The interest IN Mr. Hopkins eenters
more arOGqd his action as chairman Of
the Census Committee than as a member
OF Ways and Means, although he Is an in
fuential member or the latter committee.
He said last evening that ne personally
favored plan for apporti0nment that
would give about one member OF tie
House for every ls3e00 inhabitants
That" said he, would afford an In
crease OF some eighteen OF twenty mer-
bers over what there Is now. | have maee

terms, but ] think such a plan would
cause Nebraska 10 lose one member

SENATOR CHANDELIERS CHANCE
lie Thinks that Majority Of the Reis b..
can Legislators VIII Vote for HiI.

In view of the statements sent out tror1
New Hampshire regarding the Senatorial
contest. Senator Chandler was yesterday
asked by The Post for a view OF the sit
uatiOn from his standpoint. His reply
was as follows.
''The situation is simply this: There
are five other avowed candidates for the
Senate. Messrs. Durham, Sulloway. Baker,
Quinby, and Clarke, besides others who
are waiting-Messrs. Blair. Streeter,
Burns, and Rollins. There are 80 Re-
publican members OF the legislature and
less than 100 Democratic members. The
Legislature meets January 2 and the Re-
publican caucus will be January 10. All
the Republican members have been asked
In my behalf 10 withhold eommittals, and
to be free to act as they think best when
the nominating caucus meets. 1t is diff
cult TO make a positive statement about
their predictions. L can see the names
OF about 100, who, ] am sure, intend to
vote for me. and about seventy more
who, i believe, desire to vote for me. The
only positive workers against me are
certain employees within the State Of our
only railroad, which has become all-pow-
erful in New Hampshire politics. Whether
the railroad owners and managers out
side the State authorize and approve the
action Of their subOrdinates / am not
sure. There are some indications both
ways. Public sentiment has not indicat-
ed any one Of the candidates against me
as the most popular candidate. | will nor
assert that | am sure of the nomination
but 1 believe ] shall receive a majority of
the votes In the caucus when il meets
II defeated, the cause will be almost
wholly the railroad opposition. IL has
been very gratifying 10 me to discover
the sentiments entertained toward me
outside the State, proceeding from all
my Republican associates in the Senate.

try. and from members of the administra-
ton, all of whom so far have been ex-

TERMS NONE TOO SEVERE.
Views OF Or. MartiE. President of the Ia
periai Tniyersity of PekiH.


New York. N5y. iS.-Dr. W. A. p. Mar
TIN, president OF the new Imperial Uni
yersity, in Pekin, to-day gave out aa
cPen letter, the caption Of which Is Jus
tice 10 China. - which he calls the ques-
tion Of the hour for the whole worla.
Or. Martin takes exception 10 some re-
Gently printed newspaper articles whien
advise moderation in the treatment 3f
the Chinese He says. In effect. II the
ruling powers IN China were OF Chinese
strain there might be some excuse for
moderation. but he calls the Empress
Dowager "a Tartar usurper. who follows
the traditions OF the Grand Khan and
treats Ambassadors with contumely.
AS 10 the plea that China be treated as
a self-respecIing power. DR.. Martin asks;
What kind Of self-respect was II Tor
the Empress DOwager. on the 18th OF June,
before Baron Ketteler was killed. 70 send
a secret edict 10 all her viceroys. 'ex-
terminate the foreigners, XIII the native
Christians" What sort of self-respeet
wes shown b. Prince Tuan, father OF the
heir-apDarent. in making himself the
patron of a BODY of cutthroats? What
self-respect was shown by Prince Chuang
as military governor in setting price on
the heads of foreigners-'siXty tacls for
the head OF man, fifty for the head Of
a woman, and thirty for the head of q
child?
'sThe readiest road 10 peace and order
is the restoration OF the young Emperor.
AS for his tyrannical aunt and all her
blood-stained clique, no penalty can be
too severe to inflict on them. When the
D0wager and Prince Tuan put TO death
four ministers in the foreign board fer
the crime of pleading for peace, are the
allies too severe If they insist on the eS-
lie of the one and the execution or the
other?"
The doctor closed by contending that
six hundred millions is not too much for
China to pay.

SENATOR DILLINGHAM HERE.
Nerm0nter Comes 20 Washington with His
Brother for Brief stay.

Senator W. p. Dillingham;, Of Mont
pelier, VT, came TO Washington yesterday
accompanied by his brother, Col Charles
Dillingham;, OF Houston, Tex. They reg
istered at the Arlington. Senator Dilling-
nam was elected by the Vermont legisla-
ture in October TO succeed Senator Jona-
than Ross, and will fill the seat of the late
Senator Morrill,. He is a tall, welI-fash-
ioned gentleman, middle-aged, and affable
in conversation. Although clearly man
with his own ideas on current topics, he
declined with becoming modesty to talk
for publication. I'VE have just held an
election" was his comment when asked
as TO his views on public questions, "and
the people have spoken emphatically for
themselves"
A portion of yesterday afternoon the
Senator and his brother spent in inspect
ing apartments in some of the local ho-
tells. The Senator has no family, except a
son, now at school, and he Will not take a
residence this winter. His experience in
Congress this winter will mark his debut
in national politics, but he has served as
governor Of Vermont and held other pub
lie offices which have made him a we'll
known man in New England and even be-
yOnd its borders. The Dillingham; family
is an old and distinguished one. His broth
or Charles commanded Vermont regi-
ment in Gen. Buffers army that occupied
New Orleans, and after the war he re-
mained in the South. He has the physical
characteristics of the Senator. although
he is little stouter. The brothers met in
New York and came TO Washington to-
gether. Senator Dillingham; will return
soon TO Montpelier.

kil.r g Countess de Cornulier by her
hJz.and was the principal topic yester-
lay a the clubs and in social circles gen
a-aHy. Count de Cornulier's condition,
nr.oT :. his marriage, was rather humble,
lnd after his separation from the count
css ne lived in small apartment In tie
Latin Quarter, evidently maintaining
nims elf on a very modest income.
Tie countess, on the other hand, lived
in fine style, and it was evident that his
changed domestic conditions, espe cially
as they contrasted with those OF the
countess, greatly depressed him.
The statement by NJ. Leroux, the advO-
cate, at whose apartments the countess
was shot. that she had placed her affairs
in his hands at the suggestion of her
father. Count Pineau de Viennay, is cor
