Special DtpGich 10 he IntdIligeueer.
WAsnINdToN, D. G., June 2.-The
enigmatical Mr.. Blaine furnishes much
food for discussion even now. The
departure and absence from Washing
ton OF Republican politicians intensity
the interest here which might be truly
and tritely described us being "at fever
heat" Nearly all the Blaine boomers
are out OF town and on their way to
Minneapolis and 'the administration
forces are practically in possession OF
fhe city. This fact, added to Mr..
Blaine's mysterious silence, has made
Harrison stock rise q point. For the
twentieth time it is positively alleged
that Blaine will not be candidate be-
fore the convention. A rumor even is
afloat and 10 the effect that Chairman
Clarkson has at this moment Blaine's
letter OF doclination in his pocket The
alleged letter is (the story goesl to be
produced at the proper time, viz: AT
that stage in conventions proceedings
when Mr.. Blaine can with propriety de-
clare himself.
1t is argued that there is no earthly
reason he should speak now. Nothing
official nor formal has been rendered
him and that it would be presumptous
for him to speak unless there is valid
and vital reason for him so doing.
The average politician, however, isbe-
ginning to shorten sail so that his
political craft can sail before the wind
should sudden shift in the gale occur.
He is growing chary Of expressing
opinions and everything diyulged is
in tho strictest confidence.
There are two thirty thousand dollar
wagers offered in the city to-day. Ono
sum is in the hands OF Carson & Nc.
Cartney, local bankers, fifteen thousand
OF which is bet that Blaine accepts the
nomination il rendered him and fifteen
thousand that he will be elected in case
he is nominated and accepts. The
money will be bet in sums Of 81, 900,
Jesse Sarvis, correspondent OF the
New York Daily Me,rS, announces that
parties on the New York stock ex-
change want to bet 5000 three times
that ii Blaine is nominated he will ac-
cept. and 5000 three times that if he
is nominated he will be elected.
Senator Hale is out in an interview
to-day. He has been regarded as an
administration adherent, though close
to Blaine. He says Blaine will ac-
cept the nomination if 1t is rendered
him. Only one ballet will l'be taken, in
the senator's opinion, and the result Of
that ballot WILDE Harrison's or Blaine's
nomination. '..

GuTHRtE, OKLAHOMA, juno 2.-The de-
tails OF the robbery last night Of tho
Wells, Fargo express car OF the Santa
Fe passenger train, makes story Of un.
-examplcd outlawry on the part Of the
bandits, and of brave resistance on the
part of the custodians OF the express
company's property. Tho robbers were
at work the best part OF an hour at.
tempting to intimidate the express
messengers into submission, and dur
ing all that time the passengers were
risking their lives in the defense OF the
company's property. the robbery was
an unique one in the history Of Indian
territory outlawry. In the first place
the robbers got everything in sight.
Again, during a battle between the mes.
sengers and the bandits, in which fully
200 shots were fired, not man was
wounded.
1t was 10 o'clock when the train
reached Red Rock, in the northwest cor
ner OF the 0toe and Missouri reseva-
ton in the Indian strip. Just as twas
pulling out two men with black masks
covering their faces, covering the en-
gineer and fireman with their revolve:s,
commanded them to run the train
down to the stock yards and to stop at
given signal. Carl Mack, the en-
gineer, and Frank Rogers, the fireman,
obeyed the hecommand. Tohave resisted
would have meant their death. -~
When the train stopped tho two rob-
bers were Joined by five masked COM
panions, Their leader commanded the
engineer and fireman to walk back to
the express car and commanded the
fireman to break open the door with his
coal pick. E. G. Whittlesey, the mes
senger, and j. A. Riehl, the guard, anti
cipating what was going on when the
train came to a stand still, had blown
out the lights in the car and refused to
allow any one to enter. The bandits
then opened fire upon the car from all
sides, but the two men within it re-
sponded promptly, ,aimingall their shots
at the door. #
When the. robbers at last entered
the express car, they covered those
within with their guns, and with a
sledge hammer and chisel broke open
the way and through safes and robbed
them Of everything Of value. They also
took $50 and gold watch from the
guard OF the express car. Messenger
Whittlesey had hidden his money and
watch and the robbers got nothing from
him. The amount secured by the rob-
bers is unknown, as the express COM
pany has made no statement.
After the robbery the men mounted
their horses and rode off to the south
west. The Dalton gang are charged
with the crime, and judging from the
description given Of the robbers by
those who are acquainted with the Dali
tons, it was und oubtedly the notorious
gang, A detective and posse had been
on the latter's track for some time. It
is thought that the robbers can be cas-
lily tracked on account Of the wet
ground.

IronWoskerI Will Not Agree to Lower
Scale for Western MRnufacturers-rhe
steel Scale.
PIr7sDUReH, June 2.-The iron and
steel wage committees OF the Amalga-
mated Association began their consider
alton of the annual list Of prices gov
erning wages in the iron and steel
mills. The iron scale committee met
in the general offices Mt 10 o'clock this
morning. President Weihe was chair
man, The only thing done was to con.
slider the programme, which has been
printed. It includes all changes in the
various scales favored by various lodges.
It is an error, the statement that tho
Ohio and Shenango valley manufactur-
ers have formally demanded reduc-
tion in prices for pudding and other
departments where the scales are based
upon tho pudding list. The manutac.
turers have not sent scale for consider
alton by the committee, not will they
present one until after the conference.
A member of the scale committee now
in session., stated this morning that the
Amalgamated Association would not
consent to give manufacturers west OF
Pittsburgh, and consequently nearer
the market, lower rates OF wages than
are in force in local mills.
"The'Philadelphia and Eastern man.
ufacturers," he said. always claimed
and got lower rasI OF wages because
they were farther from the market,
which was steadily moving westward.
That argument could be used by Pitts
burgh manufacturers to allege discrimi-
nation in case lowerwages were granted
Western manufacturers" ~
Amalganated Associatin, began its ses.
sion this morning in Turner's Hall,
Forbes street. The committee has
large number of scales for specially
mills to consider and will probably not
report at the opening OF tho annual
convention OF the organization.

In the course OF his argument Mr..
Stewart rid:culed Mr.. Sherman's ex-
preston Of sympathy for the working

blood enough in all the gold trust men

nothing else) to claim for themselves all
honesty. Honesty would be banished
from the world when the crime OF 1879
was justified.
He believed that the country would
have free coinage Of silver, and would
have it in the near future,
At the close OF Mr.. Stewards speech
