for and against Loubet. There was
collision between the rival factions
and several persons were injured. The
partisans of the newly elected presi-
dent were worsted in the conflict and
moved off to the Cafe Brebant, where
they were again attacked and dispersed
by their opponents. Many arrests
were made. Similar encounters &C.

Maxeville on the Boulevard NOMINATE,
where several women we're trampled

Toward midnight crowds broke the
windows of the Rothchilds offices in
Rue Lafitte, and another crowd wreck
ed the offices of Anti Juif. Minor dis
turbances took pl zee III various parts
of the city, but the crowds gradually
dispersed and at midnight quietude had
been almost restored. In the course
of the demonstrations the Dreyfusad-
ers attempted to invade the offices OF
the Petit Journal. Finding the doors
barred against them they smashed the
windows. AT the hall of a Thousand
Columns 700 Bonapartists met TO pro-
test against the election of M. Loubet.
Speeches were made by Baron Legoux,
M. Lasies and M. Cuneo dOrnano,
Several persons who interrupted the

meeting broke up there were some
slight disorders and several arrests

Remember the Maine.

HAVANA, Feb. 15.-The sun shone
brightly in Havana harbor this morn
ing when the wreck of the battleship
Maine was decorated with q large
American flag. AT nine O'Clock the
stars and stripes were hoisted at half
mast by Capt. Eaton of the United
States auxiliary cruiser Resolute, who
with Mrs. Rathbone and Mrs. Dudley,
and ten sailors of the Resolute, rowed
to the sunken battleship. The only
others taking part were battalion OF
the First Maine heavy artillery.
An immense rope of green was fes-
tooned about the fighting top, each
loop hung with laurel leaves and tied
with red, white and blue ribbons. The
Cuban club of Havana placed an artih-
cial wreath on the boat crane.
AT ten O'Clock high mass was cele-
brated in memory of the Maine victims
in the..Merced church at which Majos-
General Ludlow and several of his
staff were present. The ceremony,
which was very impressive, was attend
ed by Brigadier- General Brooke, Com
modore B. J. Cromwell, captain of the
port, and other naval officers, the city
council, the executive committee of the
Cuban military assembly and other
members of the assembly, the secreta-
ries of the civil department and many
officials, together with representatives
of the Havana fire brigade and other
local organizations. Many women of
the better classes were in the congrega-
ton which crowded the edifice.
In the afternoon the graves at Colon
Cemetery were decorated in the pres
ence of American officials, military and
naval details participating.
| Father Sherman had been invited by
Mrs. Rathbone, who is president of the
woman's association, to read prayers at
the graveside and he appeared at the
American club, from which the proces-
the assurance that Monsignore San
lander, the bishop of Havana, had
given his consent.
Commodore Cromwell said that, as
the bishop was not willing that p rot
estant chaplain should officiate, he
would not consent to the reading of
prayers by Father Sherman. The lat
ter thereupon went TO his hotel. He
had deferred his sailing on receipt OF
Mrs. Rathbone's invitation.
Commodore Cromwell informed the
newspaper correspondents that the
sailors felt deeply on the subject re.
garding the ceremony of decoration as
distinctly naval affair. Therefore he
could not permit any but naval chap
lain to officiate. Although he was
quite willing that both Protestant and
a Catholic clergyman should act, if
either were to be excluded then the
other must be also.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. - Admiral
Dewey has informed the navy depart
ment that the gunboat Helena arrived
at Manila this morning. All were well
on board. The Helena left Boston No
vember 8. 1t is believed that Admiral
Dewey will put the Helena at work at
once up the Pasig river in concerted
operations with the army. Four other
light draught gunboats similar to the
Helena are now on the way and may
reach Dewey in two weeks.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 19.-Informa-
ton was received from London today
| OF disaster to the British steamer An
gers, whose delay in reaching this port
has caused apprehension. Steamer
Dunraven arrived yesterday and re-
ports standing by the Anglers two days.
All efforts to get a hawser aboard were
futile. The Anglers crew could not
leave the ship. All the boats were
smashed and on the second day the
steamer disappeared in thick weather.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-President
Mckinley has determined to rapidly
extend the jurisdiction of the United
States over the whole Philippine group,
on the theory that delay in this case is
dangerous, and that anarchy and the
general paralysis of such interests as
the islands support will be brought
about through failure to promptly re-
place the Spanish sovereignty over the
islands by that of the United States.
This decision involves the necessity of
naval campaign and this will be insti-
tuted as soon as Admiral Dewey re-
ceives reinforcements in the shape of
gunboats now on the way to Manila.

PARIS, Feb. Ism. Loubet is elect

president OF the Senate opened the
meeting of the National Assembly at
Versailles, He was loudly cheered.
Then he retired as the presiding officer
in favor of M. Chauveau, member of

M. Meline for the presidency. The
official court gave M. Loubet 458 and
Meline 270.
VERSAILLES, Feb. Ism. Chauveau

members of the cabinet where the
news of his election was received by
him almost in silence. He was visibly
affected for some moments, then took

Paris, receiving continuous ovation.
PARIS, Feb. 20.-Except for a few
abortive manifestations the situation

Faure. The efforts of anti .Dreyfusites
to involve President Loubet in the
panama scandals have failed, and in
stead he is apparently growing in pop

efforts to show his good will toward the
army and simultaneously to prove that
he will act in the Dreyfus case without
prejudice. One hundred and five out
of the two hundred and eighty persons
arrested for taking part in the disorders
Saturday night and yesterday were

They include prominent and titled

The Cold Wave in Florida.

Vermont and the northern part of our
country need not complain or feel alone in
the blizzard which has just visited it. for in
letter received to-day from Florida, we
learn some OF the details of the cold wave
that at the same time was visiting that Sec
ton.
The letter is written by @. II. Ward of
Winter Park, man we'll known and pleas
antly remembered in Montpelier. Mr..
Ward says
Sunday was warm and rainy, all the
afternoon and evening, to ten P. M, the
thermometer stood at 800, when the wind
shifted to northwest, and at FIVE A. M, Mon
day, 1t was 200 and freezing all day in the
shade. Tuesday morning it was ITO to 1870.
Everything Is as solid as rock. Ice is a
halfinch thick. We kept the windmill
pumping and faucets open all night to pre-
vent the pipes bursting. 1t was $50 in our
sitting-room at night with hot fire.
The large Seeding trees may come
through by losing their leaves and some
small limbs but we cannot tell yet how
much they are hurt. l do not know Of any
place short OF Cuba or Porto Rico where
they escaped. There were two or four inches
OF snow in Jacksonville, four inches in
GAINESVILLE and IL showed all through north
ern Florida and in Tampa.
This blizzard came so suddenly no one
had time to prepare for it, The pine apples
are probably all frozen, they could hardly
have saved them by fires as the wind blew
such gale.
The poor people must have suffered ter
ribly. 1t is warming up little to-day, but
will be cold again tonight unless the wind
shifts. think prefer Vermont to this"
From this quotation we can realize how
little we have to complain OF here, though
1t is difficult for us to have any conception
Of the great damage such a free 20 in the
South can do. Aside from the actual suffer
ing while the cold lasts, their every pros
pect is almost, II not quite ruined. All
their garden produce is killed and orange
culture, the great occupation OF the State,
receives most serious set back.

How TO PREVENT PNEUMoNIA.-You are
perhaps aware that pneumonia always re-
suits from a cold or from an attack OF la
grippe. During the epidemic Of la grippe
few years ago when 80 many cases resulted
in pneumonia 1t was observed that the at
tack was never followed by that disease
when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was
used. 1t counteracts any tendency of a
cold or la grippe to result in that dangerous
disease. 1t is the best remedy in the world
for bad colds and la grippe. Every bottle
