BLAINE AND BELMONT

WASHINGTON, D. April q. -Blaine's
testimony before the House Committee
on Foreign Affairs to-day was of no
special interest in itself, as the time was

of misquoting him. An angry dispute
ensued, both men rising and pounding

Blaine was n coward and a bully, and
intimated his intention of settling with
him in private, while Blaine branded
Belmont as an insolent boy. The affair
creates considerable sensation. Some
say fight will follow but that is gene
rally disbelieved.
