DOUBTS EXPRESSED
As TO Whether Blaine
Would Refuse.
THE ELUSIVE CHINAMAN.
New Laws Are Needed to Check the
Flood Of immigration.

WAsHIScTcN, Feb. iO-Tne letter of
Blaine il still the abscr' Jog topic Of con
versation in 10th wings ci the Caritol. the
executive department and political CEN
tres. The comments and conclusions
concei nin1 II are Of the widest diversity
Those who have been and are closely iden-
titled with Blaine. consider the letter
IS meaning no more and no less than the
Florence letter of 1888. They assert if
there should be a stubborn contest in the
convention at Minneapolis among candi
dates who will now come forward and
there shonld be no visible way ont of the
complications, and the convention should
turn TO him To aid them out of their diff
culties, he would accept. He was ready
10 do the same thing in 1888. but the
friends Of Sherman. Alger and the other
candidates refused to withdraw In order
TO permit the convention 70 nominate him.
Under this condition there was no course
left but to refuse to allow Ills name to be
used.
Senator Washburne Of Minnesota rs-
marked that, in his Judgment, the letter
would not have any influence on the situa-
ton, because. II Blaine were nominated he
would accept and there was nothing in
the letter to the contrary. He does not
fall In with the view that IL Blaine were
out of the race that Harrison's nomina-
tion would be certain to follow. There are
other prominent Republicans in both
houses who take the same view. The
friends of the administration and of the
other candidates however. express the be-
lief that Blaine Is permanently out and
that under no condition will his name he
presented to the convention. They mean TO
take him at his word, and not allow his
friends to create the impression that he
can be relied upon IA a last resort.

FOREIGN PENSIONERS.
General Newberry Gives Few Inter-
estingsFncts Concerning Them.

General Sewberry Gives u Few Inter-
estingsFncts Concerning Them.
WASHINGTON, Feb. TO- - The bill intro
duced by Representative Newberry Of
Illinois cutting of pensions to foreigners
and non residents of the United States IL
becoming n subject Of international inter
est, and threatens TO become one Of the
most serious problems TO be solved this
session. In one province In Canada over
1900 people will be affected by the pro-
posed legislation, and General Newberry
estimates that the foreign beneflciarics Of
pension laws aggregate st least 1900.
General Newberry says that after the war
foreigners who came to this countrc' as
soldiers of fortune and had served In it's
armies, returned to their native countries,
where they have since lived. Their chii-
dren will naturally be found In the ranks
Of the army of their country, whether IL
be for or against the United States or other
countries.
II Is not their purpose to return to this
country; nor do do their sons acknowledge
allegiance to the United States. The PEN
sioncr takes advantage OF his condition to
absolve himself from duties to his homo
government and lives in ease and luxury
upon the bounty Of the United States. He
is constant source of annoyance to our
consuls and ministers abroad In demand
ing protection under our flag from duties
owing 10 his own government. There are
several thousand such pensioners living in
wurtemburg. Germany, and they are also
scattered all over eastern Asia and west
crn Europe. Many are living in the Brit
ish Isles and the Canadas.
