WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-Blaine's let
ter was the leading topic of political
gossip to-day. Blaine's avowed friends
in congress show a desire not to express
their opinions, but intimate that the let
ter only emphasizes the disinclination
which he has shown to press his claim
for the nomination. Prominent men,
known as opponents of Blaine, hail the
letter as an actual withdrawal on his part
from the presidential race.
The house committee on public build
ings will favorably report many bills for
the erection of buildings. Among them
is the senate bill introduced by Vest for a
structure at Helena, Mont, to cost
100000.
\ decision was rendered by the United
States court to-day in the Chinese immi-
grafton case of the United States against

which Jung All Lung was discharged

Carleton Coming.

Mr.. Carleton and his splendid company
next week comes flushed with an UMPIRE
cedcnted triumph in San Francisco,
where for three weeks past he has been
PLAYING at the BALDWIN theatcr to the
largest business ever done in light or
comic opera in the critical metropolis of
the coast. He will give here the two
greatest successes of his engagement
there, Tie Merry Var and Dorothy. The
first named is the recognized masterpiece
OF the great wizard of the waltz, Johann
Strauss. 1t is full of Intoxicating music of
the master, it comprises a charming story
most charmingly told in song and speech,
and it gives an opportunity for rich cos
tumings and nountings, and the intro
duction of a march by fair warriors which
is declared by the critics to be of really
glittering beauty. Dorothy is the reigning
success in London, where it has been
running to packed houses every night for
the past two years at the Prince of Wales
theatre. 1t made an hit in
San Francisco when produced by Mr..
Carleton. 1t is said to be the daintiest
creation in light opera. Mr.. Carleton
promises a display of the finest dresses
ever worn on the stage in this country
superior to anything he has ever shown
before. The company is stronger than ii
has ever been before. The appearance Of
the company will be next Saturday, Feb.

ST. PAUL, Feb. 1S.-Three prisoners,
Billy O'Connor, the notorious Minneapo-
lis post office robber. Frank st. Clair and
VIM. Thomas, both awaiting trial for
highway robbery, escaped from Ramsey
county Jail early last evening, and pros
poets for their recapture are considered
doubtful. The escape was made by saw
ing four bars from the cell door, which
let the men into the'upper corridor. From
there the prisoners reached an attic by
saving through eight bars forming the
roof Of the corridor, and then cutting
through the ceiling. A hole was then
cut through the sheetiron roof and a rope
made of hammocks torn into strips was
lowered to the ground between the Jail

Two Ways. Chooee Which.

There arc two usual ways of doing what
nature sometimes does incom pletely,
namely, to relieve the bowels. One is to
swallow a drastic purgativc which evacu-
ates profusely, abruptly and with pain,
the other is to take Hostettcr's Stomach
Bittcrs, the effect of which is not violent,
but sufficiently thorough, and which does
not grippe the intestines. If the
first is selected, the person en-
ploying it need not expect perma-
ncnt benefit, and he cannot hope
to escape the debilitatlng reaction which
leaves the organs as bad or worse off than
before. If, IN the other hand, he resorts
to the Bitters, he can rely upon the re-
storation of a regular habit of body, con-
scquent upon a renewal Of a healthful
tone in the intestinal canal. Besides
BEAUTIFULLY relaxing the bowels, the Bit
tiers arouses a dormant liver, imparts a
beneficial impetus to the action Of the
kidneys, and counteracts tho early twinges
Of rheumatism a tendency to govt, and
malaria in all its forms.

road, they will reduce grain rates from all
Nebraska stations and Missouri river
points eight cents per hundred pounds.
This Is a heavy blow to the Iowa and
Chicago trunk lines, as they have about
1000, 900 bushels of grain cribbed and
stored in Western Iowa, which will be
hurried to market at a reduced rate.

Fire in st, Paul.

visited the Ryan block this morning. Two
upper floors Of the building, occupied by
Foote, Schulze & Co., manufacturers of
boots and shoes, were discovered to be on
fire about 6 o'clock, and the probability
was at 10 o'clock that the machinery used
in the factory and also the stock would be
a total loss. The firm carried a stock of
about $500, 900; insured for about $780,
900. The insurance ON the machinery is
$4,000 and on the building S35, 900.
The Ryan Drug company next door to
the fire was damaged by smoke and water
$4,000.

New YORK, Feb. Ex-senator Haw-
ley, who is in the city, was asked if he
considered Blaine's letter as final. He
said: Il do; most assuredly | do. |
think he means every word that he has
written. There can be no doubt as to the
sincerity of Blaine in this matter. Cir
cumstances may arise that will compel his
friends to refuse to accept this as a final
answer from Blaine, but that no one
knows anything about"

Blaine to be out of the race for the presi-
dency nowP | believe he peans every
word in the letter that appeared in the

know for some little time hat such a let
ter was forthcoming. 1t is a great disap-
pointment to his friends"

and means every word that he has writ

whether | had any ~premonition of his in.
tentlons in this matter, but | can say pos
itively that Blaine was not anxious to run
in 1884, and was urged to do so. He
certainly will not be a candidate, and you
can see from his letter that he does not
decline because he thinks the Republican
party would be defeated.
THE EVENING POST
says: ave think that Blaine's let
ter to Chairman Jones of the
Republican national committee does
actually take him out of the field as a
contestant for the nomination for the
presidency. We think that this will be
the effect and the net result OF it, whether
he so intended it or not"
