RAILWAY MATTERS.
A Big Railroad Scheme.

The Hartford Courant lays out big
scheme for the enterprising people connec-
ted with the Boston & Maine, as follows;
"What If the Boston 4 Maine railroad
should lease the New York, New Haven and
Hartford and the New York and New Eng
land and operate both as part OF its line from
New York clear through to the far down
East?' The Boston j. Maine. paying 10 per
cent. dividends, with its stock above 200, has
already taken in the Eastern and the Boston
and Lowell and consequently the Massachu-
setts Central. Its policy is decidedly ag-
gressive, and long ago the story spread that
New York was its destination. 1t has fought
the Boston and Albany already, and is not
afraid of it, as the Consolidated Boston is.
If the Consolidated takes the New England,
that is supposed to mean war with the Bos-
ton and Albany. But If the Boston and
Maine takes both, it will only be extending
policy that 1t has already initiated, and 1t
can work its two acquisitions together; III
the Old Colony offers obstacles at the Shore
Line end, then the New England can be
used as a Boston connection. The whole
scheme would make a strong combination,
certainly, and there are many evidences that
something is up-either this or some other
arrangement"

mr.. Blaine Talks.


New YORK. May 2l.-The New York
Press today publishes Especial cablegram
from Paris reporting conversation with
Mr.. Blaine. The Press correspondent in
formed Mr. Blaine Of the activity of his
friends in trying to bring about his nomina-
tion by the Chicago convention. He also
read to him the statement contained In the
New York World in regard to his probable
strength in the convention.
Mr.. Blaine had not heard the full details
Of the reports about his strength. Naturally
he was not displeased, but he stated with
out equiyocation that his Florence letter and
his later statements to Mr.. Crawford, of the
World, represented his present attitude with
complete truth. He felt sure, he said, that
after his letter, stating that his name would
not go before the Cfiicago convention, had
been published, the mary acknowledged
leaders of the Republican party, East-a2d
West, would be actively pushed for the nom
ination, and he was glad to see that they
mad been brought forward so honestly.
Mr.. Blaine could not see why so many
should assume, even in matters OF the great
est Importance to his domestic and personal
interests, as well as those of his party, that
1t was impossible for him to be honest. He
did not want to be candidate and he had
reasons which were personal to himself and
which-as they could so readily be imagined
he was under no obligation to make known.
The fact was he had been through one terri
bly, hard fight. 1t had been a cruel strain
upon his family as well as upon himself and
while he could never be accused of willingly
sinking any Of the duties of leadership
which the Republican party had honored
him with, he yet felt that he had right to
draw out and leave the fight to other hands,
especially since they were plentiful and
quite capable of winning the victory for pro-
lection and other good Republican ideas.
When Mr.. Blaines attention was called to
the reported fact that his friends in New
York city, Platt, Elkins, Reid and others,
were quietly working for him, or at least
were taking no pains to discourage others in
New York State and elsewhere who were
disposed to favor him first and last at the
convention, the Maine statesman said that
he knew nothing about it. He did not be-
lieve that his friends who knew him best
would do anything to show that they mis-
understood his position or were willing to
allow others to misunderstood it, The pros
poets of Republican success were too good
for any loyal Republican leader to fritter
away the confidence of the party by any
course that would be uncalled for as well as
dishonest.
Mr.. Blaine's health, the correspondent
says, is as good as man of 60 could be ex-
pected to enjoy.
