WASHINGTON, May 3O.-Secretary Eos
ter, In expressing himself to-day upon
! the political situation, and the attitude of
the President on the silver question. said
| the movement tavorng Blaine had its in
| ceptlon mainly with the people whom
the President had disappointed. He did
not underrate Blaine's popularity, but
thought the Presidents opponents took
advantage OF that, and are trying to force
bIalne to ignore his solemn assertion that
his name would not go before the con-
Vention. He did not believe Blaine had
given encouragement to the movement,
and felt that TO nominate Blaine would
run the risk Of his declination, which, if
1t came, would utterly ruin all hope of
party success.
roster further thought Blaine's accept
ance after the struggle necessary to OBJ
taln the nomination would surely make
MN weak candidate. The President.
said Foster, was not so DESTROYS for the
NOMINATION as most people imagine. He
permitted the use of his name since
BIalne's declinauOn seemed to make him
largely the choice OF party friends, that
beng the only condition which induced
him to consent.
Ity OF the convention, and hoped to see
MN nominated by reclamation. The
only argument USED against the PreSi-
Gent IS that he cannot be elected vet all
admit that the administration is a COM
pIete success. For some reason l can
not understand, Harrison is classed by
people Of the silver States as a gold bug,'
PRESIDENT harrison is as far from favor
ing a single gold standard as Senator
teller. quote the following utterance
OF his correspondence relating to the ar
engagements for an international silver
conference: The opinion OF the Presi-
dent, as he believes, is that the people of
the United States, with singular unanim-
lty, favor a full use OF silver as a com
metal upon a ratio 10 gold to be fixed by
an agreement between the great COM
merclM nations of the world would very
highly promote the prosperity Of all ma
lions and all classes OF people,"
CHICAGO, May 80. - Consul General
New, who is III this city to-day en- route
to the Minneapolis Convention, had sew
eral things TO say on the political situa-
ton. MIR. Harrisou's friends said we are
attacking no one. They don't have to do
it, for Mir. New thinks it is beyond a
show OF doubt that Harrison will be re-
nominated on the first ballot. Il KNOW
said he, THAT without President HarrI-
son reciprocity would never have been of
any practical value. More than that,
documents in his own handwriting will
show exactly who guided all negotiations
regarding the Behring Sea and Chile con-
troversieS." Mr.. New does not look
upon Blaine as Il candidate, and says
those who pretend that the Secretary's
letter was not final insult Blaine's hon

Presently loud shout announced the
entrance of the ombatants. Slavin's eN-
preston was one of logged confidence,
while Jackson's was that Of man who
did not quite know. Both men looked
IN the pink of condition. In the opinion
of the majority there was only one man
in it, and that was Slayin. They are now
left to ponder over the fact that it is one
thing to possess a hit such as Slavin's,
but quite another thing to get it home.
More than once Jackson's supporters felt
apprehensive, while Slavin's adherents
always expected great punch from their
tavorlte, which never came. In fact,
Slavln did not shine as boxer.
In the meantime Jackson's blows
looked playful, but they hurt. He
countered well and took all the sting out
of Slavin's tremendous lunges. The
wonderful part OF it was Slavin's stamina.
The remark was often heard that Jackson
was no fnisher, yet he gradually wore
his opponent down, and when it came to
the finish he gave SlaVin one of the hand
soonest settlers ever witnessed to the
finest match on record.
Despite the fact that Jackson is negro,
the victory is extremely we'll received.
Jackson invariably nailed his opponent
as the latter came on, thus securing a
blow OF double impact. frequent vista
tons on the nose and mouth nearly
choked Slavin, the blood that trickled
down his throat troubling him greatly.
The sports in attendance upon the fight,
while applauding Jackson's magnanimity
IN not finishing off his opponent earlier,
think he would have been more humane
had he done so, Jackson is not q savage
fighter, and when in the tenth round,
though blind and daZed, SlaVin pluckily
declined TO lie down and admit lis de-
feat, but held up his CORY head to receive
blow after blow. Jackson, in a helpless,
logged manner, stopped and looked
around, as much as to say, "Have not |
done enOugh?" His &dherents warned
him to continue the blows, and again
they were rained upon the almost de-
tenseless man before him. SlaYiu swayed
feebly, stood up again, but fiually, in re-
spouse to terrific blow, sank in heap
on the floor.
