SOMETHING TO SAY.
Creates the Demand for Another Story
About Secretary Blaine.

NEs YORK July Il.
The Herald has this dispatch
WAsHisGroS, July l3.
The report is current tonight among dip
lomatie and official people that Secretary
Blaine has rendered his resignation, to take
effect September neEt. The reasons given
are that the duties ot the State Department
are 50 exsctlng that Blaine's health, which
has not been of the very best lately, has
been undermined, and by the advice of his
physicians has concluded To take n much
needed rest. 1t is also stated that il is not
unlikely that he may be sent abroad.
John A. kasson, one of the Commissioners
to Berlin to negotiate on the Samoan treaty
is spoken of As a successor to Blaine.
just before the President left for Deer
Park he said to friend that further action
IN regard TO changes in diplomatic and con
sular services would be deferred at least
two months. This would seem to explain an
anticipated change.

with ladies with cigars in their mouths. SO
much indulgence has been shown by the

Three Ftfths Rule for Redemption OF
Legal Tender Notes,

The United States treasurer has ordered
that in the future the redemption Of legal
tender notes by the trcasur, department
shall be made on the basis of the three ii fths
rule in vogue in the redemption Of national
bank notes. Heretofore the former were
redeemed on the basis of the tenths that is,
Il mutilated note was redeemed at n value
proportionate to the part presented, counting
in tenths Under the three iifths rule. if
that part OF a note Is presented, it is redeem
ed at its full face value, but If less than
three tfths is handed in nothing is paid un-
less an affidavit is filed, together with eN-
dence to support its veraci,y that the missing
portion of the note has been destroyed
Thus, under this rule, the person presenting
the note gets all or nothing instead OF pro-
por,lonate number of tenths of the full

their fourth consecutive victory over the
nine from the Capital city. The Augustus
were unfortunate in making errors at times
when they were the most costly. 1t took
but two of these to turn the tide in favor of
the Lewistons, when the Augustus were three
to their two at the end of the third inning
The batting of both teams was excellent, the
Lewistons leading by two singles. The game
abounded in excellent playing and the spec

movements of the teams
For Augusta Freeman did the fielding of

out four of the heaviest hatters in the Lew

them in season to do any good.
The Lewistons played their usual fine
game. Tony kesrins occupied the box for
the team and struck winning gait r.
