cHAUNcKY N. DRPEw.

the state OF New York. continuing as
the colleague OF the senior senator.
Thomas c. Plat, who has still four
years to serve.
The formal announcement OF this
conclusion was made by Governor
Odell. as chairman OF the Republican
state committee and came as the cul-
miration of a series OF conferences by
prominent Republicans extending over
several weeks. and practically continu-
Gus during the past three days.
The purpOrt OF the announcement
Is that the candidacy OF former Gov
ernor Frank S Black. Of Troy, which
has been warmly pressed by his
friends during. the past fortnight or
more. is to be withdrawn. and that
the name of Senator Depew will be
the only one presented TO the caucus
OF Republican legislators which will
select the party's candidate for sen
atOr.
Governor Odel's formal announce
ment. which is regarded as closing
the controversy on the subject. gives
II as his conclusion that party har-
mony will be best subserved by the
reelection OF Senator Depew." con
cedes that the sentiment favoring his
selection is very strong throughout the
state. and declares that 1t would have
been the worst kind Of generalship to
have run counter to this expressed
public opinion.
The settlement OF the senatorship
apparently clears up what was re-
garded as a critical situation. involv-
ing a struggle which Republicans COM
pared TO that Of two years ago, when
Senator Plat was reelected. The con-
trOversy has, however, materially diff
fered from that concerning Mr.. Platt,
because the candidacy of former Gov
ernOr Black has involved no personal
attack upon Senator Depew.
1t was in connection with the re-
election of Senator Plat that Senators
Bracket, of Saratoga; E. r. Brown,
of Jefferson. and Elsberg. of New
York, withdrew from the Republican
party caucus. supported Elihu Root
for the senatorship, and throughout
that session carried on the warfare, in
which they received the title OF the
insurgents"

Observation-Disclosures
Crews of Two Stranded Steamers
Taken Ashore With Difficulty.
10Th WILL BE TOTAL LOSSES

Norfolk. Va. Dec 30.-After being
imprisoned on the wrecked oil steamer
Northeastern nine miles of Cape Hat
teras for 80 hours. Captain Wilder and
his crew of 2l men were taken ashore
by the crews OF the Kinnakeet, Creeds
Hill and Hatteras life saving stations.
The big steamer is pounding Dia-
mond Shoals under a terrific sea, and
the crew SAYS she will be a total loss.
In a bewildering fog Tuesday night
the Northeastern. on her way up the
coast from Port Arthur, Tex, to New
York. with a cargo OF crude petro-
leuni. showed her prov into the deadly
sands off Hatteras and was soon fast
in the clutches Of the graveyard OF
shipping before her crew realized
what had happened. This was at IL
o'clock. and before day had come the
gale that swept over the country from
the middle west had struck the sea.
and the waves were crashing over the
helpless vessel necessarily.
The force CT the wind and tide threw
her on her port beam. and the Hood OF
water extinguished her fires before her
infiammable cargo was reached. The

RIVER TRADE AND THE WEEMS
LINE.

We published in the last issue OF
this paper a notice OF she Wet ms
Steamboat Company signifying their
intention OF disseminating the steam
or Caroline for the present. Weearn-
estly hope that this does not signify
that the discontinuance will be per-
manent. The schedule under which
the Caroline has been operating has
been great convenience as we'll as a
source of profit to our people, and
has resulted in bringing consider
able amount OF the Rappahannock
river trade to us which would other
wise have gone elsewhere. We APP
preciate the fact that this is a dull
season OF the year and that the Caro-
line is much in need OF repair, and we
hope and believe that it is the inten-
tion of the Weems Company to tide
over the dull season and complete
the necessary repairs on the Caroline,
aud that in the early spring she will
resume her former route under the
same or a similar schedule.
Fredericksburg has happily thrown
of that stage of lethsrgy which for
some time afflicted and Obstructed
her progress and is now a growing
aud a prosperous community. Her
merchants and business men have a
lively interest in cultivating the trade
comprised within the Rappahannock
valley. 1t Is naturally within our
sphere of influence, and we have a
lively appreciation of the advantages
the river boat gives in the cultiva-
tion of this trade, as well as a due
appreciation of all concessions OF the
Weems Company to facilitate US in
the contamination OF this object. IL
is, therefore, very much to be hoped
that, Just as We have begun TO ex-
perience the benefits of the present
arrangements, we will not be perma-
nently deprived OF it, but that the
Weems people will find it 10 their in
terest to replace the Caroline on the
river in the early spring.
