The British bark Killoran, which
received a part cargo of lumber at
the east side of Tarragona wharf,
was moved to the stream yesterday
afternoon and will complete cargo at
her present anchorage. The tug
Simpson lowed the bark to deep
water.
Rather than fall into the hands of
the enemy, two German seamen
aboard the Danish bark Maja desert
ed that vessel while the latter was
in port and were picked up and
charged by a deputy sheriff with
train riding. They pleaded guilty be-
fore a special term of the court of
record yesterday, but sentence was
postponed when they informed the
court they would ship on an outgoing
vessel. They had been in Jail for sew
eral days. The Maja sailed last week
for Troon, Scotland.

Inconsistent Congress.

The House refused to give the Capitol en-
ployes mileage to their homes, although members
voted themselves the customary 80 cents per mile
to and from their districts.
The action of the House had been predicted
and accordingly there was but little disappoint-
ment. With Congress appropriating with a very
liberal hand and with the total of figures reach
ing beyond S2,ooo,ooo,ooo for this session, econ
omy applied towards matters such as the en-
ployes' mileage is amusing. 1t is like closing
the spigot and leaving the bunghoe open.
In this respect the Republican Congresses
have been more consistent. The customary per
quisities always have been voted to members
and in passing around the emoluments of office
at the close OF the session the employees gen
orally were remembered with a months extra
pay. There is no justification for granting such
benefits, but why deny the poorer paid employees
when funds are dispensed so literally in every
direction and members take a slice of the pie for
themselves.
Consistency is commcndable thing, but the
record of the Congress which is drawing to a
close will not be memorable for possessing this
quality.

Lodge VS.. Fitzgerald.

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Of Massachusetts
soon viii go before the people for reelection In
general election for the first time since he has
served in the Upper Branch of Congress
Hitherto the senior Senator from the Bay
State has been the choice of Republican legis-
lature, and as the accredited boss of his party
has been chosen without serious opposition.
Today he faces situation where he places
his case before all the people in a Common.
wealth that Has more than its share of native
born Irish and sons of Irish immigrants. And
he faces one of the most versatile and able sons
of an Irish immigrant in the candidacy of former
Mayor John F. Fitzgerald, of Boston.
This situation would not be the subject OF
grave comment were it not for the fact that SEN
ator Lodge has been branded by German sympa.
thizers as the unofficial representative of England
in the United States Senate as a simon pure
Tory and as the standard bearer of ultra-Puri-
tanism far removed from the common people
Opposed to him is a clever, capable politician
not unknown to Washington because he served
six years in the Lower Chamber of Congress, a
great part of which time he was the only New
England Democratic member of the body. He
served six years mayor of Boston and sur
rounded himself with constituency that he will
utilize in the coming national election.
Fitzgerald has peculiar faculty OF reaching
the hearts of the people. He is a very able cam
paigner with a capacity for working the proverbial
twenty-four hours in the day when his own
political fortunes are at stake.
All advices from Boston and the other i'm.
portant political centers of Massachusetts, indi,
cate, however, that the senior Senator will be
overwhelmingly elected. Even some of the former
mayors most ardent friends agree that he has
chosen a most unfortunate year to win for him
self Senatorial toga.
With all the German criticism of the Senator
and in the midst of Irish population that has
no enthusiasm for England, it is peculiar that
Honey" Fitzgerald should be rated so weak
and his opponent so strong.
Looking at the matter from an nprejudiced
standpoint, it would seem that the Bay State
recognizes the value of experience and is ready
to concede that it has a statesman occupying one
of its two seats in the United States Senate
1t is apparent that Massachusetts, is eager to
pay its debt to Senator Lodge, although in SC
doing the voters must cast aside some pSejudices
created by the European war. In othef words
the people of the nation may expect to see thi.
one contest at least decided on its merits
Senator Lodge occupies one of the highest
places among the statesmen of the nation as ar
American and diplomat. In the Senate he has
time and again voted against his own party in
the crises which the President and nation have
faced and the voters know that when the ISSUE
is Americanism they can count on the senior
Senator from Massachusetts,

Roumania on the Defensive.

Following swiftly on the news of Roumania's
entrance into the war come reports that the ma
tons capital, Bucharest, is menaced by the Tcu-
tonic allies. The reports, bearing much evidence
Of being truthful have produced a shock, for
Roumania has had ample time to plan and pre-
pare and yet apparently has been caught I'M
awares
The report states that army of Germans
and Bulgarians in the first important battle with
Roumanians captured Tutrakan on the Danube,
ten miles from the Bulgarian frontier and only
thirty-fve miles from Roumania's capital 1t is
evident that the Teutons are ready for drive
on Bucharest Thus, King Ferdinand, within a
few days after entering the war may be seen
on the defensive, striving to save his capital.
1t is reported that the Teutonic allies have
massed large army for this drive and hard
hghtlng may be expected. Ferdinand knows that
to lose Bucharest would be to dishearten the
people and seriously impede the achievement of
those things for which Roumania unbuckled her
sword

An interesting report on hunting moose

November spent eleven days with guide
hunting big game near the shores OF

government does not set aside some re-

AFTER-DINNER POLITICS
When Arthur and Cleveland Hobnobbed
BY Dr. e. j. EDWARDS.

~ 'fAs s1s es III W n
John Adams refusal to accompany his
successor, Thomas jefferson, az the time
of the inauguration Of the latter, = an
incident that has become a tradition. Al
though other retiring Presidents have not
regarded their successors with especial
cordiality, nevertheless none has failed
to accord the parting act Of courtesy.
There were two who served as Presi-
dent who just before Inauguration and
at the time of the ceremonies, revealed
the kindeet personal consideration and
increased friendship that had been es-
tablished before either Of them became
President.
After Grover Cleveland was nominated
in tine summer Of 1884, for the Presidency
by the Democracy, President Arthur
whom l met one afternoon in Jackson
square, Washington-spoke TO me Of
Cleveland, saying that he knew him
slightly, regarded him highly and
had heard that as a lawyer he was
very painstaking in the preparation OF
cases. Therefore President Arthur was
inclined to think that after Cleveland
became President, II he were elected in
the fall, he would take into the White
House those admirable qualities OF pa
thence and perseverance which distiU-
guished him when he was a practicing
lawyer at Buffalo and also during his
short service as governor Of New York.
Col. Daniel s. Lamont told me,
shortly after Cleveland retired after
his first term as President, that the
latter entertained the warmest feel
ings Of friendship for Arthur, and
sometimes said that Arthur had met
the responsibilities OF the Presidential
office which suddenly came to him.
with admirable patience and great
tact.
Cleveland never forgot Arthur's
kindness to him at the time the
former went TO Washington a few
days before his Inauguration as Presi-
dent" said Col. Lamont 'FOf course
there were to be the perfunctory and
formal exchange Of courtesies. but
President Arthur went much further
than this. I knew Arthur well, and
through me he communicated with
Cleveland, intimating that he would
be glad II the customary call became
something more than a mere formal
| ity. 1t was more than formality
The retiring President and the in
coming President met as old friends
Arthur took pains not only to tell
Cleveland what some Of the conve-
niences and what some Of the incon-
veniences OF the White House were
but also entertained him by inviting
him to share in a glass OF very old
and very pure whisky. The two men
chatted for a while as though obliv-
ious OF their station. and after the
call was ended Cleveland said to me
that II was one OF the most enjoya-
BILE that he had ever made. Cleve-
land was also OF the opinion that in
time the American people would real
ize that Arthur had given them ar
admirable administration. especially
successful in view of the extraordinary
difficulties which faced him when he en-
tered the White House
