The Blaine-BelmOnt Business.


The Belmont-Baine sensation has entirely died
out at the Capitol Opinions, OF course, differ as
to "whO got the best OF it." Mr. Blaines friends
insist he did, while those who take sides with
Mr.. Belmont say If Mr.. Blaine can rest satisfied
where the matter now stands, certainly Mr.
Belmont can. 1t Is known that Mr. Belmont con-
suited southern Senator as to what steps
further SHOULD be taken He was advised to let
the matter rest where 1t is, and to reconsider his
purpose to resign as a member OF the foreign
affairs committee AS to this, he has not yet made
up his mind, but he did not meet with the com
mtttee at to-day's session. Among the best
elements on both sides of the House there is
universal regret that the scene should have
friends say, on being misinterpreted as to his
official correspondence, and for such reason de-
tended himself with such warmth; that he irri-
temper There is no probability that anything
serious Will come out OF the episode.
WILL THERE BE A HOSTILE MEETING?
The remark OF Representative Belmont to Mr.
Blaine yesterday, in the course of the examination
that "My course OF action In regard to your state
ment VIII be conveyed to you In private, is re-
gartfed by some an intmatiOn of his purpOse tn
seek q personal encounter Those that hold this
view give as their grounds hts possible desire to
MAINTAIN the reputation OF his ancestors as fight
Ing men. They recaiLthe actthat August Belmont,
the father OF the Representative, fought duel
when young man, the marks OF which encounter
he bore for the remainder OF his life. It Is also
recalled that the young Representative IS the
grandson OF Commodore Perry, who opened the
commercial relations with Japan, and Ia a direct
descendant Of the doughty Commodore Perry of
Lake Erie fame. The martial blood OF his ancest-
ors ana the impetuouS spirit OF his father are
dwelt upon as indications OF what course he win
pursue In the present instance. This phase of the
affair is more generally discussed than the merits
OF the TIT which gave rise to the heated words.

On account OF the large number Of visitors who

Gay Gu1teau had steady stream OF visitors.
Among the women who called was one who
seemed To know something OF the Guiteau family
Upon her asking the prisoner il he was related to
a Dr. Guiteau, he answered that he believed there
was some relationship. She said she was sorry to
hear 1t. for she knew DR.. Guiteau's family to be
angr1ly 'YOu had better move on now, for we have
had enough cranks here already" He declined to
her companions A short time afterward the door
was opened by the deputy, when Gulteau said :
You are not bringing any more cranks in now.
Russ replied, ooh, no have minister here .:
Gulteau laughingly greeted the visitor, told him
that tn he was was getting along well, asked where
he came from, what church he represented. etc
Then, turning to the table, he pointed to his Bible.
and said he had been reading it. He remarked
dispatch from him. A copy OF his book. 'The Truth
and the Removal" was then taken up by him and
ne opened IL at the preface to the second part he
RemovaD and asked that the visitors read it. one
OF them complied, and remarked on reading par
agraph: "You have a hint on the on1cehOkiers
here;" and he replied: 'sYes some OF them have
been benefited by my act, and they should stand
by me. 1t Is time now for them to show them
selves" The sentence, 81 had rather go to glory
in June than to Auburn prison for life, as some
people suggest" was read from the book, and it
was mentioned that some years ago prisoner at
the old jail was with some difficulty persuaded to
accep ia communication of sentence after he had
been prepared for the scaf1old. This turn of the
conversation seemed distasteful to Guiteau how
ever, for he retired to the back of the cen and was
dSinclined to talk further.
