HARRISON MAY WITHDRAW
FROM THE RACE FOR THE PRESI-
DENTAL NOMINATION

Ii Blaine Is Endorsed in the Pennsylvania
State Convention-An Eyes Now Turned
on the Keystone State-MugwumpsG Get
ting in Line.
lFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S-Al1 eyes are
turned from Washington to Harrisburg
with curiosity to know what action will be
taken in regard to Blaine. 1t is generally
admitted that if the convention formally in
dorses Blaine for the Presidential nomina-
tion next year it will but clinch the now
almost universal opinion that a fight is TO
be made against Harrison all along the line,
and If this be the case it is also the almost
universal opinion that Harrison will an
nounce that he is not candidate for re-
nomination.
The popularity of Blaine is surprising even
TO his friends. All of the old time bitter fac
t1onal enmity seems to have passed away A
gentleman who was among the most earnest
and conscientious opponents of Blaine in
1854, who scratched his name from the ticket
at d nnat time and mas been popularity consid-
cred mugwump of the bluest kind, said to-
day that he would vote for Blaine if nomi-
mated; that he had shown himself to be q
very much safer and ADLER man than his
former opponents had thought; that he was
now the greatest leader in the Republican
party, and the only one who could be elected.
He said that he didn't alone hold this opin-
ion, but that it was held by many who mad
formerly opposed Blaine.
They believed that they were right in
their opposition in the past, but that what
ever faults Blaine had he would now stand
better chance of election and could be de-
pended upon to give his party u safe strong
and respectable administration. He de-
clared that it was because of this feeling
and not on account of spirit of discord
that men formerly opposed to Blaine now
looked favorably upon him as n candidate.
A number of Pennsylvanians in Office here
went to Harrisburg to-day, among them
Hon. S. V, Holiday, Commissioner of Gus
toms; Comptroller Gilkeson, j. 1. Rankin
Deputy Sixth Auditor. and W. NJ Henry,
Chief of the Division of Indian Accounts.

LOCAL BALL CLUB GOSSIP.
Some New Players Expected to Take Part
in To-Day's Game.

To-day's game at Exposition Park will be
the last this season in which the Chicago
team will take part here and If the weather
is fine in all probability it will be another
hard fought one. Anson is more confident
than ever that his team will win the pen
nant
The management of the local team expect
that Frank Ward and Lallv will be here in
time to play in the game. Lally is a right
fielder and comes highly recommended. If
he plays he will likely be in Carroll's place
Ward, if he arrives in time, will be at third
base and Reilly will probably be In the out
field. At least that was the arrangement
decided upon yesterday. Altogether if the
new men get here there will be some inter
esttng features in the game.
The local management have also been in
communication with Dick johnson and
Arthur Whitney. They were asked to for
ward their terms and one or both of them
are expected here 1t is understood that if
u suitable outfielder is secured Carroll will
be the first to be released and it will be no
surprise if there is an entirely new outfield
during the next few days.
A special from st, Louis says: Third Base
man Whitney is in n quandary about where
be Will go. He has offers from New York,
Pittsburg and olumbus aud has sent his
terms to Pittsburg. He wants to stay in the
Association. 1t is thought he will finally
close with Columbus, as Pittsburg is not
likely TO accept his terms

TROTTERS AT SPRINGFIELD.
The Grand. Circuit Meeting Commences
Well at Hampden Park-The Favorites
All Manage to Win First PIace-Results
of the Eastern and Western Running

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM to THE DISPATCH!
SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Aug. 1s.-At last favor
ties had field day in the Grand Circuit, as
the three races at the opening of the Hamp-
den Park all went to the horses that carried
the bulk of money. 1t took IL heats to clear
the card, and the dull sky shut out the day
light so early that it was almost too dark to
distinguish the gait of the horses when the
last heat was trotted. 1t was trying day to
man and beast, the murky sky making it
very uncomfortable, and the rain which fell
early threatened to interfere seriously with
the progress of the sport. 1t held off after
few minutes, but the track was
soft and dead. that fast time
was out of the question. Start
ing Judge Drew got the fieldsaway promptly
after the 2:24 trotters had given him n good
deal of trouble in the opening heat. n. L. II.
sold favorite for this, but was unreliable for
two heats while Dusty Miller tripped away
in the lead each time and seemed good for
first money. Her chances were hindered by
the start in the third heat where she was far
enough back to make it easy for Martha
Wilkes to get the pole and break settled
the little mare for that time. n. I. III. got
his right foot foremost and beat Martha
Wilkes from the distance. After that the
Tennessee trotter landed in front each time
though he showed a good deal OF leg weari-
ness in the last two miles. Martha Wilkes
was not ready for a hard race or she might
have changed matters especially in the last
one where y. T. III. went to pieces going
away and had to close a long gap.

"My throat was the part most affected. I
suffered terrible pains. both sharp and dull.
1t felt as though band of iron was tightly
bound around it. 1 could scarcely speak
without the effort causing me pain. To

food 1 attempted to swallow would nearly
choke me. The act of chewing my food was
attended with almost unbearable pain.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1s.-Captain Hooper,
commanding the revenue steamer Corwin,
reports to the treasury department, under
date of Ounalasl>a July 81, that while cruis-
ing in the vicinity of the Pribylof Islands.
July 2s he seized the schooner Ethel, hail
ing from San Diego, CAL, for violation of the
Presidents proclamation. The Ethel he says
sailed from San Francisco. May 2 on n hunt
ing and fishing voyage and entered Bering
Sea July 8, and appears to have remained
near the Seal Islands until seized. Contin-
Gus thick fogs prevented her being seen
before
The master admitted the firing of guns
from his vessel, but said that some of the
crew had merely fired at u tin can for amuse-
ment He expressed surprise when told of
his close proximity to the seal islands, and
said he thought he was 80 or 40 miles from
them. When seized, there were found on
the Ethel ISL salted fur sealskins; 90 fresh fur
skins; IL unborn pup sealskins; two
other SKINS, one year sealskin and 200
pounds of whalebone. The vessel had a
a complete sealing outfit with boats, guns,
ammunition, salt, etc She was surrounded
by seals at the time. So plentiful and fear
less were they, said Captain Hooper, that
several might have been killed from the
Corwin's deck while lying near the Ethel.
