An Alleged Secret Trip of Mr.. Blaine
Through Canada-A Dizzy Story.

LONDON, February 1.-THE Chronicic
this morning declares that the American
Government desires commercial and. ul-
timatcly. political union with Canada.
On the authority Of gentleman who Is
personal friend Of Mr.. Blaine, and
who was a friend Of General Garfield,

curing the latter's nomination for tho
Presidency, the Chronicle states that
during the ,GarfeldIIancock contest in
1850 Mr.. Blaine quietly made tour OF
Quebec and the Provinces, sounding
representative men on the question OF
commercial and ultimately political
union with America, and that Mr..
Blaine, satisfied with the results OF the
tour, entered President Gariield's Cabi-
net on the distinct understanding that
this question would be pushed. 1t was
only President Gariield's death. says
the Chronicle. that prevented the deyel-
opment Of the policy which Mr.. Blaine
is now pursuing under President llar-
rison, Mr.. Blaine having in each case
the cordial approval of the President.

WASHINGTON, u. c.. February H.
General Goir who has been here for some
days has been frequent visitor to the
White House, and has consulted a good
deal with the Republican leaders in the
House and Senate. He is inter
eSting himself in number OF
matters, among them apparently
the McGinnis-Alderson contested elec-
tion case and the Secretaryship OF the
Treasury.
General GofT was at the White House
yesterday, and afterwards was asked by
gentleman who met him, VINO was
going to be Secretary of the Treasury.
General Golf replied: IL can tell you
this much. The new Secretary will be
an Ohio man.
He was then asked If Foster
was to be the lucky individual,
but declined to be more specific.
He contented himself with repeating
that il woud be an Ohio man. The
Republicans did not carry out their al
legged plan Of calling mp the Florida
contested election case In the House to-
day. aid it is more than likely they will
not make any move in that direction
for some days TO come.

Another Reciprocity Proclamation Ready.

NEW YORK, February ia Wash
ington special TO the Times says: II
is understood that the President has
ready for announcement proclamation
of reciprocity with Venezuela, similar
in terms to the agreement just reached
with Brazil. This agreement has been
reached by the exercise of the powers
conferred by the legislation OF the last
session Of Congress. and will take effect
according to report about the same Time
as the agreement with Brazil. The iig-
ures prepared for the State Department
have been under consideration for some
time. and estimates have been made
a. carefully as the imperfect fig
ures procurablc concerning the
Venezuelan trade would permit a.
to the benefits to be obtained by both
countries. While the commerce Of
Venezula is not so large as that Of Bra
zil. the United States have for several
years enjoyed much larger proportion
Of the importing business than any
other nation dealing with Venezniea.
The proclamation OF the President
would have been made day or two ago.
As il was expected the agreement OF
Venezuela TO the propositions Of the
/ nited States would be received by the
last steamer. The papers are on the
wav. however. and will arrive by the
steamer due in New York on February
| i. or Whereabouts.

4 Stormy NnNngc.

New York, February 1.-The
steamer La GaScogne, from Hayre, ar
rived here early this morning. Her
captain states that it was the worst trip
he ever experienced.
From the time the steamer left Havre
she was knocked about by storms. some
of them amounting to hurricane in
violence. In mid-ocean the steamship
had to lay to forty hours, ii being i'm
possible for her to make headway
against the high seas and westerly gale.
Her decks were swept by the seas from
stem TO stern, and everything in the
shape of loose spars. ropes and gratings
carried away.
Part of the time the big steamship
pitched aud rolled so badly that the pas
sengerS were compelled to keep in thelT
berths. The Steerage passengers were
the worst sufferers, many OF them re-
cciving bruises by being thrown against
the partitions.
