The Harrison nen here say that the Pres

.ary Blaine is pot coming back, took the
Bebripg Sea casa in his own hands, stopped
the shiilg sba!ying that has been going on
about it for go long, and at once put the
;rstter Ia such condition that 1t will be SET
lied 10 short order, and In the meantime Sc
cure the seais from destruction. They cay
that Mr.. Harrison not only ID tbs President,
but knows how to be, and that he has no
trouble at all in getting along without Mr..
Blaine, Il Is alec said here that MIR. Blaine
has no more govt than smallpox but has
B tights disease, and that, too, In an ad-
ysnced stage.
Democrats from Alexandria county hs:e
to-day cay the defeat OF Mr.. Clements fox
Comuou @ ,lth's Attorney and the reelec-
ton OF Mr.Veitnh for Sheriff, yesterday, was
81 aftermath Of last fsll's election, ss MIR.
Clements then opposed the regular demo.
crstic ticket, while Mr.. Veitch supported it.
People from Georgetown here to-day are
anxious to know what is to be done with
the charter for the Washington and Airing
ton Railroad. They say the present owners
OF The charter are not going to build any
road. and also that the charter has been
critically examined and that by 1t the bridge
across the Potomac provided for, cannot be
used for steam car, and that therefore the
Norfolk and Western r abroad has no use
for It, On the contrary, one of tae parties
who prepared the charter says that steam
cars can use the proposed bridge referred to.
The State Department has not been oft-
cially informed of any Intention on the part
of the GILLIAN insurgents to lombard VAL
psraiso as reported from Paris. There is no
disposition on the part of this Government,
40 far "a can be learned, to intervene" IL
the ChilIau contest, for the meaning OF this
term in diplomatic language is siding Wild
one faction or the other. The American
Minister to Chill and the Ministers of France
and Brszll stand ready to mediate betwo en-
the factions Ia the interest Of peace. II the
insurgents should attempt to lombard Val
| paradise it is more than probable that the
foreign ministers there would enter an en-
ergetic protest, based on the fact that the
foreign interests in that C t. are larger than
the pstiye Chilieu interest. 10 view Of thia
large Interest /. may be that the protest II
disregar5ed may be enforced By the foreign
heeis in Gillian waters, but their sction
would go no further than was necessary to
protect the property and lives OF foreign
subjects,
Intelligence here from several dTreni
parts of the country to-day is to the effect
that the democratic tide, West and North
ss well "a South,s setting 10 for German fol
the next President, that all the eemsnte Of
the party can ard vii support him, that be
has no ensmies IN his OWE party and many
| friends among the republicans, that he is the
most available man that can be nominated
and hrally, that If elected he will be demo
cratic President.
