not much occasion seems to have arisen for get

Quedenfeldt, n German officer, who has lately
spent some time on the Island of Gomera, one
OF the Canares, reports that he found whist
ling language" in existence among the inhabi-
tants of that island. These people, Spanish by
race, mixed with the blood of the ancient Afri-
can aborigines of the island, the Guanches, live
a free out-of-door life. Lieut.. Quedenfeldt says
that they have developed n way of making
themselves heard aud understood at distance,
by means ~ moduated whistles. The whistle
is produced by blowing through the fingers,
and certain changes Of position i'm the fingers,
and varying ways of placing the lips, serve TO
produce different sounds, which are made TO
represent sylables or words. The Gomera peo-
pie, moving from hill 10 hill or saluiing

converse without difficulty at "A distance of a
mile, making themselves perfectly understood.

learned this strange, whistling language.

HoosIeR CAMPAIGN SONG.

Hurrah for the grand old Hoosier state,
Her sons so loyal and true,
Three rOusing cheers for Matson and Myers,
Who so nobly wore the blue.
Thrice three times three for the victory won
In eighteen eighty-four,
When riding high on the radical tide
Our ship came safe to the shore.

Undoubted, firm and true,
Then the mantle of Gray will surely fall
On Matson, who wore the blue.
The battle note has sounded,
So grid your armor on;

And stand for Cleveland strong,
For he's the man TO tide us DER

As he did in eighteen eighty-four,
With Hendricks of our state.

New YORK, May 5.-''The comments in

to a reporter, and he pointed out the
paragraph. II said that the story of the
Philadelphia Times correspondent was,
like the recent stuff about Mr.. Blaine's
dreadful state of health, chiefly bosh.
Continuing, Mr.. Reid said: 81 do not
know that need say any more. There
is nothing in the story"
"Then you believe Mr.. Blaine viii not
be a candidateY
Gle has done all in his power to pre-
vent il. He was perfectly sincere in with
drawing his name from consideration, and
he did il in good season. Tie did il against
the earnest and vehement protest OF every
friend, so far us know, who had any idea
of what was impending. The field
has been absolutely open and free
ever since TO any candidate who could
give reasonable promise of carrying enough

convince the party that he could probably

had revamped. His denials had been categori-

the senate should have precluded Ingalls, from
Extensively insisting on his assertions. VOORHEES,
finally blistered his adversary with the lie
direct, and there really seemed nothing else for
him to do. Ingalls, had raked up matter which
was antiquated and which had been denied
many times, and his recklessness as to facts
was shown when he picked up on the moment
from his Indiana coacher the 'bell-rope story,
and used it without investigation. Voorhees,

about whose strength in the doubtful
states it feels an equal degree of conf
dence, it may finally conclude, as Mr..
Lincoln did at the critical period of the
war, that the volunteer business is played
out, and that draft must be ordered
That contingency may never occur, and at
present it is certainly distant But if it
should occur, l believe the service
OF the republican party at this
time to be, in the higest sense,
the service of the country, and
see no reason why Mr.. Blaine, more than
any other citizen, who has sought and re-
ceived hOnors from his party could or
should be exempt from his draft. To re-
fuse under such circumstances, in fact
would seem not unliked desertion in the

Columbia CITY Post,

Mr.. J: H. Bass of Fort Wayne is the demo-
cratic elector from this district. The fact that
Mr.. Bass is a democrat and enthusiastically
supports tariff reform will have a great weight
with the people. He owns probably the largest
manufacturing establishment in the state and
makes more car-wheels than any man in the
world. If tariff reform means destruction OF
the manufacturing interests of the country, we
would not find such men as Mr.. Bass favOring

The democrats of Indiana will give Presi-

support with the result that he will have
larger majority than he had four years ago.
He carried the state then in the face of difficult
ties far more formidable than any that will CON

again next November and the republicans may
as well accept that rs n fact TO begin with when

Chairman Jones Denial.

PtTTSBURG, May 5.-In an interview to-
day with Chairman Jones, OF the national
republican executive committee he said so
far as Mr.. Blaines health was concerned
he was well as he ordinarily is, barring
slight cold. 'Some of the stories told
about him." said he, "are absurd. To
group some OF them into one general de-
NAL / may say that Mr.. Blaine has not
decided to be a candidate, he has not
asked his friends to make an aggressive
movement in his behalf, he has not
written any letters declining the nomina-
ton second time, and it is not true that
he will be~beyond the reach of the tele-
graph when the Chicago convention is in
session. Mr.. Blaine said he desired to re-
main abroad two years but feared he
would not be able to do so. / would not
be surprised to hear he was coming next
month or that he would stay away until
next year No time has as vet been fixed
for his return. There is no DENYING the
fact that ever since the declination
there has been a growing senti-
ment among republicans that Mr..
Blaine should accept the leadership of the
party in the next great battle. This
movement has great strength, and will be
powerful, if not the most powerful ele-
ment in the next convention. L do not
think that it is the intention of Mr.. Blaine
to come out squarely as candidate, or TO
plumply ask his friends to support John
Smith or John Jones. He is only human,
and may of course say, tSo-and-so is my
friend, and l would like to see him NOM

The Monkey Actors.


Herr BrOckmann's monkeys arrived in
HOboken yesterday morning on the steam
ship Saale, after a somewhat stormy and
uncomfortable passage, wherein il was inn
possible for most of them to do more than
wish to die. Their manager says that
champagne and deviled crabs produced no
more effect upon their seasickness than
plain peanuts, and that when he endeav-
ored to rehearse them in few OF their
parts they all with one accord swarmed
over the side of the ship as if wing with
each other TO be first in the race for relief
and escape.
The reason why these actors are called
Pavians is that they were all raised in
Pavia in Italy. They have divers Chris
tan names, but their family name is and
will always remain Pavia. Victoria
Pavia, the leading lady OF the COM
pany, may not strike some people as
pretty, but it is not her fault. She is a
bleached brunette, and does not wear a
hustle Her favorite part is .StephGnie in
"FOTget-NIe-NOt," in which Rose Coghlan
is so effective. 1t is said to be a terribly
realistic moment when Victoria tackles
the sofa pillow as means OF relief to her
pent up feelings during the denunciatiOn
of Stephdnie by one of the dupes in the
play. A new sofa pillow has to be pro-
vided at each performance.
There are fourteen Pavians in the

goats and eleven Shetland ponies The

HOW BLAINE LOST NEW YORK.
The Interference of National Committee
men Costs n Heavy Price


NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 1.-THE American
tomorrow will publish an interview with A.
NJ. Hughes, ir, chairman of the republican
state executive committee, regarding the fail
ure of Roscoe Conkling to actively support
James Ct. Blaine in the last presiden-
tial canvass. Mr.. Hughes gives these
facts, never before made public.
In brief Mr. Hughes said that soon after Mr.
Blaine was nominated, Senator Chaffee, the
father-ln-laW OF L. 5. Grant, jr., and one of the
foremost republicans in the West, realizing the
Importance of securing the assistance of Mr..
COnkling for Mr.. Blaine in New York, came
East and went 10 New York for that
especial purpose; that Senator Chaffee,
earnest conference with Mr.. Conkling, secured
from him the promise that il Mr.. Blaine would
write him a personal letter requesting his
Sistance that he (Mr. COnkling) would reply in
an open letter with a pledge to actively sup
port him in the canvass; that Senator Chatfee,
enthused at his success with Conkling, got
the first train which left New fork after this
pledge was given by him and went to see Mr..
Blaine at his home in Maine.
The situation was explained and Mr.. Blaine
promptly wrote the desired letter to Mr.. COnk-
ling. This letter was given to Walker Blaine
to be carried by him in person to Mr.. Conkling
as a delicate compliment and Senator Chaffee
reioiced that his mission was done, disappeared
from the scene. He anxiOusly awaited the
publication of the response from Mr.. Conkling,
but it never came. Investigation proved that
Mr. Blaine carried the letter to New York, but
on his way to Mr.. Conkling's house stopped at
the national republican headquarters, mention
ing the purpose of his presence in New York
to Steve EllIins, Ii. +. Jones, chairman
of the republican national executive
committee, and one or two others. These
managers decided that il was best TO ignore
COnkling and that the letter must not reach
him. Accordingly it was suppressed and the
world knows the result. The animosity of
Mr.. COnkling was intensified at the addi-
tional afiront and Blaine lost New York.
Mr.. Hughes is positive that these statements
were correct for they came directly from one of
the gentlemen who suppressed the letter. This
man revealed the circumstance after the death
of Conkling and when il was not thought that
Blaine would 90 before the next convention.
