MARIE BLAINE STILL DEFIANT.

She Says She Will Not Allow Her Father
in-Law to Besmirch Her Character.
CHICAGO, March 8.-Some sentiments were
given voice here to-day by Mrs. Mary Nevins
Blaine, In relation to the open letter she
wrote the Secretary of State. Mrs. Blaine
was in Chicago en- route to New York. Mrs.
Blaine said: 81 allowed MI. Blaine ten days
in which to tell the whole truth about the
treatment given me by his family and to re-
tract the statement that it was I, and not
his son, who had done the counting before
our marriage. Mr.. Blaine gave to the pub
lie garbled extracts from letters to his son.
They convey an untruthful, unjust idea re-
specting me. If Mr.. Blaine does not within
ten days publish the full text Of my letters,
/ will give the public letters which will
prove conclusively who it was that was the
wooer
"Great as Secretary Blaine is he cannot
and will not be allowed to asperse my char
acter with impunity, and without rejoinder
on my part. If he persists in his attacks on
me will teach him to regret it. He set up
his love for his grandson as an excuse for
an attempt to besmirch me. l love that
child as my son quite as much as Mr.. Blaine
can love him as grandson, and for that
rea- on it is my duty TO see that his mother
does not rest under q false charge un-
answered"

A STRIKE AG.HsH CHE PURL1o.s


The coming strife Eotcoal miners in
England is not alone remarkable for the
immense amount of labor which will be
affected-it is important as marking a
new departure in tha tactics of organized
labor. The threatened strike is directed
not against the employers in particular,
but against the whole coal-using COM
munity; for its object is rather to secure
an increase in the price of coal,
which will enable the employers
to maintain existing wages, than
an attempt to enforce their con-
tinuance under existing rates. That
there will be much less public SYM
patty with the strikers than usual is to
be expected from the fact that this is, as it
were, strike confessedly directed against
the people. The most curious feature of the
case is, that in spite of the immense in
crease of prices consequent on the threat
of the strike, employers have not yet con-
sented to grant the demands of labor, but
have on the other hand issued statements
that no strikers will be taken ba ok to
work except at reduction of wages.
TIL nse features of the movement, and the
pertinacity with which it is to be pushed,
will evoke even greater amount of inter-
est than is usual in strike of such magni-

Kansas Methodists Denouncs Congress for
Its Treatment Of the Carlisle School
KANSAS CITY, March AT to-day's session
of the annual Methodist Conference of the
Kansas district the report of the Committee
on State of the Country was presented and
adopted. The report made distinct attack
upon the Roman Catholic Church. The pre-
amble said:
"The Kansas Conference of the Methodist
Church has long observed the insidious en-
croachment of tho Roman Catholic hier-
archy in the direction of public affairs, the
dread of the so-called Catholic vote with
which it was attempted to inspire time
serving politicians, the malevolent influ-
ences of its active lobbying in national,
State and municipal legislation, and the
large sums Of public money 1t has secured
for its schools. greatly disproportionate to
the membership among its people, and
wholly unwarranted by the educational re-
suits their schools have accomplished"
The resolutions scored the House OF Rep
resentatives for its action in regard to the
Carlisle, Pa, Indian School and Captain
Pratt manager of the school. They COM
mended the school, its work and Captain
Pratt.

GOOD AND EVIL IN PAPERS.
No Line Should Be Drawn Between thu
Secular and the Religious


Secular and the Religious
New York sun.l
The Rev. DR.. Rvlance, in his sermon of last
Sunday in st. Marks Church, on 'The Good
and Evil in Newspapers" said that "some Of
our secular journals are larger hearted,
more generous in spirit, more just in judg,
ment, more active in true charity, and moro
truly Christian than most Of our so-called
religious newspapers" This is q broad
and notable remark; but the preacher
ought not thus to have drawn a
line between secular and religious
journalism, or put them in separate
camps. The Sun, for example, is religious
as well as a secular journal; it deals with the
interests Of mems spirits as well as with the
affairs of this life and the motions of the
world; it seeks the moral as well as the ma
terial welfare of mankind; it aims to pro-
claim the truth in all the spheres of thought.
No lesser mission chan this is worthy of
paper that possesses the opportunity Of In.
fluencing the course OF human thought and
action.
We affirm that is improper to put all
papers into two separate camps. the relig-
ious camp and the secular camp. A paper
may be both secular and religious. 1t is to
be assumed that, in speaking Of religious
papers. the preacher referred to the papers
many of these papers are deserving of the
criticism which he applied to "most of

A DEAL TOO MUCH,

Yesterdays proceedings before Attor-
ney General Hensel, in the discussion OF
the Reading Deal, threw no new light on
the question. The occasion was mainly
remarkable for Mr.. Johnson's indulgence
in ill-advised sarcasm, directed at bis op-
ponents in general, and his enunciation of
specious arguments in support of bis
clients position, which should not deceive
anyone as to the true facts of the case.
This is essentially matter for the Attor-
ney General to deal with, for there would
be but very slim chance of success for any
private citizen who should accept Mr..
Johnson's advice and seek his remedy in
the courts. Law can be made very ex-
pensive, and the monopolists would see to
it that their capital made it so in such
case.
The question is not as to whether the
violation of the Constitution has been per-
mitted in similar cases In the past, but
whether violation is attempted now,
and, if so, whether it shall 60 unopposed.
Every monopoly hitherto instituted has
made its profits at the public expense, and
there is no reason to suppose that this is
an exception to the rule. The miner from
Hazelton, who claimed torepresent mass
of working people, knew wherein their in
terests lay, and in this case the interests
of the laborers are those of the public, for
restricted output would injure both
alike.
The matter is now in Attorney General
Hensel's hands, and there can be little
doubt, that fair consideration of the
points at issue will convince him, that it
is his duty to proceed against the combi-
nation, and to spare no effort for the vim
dication of justice.

NEW YORK, March S.-[SpecidL1 - The
Savannah line steamship, City Of Birming-
ham, arrived here to-day. Her master, Cap
tain Charles s. Burg, told how he saved the
Akaba. Captain Burg resorted to the old
trick of drafting line to the Akaba. The
overjoyed men ION the Akaba fshed up the
buoy and got the line, to which the men on
the Savannah steamship bent a finch
hawser; after this had been grasped by the
Akaba's crew. and hauled in few feet, an.
11-inch manila hawser was bent to it on the
City of Birmingham. Another line was
drifted down to the Akaba, and the steel
hawser of the Akaba was hauled aboard the
Yankee steamship.
The MANILA hawser parted when the
Akaba had 10 fathoms under her, and the
strain fell on the steel cable. The cable was
fast to seven pairs of heavy wrought iron
bits on the deck of the Savannah steam
ship. 1t did not break, but the bits were
twisted from the deck and q big section of
the City OF Birmingham's bulwarks was
carried away. Again q line was drifted
down to the Akaba, and the plucky Ameri-
cans succeeded, slowly and 1aboriously, in
towing their British friends 40 miles to sea-
The weather moderated and the seas SUBJ

pany's tugs Underwater and Taurus. which

PARIS, March Sat opening session Of the
Chamber Of Deputies to-day. Prime Minister
Loubet and the other members Of the new
Cabinet entered the Chamber and took their
seats. n. Loubet immediately afterward
assembled the tribune and read the declara-
tion of Ministerial policy. He referred to
the difficulties OF the tasks of the Ministry.
and said they relied upon the clearness ofthe
declaration to enable the Chamber to say at
the outset whether the Ministry were to
expect the confidence of the House. The
primary object Of the Ministerial policy. he
said, was the defense of ali the laws Of the
Republic, especially the laws relative to
military patriotism. equality and education.
which we're the source of all national spirit
and the fundamental guarantee Of liberty OF
conscience.
"The.relations now existing in France be-
tween Church and State have given rise, M
Loubet ontinued, "to many incidents and
to varied discussions. These have involved
obscure the underlying principles. We have
not light enough. as yet, on the principles
involved, to guide US in this matter; but Is it
not our duty TO consider whether we are
not called upon to prepare the way for the
separation Of Church and State, even though
we may not believe that there exists in the
country majority favorable to the carry

Of course, to be our duty to maintain firmly
the existing legislation based upon the Con.
cordat. which we shall apply in tho true
spirit of its requirements. The Concordat
assures the position and rights Of the
clergy. At the came time, 1t imposes on
them whatever their rank may be, certain
strict obligations. They not only owe
obed ence to the national laws, but are
bound to confine themselves to their
ministry and to keep aloof from party
struggles-and discussions. We shall un-
hesitatingly require from oil the observance
of these obligations, and we believe that we
are armed with sufficient power to enforce
such Observance"
After the declaration was read, the Gov
eminent, replying to question, denied that
there was any engagement between the
Government and the Pope. The debate on
this subject was continued to great length,
and finally motion approving the Govern
ment's attitude on the clerical question was
carried by a vote of 34l to 81 The Ministerial
statement has been received coolly by the
public, and it is regarded as poor compost
tion. 1t pleases nobody. 1t is regarded as
leaving the clerical question in status quo

The Lenten quietness had slight varia-

In other words, It was . comparatively

large connection. The ceremony took

exquisite silver adianthum fern. Yards

knotted- round the stems, little clusters Of
the violets being fastened in it. until there
were almost as many violets out of the
bunch as in il. The groom's boutonniere
was composed of perle rose and bud and
was also very pretty.

WASHINGTON, March 3--The Latin-Ameri-

commissioner in Chile, in the interest of the
Exposition, information by cable that the
Chilean congress adjourned without taking
any action in regard to an appropriation for
the representation Of that country at Chi

1t is, however, considered probable that
when Congress meets again and the action

exhibition which is being prepared, the Re-
public OF Chile will take favorable action
toward securing good display. Many in
