Mr. Chambers talk made an opening
for the Brooklyn Eagle which recites
little history. Mr.. Chandler" says the
Eagle, has been a brave man all his
life except when he has been opposed.
When he speaks about the Hayes affair
he touches a subject with which he is
familiar" Then the Eagle recites that
the scheme to elect Hayes by claiming
Florida and Louisiana was communi-
Gated to Mr.. Chandler at o'clock on
the morning after election by Mr.. John
G. Reid of the New York
Times, and that, after talking
IL over, the two men went to
the Fifth avenue hotel. where they
unfolded II to Zach" Chandler. then
the chairman of the republican national
committee. The approval of zach"
Chandler having been obtained, Will
liam E. Chandler and Mr.. Reid went to
a telegraph office and sent word to
leading republicans in Florida, South
Carolina and Louisiana to 'claim and
hold everything" William E. Chandler

to some of those dispatches. Later on
Mr.. Chandler went to Florida. He was
in funds; but the Eagle says that in
one of his dispatches he called for
three thousand dollars in large bills.

After patient discussion, the house of
representatives gave an overwhelming
vote in favor of the conference resolu-
ton respecting Cuba. There are sena-
tors and members of the lower house
who favored measures much more radi-
cal than those which result from the
conference. AS ii is, this government
will take a conservative position-one
which will undoubtedly be approved al
most universally by the people of the
United States. We shall hear of a re-
newal of turmoil in Spain; American
flags will be torn up and probably as
saults will be made on consular resi-
dences. However. the impulsive people
who engage in this foolish business will
probably be kept under reasonable re-
straint by the Spanish authorities. The
action of the government at Washing
ton will greatly strengthen the cause
OF the Cuban patriots-and that is
what the American people want.

THE CRANKY CRITIC.

Well know that food digested
Enters into what We are;
What we eat is reinvested,
As the sunlight in the star.
In our meat and vegetables
Is the thought that never dies.
Which in after-time enables
Man to write upon the skies.
In the daily bread and butter,
In the lowly onion bed.
Sleep the thoughts that men will utter.
Which will live when men are dead
In a COW, which milkmaid's fingers
Have for ages pressed at morn
And at dewy eve there fingers
Prose and poems yet unborn.
Thoughts OF this kind come unbidden,
As read. beneath the trees,
Poetry, with pigs-feet hidden
In Its dactyls and spondees.

THINGS NEW AND OLD.

1t appears that the New Hampshire
republicans fooled Mr.. Chandler-he ad-
mits II. The senator went from Wash
ington to Concord. having first gone on
record in severe denunclation OF Nc
Kinley's campaign methods. He had no
suspicion of controversy-he had an
nounced that New Hampshire's support
of Reed would be solid. He SAYS now
that he was deceived by the members
that he learned too late of what was
proposed and that he hardly wanted to
precipitate a fight in open convention.
In other words. Mr.. Chandler was
pretty badly done up by his own people.
After thinking it all over, the senator
is sorry that he did not make a fight in
the convention. He wrote a letter TO
Senator Lodge In which he says: This
explanation may not be satisfactory
but IL is all l can make. i confess |

a VIOLENT GALE
Raging Along the atlantic Coast-First
Blizzard of the Season.

New YORK, Dec ia violent storm
born on the gulf of Mexico struck
this city Tus,day night. The storm
moved slowly northward during the
day, and in the evening was central
at Norfolk, Va. and still NOV
ing slowly northward. There was
rain along the southern coast and
at Norfolk there was l. 80 inches. Hur-
ricane signals tioated along the great
er part of the Atlantic coast, for the
storm threatened great danger to ship
ping.
In this city the temperature was at
the freezing point, and the wind
blew at SO miles an hour
At Sandy Hook it was AZ miles
and the same at Nantucket, while
at Block island, which is almost al
ways the point on the coast where the
wind is the strongest when there is a
big storm, it was blowing at 60 miles
an hour.
From Egg Harbor, N. j., it was re-
ported that the storm promises to be
one of the worst ever known
there. The thermometer has fallen
"a degrees, and the wind is blowing
40 miles an hour, and constantly in
creasing. Constant hurries of snow
fill the air. Everything along the
coast has been made ready. The life
saving patrols have been dou bled in
anticipation of wrecks, and every man
notified to be on duty. The only
wreck SO far reported is that of the
coal-laden schooner Grace X. Green,
which was abandoned between Long

were taken off by the Old Dominion

whatever support is secured in this city
