BLAMEs BLAINE
For the Strained keIatious-The English
Journals Give Warning.

LONDON, January THE Standard,
to-day, referring to the Behring.Sea
dispute, says that IL wears very un-
pleasant aspect" Even the possibility
of a rupture between England and
America cannot be mentioned without
feelings of deep regret. America may
count upon receiving the full measure
o. courtesy, patience and fairness which
England has already displayed. But Mr..
Blaine will do well TO bear in mind that
lirmneSs will be commensurate should
the moment arrive for its exercise with
the patience and courtesy with which
he has so far been treated. He seems
extravagantly anxious to put himself
wrong. Mr.. Lincoln cannot too soon,
on his return, devote himself 10 aScer-
tanning the resolutions Of our foreign
Office and communicating them to his
government. There is not person
in England but would hear IL
proposed with profound regret that
shots should be exchanged between
British and American vessels except in
courtesy, but it would excite greater re-
gret to hear that the British flag had
been insultod and the national honor not
vindicated by prompt repriSalS. But
We can never believe that the American
people will suffer its public servants to
force a wanton outrage upon our flag.
We will gladly bow to the tribunal OF in
ternational law. but not to the need Of
Mr.. Blaine We trust that he VIII not
pertist in menace, which is certain to be
resented and resisted.

Republican Caucus.

WASHINGTON, January 5.-The Re-
publican Senatorial caucus tonight was
not very well attended, about twenty
eight Senators only being present. The
result as far as il assumed is the
promoters OF the Elections bill
gave their consent TO the
consideration of the financial bill,
with the stipulation that il should be
pushed with the utmost diligence so as
to get it out of the way. Consequently
an effort will be made to reach vote
upon the bill by next Thursday.

ELwooD, ISD., January 5.-The resi-
dents of this town and those for miles
around are much exercised over the
earthquake which was felt here Satur-
day night. The shock was perceptible
nearly all over this county. As this
place is in the natural gas region 1t Is
very generally believed that the dis

Other OpinlOns .

LONDON, January The Pdit Mall
Gazette to-day says: "The case for arbi-
tration in the Behring sea dispute is so
clear. Lord SaliSbury's offer is so ample,
and the feeling in America in favor Of
arbitration is so general aud strong that
it seems necessary to look for Mr..
Baine'S motives for his warlike attitude
elsewhere than In the merits Of the ease.
That the American people would delib-
erately prefer a policy OF eXaggeration
and would sooner embark in 4 fratr-
cidal war with England than submit To
arbitration means Is too silly and absurd
TO need moments consideration. It's
clearly seen that Mr.. Blaine speaks, not
for the nation, but for his party; that
he means bluff and plays to the anti
English gallery. 1t is earnestly to be
hoped that the good sense and modera-
tion of the American people will speedi-
ly make themselves heard. Even 4
paper warfare between the two great
families Of the same race would be Il
blunder-a crime.
The 81. JdmcS Guzette to-day says:
"There is no reason for alarm or to an
ticipate a rupture. Mr.. Blaine's polit-
ical party is at low water mark, and re-
sorts to the old device of twisting the
British lions tail.

THE DEATH BID
OF the Prima Donna-she Was Not Afraid
to Die.

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, January O.
Emma Abbott, the great American
prima donna, died at 1:i0 this morning
OF pneumonia She was taken i'll on
Wednesday night. but persisted in go
ing on the stage and singing her part in
"Ernani," Notwithstanding her phySi-
clans advised her not TO. On New
Years day she was taken alarmingly ILL.
and conference OF physicians was or
dered From that time she had grown
worse until this morning, when she
died.
The scene at the death bed was a
pathetic one. The great singer was
conscious almost to the last moment,
despite the fact that opiatcs had
been administered. Her last words
on earth were: 81 am not afraid
to die" There were present at
the bedside Alice Ellerton, Miss
Nellie Franklin. Miss Vernon, Mr. Pru-
ette, her manager; Mr.. and Mrs. Mich
elena, Miss Annandale, OF the company;
Manager Pratt and wife Of the hotel,
and DIR. Pinkerton. The body was en-
balmed and enclosed In handsome
casket, and will go from here TO
Denver, thence to Chicago and
thence to Gloucester, Massachusetts,,
where her husband Is buried.
Her will provides for the disposition OF
her remains. Miss Abbott confidently
expected TO die, and told her physician
that her next song would be sung in
Heaven. Since that date she sank rap
idly, and although her manager had
telegraphed all over the country that
she was going to get well. she never
wavered I'm her belief OF ulti-
mate death. Two weeks ago She
telcgraphed the Albany Hotel at Den
yer for the room in which her husband
died. A similar coincidence connected
with the affair is that she died on the
anniversary of her husbands death. A
short burial service was held this after
noon at the hotel by Rev. DR.. McNiece,
of the Presbyterian Church. The body
left for the East at ten o'clock tonight.
