A LETTERiFROM BLAINE.
1T IS AB"uSr HIS SONS UN'
HAPPY ARRIAGE
The Seer rV 10 Chiefly Con
cerned I'm ssefrauding Mrs
Blaine From the Charge of Hos
tilitv to HIS soma Wife.

Blaine From the Charge of Hos
tility to HIS soma wife.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 29.-Mr. Blaine has
Furnished. the Associated Press for pub
lication a long statement on the mar
riage andidivorce of his son, !. g., jr.
Secretary Blaine.says:
"Sinceithe separationl'of my son and
his wife, three and a.half years ago, my
familyi iha ve.. ..siently:.borne Eeverv misrep-
resent alton, every slanderous attack,
every newspaperlinterviews'which it has
pleased the now divorced wife to inspire.
The one person aimed at has been Mrs.
Blaine. The last outrage, embodied IN
the decision OF the Judge at DeadWood,
OAK, assumes an,official character which
makes it impossible to remain longer
silent. To remainsEsilent.i would be to
accept and perpetuate a great wrong
to my wife, and sa..greater wrong to
my grandson, than even the publication
of the truth can infict upon him."
SMr. Blaine then prints letter he ad-
dressed in 1886 to Rev. Thomas |.
Ducey. rector St. Leo's church, No.
16 East street, New York city. the
minister who married his SON.
Secretary Blaine charges that he did
so knowing that his son was under age
and adds:
"As servant food, to whose ministry
you are ordained, call God to witnes:
bet ween you and me. Of whatever evils
resulting from this deplorable marriage
my son may be the aut hor or the victim
the guilt be on your head"
Mr.. Blaine then goes on to charge that
the marriage was arranged by Mis-:
Nevlns far more than by his son; thai
the statement that Mrs. Blaine brok'
up the marriage relations OF my son ant
his wife" is false, that he offered th
young couple fine house, rent free, anc
81 500 year, but that the wife, ne
Ntvins, declined to stay in Augusta oil
any terms; that she finally left Mr.
Blaine's house at Augusta on the eve o
the arrival of her husband, and that sh
was at times insulting in Mrs. Blaine
presence. Mr.. Blaine concludes:
Far be it from me to hold my so
blameless; though when his youth, hi
uncompletcd education. his separatio
from the influences of home, exchange G
a life of hopes and anticipations 10
premature cares and uncongenial con
panionship, are considered, hold hlr
more sinned against than shining. Blu
his mother, at no time, in thought, o
word or deed, attempted to separat
this man and his wife. On the contrary J
she did not fail by iberality, by consic
Grafton, and by extenuation, to foster i
every practicable way their happiness
if happiness to them had been possible

SPEAKER REED SUSTAINED
A DECISION OF THE UNITED
STATES SUPREME COURT.

Has the Right to Decide What IL
a Quorum of That BOdy-The
ImpOrters' Case.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 29.-The "no quo
rum" case, in which the legality of the
Dinghy worsted act was attacked by
Rollin, Joseph & Co., importers, was
today decided by the United States SUI
preme court. The Dinghy act was
passed through the action OF Speaker
Reed in counting quorum when there
was quorum of members present but
not voting.
The eimporters maintained that Speaker
Reeds action was in violation of the
constitution and that an act passed in
this manner was void. The United
States circuit court for the southern dis
trict OF New York, decided against tine
United States, and in favor of the impor-
ters on this ground, so that the case
came before the United States supreme
court, adverse to the constitutionality of
the" no quorum method parliamentary
procedure. The United States supreme
court in an opinion by Justice Brewer
holds that the mo quorum" rule Was
valid and that the house of representa-
tives had right to make such rule.

The United states supreme Court
Affirms "a Decision ConyictinR
New Worker of selling Austria
Lottery Bonds In Illinois.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 29.-The cases OF
Edward H. Horner versus the United
States was today decided by the United
States supreme court. Horner is New
York banker who sold Austrian tiorin
bonds in which there is lottery feature,
the bond being drawn in the same man
ner as lottery prizes. Horner was tried
under the recent anti-lottery act and
convicted.
Aside from the question as to whether
or not the scheme comes within the pro-
visions of the anti-lottery act. an impor-
tant constitutional point was raised,
viz: That as the letters containing the
advertisement of the lottery were mailed
in New York, Horner could not be tried
in Illinois, in which state the letters were
received. The lottery act made the of.
fence triable, in either the district OF
mailing or Of receipt and it was con
tended that this provision violated the
federal constitution. The United States
supreme court affirmed the Judgment o
the lower court IN favor OF the UniteC
States and against Horncr, in an opinion
by Justice Blatchford.

When Joseph Jones, colored man, appeared
before Judge Miller yesterday on charge of
threatening the life of his better half, with
whom he has lived for more than ten years. he
plead guilty and said that Mary Jones had GER
tainly told the truth about him. In the next
breath he told the judge that he used the
language when he was excited and that he aid
not mean it, as he would not harm hair in her
head.
whats the name OF the other man?' the
judge inquired. although nothing of the kind
had been mentioned.
Oscar Jackson, the wife replied; but she
assured the court that her husband had no
reason for being jealous.
Joe thought he had good reason and told of
his wife's actions at the ball another night
when / was standing at the door," said Joe,
MARY purchased cents worth of candy and
told me to take it home to the children but 1
told her that she had better let Oscar jackson
take it."
Judge Miller said that where there was so
much smoke there must certainly be some fire.
and, while he hated to send the husband to
jail and let the wife sport about with another
man. yet he deemed it necessary to require the
husband to give some assurance that he would
lie. his wife alone.
The husband gave the $500 real estate Sc
curity required and was released.
