Blaine Will Not Go.

AKRON, Ohio, Sept. 25.-Col. A. l..
Conger, member Of the republican CEN
trail committee from Ohio, recently wrote
to Blaine to see if he could take part in
the Ohio canvas this fall.
Col. Conger today received this reply:
STANwooD, BAR HARBoR, Sept. o.
l.. A. Conger, Akron, Ohio.-My Dear
Sir: Your favor received. l cannot
take part in the Ohio campaign this year
for many reasons which l need not give,
but l hope no effort will be spared to
elect Mckinley. His victory at this time
is very important to the country and
party. He and Mr.. Campbell represent
honest differences between two parties
at this time. There is no lodging and
no evasion and the voter need not be de-
ceived. The election of Mckinley means
the policy of protection and honest
money. The election of Campbell means
free trade and corruption Of the cur
rency. / believe Ohio will stand by Nc
Kinley. Very Sincerely You're,
JAMES q. BLAINE.

who had been unconscious since early
this morning. died at $3.50 o'clock this
afternoon.
He attended the First Presbyterian
church last Sunday and was taken i'll in
the evening but was not considered to be
in a serious condition until Tuesnay.
His illness developed into peritonitis and
last night he reached a critical stage.
DIR. Burchard came prOmently before the
public in 1854 when a reception to Blaine
then a republican candidate for presi-
dent was rendered at the Fifth
avenue hotel in New York
by several hundred ministers of various
denominations. DR.. Burchard was then
spokesman. AS he neared the close of
an address Of atfectionate regard and es-
TEEN for Blaine he used practically these
words: sand we admire and we welcome
you, Mr.. Blaine, as a steadfast opponent
OF rum, Romanism, and rebellion" Years
later DR.. Burchard while speaking of the
incident with an Associated Press repre-
sentative who stood near him on the day
it occurred said: swell, l don't know
but that l may have been a humble in
strument in the hands of a divine power
to effect exactly the contrary of what l
had in my heart to do when / spoke that
day."

PENSACOLA, Fla, Sept. 26.-Thc Daily
News will publish tomorrow morning "a
special from Tallahassee giving the COM
plication in the senatorial situation.
Secretary of State Crawford refused to
attest the commission of ex-Congress-
man Davidson, appointed by Gov. Elem
ing to succeed Senator Call. Crawford
is an old line wing and says the great
seal of the state of which he is custodian
shall never adorn any certificate for Calls
successor without it is Call himself. The
Florida supreme court will convene on
the 18th proy. and the governor will APP
ply for a mandamus to compel compli-
nee with the constitutional require
ment providing that the secretary of
state shall attest all commissions issued
by the executive. Many people in Tai
lahassee believe that Senator Crawford
will go to Jail rather than obey the man
damus if issued by the supreme court,
and anti-Call men seem confident of
forcing the secretary to attest David
sou appointment.

not yet resulted fatally, although Os-

will be taken to the Fort Benton hos

The two had quarreled during the day
and yesterday evening Osborne was in
the saloon when Spencer entered, and,
telling him he must die, shot toward his
feet. lie then raised the revolver and
fired at his head, the ball passing
through the skull. Several persons were
present but Spencer escaped to the barn,
where his horse was ready, and was
probably out Of the country before day
light. Every effort is being made to
capture him.

A COLD-BLOODED SHOOTING
Was the Chinook ~Affair-Slight Hopes
Entertained for "Sleepy Jim's" Re-
cOyery.

Especial Correspondence to the TRIBUNE.l
CHINOOK, Sept. 2G.-lour representa-
tive here has talked with a gentleman
who was an eye witness of the shooting
affray Thursday night.
He says: 81 had just stepped out of
Graham's saloon, the place where the
murder occurred, and was standing on
the porch when Spencer brushed by me.
l went back in just in time to see a gun
flash in Spencer's hands. He said, I've
had enough of your fooling and you
must die He then shot at Sleepy Jim's
legssand an instant after at his head. l
heard no other conversation. The bull
let struck on the right side of the head
near and above the ear and came through
at the top. He fell like a log and the
brains gushed from his head. The
moments the wounded man lay weltering
in a pool of his own gore. The murderer
turned and still waving his revolver ran
from the saloon. He was gone before
pursuit had been thought Of"
IllC Two hdu q lShl tlut uil ditcI-
noo in the corral and Spencer hit
Sleepy Jim Tor Osborne) with a hammer.
No one seems to know the cause of the
quarrel. The murder, however, was
plainly premeditated. Spencer had set
tied up all bills preparatory to leaving.
Just half an hour before the murder his
horse stood unsaddled in the barn.
When he ran to the stable Immediately
after the murder his horse was already
saddled and waiting. Pursuit was at
tempted but the darkness of the night
rendered all efforts futile. He was
doubtless across the line in less han
three hours and probably will be seen
no more.
Who he was or is remains a mystery.
He is a new man and came with the big
round up o in progress. SLEEPY Jim"
or Jim Osborne is a well known charac-
ter. He has been a familiar figure about
Benton for some years and has the repu-
tation of being a good natured and care
less sort Of a fellow. He goes unarmed
and was without a weapon at the time
of the murder, which occurred at a faro
table. His removal to Benton takes
place today and there are some slight
hopes entertained for his recovery, al
though in his condition it seems scarce
ly possible.

extraordinary session on Tuesday, Oct.
ID, 1891.
The preamble sets forth that grave
charges have been made against the
auditor general and state treasurer, most
seriously rejecting upon the discharge
Of their official duties; that it is proper
that diligent inquiry should be made to
ascertain whether a reasonable cause ex-
lists for their removal; that there is a
conviction in the public mind that they
have been grossly inefficient and entirely
wanting in true fidelity; that il the charges
be established the senate should take
action looking to the removal of these
officials. 1t is also set forth that much
state money lost through Bardsley
would be in the treasury if the auditor
general and state treasurer had per-
formed their duties with fidelity, and
further that Bardsley's refusal to dis
close any information whatever as to the
conduct of these Officials has compelled
an abandonment of the proposed crimi-
nal prosecutions at least for a time.
Proper inquiry by the senate the gov
ernor thinks may develop evidence sufii-
Gent to satisfy its members that a
reasonable cause exists for the removal
OF the auditor general and state treas
urer.

Dun's Weekly Review.

New YORK, Sept. Or. G. Dun d
Co.'S weekly review of trade says: None
of the disturbances threaten to effect
the general prosperity which enormous
crops now promise and the failure Of a
house of extraordinary repute and
strength to sustain the price of corn is at
once proof of the general prosperity and
a warning hat who eve gets on the
wrong side when this country is growing
is liable to be hurt. Reports from other
cities indicate a continuance Of the
general improvement in trade already
noticed.
At Philadelphia the iron market i'm
proves and the demand for tin plates is
especially increased. At Cleveland a
good trade is seen in the dry goods, hard
ware and groceries though clothing and
boots and shoes are dull. AT Detroit trade
improves with good manufacturing de-
mand for iron and funds are going into
the country for wheat. At Cincinnati
trade is fairly active with the whiskcy
business in good condition. At Chicago
the week was one of the largest on record
in cattle receipts which were over $1,000
head, and while some increase appears
in flour, oats and corn, dressed beef,
hides and wool, the receipts of wheat
and rye were nine times last years
though in barley, cured meats, lard,
cheese and butter there was some de-
crease. The sales of dry goods, clothing
and sheep exceed last years and while
collections are not quite satisfactory
there is some improvement. At Mil
waukee the hot weather which secures
corn and tobacco rctards trade in wool
ems but the general business is good. At
Minneapolis trade is especially brisk in
flour, the output being 10000 barrels,
against 10000 last year, and wheat re-
ceipts 100000. against 1000, while lum-
Der is strong and higher prices contem-
plated. At st. Paul trade is very active
and confidence strong. AT Kansas City
trade steadily improves. At Louisville
great improvement is noted, with con-
tidence fully restored. Reports as to
the money market are generally favor
able. The great industries are doing
well. There is a distinctly better de-
mand for iron without advance in prices.
More inquiry is seen for rails, 10000 tons
being sold here. There is a stronger de-
mand for bar and moderate activity in
plate and structural mills are fairly en-
Copper is stronger on large con-
sumption. The distribution of tin is
larger and stronger.

by the rushing in of 1000 people with
countless horses to water; that all is

THE JEWS IN RUSSIA.
An Anonymous Writer Gives Some Mat
tiers of Interest Concerning Them.

tiers of Interest Concerning Them.
LONDON, Sept. GA letter which
first appeared in the Anti-Jacobin and
which was signed "Israelite Wanderer,'
has been republished IN the afternoon
newspapers and is attracting consider.
able attention. 1t strongly defends Rus.
STA and declares the laws relating to the
Jews are by no means SO iniquitable as
imagined. Referring to domiciles this
letter says: 1T has never been altered
but that it has been operated with SC
little rigor that one-third of the Jews
reside today in the governments, from
which they were excluded a generation
ago. This, he says. is a sign of gradual
improvement which is the best to be eX-
pected from a semi-civilized country like
Russia.
Continuing, the writer of the letter
mentioned says that 10000 Jews reside
number reside in Moscow. "Expul-
%sions,' he adds, 'are entirely due to
Jewish violations of law. Ever since
ltubSld ODtucu ncE Clllt6 " CtWlSn lTdu-
ers they have been recognized by guilds
of professional men and mechanics. 1t
has been the aim of Hebrews who are
excluded from that privilege to obtain a
settlement in the central provinces.
Guild Of Mechanics certificates haye
been forged, fraudulent police permits
have been printed, and regular trade in
them has been prosecuted for years. Ger
tificates have also been used long after
the original grantee was dead, and thus
thousands Of Jews without means or
trade have settled in Russia, where
they had no more right to be than a
pauper emigrant has to land in New
York. Numbers of mechanics also have
forsaken their regular occupation and
have taken to peddling, thus violating
the conditions under which they were
allowed to settle. Others left the town
where they ought to have remained. Be-
tween 10000 and 100000 Jews o re-
side in Russia in open violation Of law,
owing to fraudulent permits or by brib-
ing officials. Being undisturbed they have
become more confident and have
invested money in houses, which
is against the law, and then when
orders are received to enforce the law
the outside world hears of wholesale ex-
pulsion often accompanied by brutality
but every Jew s expelled courted his
own fate. They all know what they are
doing when they pass the pale Of their
domicile. The poor Jews suffer most
from the rigor of the law, being as ped
dlers, porters and such like at the mercy
of every petty official by whom they are
bounded from pillar to post.
If Baron Hersch's scheme includes
these poor Jews it takes up the most un-
promising material it Is possible to deal
with. They have neither physique for
held work nor resource of any kind.
They and their families must be sup
ported from the moment they leave Rus
STA until an indefinite date when they
can maintain themselves unaided. The
government will not allow the capable,
steady, better class, who are all military
reservists, to leave the country"
