TUG RESCUES TWO BARGES ADRlFT IN
 NORTHEAST GALE
Last Two of. Convoy of Six Vessels Break Away in
 Heavy Sea Last Night.
One Tug and Barges Weather bound in Bridgeport Har-
 bor Since Friday.

In the midst of a high northeast
 wind and a heavy sea, the New York tugs Elmer A. Keeler and D. s. Arnott. of the Kee1er Transportation company,
 were pulling up the Sound late last
 night with a tow of six light barges
 when off Bridgepo~4 the last two boats broke loose and sagged away before
 the wind.
 It was nearly midnight when the ac- cident happened and as the two boats were in danger of being carried ashore the Arnott cast off and went in pursuit After picking up the castaways she
 brought them into Bridgeport harbor and put on her haWsers within it's shelter as it was impossible for the tug to come alongside the barges in the open and rough water, for fear of doing them serious damage. The Ar mott then pulled the two out again
 and went on to New York, the Keeler having held her course.
 On account of the unfavorab1e weather conditions in the Sound the James McWilliams, bound for New
 York from New Haven with 10 light
 boats, also sought shelter in Bridge port during the night and was held here for several hours The Owen J McWilliams, which made this llarbor
 last Friday with three light boats bound for New York, was still wealth er-bound this morning and the local
 tugs had increased her tow to the number of twelve She attempted for
 a second time to get away before day light this morning but there was no chance.
 When the Owen first tied up for
 weather 1t was thought. the lay y-over would only be 8 matter of hours but
 now the officers and crew Of the steamer are wondering whether they
 will be able to get home in time for Christmas

ments to Europe are practically at an
end for this year, in the opinion of
George E. Roberts, director Of the

said the excellent grain crop In this

conditions in Europe, would soon
swing the balance of trade back to-
ward the United States and check the
outward movement Of gold.
This prediction was realized and
the exchange rate has fallen to Z

of gold would be improbable and it
seems unlikely that Paris will make
further inroads upon the United

reported great sales of wheat to be

It Is estimated that at least Is, 000,-
900 bushels Of winter wheat will be

The Minneapolis Journal wants
every candidate for the legislature to
pledge himself to support the program
of the efficiency commission. We
know of nothing more foolish than
this-to expect a pledge for a half
baked program, a proposition which
needs the very closest scrutiny, which
undertakes to revolutionize the state
government under the pretext Of eff
cheney. Candidates should pledge
themselves to give the plan the most
careful consideration, and that it de-
serves, but for candidate to pledge
himself to support all the details would
be absurd. In the making, the plan
proposed was changed many times,
and very likely can be changed again
with advantage. Many good men are
on the commission, but the time de-
voted to the work was small, and the
plan was the work Of very few. To
say that the representatives of the en-
tire citizenship should in advance
pledge themselves to plan which
needs the most careful, minute and
searching investigation and scrutiny,
is reflection on popular government.
