WASHINGTON, Feb 6.-There Is no i'm
portance attached TO talk OF Blaine recon-
sidering his acceptance Of the portfolio OF
State. He is not contemplating such
course. The report was started upon the
assumption that John @. New was slated
for the Treasury. The known relations
between Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. New, or
want OF relations, made II seem not at all
probable that they would both sit at the
same council table. But 10 assume that
Mr.. New was TO be made Secretary of the
Treasury after Mr.. Blaine had been offered
and had accepted the portfolio of State,
was TO attribute to Gen. Harrison a want Of
tact, to say the least. There are very good
reasons for believing that ex-Secretary
Window and not Mr.. New il TO be the
Secretary Of the Treasury. II Is said for
Mr. New that he does not want the posi-
ton and that he has so informed Gen
Harrison. Moreover, il would hardly be
regarded as discreet 10 throw the additional
confusion into the situation that would
come OF discordant elements in the Cabi.
net. Mr.. Window would be personally
acceptable to Mr. Blaine and personally is
a close friend OF Gen. Harrison. There
ale reasons 10 believe that Mr.. Window
has been decided upon, Mr.. Blaine having
been consulted in the matter.

MISSISSIPPI REPUBLICANS.
They Withdraw Their State Ticket and
Appeal to the Nation.

The Mississippi republican state executive
committee were in session at Jackson Saturday
and decided to withdraw the remainder Of
their ticket from the field, Chalmers and Fra
zee, candidates for governor and attorney gen.
eral, having already retired from it. The COM
mittee have issued an appeal in which they say:
I'VE know that our votes would be stolen and
our voters driven from the polls, but we hoped
in the larger towns and cities at least the
semblance of free speech might still remain to
us, but our candidates are not safely allowed to
discuss or protest - 3" The Constitution of the
United States guarantees to each state a repub-
lican form of government. Mississippi is gov
erned by minority despotism and we appeal
to our country for redress. The Constitution
that we adopted is the only one in the
south so satisfactory that it has not been
changed. Our laws stand substantially
unchanged and unrepealed, but we are
republicans and this is our offense.
That we are not actuated by cowardce in with
drawing from the contest is shown by our past.
For fourteen years, ever since the infamous
Mississippi plan was adopted, our path has
been marked by the blood Of our slain. We
refer not only to such well-known slaughters
as Kemper and Copiah, Clinton and Carrollton,
Wahallala and Vicksburg, Yazoo City and La
fore, but to nameless killings by creek and
bayou. on highway and byway. These are the
democratic arguments which crush us. We
can do no more. We dare no longer carry our
tattered and blood-stained republican flags.
We appeal to the nation. Is national law and
honor but a delusion and a snare? When we
rely upon the guarantees of the national con-
If so. announce the policy boldly and acquit
of further effort "

Romantic Marriage in the Hostile Toll
liver Martin Families.

A marriage, which may end one of the blood
lest and most celebrated feuds ever known in
Kentucky. occurred Saturday morning in
Rowan county. At Pine Spring at 8 o'clock
Grace Martin and Frank Tolliver were welded
They are among the few survivors Of the Toll
liver-Martin feud. Grace is the youngest
sister Of John Martin, who was killed by Craig
Tolliver, and his brother Frank is the youngest
brother Of Craig Tolliver who, in turn was
slaughtered by the other side. Neither is over
twenty years of age. While the feud was in
progress Grace and Frank fell in love and, by
exercising the greatest care, conducted their
courtship in secrecy. A few days ago they an
nounced to their relatives that they intended
to be married. There was much opposition on
account Of the bitter hostility between the two
houses, which has cost twenty lives, but the
young people insisted and the neighbors said it
would end the feud. So the wedding was cele-
brated with great ceremony. The surviving
members of the rival houses attended and after
the marriage agreed that they would fight no

THE DIAMOND FIELD.
The Reserve List-The Worlds Cham
pionship Games, Etc.

The reserve list Of ninety players published
yesterday morning contained no surprises. It
seldom does. The name of Tom DAILY did not
appear in washington's list for the reason that
he played last year under contract that did
not contain a reservation clause. Carney's
name was substituted, probably more for the
purpose of an opportunity to sell his release
than any other reason. Keefe was the four
teenth man. Thus, with the exception of DAILY.
the entire team was reserved. DAILY will prob
ably not play here another year, even if we
have q club, for he is now on the open market,
and q man of his ability usually stands chance
of better salary than a tail-end club can afford
to offer.

The Theme OF Prayers and Sermons in
the ColOred Baptist Churches.

Yesterday was designated as a day of prayer
in the colored Baptist churches. Southern
outrages' was the theme of the petitions and
it was discussed by some of the ministers in
their sermons. Rev. W. B. johnson, the pastor
of the Second Baptist church, spoke Of the
evils threatening the peace and prosperity of
the nation and said that depriving the colored
people of their rights was a great national
wrong. II left undisturbed in the possession
OF his rights, said the speaker, the colored man
will do no harm, .'but if stirred he may,

and leave a shapeless mass Of confusion at our

those localities where there is no hope of build
ing up themselves leave and locate where they
can get property and educate their children for
the coming crisis. Get education and money
knowledge Is power; so is money" He said
that the colored people were here to stay and
were part OF the nation. There was nothing

theirs citizens. The negro, he said, was not
a dangerous social element, but was peaceful
aud law abiding. He formed organizations.
but they were for peaceful purposes. 1t may
be, added the speaker, that he will learn dan
Eerous lessons from the socialists and others as

the next twenty years will be different indi-
vidual from the negro of today. The patient,
humble negro will have gone and countless

will contend for them will have taken their
place.
REV. GEO. ". LEE ON RACE PREJUDICE

Geo. W. Lee, preached yesterday morning on
the subject for the day. He said in the course

ILLEGAL STREET EXCAVATIONS.
Inconsistency in Executing the Law For
bidding Opening the Streets In Winter.


The law forbidding the making Of excava-
tions in the streets, side walks and avenues of
the District for the period of time between the
LIST of November and the LIST Of March of each
year was practically dead-letter until Decem-
Der, 1856. when its existence called to the
attention Of the Commis toners by Capt T. W.
Symons, who was then in charge Of the water
and sewer divisions. This law has never been
strictly enforced and for the past two seasons has
been amended by the Commissioners to
take effect December instead of November l,
a the law itself requires. Heretofore when
applications have been made for permits TO
excavate in remote portions Of the city, or in
fact in any section where it was not necessary
10 open the carriageway the permits have al
ways been given and the law only enforced
when permission to excavate necessitated OPEN
Ing an impro.ed carriaSeway or principal
tAOrou8hfare of the city.
Capt. Lusk had his attention recently called
10 the fact that permits were issued from the
Office of the inspector of buildings during the
entire year for the erection of buildings and
the building Of vaults in sidewalks, and the
writer said he thought it was
great Inconsistency to issue a
permit to build and then refuse
permit to excavats outside the building line.
which is necessary in all instances, for the pur
pose OF connecting with the water ana sewer
systems. SO far as the issuing of permits to
build vaults under the sidewalks between No.
vember ! and March Of each year, the writer
says that he thinks the law in question is vio-
lated.
Capt. Lusk. in his report upon the subject
said that the attempt to comply with the pro-
visions of an old law concerning the opening of
streets gave rise to much confusion, and recon-
Inenled that the matter be laid before the
board with view to establishing some definite
regulations which should be binding alike upon
the office of the inspector of buildings and that
OF the water office.
In conclusion he said: THAT so long as per-
mits to build houses are granted without refer
euee to the season of the year when the con-
s;rUcti0n is to commence. just SO long as ex-
cavatiOns IN the streets for sewer. water and
gas connections are matters Of absolute neces-
sitv."
As soon as the Commissioners received the
papers LII the case they were submitted to the
attorney for an opinion on the question be-
tween the building regulations and the old law
In his Endorsement upon the papers, Attorney
Riddle saws: The building regulations

and repeal all former laws. acts and parts of
acts inconsistent with them or any of them"
The Commissioners will look into the matter at
board session, and If found necessary will issue
new regulations.
