ply that no such package had been re-
ceived. The same reply was received
from the consignee, and an ~investiga-

4aTt5HEEEE
Browns VALLEY, Mimi, April g.
Ever since the arrival Of the infantry .
week ago there has been no effort made,
by the Indian police to guard the Dor
der, and the soldiers remain close In
camp yet. The chances to get on the
reservation during this time have been
good, and hundreds Of land seekers
have gone to look at land tho past few
days, some starting before daylight and
returning after dark. and others going
cut openly during the day. The two
troops of cavalry are .calnped near the
main road to the reservation, and FRI
day the guard, noticing the unusual
amount of travel in that direction. noti-
fed the officer in command and troops
were Immediately ordered to follow and
bring them back: Some Of the teams
were overhauled two miles out and re-
turned. The town is filling up rapidly
with prospectors and homesteaders and
the rush is well commenced. Hun

file down the hillside into the valley and
find camping places along the river.
The greatest excitement has been caused
among land agents here over the plans
which land officials are said to have de-
cided upon in receiving filings. AS or
dinarily conducted, it will take several
minutes for each, filing the name and
time and description of. land and the
checking it off on maps being the pro
gramme. The scheme now unearthed
is to take the name and hour Of fling,
paying no attention to the description
of the land, but checking this up after
office hours. In this way thousands
could be filed in an afternoon; to file
the other way but a few hundred at the
most could make an entry. The most
positive information has been wired to
the Watertown officials from Washing
ton that filings accepted in any but the
regular way will not be recognized by
the department and will be rejected.
This is the last peg on which Water
town hing it's hopes, and it has been
knocked from under it.

PTTTsBURa, April 9.-The Times
prints the following from q staff CORES
pondent at Washington:
# any answer had been needed to the
anonymous story that Secretary Blaine
was complaining that he had been
badgered and bounded by friends Of
President Harrison into writing his
celebrated letter declining to b q cam
didate for president, Mr.. Blaine himself
now answers it. In the course Of : con-
versation with q representative Of The
Times and one Of the leading physicians
of the country, one who has occasion
ally attended the secretary, the physi-
Dian remarked:
II see some of the newspapers continue
to connect your name with the presidency,
Mr.. Secretary y. !"
Promptly, as, one answers a question
upon which he has been celebrating
Mr.. Blaine responded:
"The presidents office is a most labo-
rious and exhaustive one. He has no
voice, no alternate, no substitute upon
whose shoulders he can share responsible
ity. There is a vice president, but our
scheme of government does not permit
him to assume the powers and duties of
the president, except in case of death, re-
moval, resignation or disability of the
president. 1t does not contemplate the
vice president as an occasional acting
president for a day or two, or a week or
two, when the man who has been elected
to that office may need rest and recrea-
ton. sSThe presidency is an office without
sleep. l am now 90 years old, and al
though you have told me and I believe
that in heart, lungs and kidneys and
otherwise / am free from organic diseases,
suffering only from torpidity of the liver,
I do not believe that if l were to be in
a%ugurated l would not live out my term.
If l were assured, therefore, of a nominal
ton and election to the presidency I could
not accept it. At my age and with my
temperament. and knowing what the ef-
feet of a life of exhausting labor has been
upon my vitality, it would be construc-
tive suicide"
The secretary spoke with the emphasis
of perfect candor and with an apparent
desire to make himself definitely UNDER
stood.
