Mr.. Chandler Wants n Reason.

Scarcely had Mr.. Allen concluded, when
Mr.. Chandler N.H) precipitated lively
scene. He thought the action Of the COM
mittee on foreign relations indicated some
doubt and indecision. Yesterday the COM
mittee thought new call of the consular
reports ought to be made; today it thought
the call ought to be withdrawn.
THE first CALL" said Mr.. Chandler, was
made in resolution presented by the GER
tIeman from Alabama (Morgan) on Feb
ruary IA. On the following day at $40
2. m. an answer to that call for informa-
ton came from Spain"-a significant refer
Ell ce to the Maine disaster.
Mr.. Chandler thought the Senate and the
country were not without information They
had been informed of the conditions in
Cuba by members of the Senate who had
seen with their own eyes and heard with
their own ears all the horrors in Cuba
They had rendered the greatest possible
service to the country and to humanity
Il have the fullest confidence in the COM
mittee on foreign relations" said Mr.
Chandler. Il have confidence that the
PRESIDENT intends to pursue patriotic and
righteous course in the present emergency
and shall thank God when he reaches a
conclusion of some sort or another. There
powers that be. wait upon the committee
on foreign relations but I do think
that as that committee deemed 1t advisable
yesterday to make second call for the
consular correspondence, and has now
reached the conclusion that the second call
should not be made, the committee ought
to give US some reason for the delay"

senthal ofBaitmore. The store was closed
as soon as the deal had been consumrnatetl.
and the new owner at once ordered an ac-
count Of stock To- be taken. 1t is the pur-
pose OF Mr. RosepthaL who is member of
the firm OF Strauss Bros, large dealers in

money out Of the stock than If he tried to

conn ection that the executors have realized
from the business between thirty and forty
thousand dollars more than the best offer
received when the property was offered for

We are too apt to praise the

the bravery of those who had
a chance, forgetting that ly-
ing in camps patriotic men
were waiting and anxious to
serve their country. These
showed their love of country
by enlistment and could they
have been at the front, no
doubt would have won laurels
along with those who have
covered themselves with

their leaders who offer their
