Captain quick was quite serious in ex-
pressing his Indignation at the unneces-
sary risk to his crew and vessel.
The III Rio was moving slowly in the
direction OF the entrance 10 the channel
when the first shot was fired because the
weather was haZy. and Captain Quick
did not feel Justified in speeding his ship.
Therefore. the first shot passed a short
distance ahead OF the Fl Rio. and the
second but a little way astern.

ISIT POLITICAL DEAL?
The Resignation of Col. Fran
els McCloskey So Claimed.
HAD TO MAKE ROOM FOB TOM LEwIs

The Outcome OF a Deal which is Said to
Have Been Made Prior to the Mayor
aity.oontssf, In the Interests of Assessor
Edmund Mitchell Commissioner Cham
bsrs Denies Any Knowledge OF 1t.
The recent episode Of the presentation
OF picture OF ]. Edward Addicks to the
Eighth Waid Republican Legion, show
ing as Il did a stirring up of the friends
OF the Clsymont gas king. has brought
about a corresponding revival OF energy
on the part Of ths d-be-senator's enc
emines. They realize that to effect any
thing they must be up aud doing and
that fences must be pretty thoroughly
mended in order to keep the voters
within their particular pasture. The
latest panel which has been put In the
political doctors hands Is the one which
bears the label street commissioner
1t will b rendered that during the
Gays preceding the late municipal
election Tom Lewis was e candidate for
the Office of assessor and collector for
the Northern district, and IL looked
as though he we're strong enough to cap
ture it, too, or at least to prove
big stumbling block In the way OF the
then incumbent Maj lr Edmund Mitchell,
Jr, who desired TO succeed himself. lt
is said that deal was entered into. the
conditions being that II Lewis would
draw out and leave the field
open, his brother. j. Hadley LewiE
should receive the nomination for
mayor and he should succeed Colonel
Francis hcCloshey as street commissioner
as soon rs the new board Of directors
got.its hand In and the change could be
made without stirring up a hornets
nest
The Eighth ward episode seemed to
Indicate that the time had come when
some Of the deals, made then and at
other times, shonld be settled. and Colonel
McCloskey. being a Democrat, was selected
as the FIRST victim. IL Is understood
that he was informed that bis
head was to come of, and that he was
given the alternative OF quietly lying
down and rolling out, or being kicked
out. The vacancy was required and bad
to come The colonel, although a brave
man, realized that the enemy WAS too
powerful for him, and wisely determined
to resign
The date at which the resignation was
to take effect was the next question II
is understood that both the Republican
members of the Street and Sewer De
partment were in favor Of its going into
effect fort with, but William A. Pratt,
the only Democratic member insisted
that Colonel McCloskey should hold
until January 1, aud this went.
Commissioner Chambers when asked
by an EVENING JOURNAL reporter, dis
claimed any and every knowledge of any
deal by which Colonel McCloskey was ia
be ousted, and says that he was
not aware that the resignation
was to be handed In unit
Tuesday evening, the night before il
was submitted to the board The
resignation was a surprise to him. anc
he had no reason to advance for It
Colonel McCoskey has nothing to say OF
the matter, no matter what be may
think, and so it rests.
