WILL BLAINE SPEAK K?
Strong Effort Making to Induce
 Him to Take the Stump.
POLITICIANS AT OPHlR FARM.

The Ex-Secretary of State Declines to
 Talk of the situation-He is Looking
 and Feeling wel.,-His Plans Not Yet
 Decided On.
 WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., Oct. 14.-Mr. Blaine is passing the time quietly at Ophir Farm, the residence of Whitelaw Reid, resting after his trip from Maine. Although a distinguished delegation came up from New York yesterday af- ternoon he did not meet them until he came downstairs to dinner at 2 o'clock in the evening The gentlemen whom MT. Reid had invited to meet MT. Blaine were Gen. James s. Clarkson, Cornelius N. Bliss, Chairman Carter, of the Republi- can National Committee, and Secretary McComas.
 To a press representative MT. Reid stated this morning that the visit of MT. Blaine, and his meeting with the direct ors of the Republican campaign, had no political significance. It was a purely social affair, and not gathering for the holding of an important conference as to the progress of the campaign.
 Mir. Reid also said that MT. Blaine was not induced to come on in order to give the managers of the campaign an oppor tunity to make personal and united ap peal to him to deliver one or more cam paign speeches.
 II have been expecting MT. Blaine to visit me for some time," said Mir. Reid, land he has not been able to come until now. He is on his way to his Washing ton residence, and while would be most happy to have him with me for some time, 1 am not certain that he will remain 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. MT. Blaine may go there also for time, and he may then go on to Washington, and he may return here. His plans are not yet settled.
 "Now, about MT. Blaines health, he has been unwell all summer and is now 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"
 It is the general opinion here, in spite ot what Mr. Reid says that strong effort will be made to induce M.. Blaine to ap- pear at least once at Madison Square Garden, and deliver one of his magnetic speeches in behalf of the Republican ticket. The absence of MT. Harrison from the campaign made necessary by the illness of his wife, has. it is said, led the members of the National Republican Committee to decide that some strong climax is needed to arouse enthusiasm in in the ranks and call out full vote on election day.
 Whether the arguments of General Clarkson, Joseph Manley, Cornelius N. Bliss and Mir. Reid, all of whom are strong personal friends of the ex-Secre- tary 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 G. Blaine to Whitelaw Reid may have marked effect upon the campaign.

 LONDON, Oct. 14.-The action of the Prince of Wales in absentingH himself from Tennyson's funeral, in order to at tend the Newmarket races, has caused more adverse comment in ertain circles than anything he has done since he played bacccarat with the Wilson's at Tranby Croft, and testified at the Gordon Cum ing trial that he always carried his own card counters in his pocket.
 The Radical newspapers seize the op- portunity. The "Star," the leading Rad ical organ, printed yesterday a letter couched in very abusive terms of the Prince. The same paper publishes pro test by the Rev. Dr. Nevins against the letter.
 The Chronicle" joins the Radical pa- pers in condemning the course of the Prince, but the "Pall Mall Gazette" de- fends him, and asks how many of the editors who censured the Prince put the description of the Cesarewitch race be- low the account of the Tennyson funeral in their papers. Other papers commend the Prince for his courage in honestly showing his preference for horsefesh rather than poetry" as one newspaper r1tS

THE APFoRrIoNMENT VALID.
Decision of the New York Court of Alp
 peals in the Three Contests.

ALBANY, N. Y, Oct. 14-The imme- diate result of the decision of the Court of Appeals which upholds the Apportion- ment act of 1899, will be the redistrict- ing of the counties of Oneida, Duchess and Monroe, whose Boards of Supervisors refused to obey the law. In the remain ing fifty-seven counties the redistricting has already been done
 The court is unanimous upon all the questions involved except those discussed in Judge Andrews opinion.
 The cases and decisions are as follows
 The people ex rel Bond, as appellant, vs. the Supervisors of Monroe county. The court is asked to issue a writ of man. damus compelling the Board of Super visors of Monroe county to redistrict the Assembly districts in that county in com pliance with the Apportionment law passed by the last Legislature.
 Orders reversed, and motions for a mandamus granted with all costs
 Second case-The people ex rel Horn, appellant, vs. the Board of Supervisors of Oneida county, the same proceedings as in the Monroe case.
 Orders reversed, and motions for a man damus granted with costs in all courts.
 Third case-The people ex rel George c. Carter, of Utica, appellant, vs. Frank
 
 court to grant an injunction order re- straining the Secretary of State from recognizing the new Apportionment law, or sending out notices of election of mem- bers of Assembly to County Clerks u nder that law.
 Order affirmed, with costs in all courts.
 The opinions are written by Judges Peckham and Gray. Earl, O'Brien and Maynard concur, and Andrews dissents in xuhioh Fipch
 Judge Peckham writes the principal opinion in the three cases. It covers forty six pages of type written copy. He says in it, after reciting the character of the three cases:
 All the proceedings have for their ob- ject the decision of the question as to the validity of the apportionment act of 1892.
 The boards of supervisors, counties of Monroe and Oneida, are the only boards of the only counties in the State which have refused to make division of their counties into Assembly districts for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of the Act of 1899.
 This apportionment Act of 1892, it is alleged, violates the provisions of the con- stitution in several particulars and the court is called upon to decide the ques- tions involved at the earliest practicable moment in order that the supervisors and the election officers may be guided in the discharge of their duties by the opinion of this court.
 We have given all the considera- tion possible to these cases since the argument thereof, and while the questions are in themselves most important and far reaching, yet we are compelled by the necessities of the case to decide them at the earliest mo- ment. We, however, feel more compet- ent to do this because, however import ant the question may be, we think the proper and correct answers are quite plain and clear.

The Worlds Pair Coin.

From all accounts there is now sos te likelihood of the director of the mi21t getting to work at last on the souvenir coin designs for the Columbian exposi- ton. He has been bothered a great deal, and the officials who will be charged with getting the five million of souvenirs coined in time are consider ably put out about the frequent changes. Several times it was sup posed that the directors had finally made up their minds, but before the engraver could get fairly to work on one design he would receive an order to stop, as the worlds fair people had de- cided not to have the design upon which he was working, but some other. But Director General Davis is reported to have had a conference the other day with the dir ector of the mint and the engraver in charge of the coin. He gave that engraver two designs he had brought from Chicago, and after a very long discussion over the time required and the advisability of this, that and the other change the director general asked the engraver to have two dies made from the designs and to make from them two impressions, which would be submitted to the worlds fair people and they would once and for all decide upon one of them and the direc- tor could then go ahead.

CALLED COLUMBUS A LIAR.
Judge Tourgee's Attack on the Discovere
 at Detroit.

Judge AJIack on the DISCOVerer
 at Detroit.
 DETROIT, Mich, Oct. A. 4-"Columbus was liar" said Albion w, Tourgee in a lecture before 5000 people assembled in the Auditorium to celebrate the dis covery of America. Nor was this the m ost surprising sentence in the invec- tive Tourgee delivered against the navi- gator.
 Every act of his life was one of ego tism," he said, land intended to satisfy his greed of gain and fame.
 ''Everything he sailed on was wrong and he discovered America because he was lost and could not do otherwise.
 His every act was one of selfishness, and he stole the credit of first seeing land from his faithful sailor, who was on watch.
 He kept two logs, in order to deceive his crew. He was lavishing prom ises he never expected to keep. His prayers always concerned himself.
 His parents were thriftless, and are known to history only through the evi- dences of indebtedness they left. He was probably a Mediterranean pirate in his early days, and not single act of his life up to the time he was 50 years old was worthy of recording"
 These are only samples of MT. Tourgee's conclusions concerning Columbus. The people who heard him were non-plussed

DETECTIVE M'HENRY,s STORY.
Says He Was Only Trying to Pump the
 "GIobe " Reporter.

"GIobe " Reporter.
 PROVIDENCE, R. l., Oct 14-Private Detective McHenry, the author of the story published in the Boston "Globe," rega rding the Borden case, is now endeav- bring to show to the Fall River authori- ties that he was working in their behalf and that his intention was to trick the "Globe" reporter"
 He alleges that he felt that the reporter was playing part, and that he was try ing to find out just what the reporter was up to, and for whom he was work ing, intimating that the evidence in the case which the newspaper man was to buy was to be communicated to the de- fence in the Borden case.
 McHenry says:
 ''My only object in leading the reporter off on wild goose chase was to see if the surmise held by me and others was cor rect and, in order that the paper he rep resented might not be led into error, explicitly cautioned him not to publish anything without giving me twen ty- four hours notice.
 Having obtained all that I wanted from him, it was my desire to tell him, when he gave me the notice that I re- quired, that he had better not publish the story, as it was not true.
 "Instead of notifying me, he prom ised, he rushed the story into print and the result Is that the paper he represented was foolishly caught by plan which was intended solely to find out just where the reporter stood. and howl far he was aid ing the Government or the defence in his detective work"
 McHenry denies having received any money from the "Globe" man.

Bottom Goes From Under the Shore Line
 Track at East Haven.
 NEW HAVEN, Oct 14.-A hundred and fifty feet of the railroad track at Lake Saltonstall, four miles from here on the Shore Line in East Haven, sank six feet last night and disappeared in the lake. Passengers on the local trains are being transferred and the Boston & New York express trains are being run over the Air Line via Middleto VII and Say ybsook. The accident was caused by the action of the water in wearing away the bank. The road at this point ran between two divisions of the lake. The road bed has been there for forty years and has always been supposed to be solid. The rails were left standing without any support. The tracks sank at about 2 o'clock, just as the last Car of passing train cleared it.
