The republicans of Webster county
are beginning to be enthused with new
blood. A few years ago where all
was anything but harmonious, is to
day a happy united fellowship, the
members of which are ready to 60
forth to battle for the principles un-
derlying the greatest political party
known to modern times. The CHIEF
is pleased to see the unanimity of &C
ton on the part of republicans and
with that kind of feeling we are sure
to win this fall and wrest Webster
county from the hands of fanatics
who have their faith wrapped up in a
party composed of calamity bowling
and abuse of other great parties.
THE Chiefs republican, believes inthe
doctrines of its greatest heroes, Lin
coin, Grant, Conkling, and all those
great men who have figured in the
magnificent work that it has accom-
plished in the past. Be enthusiastic
and energetic and the victory is ours.

TROUBLE in THE CAMP.
A Resort to Filibustering Against Free
Coinage Not Unlikely.

WASHINGTON, February 1.-THE pre-
liminary ruling of the Speaker when the
Bland free coinage bill was reported to
the House yesterday, has caused it's
friends to think that the three members
of the committee on rules, who abso-
lutely control the Legislation of the
House, will fix day for the conside ra-
ton of this measure. There is, of course,
no doubt, that if the bill should be form
ally brought before the House it will
pass by very large majority. The only
doubt in the matter is whether or not it
can be brought before the House without
a resort to the flibustering which the
free coinage men have threatened unless
the committee on rules shall accede to
their request.
Mr.. Bland has put the matter immedi-
ately before the committee on rules, in
the form of resolution, asking that
Wednesday of next week be set apart for
the consideration of the bill. The Speak
er has yielded so far to the wishes of the
free coinage men that he did not send
the bill to the committee on the whole,
or to the appropriation committee, ON
the point made by Mr.. Dingley, that, as
it involves an appropriation to increase
the number of minutes, under the rules
it ought properly to goto either one OF
the other of those committees.

SAW STRANGE LIGHTS.
The Peculiar Experience of the British
Steamer Persian Prince.

New YORK, February 11.-Sailors on
the British steamship Persian Prince,
which arrived today from Mediterranean
ports, relate most remarkable expert
ence. On the morning of February Sth,
the Persian Prince was in lat. $50, so and
long. 10. Suddenly the wind, which had
been blowing heavily, died out, although
a high sea was running. Captain jane
son scanned the southern horizon, and
the sudden lighting up of the sky caused
him to become anxious. 1t was an un-
earthly light, and the sailors became
frightened. Accompanying the light.
came great heat, as if the vessel had sud-
denly been transferred to the tropics.
The men were ordered to take in canvas,
and as they went about their work the
perspiration streamed from them.
In few minutes gust of ice cold
wind came from the northwest, and the
men began to shiver. The wind changed
about again to the southwest, and it was
like the heated air from an oven that
again swept the decks. The crew were
startled and dumbfounded. In a few
moments more the wind veered around
again to the southwest, the sky became
black almost instantly, and an icy hurri-
cane was whistling through the rigging
and about the deck houses. In half an
hour the danger had passed.

New YORK, February 11.-A Cincin-

concerning Mr.. Blaine's letter declining a
nomination for the Presidency.
''Mr. Blaine's mind" he said, twas
made up many months ago. At Bar lar,
Dor last summer the family understood
it, and only occasion was needed to make
it public. Mr. Blaine's health is not
Seriously bad, but he has reached an age
when he quickly feels the effect of even
a slight indisposition. | cannot say any
thing about the rumor that he will leave
the cabinet. He never discussed the
matter in my presence, nor. do | know
who his preference for President is, if,
indeed, he has any preference"

his remuneration, will resist strong party
appeal, should it appear that Mr.. Harri-
son is losing popularity.

LAST HoNoRs TO sPURGEON.
Immense Crowds Do Homage to the
Dead Preacher.


LONDON, February 1.-THE final fu-
neral services over the remains of the
late Rev. Charles Fl. Spurgeon took
place at II o'clock this morning, in the
Metropolitan Tabernacle, where the body
has laid practically in state from the
time it was brought to this city from
Mentone. The tabernacle was packed
almost to suffocation, everybody present
being dressed in deep mourning. The
hymn, Servant of God, Well Done,'' was
sung in grand manner by the assem-
blage. Secretary Harold then delivered
a touching prayer for the dead, dwelling
most eloquently upon the work of the
deceased and the great amount of good
he accomplished during his lifetime.
The funeral procession began to move
from in front of the tabernacle at l
o'clock. The hearse was followed by 40
mourning coaches, to which succeeded
private carriages of all kinds. Immense
crowds of people were gathered at vari-
GUS points along the route of the process
sion to Norwood, four miles long. Re-
ligious bodies were represented in the
procession. Four delegates from the
Salvation Army occupied one carriage in
the line. The sky was cloudy all day
and the weather was moderate.

SKATERS ADRlFT.
sixty Found the Ice Fields Sailing Out to
Sea.

SANDUsKY, O., February ia most
peculiar accident happened here yester-
day. The steamer American Eagle makes
trips during tina winter from the Lake
Erie Islands to Sandusky. Yesterday af-
ternoon she came into Sandusky Bay,
breaking her way through ten inches of
ice. A large number of people were
skating on the bay. The vessel detached
a large field Of ice upon which over sixty
people were skating.
1t rapidly began to drift out into the
lake, and before the skaters realized
their danger it was impossible for them
to reach ice connecting with the main
land. Their screams attracted the atten-
ton of people on shore, and also the crew
of the American Eagle. The captain
turned about and slziffs put off from the
landings. All the skaters were rescued
after a half hours brisk work, the docks
being lined in the mean time with an ex-
cited crowd of spectators.

A Peculiar Accident.

NASHUA, N. H., February 11.-A cost
ly accident occurred at Aver at 7.30 this
morning, in which "a cars were thrown
from bridge into the river, and the
bridge badly wrecked, and Conductor d.
G. Connors undoubtedly killed. 1t was
the regular freight from the west to
Boston. When the train reached the
bridge the engine and four cars passed
over all right and are still standing. The
following "a cars were thrown into the
river and the caboose was left standing.
The theory is that truck of the fifth
car broke, the train separated and the
wreck followed. The cars were loaded
with beef, hay and grain. About three
fourths of the bridge is wrecked, though
not down. Conductor Connors was last
seen on top of the cars near the middle
of the train. AS he has not reported
there is no doubt that he is in the
river under the cars.

snow was not deep enough to have Gov
cred up that animal, Regain began to
search for him. The missing horse was
soon found in Sawyer's stable, near by,
where it had been left by policeman
with orders that it was not to be given
up without permission of the officer So
while the owner had found the horse, he
discovered that he couldn't get his prop
erty. Mr.. Regan was persevering and
consequently he soon succeeded in ex-
planning things and the hack was rescued
before it was entirely buried.
