DIR. Richard s. StOrrs on Blaine.

Special to the Commercial Gazette.
New YORK, June 13.-In an inter
view DR.. Richard S. Storrs, of the
Church of the Pilgrims, said: GAS to
Mr.. Blaine, have only certain general
impressions. | never met him socially,
and have never felt the least touch of
that personal magnetism which is often
attributed to him. But some Of the at
tacks made upon him have seemed to
me almost brutal. For example, when
he was smitten with sunstroke in
Washington in 1876, l think 1t was
openly charged that the whole thing
was pretense that he might avoid an
investigation. When the man was
hanging on the edge, between life and
death, with the chances largely in
favor of death, that seemed to me near
ly as base thing as ever was said.
Then when lately the first volume of
his history was published, it was stig-
matized as campaign document by
some of them opposed to him. have
read it and certainly any statement Of
that sort seems to me an absolute mis-
representation. 1t is written carefully,
very impartially, with large knowl-
edge of the subject, and with what
strikes me as quite remarkable per-
ception of moral and political tenden-
cIes and discrimination as to personal
character. Then it has been charged
that he has made millions out of the
Government and has become q man of
enormous wealth through his connec-
ton with public affairs. | believe this
is now universally conceded to be un-
true. AS to the matters alleged against
him in 1876, if that was the year, | re-
member to have been Impressed at the
time by the remark of gentleman in
whom had great confidence, who was
not partisan of MIR. Blaine, and who
came to the conclusion after a good
deal of examination, that while he had
been doubtless indiscreet in his action
and correspondence, and had fairly laid
himself open to every damaging inter-
pretations, he had really done nothing
to demand political ostracism, or a de-
cisive moral condemnation, inasmuch
as the Republican party has nominated
him, in q convention fairly chosen, at
time when he was quite out of public
Office, and had been so for more than
three years, it seems to me reasonable
to assume that all are wiser than one. -

Major Mckinley in Wellington.

This rising young statesman for the
first time spoke here in the Town Hall,
Friday evening. There was good
house, and among the audience a good
proportion of ladies', and of mature and
elderly men. There was patient, eager
attention, sympathetic endorsement in
many countenances, frequent hearty
resoonses and at times emphatic APP
plause, particularly when tender and
appreciative reference was made TO the
martyred Garfield. There was enthu-
siasm, evidence of party loyalty, proof
of disposition to stand by ideas and
principles which they believe to be
right.
The speaker was vehement, earnest,
eloquent. He compared the records of
the Republican and Democratic party,
made some sharp hits, discussed tariff
and free trade, and touched upon plat
forms and candidates. Ii he had been
talking on a religious theme, or pI EACH
ing a sermon, those not in sympathy
might have accused him Of being un-
duly excited, and have said that man
ner more cool and dispassionate, a
lower tone, and the conversational
style, would have answered every pur-
pose for the subject.
But that is not the way men do when
they wish 10 influence an audience.
Whatever of personal power or mag
netism, of convincing or persuasive
argument, of earnestIess aud energy,
Of eloquence of tongue or voice they
can command, they use.
Major Mckinley has fine presence
and ability as presiding officer, which
last appears to be recognized, as he was
called to the Chair in the Chicago Con-
vention and was equal to the respon-
sible duty Of guiding and controlling
that turbulent body. He is candidate
for Congress this year for the Canton
district with fair prospect of election.

fore him. E.

descending manner, and had heard with
amazement quiet negative from the
young lady's lips.

dence that any corrupt promise was
made to secure the passage Of the bill
reviving the land grant to the State of
Arkansas, and Mr.. Blaine's attitude in
regard to it was not different from that
of all the members of both houses of
Congress, for there was no opposition
to the bill.
Sixth-When Mr.. Blaine acquired an
interest in the Little Rock and Fort
Smith Railroad he had the same right
to do so that every other person had (;
and when the bonds he sold to his
Maine friends declined in value he took
them back as he had agreed to do-a
transaction which would be utterly in
comprehensive to professional mani
pulator of railroad securities.
Seventh-There is not scintilla of
evidence that the Little Rock and Fort
Smith bonds purchased by Tom. Scott,
and by him transferred to the Union
Pacific Company, were the same as
those held by Blaine, and the attempt
to make this appear failed completely
upon the very testimony upon which
the charge was grounded.
These items comprehend, we believe,
a fair and candid statement of the en-
tire business so far as Mr.. Blaine's
name is involved. From this statement
it does not appear that Mr.. Blaine was
improperly influenced in the position
he took in regard to the Arkansas land
grant, but it is manifest that he could
not have taken any other position with
out misusing his power as Speaker, nor
without placing himself in antagonism
to both houses of Congress. Many
months later he identified himself with
project in which he had confidence,
and induced certain Of his friends to in
vest at the same time; when the enter
prise proved to be improbable he took
the entire loss upon himself. So far
from being discreditable to Blaine the
transaction stands to his honor.

A Treacherous Foundation.
IN. Y. Times 1

In the construction of the New York.
West Shore & Buffalo Railroad peculiar
strata was found north of Catskill. There
nature held all the material in equilibrium.
First was found eight feet of white clay,
and belowsthat fifteen feet of blue clay.
Between the two was very thin sand
strata. This forms the subterranean drain
age for large section, where springs, rills
and rivulets are unknown. By the weight
of the road-bed the material was slipped
away. The secret was found to lie in the
fact that underlying the whole country
was much less solid material, almost as
light as mari. The effect of an embank.
ment on hillside was that the material
would disappear in the ground. Piles ff-
ty.fve feet long, driven when the road was
building, now have their bases 1O5 feet be-
low the surface. Another effect of
the filling at places was to com.
press the sand strata, thus shut
ting of the underground drainage, result
ing in lifting vertically the surface of the
ground. By this irresistible process at

struck rock points, with eddies on either

Blaine and the Little Rock ana Fort
Smith Railroad.

Chicago Tribune.-First-The bill re-
newing the land grant to the State of
Kansas (of which the Little Rock and
Fort Smith Railroad was to some ex-
tent the beneficiary, was passed by
the House of Representatives April g.,
1863, after it had already passed the
Senate without objection.
Second-It was not until the follow
ing 0ctober-six months later-that
Mr.. Blaine acquired an interest in the
Little Rock and Fort Smith enterprise.
Third-At the time the bill was pass
ed Mr.. Blaine had no acquaintance with
Caldwell, one of the two "friends" in
whose interest he is charged with act
ing, and Mr.. Fisher, the other friend,
was not in any way connected with the
enterprise.
Fourth-Mr. Blaine's connection
with the bill was in sustaining point
of order made by General Logan that
an amendment to the Senate bill pro-
posing to tack on the El Paso subsidy
was irrelevant and not germane to the
question. 1t is admitted that this rul-
ing was sustained by the House, which
voted unanimously for the bill; and
that any other ruling would have been
supplementary and unjust.
Fifth-There is no charge that one
dollar, or bond, or acre of land, or any
thing was used in Congress, and no evil

At the solicitation of some of the leading
trade and industrial organizations of the
country, the Secretary of State last winter
directed the preparation of circular let
ter with view to securing through consu.
lar officers the fullest obtainable informa-
tion concerning the condition of labor
throughout the world, and especially in
Europe. Very full returns have been re-
ceived from Consuls everywhere and are
now in process of preparation in the Bu-
reau of Statistics of the State Department
for the press. The material embodies in
formation relating not only to the rates of
wages paid to all classes Of laborers, but
to the prices paid for the necessaries Of
life, clothing, rent, food, ETC., not only
from the American standpoint as to what
the necessaries of life comprise, but the
actual nature and quality of the articles
consumed. Information is also to be
given upon the habits of the work
ing classes, their steadiness, trustworthi-
ness, economy or otherwise; upon the feel

enters into the settlement Of disagreements
between employers and employees; upon

Omar D. Conger, of Michigan, has
head now iron-gray, and dark face
slightly wrinkled. His eyes are sunken,
but his step is as vigorous as ever. heard
the other day how he happened to go to
Michigan. The story is that after he had
graduated at Hudson in 1912 he went to
Ravenna to practice law and there fell in
love with a judges daughter. The young
lady, however, who was exceeding fair,
refused his offers, and though he pressed
his suit, continued still to fundamentally
refuse. During this time Mr.. Conger, so
the story goes, was employed to defend.
young man in breach of promise case,
and in this case he employed the father OF
his sweetheart to assist him. In his ar
gument he took occasion TO remark upon
the beauty of the girl, the plaintiff, and to
speculate, much to the amusement of
the court upon the probability of such
a fine girl taking a real fancy to such
a rough looking fellow as his client. The
opposing lawyer then made furious on
slaught on Conger, referring to his rela.
tions with his sweetheart in such way
that Conger was thoroughly overcome,
and left the court. Soon after he went to
Port Huron, Mich, and there soon acquired
lucrative practice, was married. and in
time came to Congress. His Ravenna
sweetheart also married, and married well.
Her husband took her, am told, to the
West. They had several children and
prospered. After a number of years, how.
ever, the husband died, and the widow de.
cided to make visit to Europe to distract
her grief. On the way there she passed
through Washington, and one day went
into the gallery of the House, and, looking
down, wondered whether she knew any of
the members. Among them she saw her
oldlover, Omar D. Conger, who by this
time was also widower. She sent her
card to him, and he came into the gallery.
He called upon her several times while she
was in the city before she left for Europe,
and when she returned the two were mar.
ried. They now live together here in fine
house on NJ street, near Thomas circle, and
am told there is not happier and more
loving couple in Washington.
