CHAIRMAN ESTES ADDRESS.
A Strong Blaine Sentiment Still
Cropping Out in All
Directions.
Special to TIM wAsn1varoy cnrr,c.


CHICAGO, June 20. - The combat
thickens. The only change observable in
the confused situation is the more pro
nounced sentiment favorable to Blaine.
The undercurrent is so strong in his
favor that the friends of all other candi-
dates recognize his overshadowing in
iluence.
The unrestrained and spontaneous
sentiment here is all for Blaine.
Johnny o Brien, the boss of Republi-
can politics in New York city, tells me
he will vote for Blaine and not for Depew.
He says n large majority of the delega-
ton prefer Blame to any other candidate
and will so manifest their preference at
the proper time.
Other prominent New York delegates
confirm O'Briens Judgment.
Greene u. Raum, an earnest and vigor-
Gus worker for Sherman, tells me that
the issue lies between Sherman and
Blaine, all Others out
This statement, from such source, Is
fair Indication of Blaines progress
toward the front
The suggestion of Mckinley as dark
horse only illustrates the general disinte-
grafton going on in all the booms, and
strengthens the conviction that Blaine
alone can unite the convention.
1t is possible that if the convention
should not ballot for few days no other
name but Blaine's would be presented.
AT the headquarters of the several can.
didates showing of hope is kept up to
encourage the howlers, but the Blaine
sentiment is oyershadowing everything
else.
Colonel Perry Carson, with his lofty
stature, tall white hat, Blaine decorations
and earnest gestlculations, attracts the
gaping multitude in the hotel lobbies.
Aquarter of million enthusiastic Re-
publicans are gathered here from all sec.
tions Of the republic. Itis the grandest
meeting ofcitizens in the history of the ma
tlon and indicates the deep interest taken
in the Presidential contest. No issue since
the war has aroused the people of the
North with such intense earnestness in q
campaign as the impending conflict be-
tween protection and "free trade.n

A New Joan of Arc.

A prophecies has arisen at Chartres, the
diocese most favored in France by super
natural visions. She calls herself Marie
Genevleve du SaCre Cmur, and declares
that Jesus appears to her in visions. Her
story is that He desires the foundation of
a religious house at Loigny, where there
was fight between the Prussians and the
pontifcal Zouayes III 1870. THIS house
is to be the parent one of an order of the
Spouses of the Sacred Heart of Penitent
Jesus, and the nuns who enter il are to
devote themselves to prayer and pious
works, so as TO avert the Divine anger
from France and bring about the restora-
tion of the monarchy under Charles ri.
Marie Geneyieve was not told in the
vision whether this Prince is Don Carlos
or the member of the Naundorif family
known as Charles Louis, but in good
time q further revelation will be made.
The Bishop of Chartres has decided after
due inquiry, that the prophecies has no
good evidence to show in support of her
revelations. AS his decision was secuted
he has caused it to be published. Marie
Genevieve has been interviewed. She re-
fuses to retract. God" she says, ICON.

was the next to arrive, and he elbowed
, his way through the dense crowd in the
corridor with an energy that demonstrated
that he was in for the fight.
But when he reached the door he found
ii barred by the broad shoulders of Major
Edmund Nj. Smith, who was officiating
as sergeant-atarms to the committee. AT
his right stood Senator Riddleberger, who
|. was in something of Il hilarious mood,
and on his left was q good-sized group of
friends Of the contesting Wise delegation.
Malone pushed his diminutlye form
between Smith and Riddleberger and
placed his hand on the knob of the door,
Smith Clutched II in a second. "Your
business, please2' he asked, politely. II
want to go in," was blahone's reply.
This room is reserved for the Committee
on Credentials" responded Smith, II

up the General.
''No you are not, shouted q voice in
the rear
General Malone looked quickly around.
There was fire in his eye, and il might
have gone hard with the man who had
given him the lie could he have been
identified Then the same voice in the
rear shouted q second time; "He ain q

After the roll had been called General
Bingham was placed In nomination for
chairman of the committee, and although
he protested that he wanted to be on the

the voice of Senator Riddleberger could
be heard through the halfclosed door,
