BLAINE OUT OF 1T.
Depew Says He Cannot Now Be
Nominated.

Depew Says He Cannot Now Be
Nominated.
NEW YORK, May 3d. Chauncey NJ.
Depew was asked by the Herald cor
respondent yesterday, VIII ether he had
understood any change had been made
in the political situation. He is quoted
as saying:
IL know of none. l think Mr.. Harri-
son will be renomiDated. The men who
are urging Mr.. Blaine to run are count
ing on Influencing the delegates
instructed for Mr.. Harrison.
Now, in my opinion, there
is no candidate but Harrison
possible so long as the Clarkson letter.
which Is, in effect, letter to all Repub-
licans-stands. 1t does not matter what
construction may be put on it by com
mentators, it took Mr.. Blaine out of the
race. A Bible reader, as general
thing, sticks close to the text. no matter
what the commentator may say"
"You evidently are not in sympath Y
with the movement to nominate
Blaine?"
81 am not, because l don't believe
Mr.. Blaine would take the place. / am
a great friend of Mr.. Blaine. The men
who are leading this movement are his
enemies. l have worked for Mr.
Blaine for many years. talked with
him while he was here, and he discussed
the financial situation and the
affairs of the country with candOr.
clearness and all his rare force
of mind. But he did not drop a
word on which to base the slightest
suspicion that he had changed his
mind. When talk with the men who
say he must be nominated, ask them
if they have reason to think he has
changed his mind, and they say. no."
"Has he written another letter ?"

A BET OF a THOUSAND
Which Senator Villas Says He
Didn't Make.

WASHINGTON. May ga story was
printed this morning detailing with
good deal of circumstance talk be-
tween d Democratic senator. and local
Democratic politician upon the result
of the Minneapolis convention. The
senator was reported to have bet $1,000
even money that President Harrison
would be renominatei. No names were
given, but gossip on ''the row" connect
ed Senator Villas with the matter. A
reporter asked the Wisconsin senator if
there was any authority for the use of
his name.
Not at ALL" he responded. 81 do not
bet, and / very much doubt that any
such transaction as reported ever too ok
place. The story may have grown out
of a conversation in the senate cloak
room one day last week. When was
talking to a senator. remarked, In
joking way. 'I'll bet thousand dollars
to match that President Harrison will
be renominated at Minneapolis which
! believe will be the result"
Senator Villas said also that the report
of a conference of Cleveland leaders in
this city tomorrow for the purpose Of
agreeing upon the name of person to
be associated with the Cleveland ticket
as candidate for vice president, named
him as a member of the conference, was
the first he had heard OF any such gath
ering, and he had not even seen within
recent weeks some of the gentlemen
named in connection with it.
Il would not presume" said Senator
Villas, "to engage in such a conference
for the purpose. The selection of can
didates is wholly for the convention to
make, and these alleged conferences
do not result in anything material"

SUCKED HIS BLOOD
Because He Could Find No Water
to Drink.

Ell. PAso, May 29.-News reached this
city late last night that William q.
Bailey and family had been lost OH the
plains west of this city. Palomas is a town
in Mexico, siXty-five miles west of Ell
Paso. William e. Bailey, well-to-do
citizen of PalOmas, accompanied by
his young wife and Mexican boy, left
PalOmas two weeks ago to come to Ell
PasO to purchase supplies. They ar
rived here on time, made their pur
chases in JuareZ and Ell PaSO, and eight
days ago started on their return home.
Thirty-eight miles southwest of Ell
PasO they lost their way, and were
without water. The Mexican boy was
sent out with the wagon and horses to
hunt water for them. While searching
for water the horses got away from him.
Wednesday night last the boy arrived
at Palomas. He was almost entirely
naked and had bullet wound i'll one of
his legs. He had failed to find water,
and when the horses escaped from him
he started out on foot for PalomaS to
send assistance to Mr.. Bailey. He was
suffering for water, and to quench his
thirst, he shot himself in the leg and
sucked the blood from the wound and
drank it. A rescuing party from among
the Mexican soldiers stationed at
Palomas started in search for Mr..
Bailey and wife. Friday evening
at dusk the party found Mrs. Bailey
with the wagon at the point where the
horses were sent off for water. She
stated that her husband left her yester-
day morning to return for horses and
water.
The rescuing party came to Juarez
but failed to find Mr.. Bailey. 1t is pos
sible that he lost his way and has per-
shed in the mountains.

BLAINE ON The FIRST.
Senator Quay Thinks the
Maine Man Sure Of the
Nomination.

The New York Herald Finds

RefutatiOn Of the Rumop That
Floridians Will Desert
Grandpa'S Hat.

PTTSBURG, May 29.-The Commercial
Gazette, the recognized Quay organ of
this city, will say tomorrow that Senator
Quay thinks Blaine will be the nominee
OF the Minneapolis convention, and that
he will be nominated on the first ballot.
In an interview today Senator Quay
spoke more freely and positively on the
presidential situation than he has on
any previous occasion that has been re-
corded in public print.
who do you think the Republican
convention will nominate for preSi-
dent?" was asked the senator.
BLAINE was the prompt reply, and
as Mr.. Quay uttered the name of the
secretary, he leaned forward in the arm
chair in which he was resting, and
added, ''that Is, of course. provided he
will lake the nomination"
'Do you think he will accept it?"
Nobody but Mr.. Blaine himself can
answer that question, but he can
scarcely afford to turn deaf ear to the
Gail of his party
What do you think of the New York
story that the Blaine vote will be held
back until the convention sees Harri-
sons nomination cannot be made?
Il look upon that as one of the many
finely woven, imaginary tales that are
being scattered over the country about
Blaine. l believe he will be nominated
on the first ballot"
What state do you expect will first
put Blaine in nomination."
Il cannot venture prediction on
that; there are Blaine men in every
state, and one Of the first few called is
likely to lead the Blaine list"
"if Blaine is nominated. who, in your
opinion, will be given the second place
OF the ticket?"
''Oh. that is an after consideration;
there are many good men to pick from;
really have not given the matter any
SeriOus thOught" "

TO DENMARK'S KING.
Flags, Flowers and Twigs in
Great Procession.

COPENHAGEN, May 29.-The celebra-
tion of the royal golden wedding was
continued today. An immense pro-
cesslon, containing 100000 citizens and
provincial visitors, marched to the
Amalienburg castle in the afternoon.
There were III different associations
represented in the procession, with
hundreds of banners and flags and
many bands of music. The windows
and sidewalks along the route were
crowded with people, who showered
flowers on the procession. In the
students section of the marching col
umn every individual carried branch
of beech tree. giving that part of the
procession the appearance of moving
forest bedecked with flowers, and form
ing with the street decorations a pretty
picture. The procession entered the
castle grounds at 5 O'Clock. The king
and queen, with the members of their
family and the mauy royal guests, were
stationed on red, draped balcony on
the first floar, where they received the
homage and congratulations of the
marching multitude. To the students
the king addressed few words. The
march past occupied three hours and
was viewed by the whole royal party.

LOTS OF GOSSIP,
With Apparently Very Little to
Found 1t On.

With Apparently Very Little to
Found 1t On.
WASHINGTON, May 29.-The return
of Mr.. Blaine to Washington transferred
today from New York to the national
capital the center of interest in
the presidential campaign. There were
all sorts of rumorS current today and
tonight respecting the intentions of the
secretary of state, and, so far as could
be learned, they are without fOInda-
ton. One was that he had determined
to resign from the cabinet, another that
he has prepared statement setting
forth his intentions with respect to
the nomination, third was that with
friends he was holding a conference
To determine upon 4 course of action.
As stated, hone of these proved to be
well founded. Tie secretary remained
at home until late in the afternoon,
when, in pursuit of an engagement of
some DAYS standing, in company with
Miss Dodge, he took dinner with Repre-
sentative and Mrs. Hit, and spent the
evening there.
There were number of callers at the
residence of the secretary, among them
Secretary Elkins. The latter declined
TO speak of his conversation with MI.
Blaine further than to say that he
(Blaine)talked all through of his nomina-
ton as he has done many times pre-
vi0usly in the past few months.
The gossip was considerably aug
mented at a late hour tonight by the
unexpected arrival in the city of eX-
Senator Platt, of New York. Mr..
Platt's visit was wholly divorced from
politics. He came here to visit his son
and daughter-in-law, and to return to
New York with Mrs. Platt, who has
been the guest of her children for some
time.
Immediately upon the arrival at the
hotel, Mr.. Platt repaired to the Tolm of
his son and declined to see any news
paper men.
Among the visitors in the city today
was ex-senator Palmer, Of Michigan,
president of the Columbian exposition
commission. He was asked his opinion
of the presidential situation, and re-
sponded briefly:
II have been travelling over the
country a good deal recently, and have
no more doubt of President HarrisoD's
denomination and reelection than l
have of my own existence"
MIR. Palmer left tonight for the West.
An advance movement upon Minneap-
oils has fairly set in. Those leaving the
city tonight are to be there for the pre-
lIminary convention. The members of
congress who are delegates and repreScn-
tatives generally will 20 on Wednesday.
Senator Stockbridge, of Michigan, will
take a small party of friends from the
capitol, leaving in special car Wednes-
day afternoon. The party will include
Senators Quay, Gallinger, of New Hamp-
shire; FELTON,, California; Sawyer, Wis
IL. e -
and Burrows, of Michigan. The cor
respondents train will leave here
Wednesday over the Pennsylvania road,
reaching Minneapolis Friday morning.

BILLY IS VERY ANGRY,
BUT He win Consent to Meet the
Gear,

SL6Is
BERLIN, May 29.-lt is now reported
that the czar will cross over from Co.
penhagen Thursday, hold haif-hour
interview with the emperor in the
latter city and return to the
Danish capital. Preposterous as the
report is it is generally credited here.
The truth is that nobody except the
czar knows exactly what the cZar in
tends doing. The following has sprung
up suddenly: The relations between
the two countries, for an unknown rea-
son, are again exceedingly strained, and
whether the czar and emperor meet OF
not, serious trouble is threatening.
The emperor is smarting under the in
suit implied for him in the cars care
less changes of plan without the slight
est regard for previous engagements In
Berlin, and personally would be pleased
if he never should see the cZar's face
again. At the same time he is eager to
have his visit of two years ago re-
turned, in order that the cars
dislike may be concealed from the
world. Consequently, should the cZar
come, he would now be received with
codness approaching rudeneSs, and
should he stay away all courtesles be-
tween the courts would be ended by the
SnuO. The bitterness OF Berlin TO-
wards the car is very intense.
Among the soldiers of the empire
anleffort is Emade to hide the truth,
The cZar's conduct is an insult to the
emperor, and confidence is expressed
that should the czar try makeshift
like the proposed one at Kiel. the en-
peror would let him feel the full weight
of a Hohenzollern's resentment. Tho
officers of the Berlin and Potsdam
garrisons do not mince words in the
matter, but say that if the czar
is not ready to give any assurances OF
peace, the word for war might better be
spoken at once while Russia is stagger-
ing in bankruptcy and famine. The
events of this week are awaited with
the keenest interest, as the develop
ments arc expected to be more signifi-
cant than any since the visit of the En-
press Frederick in Paris.

CASE OF DIR. BRIGGS.
Resolution Disposing of 1t to
Come Up in Day
or Two.
Some Curious Complications That
Have Arisen in the
Case.

PORTLAND, Or, May 29.-With the
ending of the briggs case" the Presby-
terian assembly comes to the ''How is it
regarded by those atfected?' The prose-
cution are jubilant because they have
got all that they demanded. They are
satisfied. and will return to New York
to renew their work. though they dis
claim that they have any "zeal'' in the
matter. The position of the conserva-
tives is that of partial satisfaction, some
being dissatisfied because the case was
not brought to an absolute decision
on the spot. In conversation DR..
Briggs called attention to the anomalous
position which he occupied in the ap-
peal case. The real defendant was the
presbytery of New York, though for
reasons entirely technical he was COM
PEELED to appear and defend the action,
which really damaged him. Being sec
ond ''original party" in the case, he had
to resist the appeal which was brought
by other ..original parties" although
the appeal was not against him nor
anything which he had done, but
solely against the preSbytery'S ac-
the presbytery should proceed
with the trial under sufficient charges,
but to those which he had been called
to plead he had grave objections. EX-
pressing his own personal views, a
prominent officer of the assembly said:
"a man who is accused of stealing
chickens objects to being tried for steal
ing horse"
The same man said that if the judi
cial committee had gone to the trouble
to read the real record of the case,
instead of relying on a printed
copy prepared by the prosecution.
they would have been compelled
to report against the entertain
ing of the appeal because of its
similarity, not to say identity with the
complaint of the same parties with
others now pending before the synod of
Moderator Young had no voice, being
debarred bv the constitution. but he
expressed himself today as satisfied
with the action taken.
DR.. Smith, chairman of the judicial
committee, declined TO express an opln-
ion. The vote to sustain the appeal was
so large that the general sentiment is
that Of satisfaction. but those who for
constitutional reasons voted for the
appeal in toto are preparing a formal
protest, which will be largely signed
and will be entered upon the minutes:
The business of tomorrow in the
Briggs case is only formal. A resolu-
tion disposing of the case will be offered
early and it is not expected that there
will be much discussion, but the word
ing of it is regarded as important and
the interests of all parties will be care
fully guarded. The order for 10 o'clock
is supplementary report of the theo-
logical seminaries committee. 1t is
almost identical with the report sub
mitted some days ago and will scarcely |
be conducive of harmony, which was
desired. 1t is self-contradictory in its |
and will be assailed on this |
ground. The rest of the business seS-
sion will be hurried through because of |
a growing desire of the commissioners
to return to their homes.

NEARLY HALF A MILLION.
Immense Loss From San Fran
cisco Iron Works Fire,

SAN FRANCISCO, May ga fire to-
day destroyed the Fulton iron works,
Hammond car works, Van Brakes brass
foundry, and number of small frame
buildings, causing loss of $4,000. In
surance, $4,000. The fire started in the
Fulton iron works, on Howard street,
between Beale and Fremont, and
spread rapidly to the Hammond car
works and other manufactures, occu-
pying half square of building. all of
which were frame structures and were
totally destroyed. The fire ragged for
several hours. Most Of the damage is
to expensive machinery. The Fulton
iron works lose $3.50, 1000: Hammond car
works $4,000, and the remainder is di-
vided between VanDrake's foundry and
large number of small concerns. One
man was severely injured by falling
from a third story window. The Full
ton iron works and Hammond car
works were once before burned out
four years ago.

down almost side by side. One of them
was badly injured in the fall, while the
other escaped without scratch. Moth
ing escaped the storms fury, and the
great damage is not only done to houses
and crops and trees. but thousands OF
dollars worth of stock has been killed
and injured. The nucleus of the tor
nado began forming few miles west Of
here at $50, and for over an hour the
clouds moved about in great agitation,
having a northwestern tendency. At
3:40 the tornado assumed its character
istic shape and at once commenced its
work of destruction, leaving ruin and
devastation in its trail. 1t struck this
city regular brOadside. Its greatest
force was in the northern portion. where
the destruction is complete. ~
1t is impossible at present to estimate
the entire loss sustained by the city and
surrounding country with any degree
OF accuracy, but men who have Travelled
over it's course say that it will not fall
far short of 100000. Not more than
six out of the 500 or 900 residences OF
the city have escaped damage, but
large majority of them are only slightly
damaged. 1t has been estimated that
nearly 80 house are total wrecks, while
as many more are badly damaged, The
Harper Mercantile company building
is complete wreck, and nearly all its
extensive stock of general merchandise
is ruined.
The amount of cyclone insurance in
the town is very light, while in the
country it is comparatively nothing.
Another serious loss is the new $4,000
school house. which is total and COM
plete wreck from foundation to roof.
The storm struck the cemetery, and
swept down fully two-thirds of the.
tombstones and monuments, break
ing many of them. There is
scarcely residence recOgniZa-
BILE as such on Central avenue from
the Presbyterian church north. About,
all the stores in the north half of the
city are in ruins and their contents
greatly damaged. MANY of the people
are not only destitute of shelter, but of
food and clothing as well. A relief
committee has been organized with
Hon. John Watts as chairman, and the
formal proclamation was issued by the
mayor, reciting the distress of the peO-i

The BIG SUGAR TRUST.
1t Is Forcing the German
Producers to Keep Their
Raw Sugar.
One Hundred Thousand Tons
Stored at Hamburg and
Other Points.
The Trust Trying to BeaJ
Ipices to RidieulouSly
! Low Figures.
Some Talk That German Capr
italists Will Start Refin-
cries in Frisco.

BERLIN. May 29.-Last year s., ,673, ,899
worth OF sugar was exported to Amer.
lea from the consular Jurisdiction OF
Berlin Gncluding the two great sugar
centers, Hamburg and Magdeburg) dur.
ing the quarter ending March 81. Dur
ing the corresponding quarter of this
year not one pound of sugar was export.
ed. One hundred thousand tons of raw
sugar are stored at Hamburg, and an
equal amount is held at Lubbock, Stettin
and in the manufacturing districts. The
German merchants and producers wish
to sell, but no buyers appear. 1t is
very unusual situation, and many
reasons have been given for its
existence. The Associated Press CORE
spondent thought it wise to make a
thorough investigation of the German
markets in order to find out how the
situation might possibly affect the
American sugar consumers. From the
statements of many of the leading sugar
dealers it was learned that the American
sugar trust is purposely keeping away
from the German markets in order to
s'Bear'' Raw Products.
The trust hopes to buy the German
stock of sugar very cheaply in the end.
The German merchants and producers,
on the other hand, hope and believe
that the Americans will eventually be
forced to come into the market, and
that IN such an event prices will
rise rapidly. Should this prove to
be the case, then the price of refined
sugar would naturally go up in the
United States. Among the many opin-
ions expressed, that of Carl Hager,
editor OF the leading organ of the sugar
producers, is significant. He thought it
likely that the continued absence of the
American buyers from the German mar
ket might be due TO a plan of the trust
to depress the German markets. If
such was the case the German produe-
ers would meet the American combina-
ton with trust of their own. They
would combine and place their entire
output in the hands of one selling
office. and would not let pound go be-
low a reasonable price. There is some
little talk of German capital starting re-
ineries in San Francisco and handling
the Sandwich island sugar in opposition

SMOKELESS POWDER.
The Austrian Article Best Suits
the Turks.

LONDON, May 29.-Turkey has fallen
into line with the other nations in the
matter of experimenting with smoke
less powder. and military commission
has been sitting at Constantilople to ln-
vestigate the merits of th4 various i'll
ventions in that line. The result is just
announced. The commission report that
they have tested samples of all makes,
and have found that adopted by the
Austrian government to be far superior
to any other in use. The French smoke
less powder is dismissed as very in
ferior article, and the German is spoken
of as very little better than the French.
These conclusions are likely to lead to
some new inquiries into the value of
these powders by the governments
which have been congratulating them
selves on the possession of the best OBJ
tainable article. The Turkish govern
ment will doubtless accept the report as
final and adopt the Austrian powder.
