WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-The acceptance
by Secretary Blaine of an invitation to ad-
dress the Merchants Association of Boston,
it is quietly hiuted by his friends here, will
open the opportunity to express himself
upon certain leading questions which the
Republican party would like to have au-
swered. The secretary has evaded all dis
cussion Of the presidential question,
but his personal friends and political
admirers have assumed that he will
not decline a nomination. lie has never
said to any of them that he would or
wouldn't. 1t is intimated that his Boston
speech will clear up some Of these matters
HIS remarks it is understood, will also con-
stitute an interesting resume OF American
commercial relations as they have been
advanced by the reciprocal agreements be-
tween the governments or TO apply to the
European colonial dependencies on the
western hemisphere.
The practical results of the reciprocity
policy formulated by the administration
Incorporated In the tariff system by con-
gress and applied by commercial agree
ments by the department. Of state, have,
say the friends OF Blaine, exceeded the most
sanguine expectations Of its authors and
promoters. Therefore, Secretary Blaine's
Boston speech will have a commercial as
well as political Importance.

The Sheriff Establishes a Dead Line
100 Feet From the Mines.
DENVER, Col, Dec. 1S.-Everything has
been quiet at the Crested Butte mines tc-
day, though it would not be surprising If
the trouble should be renewed
at any time with more serious
consequences than those OF Friday night.
Sheriff Shares and his posse still have pos
session of the mines and have fixed dead
line 100 yards from the mouth OF the mine.
and no one is allowed TO pass without
first giving the countersign. The mines
have been running ever since Friday and
they are now nearly free from gas This is
of the greatest Importance, for II they were
shut down, a few days accumulation OF gas
would cause the mines to explode, and the
entire town of Crested Butte would suffer.
FOUR DEATHS EXPECTED.
Four of the wounded Italians are expected
to die tonight. The other three may re-
cover, but it is doubtful. The state labor
commissioner had conference with num-
Der Of the leaders of the striking men to-day.
The result was the appointment OF a COM
mittee which will meet with a committee
from the owners tomorrow, with a view
of settling the differences by arbitration.
They say they will settle the matter peecea-
bly If possible, or are content 70 let the
mines remain closed, but on the first
attempt the owners make to ship In new
men they will fight.

bomb shell here. 1t is regarded in official
circles as a breach of diplomatic usage.
dne foreign Office has sent TO all the
chilean legations for the publi-
cation of circular rejecting official and
public opinion on the subject. The OficiaI
Gazette publishes the notes exchanged be-
tween the Chilean government aud Mr..
Egan, the United States minister. These
corrobora,e the declarations contained In
the circular sent TO the Chilean legations.
EGAN ASKED FOR PROOF.
1T appears that the foreign Office asked
Minister Egan in courteously worded note
on Nov. to supply his profered testimony
TO substantiate his grave charges
against Chilean officials. A months
delay in complying with this
request prevented President Harrison
from knowing the result of the inquiry into
the Baltimore affair, knowledge of which,
1t is believed. would have altered his mes
sage entirely.
