BLAINE IS SURELY OUT. He Again Declares That Ha Is Not a Candidate. New Yosk, Feb. 2fi. The New York World of Simile contained a-three column interview with Mr. lilaine. which had been cabled from Florence by Mr. T. C. Craw ford, for some time the HVW correspond ent in Washington and Sow in Europe. Mr. Blaine, in the course of a long conver sation, distinctly asserted that under no cir cumstances wiiatever would he allowed bis name to be used in connection with the next Pnnidential nomination. He insists on the sincerity of bis withdrawal and asserts that be had made np his mind thereto king ago. He considers, first, thas any man whose name has been associated w ith a def -at in a Presidential campaign .owes it to ilia party not to allow himself to be renominated ; and secondly, be is unequal to facing the fatigues worry and excitement of another canvass, all the more as he would feci himself bound to work as hard as on previous occasions. Mrs. Blaine and the other members of his family are most emphatic in their approval of his withdrawal, which is definitive and neither hasty nor recent in its decision. 3Ir. Blaine will not return from Kunqw until June and not until after the Ileptiblican Convention. lle'declincs to express himsslf on the sub jvt of the Ilepubhcan candidates now in the field, but assorts that he did not retire in favor of any particular one of them. He is convinced of a Republican victory, basing his conviction in particular on the tariff question. When Mr. Blaine was asked the direct question whether he would, under any cir cumstances. iermit bis name to be used again as a candidate, be n'plied in the most emphatic negative, but then added : " I do not w ish to make any new affirmations upon the subject. I have said all that I wish to say upon this subject in the letter. Tiiat letter, as you must know, was not a haj bazard. off-hand affair. It was the result of much deliberation aud careful thought. You will renicmlier that I told you in l'aris Ixst DccchiIkt that I had no intention of Mug a candidate again and that I had practically made up my mind at that timfto forbid the lie of my name in the approaching conven tion." " I hold." he said later in thecoiivcrsation, "the I have no right to be a candidate again. A man who has once been the candidate of his parts- and defeated, owes it to his party lo withdraw and not be a candidate a sec ond time. More than this, thcae is another plain nason for my withdrawing. I could not go through the burden and fatigue of another Presidential canvass such a one as the canvass of tiie last campaign. To accept a nomination, and to do less than before, would be impossible." Mr. Crawford thus concludes his dispatch : " Towards the close of my last call I asked Mr. Blaine when he expected to return to America. He said that he exjiecteil reach New York about the as. of June. He ;x Kits to spend the late Spring in London. He has not yet determined ujsin movements. After leaving Klon nce lie will probably go straight to V. iglaud farm Italy. He said with an air uf frankness not to be mistak en : "You have no idea what a relief it is lo me to think that 1 am now out of the can vass and that w hen I go back to New York in the summer that I shall not be going back there to face receptions and to enter into the turmoil and excitement of a political can vass. I can now come back quietly, after the convention has once decided the result, and enjoy my own life in my own way, free, I hope, from further criticism or comment." , Stole to Get Food.

St. r.irL, Minn., Feb. 23. An Kdmonton forrcsxiii(lent gives the facts in regard to the reports of the starving condition of Indians in the Far North. He says the failure of the cros and the scarcity of game has left the Indians solely dependent on the Indian De partment for food. The iovernmeiit sup plies have failed to come, and the conse quence is most deplorable. All the stock of lish they had frozen ill the early part of the winter was s;iilcd oy mild weather in Jan uary. The chiefs of White Fish Lake and other triljes became demonstrative and threatened the (iovcrnment officials with re bellion unless food was given them. The agent at Saddle Lake cams down to Kdmon ton and refused to return without food, be ing afraid for his life. The correspondent accused the Indian Department of criminal negligence, and says if the Indians are not looked after the consequence may be disas trous. An Eloping Couple's Fate.

Wasiiixgtox. Feb. 22. The National Democratic Committee met this morning at in o'clock, in fc-.-rtt session, to continue the balloting for the selection of the city in which the Democratic Convention shall be held. Mr. Scott moved that the pending business be suspended, so that the motion might be made to reconsider the vote by which the 3d ot July was decided uon as the date for holding the Convention. This was lost by a vote of 23 to 21, tint another effort to change the date will be made. The first Lallot resulted : San Francisco, 17; Chicago, 17 ; St. Louis, 13; and New York, I. After the first ballot there was a recess of ten minutes. Another ballot was then taken, but before the result was announced Mr. Walsh, of Georgia, rose in bis place and sta ted that he had thus far voted constantly for San Francisco, but as he was satisfied that that city would not be selected he would change his vote to. St. Ixmis. Other changes followed, and St. Louis was chosen and the choice was made unanimous. Mr. Scott, of Pennsylvania, moved a re consideration of the resolution naming July 3J as the date for the Convention. This was agreed to, and on motion of ex-Senator McDonald, June 5:h was fixed upou as the date. COX.iKTCHTIOXS FROM MATOU FRANCIS. Washixotox, Feb. 23.

Il means the tight will lie made squarely on the principles so clear ly, forcibly, and courageously enunciated in your message, signed D. R. FcvNas. Local Option Legislation In New Jersey. New Jtr.y applejack is not going out of use just yet. but if the New Jersey Senate prove ol the same way of thinking as the Assembly, some of that seductive fluid will have to beexxrtcd to find consumers. The Assembly passed finally on Tuesday by a vote of 34 to 20 a combination high li cense and local option bill that will, if it K-comea law, shut up the license mills en tirely in some counties and make thesaloon kecjienn in other e pay roundly for the privi lege of drsjiensitig New Jersey's favorite drink. The bill is a caucus measure, and the Republicans, who contml both branches of the New Jersey Legislature, have under taken to makeitalaworthrow up the Demo cratic Governor the responsibility for its de feat. Five Republicans in the Assembly bolted the raucus and voted for it, giving it j a good margin of majority. Willi threats are made that the passage of the bill will injure the Republican party of the state, but as the Republican rty never carries New Jersey this threat has little terror j in it. The bill is a sensible one and its iass- age is likely to strengthen thearty by bring ing back to its ranks more prohibition voters than it will lose by the saloon defection in a few of the cities. The bill passed the Senate on Thursday by a vote of 12 to (. An Enterprising Lawyer. Chattanoooa, Feb. 2 . Almost every day brings new revelations in the case of O. P. Adams, the attorney wanted for hore steal ing and who lelt the city the first of the we k a few hours ah.-ad ot an otlbcr. Adams came here six or seven mouth ago and began the practii-e of law in a way that brought ujMin him the contempt of the attorneys at the bar. He never got outside the justice courts. Owing to the peculiarities of Ten nessee law it was easy to stir u;i agitation among certain classes, and Adams put in bis time doing this. As won as he got the parties in court he promised a compromise and s euied a fee from each side. On Monday he was recognized by Sye Wil liams as a much wanted horse thief from Florida. Adams got wind of what was com ing aud lied. Since then investigation proves that the fellow has stolen horses from the gulf to the Ohio, and was here as the head of an extensive gang operating now in South ern Tennessee and Northern Alubami. Fnim this city he could direct their move ments in security. It is thought a number of horses which have recently disappeared in this vicinity were stolen by him or bis pals. A heavy reward w ill be offered for his arn-st. Settled With Shotguns. Tolciki, Feb. 24. Will Lindley and John Tiblh-tt, well-known farmers, livingthree ami a half miles north of ak Harbor, fotiglit a duel with shotguns, the contest resulting in the death of Lindley. The two men were brothers-in-law. Lindley was married to a sister of John Tibbett. Their married life was unhappy, and Mrs. I indler left her husband and returned to the home of her mother. Lindley pursued his wife, and wh'-n she refused to return bonis Uc swore to kill the whole family. He s cured a shotgun, and, skulking behind fences and trees, tried to carry out his threat. The Tibbett family barricaded the residence and prepared for the siege. Shot alter shot was exchanged by the relatives without any effect, and Lindley dared Tibbett to come out and light him. Tibbett, although a nitre b.y of 1!, ac cepted the challenge, and at the first ex change of shots Lindley nrcivo I the charge full in the face, and his head was blown from bis shoulders. Lindley is only about 23 years of age End his wife was scarce Is!. He came from Michigan several years ago, wl ile the Tibbett family have resided in Northwestern Ohio fory furs. I'opuiasym pathy is with Tibbett, and no arrests have liceii made. Four New States. Washington. February 23.

Ball, were acquitted tiiis evening. The accused were made to pay two-thinls and prosecutor one-third of the costs. The Era sometime ago published a statement that Ball had neglected his wife and children and left them destitute. The defense was that everything the newspaper published was true. Ball has brought a civ il action for damages against the paper. Additional Local. Washington Letter. From our Special Correspondent. Wasiiixhtox. D. C. Feb. 27, lsst. I am well aware that tension literature is not very spicy reading to the general public, but knowing that the hundreds of old sol diers in Somerset county are deeply interest ed iu such matters, I will give a resume of the most important pension legislation now before Congress. First conies the G. A. R. bill introduced by Senator Manderson, granting pensions to ex -soldiers and sailors who are incapaci tated for the performance of manual labor, and providing for pensions to dependent rel atives of deceased soldiers and sailors. This is the measure known as the "Detiendeut Pension bill " which passed the lost Con gress, and was vetoed by the President. It has been favorably reported to the Senate, is now the unfinished business before that body, and is certain to pass before long. It will also jiass the House, without much doubt. There is also very little doubt that Ueveland will sign the bill, as it is devoid of some of the objectionable features of the act which pass.il the 40th Congress. Then comes the bill introduced by Sena tor Iugalls to remove the limitation in the payment of the arrears of pensions. The act of March 3, lsT'J, so amended the "Ar rears Act " of January 2.", 171), as to require all applications for arrears to lie filed prior to July I, IM). The purpose of Senator Iu galls' bill is to remove this limitation, and permit the filing of applications for arrears at any time. Its effect, also, is to entitle all pensioners to pensions from date of discharge or from date of disability, if said disability occurred subsequent to discharge. My be- lief is that this bill will not pass Xext conies Senator Cameron's biil to grant a service pension to every olliccr or emisieu man who served in the irmy, navy i or marine corps between Man.-h 4, l.siil,and July 1, liU. at the rate per month of one cent for each day's service. The ubiquitous statistician has conic forward with a table showing how many hundreds of millions of dollars would be required to pay the pen sions under this measure. I am of the opin ion, based upon careful inquiry, that the bill will not pass. Following tiie. above comes Senator Quay's bill granting to ci prisoners of war a oue Iialf eiisioii for imprisonment of two months and less than six ; a three-fourths pension for imprisonment of six mouths and less than twelve; and a total iension' for im prisonment of twelve months or more. The bill provides, furthermore, that all surviving prisoners of war shall receive two dollars for each and every day's confinement. Having conversed with several members of the Sen ate Tensions Committee, I am of the opin ion that this bill will be favorably reimrted to the Senate before' long, although action may be delayed until Col. Quay's return from Florida. The prosjiects "for the final passage of the bill are excellent. Another very iiuKrtant mexsure is one introduced in the House by Congressman McDonald, of Minnesota, to prescribe and define the evidence in the case of certain T'nion soldiers, and widows and orphans of the same. This bill is a lengthy pile, and it is iiniMissible to gave even a syiioiisis of it in the Ijrief space at iny disposal.' It is suffi cient lo say, however that' the bill is an cx ceedingly important Qtfe, and it pugbt lo pass. If it docs, hundreds of pension (.-lainis which have been rejected upon technical grounds will be favorably acted upon by the Uureau of J'ensions. 4s the bill lias nof. been considered yet, it is impossible to say whether or not il will pass, And still another important ljill, also in troduced by the junior Pennsylvania Sena tor, is the one known as tlj " Maimed Sol diers' League bill." to increase the pensions of those who have lost eyes, limbs, orthe use of them, are totally helpless, or deaf, and tit other purposes. With some amendments, vhich will be made in Committee, it is more than probable that this bill will become a law. Of course there are dozens of other general tension bills before the two Houses, but I have enumerated above those which occur to me as of the greatest importance. I trust your -readers will not haul me over the coals for givinjr so much space to the soldiers. Iu lWl-'03 We w'ere all quite willing to give them plenty of room. ' ' ' ' ' The House of Representatives haying pass; ed the bills for public buildings at Allen town and Lancaster, there promises to be a regular scramble among other Pennsylvania cities which are asking for similar liivors. Among these arc Altoona, Chester, Alle gheny, Wilkesbarre and York. Some of tlieru are certainly doomed to disappoint ment. Mr. Scull has recently presented a memo rial of the authorities of Tyrone, Pa., relat ing to public buildings ; also, memorials of Fork, Cambria and Good Will Councils of the Junior Order of United American Me chanics, praying that Washington's birth day may be ma.lc a legal holiday ; and a pe tition from citizens of the Seventeenth dis trict, praying for the lassagc of a law pro hibiting the manufacture, sale and Importa tion of all alcoholic beverages in the Dis trict of Columbia. He has also recently in troduced a bill granting a pension to John McDonnell, and one for the relief of James Bookhammer. He has also repcrted a num ber ot bills from the Committee on Pensions, of which be is the only member from Penn sylvania. There are two very important bills now before Congress, which have in view chang es in the postal laws, so lar as second-class matter is concerned. Under existing laws novels of the " Seaside Library " sort, which purport to be issued weekly, are looked upon as periodicals, and are mailable as second class matter ; whereas all other books, in cluding Bibles, educational works, etc., are mailable as third class matter, and therefore at much higher rate than are charged for weekly periodicals. One of the bills to which I refer, w hich has parsed the House and is now before the Senate Committee on Post-otli.-es and Post Roads, puts such novels as I have indicated in the tiiird class, with ail other books. It certainly seems, unjust that to send a Bible through the mails should cost a good deal more than to send " Badger Bill, or the Bloody Boys of the Border," or some such work. The other biil I sjeak of is one putting incnthlies, etc., in the same category with weeklies, at one cent per pound, instead of one cent each for monthly and semi-monthly ucwspajHTs, the same for other periodf cals weighing less than two ounces, aud two cents for criodica!s weighing over two ounces. This latter bill has been negatively reported by the House Commniittee, but there is still no reasonable chance of its passag". Congressman Scull left here on Saturday last to sjK-nd a few days at his home in Som erset, this being bis first absence from the capital since the holiday rei-ess. Randall was not one of the " big injuns" at the meeting of the Democratic National Committee last week. Nevertheless, in Oc- j tober next, when il is ascertained that Scott's j bar'l is not going to carry New York for ! Cleveland it will be Randall who will be sent for, as he was in 11, to keep the Um pire State from casting her vote against her own candidate. The Pennsylvania Grangers arc writing to our Senators and Representatives relative to the reduction of postage on seeds, bulbs, etc., to the re-issue of fractional currency. and to the abolition of the postal note. I have run ac ross a new idea in honey- j moons. A few days ago the daughter of ; Prof. Simon Neweoni'j, ot the Naval De- j partment, was married. Did the bridal coup- j le go otfon a tour? Not a bit of it ; but the i laily's parents, and brothers and sisters did, while she and the groom tooK possession of the parental domicile, and settieJ down at once to enjoy wald sl life. For tiie first lime since Congress opened, the Senate lust week held a session ou Fri day. On the 22.1, being the anni versary of the father of his country, I saw only two build ings in this City of Washington which had Hags out MARRIED.
