C. c. Hubbard, of Manhattan, and

markable escape they had from death
while ice-yachting on the Great South
Bay yesterday.
With Walter S1uires, Of Bayport, they
had taken a large ice-yacht for a sail,

was OF sufficient strength to hold the

would be seized with cramps in the cold

sinking kept the blood moving through
their limbs and lessened the danger from

bullet went wild.
The shots were heard by the eight

German the rIoSes.

In the selection of the Hon. Arthur
Pue German as their leader, the demo-
Gratis of the senate have taken step
which would indicate partial return
of reason to that party, at least to- the
extent of having a compact organiza-
ton with definite purposes and fixed
policies, even though it be a minority.
Ever since Mr.. German left the sem
ate four years ago his party in that
body has been sadly in need of q strong
hand to guide it. Senator Jones, the
retiring senator from Arkansas, who as
chairman of the democratic caucus has
been the nominal minority leader, has
fallen far short of the necessary quail
fications of effcctive' and prudent lead
ership.
Having no fixed purposes the minor
ity has floundered about hopelessly and
aimlessly, and has been most ineffective
both in proposition and opposition. 1t
has CROPPED about in the dark for an is
sue, but could find nothing more tang
ible than the Philippine question, anG
in handling that it has not met with any
remarka BILE success. The party con-
tests have been conducted by such men
as Senator Carmack, Senator Patter-
son., Senator Bailey, Senator Dubois.
and to some extent by Senator Teller,
Senator Bacon and Senator Tillman.
1t will be Mr.4Gorman's task to bring
together and unite in harmony the dis
cordant elements of democracy; to out
line policy. and to fight for it The
duty is not an easy one to porfernn, but
those who best know the Hon. Arthur
Pue German believe that he is equal to
the undertaking. IT, as he is expected
to do, Senator German brings order out
of chaos. cements his party. and does
something with it in the next year and
a half, this action will no doubt ma
terially advance his candidacy for the
presidency in 1904.
