IT is reported that Chairman Jones,
of the Republican National Committee,
has third letter in his possession from
Mr.. Blaine, in which tie q Maine
Statesman" declares that he will not
allow the use of his name IN the Chi
cago Convention, and that he would
not accept the nomination if it was
rendered him unanimously. 1t seems
that he has not got over the shock his
nerves received in 1884 yet, and it is
doubtful if he ever will be the same
man that he was before he fooled with
the Democratic buzz-saw. If the only
man the Republicans have the least
chance of electing is so ratified that he
SO emphatically and earnestly and per-
reiterates his declination,
what prospect is there for the success
Of either of the second-class men who
have run up their rods to attract the

Mr.. Haskell has created quite SEN
sation in Portland by en- address at
the Mechanics Pavilion, Monday even
ing, ON the prevalence of yico in that
city. The lecture fills nearly four
columns of small print in the Oregoniam
of the succeeding morning. In noting
the violation Of the Sunday statute by
saloon keepers in that city, he said:
" 1 first caused census to be taken
of the saloons, nearly every one OF
which DOES it's heaviest business ON the
Lords day, in defiance OF the American
idea that on Sunday secular business
is to call q halt. After ascertaining
from the records of the city that there
were l64 saloons, found it necessary
to ascertain the nationality Of these
saloon violators Of Jaw. The result
showed twenty-fOur native born Amer
leans and lao Of foreign birth. When
CAME W COuSuiI tuc tdbt CCu6Qos !
found that the population OF Multi
nomah county was divided as follows:
Seventy per cent. of native born and
80 per cent. foreign born, which would
give. estimating the population of
Portland proper to-day at 10000, 49,
600 native born and 1000 foreign
born. found the native born citizens
furnished one saIOoD lawrbreaker to
every 1,166 native born citizens, but !
found that the foreign born citizen
furnished one law-breaking saloon
keeper for every eighty-six foreign born
citizens. In other words, l find the
foreign born population is furnishing
fourteen times us many law-breaking
saloon keepers as the same nnpber of
American-born citizens. This was an
alarming discovery, and it has sent dis
may to the patriotic heart"

WHEELING WINS rHB FOURTH STRAIGHT
VICTORY OF THg HONS SERIES.
A Wsl-POught Contest on The Island PARK, fssisr-
day Afternoon Wheeling Playing Fine
Ball-0thr Games.

The Mansfield team, fresh from two
victories over Canton and three straignts
from Columbus, met with the home team
on the Island base ball park yesterday al
ternoon in the first Of series OF three
games. Wheeling base ball lovers seemed
70 think that the home team would have
an easy victory Of Mansfield, and only
about 400 turned ont to see the game
Those who went, however, saw a hne
contest in which the superior playing Oh
the home team won for them another VIC
tory, making the fourth straight since the
team returned.
Flanagsn's fine work in the box and "
terson,s great work at short were the
features of the game for Wheeling, while
somers' pitching proved rather puzziing TO
the home team. NcDsrmott's umpiring
in several instances was bad. Bailey,
of last years Wheeling club, caught q
GOOD game for the visitors, and when he
first went to bat was presented with o
fiue bsauet of flowers by an admirer.
Bailey is a good, honest ball player and o
gentleman. A. a..
Wheeling made two runs in the first
With two men ont Otterson got base on
balls, stole second and third and scored on
Cropsn's hit, who scored on S.ape's bit to
Allen and his wild throw to first. stape
was left on third. In the third three more
were added. Yak hit safe and went clear
home ON Nichols hit to left and let's
error, which took Nichol to third, whence
he went home on passed ball. staPleton
then lined out fine home run to centre
field fence. In the eighth the sixth run
was made by Michel on his three Dagger
and Lersch's bad throw to Bailey Of Gro
gau's fly.
The visitors made their first two runs In
the third, when, with two men out, Berger

Such was the musical feast at yester-
days Commencement exercises at Mt. de
Chantal. A well-balanced and altogether
satisfactory programme it was, and the
various numbers, vocal and instrumental,
were rendered in just the manner to be ex-
pected of the pupils of one Of the most
noted music schools in America.
The literary portion Of the programme
wss decidedly brief. including, as it did,
bat two papers-Miss Reilly's very just
estimation of ''Scott as an Intellectual
Companion" and Miss Hale's valedictory
but the lack of variety was abundantly
atoned for in the very decided merit OF the
young ladies' productions. TS5 psPss
were sufficient to fully show that the
school excels in other matters as well as
in its music department.
None of the Commencements of recent
years, satisfactory though they were, seem
to the writer, as he passes them In review,
to have been quite as enjoyable as that OF
yesterday; and the fact must be taken as
an Indication that the Mt. dc Chantal
school is steadily mounting upward, its
conductors striving each succeeding year
to improve upon the results of the one
lust brought to close.
That continued and enhanced success
may he meeted out to it, Is the wish OF all
friends of education.
