicate
where the blame for this disaster lies.
Roncador Reef has long been perfectly
familiar to our naval officers. The char
acter Of the Gays In the Caribbean Sea Is
rudimentary information for them, while
the special need Of guarding against being
drawn upon ROneadOr. had been freshly
emphasized by the well-known wreck OF the
Aguan there with WARNER MILLKR's party.
This reef is almost directly In the route OF
the KearsaTge from PoTt-au-Prince 10 Blue
fields.
Two somewhat vague and guarded sug-
gsstions about this deplorabls business have
come from Colon. One Is that the wreck
was due to the strong and treacherous
ocean currents near the reef. setting on

opment Of treachery in these currents. this

A Dangerous Dispute under Scandal

tween Brazil and Argentina; and early last

dent Of the United States. The Commits
sioners OF both Governments are in Wash
ington: and, on Saturday Of last week. they
opened the case before the arbitrator. sit
ting In the White House. The Brazilian
Commission consists OF Baron RIo-BRANco
and Gen. De CASTRO CERaUEIRA. with their
secretaries. advisers. and historical and
geographical experts. The Argentine
Commission consists OF DR.. EsTANIsLAo
s. ZEBALLos. Minister at Washington: DIR.
CARLOS ALpAo. DIR. GREGoRIo URI-
ARTE. and the secretaries OF the legation.
Both Commissions have been provided by
their Governments with old Portuguese and
Spanish maps. surveys, treaties. and docu-
ments. and with the Brazilian and Argen-
tine diplomatic papers that have BEEN ex-
changed by the parties at issue during the
course OF the wearisome dispute. which has
existed for century and half. The case
is exceedingly complicated: IL calls for the
most careful study. and 1t ought to be
treated with the utmost delcacy while 1t Is
under arbitration In Washington. This In
ternational dispute refers to the possession
Of IN arm Of land known as the "Misiones
tract" which lies south OF Paraguay. and
between the rivers Parana and Uruguay. and
runs up into Brazilian territory. Affair and

probably terminate forever one OF the most
