PREPARING FOR WORK.
Secretary Blaine Soon to Resume Charge 0
State Department Affairs

State Department Affairs
NEW YORK, July 2l.-The Commercial
Advertiser has learned through semi-offi-
cial sources here that Blaine Is gradually
preparing to resume the charge of State
Department affairs. He now has private
secretary with him, and is getting together
the loose ends of the work which he let
drop so suddenly when he was first taken
sick. 1t can hardly be said that he is ac-
tually doing any work yet, but be is begin
ming to inform himself about the affairs of
the Administration and to test his capacity
for working. The awakening of interest in
his work has not, it is said. retarded his re-
coyery, but on the contrary seems to be-
beneficial to him. 1t is believed that he
will be able to resume his former position
in the Administration in the fall,
WASHINGTON, July 2l.-The Star says:
Some of Mr.. Blaine's friends declare, and
the President, it is said. has become con-
vinced that the Maine statesman has abau-
dOned any idea he may have had of being
candidate in 1892. Mrs. Blaine is opposed
to his again being candidate, and he would
not run any very great risk to his health for
the honor. 1t is said that he has given evil
dence of dislnclination 10 permit the use
OF his name in connection with the Presi-
dency. 1t is believed that Mr.. Blaine has
told the President In so many words that he
will not be candidate. AT all events Har-
rison is said 10 be satisfied that Biaine will
not oppose him. Mr.. Harrison's UNDER
standing of the situation is that Mr. Blaine
would be better satisfied to be permitted to
continue for another four years III the State
Department and to be allowed TO carry out
his own policy in his own way than to make
run for the Presidency"

4 Local Government Bill Pro-
posed.
The ImprOA Condition Of That Country
Much Commented Upon.
Advantages Of The Conservatives In Under
taking Home Rule .LeslSlatiOn-Under-
standing With Irish Members


LONDON. July 21.-During the debate on
the irish estimates in the House of Com
mons, Balfour, Chief Secretary for Ireland,
intimated that local government bill for
Ireland, based broadly OIL the same lines as
the English and Scotch acts, will be intro
duced at the next session. He asked
whether the bill would have the support of
the Irish members. I. NJ. Healy said that
it would have their support.
The intimatipn made by Balfour in the
Commons, says special cable correspond
ent, to the effect that local government
bill for Ireland based on the same lines as
the English and Scotch acts will be intro
duced by the Government at the next ses-
sion of Parliament, is founded on fact, and
such a measure will certainly become part
Of the Government programme for the next
session. The discussion of the estimates in
Parliament has been made the occasion for
long reviews in the press, in which the i'm
proved condition of ireland, the fact that
agrarian crime has diminished, trade in
creased, evictons lessened in number, boy
cotting almost ceased, the plan of campaign
become almost extinct, and emigration de-
creased, are considerably touched upon.
During the past week five of the principal
banking corporations in Ireland have held
annual meetings, and declared dividends of
10 per cent.
The Standard referring to this improve
ment in the condition of ireland asserts
that the discoutinuance of the subsidies re-
ceiyed from the United States is largely re-
sponsible for the improv ement Tenants"
the Standard adds. "bribed by American
dollars will persist in their dishonesty and
unlawful conspiracy, but left to face un-
aided the consequence of their criminal
mistake, first in one place and then another
they have found it necessary to surrender,
while the humiliasing collapse of the plan
of campaign has given a warning as to the
worth OF the solemn pledges of the agi-
tators. Gladstone has already stated that
1t is undeniable that the Conservatives in
some respects have great advantage in un-
dertaking home rule legislation, for when
the Tories propose radical legislation the
lords growl, but they bear it. In the mean
while the most remarkable feature is the
curious reapproachment between Balfour
and the Irish members. The Irish see that
their arch-UpDonent is after all human and
that he has the qualities Of sincerity and
courage not inferior to their own. There
has been change made on both sides and
Balfour has perhaps learned the most"

Many persons have been attacked by rabid
foxes within the last few DAYS, and thus far
thirteen persons have been severely bitten.

animals. The fox rushed at him and
lively fight ensued The man being un-
armed, his clothes were torn into shreds, but
he finally succeeded in beating the beast off
