Mr.. BLAINE'S VISIT.
Whitelaw Reid Declares It Has
No Political Significance.
BE MAY BE INDUCED TO SPEAK.

The Ex-Seeretary Positively Declines
TO Discuss Politics-Hi Health,
Mr.. Reid Says, Is Rapidly Improv-
ing-To Go to Washington.
WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, Oct. 14.-Mr.
Blaine passed yesterday very quietly at
Ophir farm, the residence of Whitelaw
Reid, resting after his trip from Maine.
He saw no callers during the day, and
although a distinguished delegation came
up from New York in the afternoon, he
did not meet them until he came down.
stairs to dinner at p. III. The gentle
men whom Mr.. Reid had invited to meet
Mr.. Blaine were General Clarkson, Cor
nelius Bliss, Chairman Carter and Secre-
tary McComas.
To representative of the United
Press Mr.. Whitelaw Reid stated that the
visit of Mr.. Blaine and the meeting with
the directors of the Republican cam
palgn had no political significance what
ever. 1t was a purely social affair, and
not gathering for the holding of an inn
portant conference as to the progress of
the campaign.
Mr.. Reid also stated that Mr.. Blaine
was not induced to come on in order to
give the managers of the campaign an
opportunity to make personal and
united appeal to him to deliver one OF
more campaign speeches.
Only a Social Visit.
81 have been expecting Mr.. Blaine to
visit me for some time" said Mr.. Reid,
''and he has not been able to come until
now. He is on his way to his Washing
ton residence, and while / would be
happy TO have him with me for some
time am not certain that he will re-
main longer than the end of this week.
Mrs. Blaine expects to arrive in New
York on Monday, and will go to the
home of her daughter, Mrs. Damrosch,
for visit. Mr.. Blaine may also go
there for time, and he then may go to
Washington and may return here. His
plans are not yet settled.
Now. about Mr.. Blaine's health. ffe
has been unwell all summer, and is low
improving rapidly. The way in which
he stood the trip from Bar Harbor speaks
volumes. He is looking and feeling very
we'll after his twenty-four hours in the
cars. He positively declines to see news
paper men and to talk politics"
Blaine May Speak.
It is the general opinion here, in spite
OF what Mr.. Reid says, that a strong eff
fort will be made to induce Mr.. Blaine
to at least appear once at Madison
Square garden and deliver one of his
magnetic speeches in behalf of the Re-
publican ticket The absence of Mr..
harrison from the campaign, made
necessary by the illness of his wife, has,
it is said, led the national Republican
committee to see that some climax is
necessary to rouse enthusiasm in he
ranks and call out full vote on election
day
Whether the arguments of General
Clarkson, Joseph Manley, of Maine, Cor
nelius N. Bliss and Mr.. Reid, all of
whom are strong personal friends of the
ex-secretary of state, will induce him to
run the risk attendant upon entering a
political campaign in his present physical
condition, is uncertain. The matter is
evidently being seriously considered, and
the visit of James q. Bla ne to White
law Reid may have marked effect upon
the campaign.

ANOTHER TRAIN ROBBERY.
It Took Place Near the Scene of the
Dalton Battle,

CoFFEYvILLE, Kan, Oct. 14.-When
the Missouri Pacific train stopped at
Caney, station few miles west of here.
two men boarded the engine, covered
the engineer and fireman with rifles, and
ordered them to pull out two miles and
stop. They compelled the engineer and
fireman to uncouple the express car and
pull it half mile farther.
The express messenger, Maxwell, had
blown out the lights and barred the
doors. When ordered to open the door
he refused. The robbers fired a number
of shots through the door and wounded
Maxwell in the arm. He then sur
rendered, and lighted the lamps and
opened the door. The robbers compelled
the engineer to go in front OF them into
the car, while they covered Maxwell
with gun. Having got the money in
the safe, which Maxwell says was a
small amount, they backed off and dis
appeared. The identity of the robbers
is unknown.
Superintendent Harding thinks there
must have been at least three men i'm
plicated in the robbery. 1t is thought
the men were the same who held up the
station agent at Tedan, Kan.
AS all express money was transferred
at Conway Springs, the outlaws cannot
have secured much money.
