FILIPPTs UNEXPECTED BATH.

Frederick Filippi. 40 years old, an
Italian. of No. 80 Roosevelt street, New
York, took an unexpected cold water bath
yesterday morning. He also narrowly
escaped drowning. The lao O'Clock ferry
boat was just drawing out of the slip
when Filippi tried to jump aboard. He
slipped and landed headforemost into the
river. His shouts attracted the atten-
ton of James Mckinney, the veteran life
saver. and in short order he had been
flshed out with a boot-hook. He was
badly frightened, and in broken English
sasd he knew he would die. An ambulance
was called and he was removed to the
City Hospital. After his Clothes had been
dried he was able to go home.

The action of the Senate in passing
the Cuban resolutions is a political crime
of almost incredibls magnitude. It shows
an outrageous contempt f,r the rights of
another nation and an extraordinary
reckiessness in respect to the interests
of this country

concur in this wild outburst of demaGn@-
ism. the immediate result may be war

blind ourselves to the truth. This is not
of man. 1t is a wal to compel a sis.
ter nation, a nation with which we have
had a long peace, a nation which was
our ally in our struggle for freedom and
ever since. to give up a part of her ter
ritory which she intensely desires to
hold, and to which she has an indefeasi-
BILE claim.
This is a war of aggression upon our
part. and we go into 1t without any
means or preparation for such an under
taking. Our Navy is inadequate for attack
and our Army is little more than a
name. Nothing but modification and dis
comfiture can attend our efforts for
many months. On the other hand, when
by our great natural resources we have
fitted ourselves for attack, when we
crush our weak and sorely tried adver-
sary by weight of our millions, what do
we gain? A victory. carrying with 1t
neither gain nor glory. but the contempt
of all civilized peoples. Meantime. no
doubt. England will have taken advan-
tage of our embarrassment to settle the
Venezuela question her own way.
1t may be said that our position upon
this question 10 Inconsistent with that
which we have held in the Venezuelan
dispute. 1t really is not so in the least.
For principle. in defence of the Amer
lean Continent against fresh European
aggression, in defence of our own rights
and interests, we are ready to go to
war, however serious our initial disad-
lvantages. Trusting in the justice of our
cause we would risk the arbitrament of
battle as the least of the evils confront
ing US. Besides. in a wal of the kind
that threatened us then. we had every
advantage that we lack in a war with
Spain. England is particularly vulner-
able to us. On the contrary. Spain can
mot be attacked except at great ex-
pense and with great difaculty. and If
WI attempt the capture of Havana. we
must leave our entire coast exposed to
the manages of Spanish warships.
ThA coursesof the Senate is immoral
and rash in the last degree. 1t is ami
mated by no sincere feeling. We do not
believe these hardened politicians care a
