Mr. B. F. JONES' made the following statements
relative to his attiG1de toward Secretary Chand
ler in an interview hen with him in this city
to-day: .....
Ever since the opening Of the campaign ]
have avoided newspaper notoriety, for the rea-
son that man who talks all the time and is
continually rushing into print seldom says any
thing of material worth either to the public or
himself. Since my interview was published 1
have received over one hundred letters of in
quiry and have been visited by scores of newspa-
per men, but have not answered any of their
questions. ~
What have you to say about Mr. Chambers
Il never deal in personalities, so 1 do not
question Mr. Chambers statement. What l
said in that interview is the truth, and am in
the position to know what l am talking about
In reply to Mr.. Chandler | will just say that
everything l have already stated about Mr.
Arthur is absolutely true in every detail, and
everything was reported as saying is the I'M
vanished truth and cannot be denied.

try who does not know that told facts when
stated that Mr.. Arthur did not act as though he
favored Mr.. Blaine, and also that Mr.. Arthurs
conduct has not entitled him to credit as a pro-
tectionist He is a free trader to my mind
am not opposing him for any office the people of
New York desire to bestow upon him. / was
asked to state facts in regard to the position of
MIR. Arthur and his friends during the campaign.

true from my dealings with all parties and ele
ments during our contest last fall l made a
statement and it has to stand now for what it is
worth. have no fears The public is quite
familiar with the attitude of all factions toward
Mr.. Blaine, and no general denial such as that OF

CHARLEY ROSS.
Clew to the whereabouts of the Missing
Boy-Trafficking in Babies.


Baltimore Special.
Mrs. Mary Shutton, 81 Mulberry street, this
city, recently wrote a letter to a Lancaster Pa,
detective, in which she stated that while seeking
a child for adoption, she had found a woman
with stolen baby and photograph of Charley
Ross, who said that the long missing boy was
alive. To your correspondent to-day Mrs. Shut
ton made the following statement:
II recently lost my only child by death and
missing his footsteps longed to have boy in
the house Consequently some time ago, when
!, saw an advertisement in the papers of a mother
wanting some one to adopt her baby, answered
the notice, and a woman giving her name as
Mrs Maggie Hall. called at my house with ten
months old boy baby. which was extremely
bright and pretty. 1t captivated my
heart at once. Mrs. Hall, as she called herself
was about twenty eight years of age, and was
not very prepossessing in appearance The
child was poorly clad, but 1 was at once i'm
pressed with the idea that it was born of a gen
tier mother than this Mrs. Hall. The latter told
me that she was widow but that she had a
mother who was lying ill at a hospital in Phila-
delphia. She was very retlcent in speaking of
her husband When l asked her if she knew
she about to give up her child for good she
merely laughed and remarked that she supposed
50. This confirmed my suspicion that she was
not the mother of the boy. l then told her that
she would have to bring me proof of the childs
parentage before could accept it. 1t was after
| had said this that she showed me tho picture
of a little boy about four years old who she said
was the missing Charley Ross. After this was
so certain that the boy she wanted me to adopt
was either stolen or not her own, that wrote
the statement did not with the expectation
that it would throw any light on the case of
Charley Ross, but with the hope that the mother
of the infant if it was stolen might by this
means gain clew to its whereaboutsn

washington Special,
A sensation has been made in society here by
the announcement made. upon the authority OF
Mrs. Jerome Bonapart, that her daughter Miss
Constance Edgar will take the veil about Easter
time. Miss Edgar graduated last June at the
Georgetown Academy of the Visitation. She
then announced her intention of taking the veil.
Her mother desired that she would not decide
the matter before first going into society, She
accompanied her mother to Newport last sum
mer, and will probably go out to a moderate ex
tent this winter. A two years trip to Europe
had also been planned for her, but Miss Edgar is
so determined to take the veil that this trip has
been given up.

The national committee, too, appeared indiifer-

seemed to have adopted the idea that Mr. Blaine
could be elected without the vote of this great
State; and half the effort expended in West Vir-
ginio and some other States, with half the money
wasted in circulating what was little better than
obscene literature, would have given us New
