An Elaborate Plan Which Will Necessitate
His Retirement From the Cabinet.
WASHINGTON, April 14.-A well-deined
plan, having foi its object the candidacy of
Secretary Blaine in 1892, has been formu-
lated here and in the West. 1t embraces
the retirement OF Blaine from his position
as Secretary of State next fall, or at any
period within a few months, when it is safe
to assume that the italian affair will have
been satisfactorily closed. 1t is the purpose
tothave his retirement from official life take
place after the political effect Of the Presl-
dents tour in the South and West has worn
off in those sections. Then Mr.. Blaine's
friends desire to take him over about the
same route, though more extensive one
The contemplated tour VIII comprise 10000
miles OF travel, as against the 6000 miles en-
braced in the Harrison intinerary. The OBJ
ject is to bring Western farmers as much as
possible into personal contact with the man
who has been working In their interests.
Representative Binger Hermann Of Ore
gon was the first TO give hint as to what
was intended but the idea has spread so
among Blaine's friends that he will in
short time be obliged to advise them of his
precise attitude in the matter.

CAUSED NO SURPRISE.
How Miss Carhart'S ElOpement Was Re-
CeiYed at White Plains.

NEW YORK, April 14-The elopement
Saturday last Of Miss Mary Carhsrt with
her mothers coachman, Otto Kieslich, in
Los Angeles, does not surprise the citizens
of White Plains. where the mother
had resided for years. They had no
ticed and gossiped about the intimacy
between the coachman and Miss Carhart
for several years. She was seen frequently
upon the public roads with Kiesllch, who
generally drove fine team of horses. She
was not an overnight girl, was delicate in
figure and deficient in sight. Kieslich's
bluff and unreserved manner in
speaking and recognizing others up-
OIL the streets when in her
company told the story of his influence over
her. She is about 20 years old. Her share
in the estate is about S125,OOO. Kieslich
was first employed by Mrs. Carhart
as coachman, but he soon became
her business agent. and last. year
persuaded the wealthy widow to invest
in a ranch in Burbank, near Los Angeles.
Persuaded by his glowing accounts, she
closed her home in White Plains last winter,
and with her whole family, consisting of
two girls and three boys, with sixteen car
loads of horses, cattle and furniture, set
out for her new home.
When here Kieslich is said to have ad-
mitted having wife and children in Brook
lyn, but said his wife was divorced from
him. He is 42 years old and eXtraYagant.

BIBLICAL CALCULATION.
Deductions Showing That the Messiah Will
Soon Return.

NEW HAVEN. April 14.-Professor Cal
Totten of Yale, says that mathematical
calculation, founded upon biblical truths,
proves beyond peradventure that the Mes
siah will come again before the year 1900.
Some papers have published" Professor
Totten said, that predict the end of the
world within this century. That is an error.
do not think that the end will come for
million years, and l have not made any
prophecy about it at all. My remarks were
neither cnmprehended nor even appre-
hended. But here is what do declare; it
is not prophecy. for the prophecy is
already told in the Bible in the parallels, of
the laborers in the vineyard and the virgins.
with their lamps: A generation, in its true
biblical sense, is seventy years, and so
fifty-seven generations traced through
genealogies In the Old Testament equal 1890
years. Hence the fifty-eighth generation
began with year 1891 of the world. The
hours mentioned in the vineyard parable
are each 1853 years. So multiplying these by
twelve hours, we have 1886, which, added
to 1891 equals 5S27 years OF the world at the
completion of the vineyard parable. Then,
as the work is naturally concluded at sun
down, the parable of the virgins aud their
lamps properly follows, and this parable,
according to the text, represents one genera
tion of seventy years, which added to 5S27
make 1897. Now this corresponds to March,

The Kaiser's Proposed Naval Coup Laughed

LONDON. April IA Paris dispatch says
that the French naval authorities express
themselves as much amused at the Kaiser's
proposition that in the event of war the
German feet would destroy the enemy By
one great coup. The French are confident of
maintaining their maritime supremacy over
the Germans, whatever NAV be tie case on
land, and leading Admiral is credited with
tie remark that very few of Germany's
vessels would survive the coup; that it
would be another Lissa, and with more dis
astrous consequences for Germany than that
battle had for Italy.
In other quarters the Kaiser's remarks
are accepted as indicating a set purpose to
provoke conflict with France and Russia,
and that at no distant date. BY the manu-
facture Of arms in France the Russian forces
will soon be completely equipped with the
most modern weapons OF destruction. 1t is

SPALDING RETIRES.
James A. Hart Elected President of the
Chicago Baseball Club

CHICAGO, April 14-At the annual meet
ting of the Chicago Baseball Club to-day
A. G. Spalding declined reelection to the
presidency and James a. Hart was selected
to succeed him. Hart has had wide expe-
rience in baseball and is thoroughly con-
versant with Spalding's methods, so it is
unlikely there will be any change in the
club. Spalding, in q letter TO Secretary
Young, says he was compelled to retire or
neglect his private business In the course
OF his letter he says the natural tendency
OF any professional game is downward, and
without a strong, fearless central organiza-
ton, acting with other associations under an
equitable national agreement, it is imp0s
sible long to retain the confidence of the
public which is necessary to success.

threats of what they may expect if the strike
is not soon settled are freely made.
Evictions were begun to-day in de-
termined manner. The families of two men
who have taken an active part in the labor
demonstrations were the first to be thrown
out. EVictions were carried on at Summit
and Adelaide, and the scenes on the roads
to-day are likely to be repeated all over the
region.

strikers ranks are breaking at many points.
Eviction is powerful lever, aud the rank
and file of the strikers are becoming dis
satisfied with the leaders. A crowd of in
furiated foreigners attacked the houses OF

day, smashing the windows and DOORS
One woman was badly injured. Thirty
arrests have been made.
