JOE CHAMBERLAIN'S SPEECH
Has Disquieting Effect Upon Official
 Circles of France.

Paris, November 1.-The speech of Joseph Chamberlain, British secretary of state for the colonies at Manchester yes- terday, has had disquieting effect upon French official circles where it had been expected that the evacuation of Fashoda would satisfy Great Britain.
 MT. Chamberlain's statements are re- garded here as indicating Great Britain's s desire to discuss and settle all questions pending while she Is in state of prepared ness to exert pressure in support of her views.
 High officials suggest that the result of the British attitude may be a close under standing between France and Germany on colonial matters. They say such an under standing would meet with the support of Russia, would find ardent adherents among French officers and would be welcomed by the French nation at large.
 The Soir says: "The national defense group in the chamber met today and in- structed their executive committee to in- terview M. Delcasse, minister of foreign affairs with regard to MT. Chamberlain g speech. It was also decided to propose ms the order Of the day in the chambss on Friday a resolution -pledging the govern ment to assure the efficiency of the na- tional defense"

UNIMPORTANT AFFAIR.
Uprising in Salvador Will Be Quickly
 Crushed by Federal Forces.

Washington, November 16.-Senor Corea, the diplomatic representative of the United States of Central America, says the report ed uprising in Salvador, which is part of this new union, Is an unimportant affair, and will be quickly crushed by the federal forces if it amounts to enough to call them into use. He received a dispatch yester- day from Governor (former presidenD Zel- aya Of Nicaragua on current affairs, but 1t made no mention of the uprising. MT. Corea says it Is undoubtedly due to wish on the part of a small element to discredit the new republic of the United States of Central America, which came into exist ence on the 1st of this month, but he Is sure it will fail, as the three countries forming the union are alike interested in putting down these local uprisngs. The new con- stitution provides that the military forces of all the states shall be available in sup pressing disorder in any of them. It is un- derstood that a vessel is ready to proceed from Nicaragua with 300 federal troops to the point of the uprising, which MT. Corea asserts will prove to be less of demon- stration than the recent race riots in the CarOlinaS

 Dr. Conner-But how did 1t happen that after receiving an order early in August to get thousand bed hospital ready that in the latter part of that month this had not been done and there were sick soldiers who were not able to find hospital accom- modations?
 Dr. Forwood-Our first order was for a 300 bed hospital, and after that for another of the same capacity. But, by the time you spoke of we had not only room for LOGO beds, but for 2000.
 pr. Conner-Even then you had not suf- ficient tentage.
 Dr. Forwood-Not to cover the whole earth but we had all that was necessary to cover the sick; there was never mo- ment when we did not have tents there to put up.
 At this juncture Dr. Forwood was ex- cused for the night.

PORT OF CIENFUEGOS.
Government Authorities for Possession
 of Southern Coast of Cuba.

Washington, November 16.-The United States government Is anxious that the military forces shall have possession of the port of Cienfuegos on the southern coast of Cuba as soon as this can be ar- ranged. It has been represented to the of- ficials here that the vast sugar cane fields in the province of Santa Clara, Cienfuegos being the port of entry for that province, are almost ripe and ready for cutting. that implements for the work and oxen for hauling the teams should be sent into the district soon as possible. The United States, in order that these may be given prompt admission, desires control of the port. The sugar plantations in active op- eration would furnish employment to many destitute Cubans now in Santa Clara pro- vince. The Spanish government has been given notification of the intention of the United States to occupy that port.

then only 35. She met Baron Ceder-
strom in his London gymnasium, where
he was engaged in teaching the young
English noblemen how to work up their
muscles, fence shoot, wrestle and. ac-
quire all sorts of athletic and calls
thenic accom- mplishments.
The baron's father is Baron Claes Ed
ward Cederstrom, an old lieutenant in
the Royal Swedish Life dragons. His
mother, before her marriage, was
Baroness Martha Leijonhufvud. The
family of Cederstrom is one of the best.
in Scandinavia. 1t was ennobled in
1854, and although not prominent in
the way of wealth, it has been always
highly respected, and its male meln7
bers have taken no small part in the
military, civil and professional fields of.
Sweden. Young Olaf is handsome, dis
tinguished looking man, simple and
courteous in manner and highly edu--
Gated. The family being poor, he was,
expected to earn his own living. True,
he might have joined the army, but the
idle, good-1or-nothing life of an officer
in peace times had no attraction foI
him. He went to London, opened his
athletic institution and soon had a.
fashionable and profitable clientage.
Nine. Patti was much impressed by the
Young Swede's manliness, and invited.
him to Craig-y-Nos, her castle in Wales.
1t was from there the formal announce
ment of the engagement was made.
Nine. PATHS third venture in the mat
rimonial line promises to be as hapPE
as was her second with Signor Nicolini-
Patti and Nicoliui lived like doves up to
the death of the tenor IN 1897. Itlssaim
that Nicoini Yeon the song bird by
sheer persistence. Her first husband,
Marquis de CauX, was much older than
she, but very rich, and their married
life was anything but pleasant. Nieo-
lini had nothing but the good fortune
to win Nine. PATHS love, and that was
enough. Cederstrom is likewise poor
man, but he is noble, and it is by no
means improbable that as Baroness
Cederstrom Nine. Patti can spend her
remaining years in very pleasant asso-
citation with Europe's best society. The
wedding will take place at Craig-y-Nos
February %. Baron and Baroness Ced-
erstrom will then go at once to London.
The former is to become naturalized
British subject.

A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

We wish the readers of the REC
ORD Happy New Year-a year
which shall bring them more joy
and prosperity than the one just

the future even for the saddest-
hearted person we meet, and we
earnestly wish that the fondest
hopes of the deserving may be
more than realized.
The year about departing has
been filled with many memorable
events. What the coming year will
show cannot he conjectured. Per-
haps it is better that man cannot
look into the future, for is he could
he would see things before him
that would discourage the stoutest
heart. Let us all hope, however,
that 1899 will come in full of prom
ise, and that it will, indeed, be a
happy new year for all.
We wish for the readers of the
RECORD a particularly happy year
in 1899, and what we can do to
make IT such we shall gladly do,
y can help us in this matter by
subscribing tor the RECORD for
the coming year. If you have a
friend away from Passaic, to whom
you would send a New Year pres

which your memory may be kept
fresh by him or her than a sub,

no question but that the gift will
be appreciated.
