A PHASE OF BLAINEs AMBITION
How Judicious Friends Kept Him from
Committing a BIunder.

How JudiciOus Friends Kept Him from
Committing BIunder.
There is one phase of Mr.. Blaine's am
bition which has singularly escaped no
tice. 1t is craving for social distinction.
While he had long struggle and hard
one to get into Garfeld's Cabinet, vet
nothing like his domination over Garfield
was ever known. His influence extended
to the smallest particulars; he regulated
the etiquette at the White House as much
as he did the conduct of the State Depart
ment. Mrs. Blaine had Mrs. Garfield un-
der her thumb as completely as Mr..
Blaine had the President. Mr.. West, the
British Minister, had just been accredited
to this country. He brought with
him his eldest daughter to preside at the
British legation, his wife being dead. He
had married, while stationed at Madrid,
Spanish lady who had been an actress.
lis family in England had been much in
censed on account of the marriage, and
had never noticed the wife; but after her
death, when her daughter was sent to
England to be educated, they recognized
the daughter. Something about the Span
ish actress story had preceded Miss
VESTS arrival here, and Washing
ton was electrified by the news
British Minister'S daughter wasn't quite
good enough for them, and they would
decline to recognize her. Mr.. BIaine's
most judicious friends went to him and
urged that he would be going too far in
this, and might make serious trouble
for himself. 1t was discovered, however.
by some lucky Blaineite that Miss West
had been received by Queen Victoria.
This argument at once prevailed, and
the Blaines concluded not to ostracize
Miss West,

TROUBLE AMONG INDIANS.
The Enforcement of the Permit Law,

The Enforcement of the Permit Laws
Apt to Result in BIOOdshed.
FORT SMITH, ARK, July 3.-The en-
forcement of the permit laws is causing
considerable excitement in the Choctaw
nation, and arousing opposition that may
cause their repeal. Under the Choctaw
law every white man in the nation or his
employer is required to pay heavy per-
NIT tax in order to live in the nation,
Milo Hoyt, wealthy Choctaw, having
several white men in his employ, refused
to pay the permit tax, and the authorities
attached his stock. The district court house
was burned, and Hoyt is supposed to have
been the incendiary. The Choctaw au-
thorities pursued him and his party into
the Choctaw Nation. Both parties are
under arms, and serious trouble is APP
pretended. The Indian landlords appeal
to the Secretary of the Interior against
the enforcement of the permit laws, which
are said to be unconstitutional. and
Indian Agent Tufts is trying to stop
further proceedings pending the Secre-
tarv'S decision

OF the highest possible character. Their

the claims of Thurman viii be very
strongly presented at Chicago and that
he has good chance for the nomination.

CefeVa DepSsed and Ruiz Named as His

PANAMA, July 3.-The Superior Court
of Panama yesterday impeached DIR. Ce-
reva, President of the State of Panama,
for bribery, and named Gen. Ruiz, second
Vice President, as President. DIR. Cereva
refuses to leave the Presidential residence
and is surrounded by about 100 friends
armed, and has 80 police armed with
Remington rifles under his orders. Presi-
dent Ruiz demanded tire building to-day
through Gen. Ibanez, commandant of
the Panama garrison. Gen. Ibanez
has 700 well-armed men, and will
crush DIR. Cereva at once. The
disturbance, if one occurs, will be of
brief continuance as Cereva is very un-
popular. Two regiments of national
troops are in Panama, and it is thought
that order will be maintained. ANY
trouble that may occur win be between
the Liberals and Conservatives. An Eng
lish man-of-war is expected to be on the
station within forty-eight hours. French
and American interests are wholly un-
protected. There e a fear of a repetition
of the revolution of 1879.

CONGRESS WEARY OF ITSELF.
All Efforts to PrOlOng the Session Dis

All Efforts to PrOlOng the Session Dis
approved and Defeated.
WASHINGTON, July st seems to be
tolerably certain that Congress will close
its present session by noon on Monday
next, the last Of the regular appropriation
bills having been passed by the Senate to-
day. All OF the absolutely necessary work
of Congress remaining unfinished is now
in conference committee. 1t is thought
by leading members of the House that it
will be possible to close up this unfinished
business Saturday evening, and If this is
done the programme will be to take a recess
until Monday noon, that interval being
sufficient to allow of the enrolling of the
appropriation bills, and then to meet only
for the purpose of signing these bills. A
proposition has been under consideration
to take a recess from Saturday for ten
days so as to cover the
convention period, but this has
been set aside as impracticable. 1t was
concluded that if a recess of that
length were to be taken there would be
difficulty in getting enough members
back to Washington to make a quorum
in either House, that it would be
imposing unnecessary expense upon
the members, and that if Con-
gress were to assemble after the conven-
tion the session would be prolonged in
definitely. Under these circumstances it
was deemed best to hurry through the ap-
preparation bills and get away as soon as

emphatic declaration of that body in favor
OF tariff for revenue only" not the tariff
