Librarian Kelso, public library
Among the most enthusiastic admirers
of the public library are the tourists So
journing here for the winter. They
come to the library every day to look
over the eastern papers and to read the
current magazines. Many high en-
comiums have been passed on the IL
brary as free institution by observant
and intelligent strangers from the east.
Manager Harry Watt-The class of
attractions coming to the coast this sea-
son rank higher, in point of merit, than
we have been getting for years. Mana
gers are realizing that the people of the
Pacific coast will not patronize second
class shows or No. 2 companies, while
they will pack the theaters for sterling
attractions.
Ismael Durazo, Mexican restaurant
eur-There are more tourists coming to
Los Angeles this winter than in any
previous winter. I Judge by the num-
Der of tourists who come for Mexican
dinners, and who come to sample their

A Few Interesting Developments Ex-
pected This Week.
WAsHINsToN, Feb. 1.-THE programme
in the senate for this week includes at
least one measure OF popular interest,
namely, the Paddock bill to prevent the
adulteration and misbranding of food
and drugs. 1t will be called up imme-
diately after action on the printing bill.
The Idaho senatorial contest is also on
the docket, and Senator Pamler may
speak on his bill proposing the election
OF senators by the people.
In the house the worlds fair investi-
CATION resolution and other COM
mittee reports are likely to come up,
but the most interesting feature
of the week probably will be found
in the proceedings of the house coinage
committee, which has made an order
that discussions shall close and voting
begin at IL o'clock Wednesday, on the
Bland free coinage silver bill. Since
the order was made, Bland has intro
duced substitute for the bill named in
the committee order, and Wednesdays
session may be exhausted before the
committee reaches final vote on, the
question of reporting free coinage bill
to the house. In this event, an ad-
journment until the following day is not
unlikely, as it can be positively stated
to be the intention OF the committee
to make its report to the house at an
early day.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-The following
letter explains itself:
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6, 1892.
HON. J. G. CLARKsoN, Chairman Republican
National Committee:
MY DEAR SIR: l am not candidate
for the presidency and my name will
not 60 before the Republican national
convention for nomination. Imake this
announcement in due season. To those
who have rendered me their support
give sincere thanks, and am most CRATE.
full for their confidence. They will, /
am sure, make an earnest effort in the
approaching contest, which is rendered
specially importantb by reason of the in
dustrial and financial policies OF the
government being at stake.
Popular decision in these issues is of
great moment and will be of far-reach-
ing consequence.
Very sincerely yours,
JAMES u. DLAINE.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE Herald to-
morrow will say, referring to Blaine's
letter, that it eliminates from the po-
litical campaign very important ele-
ment that the Republicans have lost
their strongest man and the Democrats
shrewdest opponent has retired. The
Democrats, says the Heaald, have a large
number of men who certainly can run
against Harrison.
The Tribune says the an
nouncement will cause sorrow
and disappointment to thousands of
Republicans. Certainly that foremost
citizen of the country will not be the
next president, and the presumption
that he will never secure that great Of
fee, says the Tribune, cannot fail to
affiict multitude of his fellow-citizens
with keen sense of personal grief. The
Tribune says further Blaine had per-
feet right to allow his name to be used
in connection with the presidency while
holding the Office of secretary of state,
and Harrison and he had no misunder-
standing on the subject.

STARTLING STATEMENT.
NEW York, Feb. S.-The World has
the following: One of the scrub women
at the Hotel Royal made startling
statement to a World reporter last
night. She said at O'Clock in the
morning, when she left the hotel to 60
across the street to sleep, Engineer
Harding was drunk. She saw him
stagger, she said, and others told her
1Av hn tr,At
of liquor earlier in the night. Night
repeated to him. He said Harding was
a steady man and sober on Saturday
night.
The chef of the house said Yesterday
one OF his cooks may have left a grease
pot on the stove, and that it boiled over;
the burning fat, in that event, could
have set fire to the floor and wall, or
blazed up to the ceiling. The fire may
have started in this way.
Engineer Harding is positive that his
fGrnace and boiler were in good order
and that no burning Goals escaped. The
boiler blew up an hour and half after
the fire broke out.
1t was common gossip in the servants
dormitory at No. 695 Sixth avenue, that
Night Clerk Underwood was asleep at
the time of the fire. The scrub women
said he was generally asleep at that
hour in the morning. No one could be
found to verify this report.

ports, the coroner's list and the World

The Nebraska Usurper Yields the Office
to the Rightful Governor.

The Nebraska Usurper Yields the Office
to the Rightful Governor.
LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 1.-THE State
Journal will contain the following to-
morrow:
The Nebraska gubernatorial muddle
is settled ior the present at least. The
attorneys of Governor Thayer are not
certain, they say, that the office can
legally be turned over to Governor Boyd
before the official mandate is received,
but Thayer wishes to leave the state
this week, and has been so much an
noyed by the clamor OF Boyd's friends
that he has determined to surrender the
seat Immediately if Boyd is willing to
take the responsibility of holding the
official papers. Mr.. Thayer's letter
rendering the Office to Mr.. Boyd was
made public this evening, as follows
STATE NEBRASKA, EXECUTIVE DEPT.,l
LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 6, 1892.
Gov. James e. Boyd, Omaha, Neb
SIR: When commenced proceedings
a year ago to test your title to the Office
of governor, / did SO in the belief that
there was great doubt in the public
mind as to your citizenship and eligi-
bility. 1 then took occasion to pub
licly say that as soon as your citizen
ship was established by the courts l
would gladly surrender the Office to you.
The contest was not one of personal strife
nor to satisfy any ambition of my own,
but to comply with and uphold the con-
stitution of the state. Now that the
public press has announced that the
highest tribunal has declared under the
constitution and laws OF our country
and state your right to the Office of gov
ernor, yield the Office to you without
awaiting the mandate of the court. As
l am about to leave the state Con Mon
day) to be absent some weeks, it would
be most convenient for me to turn over
the Office to you at 2 O'Clock p. m. on
that day (Monday) if it is your pleasure
to accept the same at that time.
Very respectfully,
JOHN M. THAYER.
OMAHA, Feb. THE letter from Gov
ernor Thayer, quoted in the Lincoln
dispatch, was handed General Boyd by
a reporter, who asked if the governor
had anything to say. The governor
positively declined to be interviewed,
saying simply he would go at once to
Lincoln and take charge of the Office.
Charles Ogden, chairman of the Demo-
cratic state committee, will accompany
the governor. There will be no demon
stration, but on February 18th general
reception will be rendered Gen. Boyd by
the Democratic organizations of the
state
