CAUSED SURPRISE.

Secretary BIaIne's Resignation Created .
Sensation at Washington.
WASHINGTON, June 4.-The news of
the resignation OF Secretary Blaine
created profound sensation at the cap.
itol, The senate was not in session, but
the house was in the throes of filibuster-
ing against the anti-option bill. The
effect of the reception of the bulletin
announcing the event was magical. The
telegram was read by the speaker and
Representative Dingley, and almost in
stantly the news spread over the house
like wave of sound Within two min
utes the space in front of the desk was
filled by a throng Of representatives
struggling to get a glimpse of the bit of
yellow paper which was snatched from
one hand 30 another The effect was
very discouraging to pending business
II did not take the Democrats very
long to decide what view TO take of the
matter as TO the initial stage. 1t means
that Blaine is standing for the nomina-
ton, said one and all. But when il
came to the secondary reSult--the effect
on the Democratic convention, there
was, Of course, a division of opinion.
Said Representative Dockery, Of Mis-
souri,: Fate is with us. 1t means that
Blaine ia the nominee; and Blaine can
never be elected"

REPUBLICAN HOSTS.
The Great Minneapolis Gathering, With
its Army Of ShOuters and Spectators.


MINNEAPOLIS TUESDAY. June 8, 1892.
The CITY of Minneapolis is one surRing
sea of enthusiastic and excited republi-
cans, from the greatest party leaders to
The township and ward hustler. besides
thousands of spectators, with no particular
claim to political leadership. The great
crowd is being taken care of in the char.
acteristic western style, the first consider
alton being to relieve it of whatever sur
plus it may have clinging to its garments
after railroad fare is paid.
AT this writing, as the great convention
convenes TO nominate successor to Har-
nson, the situation appears to be one Q,
chaos to the conservative outsider. Lead.
ers of both Harrison ana Blaine claim
enough votes to nominate their man. and
these supposed tips" are taken up in the
hotel lobbies. and upon street corners TO
brace up the partisans in their arguments
for this or against that man.
The President undoubtedly had awalk
away before the resignation OF his distir .
guished secretary. many constituting that
act as a concession from the anti Har
rison men. and the Harrison men yet
claim that no serious inroads have been
made In their ranks, but the best infor-
nation obtainable is to the contrary.
What must be termed the conservative.
Indifferent republican opinion, and the
democratic papers, however. believe at the
opening of the convention Harrison's del.
egates stand firm to the number Of 470 TO
900. This class of statisticians also admit
the possibility Of dark horse IL the con-

Talk.


WASHINGTON. June 5.-A reporter
called at Mr.. Blaine's residence shortly
after the correspondence had been made
public, and asked him if he would not
supplement it with an explanation. Mr..
Blaine smilingly but deliberately re.
piled:
The correspondence explains itself,
and have not word TO add to it
The president was next called upon
and asked if he was willing to say any
thing in regard to 1t. His response,
though made with entire courtesy of
tone and manner, was equally emphatic:
Nothing whatever"
The president and Mr. Blaine were
seemingly in excellent spirits, and each
OF them, after declining to say anything
for publication about the great event Of
the day or its effect upon the convention
at Minneapolis, turned the conversa-
ton to other topics with marked COM
posure.
Mr.. Blaine's appearance and manner
and tone of voice, however. were espec.

of relief and satisfaction which made
