" Ho was con- Bplcuous In the national senate In the re cent debates nu nn ndvocnto of the recogni tion of Cuban Independence , concurrently with the declaration of war , nnd was. largely Instrumental In securing the adop tion of the Joint resolution asserting that the people of Culm "nro nnd of right ought to ho Independent , " which Spain treated us a direct challenge to war nnd which the his torian will no doubt regard as the Immedi ate cause of the conflict. "Nevertheless ho Is not n flro-oatcr and Is hopeful that the war will be short nnd Its results highly beneficial to mankind In the larger sense. In the course of n free talk with him a few days ngo In the parlor of his pleasant home on I street the writer found that ho holds some original views of the far-reachlnt ; consequences of the war now In progress. SENATOR WILMAM n. CHANDLER ( PORTRAIT. ) 'lie calls It a "fortunate war" nnd his reasons for so calling ; It arc decidedly In teresting. "I have no particular sympathy , " said Senator Chandler , "with the Idea that every generation must and ought to have n war In order that the courage of the nation may bo preserved and the steiner virtues of man hood bo maintained. That Is n theory which has been held by men of conslderabln emi nence , who ha\o bt'ljoved that without the hard discipline of wars occurring nt more or less regular Intervals the virility of a na tion Is In danger of being lost , so that Its people will degenerate Into softness and weakness. "Hut while I do not share this view of war J note It as n curious fact that In the past century and a quarter of our existence as a nation events have conspired together In such a way as to give us exactly ono war to every generation. Thus In the first quar ter century wo had the war of the revolu tion , In the next quarter century the war with Mexico , In the third quarter century * the-war of the rebellion , nnd now when Us Ir.st quarter was running to Its close without any war , lo and behold ! wo have this war with Spain. IlunplIlN of War. "Whatever mny bo said about the bless ings of peace and assuredly they are very great It Is undeniable that war , particularly when It Is a wnr waged , as this ono Is. for what the nation believes to bo a just and righteous cause , must have an enormous and wholesome tonic Inllucnce , bracing up not merely the lower and physical , but the higher nnd moral , life of the nation engag ing In It. Suppose , If you please , that this Spanish war were to como to nn end now , and that no more fighting were to bo done. It would have been a short conflict , with no great loss of life , nnd yet wo would have al ready made not only a great naval , but a great military demonstration ; wo would have given ourselves assurance , and , at the same time , shown to the whole woild that wo have n mighty reserve power , both on land nnd on sea. Wo hnvo made a demon stration something nkln to the memorable grand review that took place nt the close of our civil \\ar , nnd which gave us a spectacle on Pennsylvania nvenuo which , as I look back to It , I feel was a splendid object les son as to tbo vital strength nnd resources of the republic , and wns of 'Incalculable ' lat in Ita moral Influence upon foreign ob servers. A similar thin * li now going to happen ngaln. We shall put our 125,000 mllltln In line , nnd , whether wo have to tend them all lo the front or not , we shall , by and by , bring them together In ono great assembly here nt Washington , nnd the moral effect of thut ns a demonstration of our latent power as a nation will bo great and valuable. The wnr may bo too short to re quire us to use this latent power on which wo have made a first call nnd the shorter the wnr Is the better we shall all be pleased but even If H ends tomorrow , this demon stration of our capacity for war on n great scale has been made , and Us moral effect will remain. "Moreover , attention having been called In a pointed way to our deficiencies In mil itary organization , In coast defenses and In naval equipment nt various points , tbo country will now Insist that they shall bp remedied nt whatever cost , so that wo shall never nt nny future time find ourselves taken by surprise or nt n disadvantage In facing nny foreign complication. Fortniinle lit Matty Wiiy * . "The next broad view which comes to me Is that this war Is a fortunate war In many ways. It comes at n good tltno nnd under fortunate circumstances for us. It Is , In my opinion , going to save this country n bigger war , and perhaps several other bigger wars. If wo had shown pusillanimity now wo should have taken our place ns a second- class power Instead of a first-class power , with this extremely probable result that other nations , perceiving us to bo n second- class power , not willing to fight oven Spain on a question Involving American princi ples and American Interests In this hemi sphere , would have taken advantage of the discovery to embark In various ambitious enterprises of their own on this side of the world. Emperor William might possibly , In such an .event , have bought St. Thomas nnd St. Crolx ; other powers might have bought other American possessions : Eng land , without conquering Venezuela , might have purchased Venezuela , nnd n whole sc ries of similar nets might have followed on the part of European powers In this western half of the world If we had proved In this exigency that wo were not ready or willing to light Spain for good cause. "Th Monroe doctrine would thus have been made to disappear , unless we had been prepared to enter upon nn armed contest to prevent such action by these great powers a war with nny one of which would have been much harder to fight than this ono with Spain. Hence It Is quite clear to my mind that this war Is most fortunate. In this re spect at least that It will have the effect of preventing larger wars , -which otherwise would have como upon us , unless -we hai been willing , not only to give way to Spain but to surrender our Monroe doctrine. " "But , Mr. Senator , the Monroe doctrine Is not generally regarded as Involved In this wnr with Spain , Is It ? " "No , nnd It Is not directly Involved , " re plied Mr. Chandler. "Tho Monroe doctrine Is only incidentally touched by our action In the case of Cuba. The Monroe doctrine has always Implied the recognition of existing European governments In this hemisphere but only upon this condition that any European - ropean power having possessions hero which It grossly misgoverns , wo shall feel It to bo our right and duty to expel. Wo have never taken the position that European powers al ready established here were to bo drive : out , but simply that they should make no now establishments .here and , as a corollary that such territories nnd ) > eoplcs ns were al ready under their dominion should be wcl governed. "This exceptional attitude which we have taken toward Spain demanding that she must go , bag and baggage , entirely out of America Is the only case of the kind that can arise , because Spain Is the only Euro pean nation that misgoverns on this side of the world. England does not misgovern her colonies ; she holds those of her colonies that are composed of civilized people capa ble of self-government with their own con sent , nnd , BO far as I know , that Is true also of France and Germany. So that the reason for which wo are fighting Spain I" FREE BOOK FOR WEAK MEN. j 1 DR. SANDEIM'S fe , ELECTRIC BELT.

Wbr We WnRf * Wnr. "Wo nro In armed conflict with Spain be cause of tier war methods , which nro barbar ous ; because of her long nnd terrible misgovernment - government of thu Cuban people ; because of her bad faith , no shown In the Do Lome let ter , which revealed her ns practicing decep tion upon us In the matter of autonomy nnd at the same time Insulting our president , nnd last but not least because of her allow ing the Mulno to be blown up by some of the extreme Spaniards In Havana. Wo are for tunate , again , In having such strong specific cnuscs for the war we are making. "This wnr is fortunate , too , In this , that while Spain Is not BO powerful n nation as to make It prudent to avoid a conflict with her , yet she Is not BO weak a nation as to make her an unworthy antagonist or one whoso Jcfeat will bo nn Inglorious thing In Itself. Her strength nnd resources nnd the extent of her naval and military establishments nro not so small that we can be charged with making a cowardly fight. Her expul sion by force from this hemisphere Is In deed no holiday affair. 'Ut Is furthermore exceedingly fortunate that the United States goes Into this wnr not for itself nor to gain anything for Its own aggrandizement , but simply to fight for friends nnd neighbors. Yet nnotber piece of good fortune for us Is that things nre so sit uated In Europe at this time that Spain can not get nny help from the "concert of Eu rope , " which three or four years hence she might be able to get. All the conditions of the time nnd It seems to me nil the clrcum-v stances of thu war are In our favor. My feeling Is that It is 'manifest destiny , ' clearly Indicated by these fortunate circum stances to which I have alluded. I think It will appear In hlstoty , both ns'to Its Imme diate outcome nnd ns to the far-reaching consequences of which I have spoken , ns altogether ono of the most fortunate wars In which any nation ever engaged. And the world may well Infer that If we will take such a stand nnd make such sacrifices fern n neighboring people we would certainly fight for ourselves and our own Interests still more readily and resolutely. " "What Important change , If nny , do you anticipate , Mr. Senator , In our International relations as the result of this war ? " Allliitir < with Ilrltnln. "Tho new feature In our International re lations Is , " icplled Mr. Chandler , "already evident In the great change which has taken plnco in the feeling between England and this country. This change of feeling Is pal pable In both countries. The way in which the British eminent has acted during the last few weeks. e\er since our dispute with "pain reached Its culmination , has made a lecp and lasting linpiesslon upon the Amor- can people. The logical outcome of this change will be an understanding , amounting o nn alliance , between England and the Jnlted States hereafter. No actual written treaty with England Is to be expected or de sired , because we do not seek any entangling alliances with fon-lgn nations in our day nny more than our fathers did. But we can have n mutually good understanding between the two countries without having It formally ex- ircssed In n tieaty. There has never been any very bad feeling between England and the United States , except what has grown out of what 1 may call the assumption of England toward us of the tone nnd manner of the big brother to the little brother. England , In times past , has been disposed to play the big brother. When we hove had a difference with her she has seemed to as- stimo to treat it , and to decide It , not ns if we were a nation of equal power and dignity with herself , but ns If she , having that big navy of hers , was entitled to net on the big brother principle nnd say : 'Wo are going to have It bo and so , and you help it if you can. ' "In order to get n n working basis of alll nnce with England , which this war has brought into Bight ns n distinct possibility , pome method will have to be found , ol course , of deciding questions between the two countries on some other principle than that. It Is evident enough that an alliance between the two nations , or , let us say , an understanding between them ns against the rest of the world , would not last long If , whenever a dispute arose between them selves , England were to assume , as she has done on previous occasions , to settle it by her Ipse dlxlt. The big brother attitude will have to be given up forever. And , unless pome other way of adjusting differences be twcen England and ourselves can be found , the danger will bo that eventually wo shall ally ourselves with the other great nations of the world. "If England is seeking to make her navy bigger than the combined navies of all the other great powers of the world , then nil the other nations will naturally find them selves In n sort of conspiracy to act together to offset , and , if possible , at some time to overmatch England's naval supremacy. That undoubtedly has been the. recent ten dency of things In Europe , nnd U has been the tendency , to my mind , I confess , to look upon that as the' natural order of things. But now I am quite strongly led In the other direction to consider whether there should not be an English alliance , or an understanding that would be equivalent to an alliance , between the United Stales and England , for certain large nnd broad purposes. " A 1 "Then , Mr. Senator , you seriously thlnlt that an Anglo-American alliance is among the practical possibilities of the near future ? " "Yes. Assuming that wo can first ar range a basis for n fair adjustment of dis putes between England and the United States In such a way as would distinctly guarantee to this country absolute equality with England as a great power , nnd a dis tinct recognition of certain fundamental American principles notnbly the Monroe doctrine I believe there arc good reasons for such an alliance. Thcro Is not merely our common language nnd the tie of race , liut , as regards international questions , there is a broad community of Interests. The gen eral policy of England Is in accordance with ours ; that Is to say , she wants open ports everywhere all over the world , and PO do we. She gives her colonies greater freedom than any olher nation , nnd that , too , Is In line with our American Idea. So far as wo have sympathies with the colonies of i European nations , wo * certainly have more sympathy with English colonies than with my other. So that , If the continent of Asia , like the continent of Africa , Is to bo di vided up among the European powers , it Is more In accordance with our natural sym pathies , ns well as in line with out ma- c terlal interests , for us to prefer that Eng l land-should get the largest share of It. ' "It mny bo said , and truly , that wo are opposed on principle to this method of par tltlonlng Africa and Asia by armed foi-ce. It is doubtless the feeling of the American people that there is nn element of robbery and wrong In this seizure by the European powers of the territory of Asiatic and Afri , can people. Nevertheless , It Is settled ns t n matter of fact that this business of par- j s tltlonlng Is going on and the United States will not undertake to oppose It by force which Is the only way In which wo could do anything to stop it. It being settled , therefore , that the partitioning of Asia and Africa will take place ( and as n matter of fact has already taken place , to a large extent , and Is going on to the end ) our sym pathies and our interests unite to make us prefer that England should acquire control ratucn than the other European powers.

The Church Union tolls a'pretty story about 1'htlllps IlrookB. A lady was traveling from Providence to Boston with her weak- minded father. Before they arrived there he became possessed of a fancy that he must get off the train while It was still In motion , that some absolute duty called him. Ills daughter endeavored to quiet him , but It was dinicult to do It , and she was Just giving up in despair when she noticed a very largo man watching the proceedings , intently over the top of his newspaper. AS soon as ho caught her eyes he lese and crossed quickly to her. "I beg your pardon , " IIP said , "you are in trouble. May I help you ? " She explained the situation to him. "What is your father's name ? " ho asked. She told htm and the largo man , leaning toward the troubled old man , had addressed htm by name , shaken hands cordially and engaged him In a conversation BO Inter esting and BO cleverly arranged to keep his mind occupied that ho forgot his need to Icavo the train and did not think of It again until they \\ere In Boston. Hero the stranger put the lady nnd her charge Into a carriage , received her assurance that she felt perfectly safe , had cordially shaken her hand and uno about to close the carriage door when she remembered that she had felt so safe In the keeping of this nohle-lcoklng man that she had not even asked his name. Hastily putting her hand against the door she said : "Pardon me , but you have rendered mo such a service , may 1 not know whom I am thanking ?
