BLAINEITES SCARED.
The Leaders See Power slipping fro
Their Crash.

The Leaders See Power Slipping from
Their Grasp.
PHILADELPHIA, March 26.--The Times
will publish tomorrow the following dis
patch from Washington:
ut is evident that the Blaine leaders are
both alarmed and confused. With Blaine
confessedly stronger than any other dozen
competitors with the masses OF the party,
they see clear signs of the Blaine leaders
losing their power to control the nomina-
ut Chicago. Allison, the leader of the
Blaine forces in the West, has started in
the race with good send-off from Iowa,
but there is no visible sign of concentra.
tion on him as the residuary legatee of
Blaine, and Sherman's admirable manipu-
lation Of his old treasury departments in
the South threatens TO make him strong
enough to control the nomination against
Blaine's friends, if he cannot command il
for himself.
1T is this alarming and confused condi.
tion Of things that called Charles Emory
Smith, Of Philadelphia, and Chairman b.
+. Jones, OF Pittsburg, to the Capital, last
week, to confer with Phelps and other de-
voted Blaine followers They see Cameron
quietly grasping the Blaine scepter in
Pennsylvania, Hiscock is making general
muddle in New York, and with Sherman
scooping the South, the Blaine managers
are flying the signal of Distress They see
that something must be done, and that is
why Phelps, Jones, Smith and others have
been in long and earnest conferences during
the last week.
While the deliberations Of the friends
Of Blaine have been guarded az carefully
as possible against publicity, 1t Is not gem
orally understood that they are likely to
make final rally for Blaine at Chicago, a.
the only way to prevent the control Of the
party from passing from them.
ut is expected that Blaine will be on
the ocean, on his way home, when the
meets, and there is no doubt
that it is the present purpose of his friends
10 have the nomination ready TO hand TO
him when he lands! 1t is the only way
that the power of Blaine over the party
IAN be maintained, and the control Of the
party, even in defeat, Is more important TO
Blsine's followers than success outside Of
heir leadership.u

A SMART DETECTIVE
CREATES A FURRY OF EXCITEMENT AT

PARsERsBURG, W. Va March 26.-
This city has been in furry of excitement
in business circles to-day over the appear
snce of Daniel McSweeney, member Of
the government detective agency of the
Sixth district. He came here this morning,
and went to the different banks, and asked
to see their silver certificates. At the
Second National bank he endeavored to
convince the cashier that certain class Of
five dollar silver certificates were counter
felt He said the adjoining counties to
this:were flooded with the bills He tried
in vari Gus ways to convince the cashier
that his bills were bogus, but he could not
see it, except in one respect, that the al
legged counterfeit was in the margin about
one-sixteenth of an inch shorter than the
alleged genuine bills.
After failing 10 convince the cashier he
asserted his authority ana attempted to
cancel u lot of the bills, which the cashier
refused TO let him do. From this bank he
went to Others and in one cancelled quite
number Of these bills He notified the
various places Of business, public build
ings, etc, that the bills were counterfeit,
and business was stopped to sse how many
were on hands, Some Of the banks
refused to receive deposits of the bills
Of this character and for time there
was good deal of excitement
Groups collected on the streets and COM
pared notes After day Of this excite
ment this government officer received
telegram from Washington saying that the
bills were genuine in every respect. This
telegram was in reply to bundle Of these
bills sent to Washington last night for ex-
animation.
To night it is learned that parties at
Harrisville, Richie county, were arrested
for trying to pass the bills. The denoue
ment of the affair has left the government
officer in bad standing here, and tonight
he is either laughed at or sworn at by
everybody. He left soon after he got his
Washington information.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 26.-Carl
Dreier, of Chicago, was cross examined be-
fore the House Committee on Agriculture
this morning in regard to the manufacture
of refined lard, but nothing of importance
was elected. Mr.. Wilson inquired whether
the business of refners would be injured
if they were required to put upon their
lard label, stating that it was compound
lard and giving the ingredients OF which
il was composed. The witness replied that
it would be disadvantage to the retners
if it was matter Of legislation and
compulsiOn 10 attach such label.
1t would carry sort Of inference
that something wrong had been done, and
in a general way such a requirement would
be disadvantage to the refiners, and it
would be slur upon the business. The
chairman laid before the committee the
following telegram, which was placed on
f.e from G. II. Webster, of the firm Of
