Chairman Jones Speaks as to Its
Probability.

PrrrsBuRa, May Sin an interview
to-day, Chairman Jones, of the Ma
tional Republican Executive Commit
tee, said, SO far as Blaine's health was
concerned, he was as we'll as he ordi-
narily is. He said: "Blaine has not
decided to be candidate; he has
not asked his friends to make an ag-
gressive movement in his behalf; be
has not written any letters declining
the nomination a second time, and IL
is not true that he will be on the
ocean and out of reach by telegraph
when the Chicago Convention is in SEES
sion. Blaine said he desired to remain
abroad two years, but he feared he
would not be able to do so. / would
not bessurprised to hear he was COM
ing home next month, or that he
would stay until next year. There is
no denying the fact that ever since
his declination there has been a
growing sentiment among Republi-
cans that Blaine shall accept the
leadership Of the party in the next
great battle. This movement has
great strength and will be q most
powerful element in the next Conven-
ton. / do not think that it is the in
tention OF Blaine EOcome out squarely
for any candidates. He is only human
and may, Of course, say 80 and 30 IA
my friend and ] would like to see him
nominated, and such an expression
would have great weight"

ANOTHER NEW BLOCK


-
and Second.
Within sixty days it is expected
that another addition to the archi-
tectural beauty of Los Angeles will be
commenced. This time it will be a
six-story and basement, Sespe brown
stone building, on the corner of Spring
and Second streets, to be known. as
the Burdick Block. The plans for
this building are already completed,
ard the architects, Messrs. Preston &
Son, are now engaged in drawing the
working plans. The basement will be
fitted up for offices, with lights from
the sidewalk, and the roof will be
covered with Spanish thing. The
front portion ofthe first floor will be ar
ranged SO that it can be used either
for banks or offices, and in the rear
fronting on Second street there will
be three stores. The Railways on
this floor will cross each other at
about the center of the building-one
having a thirteen-foot entrance on
Spring street ard the other an
eighteen-foot entrance on Second
street. The stairway and elevator
will be placed at the intersection.
The next four stories will be arranged
very conveniently for offices, and will
contain over hundred rooms. The
top story will either be used as a resi-
dence or as club-room. The build
ing will cover an area fronting 60 feet
on Spring street and 148 feet on Sec
ond. The outside finish will be very
imposing, but there will be no
bay windows. There will be no de-
livery of goods over the sidewalk, ar
rangements having been provided for
their reception in Mott alley and con-
veyed from there by elevators and
railways. The building has been SO
arranged that parties renting the
three stores fronting on Second street
may have part of the floor above.
When this building has been com.
pleted the intersection Of Spring and
Second streets will be the most inn
posing in the city. The cost OF this
building will be SIPS, 900.

New York, May 5.-Interest in the
Methodist Episcopal Conference in
.creases daily. To-day there was a
larger audience present than on any
previous day. Bishop J. T. Hurst
presided. The order OF business was
suspended for the purpose Of giving
the Committee on Rules an oppor-
tunity to report. A number Of amen d.
ments were made to the rules. They
were unimportant but created much
discussion. Various committees were
then announced.
General Clinton B. Fiske then took
the floor to advocate the admission of
women. General Fiske contended
that there is nothing in the law OF the
church which says lay delegates shall
not be women. 1t would be revolu-
tionary to turn the women out by q
vote Of the General Conference, and
the church could not afford to ex-
clude them. care we so cowardlv,"
asked General Fiske, ''that we would

Rev. A. j. Kynett, Secretary Of the

the admission OF women, and said
that the Baptists and Congregational
lists admitted them to their Confer
ences.

BERLIN, May g. The Emperor's
sleep was unbroken for several hours
toward morning. 1t was the best
sleep he enjoyed for many
weeks, and he awoke from
| it with good appetite and
in good spirits. He cannot walk
step, though he was able to stand oc-
casionally. The danger is that in
event of a recurrence OF the crisis,

incident with the visit of Queen
Victoria, whose success in
counseling him proves to be
more enduring than was anticipated.
The return Of Prince Bismarck's
rheumatism has shown the advisa-
bility of an early resort to Ems, but
the condition of the Emperor still
forbids his leaving his post. The
resurrection of the Pan-Slavism
party in Russia has reawakened
alarm in official circles. The Cars
reinstatement of Gen. Bogdanotich in
his former position in the Russian SER
vice is not an isolated proof that an
open adoption of an offensive policy
approaches. The Cologne Gazette
suggests that Pan-Slavism is grow
ing mightier than the Gear himself
and may force his hand and cause
him to enter into a fighting alliance
with France. The official Gazette of
Berlin, interprets his position in a
similar way and it is believed the war
party has convinced the Car
that the next French elections
will return the war ministry
and that Russia ought to be ready to
cooperate with France. The sensa-
ton of the week has been the failure
OF Manufacturer Heinrich Huffer,
whose works were at Grim
mitzschan. This event attracts
attention beyond it's intrinsic
Importance as result Of the tariff
measures of Russia. The Unterhouse
OF the Reichsrath has been the arena
of some of the liveliest encounters
ever known in the Austrian Parlia-
ment. For three days groups forming
the majority have been engaged in a
fierce attack upon DR.. Gautsch, the
Minister of Public Instruction,
apropos Of his education budget.
For once, the members, old and
young, Of the Tcheque group have
found common cause with the Ger
man group, and it is thought
from utterly opposite reasons. The
Germans charged DR.. Gautsch with
organizing Salvation in Austria. The
bohemian deputy Herr Krepek in
the course Of a violent grafton against
the clerical and anti-German ten
denotes embodied in the proposals of
Prince Lichtenstein as approved by
the Government, declared that their
