one OF the first j not the first, to leave
the sinking ship. This statement was
made in reply to charges by Fred
Hcirgsell, an eighteen-year-old lad
Of Brooklyn, one of the SURVIVORS, that
while passengers were left to shift for
themselves, the ships crew crowded
the boats without attempting to pro-
vide for the passengers, and that Cap
tain McVey was the first 10 desert the
ship. The statement OF young Hiergsel
created a sensation In view8of the fact
that ten Of the nineteen survivors were
, employees on the ship. or, in Other
words. that while approximately q
per cent. Of the vessels crew were
saved, only 5 per cent. of the passen
gers survived.
Captain McVey explained that while
his boat may have been the first II

until she went down. He said that II,
made 10 move to get into his boa

Shortsighted Politicians.

This message is a striking instance ol
the purblindness of so many of the men
who assumed to be leaders in that mo-
meutous period. One of the favoritt
incidents for English writer's. speakers
and comic illustrators is that of Mrs
Darlington attempting to mop back the
Atlantic Ocean. The story goes that
Mrs. PartingtOn dwelt near the sea
shore, and there came an unusually
high tide which invaded her kitchen
She seized her mop, and began attempt
ing to keep her floor dry by moppins
up the invading water. She WAS q wo-
man of a great deal of determination
and much strength of arm, but it was
an unequal struggle, and pretty soon
the Atlantic Ocean gained Il victory
over Mrs. Darlington. There was much
of the same thing in this attempt OF

Gen. Scott felt deeply the national
modification at the impudence of the
Baltimore Secessionists in isolating
Washington from the loyal part of the
country. Doubtless he felt also, but not
with as much burning indignation as
others, the humilia ton of turning back
the defenders at the demand of Mayor
Brown and Gov. Hicks, but his first con.
sideration was for the safety of the Ma
uonal Capital and TO assemble there
sufficient troops to make that beyond a
peradventure. He began slowly plan
ming to follow this grand campaign
for the reduction of Baltimore. In his
prime Gen. Scott had been command
er of the first rank, and there is nothing

the estimation of the soldiers and STRAIT

sarded the capture of Baltimore as a
work similar in magnitude to that which
he had performed in the taking of the
City of Mexico. He was so imprest with
the noisy activity of the SecessionIsts as
to feel sure that the whole population
Of Baltimore and Maryland would have
to be reckoned with as enemies and met
with military force superior to their
own. AS far as he had outlined his piar
