DEPEW is ON DECK.
The General Belief Is That He
Will Stand

CHICAGO, June 16.-Chauncey M. De-
pew arrived in the city tonight, but has
had no time to consult with his friends.
and his decision regarding his candi-
dacy will not be made known until
Monday. The general belief is that
he will stand. Depew patriots made
their appearance in the hotels to-day,
and in the headquarters of the New
York delegation is large floral shield
bearing the words, "Depew and Vic
tory" This bit of decoration was
ordered by Elliott f. Sheppard, of New
York, a son-in-law of one of the Wander
bilts. A good deal of opposition to the
Depew candidacy is developing in the
West. and the opinion of many leading
men is that Mr.. Depew will not be an
earnest suitor for the honor. but will
be satisfied with complimentary
vote. And yet this is one of the uncer-
tainties of the most mysterious situa-
ton, BY Tuesday or Wednesday his
movement may developd into. some
thing real and strong, with New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut almost
solidly behind him. Mr.. Phelps, of
New Jersey, and all the leading men
from the three doubtful states of the
East claim Depew could carry these
states and this is no small argument in
his behalf.

DISCOUNTED IN ADVANCE.
The Coast Men, 1t Is Claimed,
Have Overdone the Boom for
PIoino

Blaine.
CHICAGO, June 16.-All day the thou
sands of onlookers here have been en-
deavoring to ascertain what the effect
has been of the projection by California
of an additional Blaine boom into the
canvass. Tonight the general verdict
is that the effort, bold and picturesque
as it was. has not greatly affected the
situation. A comment often heard is
that the effect of the Pacific coast boom
was discounted in advance, as it was
known in Chicago yesterday what the
programme of the Californians was to
be. Furthermore, the coast men have
OVERCOME THE BUSINESS,
and have had narrow escape from
making it ridiculous. Such declarations
as that made by their chief spokesman,
"That it would be rank treachery to
nominate anbody but Blaine; that no

of the Nebraska delegates are

of the Texas nah, and the statement is

STILL ANOTHER LETTER.
Steve Elkins Has One Which Sasy
the TattOoed Man Will Accent,

CHICAGO, June 16.-A few of the
Blaine men, notably Steve Elkins and
r. G. Kerens would like to have the
work of the convention so shaped as
to make Mr.. Blaine the final outcome,
and they are supposed in a certain
way to be making an effort
to that end. There is rumor
that Elkins and Kerens have letter, in
duplicate, from Miss Dodge (Gail
Hamilton) written two days after the
Paris letter of Mr.. Blaine, in which the
statement is made: ''lf the country
insists upon having Mr.. Blaine for
leader he will accept and Immediately
return home and begin the canvass"
The facts about this matter are that
the letter was written just after the
Florence letter, and not after the
Paris letter of Mr.. Blaine, and was adj
dressed to Elkins. The significant feat
ure of it is that Elkins and KerenS have
been consulting as to whether they
should publish the letter or not, and
have allowed the fact to leak out that
they have such a letter. This means
that these men and few of the ''old
guard" would like to help along the
Blaine movement.

DIES MONIES, To-, June 16.-The po-
lice received telegram this morning to
apprehend two men who had robbed an
old farmer at Denison of S1,5OO. De-
tective johnson and another officer
went out on the Nor thwestern road and
arrested the two men near Sheldahl.
They made an attempt to escape, but
were captured and found to
have $3.50 of the money on
their persons. Sheriff Moody and two
deputies came down tonight and took
the men to Crawford county, having
closely followed them since yesterday
afternoon. The robbers are desperate
professional criminals, and robbed the
old man by one of them pretending to
want to buy farm. When he went
with the old man to look at the farm
they were met by his confed-
crate in a secluded place in some
got the old man, whose name is
Eastman, to show his money, when the
man in the buggy cody passed it over
to his confederate. He then backed off
behind revolver and got away. His
friend stayed with Eastman to give
time for the escape of the other. He
promised to refund the money to the
old man, and actually went to dinner
with him after the robbery. The robbers
give their names as Wilson and Green,
but they are only one of the five or six
names they have used in the last two
days.
Two boys, named Willie Colfax, aged
ten, and George Selton, aged seventeen,
were drowned in the Raccoon river here
this afternoon while in bathing. The
latter was taken with a cramp while
trying to save the former. The bodies
have not been recovered.

Modification of loan of Arc.
London News

The head of the Franciscan Order in France has memorialized the pope in favor of the justification of Joan of Arc. This will probably lead to re- newal of an old and embittered dis pute between the French Catholics and the French Radicals. The latter maintain that, as the Catholic priest hood helped to burn the Maid of Or leans, they have no right to appropri- ate her memory to the glories ot their faith. This is the new party view of the question; the old one is recorded in Voltaire's scandalous page. The republic is now disposed to make a bold bid for the exclusive ownership of the maid as patriotic heroine, and to compete with the priesthood for the right to celebrate her exploits. The contest has been all to the advan- tage of Joan of Arc, for both sides now unite to dos osher honor, where for merly she had to be content with the homage of one. Radical Paris has al- ready given her 8 statue; and a relig- ious committee at Rheims has iesued an appeal for subscriptions to pur- chase another for the cathedral porch. The maid, no doubt, will reck but lit- tie, if they will let her sleep on.
