harrison stays Away from Church to-
Talk with Politicians.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 1.-THE evident
anxiety Of President Harrison as shown by
his sending for Clarkson and Elkins and
staying away from church Sunday morning
to talk with the latter, is regarded by the
Blaine men here as very encouraging.
They have no moro idea that President Har-

That interview was suggested by the Pres--
was practically fruitless, as Quay's course
shows. President Harrison is believed to
be trying to get hold of Quay again.
