senator HiscOek Sure He Will BE
NOminated-NO Further DecIIna-
tiOns He VIII Probably Re-
consider His Letter TO OIarksOn.
New YORK, May Ex-senator Hiscock
visited Secretary Blaine yesterday and
subsequently said; "Mr. Blaine will
accept if nominated, and 1 am sure he
will be nominated. He will write no more
letters of declination. While not quite as
well as I expected to find him, he is i'm
proving daily. l am satisfied he is strong
enough to undergo a presidential cam
palgn."
After breakfast at the hotel this morning
the secretary returned to his rooms, and
although many cards were sent up only one
or two we're permitted to see him. One
was an ex-governor of Massachusetts,.
After the talk with Mr.. Blaine the ex-gov-
srnor was seen by a reporter, to whom he
said:
3 Mr.. Blaine will accept the nomination,
SasNfNs sls no longer any question about it.
He has recOusidered his letter to Clarkson,
stating that under no circumstances would
he be a candidate, and while he will not
write letter formally making such an an
nOuncement, he will not write one declin-
ing, as reported he would. Massachusetts
is for Blaine. There appears to be a Blaine
cyclone, and the republicans of the whole
country appear to demand his nomination" 4"
When he went out riding today Blaine
was dressed entirely in black, which height
ened the pallor Of his face. His step was
sprightly, however, and he appeared in a
very cheerful mood.
PITTsBURG, Pa, May 26 Senator NJ. S.
Quay passed through Pittsburg on his way
to Beaver. He was asked
"What is the presidential sentiment at
Washington City?"
at is very strong" he said, "for James
g. Blaine. He is the talk Ofth hour there,
and the sentiment all over the country in
dicates that he must be nominated"
"Do you think he will be nominated2"
II do not think there will be any trouble
1t will not be by stampeding the cOnven-
ton, but by force of general sentiment"
Senator Quay declined to express his per-
sonal preference.
WASHINGTON CITY, May Ex-senator
Stanford thinks that Blaine will not be
candidate.
"Mr. Blaine told me two months ago."
said the senator today, ''that his heglth
would not bear the strength of CAM
paign."
Mr. Stanford also believes that the Cali
fOrnia delegation will not attempt to stam-
pede the Minneapolis convention, but will
Loyalty stand by Harrison. unless Blaine
shall be personally entered in the race.

Indians Bring the News of the MUIR
der of a Whole Family.
VICTORIA, B. c., May 27.-News of a mys-
terious wholesale murder reached Victoria
late this evening from Lillooet. George
Bull, who lives at Seaton Lake, below
Lillooet, with his wife, two daughters, one
6 and the other IA years, and two-year-
old boy, in the middle of March went to
their mining claim on Bridge creek, twenty
five miles from Lillooet and 500 miles from
here. April 4th, the girl came to Lillooet
for sack of flour. This was the last heard
OF the family. May 14th, two Indians went
to their camp on the creek, and found the
tent lying down. Lifting itep thev found
sack of Hour and pill0W-case soaked with
blood. They made an examination and
found where the bodies had been dragged
to the creek. Tufts of hair and clotted
blood were sticking on the grass and
tWlgs. Very little -four had been used
out OF the sack. 1t is supposed that the
murder was committed about April 9Th.
The Indians reported the matter to the
authorities at Lillooet at once. Constable
Phalr and William Cusack went to the
scene, but could get no cleW. The whole
affair is shrouded in mystery. The family
is well known and had no enemies. No
one worried about not hearing from them,
as they were in the habit of remaining at
camp several months each summer. The
scene Of the murder is in one of the most
obscure recesses of the mountain country.
IN the province of LillOOet, 100 miles off the
railroad, and that accounts for the DELAY
in getting the news. The information was
received by the Daily Newsletter from w.

WONDERFUL ENDURANCE.
BardshiDs of a MAN In the Mine.
of COlornfO,

of COlorNGO.
Los ANGELES. May o. There is now w.
ing in the Sisters Hospital, a miner named
John Conley, who was brought to this city
Saturday by two Of his friends, Charles
Eddy and NJ. Dolan, from Lincoln county,
New, where they have been working in the
El Dorado canyon mines. Conley is a mass
OF bruises and broken bones; and though
his injuries did not receive any attention
for almost week he is resting easy and his
chances for recovery are good.
The hardships he has Undergone show
HIM to be a man of wonderful endurance
and nerve. Last Sunday he and a number
OF miners were working in the Ell Dorado
mines, twenty-five miles from the Colorado
river. Just after setting Ola big blast Con-
ley entered the mines ahead of his compan-
ions. A few seconds later he shaft caved
IN, burylng him under tons OfrOck and dirt
The men knew there was small chance of
finding Conley alive, but went to work with
a will to dig out their friend. In a few
hours the mass of earth and rocks was re-
moved and Conley's body was raised to the
mouth OF the shaft. He was still alive.
Two immense powders had knocked him
down, but fortunately they fell against
each other in such a way thata small open-
ing was left for his head, and thus he es-
capped being crushed to death instantly.
AAAe DOoJ AONl4 " Jilo ups Was also pro-
tected to a certain extent, but his back
bone and legs were terribly mangled, and
in falling he received some ugly bruises on
the head and face. There was no hospital
nearer than Los Angeles where Conlev
could receive the attention that his con-
dition demanded. As the nearest point to
the railroad is at Needles. a distance of III
miles, majority of the men would have
given up and allowed their companion to
die in the wilderness, but Conley's part
ner's are not of that kind They lost no
time in fixing up a rough stretcher, and in
a few minutes after Conley was on his way
to Los Angeles.
The distance to the Colorado river from
the mine is twenty-five miles, over a coun-
try that would put Death valley to shame.
The first ten miles is over rough noun
tains and lava beds, and at one point the
two brave men had to strap their disabled
companion to his stretcher so that they
could let him over a bluff by long rope
they carried. They had to make swing
ing bridge across raYines, and at places it
took them hours to make few yards The
heat was something terrible in these rough
mountains, and most of the time the ther-
mometer stood at 120 degrees.

Hon. Roswell G. Horr, brother of J. c.
Horr, has been secured by the republican
county central committee to speak in the
Olympia theater on Monday evening
taking for his subject, tariff, and the silver

Horr:
Fully 5000 people crowded around the
grand stand at the grand republican mass
meeting held under the auspices of
the James G. Blaine club, and
the speaker of the evening was
Hon. Roswell G. Horr, ex-congressman
from the state Of Michigan, and one of the
ablest stump speakers in the country. The
booming of anVils and the First Regiment
band directed the attention of the public to
the plaza long before the exercises began
and by $50 O'Clock the block was covered
with an almost unbroken mass of human
ity. Mr.. Horr was a member of the Forty
seventh and Forty-eighth congresses from
Michigan. During his term of Office he
distinguished himself on several occasions
III heated debates with S. S. Cox, of New
York, and Congressman Springer of
Illinois. 1t is said to his credit that no
member ever left the house as long as he
held the floor. During the past few years
he has been engaged in newspaper work,
and at rresent Is on the editorial staff of
the New York Tribune, writing tariff ed

Wasson from Mayor Miller, of New What.
com. The telegram flies the flag of distress

mediate assistance. 1t sets forth that as
Asiatic smallpox is prevalent at New

tine restrictions are seriously menacing
the safety and life of the community. The
mayor says:
''The public safety demands that imme-

amined by competent health officers sta
toned at Blaine and Sumas. Can you
help US? Delay is dangerous"

took steps to send all possible relief, but
found that there was no provision of law
authorizing him to take any action in such
cases. The matter was Immediately re-
terred to the Puget Sound board of health,
located in this city, and to DR.. ConoVer, the

ton Performed.
FAIRBURY, ILL.,, May 27.-Drs. Parsons, of
this city, and Salisbury, of Strawn, have
performed a successful but critical surgical
operation upon Mrs, Barney Sweet, of this
city. Mrs. Sweet has suffered intensely
the past eighteen months with something
that bafled the skill of the doctors. Her
condition becoming dangerous, an opera
tion was decided upon, which brought to
light broken knitting needle five inches
long, which had become encysted in the
flesh, one end of the needle having pen
etrated the bladder, and upon this end
there had formed hard, strong substance
the size of hens egg. The operation was
necessary to save her life and she is now in
fair way Of speedy recovery.
The needle was broken off about eighteen
months ago, but, strange to say, she did
not suspect the presence of the steel in her
flesh then. Later the sufferings which the
doctors could not account for developed.
