Eyck & Remington Of this city has been

According to biograhefs Of Artemus Ward,

He died in England and il was always sup

rsphefs are to be believed according to
this, Browne was married when he was q

home today. They will presen! their

HArrison's jealousy Of Secretary Blaine
lacks foundation and was started for
political purposes. Sir john Thompson
says that he believes that the Presidents
reasons for asking for posponement of
the conference wsrs good snd sufficient.
The trade question he intimsted will be
taken up in due course at Washington.
