WASHINGTON LETTER.
IRON, Our Regular Correspondent.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON. D. c., Apr. 81, 1898. !.
War is upon u.s." These
words of Senator Elkins, WHO
has been conspicuous as a peace
lnan-.-there are now no peace
n1en---exactly describe the sltua-
ton. The limit allowed Spain
to. reply to the ultimatum for
warded by President Mckinley,
demanding the immediate eyacu-
alton of Cuba in accordance with
the joint resolution adopted by
congress and signed by the presi-
dent, expires Saturdays and On
Sunday Cuba will probably be in
a state of blockade, and likely to
continue in the same condition
until it is captured by the U. S..
How soon it will be taken will
depend largely upon how soon an
army that is considered sufficient
E1y strong to successfully co-oper-
ate with our naval forces can be
ready for er1barkation at the
southern ports, towards, which
they are now being hurried night
and day. The advance responses
to the call for troops is more than
gratifying. 1t shows that one
million men could have beer
secured as easily as the number
the president deems sufficient.
| There is no excitement ! il
Washington, but the patriotic
enthusiasm is unparalleled, There
are more q. S. flags fying in the
city than were ever before seer
even on inauguration days, and
but one sentimspltvas expressed
that the fghtingl be started a
once and be, pushed to speedy

an alliance would be powerful
enough to maintain universal
peace, and tile fighting element
because it would be strong
enough to lick all creation. It is
the belief of well-inforned per-
sons that the question of forming
an Anglo-American alliance is
likely to become very slive one
before the end of the war. with
Spain. This may or may not be
true, but the subject is being
much discussed in Washington.

these bills are urged by the Board of
Trade OF the city.
The farmers may come again before
the Legislature with their bill to secure
lower freight rates from the Delaware
railroad. Such a bill was before the last
Legislature, but did not pass. 1t pro:
vided for an appointment of Railroad
Commission to fix freight and passenger
rates. 1t is claimed by some persons
that such a bill, even if passed, would
be declared void, BY the terms OF the
contract or charter between the State OF
Delaware and the Delaware railroad
there is a maximum freight and passen-
ger rate. At present the railroad com
pany, it is said, is charging about onl ly
one-third of this rate, and the claim is
made that, as it has not violated the con-
tract it has with the State, a law to reg
ulate freight and passenger rates would
not stand the test OF the courts.-Wil-

Speakers of the two Houses. Then
comes the clerks, reading clerks, and
other officers. The session will be a
short one made so by the provisions of
the new Constitution and strange to say
the Republican party came as near as a
hair capturing both branches of that
body.
Probably it is just as well that the
Republicans were not successful in cap
turing both Houses this time. As
the Legislature is made up at this ses-
sion, no partisan bills can be passed by
either party, which should insure a
victory for the Republican party at the
coming election next June. The onlv
bad feature of the State handed over to
the Republican party is that it is bank
rupt, and the Republicans are expected
to SO economically manage it that the
debt contracted by the Democrats shall
be cancelled. Daily Republican.

One week from this evening the mem
bers of the General Assembly will meet
at Dover for the purpose of holding eau
cuses to select officers of the two houses.
On the following morning the General
Assembly, as provided for in the new
constitution, will meet for the first time.
The work of furnishing the two halls so
as to accommodate the increased num-
ber of members has been nearly COM
pleted and the rooms will be ready by
the time the organization is effected
There will be great difference be-
tween this coming Legislature and the
ones which have previously met in
Dover. The old Senate was composed of
three members from each county, max
ing nine members in all. The new Sen
ate will be composed of two members
from Wilmington, five from rural New
Castle county and five each from Kent
and Sussex counties, making total Of
seventeen members, or nearly twice az
many as the old Senate. There are 6
number of candidates for speaker of the
Senate, the most prominent being Johr
Pyle and Charles II. Salmon, OF New
Castle county and Stephen Slaughter, o
Kent county. The chances appear to b.
in favor of Slaughter. For clerk the mos
prominent candidate is Woodburn Mar
tin, of Sussex county, and very little ha
been said of the other officers. As DR.
Hiram K. Burton has filed contest TO
the seat of Senator-elect Franklin c
Maull that will probably be one of tn
first matters disposed Of. Just how
will be handled is not known, as Maui
will be unable to vote upon his own con
, test, which will leave eight Democrat
and eight Republicans to vote on tn
matter. The Democrats will keep cor
troll of the Senate if possible.
There will also be difference in tn
, House. 1t was formerly composed {
seven members from each county, max
, ing total of twenty-one. Now it wi
. consist of five members from Whining
, ton, ten from rural New Castle count
and ten each from Kent and SUISSE
, counties, making a total of thirty-fv
, members, which is fourteen more tina
the membership under the old system
, The House will also have contest
' decide, for Elwood G. Killen. of Ker
3
I seating of George G. Herring. 1t is nc
g believed, even by the Democrats, ths
the contest will amount to much. Repre-

SEVENTY ARE LOST.
Missing Steamer Londonian Carried
Crew Of Fifty and TWen-
ty Passengers.

Boston, Mass, Dec. 5.-The steamship
LondOnian of the Wilson-F urness-Ley-
land line, which is reported lost in mid
ocean, sailed from this port for London
on November 10, with a cargo of general
merchandise valued at 100000. She
carried crew of forty men. The Lon
DOMAIN was a four-masted steel vessel of
3614 tons net, and 1882 tons gross, and
was formerly the Idaho. She was $50
feet long. and was built at Glasgow in
1896: Capt. E. B. Lee commanded the
LOndOnian.
Agent Burnett of the line to which the
steamer belonged SAYS:
we have received only the same news
chat has come to the newspapers and we
have no reason to believe other than
that the ship is lost. We have not a list
mere OF the officers or Of the crew. as all
those matters were booked across. but
we believe that the Londonian carried a
crew, including officers and men, of about
nlty, and there were also twenty cattle
men aboard. From the nature of the
report L should judge that the men had
got themselves off in boats, and they
or at least some of them, may be alive
yet.
The ship was valued at from $3.50. 900
to S4OO,00O, and [ suppose she was in
sured. She carried miscellaneous car
go, chiefly of Western grain. which was
shipped through Fred Brown and Mr.

C1ude Peace Negotiations.
Washington. D. c.. Dec 5.-The i'm
preston prevails here that the results of
the negotiations at Paris will be embod-
led in two or more treaties, instead of
one. There will be one actual peace
treaty. embodying nothing more than the
protocol points relating TO the relinquish-
ment of Spanish sovereignty over Cuba
and the Spanish West Indies. Guam and
the Philippines, with the single exception
of the prOviSo for the release of prisoners
All the other matters, those relating to
the renewal of the commercial treaties the
acquisition of cable and coaling stations,
and in fact all those eXtraneous matters
that have been mentioned as likely to be
Incorporated in the peace treaty, will form
the subject of special treaty.
This course is likely to be adopted in
order to hasten the conclusion of peace. for
which there is a great necessity if for no
other reason than to secure the release of
prisoners and the restoration of trade be-
tween Spain and the United States
There has been no evidence of any fric-
ton between the American commission
