A TALK WITH BLAINE.
lie Thinks Cuba a Desirable Possess
sion at Any Cost.
LET THE DOMINION ALONE
And 1t Will Naturally Drift Into the
Union IN Tin,e-1he secretaryship
rendered Him Long Ago and
Accepted-A New Name.

New YORK, Feb. 13.-The Herald's
Washington special says: Recently Con-
gresham Milliken of Maine and his
cousin, Seth Milliken of New York, who
is a large manufacturer and has invest
ments in the south, called on Blaine on
private business. During the %conversa-
ton the merchant, who has known
Blaine for years, asked him 1T he was in
favor of the annexation of Canada.
Milliken says Blaine replied that he was,
but that he did not think it would be
brought about by agitation. In the
course of time he thought the Dominion
would naturally gravitate in the Ameri.
can Union. If we are reaching after
territory to increase our wealth and
strength, he thought Cuba should be
the place for us to secure first. I'm it's
relation to, health" said Mr.. Blaine,
Cuba is the natural home of pestilential
diseases, especially yellow fever, Under
the direction of our eminent s%anitarians
/ have not the slightest doubt that the
existing cause of this dreaded disease
could be exterminated from every part
of the territory of Cuba. In point of
economy it would be cheaper for the
United States to buy the island from
Spain at almost any cost rather than it
should be a constant menace to the
health and prosperity of the southern
states. The cost, directly and indirectly,
to the business of the country during
the last yellow fever was greater than
the value of Cuba, even if you put it
on a mere money basis. But when you
consider the peril to life which the fever
constantly brings, its purchase would
be dear at any price. The next object
which makes it valuable is its relation
to the United.States as a strategic ooint}
1t actually commands positions which
we ought, in the natural order of
things, 10 possess and control. In
regard to its contributing to our wealth,
Cuba in the hands of Yankee people,
and by that ! mean the thrifty, ener-
getic, inventive American race-would
add immensely to our prosperity. I'm
der the control of skilled labor its pro-
ductive would be increased u
hundred fold"
Mr.. Blaine also spoke with freedom
about his acceptance of the position of
secretary of state in Gen. Harrison's
cabinet, and said P~resident-elect Harri-
son rendered HIM the position a few
days after the election and did it in such
a cordial way that he at once accepted
1t in the anne spirit.

Gen Noble a Cabinet possibllity.

INDIANAPOLIS. Feb. Politicians
have discovered that Gen. Noble of st.
Louis, n of the leading attorneys of
that city, is among the cabinet POSSIBLE
ties. He is named for attorney general.
What particularly recommends and
renders possible, if not probable, the Sc
lection of Gen. Noble is the fact that he
is not identified with any party faction
in the state. 1t is said that the with
drawal of Hon. John b. Henderson's
name from the list of cabinet possilili-
ties was ,neeess,tated largely upon these
grounds.
Gen. Harrison had. perhaps, as man
as 3uo callers, chiefly delegates in at
tendance at the third annual meeting of
the Lincoln league of Indiana. Among
