Senator Blaine denies in toto the whole Of
the alleged Chicago interview. He says he
never said one word of the speeches attrib-
uted to him, had no conversation with re-
porter and, In short, saw no reporter or news

during that time he has been frequently de-
luged by rain, gaZed upon fountains and

for supplying water to cities, he has often
been put to sad straits in order to procure o
suppiy of the abundant liquid for drinking
purposes. He says he asked for water at the
table in Liverpool hotel on first landing, and
the walters looked at him and at each other
as though he were an Ashautee or q red In
dian. He asked for water again at Chester
and it took tfaree persons and ten minutes
time to get drink In Dublin for six per-
sons he had to ask again, and he was served
with pint and one glass for the half-dozen
to drink from. In London it took him six
Gays to induce waiter to place unasked a
