connection that an understanding"

that II the representative receives aid

cratic candidates
1t is known that Straus will formally

term within the next few days, and it
Is expected that the announcement will

has been in conference with his friends,
and 1t is said will make no combina-

will depend upon his presentation of
the record of Senator John Walter
Smith as sufficient reason why the lat

ate. Friends of Straus say he will make
surprising Roadway in the counties
from the beginning of his campaign,
and point to his services to party lead
ers in all sections of the state as reasons
for their aiding him.
There is no evidence at the present
time of a combination between the
friends of Senator Lee in his race for
tho short term and Gen. Straus, but
il is held in many quarters that the

Revenue Cutter Service

In the past week the steamers of the
revenue cutter service have had
number Of calls for assistance from
vessels in distress on the coast and in
each instance the vessel has been saved
and towed into port. The value of the
vessels and cargoes in the aggregate will
amount to several hundred thousands of
dollars. thus giving another illustration
Of the efficiency of the service and the
dependence of shipping upon it for aid in
time Of trouble.
The cutter Acushnet, Lieut.. Walter \.
Wiley commanding. whose cruising
grounds are on the Nantucket shoals and
vicinity, was the busiest vessel of the
service. Early in the week word was re-
ceived that three-masted schooner was
ashore on Squash Meadow shoal.
Marthas Vineyard sound. Making all
steam to the scene, the schooner Lottie
Beard was found ashore Some little trOu-
bic was experienced in floating the vessel,
but sne was hauled off the shoals and
taken into Vineyard Haven.
Another call for assistance came from
the Greek steamship Platea. which, rum
ming out of COAL had anchored near Nan
tucket lightship. Responding to the re-
quest of her master for aid the vessel
was taken in tow to New Bedford, where
fuel could be obtained. The report of
Lieut.. Wiley regarding this vessel states
that the ship is valued at $50 and her
cargo at $4,000
A third call to the Acushnet came from
a little two-masted coaster which had
broken her anchor chain and drifted
ashore on Red ledge near Woods. Hole,
