The New York Herald has been maxi
the position of the various members as
to intervention in Cuba, and the views
of New England congressman will be
read with interest. 1t appears that in
all, 26 senators and SS representatives
favor intervention and believe force nee
essary. In this category are Chandler
Of New Hampshire, Frye Of Maine and
Lodge of Massachusetts, The others
are mostly westerners, including BILLY
Mason of Illinois. Gallinger of New
Hampshire is for annexation by force.
There are 80 senators and 100 repre-
sentatives who want information from
the president as to Cuba before COM
mitting themselves to any policy. In
this class are Senators Aldrich and Wet
more of Rhode Island, Hale of Maine,
Hawley and Platt of Connecticut, Hoar
of Massachusetts, Morrill, and Proctor Of
Vermont, together with a majority of
the men who represent the ability and
conservatism of the senate. Barrows
and Moody of Massachusetts, are the
only New Englanders given in the list
of those who would intervene and ex-
pect war to follow. Lowering Of Mas
sachusets and Capron of Rhode Island
think intervention possible with peace.
Mccall and Walker of Massachusetts
and Sulloway of New Hampshire are
quoted as favoring the recognition of
Cuban independence at once. Barrett
Of Massachusetts proposes joint inter
vention with the European powers, an
extraordinary expression to come from
the Melrose statesman. Among the rep
resentatives who are waiting for infor-
nation before announcing their position
are Reed, Boutelle, Burleigh and Ding
ley Of Maine, Fitzgerald, Gillett, Knox,
Sprague and Weymouth OF Massachu-
sets, Henry, Hill, Russell and Sperry
of Connecticut. From the long list of
non-committals it might be argued that
there is a tolerably large body of men
in congress, well-disposed towards peace
and conservative action, despite the at
tempt Of a section Of the press to stam-
pede the representatives of the people.

The retirement OF H. Walter Webb
from the position of third vice president
and chief of the operating department
of the New York Central Railroad,
seems to mark the end of a remarkable
career. His rise in the railroad busi-
ness has been very rapid, and had his
be expected to succeed Chauncey NJ.
Depew as president of the road. The
settlement of the great strike Of 1890
was the most conspicuous incident in his
busy life, but his untiring energy and
unfailing tact and judgment were what
commended him to the Vanderbilts. I'm
remitting zeal and overwork have made
him an invalid for a year past.

Chicago University has been running
behind at the rate Of 100000 year, and
John D. Rockefeller has been asked to
add $5.OOOO0O to the Sc, ,0OO, 600 he has al
ready given to this ambitious lnstitu-
tion. Several departments of the uni
versity have proved expensive, notably
the Yerkes observatory and the Brush
Medical College. There is money
enough devoted to special purposes, it
would appear, but painful lack Of
funds for general administration.
Though the annual outlay at Chicago
seems to be less than at Harvard, Presi-
dent Harper has been compelled to ac-
quire the begging habit in as acute form
as that which has distinguished Presi-
dent Eliot. Johns Hopkins University,
too, is SO hard up that application to
the Maryland legislature for support
was deemed necessary. Just at pres
ent, Columbia, over which the Hon. Seth
Low presides, seems to be the most
fourishing of all the great universities
from a financial standpoint.

WORCESTER.
MONDAY, MARCH rs, 1898.

The death Of Representative John
Hmpkins, Of the thirteenth congress
sional district will come as shock to
many who did not suppose that his
condition was So serious as this an
nouncement implies. Mr.. Simpkins was
a wealthy, bright and well disposed
young man, who has had little op-
portunity to distinguish himself during
his brief career in Washington, whether
he had the capacity to win fame or not.
Whether his would-be successor will
now have a clear field or not, remains
to be seen.

The New York Herald maintains that
Spain would have no more right to pre-
vent our sending food to the Cubans
than England would have had to stop the
ships we sent to succor the famishing in
Ireland, or Russia to turn back the ships
laden with -four and provisions that we
sent to the starving subjects Of the car,
some years ago. All the same, the Herald
thinks Spain will be very likely to inter-
fere with our charitable designs,
whether the supplies are sent in war
ships or in merchant vessels conveyed
by warships Hence the dim prospect of
maintaining peace That Spain will at
the last moment wink at this ostensibly
peaceful method of Intervention is the
principle hope of those who still think
that war may possibly be averted, 1t is
a very narrow margin to bank on.

NOT LOOKING FOR A JOB.
A HOyoke Man Who is Not Candidate
for Mr.. CAROLS Place.

Tt has been reported that Superintendent
Search was wanted by the Worcester
schools, and that committee had worked
upon him here to see If he would accept
an appointment as superintendent Of the
Worcester schools. When seen yesterday
afternoon, he said 1t was the first he had
heard about the matter. No one had wait
ed upon him, he said; nor had he received
any direct offer. 1t is a well known fact
that the city of Worcester is looking for a
new superintendent, and one of the papers
there recently mentioned Mr.. Search S
name as among the candidates. That is
as far as the matter has gone. Mr.. Search
Is well satisfied with his position here and
indeed, he ought to be. The Union an
nounced some weeks ago that 1t might be
necessary for the superintendent to re-
sign on account of his health, the climate
here not agreeing with him. But in case
ne decided to leave the local schools,
which is improbable, he would probably go
further away than Worcester. Springfield
