Much Ado Abopt Nolh,np

WASHINGTON, March 9.-Mr. Blaine
was called upon to-day for the purpose
of ascertaining what foundation there
was for the report that was current at a
late hour last night that pistol bali
was fired through a carriage in which
be and Representative Mckinley were
riding one evening last week Mr.
Blaine said: ION Thursday evening
last, Mr.. Mckinley and | rode from the
capitol TO the Ebbcit House, where |
stopped a few minutes; | rode home
alone. dismissed the carriage as soon
as l ascertained that none of the family
were out and 10 be sent for. The next
day about noon | heard that one of the
large panes of glass In the carriage had
been broken, and that fragments of
glass were scattered profaseiy over
the seat on which Mckinley and I
had been sitting. A few hours after |
heard of 1t, / inquired of Mckinley
whether he noticed any noise or break
age during our ride, and he said not the
slightest. He remembered that the win
dows of both the doors in the carriage
were closed before we left the capitol,
the air being quite sharp. He remem-
bered this very distinctly, as / did also
for he threw his cigar away with the re.
mark that he would not smoke III close
carriage. OF course the pistol ball fired
into the carriage must have gone through
it or would have been found. II did not
go through. No bali has been found. In
my judgment the hole was never made
by pistol ball. 1t more resembles
crash made by a stone thrown violently"
What is your theory about it ?" in.
