chauncey m. Depew Speaks of Mr..
Blaine.

CHICAGO, June 4.-Chauncey NJ. DepeW,
who was in town to-day attending the an
s WESTERN efs Rafoad Gompany eas lad 'sS somstbnr
to say to reporter with whom hetalked con-
cerning Mr.. Blaine. He said: Il am heartily
in favor Of Mr.. Blaine's nomination in 1888.
His speech on the Irish question, in which
thoroughly coincide, was one of the ablest
made in this country for many day. As
the foremost American, his ability to deal
with the topics of the time, and to grasp with
a strong hand the foreign issues which now
press upon us, becomes hourly more mani
fest, and if the convention were to be held to-
morrow he would be nominated and there
after elected with rush."

feited in case of treason, and every passible
precaution has been taken to insure permen-
cy For the past two years several manu-
facturers have remained outside the. combi-
nation, and cut prices, so that goods in many
cases have been sold at loss, and in no case
at profit. These were but six manufaetur-
ers in the United States, scattered through
New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania,
so an understanding was quietly and quick
ly obtained. The new combination is called
the Table and Stair Oil Cloth Association,
with an office in New York. These factories
produce about a million pieces of goods
yearly. Each mill is allowed to sell certain
proportion of its total product, according to
capacity For every yard in excess of it al
lowance it pays fine, and for every yard
less than its allowance, it receives a bonus.
The company has also issued list of prices.
The extent of the advance may be judged by
the fact that goods that are to be sold by
agents at $2S5 a piece, have been jobbing
freely at 81. .12A $2.10 and $2.eO. AT the end
of the season the Association Commiss ioner
visits every jobber, and if he has adhered
stricly to the price list, the company allows
him fair profit in the shape of fixed re-
bate proportional to the amount of goods
marketed.

use of personal notes which were substitut-

of his tracks in keeping the books.

Interesting Trial in Milwaukee, Wis.


MILWAUKEE, Wis, June 4.-ln the i'm
peachment trial of Alderman Rudzinkski,
yesterday, Jos. Michelski, an employe at the
Bay View rolling mills, testified that he was
out OF work during the days of the riot and
was present when Alderman Rudzinski made
the speech calling upon the assembly to pro-
ceed to Bay View. Should they find obstacles
in their way, or in case of resistance, Rud-
zinski said they would know best what to do,
adding that if they ever attained their point
they must do SO. Then Rudzinsk insisted
that the crowd carry the flag. He said it
would loook better. These events occurred
after the Kosciusko guard had fired in the
air at Bay View. The witness said the mob
would never have gone to Bay View had it
not been for Rudzinski. An unsuccessful
attempt was made by Ebbitts, attorney for
Rudzinski, to show that Michelski, as well as
other witnesses, had been hired by Captain
Borchordt to give the testimony that was be-
ing brought out, and at one time a hot ex-
change of words passed between the attorney
and the captain. Rudzinski has large list
of witnesses to bring up, which will probably
take the trial into next week at least.

NOTES.
When asked about the story that the Bos-
ton Base Ball Club would be recognized,
Mr.. SOden, who is in Boston, said that the
first intimation he had that such move was
contemplated was when it was called to his
attention by publication. 1t was certainly
news to him. The changes named would
hardly be the ones he should be likely to
make. and he thought the story must have
originated in the brain of some fanciful en-
thusiast in the base ball line
