BLAINE'S BATTLE ROYAL.
HARRISON KEPT AT ARMS LENGTH
BY THE Willy SECRETARY.

No Word About the Presidency Ex-
changed Yet by the Two Rivals
Blaine Given an Advantage by His
Assumption That His Position as
Leader of the Party Makes 1t Un-
necessary for Him to Declare Him
self
WASHINGTON, Oct. 81. - With the
recognition, which after his appearance
at the cabinet meeting to-day be-
came general, of the fact that Mr.. Blaine
is once more Secretary of State comes the
general question as to his relation with the
President in view of their common aspira-
tions to the presidency. 1t can be stated
on the highest authority not only that there
is no understanding between them. but
that they have not up to this evening ex-
changed word about the presidency. The
one subject which both are thinking Of
most of all. and which everybody else in
Washington is discussing. has not been men,
toned by either to the other.
BLAINE's ATTITUDE.
Secretary Blaine has no intention of
mentioning it. He regards himself as the

TO seek nomination as a candidate and as
not obliged to declare his intentions now
respecting the nomination, il it shall be
rendered to him, although his friends are
not left to doubt that he would accept
President Harrison on the other hand wants
to make Mr.. Blaine show his hand. II Mr..
Blaine should say 81 am candidate" then
President Harrison would say: "Then
leave my cabinetn II Mr.. Blaine should
say 81 am not candidate then President
Harrison would say: "Then help ME to get a
renomination.h
FENCING FOR POSITION.
For the time being the two men stand
facing one another in silence, fencing for
position. President Harrison is being
urged by his friends to have a settlement
with Mr. Blaine at once, but is inclined to
wait, and probably will wait until after
the election. Meanwhile, the battle be-
tween the friends of President Harrison
and the friends Of Secretary Blaine is
already op. Each side, Just now, is trying
to esta blish the priority of its adhesion to
the reciprocity policy. An article pub
lished in the FoSt to-day claiming
the credit for Secretary Blaine is
thought by President Harrison's friends to
bear obvious marks of having been directly
inspired by Secretary Blaine containing, as
it does, old newspaper clippings which no
one else could have produced so quickly in
reply to Harrison article published on
Monday.

Twenty-one Thousand Horses Paid for
and SOFA Claims Pending.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-Third Auditor
Hart in his annual report says: "The be-
ginning of the end OF the horse claim in
dustry is very happily within vision. The
presentation of claims was barred after
Aug. 13, 1891 OF the class OF
losses considered by this division
there have besn since the war about
q, 900 horses paid for. OF 5,U14 claims on
hand nearly one-half have been awaiting
calls for additional evidence, or, in cases
growing out Of the Mexican war. for proof
Of loyalty. In some of the claims the post
Office addresses of the claimants have been
lost. No court would permit its docket to
be weighed down with dead causes, and SO
the practice will be adopted hereafter in the
settlement of horse claims Of rejecting
without prejudice all cases where no atten-
tion has been given for five years. This
policy will very much facilitate the dispo-
sition of the present accumulation during
the coming year."

war baltimore, now in that harbor, the com
mander of that vessel, Capt. w. S. Schley was
directed to cause an immediate and
thorough inquiry to be made into the origin
and incidents of that tragic affair aud to
communicate the results simultaneously TO this
government and to you. His report under date
OF yesterday has just been transmitted to this
department by the Secretary OF the Navy,
VINO advises me that copy Of the report was
forwarded by Capt. Schey TO you You will
observe that the board of officers Sc
lected by Capt. Schley to investigate this
AFFAIR report that our sailors were unarmed aud
gave no provocation; that the assaults upon
them were by armed men. greatly superior in
numbers, and, as we must conclude, animated
IN their bloody work by hostility to these men
as sailors of the United States. You win also
notice that the character of some of the
wounds indicate that the public police, or some
or them, took part In the attack and you will
also observe that other American seilors we're
without any apparent fault arrested and for
some time held by the authorities.

TO the United States, took place on Oct 10
and yet no expression of regret, or OF purpose
to make a searching inquiry with view to the
institution of proper proceedings for the pun
ishment of the guilty parties has been, so far as
am advised, offered to this government You
will at once bring to the attention of the
government of Chile the facts as
reported, to you by Capt Schley,
and will inquire whether there are any
qualifying facts 10 the possession Of that gov
ernment, or any explanation to be offered OF
the event that has very deeply panied the peo.
pie of the United States, not only by reason of
the resulting death of one Of our sailors
and the pitless woundin2 Of others
but even more as an apparent expression of
unfriendliness toward this government which
might put in peril the maintenance of AMIGA
Bile relations b.tween the two countries. If
the facts are as reported by Capt. Schley this
government caunot doubt that the govern
ment of Chile will offer prompt and full repara-
tion. You will furnish the foreign Office full
paraphrase of this dispatch and report prompt
ly to this government. WHARTON.

The Organization of Relief Society
Prohibited.
LONDON, Oct. 27.-The Daily Ne,os
learns that the Russian government has re-
jected the petition of a deputation of tho
richest Moscow merchants for permission to
form society for the relief of the victims
Of the famine-strickep districts. The so
ciety was backed by an immense amount
of capital and "a host of volunteers. The
minister OF the interior, in declining the
proposition, declared that anybody at
tempting to visit the district
where famine prevails for any
such purpose as that described
would be arrested. The emigration society
has prohibited the organization of relief
committees at certain points. This is sup
posed to be due to fear that reliance upon
the government relief will have bad moral
effect on the peasants, who will decline to
work on the relief railways and roads while
the ready cash of the famine fund is pro-
curable
