The American ship Erskine VI.
Phelps Is at present 1874 days out from
Norfolk for this port. The Phelps Is
a fine ship, which has several times
made fine passage to this port and
this passage is beginning TO draw out
to be rather a long one. Should the
Phelps stay out until she reaches the
To-day mark she will probably be
placed on the overdue list at the rate
Of ten per cent reinsurance. The
Phelps Is fine new ship and her mas.
ter, Captain Graham, is known as an
able navigator. 1t is a point against
the Phelps chances that She Is com.

The remembrance Of the old ship Roa.

fresh in the memory of waterfronteTs.

Jack" Atkinson is freely mentioned
today as an active candidate for the

Nida's claim on the convention will
be the first consideration OF the Fifth |

entitled to recognition on account OF
his victory at the primaries in the |
Seventh. Vida will not take the full
vote Of the Fifth TO the convention for
County Clerk, as Achi is supporting
Savidge, but he will have strong
backing as well as the II votes pledged
10 him from the Fourth. On the other
hand, Savidge and Murray will spill,
the votes in the Fourth, thus giving
Vida a good, winning chance on the
first ballot. The Murray men are said
to be stickers from first to last, but 1t
is thought that the Savidge vote will /
show less strength than the late clerk
of the Senate anticipates. So far
