TIE DEMOCRATIC LEADER

From the Huntsville Mercury.
Every Alabamian who wears his heart in
its proper place wishes Hon. John H. Bank
head success in his race for the democratic
leadership in congress 1t is a matter that
rises above partisan politics to the higher
plane of state pride, and appeals to influ
entail men of all classes to assist this wor-
thy Ala.bamian to capture a distinction that
will honor his state as well as himself.
Colonel Bankhead has served his party
well, and probably deserves the leadership
as much as any of his honorable opponents.
In point of qualification no doubts have
been expressed on either side. He is ready
in debate and is finished parliamentary
an-the two qualifications so necessary to
successful leadership on the floor when
matters arise upon which party lines are
closely drawn.
The contest for this honor appears to
have narrowed down between Colonel
Bankhead and Hon. James D. Richardson,
of Tennessee. DeArmand, of Missouri, and
Sulzer of New York, are in the race, but
they are liable to go out at any time after
the first ballot in which case Colonel Bank
heads chances for The prize will be even.
NOAH'< ARK. t"UNp. COME TO PORT
From the New York Press.
One of the nearest approaches to Noah's
Ark seen in recent years was the Hamburg
American line steamer Bulgaria, which ar
rived here from Hamburg yes erday. There
were seventy animals aboard; they came
from Iagenback, the circus man, who is in
Hamburg, and they are consigned to vari-
Gus menageries throughout the country.
Along each side of the vessels overlook
was a row of cages in which the animals
were confined. In three of the largest cages
were elephants; there were four camels,
two ostriches. two slack panthers, two
emus, one yak, one antelope, seven eondors,
twenty swans, one hyena, three porcupines,
four kangaroos, five monkeys, two pellcans
and four armadillos. Ten boxes of the ami
mails will go to Central Park, ten to Gin
cinnati, four boxes to private parties, one
box to Philadelphia, six boxes and two
camels to Lincoln Park, Chicago; three
boxes TO Ringing Bros, one box to Bronx
Park, two boxes to Chicago and two to
Philadelphia.
The voyage was easy one, and not an
animal nor one of the many birds which
were also on board was seasick. They are
all in the best condition, too. All day big
derricks were being rugged up to take the
animals from the vessel to the pier This
work will be begun this morning.

The admiral sent kilograms to the
secretary of the navy and to General

ambang, not far from Tarlac, in which
case the several forces under General
Macarthur, Generals Lawton, Young
and Wheaton would have had him prac,
tically surrounded. There has been
