MIR. BLAINE's POSITION.
He VIII Accept the Nomination When
IL Is rendered Him Next June.

WASHINGTON CITY. Jan. 26.-fSpecial. l.
secretary Blaine's real position relative to
!, the presidential nomination next year is
! now positively known to his friends in
this city. Mr.. Blaine will make no effort
whatever to secure the nomination, and
will make no expression to anyone, either
in public or private, as to his intentions.
His friends, however, have been informed
that If the nomination comes to him with
any sort of freedom at the Minneapolis
convention next June he will not decline
II. The plan TO be pursued by the friends
of Mr.. Blaine is to go ahead and elect
Blaine delegates in every state in the
Union, and if they find that they are sue
cessful in securing majority to the next
convention, Mr.. Blaine's name will be
presented without fear on the part of any
one that he will decline. even though
there is slight opposition to his being
given this place.
United States senator. who has had
more than dozen conferences with Mr..
Blaine, is the authority for this informa-
tion He admits. however, that Mr.. Blaine
has not Indicated to him that he is a can
ddate in any sense, but he has given a
tacit understanding that he would not de-
cline the honor if il was conferred upon
him. As has been stated many times, the
only thing that will prevent Mr.. Blaine's
leading the Republican party to victory
in the great national campaign will be on
account Of his health. LII he finds il would
be dangerous for him TO go through the
pressure of another presidential canvass,
he will emphatically decline to accept.
Those who have seen Mr.. Blaine and
| watched his movements during the past
two months do not fear but that his health
will be entirely satisfactory TO him per-
sonally and to his friends. All attempts
to injure his candidacy by spreading
Spurious stories about his mental and
physical condition have fallen fiat, and
the further attempts 10 make him put him
self on record in connection with the presi-
Dental nomination have also utterly
filled. He is a sphinx in every sense of
the word
Mr. Blaine will remain at the head of
the state department. and will continue to
direct the affairs of state with master
hand as has been his custom in the past.
His reciprocity plans will be fully carried
out with more energy than ever. The
friends of President Harrison are becom-
ing convinced. that any plan they may
promulgate to compel Mr.. Blaine to show
bis hand will be utterly fruitless. They
will await the developments of the next
few months with degree of anxiety that
F. is but honest, but no further moves will be
made to drive Mr.. Blaine off the presi-
Dental track.

William Reed & Co.. Tacoma. The writer,

spondent of the PosT-INTELLIGENcER:

OF knaves who would lure such as her TO a city

women here for immoral purposes.

vised the emperor to dissolve the house

net is prohibited from taking part in the
contest, the opposition will likely have
majority in the lower house.

ship Riggio's Cargo Damaged by Water

TACOMA. Jan. 26. Especial. The Ital-
ian ship Riggio. whose captain has had
trouble with deserving sailors. was disabled
here today, owing. it is thought, TO the
careless or malicious conduct on the part
of some member of the crew in leaving the
sea valve open. Last night the Riggio
finished loading $1,000 bushels of wheat
and was awaiting sailing orders to-
day. There were three feet of water
in the hold when the pumps were
put TO work. The Riggio was
loaded by Balfour. Guthrie & Co, of this
city. The loss has not been adjusted. but
will be heavy. Whether the loss will be
assessed TO the underwriters or Balfour,
Guthrie & Co, will probably be settled by
litigation.
The captain thinks the vessel sprung a
leak. The cargo Will be Immediately dis
charged. The grain IN the hold is water
soaked to the depth of four sacks of wheat.

members of the Vioeroy's Council the re-
cent minute to the Secretary of State for
India, urging the Government to lend the
United States conference proposals its
strongest support
The India Minute ON Silver.
The minute, which has just been issued
by the Foreign Office, says that the violent
oscillations since 1890 and the rapid decline
in the price of silver cause the mercantile
community the gravest anxiety. II an In
ternati0nal agreement is not attained the
United States Government will sooner or
later be driven to adopt silver standard or
abandon the purchase of silver. The cessa-
tion of the United States to purchase silver
cannot fail to further depress the price of
the metal. The British Government ought
to consider the measures calculated to pro-
tect India and to remedy the violent fuctu-
ations in the relative value of gold and
silver.
The answer of Viscount Cross, Secretary
of State for India, announces that England
will take part in the International Confer
ence, and adds that the conference will as
semble and consider by what means the use
of silver can be increased in the currency
systems of the nations. The Parliamentary
Committee of the Trades Unions Council
yesterday passed resolution declaring
that the Council trusted that the Inter-
national Conference would result in a stable
exchange being secured between gold and
silver using countries.

the McCarthyite Cause.
NEW YORK, June 24-The National
Federation of America has sent out the
following appeal:
To the Friends of Home Rule for Ireland:
The dissolution of tho British Parliament
is announced, and the general election is to
be held immediately. The struggle of Ire-
land for life or death Is at hand. Now is the
time to help her, ifyou wish her to live, to
be free. We speak for the majority of the
Irish National party, presided over by JUS
tin Mccarthy, and your subscription will be
devoted to its support. Help to any faction
opposed to that ajority Is help to disunion,
dishonor and disaster.
We ask you to assist the party on whose
side are found the best and purest of the
Irish people, the law-abiding, wise and
patriotic sons of Ireland in America and
the Irish hierarchy and clergy, the faithful
friends of the national cause. Funds are
needed to carry their seats in Parliament,
and the legitimate legal expenses will be
$l5O, ,000 The legal fees must be deposited
before candidates are eligible for election,
But two weeks remain to procure this
money.
