CHANDLER A COWARD.
BY His Own Confession the Mckin-
ley Men BIuffed Him.

BY His own Confession the McKin-
ley Men BIufYed Him.
CONCORD, N. H., April 1.-Senator Chan
dler today wrote Senator Lodge, explaining
the action of the state convention in indors-
ing both Reed and Mckinley, saying that
the plank was concession of the Reed men
to the Mckinley sentiment Senator Chandler
says he acquiesced in the concession, though
he knows it to have been cowardly, as the
Reed men outnumbered the Mckinley men.
Senator Chander's letter is dated March
81, and is mainly a recital Of certain Incl
dents happening prior to the meeting of the
convention in regard to the matter in con-
troversy. The senator's letter concludes as
follows:
81 confess I was unprepared at the mo-
ment of entering the convention for the
device which was the ultimate development
of the Mckinley movement in New Hamp-
shire. Our self-restraint was cowardly. 1t
was the opinion of good judges, and it
was clear to me after all the delegates had
assembled in the hall and cheered first
the name of Reed and later the name of
Mckinley, that the convention was for
Reed two or three to one. l have acquesced
in such an act of cowardice once before
When we allowed to pass a resolution at
the New Hampshire convention in 1877 that
the Hayes administration was good and pure
rather than to have a bitter controversy
over the question whether its conduct had
been dishonorable in surrendering to Demo-
cratic usurpers the lawful government of
Louisiana and South Carolina. saw and
denounced another such act of cowardice
when, on the foolish pretext that it was
necessary in order to count in Hayes, it
was agreed by Ohio statesmen to make the
aforesaid surrender of the two lawful South
ern governments. Hayes and Packard and
Chamberlain might have all been saved if
the Republicans had shown the courage
of their convictions. So the mongrel reso-
lutions might have been easily defeated if
men had not cried peace when honest man
ly warfare was required. But the delegates
are all for Reed, and I don't think that
Hanna can capture any of them at any stage
of the contest" -

WASHINGTON, April IAN adverse report
was today made on Congressman kiefer's bill
granting to the state of Minnesota in per-
petuity the old buildings and grounds which
constitute the original Fort Smelling. to be
from the house committee on military affairs
used for a state museum. The report is
based on the opinion of Secretary of War La
mont, who makes an unfavorable recommen-
dation on the bill, stating that ''the buildings
and grounds referred to are valuable part
OF the military reservation OF Fort Smelling
and cannot be given up without detriment to
the interests of the government. The old
buildings that have an historical value would
be preserved in any event, and can be utilized
in case of necessity as shelter for battalion
of troops" In view of the unfavorabIe re-
port from the committee it is not likely that
the bill on which Col Kiefer has Iabored so
industriously will become law at this ses-
sion of congress-
Congressman Tawney, of the First district
returned this morning. Concerning the nu.
merous communications pouring into congress
lately indorsing the Wilbur filled cheese bill.
Mr.. Tawney says: ''The truth of the matter
is the Wilbur bill is exactly similar to the
original oleomargarine bill, the only change be-
ing that the words filled cheese have been
inserted for oleomargarine My bill is consid-
cred an improvement and has stronger back
ing than the Wilbur bill'' At a special
meeting of the ways and means committee
tomorrow morning Mr.. Tawney's bill will be
considered and favorable action probably
taken.

CHAUNCEY JOKER DEPEw.
His Political Views as Given ON the
First Day of April

DELMoNTE, CAL, April 1.-Chauncey M.De-
pew was interviewed today regarding a can
vass made by the San Francisco Examiner
of the prominent Republicans of California
which apparently showed the sentiment of the
state to be overwhelmingly in favor of Nc
Kinley. Let me see," he said, This is the
1st of April. The Republican national conven-
ton does not meet until June 16-now there
is such thing as a man running so fast as
to be out of breath when the time comes to
jump. Mckinley is a good man, and I have
no doubt but that he will have the largest
number of votes on the first ballot. If II
turns out that Mckinley, on the second ballot
does not carry the. convention by storm. the

Special to the Globe
HURON, S. D., April IA renewed effort
on the part of Gov. Sheldon and number
of others is being made to force DR.. Lewis
McLouth to retire from the presidency of the
State Agricultural college, hoping thereby to
push" him out of the state, and thus rid
themselves of what is now thorn in their
fesh." 1t is very certain, however, that
should DR.. McLouth leave the college, he will
remain in South Dakota, for he has been
rendered position at the head of en- enter
prise that will keep him more prominently be-
fore the public than does the one he now oc-
cupies. The tender is for a three years con-
tract and he is urged to accept, the renumera-
tion being far in excess of his present salary.

HAWAIIAN CABLE.
The Senate Committee Unable to
Agree Upon ANY RepOrt,

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The senate COM
mittee on foreign relations today failed to
agree to report any bill for a cable to Ha-
waii. This result was reached after an ex-
citing meeting, and caused considerable feel
ing among members. There were two bal
lots taken. The advocates of cable do not
admit that the adverse vote will result in
anything more serious than temporary de-
lay, and say they will be able to get together
on the proposition in some shape. 1t is
suggested that the contesting companies may
be joined in the bill. and their friends thus
united.
