The New Louisiana Senator.

WASHINGTON, March S.--Representative
Blanchards associates in the house heard
with much satisfaction of his elevation to
the senate. Speaker Crisp expressed re-
greet that the house was to lose such a val
liable and hard working member.
It is settled that Representative Catch
ings of Mississippiwill succeed Mr.. Blanch-
ard as chairman of the important river and
and harbor committee. Mr.. Catchings has
been on the committee ever since he Ell
tered congress-10 years ago-and is next
in order to Mr.. Blanchard. Word reached
here that Mr.. Blanchard was on his way to
Washington. Mr.. Blanchard had expect
ed the senatorial appointment from the
time Senator Whites nomination to the
bench was announced He did not dis
guise his hope and expectation, but at once
set about making an active canvass for the
place. Mr.. Blanchard's position on tariff
and silver will give additional interest to
his entrance to the senate. He voted for
the Wilson bill, despite the fact that it
bore heavily against the sugar interests of
his state.
He worked diligently to change the sugar
schedule, but failing in this he would not
follow the course of some of his Louisiana
associates in voting against the entire bill
On silver Mr.. Blanchard has always voted
with the radical free silver men, so that he
will undoubtedly ally himself with that
element in the senate.

ton to the Salvation Army wood yard.
Several trees that stood around his prop
erty have been cut down and ten or fifteen
men are at work to-day saving them into

AT the request of Street Inspector
Kelley the Waterbury Traction company

A few of Mr. Feldt's friends and members f
the Concordia society surprised him at his
residence last night and celebrated the
event with songs, speeches and general
good time. Mr. Feldt WIS presented with
ha ldsome pair of gold trimmed spectacles.

ton speech and the recipient responded
with few grateful remarks. Among the

Hauser, Paul MeerlanGer, John ORES cher
and John Kunkel
The other evening Street Inspector
Kelley was notified that large portion of
the sidewalk on Lawrence street had caved
in and that travel there was quite danger
Gus. The in< pector visited the place and
put up the necessary safeguards to warn
people of the dangerous condition of the
place. On Investigation the inspector
learned that the sidewalk had given way
because certain contractor found the
sand under the sidewalk just right for his
business and had dug in from the James
street side causing the sidewalk to fall as
soon as the frost left the place. Mr. Kelley
called on the contractor and ordered him
to put the walk in proper shape at once.
The man did not hesitate to repair the
place, and to-day a large force of men are
at work filling the pitfall and the wonder
is that some one was not killed there
when the ground gave way. woman and
child had just passed over the place when
it caved in, making n hole in the street
about twenty feet in length and thirty OF
forty feet deep.

PRESENTED AT COURT.
Something About the Honor Conferred
Inon Mr.. HaNards Private Secretary.

Something About the Honor Conferred
Upon MIR. Bayard's Private Secretary.
The correspondent who went to the
trouble and expense of cabling the dis
patch from London to the American pa
pers about the extraordinary diplomacy
required to secure the presentation to
the queen of Lloyd Griscom of Philadel-
phia, Mr.. Bayard's private secretary, is
evidently not very we'll acquainted at
the American embassy. According to
the dispatch. Mr.. Griscom's position is
not of the official kind that entities him
to presentation as matter of course,
and Mr.. Bayard was only able to arrange
it by introducing the young man to Lord
Rosebery and having him dine with his
lordship, who then benignantly arranged
for the private secretary's presentation
at some drawing room in the near fu-
ture.
Inquiry at the American embassy
would have informed the enterprising
correspondent that Mr.. Griscom was en-
titled to presentation as a member of our
ambassadors official family, and that as
q matter of fact he had been presented
last May without the necessity for re-
sorting to any official circumlocution.
His predecessors in the position of secre-

me english at Bluetields.

WASHINGTON, March S.-The resolution
of inquiry concerning the British at Blue
fields introduced in the senate by Mr.. Nor
gan was the result of the discussion of this
subject by the senate foreign relations
committee. There is an apprehension in
the minds of senators that the English
government is making an effort to obtain
a footing on the eastern coast of the 18TH
mus in violation of the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty, and the action of the committee is
directed toward securing whatever infor-
nation the state department may have
upon the subject. Senator Morgan is es-
peciauy jealous of any movement on the
part of a foreign government W hich might
affect the Nicaraguan canal, and probably
nothing could happen to give him greater
concern than for England to secure foot
hold in that region.

RlOTOUS STUDENTS.
ZoIa's Successful Rival Unpopular in the
Latin Quarter.

Latin quarter.
PARIS, March S.-The lecture of NJ. Fer
dinand Brunetiere at the Sorbonne was
listened to without any disturbance,
though in view of the riotous demonstra-
ton of Wednesday last some trouble was
anticipated. Nj. Brunetiefe will be re
membered as the new member of the
French academy who defeated NJ Emile
lola recently in the contest for the seat
made vacant by the death of John Emile
Lemoinne.
Although the students behaved them
selves during the lecture, after NJ. Bru-
netiere has closed his remarks the medical
and science students made an attack upon
the literary students. and SeveSal sharp
conflicts followed. Finally the medical
students crossed the bridges and made a
manifestation in front of the offices of'The
Figaro, one of the most important news
papers in this city edited by NJ. Francis
Maynard.
The students demonstration in front of
The Figaro offices was caused by the fact
that NJ. Maynard had allowed the publ
cation of an article favorable to NJ. Bruno
there.
For a time it looked as if the students
would make an attack upon The Figaro
offices, but strong force of police was hur-
ried to the spot, and the students were
driven back to the Latin quarter, where
they caused a great deal of disturbance.
