they will not need soft mashes, and
when there are plenty of insects it
will do to omit the beef scraps, but
if they are confined to the yard they
will need both in summer as much as

Twelve Skaters Drowned-Much Suf.
ferirg Among the Poor.
LONDON, Dec. 27.-England Is having
severe and trying Christmas weather.
A vigorous frost prevails throughout the
country and the average temperature is
about 21' above zero. London is buried in
a dense fog and it is difficult to see any one
few feet away.
Many accidents have occurred in Glas-
gov, Manchester and Newcastle owing to
frozen boilers bursting, and two persons
were killed by an accident of this character
at Airdrie to-day.
Twelve skaters lost their lives by drown
Ing in Great Britain yesterday.
SUFFERING AMONG THE POOR.
The poor are suffering terribly in London.
Last night the Salvation Army shelters were
crowded, all being accommodated whsther
able to pay the small charge for lodging or
not. The Salvation Army also entertained
a multitude with free Christmas dinners.
Multitudes continue TO throug co London
from all parts OF the country.
Advices from Lancashire state that the
locked employees of the cotton manufactur-
ing districts had a hungry holiday, thou
sands being dependent upon charity for sus-
tenanco. Hundreds are wandering about beg
ging and it is feared that the vigorous
weather will cause tae loss OF many lives.

CRIsP OFF FOR NEW YORK.
He Will Have an Interview Wit
President-ElectC Cleveland.

He VIII Have an Interview With
President-Elect Cleveland.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Speaker Crisp
left for New York this evening, accom-
panied by several members of his family,
who wanted to see the metropolis during
the holiday season. Mr.. Crisp will call
upon MIR. Cleveland. as has been st lated,
but not as has been reported upon Mr..
Cleveland's Invitation. However, Mr..
Cleveland will give Mr.. Crisp a cordial
welcome. They will probably have long
talk. Probably the first matter considered,
judging from the experience of other
democrats who have seen Mr.. Cleveland
recently, will be the silver question, Mr..
Cleveland being impressed with the neces-
sity for passing the Mcpherson resolution
suspendiDg the purchase Of silver bullion,
and advising all the democrats who
come TO see him to help
IL through. However, the interest here
in the coming interview between Mr.. Crisp
and Mr.. Cleveland centers in what may he
said about the new congress rather than
what may be said about silver. The demo-
Gratis in the Senate and House, and the re-
publicans too, want to know how the con,
fiicting views of MIR. Cleveland and Mr..
Crisp as to an extra session and as to the or
genization of the next House are to be
reconciled.

CLEVELAND AGAINST MURPHY.
The President-elect Don't Think He is

The President-elect Don't Think He is
the Right Man for Senator.
New YoRK, Dec. 27.-The Times will
print the following tomorrow: THAT Mr..
Cleveland is opposed to the election of
Edward Murphy TO the United States
Senate to succeed Senator Hiscook was
authoritatively settled yesterday by a
direct statement from President-eleot
Cleveland. He 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. how.
ever, to discuss the question again and
said: 1T ought not TO be necessary for me
to repeat for the public what have so often
expressed to many gentlemen in private
conversation. Among these have been Mr..
Murphy himself, Mr.. Croker, and gentle
men who have been prominent in the party
from every part of the state of New York.
HARD TASK AHEAD.
"It must not be forgotten, however, that
the party has a very hard task to perform
II we expect to keep the word we have
passed to the people of the country. They
have given us phenomenal majority, one
showing that they expect us to do much. In
doing this great deal depends upon the
state Of New York and its great metropolis.
The interests of the state and of the party
demand, ii seems to me, the selection of a
senator who cannot only defend the princi-
Piles 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 senator from New York
should be a man not only experienced in
public affairs. but who has clear concep-
tion of the vital issues with which lie must
deal during the next few years.
MURPHY NOT THE MAN.
Speaking frankly, as have already
done to those entitled to know my views, it
does.not seem to me that the selection of
MIR. Murphy shows desire or intention Of
placing In the Senate a man Of such type.
This first use of our power would, fear,
cause much disappointment, not only in
New York, but In the country. The party
ought not to be called upon to face this
when it is considered how much there 10 to
do and what serious difficulties have to be
surmounted before it can be done.n

RUSSIANS WANT A WAR.

TIE PROLONGED PEACE.

Many Of the Alleged Plots Against
the Gear Attributed to the Restless
Feeling IN the Army-Arrests OF AL
legged Conspirators Still Numerous.
Persecution Of the Jews still ia Prog
ress.
ST. PETERSBURG, Dec 27.-Numerous
arrests continue ~ be made at Kieff of per-
sons suspected Of nihilism. Nine more of-
flcers are among the imprisoned. either uns
der suspicion or direct charges Of connec-
tion with conspiracy against the czsr.
The Russian authorities believe that they
have unearthed widespread plot. in which
a number not only OF lower officials, bus
also three of higher rank, are involved, and
many officers having positions OF trust and
confidence near the person Of the czar have
been put under surveillance. although not
under arrest, being given leave Of absencs
from duty.
DIsCoNTENT IN THE ARMY.
There is much discomfort in the army
with the prolonged period of peace and
many Of the officers think that the czar is
too pacific in his disposition. There is
no longer an outlet for these warlike spirits
In subduing the tribes OF Central Asia all
these have been brought thoroughly under
Russian sublectlon. The Russian empire
was never more peaceable, so far as ex-
ternal enemies were concerned, and the re-
gret among army officers is col respondingly
great.
PERSECUTION OF THE JEWS.
Meanwhile the persecution OF the Jews
goes on more earnestly than ever the lead
ing official persecut1r being the Grand
Duke SerRius, brother OF the czar and hus-
band OF Queen Viotoria's granddaughter.
He seems determined to turn every jew out
of the city. The Jewish population Of Mos
COW has already been reduced from about
$4,000, when Grand Duke Sergius
became governor, TO about 30 ,0G0,
and the number continues to decrease
under the added rigor Of the papal laws and
intolerable severity Of their enforcement by
the new law, which has recently been put
in force. Only ten out OF one hundred jew
ish lawyers in Moscow and ST. Petersburg
are allowed to practice, while in Warsaw and
Russian Poland this liberty is wholly denied.
The soldiers detailed to assist the police in
guarding the Jews treat them with the
greatest brutality, and frequently prick the

keeper until a policeman came. who took

in a napkin. He was then allowed TO enter,
after the policeman had explained that he
was justified in his striotness by orders just
issued as regards the protection OF public
