WON'T TELL HIS VIEW
Cleveland Declares Again He Will
Not Discuss the Preslden-
tial Candidates.


Buzzard's Bay, Sept. 22.-While most
ex-politicians are giving publicity to
their views r.garding the Presidential
campaign. Grover Cleveland is apparent
ly not concerning himself one bit over it,
His passivity is indeed quite remarka-
BILE, and many have been the attempts
made to get him to express an opinion
one way or the other.
The mos recent was that made by q
World repr sent. tive, who day or two
ago visited the ex-President and endeav-
Ored to elicit declaration of his posi-.
ton, which had become especially impOr-
tant in view of Mr.. Olney's recent deviv-
erance.
To tnis demand by the newspaper man
Mr.. Cleveland made brief and emphat-
10 reply-so brief and emph attic as to
leave N doubt that he has assumed a po-
sitiOn in the matter the fixity of which he
will not permit to be disturbed.
81 do not intead to make any declara.
tion," he said, with a shake of his head
that meant as much il not more than his
words, "and do not wish that the Amer
lean people should be Influenced by my
action. / am a private citiZen-nOt a
public man-and am not going to give
any advice to the American people.
81 don propase to tell anybody what
my position is-whether it is charged OF
whetherit is not. l am not going to say
anything. 1 am not going to be persuaded
to declare myself, and what l say is fl
nal.
II have made up my mid to say abso
lutely nothing at all, aud won't be per
suaded to change 1t now."

ABOUT MISS JEWETT.
Prof Cooke. of Hollins, Writes
Concerning Her Career.

|
CONCERNING Her Career.
In view of the fact that many sto-
ries haye become current concerning
the career of Miss Lillian Clayton
Jewett while at Hollins, Professor
Cooke, principal of the school, has
written the letter below, concerning
her, TO the Richmond Dispatch. Miss
Jewett, it will he remembered, is the
young woman of Boston who recently
came before the public in the capacity
of a champion of the negro Her
course has been observed with unusu-
al interest, but none are surprised at
learning that her mind has been
unbalanced. Professor Cooke says
Several illusions TO this now noto-
rious lady having appeared in tho
secular press, connecting her name
with this school, it is proper to make
known the fscts in the case.
Miss Jewett did not receive her
scholastic training at IIollins. She
was entered at the school by n gen
tleman having official connection with
Harvard University, who expressed
aoprehensions as To her physical
condition, with the hope that change
of climate would restore her To health.
She reached the Institute on the 10th,
day of September 1895, an on the
9th, of November, 1895, she was sent
to Jersey City unde7 escort OF our
resident physician, and there com
mitted to the custody of relative,
who had been requested To meet her.
On her entrance into this school
she seemed To be in good health and
spirit, and was assigned To regular
classes. Indeed, she was really Joy
GUS under her new associations and
surrou ldings, but in few days.
however, she exhibited symptoms of
seriour nervous troubles, and was
seut to our inlrmary for treatment.
Temporary relief was afforded, and
she returned TO her classes. But
these nervous troubles again returned
and the same treatment was repeated
several times during her short stay.
They finally ecamo SO violent that
1T became improper to continue her
in school.
Against her most earnest protests
we sent her To her relatives on the
9th, of November, as above stated.
During her brief sojourn here she
manifested the highest respect and
ardent affection for those with whom
she was associated, especially the
officers of the school.
She seemed to be n young lady of
generous sympathies and ardent af-
fections We regret that her mental
alteration has led her to such unhap-
py Developments. We think she is
more To be pitied than condemed,
and by no means encouraged in her
present mania.

Chinese Complications.

IL is perfectly evident that the
Powers are not in harmony on the
Chinese question. The full text of
the American reply to the Russian
and German notes has Just been Civ
en- to the public and enough is known
to show that it will be very difficult
to harmonize conflicting viows and
agree on any definite line of action.
Germany is still bcsct on carrying on
hostilities and refuses to enter upon
the peace negotiations until the au
thors OF the outrages on foreigners
shall be delivered up by the Chinese
government. IL Is not To be believed
that the Chinese government will
surrender these men to the foreigners
Tor many of them are high In author.
ity and stand high in favor with the
Empress Dowager. II is singular
position for Germany to assume thai
the main point in controversy be con
ceded before negotiations can begin,
1t is now known that the United
States government rejects the pro
grammc laid down by Germany and
1t is by no means certain that any
compromise plan can be devised
which will secure the hearty cooper
alton of all the powers. Great Brit
ain is said to be in accord with Ger
many, while Russia and the United
States seem To be actuated by iden-
tical motives. Neither of these
powers desires the partition of China.
France may be expected to side with
Russia, and Japan is Interested in
preserving the integrity of the Chi
nese Empire. What the loutcome of
all these complications will be can
not be foreseen by the wisest states.
man, 1t has been reported that the
Empress Dowager had expressed a
Willingness to return TO Pekin If the
powers would guarantee her safety.
but they are unwilling or unable To
give satisfactory guarantee, and
therefore she will not return to the
capital so long as it Is occupied by
the foreign troops. II Is also re-
ported that the Empress Dowager is
willing to consent to the appointment
of Prince Ching as regent. That re-
port lacks plausibility, for it is not
believed that this ambitious woman
would surrender control unless bv
compulsion. If the powers cannot
be brought to act in harmony one
course is open to the United States
government, and that is To withdraw
the American army from Pekin, recall
the American minister from that clty
and await developments. The army
might be withdrawn to some coast
city, or even to Manila, and If any
emergency should arise demanding
the presence of American troops in
ChinH, it would require very short
time to transport them from Manila
to any point on the Chinese coast,
for there are enough wsrships and
transports in Eastern waters to per-
form this work at short notice. At
any rate. it is hoped that the United
States will not be involved in any
international disputes with Germany
or any other power growing on. of
Chinese complications.-Lynchbur

Greenwich, Conn, May 17.-One of the
most disastrous fires that ever visited
this village took place last night and re-
suited in the total destruction of five
business blocks, including the postoflice
building, st. Mary's Roman Catholic
church, a stable and gas house on the
. estate of E. c. Benedict and considerable
damage to other property. The total
loss is estimated at $4,000 with insur-
ance of less than half that amount. The
fire was of most threatening nature,
and during its progress two serious eX
plosions occurred, but fortunately there
were no casualties. Aid was summoned
from Stamford and Portchester, and it is
estimated that upward of 10000 people
came from both of these places to wit
ness the confiagration. The fire started
in the basement of ]. III. Ray & Sons
hardware and carriage repository, three
story brick structure on Greenwich ave-
nue.. 1t was caused by a small boy who
was sent to the basement to draw five
gallons of gasoline accidentally dropping
either a lighted lamp or a candle.
