BLAINE AND THE NOMINATION.

lion 81 tne 1AWtu0 StoScemhns
wAsHrSeroS, April 29-The news
that Elkins tells about Secretary
Blaine's intentions does not receive full
faith and credit in Washington. It may
be that before the next republican ma
tional convention meets the Sec
rotary will pronounce against his
own candidacy, and In q way that
will forbid his friends supporting
him But there is no hurry TO antici-
pate the action of the convention, and
Mr.. Elkins' authority for declaring that
Secretary Blaine will shortly announce
his decision may we'll be questioned.
The Critic quotes ''close friend" Of
the secretary as follows:
II an not certain that Mr.. Blaine has au.
thorized Mr. Elkins TO speak for him. but am
sure that he does not intend 10 allow his name
TO 60 before the next republican national con
vertion. Tho fact II IL Is not altogether i'm
probable In view OF the Foraker incident AZ
Cincinnati, that Mr.. Blaine may feel It incum-
bent OF himself 10 announce under his own sig
nature fact that has been known to his init
mate friends for . long time-that II. that he
Is not IN any sense . candidate for the nom
inasion."

ex-Congressmen Bayne, of Pittsburgh.

tary Of state. who had charge OF his
campaign in the last three national
conventions, have within the last
month told their friends in private con-

ton but that ne would. IL this agitation

New YORK. April %. An astonishing
defalcation that viii reach 5000, 900 WA

tional bank At No. +o7 Broadway. The
defaleat.on is charged 70 John T. HILL
the president of the bank, who died
March /. He WAS . trusted oflicial, re-
spected in all the financial world of
New York. Ii has been learned that
President Hill used his official position
To take money from the bank TO carry
on speculations in Wall street and that
of the $500. 600 missing from the bank
nearly every dollar WAS lost Ia IN
fortunate ventures in tho stock and
grain market
President Hill had SO carefully COW
cred up his tracks when taking funds
of the institution thst only his death
would have revealed the facts. He was
the executor, with other New Bruns-
wick IN. ]. business men. in several
large estates. Whenever a regular Gus
toner of the bank borrowed money on
collateral securities Hill would wait
until the loan fell due. Then when
Il was paid by a check, which would
cover both the money loaned and tpe
interest for the use of il, lac would
pocket the checks given in payment
and replace the collateral seouri-
ties, which he had returned to
the customer. with securities taken
from the estates in New Bruins
wick of which he was executor. ThNs
there would be no change on the
books of the bnnk and the scheme
could be carried on indie finitely. After
Hills death his fellow executors for the
New Brunswick estates began an IN
vestigation to find the missing sccuri-
ties which he had in charge, and they
soon learned that they were In the Ninth
national bank, held as securities for
loans They demanded the securities,
and then the story of tho defalcation
was soon learned. While the loss is
serious it does not impair the banks
solvency, nor its ability TO take care OF
its customers Its assets aside from
the loss mentioned are of good char.
acter Its discounts are exceptionally
good.
