The Lumentn,ion. of Chandler.

Readers of The Times may not gener-
ally know that Senator William E. Chan
dler, political and patriotic purist. from
New Hampshire, is having a hard time
| with his ambition to continue in the soft
seat on Capitol Hill, which he has grace1
for fourteen years. Nothing ais him but
| his Spartan integrity and a record to-
tally unsullied in Republican circles by
| his connection with the Hayes steal in
1876, and his career as Secretary of the
| Navy under President Arthur. Eut he is
| being bitterly assailed by local interests
long unimpressed by the power of his
infiuence-and eloquence of course-and
now DESTROYS of getting him out of the
way, and also under cover by the Ad-
ministration which for several years has
regarded him in the light of a flea in the
| Republican bed. The time appears to
| have come to undo him.

fought the sin of free railway passes in
his native State, and bitterly an aycnze

not find any evidence in the text TO show

a special reception in the Blue Room Of
the White House for Rear Admiral Rich
ard and the chief officers of the French

spects to Mr.. Mckinley.

man. the admiral's aide They were ac-
cOmpanied by NJ. Thebaut French Charge

Attache of the Embassy, and Lieutenant
Commander De Faramond, the Naval At
tache
The first call was made upon Secretary
Hay at the State Department. After
ward. escorted by Mr.. Hay. the French
officers went to the White House and were
received by Mr.. Mckinley in the Blue
Parlor. About ten minutes was spent in
mutual expressions of good will
After the reception at the Executive
Mansion. the party was driven to the
State. War. ana Navy Building where
calls were made upon Secretary Long and
General Miles. Afterward they paid their
respects to Admiral Dewey at his home on
Rhode Island Avenue. Captain Vignal
entertained the party at lunch In the
afternoon formal calls were made upon
the various Ambassadors.
Admiral Richard was formerly naval
attache at London. He served for sew
eral months in the fall of 1889 as chief
of the French delegation to the Interna-
tional Maritime Conference in Washington.
As he speaks English fuently. he made
many friends here then. and is now fe-
newinS pleasant acquaiutanceships.
The officers express themselves as high
IL pleased with the reception they have
met with in this country. AT New York
and at Baltimore their presence in Jtrt
has been made a social event and they
have been deliberately entertained.
The headquarters OF the squadron,
which includes four vessels. is at Marti-
nque. in the Windward West Indies. The
Cecille and the Suchet have been making
a trip through the North Atlantic for the
benefit of the mems health. The two
vessels will leave Baltimore for the South

New Orleans on Mardi Gras day.

the members of the French Embassy will
be in Baltimore today to be present at a
reception for Cardinal Gibbons to be given
on the French flagship. the Cecille.

THE PHILIPPINE POSTS.
specint agent Irwin Highly Com
nends the Service.

The Postmaster General yesterday re-
ceived the report OF Special Agent ]. W.
Irwin, who was sent to the Philippine
isiancs to examine the postal service. He
said he had checked up the records of
stamped paper and found that they
agreed in every respect Director VailIe.
| according 10 the report. carefully checked
all the stamped paper received and is
sued so he could always know the amounts
and no one had access to the stamped
paper except the Director. He also Sc
cured an exact balance in the account of
U. S. Parsons Cashier of the Department
of Posts
very high compliment is paid to Di-
rector Vaille, Mr.. Irwin saying among
other things: What impressed me most
in my examination of the affairs of the
Department of Posts was the conserva-
tive character of the work of Mr.. yaille.
the Director General. de is one OF the
most faithful and conscientious public
servants. There were 2O5 natives. Fill
pinos and Spanish, on the pay roll of the
postal and telegraph service in Manila
at the time of occupation. of which only
40 received $50 per annum: only 10 were
retained and the service in the archipei-
ago now employs IS Americans and 55
natives. Since the occupation of Manila
creased. and it will be necessary to IN
crease the pay of the native clerks
Mr.. Irwin also speaks appreciativeiy of
the work of F. L. Stocking postmaster
at Manila: E. G. Wetzler. superintendent
of mails: Z. S. Parsons, cashier: W. T.
Noting. assistant postmaster. and others
The Department Of Posts has now twenty
one pcstofiices and thirty-seven stations
Under military authority.
A contrast is drawn. unconsciou5ly
perhaps. between the actions of Mr. vaille
and E. G. Rathbone, former Director Of
Cuban Posts Mr. vaille found he had to
use a carriage for official business so
often it was cheaper to keep his own car
rage so he hired team and driver 1T his
own expense whilo the heads of other
departments in Manila all had carriages
at the expense of the Government. Ii will
be remembered that Mr.. Rathbone's car
riages and livery cost thousands OF dol
lars

The Colonial Cases.

There is some satisfaction in believing
| that before a great while there will be a
| decision by the Supreme Court defining
| the constitutional status of our new pos
sessions. The already famous case OF
GoeZe against the Board of Appraisers of
New York. in which plaintiff sues to re-
cover duties paid under protest on goods
brought to the American mainland from
the American Territory of Porto Rico, was
before the court yesterday. The Attorney
General made 4 motion to postpone it IN
til January Z. when the equally celebrated
alleged smuggling case of Fourteen Dia-
mond Rings against the United States had
been set for hearing. This is the case
of the returning volunteer from the Phil
ippines who bought jewelry in Manila
which was seized on his arrival in Chi
cago.
The court decided to hear arguments in
both cases on December II, as the prin-
ciples involved are much alike. Under
this arrangement the Administration will
lose point in the game of STAYING OFF
adjudication of the great colonial consti-
tutlOnal question. Cnder the foraKer
bill, when the Porto Rican Council and
House of Delegates shall have provided
a scheme of taxation for the island. ade-
quate to provide local revenue equal
to the insular expense budget, the Presi-
dent. on notice of the fact, may mme-
diately proclaim free trade with Porto
Rico. The island chambers will meet for
the first time January l next. II plan
of taxation under the Foraker law could
be rushed through before the Supreme
Court had chance to decide the Porto
Rican cases, they might perhaps be pre-
vented from settling the question of the
Constitution in the Philippines; but that
Administration hope appears to have been
lost
The whole matter now seems certain
of dispose! in the tribunal of last resort.
What its final decision will be no one is
now in position to say. But the con-
sensus of opinion among constitutional
lawyers. like Benjamin Harrison and 9th
ers not directly interested on one or the
other side. is that the Supreme Court will
hold that where the flag is there will the
Constitution be found also.

LITTLE HOPE OF PEACE.
Lieutenant Colonel Campbell ON Com
ditions in Philippines.

Lieut. Col James Campbell, of the Thir-
tieth Volunteers. in the Philippines. is in
the city. Colonel Campbell was formerly a
Representative from Illinois. but quit poll
ties for the army. He left the Philippines
for America in August and will return to
duty with his regiment about the LIST of
next month. He was caller at the White
House yesterday.
Colonel Campbell has no hope that the
army in the Philippines can be cut down
for long time. Colonel Campbell says
that the guerrilla warfare of the Filipino
insurgents is practically system OF
brigandage. whereby each section is made
to pay tribute to strange brigands. Agui-
naldo. he says. is now in hiding in the
mountains with a few friends. The insur
gent leader is in deathly fear OF being
killed by treacherous Filipinos. He never
sleeps twice in the same spot.
