PEACE IN The PARTY
Blaine and Harrison Come to
an Understanding.
THEY ARE NOT ANTAGONISTI(
The Maine Man Will be in the Hands of His
Friends-The President Laying
His Plans.

Especial to THE acknowledgements Dispatcn.I
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-An authoritative
statement can now be made regarding the
relations between President Harrison and
Secretary Blaine. They understand each
other and a solemn agreement exists De-
tween thsm regarding tue RepuOncan
journals Of the country which compelled
such an understanding. Since Mr.. Blaines
return to his post of duty, 1T was newt
able. The political friends Of the two men
demanded it quite as much as the social re-
latlons of the various caUinet officers. Inc
secretary of the treasury, for example, is
pronounced Blaine man. He had burned
his bridges on that subject during visit to
New York just before MIR. WINDOWS sud
den death. Mr.. Wanamaker is an ad-
mirer of the man from Maine. So also is
Mr.. Tracy. Aside from Mr.. Miller, the
other members of the cabinet don't count
for much in politics In this Blaine Har-
rison imbroglio, they might be cla5sed as
ION the fence"
Before the secretary returned from Bar
Harbor it is no secret that the relations
between the President and his chief secre-
tary were strained Mr.. Harrison prob
ably had not been a personal participant
in the causes that had led to the bitterness,
but it is felt that word from the chief
executive would have checked the impetu-
osity of his friends. That word was not
spoken. But it was undeniable that the
President wished to retain Mr.. Blaine
in his cabinet. On Mr.. Blaine's part it is
equally true that he desired to remain at
the head of the state department. He had
recently tried few years of retirement
from public life and makes no secret of the
fact that he did not enjoy it.
Attorney-General Miller is the minister
ing angel of this cabinet. He undertook
the task of bringing about an understand
ing and succeeded admirably. Aside from
the preamble, which reiterates the
God-given principle that "Mr. Blaine
is in the hands of his countrymen,"
the text that now lies before me runs some
thing like this: Mr.. Blaine is to remain
in the state department, but he will do and
say nothing whatever; he will not give a
single sign. This is the primary basis OF
the understanding, which otherwise would
be impossible. 1t is agreed that the Maine
Republicans shall elect their delegation
without interference from government
officials, and most important Of all, that il
they shall SO decide, Mr.. Blaine's name
shall be presented to the convention. In
stead of remaining a passive factor in the
convention, as has been given out hereto
fore, Maine is to be aggressively for the
candidate that It's delegates agree upon
AS to Indiana, the Blaine people are to keel
hands off there. On the Presidents par
it is agreed that ne will neither say nor d.
anything personally to secure delegates
Finally, the ardent supporters of each maj
are pledged to each other in the event of
nomination.

The Farmers Gathering for Organization. I

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 16.-Every known
organization of American farmers holds
some sort of meeting here this week. One
of the most interesting questions is, Shall
all interests of these concerns be merged
already in the city.
Congressman Jerry Simpson, who ar
arrived to-day, speaks most favorably Of
the Alliance outlook. President Terrell, of
the Confedersted Industrial organizations
comprising the Farmers Mutual Benefit
association, Alliance. Citizens alliance,
knights of Labor, and National alliance),
said of the objects of the meeting:
''Our purpose is to take action toward
the unitication of all labor interests; to-
adopt platform that all organizations in
the confederation can stand on so, by
united action, they may procure the
legislation they demand. The ques-
ton of combining with other labor
organizations is not to be taken
up until the February meeting. The hard
est political fight will be made on the en-
dorsement Of the Peoples party by the
Alliance, the cOpcensus of opinion of the
delegates already here being the Alliance
will not endorse third party, but will en-
dorse that party whose platform most
closely proclaims Alliance principles"
President Polk said that while the Al
lance is opposing Cleveland it is also
opposed to Blaine Harrison, Hill and any
other man who did no advance Alliance
principles ''By the way,' he added, mo
doubt you have heard of great combination
of Stanford and Polk for head
third party ticket. Why! Stanford,
Stanford would not get one Alliance
vote for constable. ALI these articles cir
culated urging Stanford for the presidency
on a third party ticket are paid boomers for
him. His circulation bill as q financial
measure degraded the proposed cur
rency from the very start"

evening and went into a saloon where a
number of miners had congreRated,
and drawing revolver from MS
pocket, snapped it in the face
of Calhoun, the bartender, who
warned him against making any trouble.
Cox was mad and paid no attention to the
bartender but raised the revolver and
fired, the bullet striking Calhoun In the
back Of the ear, passing clear through ms
neck. He then ordered every person out OF
the house and followed them out, and while
Anderson was STOPPING over trying 70
assist one Of his companions who was toe
drunk to walk Cox fired at him, the bullet
striking him in the top Of the head, pene-

NO FEAR OF ANY WAR
kalnoky Says the Peace of Europe
Is Secure.
THE EMPERoR's WORDS TWISTED
The Famine In Russia Notwithstanding
News From Brazil-Fonseca is Inter-
cepting All News Cablegrams.

VIENNA, Nov. 16.-At meeting of the
budget committee today Count Kalnoky
assured the committee the Emperor's
speech referred to by the Tdgebldtt ought to
cause no uneasiness; that although the
Emperor drew attention to the contradic-
ton between the preparations for war and
the talk OF peace. the government hoped the
problem would find peaceful solution.
Referring to Saturdays panic, he said the
public did not take a reasonable view OF
the situation, one serious word exaggerated
to serve private ends, was sufficient to
evolve an unwarranted panic. He an
nounced the new commercial treaties would
go into operation February l, 1892.
The Tdgebldtt to-day, Notwithstanding
the denials of It's story published Saturday
to the effect that the Emperor had declared
the European situation critical, insists its
report was strictly correct. The report
was the bottom of the panic on the bourse
Saturday. Holders OF stocks and bonds,
fearing the Emperor's words presaged
war, made wild rush to sell, and the re-
suit was decline not equaled in many
years. The Abend Post, having received
instructions from the prime minister, is
sued statement declaring there was no
truth in the Tdgebldtt's story. The Tdge-
bldtt says the language Of the Emperor was
drawn forth upon the occasion of an audi
ence granted to the president of the Polish
club. 1t reiterates that in the conversation
that then took place the Emperor used the
words attributed to him by the TageblGtt on
Saturday, which in substance were that
1.-The famine which now prevails in Russia
: has greatly increased the chances OF war"
| So confident is the Idgebldtt in the reli-
ability and truthfulness of the person who
furnished the information which had such
serious results that it has asked the public
prosecutor to make close and searching
investigation as TO the truth Of the article
Kalnoky has announced the zollverir
treaties would be discussed by the Aus
trian and Hungarian delegations conformity

AN ASTOR HEIR.
A Son Is Born to Nh. and Mrs.
John Jacob AstOr.
The Father Is Happy, Having Been Appre'
hensiye as to the Male succession to
His Estates and Property.
Especial to THE HERAnD-Examiner Dispatch

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
A son was born to MIR. and Mrs. John
Jacob Astor at 3 a. N. yesterday. 1t was
decided some time ago that if the expe cted
child was boy it should bear the famou
name Of John Jacob. The infant belongs
to the fifth generation which has borne
that name in America. There is another
Astor of the same generation who bears
the same name, but as he is a younger
son the bearing of that title viii not con-
tiict with the heir who came into the world
yesterday. The other John Jacob of the
fifth generation is the second son of Will
lam Waldorf Astor. 1t has been an open
secret to the intimates of William Astor
for long time that he was exceed =
iugly worried about male succession to his
vast estate.
John Jacob Astor, father of the babe
born yesterday, Is William Astor's only
son. He has always been delicate and at
the present moment is couyalescing from a
severe attack of typhoid fever. When
looking about for wife for his son one Of
the first considerations which William
Astor thought OF was that she should come
of a Grobust stock. The beautiful Ava
| Willing, of the aristocratic Philadel-
| phia family, became the third Mrs.
John Jacob Astor. The wedding took
place February II of the present year.
| The Willing men have always been noted
for their splendid health and superb ply
siques. The Astor baby is strong like the
Vikings, and if Judgment based upon the
symptoms of twelve hours IS any guide a,
all, the new heir OF the Astors bids fair to
grow strong and live long like the Will
lings. William Astor is supposed to have
$3.50, 100000. In the case of William Aston
the male succession at one time looked pre-
carious. Like John Jacob his brother, he
too, had only one son and the son was none
too robust. The joy, then, Of William
Astor can readily be imagined when the
greatest hope of his life was realized. MOI
only had male heir been born, but the
doctors announced that the child was rudy
and gave every physical promise that 6
child just born can give. This child will
be chief heir of William Aston To bt
sure there is no law of primogeniture il
this country, but it has been the custom o.
the head of the Aston house to leave hi.
money almost exclusively to the oldes
male. The first John Jacob Aston
left the bulk of his property Il
his son William b, Astor. William H
wanted to do the same with his Oldest sor
divided 1t pretty equally with the presen
William Aston, in order that the estat
might not be imperilled by contest. Tha
Johu Jacob Astor's property is now in tn
possession Of William Waldorf Astor.
The birth of the latest Aston establishe
the inheritance of William Astor's posses
siors provided the child outlives it's grand
father. The baby has at the present mo
ment from money point of view the mos
remarkable prospects of any child i
America, perhaps in the whole world.
