The Blaine Libel SHIT.
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 2-Argument
was heard to-day in the United States
District Court, Judge Woods presiding,
on the demurrer filed by the Sentinel
Company to the complaint of James G.
Blaine, charging libel. The attorneys
for the defense contended, first, that the
description of Blaine in the alleged libe-
lous publication was not sufficiently spe
cific and might have referred to some
other Blaine; second, the publication
was in the nature of an inquiry; third,
the article was not libelous in itself, and
Blaine, in order to recover, must sue for
special damages. The attorneys for
Blaine replied briefly and Judge Woods
took the matter under advisement. 1t
is not known when decision will be
given.

is feared that all aboard are lost.
