WILL Mr.. BLAINE RUN?
His Friends Will Force Him If Pos
sible.
THEY THINK HE IS YIELDING,
And VIII Come Around to Their Wow
Unless He Forbids--A Conference VIII
be Held and His Name Presented to the
Minneapolis Convention.

NEW YORK, March ga Washington
ment on foot looking the nomination of Mr..
Blaine at Minneapolis despite the letter he
has written. Some of the most prominent
Republicans in the country are enlisted in
it, and the correspondence on the subject
shows that the desire for Mr.. Blaine's
leadership is still widespread in the party.
Let it be given out that Blaine would not
refuse unanimous nomination and no
other name would be presented to conven-
ton
There is the highest authority for saving
that Mr. Blaine is we'll aware of the ex.
istence of this feeling among his old sup
porters They have visited him repeated
ly since the publication of his letter, and
all of them have protested against the
position he has taken. Some of them have
spoken To him with the utmost freedom,
going so far as TO say that with any other
candidate the party would be doomed To
defeat
Last week one OF the most influential
and experienced of the Republican Sena-
tors called on Mr.. Blaine, and after re-
marking on his improved appearance told
him frankly that the party ought to nom
mate him at Minneapolis and thereby
draft him into it's service. Mr.. Blaine made
no reply, but treated his visitor with cor
dialty and pressed him TO come again. He
declared during the conversation that his
physical condition was much improved.
There is no doubt of the fact that many
of the Blaine men here are much encour-
aged by recent developments. They be-
lieve that AN impression has been made on
their favorite by their representation OF
the situation, and that he is coming
around to their view Of matters.
So rapidly is this Blaine feeling grow
ing that unless Mr.. Blaine prohibits it,,
publicly or privately, conference is
likely 10 be held here soon and an organi-
zation effected looking To the presentation
Of his name to the Minneapolis Conven-
ION,

Depew's Significant Statement.

NEW YORK, March 3.--Chauncey M.
Depew. president of the New York Cen
trial. said: 'The Vanderbilts have no stock
in the New York and New England road
and they do not want any. BY the term
"Vanderbltsp / mean Cornelius and Will
liam X. Vanderbilt, the heads of the
family. The New York Central will not
lease the New York aud New England.
1t does not want it and has no desire TO
lease the property. III relatives of the
Vanderbilts should be elected TO the di-
rectory of the road that would not mean
that the property was TO pass into the con-
troll Of the Vanderbilts."
Austin Corbln refused to make any
statement 1t was learned, however, on
undoubted authority, that there have
been recent occurrences in connection
with the New England road which may
lead 10 interesting developments IL may
be stated positively that DIR. w. Seward
Webb, a son-in-law of the late w. IL. Van
derbilt, has consented TO accept the presi-
dency of the New York and New England.
With equal positiveness, it may be said
that DIR. Webb's action Is quite indepen-
dent of the Nanderbilts ana that IL does
not represent any desire or intention on
their part OF acquiring an interest IN the
New England road. IL is strongly init
mated that should DIR. Webb determine
TO identify himself with that property, the
Nanderbilts will officially disclSim any
connection with the matter.

WASHINGTON, March 3-Senator Hill is
conspicuously absent from the floor of the
Senate, nor does he grant any interviews
to correspondents who seek him for an ex-
planation of the Republican tidal wave in
New York.
Representative Dewitt Warner stated
that the Democratic defeat In Utica was
more significant than the result at Elmi-
ia. AT Elmira the local Democracy has
been Tor years past split up by bitter fac
tion fights, and the election might have
gone against Democrats even if Mr.. Hill
had not aroused antagonism.
But in Utica he said. the Democratic
machine sought Co conciliate its opponents
by nominating one of the boiters against
the midwinter convention, hence the de-
feat shows that the voters were bent

man Belden remarked that the voting

The revenue of the colony of Barbados
for the last quarter shows considerable
decrease (e10,3ls) compared with the same
period last year, the deficiency being large
