aders were not aware OF the feat of the
ocean PAGER until the prearrahged sig-
nal, q sky-rocket, was fired from the
bow Of the Vesuvius. Admiral Bunce
was surprised and disappointed. He
had thought the thing impossible and
was loath to believe the report, it is
said, when it was conveyed to him.
How the blockade was run is priced as
Q secret on board the Vesuvius.
The officers are all boasting of the
feat, and are as pleased over it as the
blockaders are chagrined. The passage
through the feet was made as easily,
safely and expeditiously as the most
experienced blockade runner could have
wished.

cuIsu HIM An GALL ,ROUND JINGO."

The Baltimore Sun characterizes Major
Daniel as "the champion. all-'round lingo
of the Senate" This, chiefly, because the
Major opposed the ratification Of the pro-
posed arbitration treaty.
While we cannot say that we agree
with Major Daniel in all of the views
that he has expressed with reference to
this treaty, we can by no means APP
prove the Suns Characterization of him.
He is as sincere a patriot as we know of,
and he would be as slow as any man in
the country to embroil these United
States in a causeless war
Moreover, we may say for him that he
is not Of that class of men who cry aloud
for war and when ii comes seek bomb
proof positions for themselves. Manned
and muster free. as he is. we believe
Major Daniel would not hesitate to take
up arms in any war which this country
might be engaged in. SO we think the sun
does itself little credit, and shows little
knowledge of the man. in speaking of
Major Daniel as an "all'round lingo"
and as one who is "thirsting for blood"
The Dispatch is an advocate of gene
raj arbitration treaty with Great Britain
and we are sorry that the treaty sub
mitted could not be adjusted to suit the
views of the Senate, and ratified at this
session. But objections. more or less
serious. have been raised to 1t, and the
differences at issue between senators
could not be reconciled. This, we re-
peat, we regret; but we cannot permit
ourselves to question the motives or RI
dicule the patrictism of Democrats who
will not lay aside their Views to accept
ours.
A good effect would have been produced
at home and abroad If the treaty had
been promptly ratified; but, inasmuch as
the delay has occurred. we cannot see
that much harm will be done now by
deferring the whole subject until McKin-
ley comes into office, and Congress has
assembled in extra session.

The Govcrnorship.


petersburg IndeX-Appeal)
The Index-Appeal is undoubtedly off
the track at one point. 1t deprecates
the mistake which the Democratic party
may make in two particulars-first, In
prescribing gubernatorial aspirant
simply because he is a Richmond man,
and. secondly, prescribing him because
he was a gold-standard man, notwith-
standing his support of the Chicago
platform and it's candidates We
must demur to the declaration that the
Democrats of Virginia will ever pro-
scribe any man who stood by his party,
and voted for its nominees in the presi-
Dental canvass. simply because he did
