The news of the resignation ot Secretary Blaine created a profound sensation at the CapitoL The Senate was not in session, but the House r as in the throes of filibustering against the anti-options bilL The effect of the re ception of the Associated Press bulletin announcingthe event was magical. The tele gram was read by the Speaker and by Bep resentative Dinj-ly, and almost instantly the news spread over the hall like a wave of sound. "Within two minutes the space in front of the desk was filled by a throng of Representatives struggling to get a glimpse of the bit of yellow paper, which "ft as snatched from one hand to another. The Speaker left the chair temporarily, delegating his duties to Representative Johnstone, of South Carolina, and the lat ter soon found that he had assumed an nlmot impossible task in endeavoring to keep order in the House while it labored under the strain of excitement. The clerks were calling the roll on some motion to take a recess until some unreasonable hour in the evening, but their voices could scarcely be heard over and above tin hum of con sultation and the tones of ejaculation. The effect was discouraging to the pending business. An Exchange of Opinions. Then came the comparison of Tiews, Democrats and Republicans gathering in knots in the rear of the seat, and putting their heads together in consultation. "What does it mean?" was the qnestion in every month. It did not take the Demo crats long to decide what view to take ot of the matter as to the initial stage. 'It means that Blaine is standing for the nom ination," said one and alL Bnt when it came to the secondary result the effect on the Democratic convention there was, of course, a division of opinion. ) Said Representative Dockcry, of Mis noun: "Fate is with us. It means that "Blaine is the nominee, and Blaine can never he elected." Mr. Savers, of Texas Set it down that jBlaine will be nominated and beaten. Sain Mr. MeKinney, representing the '"Sc England Democracy, his face fairly radian We have cot them. Blaine will be nominated, and, of course, we will nom- inate Cleveland. He beat Blaine once, and can do it again. "Mr.VHon Democrat, Virginia, remarked sententinusly: "It means a rupture in the Republican party, and that means Demo cratic ictory." FI'okh Thinks Blaine Wants It. Colonel Fellows, Democrat, of "New York, could see no other reason for Mr. Blaine's resignation than that he wanted the nomina tion. The action of the Secretary, Mr. Fel lows thought, would weaken him in some quarters. His general observation was that Sir. Blaine would be willing "to take the nomination if tendered to himi'" Just as Colonel Fellows finished speaking a New York Republican, Representative Curtis, came up, and Mr. Fellows said to him: "What do ou Republicans mean?" Mr. Curtis responded: "It will take the nomination out of Indiana, but Blaine will not get it." Representative Boatner, Democrat, of Louisiana, said: "It means Blaine is a straightout candidate for the nomination. It is the best thing that could happen for the Democratic partv." Representative Bland, Democrat, of Mis souri, said he supposed "it means war be tween Harrison and Blaine and others. It poty result in the defeat of both, and in the sefection of some other candidate. It seems to be cbndjiolicy lor the Republicans to name some other person than Blaine or Harrison. The resignation puts Mr. Blaine m the attitude of opposition to the nomina tion of President Harrison." 1 he Programme Being Carried Out Representative Rockwell, Democrat, of "New York, said the programme for the last ten davs had been that Blaine should be " Lent out of the race up to this point, and that programme had been made with his assent and assistance. He did not think that either Blaine or Harrison could be 'nominated. It had come to be a fight between the Harrison and the anti-Harrison people, and Mr. Blaine, he thought, would lend his assistance to Quay and Piatt in the effort to defeat Mr. Harrison. Mr. Blaine ielt that he Lad not been treated right by the President; and, besides, there was known to be a social feud between Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Blaine that must have its eflect on the Secretary. Representative "Wilcox, Democrat, of Con necticut, said he thought that Mr. Blaine had intended to be a candidate for some time. The contention between Harrison and Blaine would be very close, but Mr. Blaine was now convinced h"e would be nominated, otherwise he would hardly have resigned. He did not think that Blaine would be as strong a candidate as Harrison. Blaine's course in declining to be a candidate in a a written letter, and now resigning for the purpose of standing for the nomination, would be certain to give serious offense to Mr. Harrison and his friends, and also to some ot Mr. Blaine's former friends who had committed themselves to other candidates alter the publication of his letter. A racllonal right "Predicted. . Mr. Bryan, Democrat, Nebraska, thought the Blaine and Harrison forces would fight itoutiu the contention, and whichsoever was nominated his chances of election would be weakened. Mr Durborrow, Democrat. Chicago, said: It looks like Blaine is out for it. Mr. Cummings, Democrat,of 2Tew York It settles the qnestion. It means Blaine' nomination at Minneapolis,and the liveliest jcina ot a campaign. Mr. McKae, Democrat, of Arkansas, thought the letter was the culmination of bud blood, but, he did not think Blaine wanted the nomination. Mr. Znloe, Democrat, of Tennessee, thought it meant Blaine'e nomination, bnt Mr. Blaine, according to Mr. Enloe, '"is carr ing diplomacy to a point which in our section of the country would he called square lying." It was diplomacy like that practiced by Minister.Egan. Mr. Pierce, Democrat, of Tennessse, was of the opinion that Mr. Blaine was sharp enough to tec the hands of his opponenti before he tendered his resignation. Mr. O'Ferrall, Democrat, Virginia, is con fident that it means Blaine's nomination, and thatnomination makes doublr snre the nomination ot Cleveland, of which he never had the slightest doubt Blaine' Fellow Statesmen Speak. Mr. Dimley, Mr. Blaine's fellow states man, washi a thoughtful mood. Said he: "I must decline to express an opinion with out being more fully, aware of the causes which led to the resignation. I think the natural inlcrence would be that Mr. Blaine would not refuse to accept the nomint tion." 3Ir. Milliken, Republican, of Maine I think it means Mr. Blaine's nomination and ejection. Mr. Blaine has never wanted to be President during this campaign, at least. He did not want to be nominated in 1881. I kpow that from mr own personal relations with him. It he allows his name to be presented now, as I think he will, it i because of an overwhelming call of the party to do so. I have no doubt that his letter to Chairman Clarkson was absolutely sincere, and if he is nominated now, as I believe he will be, it will be because so many Republicans haTe urged upon him the duty of doing so. I believe that he will be elected, because I believe a majority ot the people are in his favor, and I believe that Mr. Harrison is too good a Republican, too wise and too honorable a man not to heartily support him, if nominated, as he (Blaine) heartily supported Mr. Harrison in 1888. The Dark Ennei Are Circumspect. Senator Allison was in his committee room when the news came, and Senator Aldrich, bv a coincidence, was at his side. Mr. Allison did not want to talk for publi cation, but he is never uncivil enough to re fuse point blank, so he said that the news was a surprise to him, as much so as it was to anybody. As to the result, he had no opinion to express. Then he told the story in his felicitious style, and the moral of that story was that no matter what happened to individuals the great principles of a party moved forward in constant progress. Mr. AlJrich was too cautious to give a curbstone opinion on so important an event, and Mr. Cockrell, although a Democrat, free from anv ot the restraints that hampered his Republican colleagues, did not care to talk about the resignation. Senator Brice was surrounded by Demo cratic members on the floor of the House, but declined to give his views, further than to sav that he nad not been called by the Republicans to settle their difficulty, bnt he was sure he could, if he was. NOT A WORD TO ADD. Blaine abd Harrison Both Refused to Be Interviewed Cabinet Officers Tipped to Say Nothing The Canadian Commis sioners Badly Treated The Ex-Secretary's Conduct. tBT ASSOCIATED PRESS. "Washingtox, June i. Seoretary Elkins visited the "White House at 3 o'clock this afternoon, and was asked by a representa tive of the Associated Press .what he thought of the political situation, now that Secretary Blaine had left the Cabinet. "So you want my opinion, do you? "Well, I think that Harrison will certainly be nomi nated on the first ballot, and without any seriouji opposition, either. That's all I have to say just at present." The "Washington agent called at Mr. Blaine's residence shortly after the cor respondence had been made pnblic and asked him if he would not supplement it with' an explanation. Mr. Blain e smilingly, but deliberately, replied: "The correspond ence explains itself. I have not a word to add to it." The President was next .called upon, and asked if he was willing to say anything in regard to it. His response," though made with entire courtesy of tone and manner, was equally emphatic: ".Nothing what ever." Both the President and Mr. Blaine were seemingly in excellent spirits, and each of them, after declining to say anything for publication about the great event ot the dav, or its effect upon the situation at Minneapolis, turned the conversation to other topics, with marked composure. Mr. Blaine's appearance and manner and tone of voice, however, were especially noticeable as indicative of a feeling of relief aud satis faction which made him even buoyantly cheerful. Secretary Foster did not show any excite ment this afternoon over the news of, Mr. Blaine's resignation, but soon after hearing it he was one of the most enthusiastic spec tators at the Cincinnati-Washington base ball game. He declined positively to say anything for publication. Attorney General Miller and Secretary Noble also declined to be interviewed. It is understood that the unusual reticence oa the part of officers of the Government in re gard to to-day's occurrence is due to a sug gestion from the "White House that the President preferred that Federal officials should avoid pnblic comment on the sub ject. The Canadian conference began at the State Department yesterday and was resumed this morning. To-day's session, however, did not last more than an hour and it is understood was brought to an abrupt termination by Mr. Blaine's state ment that it was useless to continue the present negotiations for the reason that he was about to sever his official relations nith the Government The Canadian Com missioners left for home this afternoon in a very unpleasant frame of mind. They were quite tree in stating that they had not been fairly treated by the administration. Mr. Blaine's letter to the President is dated June 4, 1892, 13:35 p. M. It therefore must have been written almost directly after the British Minister and his conferees had left. The Secretary remained at the department until 1:45 o'clock arranging some private papers. "While he was doing this one of the messengers laid an official document before him for his signature. He told him to take it away, remarking quietly, "I am no longer Secretary of State." 1TXIKLEY 8TAHD3 BY HAEEIEOK. He ITltl Tote and U ork for the President at the Convention. Columbus, O., June 4. Special The news of Mr. Blaine's resignation was re ceived here with feelings of surprise, and among the administration's friends with amazement and deep concern. Gov ernor McKinley was seen at the Chit tenden Hotel at 5:30 o'clock this evening, just before he started for Minne apolis. He was asked what effect Mr. Blaine's resignation would have on the Presidental situation. "Oh, there can no longer be any donbt about Blaine's posi tion," he replied. "His resignation makes him a candidate, I take it. The public will certainly so construe it, as well as the con vention." "Who will be nominated? Governor?" "Well, in my opinion, this matter will soon be settled. At this distance from the convention it is hard to say, bnt as there will only be two candidates presented, Har rison and Blaine, one of these two will cer tainly be nominated on the first ballot. It could not be otherwise." "It has been said that at heart you were for Blaine, and that if he were a candidate you would support him." "Oh, no, that is a mistake," said the Can ton statesman. "I am for Harrison, and have been all along. All the newspapers have quoted me correctly in that." "How does the Ohio delegation stand?" "A majority are for the President." H00SIEES HIT PBETTY HABD. Some of Them Declare They Won't Support Blaine If Nominated. Indianapolis, June 4. Special Blaine's resignation fell like a bombshell here to-day. - A reporter carried the news to the headquarters of the Blaine Club, where a number of the members were preparing for the trip to Minneapolis to-morrow. "That settles it," said the members in a chorus. "He will be nominated bv acclamation." A. H. Hatch sail: "That means that Blaine will be nominated. It seems to me that Blaine is killing himself as fast as a roan can." He added: '1 don't believe that the men who are pushing him are really for him. They think be will die if he shonfd be nominated and elected, and leave some one in the President's chair that will be a tool for them." Governor Chase said he had a letter a few days ago saying that Blaine wonld resign, but he did not believe his correspondent.

He Doesn't Femr the Presidental Lightning, Though Joe Manley the Bearer ot Blaine's Ultimatum Vermont far Btalne, Snre New Hampshire Doubtful. Chicago, June 4. The great majority of the delegates to the Minneapolis Conven tion passed through Chjcago to-day. The Blaine boomers made a great deal of noise, and stirred np considerable enthusiasm, but the Harrison men, though quieter, were fully as numerous as the Maine man's sup porters. There were delegates from Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, and several representatives from other States who were behind time. The first big arrivals of the day were from Ohio. General Asa A. Bushnell, delegate at large, and as enthusiastic a Blaine man as J. B. Foraker, headed the delegation from Central Onio. He had with him Delegates J. L Allrend, Judge G. K. Nash, Cvrus "Ruling and "W. H. Johnson. These four, with the exception of Allread, wore Blaine badges and talked loudly for Blaine, al though Judge Nash said 'he believed Sen ator Sherman was his preference, with Blaine for second choice. 'General Bushnell said: I believe that three-fourths of the dele gates from OIilo are for James G. Blaine. That estimate Is made from what I have learned in the various districts. Not one of the delegates is instructed, and I ant solng to exercise my freedom and vote for Mr. Blaine. Mr. Allread said he believed there was a great deal of wind to the Blaine boom. Ex cept for the few delegates Foraker control led the Ohio delegation was for Harrison. He adds: If there are three candidates in the field, and a third man, Ueneral Alger, for instance, draws enough votes to on the first ballot to Brevent the nomination of either Blaine or arrison, 1 think Mr. McKinley will be nominated. McKinley is a fighter from away back, and would make a magnlficlent campaign. Be himself does not think light ning will strike him, but he told me yester day that the Blaine men would be tooleu if they tried to stampede the convention for their man. The delegates are altogether too sensible to be whooped up that ay. A man passed through Chicago to-day who, it is believed, carried from Mr. Blaine the latter's official declaration as to his attitude. This man is Joe Manley, Post master of Augusta, Me., and Mr. Blaine's confidential friend. Mr. Manley was in Chicago about half an hour, or just long enough to greet the Maine delegates who had already arrived, and then he sped on ward. He declined to talk politics, and pre-emptorily bade every reporter who ap proached him to let him -alone. To one of the delegates from Tom Reed's district, hewever, Manley said Blaine wonld accept a nomination. This delegate ia Wainwright Cashing, of Foxport, Me. The 12 delegations from Vermont, headed bv Governor Page, were in the city but a Bhorttime, bnt they talked Blaine and de clared if he was a candidate they would vote for him. The New Hampshire men, however, 16 in number, and under the leadership ot Frank C. Churchill, delegate at large, and Chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, said they would he found voting for the renomination of the President. WHY BLAINE RESIGNED. An Authority stt Minneapolis Bays Steve Elkins Forced the Iasne Strained Re lations Between the West Virginian and Ills Foimer flosom FrUnd. iFItOM A STAFF COnaESPONDIXT.I MnrmEAPOLis, June 4. A United States Senator, who is also a member of the Re publican National Committee, to-night gave The Dispatch what purports to be the in side history of Blaine's resignation. He used the following language: Lasi night John C. New became alarmed at the signs of Blaine's strength with the masses of the party which were beginning to develop here despite the earnest work of the office holders for Harrison. A consulta tion of the' Indiana managers was called, and as a result General New telegraphed Secretary Stevo Elkins a most argent appeal. He explained the situation, and told Elkins, that a positive letter or declination from Blaine was all that was necessary to straighten out matters, and that such a letter was needed most ur gently. , Elkins promptly and enthusiasti cally wired Dack that if.such a document was necess iry it would be forthcoming, -and that he would get it himself from the Secre tary ot State. Therefore, this morning, according to my private and reliaole advices. Elkins called npon Blaine and'explained to him the needs and desires ot the administration's political managers. But the West Virginia enthusiast had reckoned without his host. The Blaine man politely, but firmly, announced that he would keep his promise to his friends to make no further communications on the subject of the nomination. Then Elkins became angry and made some remarks whloh practically amounted to im putations. The result uaa that the Inter view ended with the relations of the two political and personal friends very much strained. "A very few hours later the Secretary of State's resignation was in the hands of the President, with the result that you see," concluded the Senator, pointing to the crowds of cheering Blaine boomers surging through the streets and corridors. Banckopt. EMMONS BLAINE VANISHES. He Hears the News From Washington and Leaves for Minneapolis The Verdict at Chicago It Means Business, Now, From the Word Go. Chicago, June 4. Emmons Blaine went to Minneapolis at 6 o'clock to-night. He disappeared as completely as though the earth had swallowed him when the first whisper of the news of his father's action began to get abroad. No information con cerning the'son conld be obtained, either at his office or his residence, except that the first train this evening wonld bear him to Minneapolis. A thrill of excitement ran through the crowded rotunda of the Grand Pacifio at the reception of the intelligence from "Washington. Hundreds of politicians were in the great apartment, and in a moment all else was lost sight of. "Such a thing was never before known in American politics," exclaimed Justice Har lan, ot the United States Supreme Court The distinguished jurist checked his as tonishment and comments suddenly, how ever, and refused to discuss the bearings of the matter in connection with the Minne apolis Convention. "It is too late. He should have done it before!" almost shouted the celebrated "Webster Flanigan, United Stales Collector at 1 Paso, Tex., who became famous with his convention query of "What are we h.era for if not for the offices?" The general verdict was that the news meant business now. from the word go. The Associated Press typewritten copv of the "Washington dispatch was posted" at the hotel desk before a portrait of the now ex Secretary Blaine, and was. instantly sur rounded by an eager crowd,' which was suc ceeded again and again by other crowds anxious to get a glimpse of the fateful tele gram.

Enthusiastic Harrison Adherents Using In discreet Language Harry New Bit ter Beproaehes A Minneapolis Paper Shifts From Blaine to Harrison Very Suddenly. FROM A STATF COBKISPOSDEST. Minneapolis, June 4. Some of the ut terances of indiscreet Harrison adherents this afternoon are calculated to arouse a bitter factional feeling. Harry C New, son of General New, and himself one of the recognized Harrison managers, said: I think that Blaine has been playing a desperate part all through this campaign. I don't know how any man can Justify his action In deferring to a time like the present his resignation of the Secretaryship. He has been fighting under cover, and now he comos out in the open. well, what of itf Do you want me to believe thatf the friends or Jlr. Harrison will be shaken from their ground by this newest exhibition of the brilliant statesmanship with whlen Mr. Blaine is credited! I will not. The resignation naturally makes the Blaine people enthusiastic, because they are now looking lor another communi cation. As for its effect on Harrison, though, my belief is that it will strengthen him. Besides, you know, the ex-Secretary has not yot announced himself a candidate for the Presidency. I think General Har rison's friends are too firm in their alle giance to him to be carried away by e. scheme of this sort, and the effect on the Blaine followers may not be exactly what is anticipated. Then the Minneapolis Tribune, which has all along been supporting Harrison and at tacking Blaine in such a violent manner that Clarkson and others suggested that the management had been subsidized, made an extra "edition, with the following editorial: Mr. Blaine has resigned from the Cabinet. This moans that he will accept a nomination not if tendered "unanimously," not if ten dered with practical unanimity, not if ten dered even by "a large majority;" but if he can get it by any kind of a majority, little or big, large or small. The effect of hLs resignation on the convention remains to be seen. The effect on his repu tation is foreshadowed by his letter of 18SS, when he said: "There are some devoted and disinterested persons who have construed my letter (as it should be construed) to be an unconditional withdrawal of my name from the National Convention. They have, in consequence, given their sun port to eminent gentlemen who are candi dates for the Chicago nomination, some of whom wonld not, I am sure, have consented, to assume that position if I had desired to represent the party in the Presidental con test of 1888. if I should now. by speech or by silence, by commission or omission permit my name in any event to come before the convention, I should Incur the reproach of being nncandid with those who have always been candid with me. Whatever the present verdlot maybe the verdict of his tory will declare that Blaine has made a. fatal mistace. These utterances have aroused the resent ment of Blaine's friends here, and they are retaliating in kind. Bancroft. QUftT IN COMMITTEE. Contests Lett to Snb-Commlttees The Op position Factions Keep Their Swords Sheathed Some Skillful Sparring In dulged in Fight .Easily Settled. Minneapolis, June 4. The National Committee met here before noon, and in about an hour and a quarter had completed' its business. There was some skillful spar ring, but no open fight between the adminis tration and anti-administration forces. The opposing forces did not present united ranks, but split on individual propositions, so as not to make the fight in the National Committee. The contested seats were referred to sub committees, the National Committee not having time to look into them as a body. The principal sub-committee of seven, con sisting of Quay, New, Fessenden, Scott, Hansbrough, Hyde and Clayton, was ap pointed to have charge of all contests from Georgia. Indiana. Louisiana. Maryland. Mississippi, South Carolina and Texas. VA special committee, consisting of Brady, of Virginia; Conger, of Ohio,( and Filley, of Missouri, was given charge of the Alabama contest Thenght over the Utah seats will be looked into by Messrs. Leland, Hobart and "Warren. , The fight in the Tennessee delegation was settled qnietlv, and the threatened rupture prevented for the time being. Judge Mur ray appeared and stated that he was a resi dent ot Tennessee and had never changed. This left no ground on which, under the usages of the committee, a contest could be successfully maintained, and it was therefore decided unanimously that Judge Murray was entitled to serve out his term as National Committeeman. The committee approved without dissent the work of the sab-committee on arrange ments. It was decided to recommend that New Mexico have six delegates in the conven tion instead of two, and that two repre sentatives of the Indian Territory be ad mitted to the floor of the convention, but without a vote. As a compliment to Minneapolis, and at the request of the local committee, City Clerk C. F. Haney was elected one of the reading clerks ot the convention. Ad journed. LEW WALLACE BITTER.

KOCH'S BLAST AT FREE COINAGE. A Blonder That Is Likely to Cost the Catholic Church Dearly. BERLIN SWELTERING WITH THE HEAT IcorTRionr. 1392. bt it. t. associated rmicss.3 Berlin, June 4. The Czar must be highly pleased with the manner in which the plans for the meeting between himself and the Emperor were concealed until they were upon the eve of being realized. The official organs here insist that the proposal for the meeting emanated irom the Czar, who wrote suggesting that the interview be held at Kiel, giving the short time at his disposal before he returns to St Petersburg as the reason for his not coming to Potsdam. A stronger reason, however, is his well grounded dislike to the railway journey necessary to reach Potsdam, and the possible risk of Nihilist outrages, he Emperor will meet the Czar off the port of Kiel on the imperial yacht Pains are taken in offi cial quarters to1 deny that the interview will have any political character, but it is gen erally felt that the day' conference between the two Emperors will do much to promote their friendly relations. The Czar Aims to Conciliate Germany. Heports from reliable .sources state that the Czar has more than once lately given proofs of his desire to avoid any action that would be likely to cause irritation in Ger many. It is even stated that the attempts of France to prevent any anti-German de monstrations at the Nancy fetes are dife to Baron Mohrenheim, the Russian Ambassa dor to France, expressing to President Uarnot the Uzar s hope that no sucn demon stration would oecur. The fact that the Kiel interview happens onthe same day as the Nancy fetes causes considerable remark, as while patriotic Frenchmen will be displaying their love for Russia, and possibly reviling Germany, the two Em perors Iwill be quietly conferring to the advantage of their mutual interests. The Kreutzer ZaXung remarks that when Emperor "William visited The Hague the Queen Regent toasted the Emperor in French; but at the gala dinner given during her visit here she replied in German to the Emperor's toast The visit has had a favorable effect in Holland, where the students have declined to take part in the Nancy fetes in order not to be present in the event of anti-German manifestations. Koch Against Free Silver Coinage. Hcrr Koch is against the remonetization of silver. He has declared that the intro duction of free coinage would lead to a great commercial crisis. "America's desire for a conference,' he said, "arose trom her false financial policy of heaping up unsaleable silver. Instead of free coinage bringing to her the control ot the world's money mar ket, as the silver men imagined, America is in such a fix that she is obliged to look for help abroad." The retnsal of the Catholic authorities to allow Catholic burial to the remains ot Dr. von Forckenbeck, Burgomaster of Berlin, is one ot the greatest blunders that could have been committed, and will do the Cath olic cause immense injury. The Provost of St Hedurn's Churoh, the chief Catholic church of the city, tries to assume all re sponsibility, aut it is well known that his decision was approved by the highest Cath olic authority. The Freisinnige Zeitunrf states that Herr Stryok, President of the Municipal Council, has seceded from the Catholic Church as a protest against what he considers an act, of unjustifiable intol erance. His action probably influenced the Lower House of the Baden Diet, where Catholics have been gaining for years, which rejected a motion in lavor ot allow ing the return of expelled Catholic orders, including the Jesuits. Against the American Sugar Trust. The German sugar producers have re ceived overtures from the Austrian Union of Sugar Producers, proposing the estab lishment of a syndicate for the sale of raw sugar, to work 'against the American Sugar Trust. The oyertures were lavoraDly re ceived". If they are successful the French producers will be invited to co-operate. The past week has been one of the hottest ever known here.

Some unreasonable people are complaining that the E-irl of Lonsdale's presence at the Jackson-Slavin fight is not consistent with his position as patron of 38 church livings, which means that he has the absolute and perpetual right to appointing clergymen who are to be the spiritual guides and instructors of 3S differ ent parishes. The growing spirit of dis sension with the powers that be is further exemplified to-day by respectable news papers who are actually giving currency to impudently worded criticisms of the action of the Duke of Sutherland,-who in the exer cise of -his undoffbfed legal rights prose cuted a poor woman for gathering in his woods at Trentham Park wild flowers to the value of one penny. So degenerate are the times that people'are even grumbling at the Earl of Halmesbury for prohibiting common persons passing through his pork at Bournemouth from smoking. SHE W0TJLD flux CLIMB Mrs. Faran Stevens Mines a Steamer, bnt Her Trnnfcs O . BT CABLE TO THE 'ePATCH. 1 London, June 4. Passengers by the Majestic, which arrived at Liverpool Wednesday night, relate apathetic incident concerning their departure from the New York harbor. Among the names on the passenger list was that of Mrs. Paran Stevens. "When the gang plank was drawn in, the lady was not on board, although a retinue of servants and a large amount of luggage were. Just as the steamer got into the stream, Mrs. Stevens was seen to ap pear on the wharf, and the end of a long colloquy through speaking trumpets was that a tug brought her out to the side of the steamer just off Governors' Island, and a rope ladder was lowered to permit her to come on board. Mrs. Stevens, however, after a careful inspection of the ladder re fused to ascend it, and the steamer sailed without her, carrying her servants and lug gage, who are now awaiting her in Liver pool 27 BEAVE LIVES SACRIFICED In the Vain wAttempt to Rescue the 400 Bohemian Alio Victims.

BEBLlir, June 4. It has just been learned that another attempt to reconcile the Emperor and Prince Bismarck has mis carried. The Emperor showed himself to be willing to treat the father and son with favor, to return the latter to the foreign service of the Empire, and to consider, it is said, the return of the Prince to his old post. The first conditions were, however, that Prince Bismarck should cease at once his virulent newspaper attacks on the Gov ernment and should call upon the Emperor at Potsdam. When Count Bantzan communicated these conditions to Prince Bismarck, the ex Chancellor, despite all arguments, refused utterly to consider them. The "new course," the Prince said, had involved the Empire in difficulties from which the Em peror and Caprivi must find their own egress. "He has chosen a course other than mine," said the Prince, "and I could not go with him even if 1 wished. With all loy alty, I say that he must find his way with out my aid." In regard to Count Herbert, the Prince said that his son might follow his own bent "Under Caprivi, however, he could never serve, as that would be not only inexpedient bnt ridiculous. RDTAN GOT THE MONEY, AND ACCOUNTED FOB IT TO EX-STATE TREASURER BOXER. That's How tho Ex-Senator Knows He Has Good Grounds for His Salt Detective Anderson on the Way to Pittsburg With Sabpconaes Law in the Case. HAKBlSBrrno, June 4. Special De tective Anderson left here early this morn ing with the subpeenaes for ex-Senator Rutan and his witnesses. in the ex-Senator's suit against ex-State Treasurer Boyer for re ceiving interest on State deposits while State Treasurer. A hearing will be held before a magistrate June 16. The suit, supplemented by Kutan's threat that he has "only begun," has created quite a stir on the "hilL" Republican officeholders and politicians are speculating as to who will he the next to come here and answer Rutan's charges. .State Treasurer Morri son, who is charged by Butan with serious offenses committed by him while Chief Clerk of the House, is at his home at Wayne, whither he went yesterday. He will likely return here Monday or Tuesday, as an im portant meeting of the Board of Buildings and Boads will be held then. CoL A. J. Herr, counsel for Butan, said this evening that the charges made against Boyer are based upon personal knowledge of Butan, corroborated by outside evidence. The corroborative evidence consists of the acts of the officers of the different banks in which the public moneys were deposited under a contract and agreement with Boyer made through Mr. Butan himself with the banks, to pay for said deposits a large amount of money. "Mr. Butan has no hesitation," continued. Colonel Herr, "in admitting that he himself received money, from the banks and accounted to Mr. Boyer for it" The question of proceeding against Mr. Boyer and other men of political power in the State for a conspiracy to violate the act ot Assembly which makes j a misdemeanor for the State Treasurer to make such a con tract, is now nnder advisement, with strong probabilities that such proceedings will be brought in the near future. The Pittsburg attorneys are not entirely clear on the law under -which Senator Butan contemplates operating in his suit against Mr. Boyer. It is supposed, how ever, that section 16 of the act ot May 9, 1874, applies. The law reads: The neglect or refusal on the part' of the State Treasurer to perform the duties in this act enjoined upon nim,ortbe wltbdrawal by him of any of the moneys of the State de posited for the payment or the public debt, or the interest thereon, or of any moneys ap plicable to the payment of the current ex penses of the Government without due war rant oi law, or cne appropriation oi any in terest fnnds which may be received nDon the loans of moneys in the State treasury shall be a misdemeanor in office. TJnon the above act Attornev General Hensel based his suit against Mr. Boyer when the extra session of the Senate was called to impeach that official. Daring the extra session ot the Senate Mr. Boyer's attorneys contended that he could not be impeached without a trial in court. They contended that the prose cution had a good case in court, but had no case in the Senate. It is understood that Senator Butan now proposes taking advan tage of Mr. Boyer's defense in the proposed prosecution. DO YOU EAI? Free. Free. Free.

OULY ONE FIRM IN IT. All Poor Fund Bids Declared Off Dirt That of Captain Neeld. IT IS 240 ACRES AT $250 AN ACRE. The Cfty Attorney Says All Other Offers Were Irregular. AX INSPECTION TO BE MADE T0-H0ER0W City Attorney Moreland treated the Charities Committee to a surprise yesterday afternoon when that body came together to consider the latest batch of properties offered for a Poor Farm by serving notice by means of a written communication that only one of the II proposals made was in accordance with the terms of the ordinance and the published advertisement of the city. The lone exception was the bid of Captain George Keeld. His farm is located in South Fayette township at what is known as Great Bend, on Chartiers creek, near the line of the Panhandle Railroad, and subject to a right of way granted to the Chartiers Railroad, which parses through it It is located 14 miles from Union station, contains 240 acres, is underlaid with coal which has never been worked, but the coal taken from an adjoining farm in the same vein is of ex cellent quality. Good Stone on the Farm. There is open en the farm aud being worked a quarry of excellent building stone. The soil, it is claimed, is mdstly in a good state of cultivation and the location admirably adapted to Poor Farm purposes. There is a frontage on Chartiers creek of 700 rods. It can be purchased for $250 an acre The communication of the city attorney leaves no alternative to the charities councils but to leave the other farms offered out ot the question and examine into the merits of this one. Nothing is known about the Neeld farm except what is stated in the proposition to sell it to the city. Chief Elliot stated to the Councils that he had never examined the farm, though he had passed over it on the train, and had been told, since it had been offered to the city, that it was the finest farm in that part of ibe country. From what he had seen he believed that to be true. The Committee to Tlslt the Farm. The Chief suggested that to-morrow morn ing be selected by the committee to visit the farm and determine whetherhe offer should be accepted. He also suggested that the City Councils, the Mayor and Controller be invited by the committee to accompany them on the trip, and a resolution embody ing this suggestion was adopted. Those who intend accompanying the party will meet at the Chief's office.on Fourth avenue, in time to take the 7:35 train on the Pan handle Railroad to-morrow morning. Captain Neeld, who offers this farm, en joys a high reputation for honesty and straightforwardness, and the fact that he is making the offer seems to set at rest any suspicion that there is anything connected with it not fair and above board. As to the other bids the City Attorney could not be seen last evening, but Chief Elliot says that some were not drawn up in proper form and some were indefinite on the roints spe cifically required in the ordinance and in the advertisement Two were informally offered in letters, without any sworn state ment as to option by which the owners could be held if the city choose their farms.
