CHANDELIERS PREDICTION.
He Foresees That the United States
Must Fight England

Concord, y. H, oct. 2.-Over his own
signature and under the caption "Our
Coming War With England-A Predic-
ton" Senator Chandler gave out the fol-
lowing statement last night:
War between the United States and En-
gland is inevitable. II will arise on ac-
count of British disregard of our direct
interests. IL viii also be forced by Brit
ish encroachments upon other nations all
over the world IL viii be fought by us,
having Russia as a European ally. As
war offensive on our part il may not hap
pen within twenty years; as a defensive
war it may come sooner. and should be
welcomed. A sure result will be the cap
ture and permanent acquisitionk of Can
ada by the United States. England pro-
poses TO seize from the United States a
portion of Alaska She is destroying indie
pendent governments in all parts of the
globe. She treats American sentiment and
remonstrance with insolence and de-
hance.
For the vindication of the Monroe doc
trine in the Western hemisphere and the
protection of those independent govern
ments in the Eastern hemisphere and the
islands of the ocean, ii is necessary that
the United States should prepare for war
with England. 1t had better come now
and be over than twenty years from now.
We ought to define our position and say
that if not assented to we shall fight TO
maintain it.
1T will take some time 10 prepare for
an offensive war. but a defensive war can
come none too soon. Let England begin.
Russia will be our sure ally. She is the
great absolute monarchy and the
United States the great republic
OF the world. The former needs
and is entitled TO a seaport IN
warm region, of which England persist
emily deprives her, but she wants no
more territory. The United states wants
the Hawaiian islands and footboid IN
the West Indies. Together they can defy
the world They must and Will restrain
the brutality and bloody avarice OF Great
Britain Let this he understood at once,
and let England strike the first blow II
she chooses million of men and mus
kets Will overrun Canada, ana EhSlahu
commercial ships will be swept from the
ocean. Let England begin. We ought 10
begin IL il is necessary q! save 10 Nehe-
zuela the mouth of the Orinoco."
