EX-SENATOR BLAIR,
He Has q Long Talk With the President
This Morning.

He Has q Long Talk With the President
This Morning.
Senator Blair called at the White House this
about China and other topics.
When approached later on the subject of his
future movements he was diplomatic and dis
Greet, but he limited that there would be some
big appointments made soon that would
startle the community. Gossip has connected
Mr.. Blair's name with SO many places in the
gift of the President that there is no telling
just where the probabilities lie.
There is a vacancy in the American legation
in Japan, caused by the death of Mr.. Swift
and Mr.. Bair's name has been mentioned most
frequently in that connection. yet the general
opinion is against the chances of sach an ap-
pointment.
1t has been suggested that Mr.. Blair might
be placed on one of the benches that now
possess vacancies. The republican seat in the
interstate commerce commission, however,
will probably go west of the Mississippi and
unless MIR. Blair should be put one of the
new circuits there is still the Court of Claims
without a full quota.
The rumor of the selection Of Mr. Estee of
California by the President to be a member of
his official family later on may lead to a new
view of the Blair case.
The Japanese mission, already mentioned
has always been regarded as a sort OF Pacific
slope heritage and on the death of Mr.. Swift the
Californians who wanted to 20 to the land
of flowers sprang to the front by the
score. The appointment of Mr.. Estee. il is
suggested. would pacify the slope and make
Mr.. Blair Japanese possibility. That may
account for the delay of the President in filling
the vacancy.

REPUBLICANIsM IN VIRGINIA.
Bowden Talks on the Stu
ation-The state Delegation VIII BE 70
Harrison.


ation-The State Delegation VIII Be for
Harrison.
Ex-Representative Bowden. who is one of the
most prominent of the republican leaders OF
Virginia, told STAR reporter today that he
thought nothing could be accomplished by the
republicans trying to make fight in the state
this year. He thinks that the republican COM
mittee were wise in their accommodation that
no candidates be put in the field this fall.
I'VE elect legislature this fall, be said; ''the
democrats and the alliance are united and un-
der our election laws we cannot hope to ac-
complish anything. In some parts Of the state
the elections are as fair as they are in the
country anywhere. but there are rotten
boroughs which overcome what is done else
where. AT the meeting of the state committee
1t was decided that nominations ought not
to be made this fall. but that our
strength should be reserved for the con-
test IN the presidential election. If we had
candidates in the field, we could elect but few
OF them, and that result would be pointed to
as an indication of the strength of the party
and would be more or less discouraging.
NOT IN SYMPATHY WITH PARSONS.
"It was stated that was present at the meet
ing called by Mr.. Parsons to protest against the
course recommended by the state COM
mittee. was no. at the meeting and am not
In sympathy with Mr.. Parsons in this
matter. 1 understood from Mr.. Parsons that
the meeting was for different purpose. one in
which am in accord with him. understood
that this purpose was to consider the selection
of some other leader than Malone.
l think the republican party of
Virginia should have another leader. At the
same time it must be admitted that Mr.. Ma
hone has a personal following and his support
of the republican ticket is necessary TO insure
success.
Therefore, If he is to be displaced as a
leader it should be by fair and square fight
In the republican caucus. If he were beaten
IN that way l think he and his friends would
continue to support the republican party"
Mr.. Bowden said he thought the Virginia
delegation at the national convention would be
for Harrison.

Relief Nav he Afforded.

Assistant Secretary Spaulding has informed
a New York firm that due consideration will be
given to an application by them for relief from
the expense and loss incident to the marking
with the name Of the country of origin of indi-
vidual bottles Of medicine contained in q re-
cent importation. In making the rule
which are usually or ordinarily marked
to be marked with the name
Of the country Of origin, the Treasury De-
partment, the assistant secretary says, was
guided by the strict wording Of the law, but
where it is shown to the satisfaction of the de-
partment and the customs collector that par
ties have acted in good faith in the matter Of
the importation of goods not properly marked,
or that the shippers were ignorant Of the pro-
visions Of law or were guided by decisions of
the departmentin conflict with present rulings,
relief has been uniformly afforded.

Senator Ransom and the Farmers Alliance.
Senator Ransom fears that the interview
with him in The STAR yesterday, being ex-
pressed very briefly, and emitting entirely
some things that he said, may be misconstrued
and prove misleading. He says there 10 no
danger whatever from . third party movement
in North Carolina; that the large majority Of
Farmers' Alliance men and the strongest and
most influential Of their leaders are patriots
and democrats. He thinks . few Of the dema-
gogues among the alliance are tryins 10 keep
up this agitation in order TO advance their
personal fortunes, but beyond this the move
ment amounts to nothing. He ID coniidsnt
that the farmers throughout the state can be
depended on TO vote the democratic ticket With
absolute confidence.

Matters Discussed at Today's Session of the
Convention.


Convention.
The eleven division superintendents Of the
railway mail service who met liz convention
yesterday in room of the post Office continued
their deliberations today with an au-day ses-
sion, beginning at o'clock and with only a
brief recess at noon for luncheon. 1t is in
every way business meeting of
business men and great deal of
practical work is accomplished in
the course of the day. While the meetings of
these mail superintendents are of the greatest
value to the public generally, resulting as they
do in the improvement of the mail service the
particuln- subjects that are discussed are of too
technical nature TO be Of any public interest
The superintendents are from all parts of
the ccuntrr and in their meetings they discuss
the general methods of the service and any sug-
gestions that may be made for its Improvement
In this way each man knows what the others arc
doing AMI a uniformity of system results that
proves frequently to be of the greatest value. A
large number of topics are presented and these
are either disposed of at once or referred to
special committees for further consideration
and report. At the session this morning the
reports of committees appointed yesterday
were first heard and then other subjects were
taken up for action. Among these subjects
was that OF an Improvement in the present
system of counting mail In transit. mail boxes
at railway stations and whether it was advisa-
BILE to increase their number, the capacity Of
clerks in study. the construction of mail cars
and the desirability for having them made
stronger as a measure of safety to the clerks.
the methods of checking errors and the respon.
sibility Of clerks and the best methods of max
ing up mail at post Offices.
1t is expected that Postmaster General
Wanamaker and other prominent post Office
officials will attend the meeting later this after
noon and hold q conference with the super
intendents. The convention will probably
continue throughout the remainder of the
week, as there are still large number Of i'm
portant topics that have not been touched
upon at all
