Americans who arrived in Scandina-
via recently on the steamer Bergens-
ford told of a decidedly unique cele-
bration. of the Fourth of July on board
that vessel. On the third of July the
Bergensfjord was captured" by a
British cruiser and escorted to Kirk
wall for the customary examination of
cargo and passengers. Despite the
fact that they were TO be "captives'
over the Fourth in q British harbor
the passengers decided TO hold fitting
celebration and to read anew the Dec
laration of independence. All the neu-
trails on board decided to join the
Americans. and Captain Irgens of the
Bergensfjord appointed committee to
arrange everything. The hour set for
the ceremonies was eleven O'Clock the
morning of the Fourth. 1t was found
at that time, however, that the British
authorities required the presence of all
tirst-class passengers, and the reading
of the Declaration of Independence
was postponed until two o'clock. At
this hour the ceremonies were begun
anew, America" was sung, short
prayer was offered and then Captain
lrgens arose. Il regret very much"
he announced, but the Declaration of
Independence must again be postponed
as the British authorities require the
presence of the second-claSs passen-
gers in their dining room" At three
o'clock the ships company assembled
again to hear proclaimed the principles
of free and Independent people. But
again Captain Irgens arose. 81 regret
again to have to- announce a further
postponement of the Declaration of In
dependence, for the British authori-
ties. who do not recognize the Fourth
of July as a holiday, say they must
have the third-class passengers in their
dining room at once" Forty-five min
utes later the British authorities had
concluded their examination OF the
neutrals and this time the declaration
was read amid great enthusiasm. The
Bergensfjord. however. and the Amer
leans aboard her. remained in cap
tivity" until the afternoon of the fifth.

His Most Ardent Sup.
porters Surprised
Over the Result
RESULTS OF PRO.
VOTE ARE SEEN

Hon. Charles A. Culber~on Will succeed
himself a. senator from Texas. The re-
turns from the final run off senatorial
primary of the Texas democratic party of
last Saturday show landslide victory
for the Senator over former Governor
Oscar u. Colquitt BY 4 majority approx-
mating 10000.
Returns from 220 counties. of which
l03 are complete. give Culber>on 155. .9i5
votes a. against SIS. .455 for Colquitt. Up
to Sunday night CulberSonS lead was
about $4,000 with 30 counties heard
from. Since that time the returns from
ten additional counties. in which Coquitt
was given slight lead. cut the gains of
Culbcrson by about 5000 votes Ont of a
total estimated vote Of 270,000 east. 2l4.-
400 had been heard from up to noon To-
day
Some of the impressive figures shown
in the returns follow: Bexar county.
Colqutt 1864. Cuberson 24s5. majority.
72l: Travis county. Colquitt 1921, Culher-
spn 26a9, majority 1873; Harris county,
Colquitt 3l0i, CulberSon 7022. majority
302S: Dallas county. Colquitt 1867. Gull
bcr9on 1894. majority 5227: III Paso
county. Colduitt $50. Culberson 1o65
Galveston. Colquiit 772, Culbcrson 2O22.
majority 1850; Mcclellan county Colquitt
1854, Culberson 3252. majority l69S.
The returns from Saturdays primary
were admittedly a surprise to Culberson's
supporters in the overwhelming ma aiority
given the senator over Colqutt In the
July primary Colquitt had n lead Of 81
III votes over Culberson according to the
election bureau figures. But the combin-
ed opposition To Colquitt was 279.i33. An
analysis of the August returns leads to
the conclusion that Culberson acquired
strength from the supporters Of Brooks,
Campbell and Henry III the first primary.
His gain over the July primary vote east
for him will amount to about 81 900 while
Colquitt will lose approximately 10000
votes.
In all sections Of the State. even where
CuIbcrson'S strength was believed 10 he
the least. the returns show the result of
the pro vote Bexar county had been ex-
pectcd 10 90 for Colquitt by an easy ma
jority.
CulberSon has heavy maioritieS in Tar
rant. Ellis. Dallas. Harris. Travis, Vic
toria. Williamson, Hunt. Johnson. McIen-
nan. Anderson and other counties that
Colquitt's managers had counted heavily
upon.
