MINISTER BLAIR.

No Truth in the Report that the Chi
neSe Government Objects to Him.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-A rumor is
current to the effect that upon informa-
ton cabled by the Chinese Minister here
the Chinese Government has entered an
objection to Senator Blair, as Minister to
to that country.
The Chinese Minister being in Peru,
Mr.. Yo, one of the attaches of the Lega-
ton, to-day said there was ABSOLUTELY no
truth in the report, and added: "a ca
blegram was. of course, sent, but it was
mere announcement, and no word has
been received from the Chinese Govern
ment in answer to the message. ANY
action hostile to the appointment would
be taken, presumably, ,on information sent
from here, and nothing against Mr. Blair
has been sent, or is likely to be sent. We
have, of course, made investigations but
all we have found out is favorable to the
appointment rather than against it, |
have been in this country long enough to
know what 4 fake is, even If | do not use
the word myself, and / should call the
whole story about Mr.. Blair fake.''
Secretary Blaine said that so far as he
knew there was nothing whatever in the
story.
BLAIR's ANTI-CHINEsE RECORD.
NEW YORK, March "a Tribune
Washington special says: The only point
made against Senator Blair as Minister to
China that has any real weight is his atti-
tude npon the Chinese question. He has
opposed in the Senate the admission of
Chinese to this country, and in one of his
reports he has used rather strong language
in describing the character of the Chinese
quarter in san Francisco. The position
assumed by him in his speeches and re-
ports is supposed to be greatly to his dis
advantage as the future Minister to China.
1t should be remembered, however, that
the Chinese Government is as strongly
opposed to Chinese coming to this coun-
try as any people here could be to their
being received at that point, therefore it
viii not be sufficient to make Blair's re-
lations with the Chinese authorities dis

of the Belfast branch of the National

ELECTRIC LIGHT WAR.
Suit Growing Out of Rivalry Between
Companies at San Jose.

at Sstn jose.
SAN JOSE, March 3.-In the injunction
suit of the San Jose Light and Power
Company against the San Jose Electric
Improvement Company, growing out of
the rivalry between the electric light
companies, the defendant has filed an
answer making specific denial of the
allegations of the complaint, which was
filed Saturday evening, and praying for
the dissolution of the temporary injunc-
ton. The case attracts the greatest inter-
est. The Electric Improvement Com
pany secured the street-lighting contract
some months since, and Saturday night
attempted to light San Jose's famous
tower. The Secretary of the other COM
pany, backed by five employees, climbed
the tower, and, drawing a six-shooter,
threatened the employees of the other
company while his men cut their wires.
They then lowered all the lamps and
everything belonging to the improve
mcnt company. The latter set man to
work and about II o'clock had repaired
the damage and a flood of light was
shining from the tower.

There is defect in the claim, which, in

fact that it is made by citizens of a foreign
country without the knowledge and con-
sent of that country. 1t is said at the De-
