wis ntea oy Mr. lilaine when lie
wrote" to" 'On'ttrHftii:Qiafejj-,-?ofi;-the.
republican national committee,
announcing that his name would
not be presented to the republican
nomination. The un was loaded
with a dynamite shell, which, ex
pioueii vtneu me letter was pub
lished, and although it was a week
ago, the reverberation may still be
heurU and the echoes will be heard
for months to come from a'd sec
tionj. The first question asked
was, what will be the result of -the
letter? The answer depended en
tireiy on whom you ask. It opposed
to Blaine it would be emphatically
insisted that the letter had com
pletely removed Mr. Blaine from
the field, but if you asked a Blaine
man, he would promptly reply that
the letter had insured the nomina
tion of Blaine by acclamation, that
his friends did not propose to allow
him to have any say whatever in
the matter. They were going right
ahead to nominate)' and elect him
president, as a small cempensation
for his accidental defeat in 1884.
So there you are. These two
classes represent the opinions of all
republicans. You can take your
i choice. But it is only fair to say
that the proportion ot opponents
to Blaine compared with his sup
porters is oniy about one to ten.
One direct result of the Blaine
letter is to show how much really
iond presidential material the re
publican party contains. There

Tne house has instructed the
committee on manufactures to
report n Mr. Millikin's resolutions
directing the secretary of the
treasury to investigate the sugar
trust in New York, on Frday
next A lively tight is expected
over this matter.
Having passed the Senate, the
Blair educational bill is now before
the house. wher its fate is envel
oped in much doubt.
Saturday was given up by the
senate committee on the District ot
Columbia to a hearing ou the Piatt
bill prohibiting the sale of intoxi
cating liquors in this district. There
was quite a large crowd present,
mostly ladies, and the hearing ot
the same old arguments on both
sides ot the question had grown
somewhat monotonous when the
slender figure of Dr Mary Walker
arose from a back seat, With a
silk hat in baud she made her way
through the crowd to the front ot
the tab'e around which the com
mittee sat, and asked for five
minutes time. She started out by
saying she was opposed to the bill.
This created great surprise among
the lady prohibitionists present, as
many of them remembered that
many years ago the doctor had
asked congress to pass a law almost
identical with this bill. She said
her reason for opposing the bill
was that such a law could not be
enforced. She said congress might
as well attempt to pass a bill for
bidding women wearing hoops,
bustles, corsets and trains, or to
compel them to dress like Dr.
Mary Walker. She concluded her
remarfts by saying that tobacco was
more injurious to the human race
than alcohol. The ladies, who do
not iiiluiate with Dr. M . y of lute
did Ui't leiish lire episode.

Troops to Shu Benito.
Guaymas, (Mex.) Feb. 20.
Great excitement prevails here
over the news that the Mexican
Government has chartered the
Alejandro for two trips to take
troops from Mazatlan to fcan Benito,
where Guatemalan insurgents are
invading Mexican soil. The
steamship Topeka is not expected
to return on her usual Mexican
coastwise trade, and this region
has been left without coast steam
ers for two months. For this
reason prices of sugar, soap, lard
and other national products which
comes by steamers from Manzanillo
have already raised. The supply
must come, therefore, from the
States.
The sloops-of-war Demccrata,
Mexico and Juarez, will also take
troops from Acapulco and other
ports. Tim im pret-sion here is that
the Guatemalans will not be easily
checked -

reached Sixth Street station at
3 :30 this morning. The party had
not retired, and were at once
driven to their respective homes.
They were all well, but fatigued
by thfir five-days' journey. The
baggage car was loaded down with
floral offerings. The journey was
a perfect success and evidently af
forded as much pleasure to the
people of the towns visited as to
the visitors.
MA OK HIS W.' COFFIS.
A Millionaire's Preparation for
Ueatb
There is a millionaire in Connecti
cut, who has now passed his three
score and teu, who has made his own
coffin and who has arranged all the
details of his luueral. his name is
Richardson and is said to be the rich
est man in Connecticut, lie is a
good business man aud has increased
a fortune which his father left him.
He is a crank on the subject of elm
timber for coffins, and it is now
forty years since he sent to England
for elm sapling. While it was grow
ing he told hia triends that he m
nuded to be finally buried within it
d that he hoped to have enough
wood from it to furnish cothus for all
his friends. A few ye-rs ago the
tree, hen over thirty years old, was
cut down and enough material got
o t of it to make three cottins. lie
packed one of these away in his gai
ret for himself, burning his name in
to the top and sidrs with iron. He
said that an engraved plate would be
to expensive, and his directions for
his lujif rai provide? that th simplest
ceremony should be used. Enough
of the wood for another coffin he
sent to Dr. Dix, he rector of Trin
ity Church New York, aud the other
planks he presented his only
brother. Dr. Dix i said to have had
a coffin made from the wood, but the
hrother, though he has sent his
thanks for the present, has not cared
do to.

The Herald's Special Dispatches.!
South Vai.le.io, Feb.- 27. The
steamer Julia was blown up this
morning and burned to the water's
edge. The vessel was plying be
tween Vallejo J unction and South
Vallejo. There were between fifty
and sixty persons on board, at the
Iiri6H:itl&)Hi): were-
killed and five bodies have beerr
recovered so far, they are those of
Michael Bronnelly, Albert Madi
son, Oliff Nelson, and two burned
beyond recognition. The body of
John Olives was recovered alive
but died from injuries. It is be
lieved that ten bodies still remain
on the steamer. Captain Gedger
and most of the crew escaped with .
slight injuries. Among the miss
ing are : Edward and James Rule,
John Campton. Timothv Hurley,
Jas. Williams, William "Connelly,
John Hodgkins, Mack Carldolan,
William Lamar, G. C. McDonaU
and a colored porter named Clar!..
Later. It is believed that there
were sixty-seven people on board,
of whom only seventeen have been
accounted for, and fears are now
entertained that the calamity is
much more seiious than at firsi
thought, indicating that forty per
sons were killed. The disaster
was due to the explosion of one oc
the petroleum yats and within a
few minutes after the explosion
the steamer sank in mud and
water, which now covers her upper
deck and all that can be seen of
her is her flagstaff. The wharf
caught fire and is still burning.
The telegraph office was also de
stroyed. The full scope of the dis
aster cannot be known for several
davs.

THE PANAMA CAN AX.
French Estimates or the Expenses of
the. Cirrat Dlteh.
New York, Feb. 26. The Post
reprints an article from the Econo
miste Francaise concern ing the
Lessep's Panama Canal estimates,
on the authority of Paul Lerov
Beaulleu. He says the lowes't
figure that would pay interest
charges and expenses and allow
per cent rn tne stock would
be
21o,000,000 francs per year; that
in 1886 that Suez Canal, ntwentpon
years after it was opened, had total
receipts of less than 60,000,000
francs, and, therefore it is ridicu
lous to claim that the Panama'
Canal could be reasonable expect
ed to pay, or possible could pav
200,000,0000 francs. He estimates
that the Pacific coast could furnish
tonnage approximately of 2,500,000
and that the commerce of Asia and
China would add 500,000 tons. He
estimates the probable
the lock canal between 30;000,000
and 35,000,000 francs. He thinks
