LONDON, Dec. lS.-As a counter-check to

agricultural conferences. Mr.. Chaplain,

The conservative organs are trying to edu-

moderate dowry, but to no further grant TO

in the room of the Senate committee on in
terstate commerce this afternoon to make
arrangements for congressional excursion
to Chicago. Senator Cullom called the
meeting to order. Messrs. Dickinson. Peck
and Lawrence, representing the worlds

aud told the arrangements they expected
to make as to train, etc The senators
and representatives present reported that
they had not yet beea able to secure
definite promises from any number OF con-
gressmen to make the trip and Senator Cul-
lom said that such senator's as he had been
able TO see could not spare the time to under
take the excursion. he added however that
he had been gratitied to learn from most of
them that thsy were thoroughly in SYM
pathy with the exposition project and in
tended to do what they could to make it a

effect that q more complete response could
be had from congressman to the invitation
when the managers of the excursion were
able to report exactly what time the train

BLAINE OUT WITH ELKINS
The NEW SECRETARY PROBABLY
HOOOWINKs HARR SON.

The President Led to Believe That
His appointment Would Induce
Blaine to Step Out Of the Presidential
Rsce-The Man From Maine Too
Willy to Commit Himself to Anybody.
WASHINGTON, Dec. lS-Secretary Elkins,
as he is already called by friends, is so GER
tain that he will be promptly confirmed
that he is already negotiating for one OF the
handsomest houses in the west end, where
he proposes to entertain more elaborately
than any other cabinet officer has yet done.
This is one thing the President had in view
In appointing Mr.. Elkins, for the President
understands the need and the value Of
Judicious entertaining. There was almost
as much talk about the Elkins appointment
to-day as yesterday. The weight OF
opinion is now. however, quite
on the side of the theory that
Mr.. Elkins has made choice of President
Harrison in preference to Secretary Blaine.
and that, while be has not broken with
Secretary Blaine, or Secretary Blaine with
him. their relations will be more formal
hereafter than heretofore. In fact, for six
months Mr.. Elkins has been more intimate
ct the white mouse than at the red house,
and has not been intrusted with Secretary
Blatne's condolences.
HARRISON HOODWINKED.
There is no doubt that President Harrison
has been persuaded by Mr. Elkins that the
Delphic utterances which have been re-
reported by him from Secretary Blaine
after their conversations mean that Secre-
tary Blaine will not accept the nomination;
but Secretary Blaine has not said this
TO anybody. The most he has ever
said was his statement last week that his
friends would know before long what he
intended to do, which was construed to
mean that he was about to make a public
declaration of his intentions. His friends
say now, however, that he will not make
any declaration, now that Russell Harrison
has given out that he would make such an
announcement, and that 1t would BE-
withdrawal. in consideration of the appoint.
ment of Mr.. Elkins. Secretary Blaine is
angry at this latest Russell Harri-
son blunder. He wants it distinctly
understood that he had nothing
to do with the appointment Of Mr.. Elkins,
and that he considers the Russell Harrison
suggestion remarkably impertinent even
for him. The present expectation of Secre-
tary Blaine's friends is that Secretary Blaine
will say nothing publioly until his speech in
Boston, Jan. z when he will, they say, sac
cept the nomination.
