straightforward Answer from Blaine.

WHEELING, October 5.-Blaine has
written the following letter to Hon.
VIM. Mckinley Of Ohio:
BELLAIRE, October 4, 1sS4-Io Hon.
Vim. Mcianley, III. c., Canton, o.: My
Dear Sir have your favor stating
certain charges against me which you
wish to be able to contradict authorita-
lively. | answer you promptly and
decisively.
First. 1t is utterly untrue that [ ever
advocated IL residence Of tWenty-one
years as q requirement Of naturalization
in the country. / always opposed the
parry that suggested it. [ think the
only change in the naturalization laws
for which / ever voted in congress-, was
to admit those foreigners who had hon
orably served in the Union army to
citizenship without the delay required
of others.
Second. / never voted to impose a
tax OF ten dollars per annuln on miners
| By the internal revenu laws framed to
raise money for the expenses of the war,
| prOprietors Of mines Were taxed ten dol
lars per annum, just the same as law
| yers, physicians, builders and other
callings were, but the individual miner
the man who actually worked in the
lnine-Was not in the least affected Ivy
the tax. I voted for the tax on proprie-
tors of mines, as | did for every other
tax needed for the support of the Union
armies. The tax was repealed fifteen
years ago.
Third. [ do not own and nevor did
own an acre of coal land. or any kind OF
land in the Hooking valley, or in any
other part Of Ohio. My letter to Hon.
Hezekiah Bundy in July last on the
same subject was accurately true.
Very truly yours,
JAMES G.. BLAINE.

into Fort Mead, along with a lot or 40

Robbery on the Santa Re


DENVER, October 6.-Tle Tribune
Republicans Emporia, Ks, special says:
Early Sunday morning an attempt was
made ten miles west of here to rob the
Santa Fe passenger train. The robbers
evidently intended to ditch the train.
Two rails were u%nspiked. but were not
removed, and when the passenger train
came along it was running at such speed
that it passed safely over the rails
When the robbers saw the train flying
by with the rich booty they evidently
became enraged, as they. fired a volley
after it, the bullets striking the cars in
several places. Fortunately no one was
hurt, but following the passenger came
a freight, which was ditched, killing
the fireman and seriously injuring the
engineer. Further particulars are not
vet learned.

A Stage Line to Maple Creek.

We have learned upon good authority
that in the coming spring a stage line
will be established from Maple Creek,
on the Canadian Pacific railroad, to Fort
Benton, This will be a good move and
no doubt will be a paying institution
from the beginning, and in lieu OF a
railroad, will give the inhabitants OF
this section another means OF getting
east. 1t is said that better time can be
made to st. Paul than over the North.
ern Pacific. At all events, it will be of
great advantage to northern Montana,
a few mouths ago it was reported that
Gilmer, Salisbury & Co. would operate
a line from Helena to Maple Creek, since
which time nothing has been heard rel
alive to this line. We have also been
informed that the time on the new line
will be less than thirty hours. We shall!
be glad to see the establishment of mail
and stage service to the Canadian Pacl-
fic, because it will add still further to
the importance which Fort Benton is
fast assuming in the territory.
