v~indicating Secretary Blaine.
WAsHINGToN, June 4.-The Attorney
General and Postmaster-Gener emphat-
ically discredit the public rumors that
Secretary Blaine has been implicated in
the Star mail route swindles, or that in the
interests of himself or implicated friends
he endeavored to impede the investigation.
The Committee Of Investigation and SUI
| perior officers unite in ~denouncing all such
reports as entirely groundless, and say, on
the contrary, that Secretary Blaine from
the very first encouraged the investigation
most heartily, and has constantly taken
the ground that it should be prosecuted to
the utmost.
A New Era in Mining.
New YoRK, June 4.-The Commercial
Bulletin, the creation of the two Mining
Exchanges, is exhibiting to the public at
large the magnitude Of the deception con-
templated by the promoters Of a class Of
mining enterprises, offering s per cent
market value and 90 per cent watered. Al
ready the organization OF wild cat COM
panies is on the wane; in fact, they have
almost ceased. individuals OF means, pos
sessing knowledge of mining properties,
and knowing how to work them intelli-
gently and with economy, are beginning
to do work that has heretofore been done
by companies, and generally with satisfac-
tory results. This mining on private ac-
count is destined to extend rapidly, and its
result will be to putthe business on a more
solid and reputable basis, and to draw into
1t a mach larger amount Of capital.
senator Jones on Conkling.
NEW YORK, June 4.-Senator Jones
breakfasted with Conkling. To a reporter
| Of the Evening Post Senator Jones after
ward said: "Senator Conkling is looking
in better health than / have seen him for o
long time, and is just as full Of fight as
ever. / had but a few minutes converse
ton with him. He has no intention Of
Withdrawing his name, but will fight right
through. He feels confident of ultimate
success, both for himself and Plat. 1t is
an absolute impossibility for the half
breeds to unite upon any man in their list,
and as soon as any attempt is made you
will see a rush of men for Conkling's side.''
The Nevada Central sold to Dillon
and Gould.
CHICAGO, June ga Tribune New York
special says: "Mr. Sidney Dillon, and it is
supposed Mr.. Could" said a banker to-day,
"havsybought the Nevada Central Railroad,
extending from Battle Mountain on the
Central Pacific, to Austin, 100 miles down
the valley. The object of the purchase is a
mystery to the Central Pacific people. One
theory is that the road is to be extended
north to connect with the Oregon system,
and, perhaps, south to some other connec.
ton. A railroad could be built down the
valley 100 miles, IL not through to the
Texas Pacific. If there is no immediate
object in view, the right of way through
the valley Is likely to be useful In the fu.
ture.

the Treasury Department who Distribute
Government stamps. notes. ETC., have
made complaint against the management
OF the Bureau OF Engraving and Printing.

tested against the poor stamps supplied
them. No charges have been made against
the Bureau or its management, but these

Capital Gossip.
WAsH1NeroN, June Att is not true that
Senator Spencer has been appointed First
Assistant Postmaster General. Tyner's
friends say his voluntary resignation has
not yet been accepted. II Tyner leaves,
probably some other Indianian will sue
coed him, not ex-senator Conover, az has
been suggested.
The Virginia Readjusters say they are
entirely satisfied with their ticket, and say
the action secures q union Of Republicans
and Readjusters. Very few will oppose a
coalition or demand a straightout ticket.
Virginia Democrats sayEths ticket is as
good as the Readjusters could make, but
they can't win.
