HOW THEY WILL APOLOGIZE.
western Roads VIII Send the Boston d
Maine Some Queer Tickets.

CHICAGO, December 22.-Chairman
Caldwell of the Western Passenger AS
sociation has received replies from the
Boston & Maine and Central Vermont
roads in regard to their issue of tickets,
which have been disturbing rates west of
Chicago. The Central Vermont people
explain that the split tickets, of which
complaint was made, were taken off sale
and new form substituted containi &
none of the objectionable features of the
others. They declare their intention of
paving the Western roads their full pro-
portions on all tickets sold over their
fines, allowing divisions on the basis of
the advanced rates from Chicago and St.
Louis to Missouri river points, A less
satisfactory reply was Civ n by the Bcs-
ton & Maine, which was apparently ruff
; fed by the imputation that its business
methods were not entirely regular and
thought an apology due it from the
western roads. The apology will be
forwarded in the shape of number of
split tickets of the Boston s. Maine Issue
and dated Boston, December 81, having
a five DAYS limit, and purchased in the
Chicago market on the same day that
they we're alleged to be issued in Boston.

MR.. BLAINE DOING WELL
DIR. Johnston Says tho Invalid Is Feeling
sstrong and Talking Too Much.

WASHINGTON, December 22.-"This
has been an uneventful day for Mr.,
Blaine,'' sa DIR. Johnston at $50 this
evening when met at the door at the
Blaine residence ST have just come
from his bedside and found him holding
his own. The fact that he does not
seem to lose strength is encouraging. He
converses whenever permitted, and is
in fact inclined to talk too much for his
own good. He assimilates food and that
alone gives him the necessary strength
to combat disease and withstand relapses
should they come. I see nothing in his
condition tonight to warrant apprehen-
sion on the part of his family and friends
of any immediate danger. will not go
to the house again tonight unless unex-
pected complications, set in. There
were no outward indications when / left
him that he would be threatend with
anything to demand my presence.
The house was more brilliantly light
ed tonight than for some nights past.
Now and then pathetic glinapses of the
sad scenes about Mr.. Blaine's beside are
caught by the many lager. anxious
friends who patrol the paths of Lafayette
squire, opposite the Red House, waiting
aud watching for the slightest scrap OF
information from within. Last night
the suffering statesman, who had been
in deep slumDer, which is one of the
symptoms of his disease, suddenly
aroused and said: "Where is Hattie? I
want her hand"
'.Here am, papa," said Miss Harriet,
as she placed her hand in that of her
father.
Mr.. Blaine smiled gratefully and at
once sank into deep slumber. Fol-
more than an hour Miss Blaine sat mo-
tionless. her hand clasped in that OF her
fathers, not daring to move. At anoth-
er time Mr.. Blaine awoke from sleep and
said:
''Where are the faces Of my chill
dren?''
Ever since his children, when not ac-
tually surrounding his bedside, have
been within an instant's call.

LAREDO, Tex, December 22.-Infor-
nation was received here yesterday that
Gen. Estrada, stationed at Mier, Mexico,
is missing from his post of duty and is
thought to have joined the revolution
lists, who are said to be marching toward
the interior of Mexico. 1t is known
there was battle on the 18th on Mexi-
can soil, near Guerrero, between Mexi-
can troops and revolutionists, with
victory for the latter. Five soldiers were
killed. The Revolutionists, 400 strong,
continued their march toward the int8-
rior. When last heard from they
were within a few hours march of
the town of Ceraivo The information
is from person high in authority. He
further states that the Mexican troops

march into the interior and that no fur
ther trouble will come from his side of
the Rio Grande. 1t is said that the
revolutionists are making for the small
interior towns on the railroads north
west of Guerrero and Mier, and some
say that even New Laredo may be at
tackep at any moment, and that fight
may be expected at Ceralvo, rich
mining town. Yesterday a special train
over the Mexican National pulled into
Lampasas, seventy miles southwest of
here, with eight carloads of Mexican
cavalry, who were unloaded there. This
strengthening of the forces here indi-
Gates that the Government fears an at
tack from that point by the revolution
lists. Merchants here are countermand-
ing orders to points in the North for
through shipments of goods to points in
Mexico until the present trouble sub
sides.
The Mexican government troops sent
to the Sierra Madre country to suppress
the Yaqui and Mayo Indian uprising are
unable to put down the rebellion. The
Indians, to the number of about 5000,
have their rendezvous in almost inacces
sible canons on the Yaqui river, and
bands of them continue to make fre-
quent raids upon the white and Mexican
settlers. Dozens Of families have been
nassacred during the past few weeks,
and the troops have been owerless to
prevent the depredations. The Yaquis
number about 10000 and they have
never been conquered by the Mexican
government. They occupy rich agri-
cultural and mineral region, and have
never paid taxes.

PARIS, December 22.-The Bonapartists
are making demonstrations. They have
drafted a manifesto to the people urging
the recall of the House of Bonaparte.
The manifesto awaits the approval of
Prince Victor, the recognized head of
the family, who is now in Brussels.
The government is greatly gratified by
the action of the Pope in refusing at this
critical time to become tool of
monarchist plots, and the friendly rela
tions of church and state will undoubted-
ly be strengthened should the crisis re-
suit in triumph for the government.
NJ Delafosse writes to the Figaro that
the parliamentary republic is ruined and
ought to be replaced by consular re-
public, with Prince Victor Bona
parte as first consul. The sugges-
ton is looked upon as an attempt to
revive the empire through the same pro-
cess by which the first Napoleon arrived
at the throne. 1t attracts attention only
as indicating the strained situation which
makes such suggestion possible.

CIemencean and Deroulede Make Great
Deal Of Noise.
PARIS, December 22.-The duel be-
tween M. M. Clemenceau and Deroulede
took place today, as arranged. Neither
was hurt. General Saussier refused to
act as arbitrator. NJ de Slaudes was ap-
pealed to and he at once decided that
the deputies should have an opportunity
to take shots at each other. They should
be placed 25 PAGES apart, with the privi-
lege of advancing three steps during the
firing. The parting between Deroulede
and his friends was very affecting, as
was also the farewell of Clemenceau to
his followers. NJ. Deroulede was greatly
downcast and fully expected to lose his
life. NJ. Clemenceau exhibited reso-
lutte spirit that evoked the admiration of
his friends. The duel was fought on the
ST. Ouen race course. While waiting for
the word both men faced each other
without apparent emotion. At the word
''fire'' both pistols were discharged al
most simultaneously. The bullets went
wide of their mark. Again the combat
ants elevated their weapons and blazed
away This time the shots had gone too
high and neither was hurt. Again were
their pistols raised but again did the
bullets do no harm. The seconds in
sisted that the duel must terminate.
This was agreed to and the principals
congratulated.
Sarcastic Madame De Lesseps.
PARIS. December 22.-Writing from
her country home to friend in Paris,
Nine. De Lesseps says: Excuse the
scrawl, for my fingers are nearly frozen.
We are scarcely able to keep up the fires
in this modest home, transformed into
magnificent chateau by our enemies. We
are now engaged in putting up some
plain stoves whose pipes pass out through
the wine ows. 1t looks as if we had gone
back to feudal times; fortified chateau
provided with loopholes to defend us
against our foes, whence issues smoke
instead of shot, which would be quite
good enough to drive off our present as
sailants.''
Adding to the List.
PARIS, December 22-The Matin says
| that fifteen more warrants have been
prepared against Senators and Deputies,
and that public prosecutors in the coun-
try districts have been instructed to
search the residences of accused persons
and examine witnesses for evidence in
relation to the charges. These proceed
ings will, it is apprehended, add greatly
to the excitement in the country dis
tricts, already aroused to a dangerous
pitch.

first battalion cantons to Worcester and
Salem, Mass, the first week in October.
In the first battalion are four cantons and
they are located at Montpelier, st.
Adams, Barre and Burlington.

The election law contains no provis-
ion for the substitution of the name of
a candidate in place of one who dies
after his nomination is filed and before
election, and this oversight gives the
Democrats an assistant judge in Orange
county. Two had to be elected, and as
there was only one Republican candi-
date for the Office on the ballots the
Democrat who received the most votes
was elected.
