THE PRESIDENTS PLANS.
What He Will Do During the Heated Terminus,
Harrson's Rheumatism.

harrison s hneumallS1n
WASHINGTON, July 17.-While the
President has not yet definitely deter
mined upon his plans for his summer, he
has i'll part mapped out his movements
during the hot weather 1t is probable
that he will leave Washington for Deer
Park on Saturday for more extended
visit than his previous one. He does not
expect to return to the city for about two
weeks, and will transact at Deer Park
any business requiring his immediate at
tention.
1t has not been settled whether or not
the official announcement of matters de-
cided upon by the President will be made
public from Washington or Deer Park
The probabilities, however, are that any
appointments which may be made while
the President is away will be given out
from the White House, while any mat
tiers which do not require authorization
by the clerks at the Executive Mansion
will be made known at Deer Park.
In this latter category can be included
pardons and respite to criminals. This
visit to Deer Park, and the President 8
contemplated stay at Bar Harbor as the
guest of Secretary Blaine, will constitute
the Presidents regular vacation. After
his return from Maine he will probably
again make the White House his home
and take short trips out of the city when
ever practicable, until the heated term is
over.
Secretary Window will spend his vaca-
| tion at Deer Park, where the President
and he can hold consultations if desirable
There will be no Cabinet meetings held
there, and if any heads of departments
require to bring matters to the President s
| attention, it can be done over the tele
| graph wires or by the party taking a
| train and making a short stay in the
mountains with the President. AS most
of the Cabinet officers will be out of town
| on their vacations during the next month,
there will, doubtless, be very little, if any
| occasion for consultation with the Chief
| Executive. There will be DO formal Cabi
| net meeting to morrow, but several Of
| the Secretaries will see the President in
| regard in the business before their de-
partments.
Private Secretary Halford will spend a
| few days of each week at Deer Park, and
will return to this city whenever circum.
| stances require.
Both the President and Mrs. Harrison
are having good general health, although
| the latter has been somewhat indisposeG
| from slight attack of rheumatism il
the lower arm. She returned with the
| President for the purpose, among Other
| things, of seeing her physician, DIR. Frank
A. Gardner. She is better this evening

Drawbaugh Interest.
Boston, July 15.-Daniel Drawbaugh,
the poor mechanic of Pennsylvania who
claims to be the original inventor of the
telephone, is to fight another legal battle
to test his rights. His claims to the
rights of this great discovery were ap

A LOST SECRET.
F. ). Seymour. Manager of the American
Aluminium Company, Dies Without Re
veaIing the Secret of Manufa cture.

FINDLAY, o., July 15.-The manager
of the American Aluminium Company,
Fred. j. Seymour, died in this city last
Friday, and the secret of making alumni
mum died with him, He was the inven-
tor of processes by which this valuable
metal could be profitably extracted from
common clay, and had put his inventions
into practical use. About four years ago,
as the result of years of experiments. F.
j. Seymour, then a citizen of Detroit,
secured patents covering processes for
the manufacture of aluminium. He had
little difficult in inducing capitol to take
hold of the enterprise, and the ALUMNI
mum Company was organized, with zen
eral Russell A. Alger as President and
Senator Palmer, of Michigan, as Vice
President. The discovery of natural gas
in this city caused the location of the lab
oratories here. Expensive retorts and
machinery were constructed, and the
manufacture was begun on large scale
and proved so successful that large guam
titles of the metal were placed upon the
market at large profit. The process,
although patented in nearly all of its
points, has been kept religious secret
and no one has ever been permitted to
penetrate the mysteries surrounding it.
A tifteen-foot picket fence surrounds the
bindings. with its gates doubly pad
locked. From remarks made by chem
lists and other employees at different
times is is gathered that the clay after
being ground in water and treated with
various chemicals, it is heated to 1900
degrees in large retorts until it has be-
come thoroughly fused. When it has
reached the browning temperature the
precious metal is separated from the mass
by the addition of a certain chemical in
specific quantities, but the name and ua-
ture Of this chemical is not disclosed in
the Letters patent, nor has any one EN-
plOyed about the works ever discovered
it. 1t Is the secret that has gone down
into the grave with F J. Seymour. 1t
had been his invariable custom to await
the critical moment when the fluid mass
had reached the right stage, and then all
the employees were excluded from the
room, the doors we're locked, and, all
alone, he went through the mysterious
process of the laboratory, adding chem
ical that NO one knows the name of, has
never seen, and in quantities that cannot
even be guessed at. His death came as
the result of paralytic stroke, from
which he never recovered consciousness,
SO that on his deathbed be had no oppor-
tunity of revealing the all-important SO
cret. The stockholders of the company
are undetermined what to do under the
the peculiar circumstances in which they
placed, but will probably give some of
their chemists full scope to endeavor to
recover the lost secret.

The Democratic editors on the Eas.
tern Shore are bothering their heads
considerably this warm weather trying
to determine what Democratic politi-
clan is to represent the State in the
United States Senate as the successor
of Senator E. X. Wilson. 1t would be
wise if they would pay more attention
to securing tor their party a majority Of
the members of the Legislature. Per-
haps, they take this for granted. The
people of the State, however, may up
set their calculations by electing a Re-
publican Legislature. There are many
indications pointing to this result.

Eastern Shore, and never had a chill
there. From there l went to Cumber-

Fight for Legislature in New York.

New YORK. July 15.-The big political
fight this fall will be for the control of
the Legislature. With a Democratic
Governor and Republican Legislature
there has been a dead lock in this State
ever since Governor Hill assumed office.
The result is that it has been impossible
to reconcile the differences between the
Governor and the Legislature in regard
to the taking of a census, to high licensr,
to ballot reform and number of other
important questions. The Governor b,
his veto, freely exercised, has prevented
Republican bills relative to those matters
from becoming laws, and the Republican
Senate has exercised as absolute veto
over the Governors appointments. This
year, therefore. the Republicans will en-
deavor to increase their majority in each
branch of the Legislature to two-rhirds,
so as to be able to override the Cover
uor's vetOes. The Governor on the other
hand, has hopes of electing a Democratic
majority. in which case he would be bile
to dispose of the Excise and Ballot Re
form questions in accordance with his
own views, and secure a reappOrtionment
OF the State that would make the election
of another Republican Legislature very
ate to be elected this year will hold over
so as to take part in the election of a
United States Senator in 1891. The Gov
ernor has, indeed, loftier position than
a seat in the United States Senate but
he will not be Indifferent to the prize if
not for himself, than for party friend
On the Repu blican side. Senator Evarts
would undoubtedly be glad of a re-elec.
ton Warner Miller may seek in this
direction to return to public life, and it
is more probable that Thomas G. Platt
has set his ambition on this seat in the
Senate. Since his resignation, with r rs
coe ConklinP and defeat for re election.
in 1881, Mr.. Platt has been out of office,
though during the past five years he has
been able to regain the political power he
lost with the overthrow of the Stalwart
faction. That he is now not Indifferent
to a return to office was made clear by
his desire to enter the Presidents Cabi-
net.

SECRETARY BLAINE.
The President Bmphatically COntradicts the Besig-
nation Story.


DEER PARK, Md, July lj.-The Presi
dent, when shown the published rumol
that Secretary Blaine had resigned, the
resignation to take effect some time next
fall, promptly declared that there was
not an atom of truth in the story. and
added that he expected to have Mr.,
Blane's advice ard counsel in the Cabi
net for long time to come.
He said that he expected to visit the
Secretary at B " Harbor be ore the end OF
the season, and looked forward to he so
journ there with much pleasure. At tn,
State Department to-day cIrcumstan-
tial denial was given to the revival OF the
story of Baine's failing health and his
equally failing resignation. They say
that his health has been remarkably
good, and that there is no apparent de
cline in it now, His vigor of mind and
body is shown by the immense amount
of work he does, both at his office and a,
his private apartments.
Mr.. Blaine Himself Denies II.
BAR HARBoR, Me-, July 15.-Secretarl
Blaine himself emphstically denies tn,
statement of his resignation published il

seems very much surprised at the reDprt
MIR. Blaine is looking quite well, anc
though no doubt some what Jagged by tn,

Capital, does not show the wear in any
unusual degree. The report that his re
signation was due to failing he nth is
therefore, strongly negatived by the Sec
retary's appearance, which has great,
