Xot a, Blaine, but an Anti-Harrison
Fight A . . LakevarmseMr and
Kound by Instrnctions.
Chicago, May 31. Unfortunately for
it, the Blaine movement is not regarded
as being exactly what it pretends to "be.
There is a suspicion that back . of it.
masquerading in the glitterin'g jwaiQjr of
the "plumed knight," is somepiing uii
knightly base. It is doubtful whether
the men who are now turning; tbeitfaces
toward Minneapolis! keeoine steD to
Blaine Blaine, James G. Blaine, are sin
cere in their declaration that Mr. Bkwne
will be nominated ; that if nominated he
would accept, or if he accepted he would
be able physically to stand the labor and
harrassments of a presidential contest.
This feeling leads to a search for other
motives than the Blaine, motive in the
fight against President" Harrison. It is
perfectly clear that the Blaine cry has
been raised merely to muster a following
tnat can be directed against Harrison
The magic name of the magnetic states
man can be relied on to bring forth both
numbers and enthusiasm.. It is not im
probable that the opponents of Mr. Har
rison nave mi .view the possibility of
forcing the president out of. the fight
Ihey may push Blame up to the point
where a roll-call is the next thing in or
der. . They may menace the Deace of tho-i
party and the good order of the conven
tion, and all for the purpose of nomina
ting, not Mr, BIaine, but some one who
will subserve their individual ends and
ambitions. It is necessary to keep in
mind that this is an anti-Harrison fight,
not a Blaine fight. '-
The men and the delegates who favor
the president's' renomination are not
violently enthusiastic' for him. ; Some Of
the three hundred delegates who are in
etructed for him are bound only by their
instructions. ..It is so with some of the
Illinois, delegates. . They are '. ji degree
worse than lukewarm.. ..The backers of
the president know this, and they realize
that it is a menacing danger. Orowine
up out of the Blaine movement is there'
fpre a possibility that by threatening
Harrison with an undignified defeat the
Blaine demonstration may drive, him
from, the field upon the promise that Mr.
Blaine, too, will withdraw.;.. That this
desperate hope finds lodgement in : the
bosoms of the Ciarkson crowd is apparent
Beyond'that point it would be difficult
to cast a horoscope; . Yet the . over wean
ing ambition of Alger is no small factor
in this general nproar.
. Old To& Sutter Oold. . ,
Sacramento, May 31. The - sealed
metal receptacle found on the site of old
Fort Sutter last week by. the contractor
who is building a memorial hall hee
for the native sons of 'the: "golden west,
who now own the site, contained over
f 20,000 worth of gold dust. . This find
may make a difference ' in "the. plans of
the hall to be erected. Other .deposits
of like character, are supposed to be bur
ied in the vicinity. It has always been
believed that -there are J considerable
sums in dust hidden around the old fort
by, miners 1 who, came down 'from; the
mountains in early davs and who died
or iVfere--'killed I before J' recovering' it.
Notably In this supposed fo be the' case
during the cholera plague of the early
fifties, when scores died suddenly in and
around this historical spot.
- ; Tne Epworth Iag-iie.
OMAHAj May 31. -Yesterday a through
discussion of the work of the Epworth
league was bad, and every depart men t.of
this growing society, was carefully, in
vestigated -and - a - number - of improve
ments were made in the management of
this yoong but: vigorous organization.
While the church believes it tlje best
policy to hav& ill the young people go
into this one society, yet it :will not an
tagonize any society whose object' ia the
same but whose name is different from
that of the Epworth league. Dr. J. F.
Berry, the present editor ; of the .Ep
worth Herald, received 404 out ot -430
votes, And was re-elected. - - .
' Mob Law fiampart.
Mokristowx, Tenn., May 30. Charles
Weims, colored, is in -jail here charged
with attempting to assault a white
woman at Chattanooga on May 19. That
is a commonplace statement that covers
an exciting aperience. Wiems was ar
rested immediately after the alleged as- j
sault and was jailed ; at Chattanooga. '
The next night a mob captured the jail,
only to find that Wiems had been spirit
ed . away.' His ' whereabouts : were ' un-1
known for 24 hours, when he was located
at Nashville. Mob spirit became ram
part and a .second riot followed in- the
capital city, in which a dozen, men were
hurt.'one seriously. The police forced
the cro.wd back, while Wiems in the garb
of the jail cook, boldly walked out and
joined the officers at the depot, . Then
began a race that outclasses anything
ever seen in this state, in which the
telegraph operators along the railroads
joined in and, as far as possible, kept the
town ahead informed. In five days' he
had traveled 1000 miles, saw over 200
mobs ready to lynch him, was refused
admission to a score 01' jails, was attacked
in three, went 24 hours without food,
during which time he traveled '25 miles
over the worst mountains in the state ;
was thrown from a train ; was shot at
and visited three states, and was so near
two others that ho could, see them. If
the storv could be told with nil its de
tails, narrow escapes, exciting encount
ers,. wild rides, lonely walks and agonies
of suspense, it would outrival a novel.
Weims claims the woman met him by
appointment. v , .
Fftrringrton's Saginaw Deposit.- -S.vgixaw,
Mich., May 31. On Satur
day $2,000 in gold and silver was found
in the cellar of a house in Midland that
was once occupied by Hank Farrington.
It is supposed the money was concealed
by him in 1870. Farrington was a 'jew
eler in Saginaw and neighboring towns
ior'inany years, and was suspected of
being connected with a gang of counter
feiters. In October, 1874, a man named
Stewart, living in Ausable, Mich., was
murdered and robbed of several hundred
dollars. ; Farrington was convicted of
the crime and sentenced to the peniten
tiary tor lite. Alter serving some years
he was pardoned and went back to Au
sable, where an old indictment against
him was revived. - Being warned he em
barked in a small boat with the inten
tion of escaping to Canada, but the boat
was capsized in a storm anr Farrington
was drowned. Hisson,aprinteremployed
in a Saginaw newspaper office, will take
steps to recover the buried treasure

Slogging Match.
As showing the interest in a prize fight
in London laet night, at the national
sporting club rooms,1 it is said that al
though the members of the club who had
seats reserved, subscribed from $25 to
$500 for the privilege, and paid $125 more
for every guest introduced, the hall was
crowded to its full capacity. ; According
to social and sporting standards, a finer
attendance never gathered to witness
prizengnt. Almost every conspicuous
sportsman in London was ' presents
Most of the crowd were in evening dress
B. J. Angle, who refereed the Isahvan-
Mitchell fight in France, was selected as
the referee. Lord Lonsdale introduced
the principals in a neat speech, in which
be said fair play would be given both
men. "

WHY OUR XAVlf XBEI) JIOT BE LAKGE
The Most Formidable Army 'the World
Has Ever Seen Oar Recruiting
Stations. ' -
Chicago, May 31. Of the many
memorial addresses delivered in the
United States yesterdav. none could
have been more patriotic than Ahat of
ex-President Rutherford B. Hayes at
Columbus.. Among other things he
said: ''The astounding progress -of
America during the war, and by reason
of it during the last 27 years, has carried
us forward and upward until we have
reached a rank among nations so com
manding that we ourselves can hardly
realize either the privileges that are
ours, or the responsibilities and the
duties which those privileges impose
upon us. .It is our privilege to be witll
out extensive and costly fortifications,
because we do not need them. We have
only a small navy because with our re
sources we are able, if need come, to
subsidize the ships of almost all the
other nations except those of the power
with which we are at war. We have to
day the largest, cheapest, safest, most
efficient and formidable army this world
has ever seen. It consists of more than
10,000,000 educated men, who are not
merely self-sustaining but who are en
gaged in the peaceful : industry of civil
life, constantly adding, to our wealth
and power. To keep this army up to its
maximum strength, we have more than,
a quarter of million echoolhouses under
the old flag, every one of which is at
once a fortress and a recruiting station
for ttfeArnjy. of this republic." He
added: "Thisation should be the
peacemaker of the world. We could,,
better afford to suffer a wrong, especially
when dealing-with the weaker nations.
America should engage in no war not
absolutely forced on her, but once in it
should cease only with the annihilation
of the power that caused it, so that there
never could be a repetition of the con
flict with that nation. . .
The ' War Ship Oregon. .
Portland, May 31. Now that the
cruisers' attraction and decoration - day
ceremonies are ; ended the next '
idea here would be a celebration' of tho
glorious Fourth, but as the pride of the
city rests upon the exposition, more 'or
less, it is thought the celebration will be
omitted that people may be given a rest,
arid time to prepare the more effectually
for the exposition. An attraction almost
eqnal to the cruisers will be the model
of the battle ship Oregon, which Supt.
Mitchell has secured to be placed among
the exhibits at Portland.' The total,
measurements of this splendid miniature
ship are:' Length, 0 feet 7 inches, beam,.
4 feet; and will weigh 1,280 pounds. It
will not be completed vbef ore the Tatter
part of August,' when it will be shipped
at once from Washington. It will be a
perfect fac-simile of this, the greatest
batfle-ship in the United States navy in
commission., under construction or con
templated construction. ' The guns, ma
chinery and every detail will be com
pleted on an exact scale...-

Boston", May 31.-Geo. WBohd; the
celebrated wool expert, died'iivhjB city
yesterday;' aged 80 y&rs. Mr.' Bond
was remarkable as an expert in wools,
and was twice employed by the "United
States government to prepare standard

classification of wools was recognized as
the highest authority upon the subject.
