OPPOSED TO MURPHY
Mr.. Cleveland Does Not Favor
Him For u. S. Senator.
THE PRESIDENT ELECT SPEAKS.

He Does Not Think the Election OF the
Troy Man Would Help the Democratic
Party Believes the Once Should Be
Filled BY One Who Can Originate and
Promote Policies.
New York, Dec. 2S.-That Mr.. Cleve-
land is opposed to the election of Edward
Murphy, jr., to the United States Senate
to succeed Mr.. Hiscock was settled yester'
day by a direct statement from the Presi-
dent-elect.
Mr.. Cleveland at first said that he saw
no reason to make any statement. He
had not, he said, made any secret of his
opinion on the matter. He consented,
however, to discuss the question again,
and said:
''It ought not to be necessary for me to
repeat for the public what I have so
often expressed to many gentlemen in
private conversation. Among these have
been Mr.. Murphy, himself, Mr.. Croker
and gentlemen who have been prominent
in the party from every part of the State
of New York.
at must not be forgotten, however,
that the party has a hard task to perform
if we expect to keep the word we have
passed to the people of the country. They
have given US a phenomenal majority,
one showing that they expect US to do
much. In doing this great deal de-
ponds upon New York and its great me-
tropoliS
''The interests of the State and Of the
party demand, it seems to me, the selec-
ton of a Senator who can not only de-
fend the principles Of our party, but who
can originate and promote policies that
may be presented for consideration in the
Senate. In order to insure this, the SEN
ator from New York should be a man not
only experienced in public affairs, but
who has a clear conception of the vital
issues with which we must deal during
the next few years
Speaking frankly, as I have already
done to those entitled to know my views,
it does not seem to me that the selection
of Mr.. Murphy shows a desire or intention
of placing in the Senate a man of such a
type.
This first use Of our power would, I
fear, cause much disappointment, not
only in New York, but in the country.
This the party ought not to be called upon
to face when it is considered how mnch
there is to do and what serious difficulties
have to be surmounted before it can be
dOnen

VERY shocking tales are those that
Harold Frederic is telling about the way
things are going on in France. He
finds that every phase of the Panama
rottenness is honeycombed with
lubricity, from Reinach down to the
meanest of his purchased deputies. No
door can be opened without glimpse
Of the whisking gauze of ballet girls
dress. Whatever name is mentioned, it
Is recalled at once that its owner needed
a great deal of money to live as he did
in the coulisses of the opera and the
supper rooms of Montmartre. To this
very day one may see a grave, white
haired man, who has been more than
once premier, who expects to be presi-
dent, and who holds the most powerful
portfolio in ministry after ministry,
dining almost nightly at Foyat's in the
company of we'll known courtesans
Such thing would have been talked
about under the empire, but is too COM
monplace under the republic to attract
attention.

Worlds fair act of the last session, al
lowing the exposition to be opened on
Sunday, claim to have polled the house,
and both sides claim to have majority

set apart by the house exposition COM
mittee to hear arguments for and

the impression of experienced observers
of things congressional that the amend

in both house and senate, but there
seems to be doubt as to whether MIR
Harrison will approve it.

THE recent dynamite explosion in
Dublin bears no traces of connection
with the political agitation of the Irish
question. If the outrage be not the
work of the anarchists in behalf of their
cause it will appear in the denouement
that the hand of English enemies of the
Irish cause is directing the movement.
The Irish people know full well, that
public sentiment must be maintained on
their side and are too loyal to the cause
to be party to any such suicidal policy
as the use of dynamite. SlurrIng a
struggling people at this time is in bad
taste.

THE Philadelphia Press and two re-
publican representatives from Phila-
delphia have at last summoned up
enough courage to begin campaign of
agitation against the re election of Quay
to the United States senate. 1t is too
late. Mr. Quay got in his work during
the campaign when the Press was howl
ing for HARRISON. If Harrison hap
pened to be elected, there might be
some show of beating him by a judi
cious distribution of patronage. But
now that engine has fractured boiler,
and the opposition to the junior senator
will be weak and. futile. The two
representatives from Philadelphia who
are now gaining notoriety because Of
opposition to Quay, will record their
vote. for him when the proper time
comes.

THE appearance and speech of Arch
bishop Ryan at the dinner of the New
England society last week was notable
event. Those who have even cursorily
read the history of this country even up
to a recent day fully appreciate the
great gulf of prejudices that separated
the Puritans and their descendants from
those who held the Catholic faith. The
invitation of the archbishop was a
pledge of greater liberality and its ac-
ceptance and the broad views expressed
by the archbishop showed a disposition
to meet advances half way. 1t is of
great benefit to both sides that their
representatives may meet and have a
better understanding one with the
other.

UMBRIA STILL MISSING
The Overdue Steamship Has
Not Yet Arrived.
CONSIDERABLE ANXIETY CAUSED

Agents OF the Cunard Liner Believe Tha,
chinery- Others Think the Severe Gale,
Responsible for Her Non-Arrival.
NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-Fickle fortune al
lowed the crack 1nman steamship City OF
Paris to be beaten by the Cunard steam
ship Etruria, which has never fallen be
low the six day record. The same for
tune has allowed the Umbria, sister
ship and much faster vessel, to be outrun
to this port by the nine day steamship La
Normandie.
The Umbria and Normandie both sailet!
for this port ON Dec. 81, the former from
Liverpool via Queenstown, and the latter
from Havre. The Normandie is tied up
to her pier, while 50 far nothing has been
heard of the Cunarder.
The delay in the arrival of the Umbria
has caused considerable anxiety even to
the agents of the line, who believe that
some mishap must have occurred to the
machinery. The steamship has always
made the most regular trips, reaching
the this port Saturday afternoons or Sun
day mornings Only on one occasion has
she been later, and that was three years
then the record of the vessel has been
free from accident.
The severity of the weather is believed
by many to be the cause of the non-arri
val of the steamship. All the vessels
which have arrived since Wednesday last
have been delayed from twelve hours to
two days, and the more recent the arrival
the greater the delay, except in the case
of the Normandie, which was only "A
hours late. The vessels were all delayed
by the storms, some having been com
PEELED to go far to the southwark, and
others to proceed under reduced speed.
Captain Mckay, commander Of the UNI
bria, is n most thorough seaman, having
been 25 years following the sea. He may
have been compelled to go the southwark,
and in order to save his supply of coal
may have run at twelve instead of Is
knots, which would save 200 tons of coal
day.
The Umbria carries 375 passengers and
a crew of $50 officers and men. The pas
sengers are divided into 100 saloon 125
second cabin and 120 steerage
In November, 1888, the Umbria cut
| down and sank the steamship Iberia -four
miles off Long Beach in a dense fog.
LONDON, Dec. 2S.-The officials of the
Cunard line say that they have no doubt
| that the Umbria's delay is due to the
breaking down of her engines. The
| rate Of reinsurance paid on the Umbria' s
cargo is ten guineas premium.

Six-Pound Gun Each.


Six-Pound Gun Each.
ST. JOHN, N. B., Dec. 2s.-The Curlew,
one of the Canadian lake gunboats which
have been exciting some of the Washing,
ton correspondents SO much, is now 10
this port. She has been employed in the
Bay of Fundy in fishery protection servic'
for about sour months.
The Curlew is about equal to fifth
rate yacht in size, carries crew of II
men and her sole armament is one six
pound smooth-bore brass gun. The tor
pedo tubes, which some of the CORE
spondents saw in her, are her hawse-pipes,
which are carried through her turtleback
bow.
1t is understood that the two other gun
boats now in the lakes are similar to the
Curlew in every respect.
1t is known in Canada that these YES
sells We're photographed while being con-
structed at Owen Sound. and that these
photographs are now in the War Depart
ment at Washington, so that the govern
ment of the United States cannot be
under any apprehension as to their true
