BLAINE,s RED HOUSE.
Gossip About tho Ex-Secretsry and His Late
Home I'm Washing Rton.

Gossip About tho Ex- Secretary and His Late
Home I'm Washington.
frecial to tho Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, July 9.-The big red house
standing oppotite Lafayette Park, across
the way from the executive mansion, has
been closed tight for the last month. The
grass in the garden in front of the house
has grown long and struggling, aud cob
websar gathering about the windows and
door-ways. The house has been closed
since the day Mr.. Blaine and his family
left it. few days after he sent in his resig-
nation as Secretary of State.
1t ie strange, but Nix. Blaine seems to
have dropped out of Wasbington's ex.
istence as completely as the house is closed
to the public. Nothing is heard of Mr.
Blaine or his plans. and there seems to be
little or no interest as to his future career.
II Is not generally known that few
months before Mr.. Blame resigned he CON-
pleted the purchase of the red house. Ex-
actly what will be done with it no one can
tell. 1t is hardly likely, though. that Mr..
Blaine and his family will return to occupy
it next winter. The location is most de-
sirable one. and should Mr.. Blame intimate
that be wished to rent 1t, it could be readI-
some high official who wished a comfort
able. pleasant Washington home. How
ever, there are many who say that the
House is an unfortunate one, and
that whoever has occupied IL
has either had private or Of.
ticial disaster. The record of
Mr.. Blaine's family affections are too well
known in this respect TO need repetition.
Mr.. Blaine has another house in this city.
the large ono on Dupont circle. which has
been rented to Mr.. Letter, of Chicago This
gentleman, however, Is building q very
handsome residence across the street from
the old Blaine house, and next to tho
Chinese legation. which he will occupy
next winter, and. therefore, should the
Blalncs desire they could occupy this
house. and not return to the unfortunate
one on Lafayett square. This little spec
ulation in regard to what the Blaines will
do Is about the only way the family 10
talked OF at the capital at this timo.

of the report of the special committee
which investigated charges against
the management of Commissioner Raum.
and there are those who have heretofore
stood out against transfer to the War
Department who now say it would be
better, and stop all controversies as to al
legged partisan management The only OBJ
lection that has been offered to making the

control of the work of allowing pensions
they will not have as much heart In the in

Why Minister DENLY Has Not Given Way

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, July Cit is stated that
the President will make very few changes
in the foreign service after Congress ad-
journs. and before it reconvenes in Decem-
Der. He is averse to commissioning men
for the foreign service without action by
the Senate. The President is not to blame
for maintaining General DENLY. an Indiana
Democrat, at the head of the Chinese le-
cation. He gave an opportunity to fill it
with q Republican three years ago, but
there was controversy as to who sbould
have the place, In which certain States di-
rectly interested in the Chinese question

Steamer Sunk by War Ship.

PARIS, July e.-The transatlantic steamer
Marechal Canrobert has been sunk in col
lision with the French ironclad Hoche. off
Planter. nine miles southwest of Marseilles.
There were eighty-five passengers on the
deck of the Marechal Canrobert Watching
the maneuvers, when the Hoche, which is
the flag ship of the squadron, crashed into
her side Owing to the dense smoke caused
by the firing of the guns on the war ships
the officers of the Hoche did not see tho
Msrechal Canrobert until it was too late to
avoid the disaster. Both vessels were de-
fected from their course by the tremend-
ous force of the impact and foated along
side of each other. Immediately after the
Marechal CanrObert had been detached
from the Hoche she gave lurch and dis.
appeared beneath the waves. Several OF
the passen gers of the Marechal Canrobert
were lost lt IS supposed that they were
killed by being struck by the ram OF the
Hoche when she crashed into the unfortu-
nate steamer The rest were transferred
TO another ship.
