Blaine.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June L-Excitement
becomes more and more intense here as the
date of the republican national convention
approaches. In this city the talk is all of
Blaine and his every motion is taken a. sig
nifcant and becomes the subject of universal
talk for the time. On Sunday Secretary
Ekins spent some time at Blaine's residence
and excitement ran high.
PAnother personal declaration was looked
for, but tho politicians were disappointed;
Mr.. Blaine issued no card. His partisans are
frantic, many claiming to know that Mr..
Blaine has said to somebody that he would
permit the party to take action at Minneap-
oils as it might decide, and he would abide
the result. This, in the light of his repeated
afirmations of the sentiments expressed in
his letter to Nh. Garrison, before q state
convention had met, seems improbable.
No utterance of Mr.. Blaine's can be shown
other than expressing his settled determine
ton not to be a candidate.

Sure as Sunrise.

SuT0 as SunTIS0s
WASHINGTON, D. C.-Representative Bou-
telle, of Maine, left Saturday for Minneap-
oils, carrying with him the assurance that
Blaine will accept if nominated. just prior
to his departure he had brief but pointed
interview with the secretary of state at the
latter's house. The correspondent says:
saw Mr.. Boutelle at the station as he was
about to take the train, and he said to me
with an earnestness that carried conviction
with it.:
81 leave feeling as sure of Blaine's nomina-
ton as am that the sun will rise to morrow"
"And are you equally sure he will acceptr'
and evidently weighing every word, '.f /
were not what do you suppose would be go
ing to Minneapolis for?'
Then there is no truth in the rumor that
Blaine will write another letter."
''It has not feather to stand on. Blaine
Will write no more letters, send no kilograms,
nor give any instructions to anybody to de-
mand the withdrawal of his name or decline
the nomination for him."
"You are certain of that?'
Absolutely"
SWELL, did Mr.. Blame give you authority
to make this statement?'
The question was evidently an embaIrass;
ing one. Mr.. Boutelle did not know that
had seen him leave the Blaine mansion. Per-
haps if he had he might not have been will
ing to talk so freely, for he would then have
known that everything said would be re-
garded an ex cathedra, 90 he evaded direct
reply and said: 'tSay that am going to the
convention with the li9htest of hearts, conf
dent not only of Blaine's nomination, but of
his acceptance and his election"

clustering Ulster,

BELFAST, June 1.-The Telegraph publishes
the proposed plan of resistance to the man
dates of an Irish parliament should such
body be established. The article was written
BY prominent Irish Unionist. It says that
the men of Ulster will not allow elections to
occur. The election writs will be publicly
burned by the sheriffs of counties and the
mayor of Belfast Immediately they are re-
ceived. Judges and magistrates taking their
commissions from the new executive will not
be recognized. The police force will be re-
organized with special constables sworn to
replace the regular police. The queens taxes
will be paid, but taxes levied by the Dublin
parliament will not. The custom house will
be seized and held until the question is set
tied. Continuing. the article says: SIN the
event of war the north will be in better posi-
ton as regards credit and geographical posi-
ton than the south. Belfast is unassailable,
while Dublin Is open to direct and immed:-
ate attack"

The Capitol In Bad Condition. !.
WASHINGTON. D. c., June 1.-The experts
employed 70 investigate the sanitary condi-
ton of the capitol. after searching exami-
nation have handed in their report. Il shows
that the ventilation is on the whole good and
sufficient, and is skillfully controlled to meet
the requirements of all conditions except
that of overcrowding during interesting de-
bates. The drainage of tho building, ito
sewers and plumbing appliances, are, on the
contrary, very defective and faulty. They
combine nearly all the defects of the early
stages of art, practically unredeemed BY its
modern Improvements. If the ventilation OF
the capitol were not 90 good, its plumbing
work would make it uninhabitable, and some
of this il beyond the power of any general
ventilation to make tolerable.

In Remembrance.

The daily newspapers of Tuesday con-
tanned numerous dispatches from the princi-
pal cities of the loyal states; nor were they
almost every community in the land, detail
ing more or less fully the observance of Me-
mortal Day.
It would seem from the great multitude of
these press reports that the day was more
generally observed than usual, and that there
was a more general participation by citizens
of all classes in the memorial services.

Quietly Done.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Secretary Blaine's 10
signation was taken to the White house by
his private secretary, Mr.. Dent, who placed
it in the hands of the president. This was a
little before O'Clock and within fifteen min
utes after it was written. Soon after reading
it the president DESCENDED to the east room
and held his usual Saturday afternoon recep-
ton to the public. There were about 200
people present, not one of whom. as he shook
the presidents hand, could of told by his
cool manner that anything unusual had hap
pened.
The reception over. the president returned
to his library and addressed the letter to
Blaine accepting his resignation. This was
given to Private Secretary HalfOrd with in
structions that it be delivered at once, and
Mr.. Halford thereupon took it over to Mr..
Blaine's house and placed it in his hands.
Thus the whole transaction did not con-
sumo more than an hours time.
Both the president and Mr.. Blaine decline
to say anything in explanation of the reslg-
nation correspondence.

Picked Up by a Cyclone and Dash ed
to Pieces.
McCooK, NEB.-The sky was clear; cloud
passed over; suddenly 1t turned and cyclone
was formed. It dipped down and took the
metal roof off a business building; hurting
some cigar makers up stairs. Its next dip
was upon the Congregational church, where
rehearsal for Children's day was in progress.
The younger of the children, some 200, had
just been dismissed, leaving sixty still at
work, with pastor and others. The church
was picked up as it were like an eggshell in
an eddy of the wind, and then dashed down
with great force. Many of the dismissed
while all left in the church were injured !;
some quite seriously, yet none were killed.

The stock of cotton in the country contin-

PORTLAND, ORE, June AT the Presbyte-
rian general assembly resolution was
adopted, saying: sour church holds that
the inspired word, as it came from God, is
without error. The view of ordination recog-
nizes that the Bible is the only infallible rule
of faith and practice" and it was recon-
mended that those officers of the church who
have ceased to hold this view should seek
congenial places outside of the denomination
without waiting for discipline.
At the afternoon session an earnest plea
for deliverance by the assembly against the
practice of lynching negroes in this coun-
try" met with decided approval.
A resolution calling the attention of minis
ters, elders and students to the evils of the
tobacco habit was passed with shout.

Senator ingalls, declined to express his opin-

Blaine's retirement from the cabinet. The
rest of the delegation, however, declared
themselves unreservedly for Blaine, and pre-
dicted his nomination and election. Blaine,
they say. has always been favorite with
Kansans, and they are now again glad to do
all they can to place hum in the presidential
chair. His resignation was considered by
them to mean that he was a candidate for
nomination. They we're uninstructed by the
convention which elected them, and they
were free to vote a. they saw best. Their
