CLASH OF POLITICS AND LAM
why Don M. Dickinson Withdrew from IL,
Defence OF . Libel Suit.

OChGuCO " A<ADeA SuASs
DETROIT. Nov. 2s.-The recent political CAM
paign In this city has played havoc with the
libel suits brought by james A. Randall
dali is one of the most prominent Democratic
politicians in tho city. and for the past ten
years has been bitterly assailed by the Ne,oa
He has worked hard to secure appropriations
for the boulevard. his personal interests being
largely at stake. He served . term in the
State Legislature. and the Neans CHARGED that
his only object In going to the Legislature was
to secure the passage Of an act authoriEin9
tho city 10 issue boulevard bonds Tho Ns,Ds
has made charges Of corruption. and has pub.
lished dozens Of articles nnd cartoons castings
very unsavory light upon his character.
! About year ago Mr.. Randall began $50.
900 libel suit against tho NsUs. based on one
I article. and few months later he brought
another suit. laying damages at 100000 In
this suit the bill of complaint was In the shape
Of . bound volume about the size Of an aver
age law book. and covered every ar
ticle. item. and cartoon pablfshsai- mr. the
! .Ne,os since the paper began its attacks
This novA bill Of complaint was
not typewritten. but was printed and pub
lished like any book. The trial OF the suit.
| which was to begin this week. was looked for
! ward to with much interest inasmuoh as tho
.Ne,,s proposed to prove all its charges. while
Mr.. Randall claimed that he would show that
the Neos' attacks were due to animus because
he tRandsll declined to buy the paper's SUD-
port BY giving it's editor some boulevard prop:
erty. The prominence Of the Negs in local
Democratic politics made the case all the more
Everything was ready for. the trial when
Don n. Dickinson. the. salarted attorney for
the Ne,1s.rwrote note to James X Bcrtpps,
proprietor Of the paper. stating that he would
have to withdraw from the case, He made. po
explanation. but later admitted to. Mr.,
scripps that be could ,1oe take z hand
cause the latter had given him valuable
assistance In the resent campaign. when Mr..
Dickinson attempted to run the Democratic
party, but only managed to control wing Of
It. Mr.. Dickinson said he would remain attor,
ney for the Necs but could not and would not
push the case against Randall. Consequently.
when the case was called for trial the Netcs,
through another attorney. asked for more
Two days later Edwin 7: Conely. attorney for
Mr. Randall and one Of the leading lawyers OF
the State. dropped out Of the case. Mr. Conely
vas one Of illlam g. Thompson's chief snp.
porters in the last &pMpnign. and as such BIT
ers. This led to much feeling between Mr..
Conely and Mr. Randall. resulting In Mr.. Cone
ly's withdrawal Both leading attorneys In
the case having withdrawn. 1t will take several
months for the new attorneys to work up their
! qases. and tho libel suit will probably not be
tried until next summer

People who sign their letters with

so present to his mind that futher linden

is bad compliment which many persons

CHINA OBJECTS TO BLAIR.
She Refuses to Recognize Him as United
States Minister to That Country.

States Minister to That Country.
WASHINGTON, April 2S.-The Safe
Department received information to day
that China refuses to recognize Senator
Henry w. Blair as the U tied States
minister to that country. This was all
the information that could be obtained
tonight. Secretary Blaine would not
talk upon the subject, and the Chinese
Minister sent word do~n to callers that
he had retired, and his interpreter was
not in the house.
Mr.. Blair is not in Washington, but
his son was fouEd, and expressed great
surprise when informed of the action OF
the Chinese government. Il was, he
said, the first that any of the family had
heard of it. His father, he felt sure, was
not aware Of the situation. It is well
understood here that the obj ection to
Mr.. Blair is based upon his utterauces
concerning the Chinese question, and
that the republication of extracts from
his speecueS PioEucSu ueep lthpteSslou
upon the minds of prominent Chinese
officials, winch finally resulted in the
notification received by the Department
of State this evening. The objection OF
the Chinese government to Mr.. Blair
caused no evcitem ent here, as this gov
ernmen recognizes the right of a foreign
power to express its unwilliDgness to
receive a minister who is not ehtirely
acceptable.

The widespread interest which centres in
the battlefield of Gettysburg has induced
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company TO ar
range general excursion to that point from
all principal stations on its system on July
81 and 4'h next. Not only the fact that
this day is a national holiday renders the
date appropriate, hut it is ut the same time
the twenty eighth anniversary Of the great
battle. Independence Day is also a favorite
date for the visit of veterans TO the field
and there are always ceremonies of interest
to civilians as well as soldiers.
On this occasion excursion tickets will be
sold from all principal stations on the Pen
usylvania System on July 81 and It'll, valid
for return until July 9Th. The rates which
will prevail are exceedingly low. Round
trip tickets will be sold from New York at
So Philadelphia at s.. Washington at So,
Canandaigua 81 80, Pittsburg $50, and ut
proportionately low figures from other
stations.
The regular train service will be available
in most cases, but special service may also
be provided, due notice of which will lie
published later.
