unchanged. But here In Calcutta, In this city

much remark lately. At the hour frat

NEW York, May 31.-Peter Cooper
to-day was officially notified of his nom
ination for President by the Indianapo-
lis Convention, and in reply. after ao-
knowledging the honor conferred, said:
There is bare possibility, if wise coun-
sells prevail, that the sorely nee ded re-
lief from the blighting effects of the past
unwise legislation relative to finance,
which the people so earnestly seek may
yet be had through either the Republic
can or Democratic party, as both of them
will meet in National Convention at
an early day. 1t is unnecessary for me
to assure you that while have no aspi-
ration for the position of Chief Magis.
trate of this Great Republic, will most
oheerfully do what can to forward the
interests of the country. I therefore &C.
Dept your nomination conditionally, e1-
ercising the earnest hope that the Inde-
pendent party may yet attain its exalted
aims, while permitting me to step aside
and remain in that quiet which is most
congenial to my nature and my time of
life.
ST.. LOUIS, May 31.-The Democratic
State Convention for the election of del

was called to order by Colonel John
Reed, chairman of the State Central
Committee, who made brief speech,
calling attention to the importance of
the Convention. Not only in its direct
action. but the great influence which the
example of such reliable Democratic
State Convention must exert on the &C.
ton Of other State Conventions. Ex-
Governor Woodson was chosen Presi-
dent.
NASHVILLE, May 31--The Democratic

WASHINGTON, June /. About six
months ago Adolph Sutro filed protest
in the General Land Office against all
applications for patents for mining
claims in townships sixteen and seven
teen north range, twenty-one east, in
the State of Nevada, upon the ground
that the condition specified by the third
section Of Sutro Tunnel Act, should be
inserted in all patents for claims in those
townships. This claim was subject of
long argument before the Commissioner,
who has decided that the condition re-
ferred to should be inserted only in the
claims upon the Comstock lode, extend
ing from the Utah claim, and northerly
to Baltimore, American Flat and south.

QUEBEC, Canada, May 3l.-The fire
here yesterday is reported as having been
caused by children playing with matches.
The number of houses destroyed is esti-
mated at about 700, but careful inquiry
shows that between four and five hun.
bred buildings have been burned. The
loss is estimated at $8O0,0O0. Two fatal
and many minor casualties occurred. A
committee has been appointed to raise
money for the sufferers.
PARIS, May 31.-Sixty representatives
of the Workmen's Association met here
yesterday to discuss the Philadelphia
delegation project. A letter from the
French Commissioner General was read
breaking off relations with labor com.
mittes in consequence Of their recent
vote to select their own delegates. A
communication from Louis Blanc Was
read in which that gentleman offers to
become an intermediary between the
committee and the authorities. The
meeting adopted a resolution that the
workmen persist in their rejection Of the
subvention unless the money is paid
directly into the general subscription
fund.
LONDON, May 31.-On application of
the Government Winslow, was to-day
again remanded until June 10Th. The
members of the United States Legation
here say that evidently he will be sur
rendered, but do not say that they
possess any new facts to support such
belief. It is learned. however, from
good authority that Lord Cairns, Chan
cellor, thinks that the arguments of the
United States Government are sound
and its position correct.

BLAINE EXPLAINS ABOUT HIS FORTUNE.
ALI these attacks, resumed Blaine after
a slight pause, are intended to impress
the people with the belief that I have
large wealth, and that it has been &C.
CURED since l entered Congress. The
moderate property which I own was
almost wholly derived from fortunate in
vestment in coal lands in my native
Monongahela valley, in Western Penn
sylvania, made some years before first
ran for Congress. notice many papers
whose editors never saw me, and know
nothing of my affairs, glibly put my
property down at round million. The
return my property would bring to-day
would not amount to the fifth part Of
that sum. can say with the strictest
truth that all things considered, I am
not to-day as we'll of, pecuniarily, az
was the day entered Congress, in De-
cember, 1868. Had not remained in
Congress, I would to-day, in my judg-
ment, have had large fortune, az bust
ness enterprises which were at my COM
mand, il I could have attended to them,
have resulted most favorably; but every
friend knows that neither my income,
nor my expenditures. nor my habits OF
life imply or suggest the possession of a
fortune, nor of anything, indeed, beyond
moderate competency.

cure for Fisher the 1929 part of the en-
tire franchise Of the Northern Pacific
Railroad, including the land oompany's
stock. After describing the prospective
profits of the transaction, Blaine says
that he (himself) cannot avail of the OPP
portunity and following his first and best
impulse, offers it to Fisher. In the con-
GLIDING paragraph Blaine says: Keep
my name quiet; mention it to no one
unless to Mr.. Caldwell" The Sun also
publishes Blaine's receipt to Fisher for
$25, 900 and an agreement to deliver as
above. Failing to deliver after more

from Blaine $1,000. his interest. and
