The British demand is for the set

The German demand is for the pay

they are in the form of an ultima

The handing in of demand OF
such a nature at the private resi-

The actual situation is incompre-

Suffering Results.

New York, Dec. iO.-New York and
New England have experienced during
the past % hours the coolest weather
for many years. In this city II was the
coolest December 9 in 20 years, the
thermometer registering as IL did in
that year degrees above zero. The
severity OF the cold was intensified by
the fact that the people were not pre-
pared for 10. the cold ware having de-
seconded upon the country suddenly
and without warning. Then, too, the
scarcity OF coal caused much suffering
among the poorer class, and those who
could afford the luxury OF ton OF an
thracite coal had TO use II sparingly
for the cold snap might last and they
might not be able to get n fresh sup
ply. Every effort is being put forth
TO alleviate the suffering, charitable
organizations having taken steps TO
supply the poor and the board OF al
dermen having voted 100000 to help
along the good cause.

Ills Greatest Reputation.

II was as speaker of the Fifty-hrst |

cember 2, 1889, that Mr.. Reed made
his greatest reputation and per-
formed his most important work
thus far. During all the years that
he had been in congress he had OBJ
served the growing disposition OF the
minority to defeat those constitu-
tional provisions by which the ma
iority is to rule the land. lie found
that "A habit had grown upon con
gress by which members OF the mi-
nority party by sitting silent in their
seats and refusing TO vote could block
legislation. 1t was apparent To has
clear, logical mind that there was in
consistency i'm this. Clearly, he ar
gued il was not the intention, and
should not be permitted, that mi
noritv should have the power TO block
the wheels of legislation and even
suspend the operations of the gov
eminent. Ills study of this question
led him to believe that on constitu-

ary law il was not only the right but
/ the duty OF the speaker 10 determine
