Windsor, N. S., Oct. 19.-The complete
extent of the disaster to the town of
Windsor was not fully disclosed until
Monday morning. In all the fre-swept
district only the courthouse, customs
house and Mounce's hotel stand intact.
A bitter cold wind prevails, and unless
clothing is speedily brought into the
town much suffering will result. Most
of the people burned out escaped with
little wearing apparel. Conservative
estimates place the insurance at 1884,
900, not more than 80 per cent. of the
loss. Monday morning the blackened
and charred skeletons Of two persons
were found near the ruins of a house on
st. Ann street. Further investigation
prove them to be the remains of Patrick
Kelly and his wife, an aged couple.

Mark Hanna will fill the seat in the
Senate to be vacated by Mr.. Sherman
on the 4th of March, and his elevation
to the position is surely in accord
with the fitness of things. He col
lected and disbursed the funds which
made Mr.. Mckinley president, owns
him, it is believed, and as the power
behind the throne, ought to be in a
position TO watch and direct his
movements. The joy we feel in the
prospect of Mr.. Hanna being Senator
is shared by democrats throughout
the land. Everybody wants good
times and we want the republicans
to have every possible opportunity
to make good their promises last fall
of giving them to us. a man, who
could control republican conven-
ton as Max did, and could after
wards buy the presidency as he did,
Of course, is in position to give
greater prosperity to the country
than anyone else could. With both
houses of Congress in the hands of
the republicans, Hanna, Boss of the
Senate, and Mckinley at the other
end of the avenue, the republicans at
least will have no excuse for failure
in giving us the good times which
they have promised us.

General FitZ Lee even, like most of
the democrats of the country, seems
disguised with the present admins
tration, and whether he has resigned
the position of consul-general or not
at Habana, which is now debatable
question among the newspapers Of
the country, enough is known to in
dictate his dissatisfaction with the
delay of our government in giving
protection to citizens Of the United
States in Cuba and q Willingness TO
resign, if the duty which he owed TO
his country did not prevent him. One
thing seems to be certain, that he has
not had from our government the
support which he should have had,
and whether he has resigned or not,
the people of the United States are
indebted to him, as the Richmond
Dispatch says, for being instrumental
in bringing the Cuba question TO
the front again il form III which it
will not down until this government
takes summary steps TO insure the
protection of citizens OF the United
States on the island. That General
Lee is showing up to such an advan-
tage in the matter, even though the
present administration has fallen so
far short of its duty, will be crafty
ing to all Virginians.

\ speech recently made by Hon.
John w. Daniel, on the Arbitration
treaty in the United States Senate,
seems to have Won for him not only
a place in the foremost rank among
the leading orators of this day, but is
generally praised as worthy of the
olden days of the republic, when Clay
and Calhoun and Webster gave fame
and honor to that body. All Viz
ginians, of course, are naturally
proud of him, for the great ability
displayed by him in the treatment
OF the question, but Virginians alone
do not praise the mastery eloQuence
with which it was delivered. 1t is
commended by nearly everyone, the
Baltimore Sun excepted, and that
paper of late years has been too
much out of tune with everything
democratic TO be pleased with any
thing that emanates from democratic
sources. Referring to the speech the
Washington Post says:
Senator Daniel. Of Virginia, has
always been accounted one Of the
orators of the Senate. With musical
and sympathetic voice, a master Of
rhetoric and OF rhv Inn, a vocabulary
of wide extent at his command, and
with easy and appropriate gestures,
he can always secure the attention
OF the Senate. On Friday, however,
while discussing the arbitration trea-
", he surpassed himself. Evidently
not intending, when he began, TO
make a lengthy speech, he soon was
swept by the greatness OF the subject
lie was discussing into Il most in
passioned and eloquent effort, but
his burning words of patriotism, his
tribute TO the greatness OF the coun-
try, and his ardent defiance offereign
seemed like the revivitied
utterances of Washington, Jefferson,
or Madison. During his address the
Senators were clustered around him,
and general regret was expressed
that no stenographic report could be
made.
