NEW YORK.
The Senatorial Contest Ended.

New YORK, January 14-The election
OF Thomas G. Platt, as senator from this
state is considered as Conkling defeat.
Platt has in times past been strong
Conkling partisan but he of late has con-
sidered himself a bigger man than Lord
Roscoe and evinced disposition to set up
for himself in the boss business. He is a
Garfield man, and it is charged that Gar
field interfered in the fight and that the
election OF Platt means declaration of
war on Conkling by the coming admins
tration.

The Story Of a Traveller.

Travellers meet with man y
incidents as well as accidents.
They endure many hardshirs
as well as to share the fat Of the
Land. Once upon a time a
young man who was travelling
from the cradle to the grave,
who sought fame, fortune and
relics, the latter Of which in
cluded a. wife. In passing
through the State OF Ohio, he
accidently or otherwise heard
OF the Little Dutchman in
Napoleon, Henry county. Be-
ing rather of an inquisitive
turn of mind he began to n
quire into the history of this
individual, when his curiosity
'lsoon became excited and lie
rsalxed to call upon this elf
ssmeperson, before he got very
much nearer to his grave. He
thought that he would here find

The important towns of TrujlIo and Huaaca-

Mr.. William E. Chandler, who has been at
Fortress Monroe for several days, has returned
to Washington. Touching the antagonism of
the Attorney General toward his nomination
as solicitor general Mr.. Chandler has nothing
to say. His friends, however, are not at all
chary about expressing their opinion. Said
one Of them to-day: "The Attorney General Is
reported as having said that Chandler is No
lawyer. This kind OF talk Is all bo5n. Ii there
was civil service examination held for the
Office to which MIR. Chandler has been nomina-
ted and the Attorney General and Mr.. Chand-
ler were applicants, there is no question In my
mind but waat Chandler would distance the
Attorney General In legal examination. No
lawyer, indeed! Why, he graduated at the
head Of this law class years ago, and was chair
man OF the judiciary committee OF the New
Hampshire legislature away back iu 1852, aud
was suOE Eequenty chosen the speaker of that
