HOW BRICE is ACCUSED.
Democrats Say He is Altogether Too
Fond of Hill.

NEW YORK. Feb. 1.-Senator Calvin
Brice's course in regard to Hill during the
last few weeks has led great many peo-
pie to say that the Ohio Senator is not a
sagacious political leader He has become
apparently completely infatuated with
Hill. He danced attendance on him in
Washington, deferred to his wishes en-
tirely regarding the place for holding the
Democratic National Convention, and, has
declared that the Ohio delegation will be a
unit for support for Hill at Chicago. Nat
urally these things are extremely irrita-
ting to a great many Democrats, besides
the friends of Cleveland, who until re-
Gently looked upon Brice rs an ally.
These men say that Brice has entirely
forgotten the position which he holds as
chairman of the national committee. He
has no business, they declare, TO make
known his preference for one candidate or
another. He should have maintained n
strictly neutral position, and because he
has not movement has been started for
his retirement. One influential party
organ mas come out flat-footed against
him, insisting that If Brice has openly, or
even tacitly, committed himself to Hills
robust but absurd ambition the sooner the
change is made the better for the party.
This is plain talk about a man who spent
a comfortable fortue for his party in the
last national campaign, but IL is heard on
all sides at present.

ONLY BRITISH COLORS.
Bridgeport Thinks il Has an Inter-
national Episode,

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Feb. This city
thinks il has an international episode be-
cause Capt. George Trowbridge of the
British schooner Glendon didn't fly the
American colors when he sailed into port.
The Glendon brings load of lumber from
st. John, n. b., and the only colors she
showed were rnose OF the Englisn JACK.
Ii is the established custom, which Is
almost as sacred rs law, that foreign
vessel entering an American port shall fly
the United States flag in addition to her
home colors. People shouted their indig-
nation and rushed breathlessly to the
armory of the Fourth Regiment Connec-
ticut National Guard, and demanded that
the militia he called out to haul down the
jack and hoist the Stars and Stripes.
The captain became enraged at the
cries of "Tear down that dirty rag and
hoist decent flag" and swore he would
shoot any man who attempted IL. The
guardsmen even tried TO board the
schooner. The ardor of the citizens in
creased until large American flag was
hoisted on nearby vessel and cheered.
The British Jack still floats from the
Glendon.

Wreck OF the Victoria = To-Day's
Doings In Lands Across Seas.

LONDON, Feb. 1.-The North German
Lloyd steamship Elder, from New York
TO Bremen, is ashore on Atherfield rock
nine miles west of Vetnor, Isle of Wight
Details of the wreck are meagre, but life
boats have been sent TO the steamers aid
and it is believed all on board will be
saved.
The steamer went ashore at 10 o'clock
last night during a heavy fog and now lies
with her bow and stern in comparatively
deep water, while the midship section rests
on ledge 1t is supposed she was carried
into her present position by a heavy sea,
but il is not vet known how she came To
be so far ont OF her course.
Atherfield rocks are not with or direct
telegraphic communication and details OF
the accident are difficult to obtain. Tug
boats have been sent from Portsmouth
and Southampton to Elders relief and to
take of the passengers and mail. The
agent of the line in this city reports that
the Elder is lying in an easy position and
is believed TO have sustained no serious
damage. They say there was no panic
among the passengers as it was soon seen
there was no immediate danger IL is be
lieved steamer will be fioated at next high
tide.
LATER-The situation of the stranded
steamer is becoming more dangerous this
afternoon. The gale is increasing aud the
sea is running very high. All the mails
have been landed sSfely and from this IL is
supposed all the passengers are safe also.

CHILE B0RR0WS MONEY.
To Build a Railway from Iquique to
Valparaiso.
READY FOR THE NEXT WAR.
The London, Berlin and Amsterdam Mar
kets Are Expected to Float the Great
Loan-A Lesson Learned From the Re-

PARIS: Feb Lit is confidently report
ed here that Chile is taking steps to float
loan of s25, 100000 to build a railway
from Valparaiso to Iquique, distance of
1000 miles. The line is to pass through
Coquimbo, Taltal, Chimba, Cobija, TOGO
pilla and other towns along the coast.
The reasons for this move are twofold.
The little Southern Republic has reflected
that if the trouble with the United States
had not ended peaceably troops could
have been landed at Iquique and found
the country defenceless. II was from
Iquique, too, that was conducted the re-
volt against Balmaceda.
AS the Congressionalists had the navy
on their side Balmaceda was unable to get
at them, as il was impossible to march an
army across the arid desert separating
Iquique from the rest of the country.
The loan will be foated in the London,
Berlin aud Amsterdam markets, where il
will doubtless readily be taken up.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. -Four af the
local sealing feet got away yesterday and
seventeen other vessels will sail soon.

are now reported plentiful. Then, just
before Behring Sea is reached, they will
make a course for the Japan Sea, where
they will seal and rendezvous until news

The SENATORIAL TOPIC
Senator Aldrich's Visit Increases thu
Interest In 1t.
IT'S EITHER HE OR WETMORE,
Statements That Senator AIdrich Still Has
Strong Inclination to Retire from
Public Life His Friends Think He
Onght Not To DO So, However.

The visit of Senator Nelson w. Aldrich
TO the city has of course added TO the in
terest in the coming election of United
Strtes Senator from Rhode Island.
Senator Aldrich spent great part of to-
day at his residence at the corner of Benev-
olent and Cooke streets.
In regard to State politics the Senator is
disinclined to talk very much, and he
also says he is not ready at present to say
a great deal for publication III regard to
the Senatorial question.
Ii is reported among politicians that
Senator Aldrich has not entirely made up
his mind whether he will again be a can
didate for the Office.
A year ago he stated that he wished TO
retire TO private life, and it is stated that
be still wishes to do so. and would feel it
somewhat of q sacrifice TO go back to
Washington. 1t Is also stated that his
friends, who are very numerous, have
urged him to accept the denomination, but
that he does not feel that it is at all nee
essary to success in the election for him to
accept. The inference is the natural one
that the Republicans will elect the sena-
tor whether the candidate be Aldrich or
Wetmore, or some other good man.
There is no doubt but that decision
will be reached very soon, and that Sena-
tor Aldrich will either let il be known
positively that he is in the fight to stay,
or that he will persist in his plan of going
out of politics. III the latter course is
taken it will be made known in a formal
manner. IL Mr.. Aldrich concludes to re-
tire, which his friends do not think at all
likely, ex-Gov. Wetmore will in all prob
ability be the Republican candidate-in
fact there is scarcely doubt of il.
One Of the chief arguments for the re-
tention of Senator Aldrich is the fact that
the tariff is certain to be the biggest issue
on which the State and national cam
paigns will be conducted, and the Senator
has been so prominently identified with
the Republican policy of protection to
American industry that he is needed at
Washington
