BANGOR, June 27.--An intimate friend
Of Mr.. Blaine is reported to have said
few days ago in the temporary furry
caused by the suggestion that the ex-
Secretary be sent to the Senate to succeed
Senator Hale, that In case the dstin-
guished statesman ever cared to-enter
public life at the Capitol itself, he would
prefer the House to the Senate, as the
latter body was always distasteful TO
him. There now seems to be an oppor-
tunity for Mr.. Blaine to represent his old
district again In Washington IL he wishes
to.
The untiring energy aud persistence Of
Governor Burleigh in his canvass for
Congressman Milliken's seat has resulted
i'm the four cornered fight, and as the time
approaches for the convention the con-
test increases to intensity. Judge Wis
well of Ellsworth, anticipating the bitter
feeling sure TO be generated, has tried to
remain neutral, with the idea OF eventu-
ally drawing support enough from either
Milliken or Burleigh to win. but rradu-
ally his forces have become as partisan as
either OF the others.
This strained condition of things leads
some of the cooler heads to consider the
feasibility of abandoning the warning
candidates and selecting an entirely new
man, and here is where the Blaine talk
begins Many of the Third district Re-
publicans would hug themselves with joy
IL they could he assured that he would
allow the use of his uame, and some are
not waiting to consult him. AZ the
largest Republican CAUCUS ever held IN
the thriving manufacturing town OF
Pittsfield it was unanimously voted as
follows:
WHEREAS, We have in our district q man
who stands to-day as the representative of the
nation; therefore be IL
"Rcsolped That we present that man for
our and your nominee for Congress, Hon.
James q. Blaine, the greatest living states
man."
When this action was first reported the
story was not believed, but the truth has
since been established. 1t would, indeed.
be a strange turn of the political wheel
which should bring Mr.. Blaine to the
front in such a position. There is every
indication that in order TO prevent the
use Of his name he will be Obliged TO en-
phasize Senator Hale's statement con-
cerning him, namely, that his one great
desire Is TO remain a quiet, private citi-

ESPECIAL TO THE NEWS,

NEW YORK, June 27.--The steamship
Vega, which was supposed to have been
in collision at sea with the sailing vessel
Fred b. Taylor, with the possible loss OF
1000 lives, arrived at quarantine this fore
noon. She reports that she was not In
collision with any vessel.
The fate Of the Taylor is vet uncertain.
The Taylor is of Yarmouth, and sailed
from Havre for this port, with twenty
two souls on board, ON May IL.
Capt. Boge of the steamship Ocean,
which arrived here Saturday. reports that
when $50 miles off Sandy Hook, he sighted
the stern of u vessel floating bottom up.
He could make out Yarmouth, N. S."
on the wreck, but nothing more. He
could see, however, that the vessel had
been cut in two at the mizzen chain
plates. The investigation following the
report showed almost conciusively that
what Capt. Boge had seen was part of
the Fred b. Taylor.
That some mishap has befallen the ves-
sci those who have friends among her
officers and crew do not doubt, and they
think it more than likely that she is lost.
The fate of her crew in this case is only a
matter of conjecture at present
Capt. Hurlbert's young wife-they had
only been married about year-went to
France with him, but returned to this
country on steamship. She has just

What connected the Portuguese steamer
Vega with the missing ship was the fact
that the steamship Vega. which left Lis
bon on June 5, was fully five days over
due, and would have taken the same
course as the Taylor.

Mr.. CARROLL EXPLAINS
His Friends Version Of the Ma
tional Committeeman Fight.
CARROLL SURE FOR CONGRESS.
He 10 Determined to Fight Page to the
End-The Usual Democratic Harmony
Prevails When AIr. Carroli's Plans
Become Known.

The version which Mayor Hugh j. Car
roll gives of the national committee elec-
tion episode differs materially from that
advanced by the Owen-Page combination,
but does not remove the positive marks
of friction. The bearings Of the machine
still permit It to wobble, and badly.
Carroll informs his friends that he was
elected as the first man on the list OF dele
gates to the national convention because
1t was understood and agreed that he was
TO succeed Honey. .
This plan was apparently working
serenely until Carroll found that Frank
lin p. Owen, VINO SO gallantly led his
party to defeat In the spring election,
stacked the cards so that he, Carroll. was
bound to lose.
Carroll began to make inquiries and
found that Owen had fixed the pack for
Congressman Page, which was in direct
opposition to what had been tacitly
agreed to-
Carroll saw or communicated with
Page and is said to have asked him to
pun of Owen and bring him into line.
Page wasn't working that way. He
not only declined to pull of his lieuten-
ant. but he dropped the remark that he
could not control Owen, who was his own
boss.
This aroused the ire of Carroll. and
when he reached Chicago and the proper
time came to act, he just jumped on
Owen by nominating Honey for member
Of the National Committee.
'You don't mean that, do you, Mr..
Carrolli" asked Honey.
"Oi course do"
Aud this is the true inwardness Of the
deal, as told by Mayor Carroll, who Is now
more earnest than ever in his determine
tion to fight Page in the Congr ressional
convention.

HIS STEALING WAS CHRONIC.
Judge wilbur Sends . Prisoner Where He
May be Cured, Perhaps.


In the Court of Common Pleas. this
morning, William and Robert johnson
pleaded guilty to the indictment alleging
that they stole barrel Of smoked should
ers from the PROVIDENCE Beef Company,
and were sentenced to eleven months each
in the county Jail.
Walter White was tried for entering In
the daytime the house of Franklin r.
Young. at No. 81 Hanover street, on
April 10th, and the larceny OF pocket
book containing sS,m. the property OF
Mrs. Clara Wall. The testimony. was
that White sneaked up the back stairs to
the attic, entered Mrs. Wallis room and
then attempted to 90 into an opposite
room occupied by Clarence +. Burtwell,
who was awakened by the intrusion and
obtained good view OF the intruder.
An alarm was given and White ran out,
scaling fence and hiding behind water
closet, where he was captured and where
the pocketbook was subsequently dis
covered, minus g. 50, which was found in
Whites pocket. The defense was the
plain assertion that White was never in
the house. The arguments consumed two
minutes. the charge minutes 10 seconds,
and the jury were out less than five min
utes.
The verdict was guilty, and inasmuch
as White had 1erved three other SEN
tences, two for offense similar to this one,
and one for larcency, he was sent to
State prison for three years. Whites ex-
cuse to the court was that these repeti-
tions of crime were probably the result OF
disease. Judge Wilbur laconically re-
marked that she guessed he would send
him where he could be treated for the
complaint"

that they kept common nuisances, and
