Blaine Calls Cleveland and Has Il
Pleasant Chat.

The New York Smm's Washington spe-
cial of the 14th says: Blaine visited the
President last evening. Colonel Lamont
met him and escorted him to the library,
where Cleveland was awaiting him. The
greeting between Cleveland and his guest
was very cordial, and after few minutes
pleasant chat, Blaine shook the Presidents
hand warmly and retired.
The World's Washington special of the
same date says: Blaine called through an
arrangement made yesterday. He sent
word that he would like to call and pay
his respects, and the President returned
word that he would be pleased to see him
at S o'clock this afternoon. Blaine arrived
at the White House promptly to the min
ute. He walked over from his house,
half:mile distant. On parting Blaine said
"Mr. President, I sincerely hope that the
country may be prosperous and contented
under your administration, and trust you
will find your life in Washington one Of
personal happiness" Cleveland thanked
Blaine for his cordial expressions, and as
sured him that between them personally
there could only be kindly feelings. The
President, being interviewed, said he did
not care to say anything beyond the fact
that the call was a pleasant one. The sharp
fight Of the campaign had evidently left no
heart burninss behind with the two who
had the greatest stake in it.

Three Outlaws Killed While Surrounding
Their Todd.

A desperate encounter between officers
and outlaws occurred at Springer, New
Mexico, on the 10Th inst. Last Sunday a
noted desperate, named Bill Todd, was ar.
rested there and lodged in Jail. He i,nme.
diately telegraphed the fact Of his arrest to
Dick Rogers, the leader of the most des.
perate gang Of outlaws in the whole South
west. Rogers appeared with number Of
his followers; went to the Jail where Todd
was confined, and attempted his rescue.
The officers opened fire from within, to
which the outlaws replied. A desperate
battle ensued. The attacking party finally
withdrew, leaving three Of their number
Dick Rogers, Ed. King and "Red River
Tom"-dead in the street. The remainder
Of the party hastily left town to summon
reintorce,nents. The citizens appealed to
the distlict commander, who promptly or.
dered the troops stationed at Fort Union to
move quickly to the scene Of action.
A Santa Fe special at 10 o'clock says:
The latest from Springer is to the effect
that fifty men have surrounded the Jail, de.
! termined to mob the officers, who have
taken refuge inside. The soldiers from
Fort Union are momentarily expected, and
may prevent further trouble. Company H,
Second Regiment, Territorial militia, at
Santa Fe, is in readiness to move ut a mo-
ment's notice.
The regulars from Fort Union arrived
at Springer at midnight. Cowboys are
t1ocking into town, but the presence of the
troops has produced wholesome effect on
the lawless element, and no further trouble
is anticipated.

National Silver Convention.


The national silver convention which
met at Denver adjourned sine die on Fri.
day. The meeting was controlled over.
whelmingly by the Colorado people and
was marked by many disgraceful petty
struggles which will injure its influence
and the effect of what real work it per-
formed. On the last day of the session
two important resolutions were passed.
The first demanded the free and unlimited
coinage of silver, the withdrawal of one
and two dollar bills from circulation, that
clearing house balances be paid in gold
and silver without discrimination, that na-
tional banks keep not less than Is per
cent of their revenues and all their re-
demption funds in silver coin and, that
until silver be restored to its rightful
equality with gold, the Bland silver law
be construed literally and faithfully exc
cuted. The second resolution asked pres
ident-elect Cleveland to appoint for Sec
retary of the treasury statesman who will
not work entirely in the interest of nation
al banks and Wall street brokers but will
recognize the great interests of the west
and south in shaping the nations financial
policy.

The residents of Three Forks or Bridge
vile in western Gallatin county havea
project to cut out circle from Gallatin,

introduced bill which provides for the

ated for the purpose. The governor shall
prohibit the importation of cattle from in
fected localities. County commissioners
shall levy tax of one-half mill on every

The Black Hills Tin Mines.

Professor Gilbert Bailey, who has fully
examined the tin mines in the Black Hills
says that the hills contain deposits remark
able for their extent and richness. Tin
occurs both in veins and in placers. The
district is situated around and on the
fanks of the main peak, named after
General Harney. The belt is horseshoe
In shape, thirteen miles in length, and
from two to three in width. The proper
ties now being worked number over fifty
lodes and vary from three to four feet to
about three hundred feet in width. All
the lodes are undoubtedly true veins.
New York capitalists control these mines.
The Professor says they have already been
so far developed that it is now asserted
there is enough tin there to revolutionize
the tin trade and supply the American
markets in great measure. without i'm
portations from Cornwall.

Platinum. .

The MadisOnian is greatly excited over
the discovery of platinum in Alder Gulch.
Knowing that this valuable metal is most
often found in gold placers, resident Of
the Gulch sent some of the concentrates
from placer gravel to Edison the great
electrician. He examined and returned a
considerable amount of platinum taken
from the concentrates. Platinum is the
heaviest, most ductile and most infusible
metal known and is more valuable and in
finitely less plentiful than gold. Its value
is increasing of late owing to the fact that
it is used to tip the carbon points in elec-
trio lights. 1t is a bluish-white metal
The Madisonian thinks that If a plan can
be discovered to separate the platinum
particles from the sand and gravel in the
old placers, Alder Gulch will produce in
future as much wealth as in the past.

BOtkin'S Case.

Last Monday the judiciary committee
of the senate brought up the question of
confirming Kreidler as successor to U. s.
Marshal Botkin of Montana. The papers
in Bothn's case were before the commit
tee but no action was taken owing to the
absence of the senators from Wisconsin
who had asked to be heard in Botkin's fa-
vor. The Washington telegram says: In
dlcations are, however, unfavorable to Bot
kin. The attorney general did not hesitate
to say that he believes him unfit morally,
physically and mentally to fill the position,
saying he is wreck in every one Of these
particulars.
