WASHINGTON LETTEB Washington, D. C, Dec. s8th, iSgi. Mr. Harrison's friends are inclined to be jubilant over the Chilian situa tion. They have an idea that Mr. Harrison's special message to Con gress recommending that war be de clared against Chili, which they say he will certainly send in as soon as Con gress reassembles, if the new President of Chili, who assumed office Saturday, does not before then send an answer to the demands for the punishment of the Chilians who attacked the U. S. sailors at Valparaiso, and for indemnity for the families of the sailors who were killed, which shall be entirely satisfac tory, will give him a boom for the Presidential nomination. They are hoping for a message of defiance from Chili, as they wish war to be declared, believing that war would make Mr. Harrison's renomination certain and his re-election much more probable than it would otherwise be. The democrats in the House and Senate are interested spectators of the drama which the administration is preparing for the American people, and altogether it has been stated that the leaders were prepared to vote in favor of a declaration x( war should Mr. Harrison recommend that as the only honorable way to end the matter, I can say on the highest authority that no' such statement has been auth orized by any democrat of prominence -in the party councils. The most dili gent search failed to find a single de mocratic Senator or Representative willing to express an opinion, until the correspondence between the two L-.ll t I ... uvciiuuciiia snail nave uccu acni iu Congress. Then, if it shall appear that American honor demands a de claration of war, no democrat will be found opposing it ; but should it ap pear on the other hand that an at tempt was being made by the admin istration to curry favor with thought less people by making war upon a weaker nation, no democrat will be frightened by a fictitious public clamor into voting a dollar for a political war. That is about the situation as it stands today. Speaker Crisp has been ill with the grip ever since the Christmas adjourn ment. He had to abandon his trip home, and send for Mrs. Crisp to come here to help nurse him. He suff ers a great deal, but his physician says he is in no danger. Mr. Mills has re covered sufficiently to go to Fortress Monroe, where he has been ordered -by his physician to remain a few days. ' Yf ,,u : .u:w 'followed the announcement of the House committees, has already passed away, and by the time Congress meets there will be little cf it left, except among those who consider the iauure of the Speaker to tender the chairman shia of the Wavs and Means commit tee to Mr. Mills in the light of a per sonal slight to that gentlemen. -The two democratic members of the House committee on Rules are spend ing their holiday time at work upon he rules which will govern the pro ceedings of the present Hqusc and if Speaker Crisp, who is chairman of the committee, gets well enough this week to attend to business, they hope to re port the rules immediately after the House re-assembles. They are not disposed to talk about their work at present. There is no occasion for wonder that some people should refer to the United States Senate as the "Million aire's Club." In some respects the name is fully deserved. It costs the tax-payers of this country more than ..I r t r t i :.u - i ins nuu ui Liurus, wiui a ihciiiuci ship six times larger, cbsts Great Brit ain. It has a corps of employes large enough to be in each others' way, all Ml VUCIM lllChVVlllg tLlC BaiAl 13 tllAll are paid the same class of employees in the House, and yet it is coolly pro posed to add twenty-three additional employes at a cost of $20,000 a year. This addition is said by those who prepared the' resolution therefor, to have been made necessary by the pur chase of the Maltby House, opposite Jlie Capitol, for the use of the Senate committees, by the last Congress. It was bad enough that the people should have taken an unproductive piece of property off the hands of a private in dividual at a fancy price, without mak ing that the excuse for taxing them 920,000 a year additional. Ex-Assistant Postmaster. General Brady, of star route scandal notorety, says he regards the appointment of Stephen B. Elkins to be Secretary of l war, as a vindication of the Star, routers, that's the worst thing yet, said of the caoineuorhcer. LONDON ON WHEELS. HOW 6,000,000 BUSY PEOPLE AROUND TOWN. GET A'ot Ground On 111. tironnd Anit t'mlor Clronntl "Growlers" anil Unnsoms street Cars Scares Ilow mock" ! Managed. How the 5,000,000 of people in London "get about" to their daily avocations and homes is a mystery to those who have not mado tho subject a study, bo I lmvo K.itliereil omo informatiou which will throw a little light on it. Let me start out with the statement that beside tho lOlnrgo terminal stations, like the Eaton Square and the Midland, there are 430 railway stations within the metropolis, and the underground lines alone carry annually 123,000,000 of passengers. The underground roads hare been in existence for more than a quarter of a century, and tire found to answer tho purpose admirably of relieving the overground traffic. They are convenient, cheap, and comparatively quick ; but de cidedly unpleasant, if not positively un healthy. Although the engines consume their own smoke, it is impossible to keep pure the air in the tunnels, and you usually emerge from them with a head ache. Of course, the cars have to be lighted artificially, and tht y had not learned to use the electric light in them when I was last in London last October. Oas is 11 poor substitute in such a place. You are forced to read your newspaper in a dim light, aud the gas consumes much of the oxygen which geta into the tunnels from openings, en route, which are made for tho purpose. Yet you do not get about as quickly in the underground as you would imagine. To avoid obstructions and for mechan ical reasons tho road takes a circuitous route, and you frequently must ride a. long way around to go a comparatively short distance. Millions of Londoners, who go direct from home to business, seldom get into an underground train. There are many ovcrgrouud lines built on brick arches which go to the suburbs, where rents are low; for every Englishman must have his own house, no matter how small, which he regards as his "castle. " These trains are quick and cheap, and you are blessed with ample light and good air at least as good as you can get in foggy, smoky London. Oil all roads, whether on trunk lines, on local, overground, or underground lines, there are first, second, and third class cars, or "carriages," us they call them. Even some omnibuses that ply from the trunk line station also have compartments for different classes; your Englishman is very particulur with whom lie rides. There are no street cars run by the trolley, storage, or any other electric system ; no cable cars, no horse cam j not a track laid for a surface road in the city proper. Many Americans leave Loudon without ever seeing a street car of any kind, and yet in tlu metropolis 1,000 street cars run daily ovor "120 miles of track, but they are not permitted in crowded thoroughfares ; they are confined to the outlying districts. I have only seen them in the east end. The street cars are "double deckers," and, like the 'buses, they carry more outside than inside pas sengers, but the number of passengers is limited. When the car has reached its limit it will take up no more lwssengers. Every passenger has tho right to a seat, aud, to use a paradoxical phrase, every Englishman stands up for his right to a seat. Street cars are not needed in the city. Nearly all London streets are in as good condition for driving as our Central Park roads. There are 8,000 hansoms, 4,000 four wheelers, aud 2,000 omuibuses, so that you are not obliged to walk on ac count of the absence of cars. The London cab service is the best and cheapest in the world. The writer says this, notwith standing that he remembers that you can lure a cab in Key West for a dime. But such cabs and such horses! The fare in a lmnsom for a two luilo drive is one shilling (23 cents); by the hour, two-and- six (63 cents). 1 here are no such smart horses for publio hire anywhere as the Loudon cab horses. They go like the wind if by the course, and they go at a similar gait by the hour if you promise an extra sixpence. London drivers ore not so brutal nor so ill tempered as New York drivers. They do not, as a rule, curse or swear at each other as ours do, who are always ready with a foul oath, On my last visit to London, where I staid one month, I saw a great many "blocks," but heard only one quarrel between drivers, and that was not at all serious. The 3,000 omnibusus keep employed 8,000 or 0,000 horses. The number of miles run annually by tho omnibuses is 8,500,000, and the number of passengers carried not less than 48,000, 000. Home Journal. A Coffee Drunkard. A good citizen, who was once what the boys termed a considerable lusher, re marked recently ; "When Idrank whisky I felt that it was incumbent upon me to tiike as much of it as possible, but when I quit I quit for good. I saw I had enough of it. Now, strange as it may appear, I was about as confirmed a drunkard for six months after I quit as I was before, but I waa a coffee drunkard. "It appeared to me that I must have stimulant, and I drank coffee, sometimes drinking as many as IS and 90 cups a day. ' There could be no doubt that the coffee was doing me more harm than whisky, so I gave it up. I was a coffee drunkard just aabad as a whisky drunk ard." , The Stupid Captain.

Toxaa Sittings, , Pattiooa For President- A dispatch dated Fittsburg, Decem ber 27th, gives an interview with Gov. Campbell of Ohio, as to the successful candidate for the democratic nomina tion for the presidency. The Gover nor is reported as saying that he con sidered Governor l'attison, cf Penn sylvania, more likely to secure the nomination than any eastern man. This interview lead the Harrisburg Patriot in the issue of December 29, to give a lengthy editotiil, recommend ing that the democracy of Pennsylva nia, should now gravely consider the chances of her favorite son and deter mine what can be done to advance or strengthen them.
