Blaine Receives Frequent Despatches
 of the Conventions DOings. -r
 NEwCAsTLE-oN- TYNE, Juno 21. - Andrew Carncgic's stylish four-in-hand started North yesterday fer his beautiful seat in Scotland. James G. Blaine and his wife and daughters were the honored guests of the famed Penn- svlvania iron manufacturer.
 MT. Blaine was in constant receipt of news from the Chicago Convention, but he declined to discuss the possibilities of being nominated. His wife and daughters read the despatches with apparently more eagerness than MT. Blaine, and their manner indicated that they felt disappointed that he was not a candidate. Should MT. Blaine be nominated it is probable that he will consent to enter another presi- dential battle, unless he proves deaf to the app .als of his family well to those of his political friends.

Two Enterprisinr Jews,
