LONDON, December 22.-ColOnel Oliver
Payne, of Cleveland, Ohio at present in
this city, stated in an interview last night
that he retired from the management OF
the Standard Oil Company two years ago.
He was asked if he thought Mr. Cleveland

BLAINE'S PLANS.
Data Collected for Another Book-His Pro-
posed Visit to Europe.

WASHINGTON, December 22.-Mr. Blaine
will not return TO Washington this winter.
He expects To- remain in Augusta until the
spring at least. He finds the quiet and Sc
clusiOn of that place very useful 10 him
after the long years of political excitement
at the National Capital. Moreover, he is
gathering material for history Of the war
flSl2. The data are nearly all in hand,
and il is probable the opening chapters
will be written immediately after the hol-
idays
Mr.. Blaine will 90 to Europe next au-
tumn. He will he the guest of distiu-
guished men in Great Britain and on the
Continent. He will spend the major por-
ton of his time in France, Germany and
Ireland. II is expected by his friends
that his presetce in Ireland will create a
great furore. The effect OF this upon the
Irish race in America, il is thought, will be
to add greatly to Mr. Blaine'S popularity
with them. In Germany he is expected
10 make friends, but his piece de resistance
will be his visit TO Ireland. The present
programme is for him to return TO the
United States about SIXTY days prior to the
meeting of the next Republican conven-

Why Stanley Falls station Was Evacuated.

BRUSSELS, December 22.-Captain Col
quilhOt, chief of Bsygula station in the
Congo Free State, who is here on visit,
confirms the report that Lieutenant Du-
bois was drowned in the River Congo while
rtaking Stanley Falls station. The eyac-
uation OF the place by the whites Captain
Colquilhot attributes TO short supply OF
ammunition. The captain reports that
after an unsuccessful attempt 10 retake
Stanley Falls he punished the Arabs Sc
verely at Zoparra. The Captain does not
believe that the capture of Stanley Falls
station is prelude to an Arab descent on
the lower Congo, and says there Is plenty
of time to bar the passage Of the Arabs
should they attempt such move.
