ENGLAND'S INTEREST
1t Lies in Alliance With Italy and the
Germans.

Germans.
London, March TIT is held in certain
diplomatic circles that Italy's disaster in
Abyssinia will restore the entente be-
tween Great B r itain and Germany. The
pact that is understood to exist between
Minister Salisbury and Prime Minister
Crispi regarding common maritime
action in the Mediterranean and the
anglo-Italian arrangement relative to
Kassala and the Southern Soudan gives
England special interest in keeping Italy
strong, an interest as strong as Ger
many's, who desires to keep her alley TN
disabled. Before Sianor Crispi concluded
to resign, it appears that he telegraphed
to Lord Salisbury sasking for some form
of effective support in Abyssinia. 1t is
impossible to learn what actual form of
support was asked for, but the British
foreign office certainly received the
night prior to Crispi's fall, long de-
spatches from him, and rumor has it that
he wanted to know whether the British
troops in Egypt could lie sent to tempo
rari1y occupy Kassala and watch the
dervishers while the Italian garrison n t
that place joined the main force opposed
to King Menelek

Flood Echoes.

Augusta, March From the foot of
Swan Island in the vicinity of Rich
mond to Iceboro, distance of nearly
five miles, the Kennebec is one mass
of ice, logs, lumber and wreckage OF
bridges and houses from up the river
There are Is, 600, 600 feet of logs, besides
sawed lumber; and the mass is packed
solid nearly to the bottom
and many feet upon the river banks At
the, head Of: the island theice and logs
are piled upon all sides 20 feet or more.
There is at present a standstill, but
should rain follow or should the anchor
ice collect sufficiently to block the pas
the damage that may ensue.
Representatives of log driving compa-
MES are devising ways and means to save
the logs. The ice Is unsafe to work on
and it will be simply case of wait.
What is needed is good freeze, the lum-
bermen say, so that men and horses can
get down the mass Then few warm
days are needed to melt the snow so that
tho logs now covered out of sight can be
recovered.
Although it is showing today. rain is
| now feared, and a heavy rain fall would
mean the almost certain clogging up of
the river below and the following of
untold damage to Richmond and up river
points. The ice at Merrymeeting Bay
is said to be solid. The ice houses on the
river all remain intact, the principal
damage sustained by the food being con-
fined to the damage done to elevators,
shed and wharves.

nounced the "spy SYSTEM of the past

Mr.. McRae, Democrat of Arkansas,
offered an amendment to increase the

RAVAGANT.

Four Employees Who Senator Chandler
Thinks Cost Too Much.
Washington, March I'm support of
his resolution looking to the retrench-
ment of expenditures in the Senate,
Senator Chandler has sent letter to
Civil Services and Retrenchment, and
Senator Jones, chairman of the COM
mittee ON contingent expenses of the
Senate, in which he calls attention to
the many extravaganza expenditures of
the body he now seeks to have invehti-
gated.
Senator Chandler accompanies his let
ter with table of facts, from which he
| draws some very interesting conclusions
He shows that the total number of en-
ployes under the Senate aggregates 1858,
| among whom are 121 clerks, 81 messen-
gers, 50 laborers, % pages, IS folders and
Is policemen. The other departments are
much smaller, there being, for instance.
| seven mail carriers, eight watchmen,
five conductors of elevators, four messen-
gers acting as assistant door keepers
four assistant engineers, FIVE fireinen,
etc. According to the figures submI tied
to the committee by Mr.. Chandler, the
Senate employees receive about S4S2, 100
| annually.
| sit will be seen by these figures" Mr..
| Chandler says, "that there are about
four employees Of each of the 80 Senators.
1t must be manifest to you upon the
briefest possible consideration given to
the subject that the force is excessive and
extravagant. What are 81 messengers
and 50 laborers doing? 1t cannot be possi-
BILE that they are all usefully employed,
| giving full service for the money received
| by them"
| Mr.. Chandler then proceeds to compare
| the pay roll of the Senate employees with
the expenses of the military academy at
West Point. That bill carries an appro.
priation of 1892, 439 for the pay roll and
current and ordinary expenses, including
the salary of S15 cadets, at $40 year.
The naval academy bill carries an appro-
priation for like purposes of $685., 618.
These expenses, Mr.. Chandler says, in
olude all the expenditures for the main
| tenance Of the schools except the salaries
Of the military and naval officers On duty.

the public Indignation at the awful Ere

the knowledge that this policy compelled
the cabinet to maintain Italy in the role
of humble servant, or tender to the
Triple Alliance, that is, Germany and
Austria, while deepening the ditch which
separated the peninsula from France. her
natural ally. The newspapers devoted to
Crispi have never ceased, among other at
