San Fhancisco, Feb. 12 James G.
Fair, Jr., oldest son of ex-Senator Fair,
died suddenly early this morning from
heart failure. Young Fair returned
from an extended trip to the East
Wednesday last and spent last evening
with his father at the Lick house. He
' " paused some time in reading. On retir
ing to his room be suddenly fell with a
cry of pain, l'hysicians were sum
moned, but lie died shortly after the
attack.
He was born in Virginia, Nev., and
was twenty-nine years of age. Senator
Fair is now the only member of the fam
ily on the coast, Miss Virginia Fair be
ing in New York with her sister, Mrs.
Herman Oelricbs, and Charles Fair, a
younger son of the senator, being in
Europe. It is only quite recently that
Mrs. Fair died at the family mansion in
this city from heart trouble.
Young James Fair, it will be remem
bered, was at one time addicted to drink
and was hynotized in order to cure him
of his habit, about six months ago.
His lather had done everything in his
power to cure him before that, at one
time instructing the cashier of the Ne
vada bank to pay Jimmy $5 every day
that he presented himself at the bank in
a sober condition at 3 o'clock.
He turned up in good condition at 3
- o'clock each day, but within half an
hour he was well started on the night's
drunk, and in the early morning hours
he would repair to the Hammain baths
where he was sobered up and cleaned in
time for his three o'clock visit to the
bank.
At one lime he made his residence at
Santa Cruz, receiving a monthly allow
ance fro.n his father which sufficed to
pay his board bill and keap him in
liquor for about a week. The rest of the
month was passed in vainly trying to
run tip his bar bills and to borrow
money from his friends.
An attempt by his father to reform
Jimmy many years ago had rather a
curious ending. The Senator gave him
a ranch in Southern California, the
condition in the deed being that he
should remain sober for one year.
Jimmy went to his ranch and got along
all right for seven months.
In the meantime the Southern Cali
fornia land boom came, the property on
all sides of the ranch was divided into
town lots, and the value of young
Jimmy's property that had amounted to
only about $50,000 suddenly rose to over
$200,000.
This was fur more than the Senator
had intended to give him, and he began
to wonder how ne could get it back.
Just about that time, as if Providence
was against Jimmy, he found some
whisky on the ranch where it had never
been allowed before, and waB soon in a
very nappy condition.
'.?f-Sorrow followed this haoniness. how-
ever, for his father brought suit for the
violation of the condition, and the land
was once more the property of the
Senator.

The Keolproclty Commission.
Washington, D. C. Feb. 13 Can
adian reciprocity commissioners, accom
panied by Secretaries Blaine and Elkins
and Sir Julian Pauncefote, called at the
White House today and were formally
presented to the President. The visit
was merely for the purpose of paying
their respects. At the close of yester
day's meeting it was decided to hold the
next session on Monday, if negotiations
are to be continued. There is no means
of ascertaining at present how much
longer the conference will be continued.
It is understood Secretary Blaine has
elicited the fact that the commissioners
from Canada have in reality
no power to conclude a reci
procal . trade arrangement at
present and on that basis he intimated
. that the further prolongation of the
discussion of the question at this time
would be useless. As the ground that
may be covered in the preliminary dis
cussions would have to be gone over
again should Canada send a commission
empowered to bind the government to a
treaty. It is rumored that the adjourn
ment until Monday was taken in order
that the cables might be utilized
towards obtaining from the government
at London some official expression giv
ing the present negotiations a color of
authority.
Want Wool Futures.
Washington, D. C, Feb. 13 Vice
President Moss, of the New York cotton
exchange, in the anti-option hearing to
day said the exchange had some time
ago received a request from the wool
growers' association of Texas asking
that the exchange deal in wool the
same as it did in cotton. The request
said the wool growers were in the
bands of a few men and wanted wool
"futures" dealt in on the exchange so as
to give them a wider market. He men
tioned this as another advantage of the
system of dealing in futures and evi
dence also that producers were not all of
them at all events clamoring for the
abolishment of the Byetem of futures on
the theory that it is detrimental to
them.
Arretted for Smuggling. w
San Antonio, Tex., Feb. 12 The cus
tom house guards at Del Kio, Texas,
arrested on Wednesday Benguo Marti
nez, a promint Mexican of Garza, Galan,
Mexico, as he was in the act of smug
gling a large quantity of dutiable goods
into this country. Martinez was brought
here yesterday and placed in jail, pend
ing his preliminary examination.

have prohibited the holding of meetings
today in honor of the anniversary of the
Spanish republic of 1873.
IVHALEUAIKS.
Lines of Steamers From St. Lonls and
From San Francisco.
Dclcth, Minn., Feb. 11 Representa
tives of St. Louis & San Francisco syn
dicates are here con erring with the
McDouzall people regarding lines of
whaleback steamers. The St. Louis
syndicate anticipates a line to ply be
tween St. Louis and European ports via
the Mississippi and the Gulf of Mexico.
The San Francisco syndicate is con
sidering a line across the Pacific. If the
St. Louis project goes through, shipyard
will be established for construction of
whalebackj at or near Cairo, at the
mouth of the Ohio river,
NEW AMERICAN DUCHESS.
Mill Marie nil to hell Wilt be the Cach
et de la Rochefoucauld Tomorrow.
Paris, Feb. 10 The civil marriage of
Miss Mattie Elizabeth Mitchell, daugh
ter of Senator Mitchell, of Oregon,
to the Duke Francois De Laro-
chefoucauld was celebrated to
day. The religious marriage
will lake place tomorrow. Whitelaw
Eeid and Baron De Streuvs, the Rus
sian minister at Washington were the
witnesses for the bride. Only relatives
of the bride and bridegroom were pres
ent.
This afternoon in Paris, France, Miss
Mattie Mitchell, daughter of Senator
Mitchell, of Oregon, sister of John H
Mitchell and Mrs. W. E. Chapman and
niece of Sheriff Price, of Tacoma, is to
be civilly married to the Due de la
Rochefoucauld, according to the French
law, and tomorrow the religious cere
mony will be performed.
The civil rite is to take place at the
Mairie of the Seventh Arrondisement.
The religious ceremony is to be observed
at St. Clothilde in the Fauborz St.
Germain.
Mrs. Mitchell, mother of Miss Mitch
ell, was interviewed in Paris two days
since and said that the religious cere
mony will be a very grand one, and will
take place at the above church, and you
may say that all the fashionable world,
both French and American, will be
there.
"The wedding will take place at mid
day, and my daughter's witnesses will
be Whitelaw Ried and the Russian
minister to Washington, Baron de
Struve, who is at present in Paris on
leave. The Duke's witnesses will be
his first cousin, the Due de la Roche
gvyon, and the colonel of his regiment,
Mons. De Lavallette. The maid of
honor will be Miss Myer, daughter of
the late General Mytr, U. S. A."
After the wedding Mrs. Mitchell will
give a small reception to a select party
of friends in her rooms at the Hotel de
Hollande. She said that she was at
present absolutely ignorant as to where
the happy couple were going to spend
their honeymoon,
The gentleman who has had the good
fortune to capture the heart of the beau
tiful Miss Mitchell is a captain in the
Sixteenth regiment of French Chasseurs.
Francois Alfred, Due de la Rochefou
cauld, is the head of one of the most
distinguished families of Europe, and
when his name is mentioned a proces
sion of venerable historical images is
conjured up.
Captain de Kocheroucauld has an in
come amply sufficient to keep up his
estates and to enable him to live in ele
gance, and it takes considerable money
to do that. The present match affords
at least one instance of an international
marriage in which American dollars are
not required to regild shop-worn Euro
pean coronets or redeem them from
pawn. The coronet of the Rochefou-
caulds is still in good order, with no
pewter snowing tnrougn the gilding.
The bridal dress is to be rich and
plain, of ivory satin and edged with the
traditional orange blossoms around the
skirt. Narrow plaits with an empire
sash of white orange blossoms will com
pose the corsage, sleeves to be close-
fitting to the elbows. The neck will be
covered with old Point d'Alencon lace
which is an heirloom in the La Roche
foucauld family and which falls over the
corsage to the waist. A long faille veil
covers the entire dress, being fastened
at the top of the head by a Henry IV
coronet of orange blosssoms.
Misa Mitchellis twenty-six years old.
For some years she has been one of the
acknowledged belles of Washington, and
according to some of her enthusiastic
admirers she is the most beautiful wo
man her country has ever sent abroad
to be gazed at and admired by the effete
aristocracy of Europe. Her beauty is
undeniable. Picture a woman above
the average height of her sex, with a
figure perfect in its rounded curves and
exquisitely proportioned; with golden
brown hair that curls naturally, light
brown eyes expressive of tenderness
and yet firmness, and a complexion so
softly blended in its pink and white
shades that it has been the envy of most
of the society women of Washington.
THE HAWAIIAN CABLE.
A New I.lne Will lie Surveyed by the
Albatross.
Washington, D. C. Feb. 10 It has
been decided by the navy department to
make another line of soundings before
definitely deciding upon the route for
the proposed submarine cable between
San Francisco and the Hawaiian Isl
ands. This conclusion was reached after
examination of the full report just re
ceived here of the survey of two lines
recently completed by the nan commis
sion steamer Albatross. Many irregu
larities ranging from normal to sub
marine mountains two and a half miles in
height were found on these two lines.
Orders were telegraphed yesterday to
Lieutenant Commander Tanner of the
Albatross at San Francisco, to get his
vessel ready at once for making a new
survey. The new line will be run on a
great circle, starting at or near Point
Conception, California, to the island
Hawaii. Experts of the hydrographic
office, who sept a careful record of all
soundings made, expect a more level
line on the great circle which it is now
proposed to run. The work already
done, they say, indicates the possibility
of a line comparatively uniform and at
an average depth of about three miles.
Caspar Will Come Back.
San Jose, Cal. Feb. 11 Sheriff Prince.
of Olympia, Wash., left here this morn
ing, having in custody Joseph Caspar,
a young barber, who is wanted on the
charge of obtaining a diamond ring
under false pretenses. Caspar has been
here for four months. Two months ago
he married a girl in Oakland and set up
housekeeping.
A Schoolgirl Elopes.
Dayton, Feb. 11 Robert Smith, a
survevor from Denver, has eloped with
Miss Mary Saxton, a 113-year-old school
girl. Miss Saxton was soon to be mar
ried to Mr. Mbbler, of Walla Walla.
Her parents did not even know of the
existence of Smith, whose acquaintance
sue inaue a rout two years ago, wnue he
was at work in this county.
Brazilian Minister Resigns.
London, Feb. 11 A dispatch to the
Times from Rio Janeiro states that af
fairs there are in very bad shape. Three
ministers have resigned and this is taken
as an indication that the government is
breaking up. At Pelatos,Kio Grande
de Sul, the feeling between the popu
lace and the government is very bitter
and it is feared a conflict may occur at
any moment.
A Scheme for Colored Hen.'
Little Eock, Ark., Feb. 11 An asso
ciation for mutual protection has been
formed here by leading colored men in
this section, and articles for the incor
poration of a stock company with $2,500,
000 have been filed. The association
will be national. Its object is the estab
lishment and operation of business
houses for colored people to be con
ducted by members of their race.
PRINCE GEORGE MUST MARRY.
Arlstoerata Want a Foreigner The Peo.
pie an English Girl.
London, Feb. 2 It has been prac
tically settled that Prince George of
Wales shall marry some time in October
in order "to make the succession se
cure." Nobody knows yet who will be
the favored bride, but we are assured
today that "the universal expression of
approbation of the Duke of Clarence's
selection of a bride who was English by
birth and training has not been lost on
the queen and Prince of Wales, and it is
as certain as anything well can be that
Prince George will in this respect emu
late his deceased brother's example."
Prince George is to have the suite of
apartments in St. James palace given to,
but never occupied by, his luckless
brother. It will be necessary also to
make a peer of him, and the odds are
about even that he will be dubbed the
ALBERT VICTOR.
Duke of York, Duke of Sussex or Duke
of Kent. It is asserted that he is raising
objections to leaving the navy, having
an ambition to command a big ironclad
and ultimately a squadron ; but in this
matter he cannot be allowed to
have his own way. An ironclad might
run on a rock or her boilers might blow
up or she might founder in a storm and
the Prince must not run the risk of any
one of these events so long as the Duch
ess of Fife stands third, the Duke of
Edinburgh seventh, and the German
Emperor twenty-hrst in the direct line
of succession to the British throne. As
the sober Tory St. James Gazette gloom
ily remarks: "The crown of England
descends like a barony in fee to the
nearest heir of the last wearer, be that
heir male or female (daughters, of
course, being postponed to sons), and
were Prince George never to marry the
crown would pasB to the Duchess of Fife
and afterward descend from her to her
daughter. Lady Alexandra Duff, at pres
ent aged one year, always supposing
that a son was not born to her in the
meantime. In that case the son would
naturally take precedence. We might
then (and the possibility is by no means
remote) witness the curious sight of a
Marquis of MacDuff stepping direct from
the guards or benches of the House of
Commons to the throne. '
That Fife spectre ib positively haunt
ing royal and aristocratic minds, and it
will not be laid until Prince George shall
have married and "provided for the suc
cession." There is much more significance than
might at first sight be supposed in the
widely different feelings with which the
news of the death of the Duke of Clar
ence was received by the English aristo
cracy on the one hand and by the middle
and lower classes on the other.
According to the New York Sun we
are told that when the announcement
of the event wsb made at the Mansion
House, in the city of London, it was
heard with stolid indifference; whereas
in the West End conspicuous members
of society gathered in groups discussing
anxiously the possible bearings of the
Prince's decease on the succession to the
PRINCE GEORGE.
crown. The masses of the English
people are not in the least con
cerned ; they are on the contrary
rather pleased than otherwise that the
death of Albert Victor should have
brought the Duchess of Fife and her
daughter, who will be half an English
woman, one step nearer to the throne.
On the other band, the contemplation
of the accession of either of those ladies
cannot but cause heartburnings among
the English aristocracy. They do not
relish the idea of the Duke of Fife's oc
cupying the position of Prince Consort,
and they foresee that the assumption of
the crown by the Lady Alexandra Duff
might involve the attainment of com
plete ascendancy at court by her rela
tives on her father's side. Those are
contingencies, however, which would
have to be faced should the new heir
presumptive, Prince George of Wales,
who has but just recovered from a dan
gerous illness, die without heirs.
The masses of the English people have
always welcomed, and the nobles as a
body have always disliked, the marriage
of subjects with members of the royal
family in the direct line of succession.
It was largely because the House of York
was English on both sides that its rep
resentative was more acceptable to the
Londoners than Henry VI, whose
mother and wife were both French
women. Not even the personal bravery
and blufl and hearty manners of Edward
IV so endeared him to the English com
monalty as his self-willed marriage with
Elizabeth Woodville, the daughter of a
eimple gentleman, although her eager
ness to shower titles and places of emol
ument upon her kinsmen gave dire
offense to the Yorkist nobles. If Mary
Tudor was unpopular even among her
Catholic subjects, this was due in no
small measure to her being both the
daughter and the wife of Spaniards,
whereas the devotion of the common
people to Elizabeth was attributable
partly to her being the daughter
of an English woman, Anne Bo ley n,
who, during her brief hour of
queenship, bad aroused the bitter ha
tred of the aristocracy. We may note in
passing that Elizabeth never forgot the
intrigues of the great lords against her
mother as was shown by her persist
ency in leaning rather on the mass of
English gentlemen than on the more
distinguished nobles, and by her ex
tremely sparing distribution of titles, no
duke, and but very few earls, having
been created in her reign. We may add
that it was lucky for James I, that he
had received through his mother and
father a double infusion of English blood
for otherwise the English detestation
of foreigners would probably have
caused the elevation of the Lady Ara
bella Stuart to the throne. Passing to
the next century, we find that the one
highly popular act of the Duke ot York,
afterward James II., was his inflexible
adherence, notwithstanding the coun
ter pressure of his brother, Charles
II., and of the whole court, to his prom
ise of marriage with Anne Hyde, whose
two daughters were successively to be
queens of England. Had the Old Pre
tender, who styled himsetf James III.,
been the whole brother of Anne Hyde's
daughters, instead of being their half
brother by his father's second wife, an
Italian Princess, there is no doubt that
the English nation would have seconded
Lord Bolingbroke in nis project oi pro
claiming him on the death of hiB sister
Anne.
But while the English commonalty
have always viewed with sympathy,
and sometimes with enthusiasm, the
marriage of an actual or prospective
sovereign with a subject, the aristocracy
have, we repeat, as uniformly regarded
such an incident with aversion and dis
trust. Prices Jump Up Sight Cents in a Few
Minutes and Unheard or Transac
tions Take Place In the York
Excban-e Today.
New York, Feb. 11 The stock market
this morning was unprecedented for its
activity, and sharp advances were made
in a short time, though the movement
was confined to lees than halt a dozen
stocks. Reading is still the greatest
feature in the market and the trans
actions are unheard of in their magni
tude. About 100,000 shares changed
hands in the first few minutes, the total
for the hour being larger than an ex
tremely active day's business for the
whole list.
Reading opened up 2 per cent, at
quickly advanced to 64, and while
it reacted sharply to it fluctuated
between that point and t3 for the rest of
the hour. Jersey Central raised from
130 to 138. St. Paul was weak from the
start and declined per cent. Among
the rest of the list Burlington lost over
1 per cent. The remainder of the market
was heavy and comparatively quiet
The consummation of the Reading
deal resulted in the largest trading and
the most intense excitement ever known
in the history of the stock exchange.
The crowd at Reading point at the open
ing was enormous. Stock sold at 573a
61 on different sides in the first few min
ntes. Prices advanced to 64, a jump of
85e since yesterday's close and an ad
vance of 23 per cent, in the week. In
the first hour over 354,000 shares oi
stock changed hands. Trailing in bonds
was fully as large and prices made even
more violent advances than in stocks.
Jersey Central and New England each
advanced 8 per cent. Bears covered
their shorts in coalers at the highest
figures and their losses are such that
futures are generally expected.
New York, Feb. 11 At noon money

with all except a few weak spots at best
prices. Fours coupon, 16 ; Pacific, Gs

New York, Feb. 11 The activity of
the stock market continued unabated
after 12 o'clock and other stocks con
tinued to come to the front with sharp
advances in prices. Lackawanna, the
most prominent among these, rose
from 167J6 to 101? St. Paul and Atchi
son shared the improvement. Outside
of these shares, however, the general
list continued quiet without much
feature and before delivery hour there
was a perceptible diminution in the
volume of business, Sales at 2 p. m.,
1,219,000 shares.
Contrary to general expectation not a
failure was announced, and on the fall of
the hammer at 3 o'clock the biggest day
in the history of the exchange came to
an end with confusion and excitement
just as at the opening. No one looking
at that maddened, excited crowd of men
shrieking at the top of their voiceB,
would have Bupposed them to be busi
ness men capable of dealing in $15,000,
000 worth of property in 30 minutes, but
such was the case, and moreover the
value of Reading stock alone enhanced
in value $3,500,000 by every action of
that excited mob. It would be useless
to figure on the money made and lost
today.
The transactions were not enormous
in the aggregate, but all individual
trades were on a large scale. Wednes
day, December 15, 1886, the total re
ported sales were 1,074,UUO shares. This
was up to today the greatest on record.
By a singular coincidence the most con
spicuous stocks on that day were Read
ing and New Lngland, which were today
the great features of speculation. The
telegraph operators employed in the ex
change to send out quotations had to be
relieved every half hour owing to the
tremendous strain upon them.
The directors of the Reading, Lehigh
Valley and Jersey Central today ratified
the contract for the new deal.
New York, Feb. 11 The stock mar
ket again developed most extreme ac
tivity after 2:15 and material concessions
were seen in many leaders, Lackawanna
dropping from 163 to 169 and others,
including Reading, New &ngiana ana
Chicago van, from 1 to 2 per cent. The
advance resumed late in the hour, how
ever, and the market closed very active
and strong generally at close to the
highest prices of the day.
IN LONDON.
London, Feb. 11 The stock market
today was generally irregular with an
unfavorable tendency. American rail
road securities were flat on rumors ol
impending failure in Liverpool due to
tear operations in Philadelphia and
Reading shares, Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe, Union Pacific ami Grand
Trunk shares were freely offered and
quotations dropped. Argentine and
Chicago securities were i lower.
Cargo of Spruce Lumber.
Clallam Bay, Feb. 11 A cargo of
spruce lumber was shipped from here
Sunday on the schooner American Girl
for San F.-ancisco. The shipping of
spruce is a new departure, this being the
first cargo of it sent from the Sound. It
consisted of 340,000 feet of inch boards,
and will be used in the planing mills

COAL L
The Anthracite Trade
Under One Head.
THE READING'S FINE STROKE
That Corporation Now the Strongest
There la In the World, With
Larger Income and a Greater Number
of Employes.
New York. Feb. 11 It is authorita
tively announced that a combination
embracing the Reading, Lehigh Valley,
Jersey Central, Lackawanna and Dela
ware & Hudson has been formed.
It is understood that the Reading will
have representation in the Lackawanna
anu Delaware s Hudson roads and that
the entire anthracite coal business of the
United States will be brought under one
ueaa. 1'resident McLeod, ot the Head
ing railroad, has given out the following
information :
"The Reading railroad has by lease
acquired control ot the Lehign Valley
railroad, a corporation in the State of
new Jersey; the lort Meaning railroad,
which is under Reading management,
has by lease acquired control of the
Central railroad of New Jersey. This
practically nlaces in inv hands the con
duct of affairs of the Reading, Lehigh
valley and New Jersey Central rail
roads, and also, through the latter, the
Lehigh s Susquehanna road ot the Le
high Navigation Company."
This coup of President McLeod's is
the greatest in the hiatory of railroad
nnancienng and makes the Reading as
strong a corporation as there is in the
world. The arose receipts of the Phila
delphia and Reading system will here
after be $2,0JP,000 annually, and the
i -1 -1 , in i
uuuiuer ut its employees win approxi
mate 100,000, being more than ia em
ployed by any corporation on this
planet.
It ia now plain what was in Mr. Mc
Leod's mind when he acquired the
Poughkeepsie bridge and the lines tribu
tary thereto, which with the Reading
ana its entire augmented system into
i . . . .
the very heart of New England, gives it
the only rail route from the Middle and
Southern States to the East, with con
nections with all the important New
England roads, aud enabling it to vir
tually control the coal traffic of that
entire region.
Mr. McLeod has had in this matter
the hearty support of J. Drexel and the
banking houses with which he is associ
ated, of John Lawler, J. P. Maxwell and
George F. Baker, and the New Jersey
people, who have secured the largest
holding there is at present of the Dela
ware, Lackawanna & Western railway.
The success oi this combination, backed
oy tne strongest unanoial institutions in
the country, is assured.
ihe Decision of the Plumed Knlgln
Does Not Surprlsa Him
Albany. N. Y.. Feb. 8 "That doesn't
sound like Blaine," was the first com
ment made by Senator David B. Hill on
reading Blaine's letter declining to be
a Presidential candidate last night, lie
reau the letter through a second time
and then said: "This announcement
of Mr. Blaine's does not surprise me.
It's not in the form that I expected it,
but it does not surprise me."
further than this the Senator declined
to be quoted. He did not appear to con
sider the letter of any importance from
a political standpoint. For the past two
years, in his opinion, Blaine has not
been a Presidential candidate, and all
the talk about Blaine has not amounted
to anything.
DEPEW SAYS IT MEANS HARRISON,
New York, Feb. 8 Chauncey M. De
pew said Mr. Blaine's letter was cer
tainly the moBt important announcement
that haa been made in this Presidential
canvass. Blaine la certain of the nomi
nation and there would have been no
name put up in opposition against him.
He is Btill in a position to largely dictate
the choice of the convention. The devo
tion of the party to Blaine, both in its
leadership and rank and file, has pre
vented the serious consideration of any
other candidacy, except the natural dis
cussion of the renomination of President
Harrison. This letter, Mr. Depew con
tinued, makes almost certain the nomi
nation of Harrison.
ENGLISH COMMENT.
London. Feb. 8 The Globe today in
commenting on Blaine's letter in which
he declares he is not a candidate for the
presidential nomination, attributes his
withdrawal to the knowledge that he
would not be successful, and hia course
in the Chilian affair destroyed hia whole
foreign policy as far aa the American
continent is concerned. It adds : "To
rotend that there is any regret felt in
ngland because of Blaine'a failure
would be absurd. He is an enemy of
our friends and a friend of our enemies.
He n ver disguised his wish to annoy
Kn gland and he had recourse more than
once to the most petty and undignified
means to etteet this object."
PLENTY MORE AS OOOD.
Los Angeles, Cat., Feb. 8 The Times.
leading Republican organ in Southern
Calitornia, says: "The retirement of
Mr. Blaine, which cannot be regarded
as a calamity to the Republican party,
will give fresh interest to the contention
for the prize that is to be awarded at
Minneapolis, ana win nave the euect ol
putting the remaining candidates upon
a more even as well as more hopeful
footing. The President's popularity and
hold upon the Republican party are by
no means such as to make his calling
and election sure. Another Richmond
may enter the field who will 'wind' him
in the race aa effectually as Blaine would
have done. There are McKinley and
Gresham, not to speak of a quartet of
other available Republican statesmen."

archists at Xeres yesterday ia believed
to have precipitated the disturbances.
Last night proclamations were posted
about the city menacing the govern

of the Xeres anarchists and announcing
that there win oe lurtner explosions ol
bombs. The distribution of these proc

habitants, but the authorities laugh at
the matter and say the proclamations
are nothing but the vaporing j of cow

London. Feb. 13 In the courae of a
long article the Spectator says the retire
ment of Blaine from the position of a
candiunte for the nomination for Presi
dent of the United States has brought
? residency into special prominence,
he Spectator thinks Blaine's friends in
.Republican convention will not allow
Mr. .Harrison to be renominated. The
Republicans, the SDectator eava. have
an idea that a dark horse in Rooert T.
Lincoln, the American minister to Great
Britain, would Drove the most formid
able candidate they could choose. It
adds this fact is already widely
recognized. The Spectator deprecates
ne annoyance Americans otten snow
because of England's interest in the
presidency, and Bays the English have
no desire to interfere, but in a case of so
near relation tbey cannot help taking
interest. The Spectator concludes: A
European succession is not of half such
importance to us. The people oi this
country, despite their shyness and con
sequent cnurlinesH, are sincerely proud
of America, and they are anxious it
should choose well. They do not desire,
as Americans imagine, a president who
win Knuckle down to England.
