The great secretary is at this moment

Webster and Pitt of past day. lt has
made him the almost certain candidate OF
his party for the Presidency.
The only question. of course, Is as TO
Mr.. Blaiue's health, and this is now better
than for some years. The attacks of stom-
ach trouble from which he has been suf-
ferer, and of which so much Democratic
capital has been made, have been the re-
suit of carelessness and overwork. Indeed,
the amount of business which Mr.. Blaine
has recently transacted, and the mental
strain to which he has been subjected are
not such as an invalid could bear so well.

rived in hot haste from Washington, in
part co bring the pressure OF the national
committee TO bear on the recusant Demo-
Gratis and in part TO demonstrate with
Hill, so it said, upon his reckless course
German didn't object seriously TO the un-
fair acts of Hill so much as TO the lack of
wisdom in giving the Cleveland men so
good an excuse to carry contesting dele
cation TO Chicago.

been living at 245 Pleasant street in this
city. Four days ago the son arrived from

painter. In the quarrel which resulted in

going away, and, TO be certain of his de-
parture, they went to the Fall River pier.
James, Jr., came upon his father unex-
peotedly, and five shots rang out in quick
succession. Officers Barry and Lenahan
placed the young man under arrest, then
followed the father, who fell fainting on
the pier. Only one bullet lodged in the

STEVENS AND GRAVES
What the ex-District Attorney Says
of the Stay.
SUPERSEDEAS NOT UNUSUAL
And Not Of Great signihcance-He Doesn't
Believe Graves VIII Get New Trial
The Case VIII Not Hang Fire, but be
Decided In u short Time.

Ex.District Attorney Stevens of Denver
was met by NEWS representative in the
corridor of the Narragansett this fore
noon. He is quite young, much younger
than one would have supposed, and very
pleasant in conversation.
Mr.. Stevens said that he was here purely
on visit aud would 90 away tomorrow.
His term as district attorney having ex-
pired he was obliged TO come East on busi-
ness and stopped here before leaving. He
said Mr.. Conrad had gone TO Montreal and
would probably return to Montana soon.
In regard to the latest phase of the
Graves case Mr.. Stevens said that a super
sedeas was always granted because the
court could not examine the papers at
once. DIR. Graves could not he admitted
to bail unless a new trial was granted.
The same steps were taken in the last two
murder trials which be conducted. The
correspondents he declared did not state
the facts fairly when they sent out state
ments that the granting of a supersedeas
in the case was anything unusual He
also said that District Attorney Steele s
statements in regard TO the case had been
misrepresented. He did not believe a
new trial would be granted.
Mr. Stevens said that Lawyer Lafe
Pence would not come to Providence, but
was In Chicago where he had business TO
transact Mr.. Stevens also stated that he
had nothing whatever to do with the
will contest or any of Mr.. Conrad's pri-
vate business.
AS to the statement that the Graves case
might go over for three or four years, Mr..
Stevens said that it would be settled in as
many months, if not sooner. The trial
was a fair one, he said, and if conviction
could not be obtained In the case il would
be next to impossible to convict a man of
murder in Colorado, and the State would
be crowded with criminals.
