BLAINE TO AID HIS BOOM
HIS VISIT TO WASHINGTON MADE
IN HIS OWN INTEREST.

He Brought His Backers Encourage
ment to Believe hat He Will Be
Asked to Join the Cabinet-An Ad-
mission That He Has Not Been
Asked to Do so as Yet-His Health
Good.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The hopes of Mr..
Baine's friends have been greatly strength
ened by his arrival here. He brought them
no news. They still say: mir. Blaine has
not been invited to enter Gen. Harrison's
cabinet yet" But he brought them en-
coura cement to believe that he will be SO
invited. They are predicting 1t confidently
now under the stimulous of Mr.. Blaine's
inspiring presence. They lay claim to 10
information, or even intimation, from Gen.
Harrison, but they insist that Mr..
Blaine is the first choice for the
cabinet of very large majority
of his party, and that inasmuch
as Mr.. Blaine is willing to go into the state
department and Gen. Harrison now knows
it. Gen. Harrison cannot keep him out. In
order that their prediction may come sure
they are oubling their efforts to impress
Gen. Harrison with TIE advisability of ap-
pointing Mr.. Blaine Mr.. Blaine has come
here to confer with them, as he could not
do by telegraph or mail, to this end. No
one but his friends see him out of all the
people who call.
DISCUSSED AT DINNER.
Last mig at Representative Hits, his
closest friends discussed the situation
around the dinner table. They came to the
conclusion that while Gen. Harrison appar-
emily did not wish toappoint Mr.. Blaine Sec
retary of State, he probably could be in
duced to do so if the present p essure were
increased. They agree to await the reports
of Senators Hiscock and Plumb, who both
went to Indianapolis in Mr. Blaine's inter
est, besides their own local errands, before
taking any new steps. Mr. Blaine is in ex-
cellent health and he has taken pains
that -all Washington shall realize it.
yesterday afternoon after he came in he
walked all over the fashionable northwest
quarter where his house and lot are. To-day
he walked with William Walter Phelps
over to the arartment house where he is
arranging for his family, who are expected
uext week, and then down Fifteenth street
and Pennsylvania avenue, part way to the
capitol. He stopped at Fourteenth street,
however, and turned north, leaving Mr..
Phelps to go up to the capitol alone, where
numbers of newspaper men overwhelmed
him with questions about his guest. He
told them all that MIR. Blaine was here
simply to arrange his winter quarters, and
that he had no present intention of going to
l dianapolis, having seen Gen. Harrison
during the camT aign, and having con-
graduated him afterward by letter.
HISCOCK AND PLUMB RETURN.
Senators Hiscock and Plumb returned this
afternoon from Indianapolis, and made
their report to Mr.. Blaine tonight. II was
not especially encouraging, since it con-
sisted chief. of what they had said to Gen.
Harrison abt ut the necessity Of putting Mr..
Blaine in the cabiaet The Blaine men rely
on the Blainn pressure to carry him in.
They say very little about the alternative
if Gen. Harrist n should not appoint Mr..
Blaine, but that little is threatening,

BISMARCK AND M0RIER,
LONDON's EDITORS STAND BY THE
BRITISH AMBASSADORS.

The Pail Mall Gazette Says that the
Son of the Chancellor Dlsgraces His
Name-The Globe Says He is Trying
to Initiate Secretary Bayard - The
Standard Declares Both Blameable.
LONDON, Jan 4.-The Pail Mall GGzette,
referring to the correspondence between
Count Herbert Bismarck and Sir Robert
Morier, the British ambassador to Russia,
i'll reference to the charges that the latter
sent information to Marshal Bazaine Of
military movements during the war of 1870,
says it regrets that Count Herbert did not
profit by the chance Sir Robert Morier gave
him to behave like gentleman aud man
Of honor. 1t is sorry that his subterfuge
discredits the name be wears. Emperor
William, says the GGsette, cannot desire
that his fathers friend should be insulted
by Prince Bismarck's son. 1t trusts the
emperor will offer such apologies as are now
necessary to satisfy the sense OF honor OF
the son and grandson of the most chiyal-
rous gentleman who ever lived.
AS RUDE AS POSSIBLE.
The Globe says:
Count Herbert Bismarcks reply was as
other He probably desired to emulate the
example of Secretary Bayard, but his i'm
itation was clumsy and without motive.
He is either a statesman lacking the neces-
sary manners to apologize for allowing him
self to b5 egregiously befooled, or his Gre
dulity is dellber ,te and he secretly ap-
proves Of the rumor he started, and finds
enjoyment in the insult at the expense OF
ANYBODY who is known to have been EN-
EroIApfnly 4 fpiaDH sir RnDAFf Mo-
ier may safely remain silent under such at
tacks in the future"
ACQUITTED BY ENGLIsHMEN.
The Star says: every EngIishmen will
unhesitatingly acquit Sir Robert Morier of
the charge against him and which has
caused hlm to be subjected to an absurd
and odious insult" Prince Bismarck, it
says, is incensed because the publication of
Emperor Frederick's diary robbed him of
his glory, and he is resolved to convince
Germany that Emperor Frederick dlvulged
information to Germany's enemies, which
was used to her detriment.
BOTH BLAMABLE.
The Standard says:
1--WE can say little for the discretion of
Sir Morier, and syill less for the sense Of
honorable obligation entertained by Coun
Herbert There is some excuse for the
former, but next to none for the latter.
Impartial judges, both English and Ger
man, will believe that Count Herbert made
the manner of Sir Morer's demand the pre-
text for declining to make amends"
ONLY PUBLISHED BY TWO PAPERS.
BERLIN, Jan. 4-None of the German
papers except the TdgbLatt and VoSSische
ZeitUng has published the Morier CORE
spondence. 1t is supposed to have been
suppressed by the semi-ofiicial news agency.
The publication of the correspondence has
created a profound sensation in Berlin and
Nienna.

BALTIMORE OYSTERS.

They Would Become as Rare as BIZ
sons II Dredging was Not Stopped.
BALTIMORE, Jan. 4.-There is decided
falling off in the receipts in oysters and
rise of from cents to 8 cents per bushel
A good grade Of oysters sell at from s. to
20 cents per bushel
The decrease seems due TO the recent ac-
tivity Of the Maryland oyster navy in pro-
tecting forbidden beds from the ravages of
dreigers. The dredgers being forced to
depend upon beds which their previous
recklessness has stripped of their treasures,
have found 1t almost impossible TO get an
adequate supply. 1t is said that II the
dre1ge s were allowed TO do as they please
it would only DO few years until oysters
we're as scarce in Chesapeake as buffaloes
now are on the prairies

TWO NEGROES LYNCHED.
Each one was Eager to Murder White
People of the Neighborhood.


New ORLEANS, Jan. A special from
Meridian, Miss, says: ain the neighbor-
hood Of the Roberts place twelve miles
northwest Of this city, there has been great
excitement since the Wednesday after
Christmas. The trouble appears to have
originated from bad feeling engendered
among the negroes Of that locality by
tho lynching Of a negro who en-
tered the house of Mr.. Houston at mid
night, and attempted TO murder one
of the inmates with an axe. The negro was
reCog lied and afterwards hanged. Since
that time the negroes have been making
threats and there has been bad feeling gem
orally. Just prior TO tho holidays an old
negro man reported that a conspiracy was
brewing TO kill certain white men in that
locality.
THE REPORT OORRODORATED.
"This report was corroborated by over
hearing a conversation between negro
reporting the existence Of co spiracy and
one Bud Spears. who, it was said, was the
ringeader among the negroes. Satisfactory
evidence being produced as to Spears in
tention and his determination to carry out
his threat, party Of masked men rode up
to his house on Wednesday, Dec 30, and
riddled him with buckshot. Another
negro who was at Spears house
was wounded in the hand,
but made his escape. Since that time the
white people Of that section have been
ferreting out the conspirators and arresting
negroes and trying them before justice of
the peace. Seven negroes were under
arrest yesterday and upon investigation
were acquitted. A number of men are
still under arms, but things are gradually
quieting DOWN.

committee on rules, abolisbing during the

overruled by the speaker, Mr.. Anderso,
raised the question OF consideration.
THE POINT NEW ONE.
After a long debate, the speaker said that
the question raised was an entirely new one.
The general rule of the house was that the
question of consideration could be raised
against any question called up. In this in
stance the facts were that the resolution had
been reported yesterday as a matter

decision with some hesitation and
doubt that under the circumstances the

ordering the previous question" said the
speaker, after delivering his decision.
