Senator Hansbrough Will Run Up
the Ensign Of the Man
From Maine.
He Has Assurances That Blaine
Will Accept Nomination
in 1892.
And the North DalSOtan Will Boost His
Cause-s0ss platt in Line for
Blaine.

WAsHIHGToN, May Ex-senator Hans
brongh has closed up all his work in Wash
ington and left for New York this after
noon. He will not return again until Octo-
ber In conversation with a correspondent
this morning he let drop few remarks
which indicate that he has assurances from
headquarters that Blaine is by no means
out OF the presidential race next year. IT
| comes from pretty authentic source, too,
that Hansbrough will be an active
Blaine worker in the west during the
| next year. Hansbrough ia the North Da-
kota member Of the national republican
| campaign committe. and if he agrees to
bring Blaine delegation to the next con-
vention from North Dakota, no one here
fears that he cannot deliver his goods.
Senator Hansbrough has spent the last
month in New York city. He has had daily
conferences with the leaders and with re-
publican politicians of the country. The
result of these conferences it is claimed,
has convinced those who participated in
them that Blaine would accept the presiden-
tiai nomination. Some intelligent hgur ing
on delegations at these conferences reveals
the fact that Blaine can have every state
NCICHubiOA "ebb VI JtS NlSols3lpUl u6
wants them. and he can have New York.
Boss Platt is ready to come in out Of the
wet at an opportune moment. The fact is
that Platt has found a strong undercnrrent
of sentiment among republicans in the
Empire state in favor Of Blaine and be
has admitted this much to the politicians
He is clever enough not to show his hand at
this time, gs he is now serving an engage
ment as ''ohief rap distributor for the ad-
ministration. He is waiting now for Blaine
to hold out the olive branch to him. If
Blaine makes this peace Offering Platt is
won over, The truth is that platt will fall
into line anyhow. when he finds that the
piumed knight cannot be stopped. 1t
appears that Clarkson, State Senator Fas-
sstt. Tim Byrnes, and other stalwart young
republicans, have been among those who
have carefully scanned the situation in
New York. If their real sentiments could
be published, 1T would show bnt few of
them have any idea that Harrison will be
unless Blaine will not accept.

Cry OF MEXICO, (via Galveston), May IS,
The war department received dispatch
from Acapulco which says there is no pro-
liability of fight between the Charleston
and Esmeralda. The Itsta has not vet
been sighted and unless she has bssn cap
tured by some other United States cruiser,
is probably off Central America by this time
with fuel furnished by the Esmsralda.
Gen. Pedro Hinjosa. secretary of war, said
this morning that Mexico only Insists that
her neutrality be respected, and she will
not interfere with the Esmeralda beyond
refusing to sell her coal or arms. An Off
cor Of the Esmeralda told correspondent
at Acapulco yesterday that his vessel would
try and get coal here, bat if refused she
could get it elsewhere within few hours.
He said: 1--WE are not afraid of conflict
with the Charleston, but our orders are to
be prudent and not provoke a conflict"
He stated that his captain received long
cipher dispatch from his government in
Chill Saturday, but its contents were IN
known.

JIM RALsTON IN REAL LIFE.

| A Respected Ohio Man Found to Have
.t Forged Scores of Papers.
CINCINNATI, O.. May 18.-When the drama
Jim, the Penmau,' was riding the tide of
success the idea of such daring character
being found in real life was secuted. That
a man with sufficient nerve to successfully
carry on schemes of forgery that rival the
acts of Jim Ralston, of the mimic world.
existed aud moved in real life is shown
by suit filed in the court of CON-
mon pleas this afternoon. The trial
| of the cause will raise number of legal
questions OF great moment to the business
community. The plaintiff in the case is
Luther M. Benson, president of the Center
county. Ohio. The defendants are tho
Ohio Valley bank of Gallipolis and the
Merchants National bank of this city. The
person charged with the commission of a
double forgery is Samuel p. Vaughn, who,
until last October, resided on his farm
about six miles from Gallipolis.
He was prominent citizen and appar-
emily prosperous. farmer and country mer-
chant. and stockholder in the leading
paper of the county. He was very popular
with all classes, and his word was worth 100
cents on the dollar. He is now i'll Canada
and foul play was suspected. Then it was
suddenly discovered that there were irregu-
larities i'll his business. This led
to an investigation, when it came out that
he had been forger on Wholesale plan.
He forged the name of his father and
brother, of his partner. of his neighbors
right and left, both male and female. He
forged drafts and even deed. Some sixty
five forged papers have been found, agere-
eating probably $4,000. The forgsries ex-
tend over several years.
He kept from discovery by paying inter
est promptly and occasionally paying off
small note or making payments on larger
ones. His crooked work was discovered in
q forged note for $1,000. purporting to DO
drawn by Mrs. M. Y. Morton and her two
daughters rs security. Benson's bank gave
him draft on Il Cincinnati bank. Vaughn
forged the Endorsements and secured the
money, and the present suit is over this
draft. Vaughn lost the money i'll wheat

WASHINGTON. May 1S.-Secretary Rusk.
speaking to-day of the presidential excur-
sion, said it was q wonderful one. Espe-
cially gratifying was the reception in the
south, but the great American public was
enthusiastic from start to finish. and if the
good folks on the route omitted any cour-
tesy it was more than he. could do to dis
cover it. 1.-The feature of the trip that
impressed me more even than the popular
enthusiasm" continued the secretary,
was the remarkable oratorical ability of
the president. He made greater number
of frst-ciass speeches in month than
many public men could think of and de-
liver in a life time. And his efforts were
not prearranged for some of the best

About thirty days will be required to COM

to begin work and they do not seem dis
posed to crowd matters any faster than they
have to.
The motion for the removal of James A.
Talbot as special administrator of the
Davis estate was set for hearing to-day, but
no one appeared on either side and the case
was passed until it should be called up
again.
