coal-heayer who has been honorably dis
charged shall, if he re-enlists for four

bill that all persons enlisting for con-
tinI1ous service must be able-bodied men.

Some Remarks by General Mitchell.

AUGUSTA, February SIN the annual
report of Adjutant General Sprague, the
former brigade commander, General Fl.
L. Mitchell, urges the desirability of
maintaining three full regiments Of in
fantry as authorized by law. He says:
''The argument that have heard ad-
vanced by mean who have been honored
by the state, i. e., that the state did not
send any officer higher than a colonel or
command larger than a regiment out of
the state during the war of 1851 to 1865,
therefore the state does not need to MAIN
tain an organization larger than regi-
ment, is absurd and is not presented to
advance the best interest of the service,
but to advance personal interests.

FROM THE WINDY CITY.
Chicago Comments on the Letter and Its
Effects.


CHICAGO, February s. The Herald
this morning says editorially: "The
popular conception of James G. Blaine's
character will manifest itself today in
the question which will be very generally
propounded, ''Doesh mean what he says
in his letter to Mr.. Clarkson?' 1t will be
very difficult to convince the conscien-
tious throng that has followed SO long
his devious path that his latest express
sion means what the words imply. The
Clarkson letter comes too late to be re-
garded as spontaneous and wholly sim
cere."
The Tribune says: s'The announce
ment is definite and unequivocal, and
those who believe in Mr.. Blaine suffi-
GENTLY to wish he might be candidate,
will accept his words as final. His wise
supporters will accept his letter as hav-
ing been written without reserve, and
they will not impute insincerity to him,
because he has never yet learned how to
be ungracious."
The Inter-Ocean says: SIT is not i'm
probable that Mr.. Blaine has before him
many years of usefulness. His letter of
declination is by no means farewell to
public life. But it is a confirmation OF
the general opinion that his strength has
been so far impaired by hard work and
advancing age that he cannot stand the
strain and burden of the national cam
pai0n,'

Execution of McElvaine, the Murderer, at
Sing Sing Prison.

SING SING, February 9.-McElvaine.
the murderer, was executed by elect1i-
city at 11.26 today. He went to his
death calmly. Immediately after the ex-
ecution DR.. Mcdonald was interviewed
by reporter. He said the experiment
demonstrated that contacts with legs and
forehead were the best. The sounds
coming from the lips were not groans,
but were made by the reflex movements
of the chest expelling the mucus. II am
satisfied said he, "the man was dead
from the first contact and he would not
have rallied. There was no effort at
respiration The question was asked
whether there was any doubt of death be-
ing instantaneous. '.As far as conscious
ness was concerned, death was instan-
taneous. He was dead as an individual,
and after the second contact was dead as
an animate as there were no reflex move
ments after that"
Several of the witnesses were much
affected by the scenes which they de-
scribe as horrible. Assemblyman Stein
said the execution was cruel and un-
natural. 'sI shall try he declared, 'to
have the law repealed as soon as [ get
back to Albany. 1t should not be allow
ed to remain on the statute books an
other day.n

MEMPHIS, Tenn, February Sat $50
tonight, the building occupied by the
Bruse & Berne Hat Company caught
fire. The building seemed to be in a
blaze in an instant. The fire communi-
Gated to the front portion and by 10 the
firemen were forced back from the roar
ing furnace. They then directed their
efforts to save factory adjoining on the
north. At 1880, the building occupied
by the hat company collapsed and it
crushed the building of the LangstaH
Hardware Company which adjoined it at
the south. The fremen were unable to
cope with the flames and at 1910 the
Levy trunk factory was a total wreck
and Leuhrman's hotel, probably the fin
est hotel south of the Ohio river, was in
flame. Half an hour .ater, Ahe hotel was
total wreck. 1t was magnifcently
furnished. The loss to the hotel will be
100000.
The breeze changed the course of the
fire and it began to sweep eastward, the
firemen being forced back at every point
by the flames. In a short time, the Ruby
saloon and the saloon of ]. G. Mayer
were destroyed. Eastward and to the
south of where it started, the fire went
on. Lommon & Gates's wholesale dry
goods store, III. Wetter's hardware store
and William Jacks china store were de-
stroyed, and w. N. Wilerson's whole
sale drug store was next
reached. 1t was thought that this
splendid structure, with its fireproof
walls, would prove barrier to the
flames, but the fire crept in upon the
stock of infammable drugs from the side
and rear, and the building was soon blaz-
ing fiercely. Finally the wind died away
and the firemen got control after the
buildings in the block had been destroy
ed except the Bruce carriage factory and
one or two small structures. The loss
will reach S., 100000. So far as known,
at this hour, no lives were lost

WITHOUT A RIVAL IN HISTORY.
Ex-Governor Foraker on the Political
Life of Mr.. Blaine.

CINCINNATI, O., February S.-The Post
this afternoon prints an interview with
Ex-Governor Foraker ON Mr.. Blaines let
ter. Mr.. Foraker said: eMr. Blaine
will stand in history without a rival.
Twice when he was candidate for the
nomination, it was refused him. Once,
when nominated, he was defeated. Such
a record would destroy the power, infiu
ence and prestige of almost any other
man. But instead, he has constantly
grown greater, stronger and nearer to
the hearts of the people until, as the re-
suit, he had literally forced upon him
the opportunity to make an unprecedent-
ed record of twice declining a nomina-
ton which would have meant in each in
stance an election. President Harrison
does not have the hold upon the affec-
tions of the people that Mr.. Blaine en-
joys, and, in consequence, cannot have
the strength as a candidate Mr.. Blaine
would have. We would have had an
easy victory with Blaine. We may have
a hard fight, but it will be triumphant
one, with Harrison"

Four Reasons Why the Great Secretary
Has Retired.

Four Reasons Why the Great Secretary
Has Retired.
BROOKLYN, February S.-Commenting
on MI. Blaine's letter, Murat Halstead in
the Standard Union says: ''There is no
other rational view to take of this letter
than that it is sincere act of renuncia-
ton. The nomination for the presiden-
cy was again in the hand of Mr.. Blaine
and he had but to accept it with as GER
tain an assurance as candidate ever had
of election. The terms of this letter
are beyond doubt and the result will be
the same as in 1888. The candidates
who would not present themselves if
Mr.. Blaine should allow himself to be
nominated will take the field and the
unanimity that must be the necessary
condition of overriding the wish of the
great secretary for retirement will be-
come in '92 as in 'S8, impossible. The
influences decisive with Mr.. Blaine are
apparent. We place them in their order:
"One-The presidency long ago ceased
to be passion of Mr.. Blaine's. He had
his run and lost by a scratch, and felt it
not becoming for him to be a claimant
for the Office.
''Two-He appreciates the delicacy of
his health and breads the strain and wor-
nv of the campaign, and still more, the
burden of the duty and the friction and
stress of the excitement an office of the
greatest responsibility would force upon
him.

Mr., BLAINE TO COL. TAYLOR.
Utterances Which Throw Light on the
Present Announcement.

Utterances Which Throw Light on the
Present Announcement.
WASHINGTON, February S.-Fragmen-
tary and incorrect reports of a conversa-
ton some time ago between Secretary
Blaine and Colonel Vincent A. Taylor,
member of Congress from the Cleveland,
Ohio, district, which throw much light
upon the reasons for the Secretary's let
ter of withdrawal, have recently been
circulated. Colonel Taylor tonight gave
reporter an account of the converse
ton. He said: eyes, did have talk
with Nj. Blaine some two months ago on
the situation regarding the coming cam
paign. Mr.. Blaine said: L do not want
the nomination. There was time when
I did, but that time is passed. The un-
written law of parties accords to faith
full public servant denomination. I'm
less it be clearly shown that the party is
in danger of defeat in the coming cam
paign. and I, as candidate, would be a
stronger man, would have no right to
be a candidate. If it be clearly shown
me, or as clearly as anything present can
be, that ought to be a candidate, have
in myself certain elements regarding my
candidacy which I must consider

ssMr. Blaine has, in his action, been act
uated by motives of the highest patriot
ism. only desiring, so far as his health
would permit, to do the best thing for

Especial to the Press.l

WASHINGTON, February .S.-Nothing
was talked about at the Capitol and IN
the departments and hotels today but
Mr. Blaine's letter declining to allow his
name to go before the next National Re-
publican Convention. There were, OF
course, few men who always see hid
den motive in everything Mr.. Blaine does
and these people were only too glad to
be able to announce that Mr.. Blaine's
letter was merely trick and, despite all
his protestations to the contrary, there
would be considerable mention of the
Plumed Knights name at Minneapolis.
The majority of the members of Con-
gress, however, accept Mr.. Blaine's letter
as sincere and final. They feel convinced
that nothing can now make him accept
the nomination. To friend
Mr.. Blaine Said Today
that nothing could induce him to permit
the use of his name at Minneapolis. His
letter in the first place, he said, would
prevent it and, besides, the state of his
health would not allow him to go
through the heat and excitement of an
other presidential campaign. 1t cannot
be disguised that Mr.. Blaine's condition
causes his friends great uneasiness.
At times he is as WELL apparently, as ev-
er, but at other times it is only too evi-
dent that heis unequal to enduring pro-
longed strain. His family and friends
have hoped that care and a partial re-
taxation from his arduous duties would
restore him to health, but the result has
not been what was anticipated and Mr..
Blaine himself realizes that it would be
unwise for him to go through another
campaign. 1t must be said, however, that
Should Mr.. Blaine Fully Recover
his health by the time the convention is
held, his friends would disregard his let
ter and nominate him despite his pro
tests. But that is hardly likely to hap
pen. The general opinion is that now
Mr.. Blaine is out of the race, President
Harrison will be renominated with prac-
tically no opposition. Senator Gull
lom and Gen. Alger will ssmake a shy''
at the nomination and so, perhaps, will
other candidates but no man so far as he
knows at the present time has very
large or formidable following. Senator
'Shermon of Ohio announced today very
positively that he would not be a candi-
date. This will also help Harrison as
Sherman has always been strong with
the southern delegates, and now that he
is out of the way they will naturally go
to Harrison.

Mr.. MANLEY'S STATEMENT.
Globe Quotes Him as Declaring the With

BOSTON, February s.-The Globe prints
this statement, which it says was written
by Hon. J. Fl. Manley at the request of
one of it's reporters:
'sMr. Manley said Mr.. Blaine's with
drawal was final; in his Judgment, Mr..
Blaine would not, under any circum-
stances, even if he was nominated by ac-
clamation, accept the nomination.
"a large number of citizens believe
what they knew, that Mr.. Blaine was
elected in 1884. The votes cast for Gen.
Butler in some of the wards of New York
city and parts of Long Island were
counted for Mr.. Cleveland, and but for
the death of John Kelley these facts
would have been proven beyond ques-
ton. The desire to right this great
wrong would alone have been sufficient
to elect Mr.. Blaine'' 9
