WASHINGTON, d. c., November 21.-Mr.
Blaine's home is only half a square from the
Arlington. HIS latch string has hung on the

white and cream colOred neighbours. Inc
secretary has been accessible and cordial.
He has inquired closely of tie political con-
ditions of localities, and has talked CONN.,
IDENTIFY about the prospects for next year;
But he has not said one word of his personal
intentions. Some who have visited HIM say
he looks better than they had been led to ex-
pect from the newspapers. All agree that
his mind was never more vigorous and mas
terly. Will he be q candidate! The CON-
mitteemen are seemingly as much IN the
dark as the public. All expressions OF opin-
ions are preceded with an 'if.' III his
health will permit. Blaine; if not. then har-

days visiting between the Arlington and the

So far a. the committeeman will express

BERLIN, November 2s.-The Wochenblat
announces the approaching retirement OF
Chancellor Won Caprivi. Ru,nors vary as
to the cause, but the widest circulated is that
he cannot stand the dicta.orial insolence of
the emperor.
LoHpoN.-Accuracy of the statements Of the
Berlin paper concerning the proposed resig.
nation of Won Caprivi, is generally doubted
here.
The whole trouble, it is claimed here, arose
out of the chancellor's desire for peace and
the emperor's comment upon the manner IN
which he was willing to stoop to attain this
object. The emperor. it IS added Is undoubt-
ediy anxious not to be compelled to declare
war with Russia or France. but he would
dearly like to have either of these countries
attack Germany, or SO hurniliate her a. to
cause a popular feeling which would enable
the emperor to carry out the desire OF his
life. that of leading the armies OF Germany
ia triumph against the enemies OF his coun-
try. The chancellor's efforts to curb the
Young monarch are finally said to have re-
suited in the present state OF strained reia-
