CHICAGO, May 25.-The Herald in its
Washington special declares that
Chairman Clarkson of the Republican
national committee arrived in Wash
ington to hear what President Harri-
son and his friends have to say. 1t de-
clares that Clarkson has reached the
conclusion that Mr.. Harrison cannot
be reelected and would like to have
Alger of Michigan nominated, but
confesses that it is impossible and in
his dilemma is figuring on Blaine for
the head of the ticket and Rusk, Alli-
son or Lincoln for second place.
The correspondent declares that If
Harrison be renominated Clarkson and
more than half the national Republi-
can committee will resign at once and
the present leaders in New York,
Pennsylvania, Virginia, Missouri and
Minnesota, the Foraker men In Ohio
and the anti-Cullomites in Illinois will
drop out of political life.
The Times Washington dispatch do
clares that Blaine went to New York
to escape Clarkson and adds:
The Harrison men have become greatly
alarmed over their candidates position,
and they have good cause The combina-
lion Wnlcn Is at work against MT.

in the field for or against oan-
didate since the Grant campaign Of

Ter, Fassett, Quay, Stewart of Nevada,
Cameron, Hobart, Tom Reed and two

OMAHA, Neb., May 25.-The commit
tee on state of the church of the Meth

prepared two reports upon the amuse-
ment question. The majority is op-
posed to the effort that has been made
to secure a more loose and lib
eral construction of the rules
concerning dancing, theater GO

idea of having a general statement
upon the amusement question, COM
manding all members of the church to
refrain from unbecoming, frivolous
and unchristian conduct leaving each
individual to be to some extent his
