an important citizen of Koscilec, Prus

by four masked men . last night. -. His
wife, lying alongside her husband, was
uninjured.' The village was aroused and
an expedition organized to hunt the as
sassins who were soon surrounded in
the woods. - Two were shot dead by the
villagers. The other two, seeing escape
impossible, shot themselves, dying in
stantly. -When the bodies were exam
ined, letters of instructions were found
on them with the words, "Executive
Committee of the Polish Anarchists,"
containing instructions to murder
Deacon von Poninski, and to commit
other outrages, showing that the Polish
anarchists are thoroughly organized.

lake, sixteen miles south of here, in a
tent made of an old quilt, a woman and
four children were found last evening,
nearly nude, and living on corn meal
mush, fish and frogs. The mother said :
"My name is Mrs. Murphy ; my hus
band left me here three months ago and
told me to stay until he returned." The
children . were nearly as wild as the
wolves that prowled around -their
bivouac. The oldest girl wore a tattered
garment and rawhide moccasins of her
own make. The family were brought to
town ana provided lor.

Adsable, Mich., April 8. Wesley M.
Featherly, editor of the Lakeside. M on i
tor, known as the "Arizona Kicker,"

threaten to carry him to the city's limits
and there give him a coat of tar and
feathers on his naked flesh from head to
foot. He is a fighter, and will stay.

Blaine Is Not In the Race.
Washington, April 9. The freedom
with which .the name of .Secretary
Blaine has been used the past week, in
connection with his candidacy for presi
dential honors, ia wholly unauthorized.
A senator who has been as close to Mr.
Blaine during the past twenty years as
any man in public life, said today that
the agitation did not originate with any
body friendly to the secretary. "Mr.
Blaine does not want the nomination,"
he said, "and he could not take it. It
is unjust to, him to continue the use of
his name." Senator Hale said, "I do
not speak for Mr. Blaine, because I have
no authority to do so ; but I know that
he stands today as he did when he
wrote his letter of withdrawal. He has
not reconsidered his determination, and
he has given no intimation of any inten
tion to reconsider it. There is not the
slightest truth in the report that he was
worried into writing that letter. He
did it after full consideration, of his own
free will, and in opposition to the wishes
of some of his best friends,, and noting
has happened since to make him change
his mind."
U1I as a Fuel.
Chicago, April 9. Oil will be used in
place of coal, for fuel at the Columbus
fair in Chicago. The lowest bid for coal
was $2.44 per ton." The Standard Oil
company's bid was seventy cents for a
barrelof forty-two gallons of oil, and
72)4 cents a barrel during 1893. It was
shown that three barrels of oil would
produce as much heat as a ton of coal.
That meant a saving f about fourteen
percent, on the lowest bid for coal, and
the committee decided in favor of oil,
with the understanding that they are to
pay seventy cents a barrel until 1893,
and then have the privilege of getting
the oil at the lowest .market price, not
to exceed 72J cents a barrel. The prop
osition will probably be accepted. The
contract will be for the largest quantity
ever sold to one consumer. The lowest
estimate that has ever been made of the
amount of coal that would be burned at
Jackson park during the exposition was
75,000 tons. On this basis 225,000 bar
rels of oil would be used, but it is prob
able that the amount will be largely in
excess of that estimate. Oil lias been
successfully used for years by several of
the large power houses in Chicago, no
tably the cable lines. -

RAKING OLD STRAWS.
China's Refnsal to Receive Blair Comes
V: nn Again. '
CORRESPONDENCE MADE PUBLIC.
Mr.. Blair Injuriously Misrepresented.
Uncle Sam Responsible.
THE SCOTT ACT THE MAIN CAUSE.
The Affair Closed when the Resignation
- of Minister Blair was Accepted by
the President.
Washington, April 8. The senate
today made public the correspondence
transmitted by the president touching
the declination of the Chinese govern
ment to receive the Hon. W. E. Blair as
United States minister. The corres
pondence begins with a cablegram from
the Chinese government to its minister
saying Blair had bitterly abused China
while in the senate and was conspicuous
in the passage of the exclusion 'act.
Therefore China deemed it inexpedient
to receive him, and requested to have
persona grata appointed instead. June
15th, in an interview with the Chinese
minister, Assistant Secretary Wharton
suggested perhaps his government had
acted without full knowledge and re
quested a reopening of the case for con
sideration. June 22d, Blair, in a letter
to Wharton, denies abusing China or
Chinese, and asserts he was always their
friend. June 22d, Blair tendered his res
ignation. June 23d, Chinese minister
replied to Wharton's suggestion, saying
the viceroy directs him to state Blair
was not popularly regarded in China.
The minister recited portions of the
Congressional ; Record and showed the
real objection to be-the resentment at .
the passage of the Scott act, while the
treaty was being considered, the act
having a very bad effect in China. The
minister Baid if the president or secre
taro of state would repeal" the law and
put again in force the treaties, the situ
ation in China would be changed, and
Blair, would be well received if the pres- .
ident asked it. June 9th, Blair with
drew his resignation. June 15th, Blair
wrote Whin-ton" that it appears it is his
government which is non-grata to the
Chinese government, and that he (Blair),
will be well received whenever the
United States shall have purged itself"
of the offense. The correspondence -closes
with a letter from Wharton to ,
Denby, in which he says Blair ha3 been
injuriously misrepresented. Wharton
admits the incident was closed, so far as
Blair is concerned, by his resignation
which the president accepted. "
Smoke Clearing Away.
New York, April 8. Samuel Borrow e,- .
one of the vice-presidents of the Equita
ble Life Association, is very positive that
his son, H. Alsop Borrowe, and Harry
Van Millbank sailed for Europe by the
steamer City of Paris, under assumed '
names.. He told a reporter that his son -and
Millbank had decided to go to Lon
don, where they both had many friends,.
rather than to remain in New York,,
where they had been misrepresented
and misunderstood. He'declared that
he did not know whether the young men
had gone to Europe to call Mr. Fox . and
the Due de Morny to -account for" their
recently published statements concern
ing the Drayton scandal. .He would not
say whether a duel had been talked
about before their departure.
Fares to Minneapolis.
Chicago, April : 8. The proposition
submitted to the transcontinental asso- - -ciation
for a half fare rate to the demo
cratic and republican national conven
tions has been -defeated, the Southern
Pacific casting its vote in the negative.
This is the only association in the coun
try which has declined a half fare rate
fr these national conventions. Had
the applications been granted the round
trip rates from California to . Chicago
would have been $70. A r6und trip
ticket can now be purchased for $100. It
is not unlikely, however, that the other .
transcontinental lines will : grant the
concession regardless of the Southern
Pacific's veto.
Another package is missing, from the
shipments of Wells, Fargo & Co. on
Puget Sound. This one calls for $1,100
to have been delivered at the Orting
office, from San Francisco. ' The Orting
officials are charging with playing poker.
