Blaine Says it is an internal Lie. y

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-Secretary Blaine
had a conference with the President this
morning in regard to trade relations with
Canada. AS he was leaving the White
House representative of the Associated
Press showed him the published statement
he was about TO retire from the cabinet.
He read it slowly and then said with de-
liberation SIT is entirely false. There is
not ord of truth in it. These stories are
being circulated by idle persons who have
nothing better to do and l ask you TO deny
them in the most positive terms, as the
statement is an Internal lie."
When questioned as to other rumored
changes in the cabinet, Blaine said: IL do
not know anything about them, L suppose
these rumors are started by the same men
who set the one afoat about me. There
seems to be no more foundation for them

say to the delegates from other sections
advocating a second term for the Pre- 81
dent: Gentlemen, New York is at the
polls and we tell you General Harrison
cannot carry New York this year. The
Republicans of the state cannot be en-
Unused by any appeals in his name, 1t
would be suicide therefore for this con-
vention to put his name up again"
The expectation is that this announce
meDt will bring the convention to dead
halt and that after conference, the candi-
dBte most acceptable to New York will be
nominated. In support of this, is the old
story that Mr.. Blaine does not feel friendly
toward the President 1t is even asserted
that the Blaine leaders had conferences
with Blaine, and learning of his Intention
to withdraw, informed him that they would
oppose the President, and that they were
not rebuked by him. 1t is certain that Mr..
Cullom, Mr.. Washburn, Governor For
aker and Mr.. Manley have all seen Mr..
Blaine lately, ana report is that during his
last visit to town Platt was with Mr.
Blaine over an hour. The Presidents
friends deny the power of these men tc
defeat him.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-The House COM
mittee on territories gave a hearing this
morning to a delegation of citizens from
Utah in favor of the passage of the bill in-
troduced in the House by Delegate CAME
and similar bill introduced in the Senate
by Senator Faulkner providing for local
self-government for Utah and for the cleo
ton of territorial officers. Among the per-
sons present were Ex-Governor West, Mr.
Smith, lawyer of Ogden, and Judge Judd,
formerly associate justice of the territory.
The force OF arguments was that the pres
ent government of the territory was made
quate, corrupt and impartial. Charges
were made by the spokesman that the Off
Gals in power administered the affairs of
the government more for their own per-
sonal ACKNOWLEDGMENT than for the good of
the people.

THE WOOL DUTIES.
The Democrats of the Ways and
Means Committee
Agree on Them-When Over 40 Per Cent.
They Are TO be Cut-Compensators'
Duties Taken off.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-There has been a
substantial agreement by the wool special
committee of the Democratic majority of
the ways and means committee on the pro-
visions of the wool bill. The changes
made in the bill drafted by Springer are
not formally made up, but very substan-
tial reductions are made in the duties on
wooden manufactures proposed by Spring
er's bill. AID valorem duties on wooden
manufactures of all kinds, including loths
dress goods, carpets and all other wool ar
ticles imported under the Mckinley law,
and which rates were left unchanged by
the Springer bill, have been cut down
wherever in excess of 40 per cent.
and the average rate of duty proposed by
the new bill on wooden goods is about per
cent. below the uniform rate of 40 per cent.
fixed by the Mills bill. Under the agree
ment wool is made free, as proposed by the
Springer bill; all duties on wooden manu-
sactures where 40 per cent. or less under
the existing law are unchanged, VIII ere
more than 40 per cent. they are reduced
to that rate, so no wooden duties will be
higher tnan the Mills rate and those on
he cheaper grades of goods to be less.
Under the Mckinley law duties range
from 30 TO 60 per cent. So there is a re-
duction of % per cent. made from the high.
est rate now imposed and the average rate
is brought down to acout 35
per cent. on shoddies and wastes. The
agreement adopts the Springer rate of &c
per cent. against the present rate of &
cents per pound. All compensatory duties
of course, are taken off, as raw wool is
made free, SO the present per pound and
per yard duties will be abolished if The bill
becomes law and only ad valorem duties
retained. Members of the committee say
the wool bill will be the principal measure
reported, and examination of its provisions
will show no step backward has been taker
in tariff reform, but that an advance o.
considerable importance has been taken
and that on the wool schedule, regarded by
all tariff reformers as the key to the pro
tee i've system, reductions are maze greater
thon those proposed by the Democrats TIVE
years ago.

are capable of local self gov rnment, and
that If Congress will but give them an OPP
portunlty they will demonstrate that capa-
bility to the satisfaction of everybody;
that the people of Utah have not hereto
fore had fair treatment from the govern
ment; that broader patriotism should
have characterized the rule than has been
in the past; that heretofore court has only
been held IN four counties of the territory,
and that counties having population OF
from 3, 90 to 1900 people have beer de-
MED the right to lltigate their affairs in the
courts, because they were compelled to
travel hundreds of miles over mountains
and deserts and at an expense they could
not bear. He then exhibited to the COM
mlttee, from the map of Utah, the topog-
raphy of The country wherein he showed
that thousands of people in the territory
| had never seen court in session, and that
! the people had been so neglected that II
they had shortcomings it was rather
THE FAULT OF THOSE WHO GOVERN
them than the fault of the governed.
Judge Judd spoke for forty minutes and in
conc usion he said: "Put q court in every
county in the territory and let the people
see that the government of the United
States has the interest in them that it has
In other people. Let the people understand
that the people of the Unit States and

! Let them undersian that we regard this
| government harmonious whole and that
when you hurt the liberty of one citizen in
an obscure corner of this country, you hurt
the liberty of all citizens of the govern
ment alike. Let them understand that
they are as much citizens of the United
States as any people in this broad land OF
ours. Let them understand that the gov.
eminent has the same interest in them tina,
1t has in the balance of its citizens, and my
word for 1t, there will be no more loyal anC
biding citizens in the land,
NONE MORE READY TO HONOR THE FLAG

the Mecca of curio gatherers. The en-
terprising proprietor of one of these
curiosity shops keeps live alligator
nine feet long i'm the tank of rear
room, and then extends to each wan
dering tourist cordial invitation to
view it. Coming back through the
store, there are various things to at
tract the eye, and the obliging shop
keeper usually reaps an ample harvest
Alligators of every size, shape, and
material are in stock, from the carved
alligator on the canes, to the big
stuffed alligator standing on his hind
feet and holding tank full of baby al
ligators i'm his fore feet. 1t was here
that haunting memories of poor ''Dixie"
caused me to purchase an alligator cane
for my "better half" who now con-
temptuously refuses to sport it.
In this city the queer Southern sights
of which we had SO often read were
multiplied, and we many times seemed
to see by the roadside the very original
of some illustrated sketch in Harper or
Scribner. Everywhere were mules and
"niggers," as they are called, and jaunty
mulatto girls might often be seen trip
ping gayly along with monstrous bun
dies poised upon their heads. In fact
the darkes carry everything in this
manner, from feather bed to bundle
of rails. 1t was here too that roses, hya-
cinths and japonicas were in full bloom,
the latter so large and double as to
make us at first mistake them for roses.
In the afternoon we again sped away,
this time bound for quaint old st. Au-
gustine. Soon after starting, G. S.
Hampton of Petoskey, presented Sec
rotary Lowrey with an elegant, gold
lined tea set of five pieces, expressing,
in very happy little speech, the APP
probation and gratitude of the Associ-
alton for the secretary's untiring labor
in their behalf. President Nisbett was
also caned with one of the alligator or
namented walking sticks, and the short
ride to st. Augustine forms another
pleasant memory of our Florida trip.
