a Vision of the NIGHT.

Somebody in Washington has been
having q dream-perhaps after one Of
Chamberlin's dinners-in which he saw
tho President doing his level best to
divide the Blaine forces and make sure
Of his own nomination. The nightmare
in this dream must have been fiery and
untamed.
1t is with the President now as it
was with Mr.. Blaine before no wrote
his letter Of declination; all he has to
do is to do nothing, say nothing, and
the nomination will be his.
Mr.. Dlaine's friends accept his dccli-
nation as he intended it to be accepted.
They remember that in 1888 no refused
to reconsider after he had declined to
allow tho use OF his name.
After that declination Mr.. Blaine's
friends turned in and nominated Gen.
eral Harrison. They were Harrison
men then and they are Harrison men
now.
Then thoy supported Harrison in the
belief that he could be elected and
would mako Il good President. Now
they support him on the record OF his
brilliant campaign, his triumphant
election, his excellent administration,
and in the strong confidence that all
these things are to be repeated.
II any public man can afford to de-
vote his spare moments to fishing, duck
hunting and snipe-shooting, it is Ben
jamin Harrison. He has no reason
whatever to be uneasy aboutthe M
tional convention and what it may do.
That convention will do tho thing
which the Republican party expects it
to do, and Harrison will gracefully sue
coed himself.

The HOMESTEAD PLOT.


Poison Given TO Scare the Nom Union
Men.
PITTsBURG. Dec. 16.-The story of the
selection of the poison alleged to have
heR1 nSaa Ia the execution OF tho Home
stead plot was learned from an authori-
tative source. As has been stated, the
design was not to cause the death OF any
OF the non-union men bnt to produce
such an epidemic Of sickness as to cre-
ate panic among them and thus affect
stampede from the works. A pro-
longed discussion ensued among the
conspirators as to the kind of poison to
be used and 1t was finally decided to
consult druggist. The conspirators
represented that they wanted to disable
pugilist,so that he could not win fight
in which he was engaged. They were
asked II they wanted the drug to act
quickly or otherwise. It was stated that
they preferred something that would
take effect gradually, so as not to
arouse suspicion. The conspirators were
told that certain preparation could be
made that would gradually undermine
the strength, and il persisted in would
knock the victim in three or four days.
The formula Of the preparation was OBJ
tanned, and it 1t said the ingredients
were found in the samples of coffee and
soup which Were analyzed by the chem
lists OF the company at Braddock, Home
stead and Dnqnesae.

The Pope Irrit.ted.

ROME, Dec. IL. Much irritation exists
at the Vatican on account of the attacks
made by certain American Catholic
journals on the person and the mission
of Mgr. Satolh. 1t is learned that as
regards the opposition made to the
policy of the pope the Vatican may
cause an inquiry to be made into its
origin. The holy father is desirous that
his agents shall be respected, and that
his views OF pacifcation in the United
States shall be followed. If there be
any need Of it the pope will in this in
stance also take severe measures with
these who oppose his Intervention. It
Is believed here that the Vatican knows
whence the hostile American criticisms
proceed.

Warmer and Less ChaRgeable
Climate.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.--Dr. w. w.
johnson, Mr.. Blaine's physician, states
that there is no truth whatever in the
story that Mr.. Blaine is dying. The
doctor says that SO far as Mr.. Blaine's
condition being critical, the fact is, that
when he left his patient he was sitting
up in bed, feeling very comfortable,
and there has been SO little cause for
alarm that he Dr. Johnson) up to the
present time 90 a. m.) has not thought
IL necessary to repeat his visit.
This statement Of Mr.. Blaine's condi-
tion was confirmed by Mr.. j. Manley,
Of Augusta, Me-, his close friend,
who, before leaving Washington, had
chat with the ex-secretary, and said
that he left him discussing plans for
going away to some point not yet deter
mined.
The rumors as to Mr.. Blaine being in
extremis are supposed to have arison
from the fact that his daughter, Mrs.
Damrosch, has come over from New
York to see him, and are believed to
have originated in New York.
Inquiry was made at the Blaine man
sion by United Press reporter at 1916
q. m. and elected the information that
James g. Blaine, Jr., was not in, hav-
ing gone down to the Pennsylvania rail-
road depot presumably to see his sister,
Mrs. Damrosch, off for New York; The
servant who answered the bell said that
Mr.. Blaine had passed comfortable
night, had rested well and appeared to
be mot much better"
Impossible to Learn Anything
tits impossible to learn anything def
mite from Mr.. Blaine's physician or from
the members of his family in regard to
the precise condition Of Mr.. Blaine.
Inquiries at the house are met with the
response that Mr.. Blaine is getting
along nicely, and that he il s'resting
comfortably, and often that he is Every
much better" Intimate friends OF the
family who are familiar with the real
situation are almost equally reticent
on the subject OF Mr.. Blaine's
health. They are influenced, OF course,
by Mr.. Blaine's well known de-
sire to withhold all information
concerning his bodily ailment. It is
apparent to everybody at oil conversant
with the facts, however, that the mem

BOISE CRY, Dec. l6.-Early in May
Frank Fordice, a young stock baron Of
Idaho, will attempt to drive from the
