MARIE MEANS BUSHES s.
Mr. Blaine Must Retract or She
Will Print Letters.

CHICAGO, March 3.-Some pungent
utterances were given voice here today
by Mrs. Marie Nevins Blaine in relation
to the open letter she wrote the secre-
tary of state. Mrs. Blaine was in Chi
cago, EN- route to New York, accom-
panied by her little son, James q. She
was pale, but stated that, except for the
nervous strain of the events of the past
year, her health was good. Regarding
her letter Mrs. Blaine said:
II allowed Mr.. Blaine ten days in
which to tell the whole truth about the
treatment given me by his family, and
to retract the statement that it was I
and not his son who had done the court
ing before our marriage. Mr.. Blaine
gave to the public garbled extracts from
my letters to his son. These convey an
untruthful. unjust idea respecting me.
If Mr.. Blaine does not within ten days
publish the full text of my letters, will
give to the public letters which his son
wrote to me before our marriage, and
which will prove conclusively who it
was that was the wooer.
"Great as Secretary Blaine Is, he can
not and will not be allowed TO asperse
my character with impunity and without
rejoinder on my part. If he persists In
his attacks Oh me, will teach him to
regret it. He sets up his love for his
grandson as an excuse for an attempt to
besmirch me. love that child as my
sou quite as much as Mr.. Blaine can
love him as a grandson, and for that
reason it is my duty to see that his
mother does not rest under a false
charge unanswered"

lock off. The middle door was secured
with paddock. This was probably
broken with sledge. The inside vault
contained one burglar-proof combina-
ton lock, and also steel safe with
time lock. These were drilled and
charged. it is thought. with dynamite.
The doors OF two safes were blown
completely open, wrecking both, and
leaving nothing but shell of
each. The concussion shattered the
wooden shelves inside the vault and
scattered the contents of the safes and
shelving about the floor. There was no
one sleeping in the bank. The discovery
was made by one of the employees on
opening the bank this morning.
Among other securities taken was
private deposit of $4,000 worth of Phila-
delphia d Reading income bonds, whose
numbers were as follows: SIS to 500
inclusive, also 1714 to 1926 and 1888 and
1874. These were not registered. A
slx-ounce bottle was found in the bank
with an ounce of liquid remaining in it.
This is supposed to be nitro-glycerine
used by the cracksmen. Some tools,
consisting of punches and chisels, with
the sawed-otf handle of sledge, were
left in the bank. Two suspicious looking
men were seen near the rear entrance of
the bank last evening. They are missing.
The bank officers offer 5000 reward
and the sheriff $500 additional for the
apprehension and conviction of the
thieves. 1t is the most daring robbery
that has ever been committed in this
city. The thieves gained entrance to
the bank building by prying open an
outside window. 1t is learned that there
were two explosions heard by people
living short distance from the bank.
This took place between 2:3O and 8
O'Clock a. m. There was a number of
special deposits IN the vault consisting
of watches and diamonds valued at
about $1,000. About $500 in gold that
was badly mutilated and bent out of
shape and also quantity of silverware
were left by the robbers.

MIR. Cleveland May Withdraw
and Kill the Syracuse
Meeting.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. March 8. =
Throughout Indiana today the Repub-
lican district conventions were held to
select delegates TO the Minneapolis con-
vention. In every district Harrison
| delegations were chosen, and instruc-
tiOns for the denomination of the presi-
dent were given. In the Twelfth (Fort
Wayne), the Allen county delegates left
the convention and adopted resolutions
repudiating its action.
The Harrison Republicans are in high
tory which the results give them.
Chairman Gowdy and Secretary MILL
gan were surrounded by crowd of
admiring friends, and congratulations
were as earnest as though vic
tory had been won in battle
with the enemies of the princi-
pies of their party, instead Of
over faction of Republicans. In every
district they have not only secured the
avowed friends of the president as dele
gates, but have succeeded in having the
delegates instructed in resolutions in
dorsing the administration, and pledging
them to vote for Harrison'S renomina-
ton.
A Esolt at Auburn.
FORT WAYNE, Ind, March s. A
bitter fight was made in the Twelfth
congressional convention that met at
Auburn today, which finally resulted in
the withdrawal of the delegation from
Allen county, which is much the largest
county IN the district. The main con-
test was over the method of ap-
porIionment adopted by the state
central committee for the constitution
of the convention. A resolution recit-
ing the,fact that this apportionment
deprived 1000 Republicans of Allen
county of voice in the convention was
offered, but the ultra Harrison men
voted to lay it on the table. A protest
was then offered by Allen county
against the basis of representation and
the results reached under it, and upon
the refusal of the convention to treat it
respectfully, the delegation from tina t
county withdrew from the convention,
giving notice that the protest would be
carried up to the convention in Mime
apolis. and to the polls in November.
GREENsBURG, Ind, March 3.-The
Republican congressional convention of
the Fourth district was held here today.
Capt. Samuel M. Jones, of Ripley
county. captul ed the convention, which
was the largest congressional conven-
ton ever held in this district, by fine
speech, and he was nominated by accla-
nation. The nominee is veteran of
the Mexican and late war, an able law
yer and forcble speaker. Representa-
tive Holman will likely be the Demo
cratic nominee against him. Claud
Cambern, of Rush, and George M. Rob-
erts, of Dearborn, were elected dele
gates to the Minneapolis convention,
and were instructed for Harrison.

NEW YORK, March 3.-The Times
Washington special states that Senator
Hill is quietly engaged these days in
striving for delegates to the national
convention through men who have been
recommended to him as most likely to
advance his interest. Yesterday Will
lam q. Thompson, of Detroit, who has

long conference with Mr.. Hill. Mr..
Thompson departed last night presume
bly, on a still hunt among the Demo-
cratic Wolverines for Hill men.
A Washington correspondent, who
yesterday talked with Senator Hill,
telegraphs his paper thus: Asked what,
in his opinion, could account for the de-
feat of the Democrats all along the line
in state which had recently elected a
Democratic governor, Mr.. Hill said:
That was purely local fight, family
row, so to speak. Both Mr.. Robinson
and his opponent, Mr.. Collins, were
warm personal and political friends of
mine. There is no political significance
in the defeat of the Democrats-it has
only local political significance"

Frenzel to Be Placed in Control
Again.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March Sit is
probable that tomorrow the street rail-
road property will pass back into the
hands of the company, leaving Pres
ident Frenzel in full control.
This will bring about curious
state of affairs. AS the strike was de-
clared off only pending the receivership
the men would naturally be on strike.
Furtherm ore, they were discharged by
President Frenzel, and he declines to
say what his action will be about re-
employing them. In the meantime the
men have surrendered to Receiver
Steele the badges emitting them to free
rides at the request of the court.
Judge Taylor will announce his de-
cision in the contempt case against
President Frenzel at 9 o'clock tomorrow
morning. The prevailing opinion is
that FrenZel will be acquitted. His APP
peal bond will then be accepted, aud
this will Immediately place the property
in President FrenZel's hands pending
the decision upon the appeal. The en-
ployes hold meeting beginning at l

SPRINGER VERY ILL.
Hopes of His Recovery Not Yet
Abandoned.

Abandoned.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-At midnight
the condition of Cong ressman Springer
is unchanged, If indeed, there is not a
slight Improvements. That he is
no worse is sufficient to give
renewed hope to his friends, as the nat
ure of his malady is such that every
hour he succeeds In battling away death
means that he, and not the disease. is
the gamer. II am no worse tonight"
said the sick man, land l believe / am
going to get fresh hold. If can just
keep down this cough, which is sitting
me, / am all right"
Just at this moment there was re.
currence of a fit of deep, nervous cough
ing which convulsed his frame in agony.
This peculiar and singularly dangerous
cough is INDUCED, the physicians say,
by the condition of his brain rather
than an affection of the lungs,
as the erysipelas of the face
and head, while It has possibly
not yet penetrated to the brain, has GER
OF that organ. 1t is the belief Of the
physicians that if no change for. the
worse takes place before tomorrow
noon, there will be reason to hope for
his recovery.
Inability to sleep and the nervous
desire of the patient to talk to anyone
within reach was regarded as but indi-
cations of the harrassed and restless con-
dition of his brain. and the physicians
now find in this inability to take repose
the greatest menace to his life. So long
the sick man converses as he persists in
doing with those at his bedside, he is
perfectly conscious and coherent,
altho ugh painful in his speech, but as
soon as the conversation dies out or he
is enjoiDed to silence, he rapidly drifts
into delirlum and talks at random Of
pending legislation in the house.

DREADED PUNISHMENT.
An Embedding Bank President
Blows His Brains Out.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, March Sat 1:30
today j. Collins, president of the Cali
fornia National bank, who has been
under arrest for ten days on charge of
embezzling $1,000 of the defunct
banks funds, committed suicide by
shooting himself. He had been unable
to furnish. ethe required bail, and had
been confined to his room in the Brew
ster hotel in charge of deputy. Today
orders came to District Attorney Jones
to take Collins to Los Angeles for trial.
Upon receipt of this news Collins eX-
cused himself AMI went to the bath
room, where he placed the muzzle of the
revolver in his mouth and fired the fatal
shot.
About two years ago Collins entire
family were drowned in the bay, and
now that he is financially ruined, and
with a charge of embeZzlement hanging
over him, it is thought he was brought
to point where he considered that he
had nothing to live for. The California
National bank closed its doors Nov. II.
1t was considered one of the strongest
institutions financially in Southern Cali
fornia. 1t had paid-up capital of $780,
600, and a surplus of 100000. The of.
ficers of the bank claimed the Suspen-
sion was due to shrinkage in deposits
and temporary inability to release Its
notes and accounts.

FORCING BLAINE.
Recent Letters Credited With
Interior Objects.

NEW YORK, March 3.-According to
the World there is movement on foot
looking to the nomination of Mr.. Blaine
at Minneapolis despite the letter he has
written. Some of the most prominent
Republicans in the country are enlisted
in it, and the correspondence on the
subject shows that the desire for Mr..
Biaine's leadership is still widespread
in the party. There is the highest au
thority for saying that Mr.. Blaine is
well aware of the existence of this feel
ing. His old supporters have visited
him repeatedly since the publication
of his letter. Last week, one
of the most influential and expert
enced of the Republican senators
called on Mr.. Blaine, and told him
frankly that the party ought to nomi-
nate him at Minneapolis, and thereby
draft him into their service. Mr.. Blaine
made no reply, but treated his visitor
with cordiality, and pressed him to
come again. He declared during the
conversation that his physical condition
was much improved.

FRIGHTENED KANSANS.
Catholic Activity Sure Sign of
Danger.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 8. AT to-
days session of the annual Methodist
conference Of the Kansas district the
report of the committee on the state of
the country was presented and adopted.
The report made distinct attack up on
the Roman Catholic church. In the
preamble this passage occurred:
The Kansas conference OF the Metho-
dist church has long observed the insid-
ious encroachment of the Roman Catho-
lie hierarchy in the direction OF public
affairs, the dread of the so-called Catho-
lie vote with which it was attempted to
inspire time-serving politicians, the
malevolent influences of its active lobby
ing in national, state and municipal leg
islation, and the large sums of public
money it has secured for its schools,
greatly isproportionate to the number
of it's membership among the people,
and wholly unwarranted by the educa-
tionaI results these schools have accom-
plished.
The resolutions scored the house of
representatives for its action in regard
to the Carlisle Pa.) Indian school and
Capt. r. II. Pratt, manager of the
school. They commended the school, it's
work and Capt. Pratt.

IOWA LICENSE LAW.
Republicans to Join Democrats in
Passing 1t.

DIES MONIES, To-. March 3.-The pro-
hibition question came up again today
in tue senate, in the consideration of
the Catch bill, providing for county
local option. In presenting it, Senator
Catch went against the wishes of all but
one of his Republican colleagues. Sena-
tor Brewer being the only one who will
vote with Catch and the Democrats on
the question of final passage. People
who are in position to know say there
are enough votes in the house to pass
the bill if it goes through the senate, so
the prospects for license law are good.
Catch, Brewer and other senators
spoke. No vote was reached.
The state temperance alliance today.
after a stormy session, passed a resoln-
ton declaring that If the Catch bill
becomes a law the alliance will call a
convention to take Independent political
action. An attempt to denounce Catch
personally was voted down. A reSolu-
ton was also passed declaring it dan
gerous to send children to colleges
located where liquor is sold.

RICHTER ON THE STAND.
A Valuable Witness in the Case
Against Baker.

A Valuable Witness in the Case
Against Baker.
ASHLAND, Wis, March 3.-Tbe sew
ehteenth day of the Baker trial is past,
and, from present appearances, the half
is Just about finished. Quite number
of witnesses were sworn today, most of
them on minor matters. Amos Baum, a
Watertown banker, swore his safe had
been opened when no one knew the
combination. j. f. Ryan was an i'm
portant witness. He testified that Baker
and friend were in saloon several
evenings before the robbery, and Baker
had big roll of bills. which he FLASHED"
a number of times. This evidence
is corroborative of considerable other
testimony that has been submitted
showing that Baker had plenty
of money before the robbery took place.
DIR. Charles Richter, a Hurley dentist,
was next called, aud was kept on the
stand number of hours, he not being
through when court adjourned for the
evening. Richter is one of the men who
claims to have been with Perrin OH the
night of the robbery at the theater. On
crOss-eXamination it was brought out
that Richter was not with Perrin at the
theater until after the ROBBERY nau Oc-
Cured. He said he drove from Hurley
to Gle with a young lady. When asked
if he knew the name and present abode
Of the girl, he was compelled to answer
no. The states attorney then put
pointed question to him. 1t was. Ibid
you not drive the man to Gle who
robbed the Iron Exchange bank %
This came as a staggerer, but was an
swered with a blunt NO" Richter
next testified that he and Perrin, few
days after the robbery, went to New
London, PERKINS, home, on a fishing ex-
cursion, taking a couple of satchels with
them. From the way the states at
torney started out on Richter. it looks as
though, before they are through with
him, he would prove a valuable witness
for instead of against them, and some
startling developments are looked for
tomorrow.
