DE BAUsSET'S AIR-SHIP.
The Aerial Boat Scheme Which Uncle
Sam is to Assist.

Sam is to Assist.
Copyright 1855, by the California associated Press.
WASHINGTON, June 18TH Chairman
Landes, who reported to-day, favorably,
the bill appropriating $150,000 for DR.. A.
de Bausset, of Chicago, for steel air and
passenger ship, says that he thinks it posi-
BILE the doctor has solved the problem of
aerial navigation. When the doctor has
expended $4,000 in its construction and
the Secretary of War certifies to the Secre-
tary of Treasury that in his judgment,
there is reasonable hope of the success of
the ship, then the Government is to pay
De Bausset $75 600. and on the successful
navigation of the ship the other $75, 900 is
to be paid.
The main idea of the plan is to construct
an enormous steel cylinder that is lighter
than the air it will contain, and when the
air is pumped out. the cylinder will rise
like a balloon. The question of propelhng
is not so simple. The Chief of Govern
ment Civil Engineers has certified to the
House Committee that De Bausset's caicu-
lations in regard to the steel cyciinder are

CHIcAso, June 13th.-A dispatch from
Pittsburg to-day says: Chairman 3. F.Jones,
of the Republican National Committee, left
last night for Chicago. He had in his pos
session third letter from James G. Blaine,
which he had Just received from Scotland,
and which is TO be read upon the assem-
bling of the National Convention Tuesday
In it Mr. Blaine states most emphatically
that he will not permit the use of his name
in connection with the nomination, and
that be would not accept it, though it were
rendered him unanimously. He indicates
Senator John Sherman as his choice for the
position, and pledges his hearty support for
the ticket nominated.
A delegate TO the National Convention,
who is strong Sherman advocate. says he
knew such letter was to be written BY
Blaine, inasmuch as the latter had an
agreement with Sherman prior to his de-
parture for Europe to the effect that he
would support him in his candidacy.
Mr.. Jones was seen upon mis- arrival here
and asked regarding the dispatch. He said
he could not talk before the assembling of
the Convention. He would neither deny
nor affirm the statement, and this is taken
to mean that he has such letter and will
read it when the Convention is organized.
The news creates panic among the con-
tingent which has been growing rapidly of
late, and which had determined to nomi-
nate Blaine whether or no, and make Gov
ernor Foraker of Ohio the running mate
to offset Thurman. There will be great
breaking of states at the last moment if
this is true.
DIscRBDITED IN BOSTON.
Boston, June 13th.-The Pittsburg
leaders interview with Chairman Jones,
wherein the latter is made to say that
Blaine has withdrawn in favor of Sherman,
is not believed here. Manley and friends
of Blaine in Maine say that the story is
lie, and they don't believe Jones ever said
that Blaine favored Sherman, and he is
mistaken if he does. The opinion is still
on here that Blaine is for Blaine.

WASHINGTON, June 18th. = Sherman's
managers here are more enthusiastic to-
night over the Ohian's chances for the
nomination at Chicago than they have
ever been. They claim with emphatic con-
fdence that they have $40 votes sure. 1t
takes All to nominate. If the Sherman
men are not misled. a strength of $40 votes
ought to insure the chiefs nomination.
These figures, however, include 35 Penn
sylvanla votes which the anti-Sherman
men confidently say are by no means to be
relied on. While Sherman will get the
bulk of the Southern votes, his managers
claim some votes in about every State If
he has some strength in every State that
will prove powerful lever in massing his
strength, as well as magnet to draw float
ing votes.
POSSIBLE BLAINE COMBINATIONS.
it's the general impression that among
the delegates who cling to Harrison will
be found the most stalwart Blaine men.
If the Blaine idea prevails, then Blaine
himself may be nominated after a dead
lock, with Harrison for Vice-President,
or Harrison will be nominated with Phelps
or Morton on the ticket.
Another Blaine combination puts Phelps
at the head of the ticket. Mr.. Phelps and
some of his warmest friends are hopeful of
this latter plan, and argue that it would
insure the State of New Jersey to the Re-
publicans. Mr.. Phelps pledges himself to
carry his State. On the other hand, those
in the same council who prefer Harrison,
and think it wise TO have New York man
on the ticket, put forward the ticket of
Harrison and Morton, and fling the Senate
to Mr.. Phelps to keep him warm until
some other time.
GREsHAM's FIGHT.
Mr.. Payson is the accredited spokesman
of Judge Gresham's friends at the Capital.
He said to-day that the movement in the
direction OF Gresham was progressing in a
way entirely satisfactory to him. He said
he felt great confidence in the success of
his man. The impression, he knew, pre-
vailed about here that the Gresham boom
was antagonistic to the Blaine sentiment.
This, he declared, was a false impression
Nine out Of ten of the men who most
earnestly support Mr.. Gresham were earn
est Blaine men as long as he was in the
field, and if he were a candidate before the
Convention new would be supporting him
They are Gresham men because they ac-
cepted Mr.. Blaine's letter of withdrawal,
and they believe Judge Gresham is the best
man for the Republicans to nominate. The
Blaine men of the East will soon discover
how this is when they reach Chicago.
