We learn from the argus that Mayor
Cleveland denies the rumor that he is am
bilious to be United States Senator. But
we do not believe that, as the Argus's SEN
sational and wholly unreliable afternoon
contemporary says, the Mayor said
that the rumor started in this ofisa. The
rumor prevailed among certain circles, and
we gave it out as we heard it, If the rumor
had lin ked some impossible or inadequate
name with the position, We should not
have gwen it any heed =; butwhen /. citizen
of the Mayors political prominence and
skill was mentioned in connection with it,
we paid him the compliment Of mentioning
it. A desire to be one of two representa-
tives Of this State in the Congress of the
Nation is very praiseworthy ambition in
| deed, and Mayor Cleveland is not to be
condemned for wishing to round off a life
of public work with the dignity OF such a
place. But then, if he doesn't want it,
why, we sha'n't urge him to take it and
as he wants it known we take pleasure in
announcing that he will not be one OF the
candidates before the Joint Caucus next
January. The Mayor in fact shows his
usually shrewd appreciation Of the sitna
ton in declaring that the great legislative
victory Of ten days ago was won by Hon
| Leon Albeit, aud that he has fairly earned
the Senatorial laurels. Thai IS our OWE
opinion OF the matter and, great as is oui
regard for the Mayor, we shoald have beer
sorry to hays seen hin coatest.ng FOL

If the SUNDAY MORNING NBws can do
anything 10 promote the succesa of the
movement looking to the passage by tho
legislature of suitable police pension
bill, it will do it with the greatest of pleas
urc. The main idea is a good one. The
city has no right to turn away her men,
grown old and feeble in its service, to die
like rats in squaIor and want. The man
who can keep himself in coed form in
the Police Department for TWEEN
ty years, proves his worth and
efficiency by his term of service.
But at the same time, the WIS
dom of fixing the service of tweoiy years
aslhe condition of retirement on pen
sion may be open to discussion. If a man
begins police life at thirty, he would be
entitled to pension at fifty and that is
tie age when the prime of life is reached.
It's practical effect here would be to retire
Captain Archie McKaig, Sergeant 10 Car
roll and Officer "Chick' Welsh on pen.
sions. They are all comparatively young
men yet, fnll Of strength, active, vigorous
and capable we hope Of many more years
of service. 1.-THE retirement should. be
hedged around with reasonable restric-
lions; and the city should give her help
ing hand to her servants only when they
are too old or too ;nfrm to be presumed to
help themselves. 8 We do not say this
with any design of throwing cold water on
the scheme A pension bill that permits
retirement even after twenty years OF
service is better than no pension bill at alt.
Further discussion of the scheme among
those interested will doubtless result in a
satisfactory adjustment of the details.

THEATER BURNED.
The New Temple in Philadelphia
Destroyed.

PHILADELPHIA, December PA fire
broke out in the basement of the new
Temple Theater this morning, and in a
short time the entire building was filled
with smoke. The fire started in the
connected with the theater.
The theater is owned by VIM. NJ. Sing.
erly, proprietor of the Philadelphia
Record. The Washington Hotel, ad-
joining the theater on the east, and
much valuable property, is located in
the immediate vicinity of the building.
At 80 it was believed the flames could
be confined to the theater, but the fire
is burning tiercely in the center of the
large building, out of the reach of the
firemen and may probably get beyond
their control. The theater with its inn
provements cost Singerly S4O0, 900, and
was regarded as the handsomest theater
buildings in the country.
The insurance ON the property amounts
to $l27, 900. The roof fell in at 2:30 and
taking portion of the wall with it,
buried three fremen under the heavy
timbers and stone. One of the men,
Hugh Colgan, was dug out alive, but the
otherz--John johnson and John Glib
son-are still buried under the debris
and cannot be reached. They are dead
beyond all doubt. The fire is yet burn.
ing fiercely and trunks aud furniture are
being removed from the Washington
Hotel.
The fire was gotten under control
about s o'clock tonight, the flames hav-
ing Leen kept within the walls of the
theater building. The building and its
contents are completely destroyed. Por.
tions of the front aud back walls are
standing, but will have to be taken
down when the new building is erected.
No effort will be made tonight to reach
the two unfortunate tiremen, their bodies
being buried under twenty feet of brick
and stone.

CALIFORNIA GRAPES.

Dewey, of the wine house of Dewey &
Son here, in an interview to-day regard
ing the high prices charged for Califor-
mia grapes in this city, said: "There is
really no good reason why we should
not have the beautiful Flaming Tokays
and Black Hamburgs retailed all through
the season at from ~ to Is cents per
pound. Some man with pluck and ener.
gy could take hold of the enterprise, Or
ganizs it properly and maze fortune
out of it, while supplying the public
with the best and most healthful fruit
that grows" Mr.. Everett, of the fruit
house of Miles & Ever
EFT, said: 'HThe trouble is that
there is no organization in the business
at present. There is no one in the mar
ket who buys California grapes outright
and sells them at reasonable advances
All the grapes sold here are handled on
commission at every step OF the way
from the grower in California to the
bawker in the streets. Let company
be organized which will keep its agents
among the California vineyards supplied
with funds and ready to buy on the spot
with cash and then let grapes be brought
here by quick freight and sold directly
to retailers. There will not only be
enormous profit in it but business far
beyond that done by the largest commits,

A Fierce Snow Storm i'm
England.
EUROPEAN WAR NEWS.
All the European Powers Prepar-
ing for War to Begin in
the Spring.

Especial to the Herald by the Associated Prsss
LONDON, December 27.-One of the
severest snow storms that ever visited
the country passed over England to-day.
The railway trains were blocked and the
telegraph wires torn down by the storm
in many places. The damage to tele-
graphs is greater than for many years.
The snow was accompanied by hurri-
canes on the southern and eastern
coasts. Reports of numerous wrecks
are slowly arriving. and there has been
much damage to life and property.
New YORK, December 27.-Geo. G.
Ward, General Manager of the New
York Commercial Cable Company has re-
ceived the following information from
the agent Of the line at Bristol, England:
The snow storm yesterday iu England
appears to have done an amount of dam
age to the telegraph wires which is un-
precedented. The London Daily NelOs
says: The telegraph wires in the city
last night were swapping with alarm
rapldity, and in Fleet street the police
men curled the broken ends round
the lamp posts. The train on the Mid
land was delayed over an hour by falling
telegraph wires across the track. A
large number of telegraph and telephone
wires fell over the Metropolitan area.
There was very severe weather at Read
ing yesterday. The snow that fell in
the afternoon was heavier than has been
experienced for years, while the wind
blew a hurricane. causing considerable
d image to the roofs of houses. Trees !,
were also injured by the branches being
wrenched by the violence of the
wind. In the cut on the Great
Western road trains were delayed
by snow-drifts Oh the line from Padding
ton to Reading and from Bath to
Bristol. All telegraph poles are perfect
wrecks, most poles being splintered like
match wood and broken down. The
trains are considerably delayed, and
signalled along the line by flags. It
seems probable that the wires between
Bristol and London, and will not be re-
stored for two or three days. The tele-
graph lines in other directions have
equally as far as can be ascer-
aimed,

WAR IN THE SPRING.
The War Situation i'm Europe
mp to Date.


New YORK, December 27.-The Stars
London cablegram says: In an interview
on the foreign situation an admiral of
the fleet stated last night that war in
the spring, if not sooner, is certain :
The chances are in favor of the hostili-
ties breaking out early in March. None
of the powers cons slider themselves strong
enough TO talk of fight until the back of
the European winter is broken. The
admiral stated that Russia is certainly
resolved to seize Constantinople at
the cost of lives and treasure, and
Turkey is powerless without European
assistance. Russia once firmly planted
in Constantinople no European power
could disledge her. She could block
the entrance to the Black Sea and de-
stroy the whole fabric of British COM
merce in that region. Such being the
prospect, it is considered the duty of
Great Britain to arm at all points and
unceasing exertions are being put forth
to bring the British navy up to the
highest state of efficiency. 1t is intend
ed to make the effective lighting strength
of the country at sea greater than tnat
of Russia and France combined. The
march of the first Russian regiment
across the border will probably be sig.
nal for renewed struggle be-.
tween France and Germany and
considerable portion of the French
navy will be detached for service on the
German coast. In other quarters it is
learned that Prince Bismarck regards
the preparations of France as equivalent
to the intended declaration of war
against Germany. He is anxious to see
the early evacuation of Egypt by the
British and the settlement of the Bul.
garian question to clear the way to
action, compelling General Boulanger
to show his real designs. The belief
here is that Germany's preparations are
more advanced than General Boulanger
has any idea of, and that Germany is in
better condition to take the field than
France.
