James G.. Blaine, the statesman and
idol of the Republican party, died in
Washington on friday morning of last
week, caused by II chronic affection of
the kidneys. lie Was 63 years old.
Mr.. Blaine las beei the slnewdest poll
tical leader in his party for years but
had enough strong enemies in his own
party TO hinder him from reaching the
goal OF his ambition, the Presidency.
Mr.. blaine had that dash of diplomacy
about him that attracted the applause
Of the masses and gained their good
will but there were many OF the abltst
men in his " party who distrusted
him, undoubtedly because of his shrew-
ness in his MT committing himself in
many ways 50 that they did not know
where he stood OF that lie may have
stood in sCme one else's way. lie is to
the Republican patty what Henry Clay
was 10 the Wing party, and Iheir ambi-
lions were both the same and both fail
I'd to reach the White House.

Won hy Yale.

NEW LONDON, July 1.-yale's mighty
oarsmen beat Harvard's brawny eight
yesterday by four lengths in the
grandest and hardest race ever pulled.
Up to the last quarter mile OF the
four mile course the crimson wearer'
seemed to be sure Of the victory. Then
the young giants in blue responded to
the word for squirt and the Harvards
we're first overhaulcd and then passed
almost as though they were standing
still. Then the Yales kept it up, and
when the finish was reached they were
four lengths ahead.
Up to the last half mile Harvard had
the lead, but the pace was too fast The
crimson boat shivered. shuddered and
finally collapsed after resigning the lead
when the race was three-quarters over.
The blue oars, on the other hand, grew
steadier with every stroke, and at the
close were sending the boat along at
one of the strongest, most uniform and
steadiest rates ever travcrsed by Yale

GROVER CLEVELAND.
The president left here at 4:20 over
the PENNSYLVANIA railroad for Buz-
yards Bay, Mass. He will be absent
from the capital three weeks or more,
his stay depending on circumstances.
Secretary Lamont accompanied the
president as far as New York. The pres
ident's determination to leave the city
was only reached in the morning and
his departure SO suddenly leaves num-
Der of important appointments agreed
upon unsigned, and many senator's and
congressman, who have recently ar
rived, in the lurch. 1t is understood
that the president will transact only
the most urgent business while at Buz'
Yards Bay and what official announce
ments are TO be made will be given out
ut the executive mansion in Washing
ton.
Most of the cabinet have followed
the presidents example and left the
city, or are leaving the city. for briet
vacations. Those who remain say the
presidents proclamation speaks for it
self and decline to discuss the situation
further.

Those LEFTOVER souvenir Coins.

CHICAGO. July 1.-The worlds fair
officials authorize the statement that
there is no truth in the report that the
government has determined to pay out
the $50, 900 reserve belonging to the
exposition from the United States ap-
preparation. A facsimile of the treasury
building will be erected in the admin
istration building and the souvenir
coins placed on sale. How the report
rot out that the government intended
to issue this money, s570, oO0. in souvenir
coins, thus practically throwing them
on the market, the fair officials do not
seem to know, and the statement is not
only authoritatively denied by the
treasurer of the exposition, but such
action would. in the opinion OF able
lawyers, be entirely illegal

Leaders Consulting ~ to the Work of the
Extra Session-Financial Legislation.
WASHINGTON, July 5.-Crisp is in
town. Carlisle sent for him. and Cleve-
land told Carlisle to do it, Carlisle and
Crisp talked for an, hour behind locked
doors. The subject discussed was the
personnel and particularly the chair
manship of the next coinage COM
mittce. As everyone knows Bland was
chairman OF the committee last session,
and until yesterday, while the matter
was never especially discussed, no one
has seemed to doubt but Bland would
be the chairman next session. There
is. however. doubt and a vigorous
growing one.
Cleveland is determined to win this
fight He has made up his mind that
the sherman law. free coinage and sim
liar measures existing and proposed
nre national evils. He has determined
that the Sherman law shall be repealed,
and repealed, too, without conditions;
and Cleveland is determined that Bland
shall express himself as favoring the
administration methods in this matter
or he will brush him aside just as in a
former term he overthrow that vastly
greater figure, Samuel j. Randall,
Clevelands last word from Bland
came through Senator Vest. Vest asked
Bland if he would consent to the repeal
of the sherman law without conditions
or substitute. Bland said he would
not. Vest then asked if as substitute
he would take coinage bill which
would coin ., 5OO,0 silver dollars every
month. Bland said he would consent
to nothing less than 81, 600, 900 month.
Cleveland would not agree to $4,000, 600,
which would be practically victory
for free coinage, being all it's adherents
were asking, and now he will not con-
sent to 81, 500. 900, or any amount what
ever as a condition on which to repeal
the Sherman law.
He has decided that the only proper
safe course is to repeal the Sherman
law and decide on q financial system
afterward-and this is what Cleveland
will insist on. Nor will he be senti-
mental about now he carries out his
policy. He regards the country rs Sc
riously menaced, and will not split
hairs in its defense.

WASHINGTON. July Treasury Off.
Gals are deep in the mystery OF figures,
closing up the vast money accounts OF
the government for the fiscal year OF
1929. The figures will show in
round numbers that the total receipts
for the year have aggregated sSS', OOO,.
900. while the expenditures will
foot up $685.. 100000, leaving a
surplus Of receipts above ex'
penditures of s2.OO0,0 900. This
was the estimate submitted by Secre-
tary Foster to congress as the probable
surplus of the fiscal year closed yester-
day, and results prove it to have been
prophetically accurate. In this esti-
mate, however, Mr.. Foster did not take
into account the payment of the Chero-
kee Indian claim of 100000 Had
this not been paid the receipts would
have been $1,000, 900 in excess OF the ex'
Denditures.

Then Marshal Dana caught one arm
of the noted outlaw and officer Wright
another, while Detective Atkinson COW

you got the drop on me or there would
have been some cOrpses around here.
The same officers then went to Col
orado City and captured Kid Wilson.

and would have made n desperate re-
sistance if the officers had not first COW
cred him with pistols.

an attempt was made to interview them
but without success
After the arrest the officers went to
the Spaulding house and woke up the
woman, who was registered rs Mrs.
jackson, but who is really the wife OF

under the pillow was found 81, 46O in
rreenbacks. which had never been

revolver of 3S-caliber. She was closely
questioned ;rnd admitted that the man
who was captured was Henry Starr and
that the name of the other one was Kid
Wilson.
There is n reward OF $4,000 for the
capture of the men.
