WAsHINcToN, May 3l.-While here ex.
Senator Platt, Of New York, had interviews
with ex-Speaker Reed, Senator Hiscock and
several others, aud assured every one with
whom he conversed that Mr. Blaine was
going to be nominated, and that his advices
from all parts Of the country indicated O
constant falling off in President Harrison.
strength. The sensational stories that are
being printed regarding Mr. Blaiue's il
health are absolutely groundless; the truth
is that Mr.. Blaine is in about the condition
today that he was six months ago; no better
and no worse. The statements Of ex-Gov
ernor Foraker, Governor Mckinley, Chair
man Clarkson, J. Sloat Fassett and other
Of equal prominence are to the effect that
he win not decline the nomination il 1t il
rendered by the Minneapolis convention.

Now Smiles at the Blaine Boom.

CHICAGO, May 3l.-John c. New, who is
here, is inclined to smile at the suggestion
that anybody but Harrison has the re-
motest chance Of being the Republican
nominee. II can see no reason why the
party should set aside a winner in order 70
favor men who either have not proved
themselves winners or have demonstrated
that they cannot win. ] think Mr.. Harri-
son win be nominated for president on the
first ballot and Mr. Morton for vice presi-
dent on the first ballot for that Office
There is no evidence to show that Mr.
Blaine is a candidate, and there is positive
proof that he does not desire the nomina-
tion. His letter to Mr.. Clarkson was volun-
tary. Nobody asked him to write. It
covered the whole ground. In the face OF
it cannot see how he can be candidate.
II think that Mr.. Blaine will not be a
candidate, and further, that he will not
allow this impression to continue. 1 know
that without President Harrison reciprocity
would never have been of any practical
value. More than that, the documents IN
the handwriting of the president himself
will show exactly who guided all the nego-
tions regarding the Behring sea and Chilian
affairs. But you must not understand that
this is in any way an attack upon any one
They do not have to for il is beyond the
shadow Of doubt that he will be nomi'
mated on the first ballot. He can count the
delegates now who will bring this about
The men who oppose him can be counted
upon the fingers Of one hand"

Alleged Opposition of Formidable
Character Organized at Chicago.
CHICAGO, May 3l.-According TO well
posted persons the oil fields Of Pennsylya.
MIA, Virginia and Ohio are not to remain
the undisputed possession Of the Standard
Oil company. The existence of another
huge corporation, composed of London ana
Chicago capitalists, has just become known,
and enough was learned to show that the
plans Of the new company are nearly ma
tured and that the company proposes to be
a formidable rival TO the Standard. The
financial hackers Of the new venture have
as much money in sight now as that con
trolled by Standard Oil magnates.
A pipe line viii be constructed from the
oil regions Of West Virginia, Ohio and
Pennsylvania TO the seaboard and $500, 00l
will be expended for this purpose. 1t is the
intention to connect with the seaboard al
the principal oil producing regions. In 8
quiet way the new company has already
secured possession Of several wells, whose
flow reaches several thousand barrels daily,
and also large amount Of territory in the
oil regions which is yet undeveloped, but
which is known to be rich in oil. The sea
board terminal will be at Baltimore.
Mr.. George B. Cowlnn, of Pittsburg, has
been in consultation with the Chicago par
ties advising its members in regard to pipe
lines, oil territory, etc.
