Dental Nomination.
A COMBINATION OF STATESMEN
Takes Hold--westcru Republican
Senators in Favor OF tho Man From
Maine--His Great Popularity De-
mands That He Shall be the Nom
inee Of tho Party.

wAsnMeToS, D. G., June 2S.-In po-
liticai circles here it is well understood
that powerful combination has taken
hold OF the Blaine boom, and determ-
ined that If he is in reasonable physical
condition to press him for the nomina-
tion in 1892. Prominent in this combi-
nation are half a dozen or more of in
fuential western Republican sena-
tors, who have always been very
friendly to Mr.. Blaine, and who are
decidedly hostile to President Harri-
son. Its undeninble tbat, personally,
Blaine is the most popular man in the
Republican party, and there isno doubt
II his name goes before the convention
neither Harrison nor any other man
would be thought Of. Had Blaine not
peremptorily withdrawn his name In
1888 Harrison would not have had n
ghost OF chance for the nomination,
and with Blaine opposing him in 1892
he would be swept out OF sight. The
men who are working up Blaine's can
didaCy now are making a great point
of the plea that no one else
but Blaine can be elected by
the Republican party; that he is the
only one who can successfully meet the
various side issues which win constant
ly spring up between now and the Pres
idential election. Blaine has always
had wonderfully strong hold in the
Northwest, and the Western Senators
who are interested In his fortunes say
he is the only man who can be depend
ed upon to hold that section in its al
legiance to the Republican party tits
said these Senators and those who are
acting with them have all their plans
formed to take full possession OF the
Senate organization in December, and
run everything on n Blaine basis.

a,y Francisco, June 23.-The North

,iot,. saws it had been reported for sew

,srmined to loot and burn the property
ii the Jesuits at Wuhu, owing to the
MINOR that number of Chinese child

others. On the afternoon OF Tuesday,
Nav 70, a mob Of Chinese gathered
about the premises OF the priests and
broke through the walls, eventually
citing fire to the cathedral and other
buildings, after driving the missionaries
o1, and pillaging the place, A mob
tbeu proceeded to the English consulate
and destroyed considerable property by
throwing stones.
The arrival Of Taoti, a local magis-
tate and tho GOODNESS of the British
consul alone saved the building from
being SET on fire.
4 number OF foreigners, headed by
the consul, armed themselves and
pa.scd the night at the custom house,
and assisted by Taoti, repelled the
mob, which twice during the night
made an attempt to loot and set fire to
the custom house and residence Of the
foreign officials.
A French man-of.war was sent for

Ionoucrs: informed the Governor OF
Syan-King that II the rioters did not
obey the mandate OF the magistrate he
would not hesitate to use strong meas

Onler would be maintained. On May
lgthc German gunboat Ilitia arrived
and Captain Aschy lent his influence to
secure protection for the missionaries.
Placards, however, had been posted by
rioters announcing that the mission
buildings would be destroyed on Friday,
Nay %. Placards also had been posted
in the French quarter OF Shanghai
threatening the foreigners.
Some Of the Gaelics passengers to-day
brought the information that the
natives Of Canton had again broken
out against the missionaries in the
burned mission and put them all to
death. Four OF the murderers were put

dor are becoming numerous. Ifransom

CINCINNATI, O., June 2s.-The receipts
of water melons from the South
to the Cincinnati market at this
season are unusually heavy and involve
large amount OF money. This is very
valuable feature OF Cincinnati CONNER
cial trade and one which requires great
promptness and attention upon the
part OF all parties concerned. The local
wholesale fruit merchants are taken
wholly by surprise by new regulations
instituted by the railways leadingnorth,
east and west from this city, whereby
shipments Of melons in less than cur.
loads arc required to be packed before
they will be received for transportation.
Heretofore they have been carried in
bulk, and to any one familiar with the
practical workings OF this trade it must
appear that the new regulations will
practically destroy the trade. A rous-
ing petition from the local merchants
has been presented to the Cincinnati
freight association demonstrating
against this embargo on the melon
industry.

It was a surprise to me, when several
weeks later, during the Canadian can-
vass, Sir John Macdonald and Sir
Charles Upper both stated before pub
lie assemblages that an informal dis
cussion of a reciprocity treaty would
take place at Washington after the
fourth OF March by invitation OF the
Secretary Of State. I detail these facts
because I deem it important, since the
matter has for some weeks been open
to public remark that the conference
was not initiated by me, but on
the contrary that the private ar-
rangement Of which L speak was a
modification OF your proposal, and IN
no sense an original suggestion from
the Government oi-the United States.
With this explanation it only remains
for me to say that the gentleman repre-
senting the Dominion Of Canada and
proposing to discuss the commercial re-
iations OF the two countries may be as
