a gale from the southeast and 1t was
with difficulty that the vessel was kept
afioat. Friday the wind lulled and the
leak stopped. The vessel was then off
Charleston. As the weather cleared the
captain decided he would not put into
port. Saturday the wind changed to
southwest and freshened up. and the
vessel again began to leak. The crew

no fuel for the donkey engine. pro-
visions wet and the water gaining all

lcring the banquet at the Clayton
House to the II honorable George Gray,
the distinguished son Of Delaware.
The Senator was the main spring in
getting the appropriation of two
hundred and five thousand dollars
for the improvement OF the Christi
ana river. The dinner was COM
pliment to the Senator for the grand
work he accomplished as one of the
Peace Commission and in keeping
with his position and abilities as a
United States Senator, who ranks
foremost among his colleagues in
the United States Senate. The SEN
ator feelingly appreciated the well
come home by his fellow townsmen
without any political distinction,
who showed their appreciation of
the occasion by their presence. 1t
was one OF the most representative
gatherings ever assembled together
in our city. 1t was composed of
judges, lawyers, members of Con-
gress, as well as eX-members OF
Congress and Senators, merchants,
bankers, manufacturers and the
solid men of Wilmington. 1t was a
glowing tribute tothe sterling worth
of Wilmington's representative in
the United States Senate. Letters
and kilograms of regret were read
from the President, Vice President,
r and the Peace Commissioners, as
we'll as other members of the Cabi-
net, who one and all spoke in the
highest terms of the Senator S abill-
ties and sterling worth as a man
and Senator and the honor his fellow
, citizens showed HIM.

which was fast becoming ugly. The Of
ficer in command explained to the pro-
prietor that the flag ought to be low
cred, because it was likely to produce
further disorder. The proprietor as
sured the officer that no offence had
been intended, and that, having seen
the English and German flags flying,
he thought he would be at liberty to
raise the flag of Spain. Two members
of the company lowered the flag.
At Mariana yesterday morning, at
the house of the Cuban chief, Leyte
Vidal. private meeting was held at
which number of prominent military
men were present. Considerable dis
pleasure was expressed at the accept
ance by General Mario Menocal and
other Cuban officers of the positions
under the United States military gov
eminent the criticism being that
Menocal and the others had practically
abandoned the Cuban army. leaving
their colleagues of less influence to
shift for themselves.
The customs receipts Saturday were
$33, 400, making a total for the month
thus far of $685., 320.

Look to the Future.

The Republican members OF the
Legislature in selecting 4 candidate
for U. S. Senator should have an
eye to The success of the party at
the next election. We do not wish
to 60 into the coming contest with
divided party, and contribute to the
election of the Democrats. 1t our
representative cannot understand
the responsibility resting upon them
it is high time that they were brush
ing up their .pcrceptive faculties.
Likes and dislikes sbould be held as
secondary considerations. the good
of the party being paramount. The
errors of the past led to defeat at
different elections and it IS a very
poor Republican that wishes to re-
peat the same experiment. Any
compromise whatever VIII prove
more beneficial than this continued
struggle for the ascendencv. Such
conduct is too much like the story
Of the dog in the mangcr that would
not eat the hay. nor allow the on to
eat. BY the continued division the
Democrats will get the offices and
the Republicans can blame those
who betrayed the trust rcpooea IN

1t is important that the Ferris Re

man, wholesale produce merchant,
was publicly horsewhipped Saturday
afternoon by Miss Lizzie Evans, at one
time employed by him, but lately the
manager Of a Priceburg store In which
Alderman was interested. A morning
paper contained the announcement of
his engagement to a well known young

Miss Evans that she determined upon
the horsewhipping. She hired a cab
and drove about the business streets
until she espied Alderman. She leaped
from the cab and laid the lash on with
vigor. Alderman pushed her away,
but she renewed her attack with such
desperation that he ran away.

claius. In view of the position In
which the representatives of the Amer
lean government and the representa-
tives of the Philippine government find
themselves upon the island at this time,
he urges that the matter be given i'm
mediate attention.
The letter and the memorandum have
been listed as official documents in the
state department, and although the
officials have themselves refused to
make them public they have nevsrthe-
less expressed willingness for Senior
Asoncillo to do so IL he desired. The
papers are now in the hands Of Secre-
tary Hay. The memorandum is along
the same lines as statements hereto
fore made public by the Filipino repre-
sentative.
Senior Agoncillo asserts the Filipinos

based upon the right of the people to
rule; that SPAIN having at the time of
the signing of the treaty Of peace pos
session of only one port, and the re-
mainder of tSe Philippines except Man
liza being in possession of the Philip
pines republic, Spain could give no
title to the United States for the ISL

her claim cannot be rendered better
