SEVERAL thousand influential Repub-
hcans of Maine united in requesting James
G. Blaine to be a candidate for Congress-
man-at-large. He replied that, while he
can not turn aside from his private affairs,
he will contribute to the campaign his full
share of labor.
PRESIDENT ARTHUR has received an
invitation from the Union League Club of
Chicago to visit that city this summer. 1t
Is understood that the President thinks
favorably of the proposition to visit the
West, and will probably go to Chicago soon
after the adjournment Of Congress.
THE President has nominated as men,
bers of the Tariff Commissions: VIM. A.
Wheeler, of New York, Chairman; John L.
Hayes, Massachusetts,; Henry W. Oliver,
Jr., Pennsylvania; Austin NJ. Garland, Illi-
nois; Jacob Amber, Ohio; John 8. Phelps,
Missouri; Robert p. Porter, District of Co
lumbia; John W. n. Underwood, Georgia;
Duncan F. Kenner, Louisiana.
The Southern Colorado Utes are in a
state of great excitement, and 1t is feared
are preparing to take the warpath. Large
numbers have already gathered at small
station on the Denver & Rio Grande road,
hideously daubed. for the purpose Of aveng-
ing the killing of some Of their members by
Mexicans.
SOLDIERS and police to the number of
three hundred have been drafted in the dis
trict where Bourke, the Irish landlord, was
murdered. The Lord Lieutenant, in ad-
dressing deputatiou of school-teachers,
said there was abundant proof Of the exist
ence of an organization which killed and
MANNED in defiance of law.
FOREIGNERS were attacked in the
stY4sts Of Alexandria, Egypt, June II, and
both the English and French consulates
were mobbed. The English Consul was
wounded, an English naval officer was killed,
and several houses were destroyed. The
authorities were very slow to act, but troops
finally dispersed the rioters. Though the
trouble is not considered political in charac-
ter, Arabi Pasha is held responsible for it
Indirectly. The outbreak was brief, but
nearly one hundred persons were killed.
HEAVY rains at Denver, Colo, and
vicinity, June 10, caused great destruction
Sc
That part of the city known as the flats was
flooded to the depth of two and three
feet. On the banks of the Platte
River. several houses were swept
away, and at least five lives were lost. Two
bodies only have been recovered. The SUBJ
urb of South Fairview was completely in
undated, and two men and three children
were swept away.
TREASURY officials say the rumors
that large amount Of spurious bonds are
in circulation are totally devoid of founda-
ton. In the words of Secretary Folger, they
are idle stories started by Sensational gos-
sipers." 1t is somewhat singular, to say
the least of it, that there should be several
millions of spurious bonds in circulation
without the knowledge of the department.
So far not a single one has been presented
for redemption. The bonds recovered from
Doyle have all been satisfactorily accounted
for. There are no new developments in the
case of Brockway. His case is under con-
sideration by the Attorney General.
