Mil. BLAISE ASB THE CATHOLICS.
A ltrport thnt Cardinal Olliban Has Culled

Haktfokd. Dee. 13. The 7'imes of this even
Inc has the following Washlncton special
dospatch:
"There Is n very (rood reason for bellevlnc
that James G. Blaine will within the next ten
dais becomo. it ho has not already become, a
full-fledced Koman Catholic.
The story was started on Sunday by an Im
aginative gentleman of leisure, who. while
killing time In the Arlington rotunda, spied
Father Ducey, tho New York priest, who
acquired notoriety by marrying Maria NoIn
and James G. Blaine. Jr., Ieavo the hotel and
go to the Blaine mansion.
"'lhe centlemjn of leisure, knowing that
Blaine was sick, sick possibly to the death,
and knowing how prono man is nt such times
to Isplrltua Isolace. and knowing further that
Mrs. Blaine Is nn ardent Catholic, putting all
those facts together came to the conclusion
thutrathor Ducoy's errand was to enlist the
distinguished statesman in the Church. He
was so plcasod with the story that lie started
it on its rounds, and with so slight a founda
tion it went yestorday to several parts of the
countr).
"Joe Manley denied it yesterday, but when
Cardinal Ulbbons was Feen entering the
Blnlno house Inst night the story took, on nn
ndditlon.il plausibility, and this morn
Inu n prominent woman of socletj. to
w-ni'm tho story was tolJ. volunteered to call
nt tn ti lilaines. When sho was seen afterward
shiisaiil: "lhe story, oen though based on a
guess, is true.'
.Mrs. Blnlno told me sohorself to-day. She
did not say why ho had thus decided at so lato
a day. but Mr. lllalno has long leaned towaid
the Catholic faith: though, I suppose, the un
just exigencies of politics made it unwise for
him to sooner onter the Church.
" liut Mr. lilaino Is out of politics now. nnd
there ia no reason for him to fear the enmity
of the antl-Cathollcs.
"Mrs Blnlno did not say so. but I am In
clined to think thnt Cardinal Gibbons per
formed the ceremony last night, nnd thnt Mr.
Hl.une Is now-nf tho many who acknowledge
tho infallibility of tho Popo."

Boston-. Dec. III. Boston hns redacted her
Democratic, Mayor. Nathan Matthews. Jr.. by
a majority of more than. 12.000, a slight re
duction from last year's figures, and it seems
from the oarly roturns as If the Democrats
had secured control of both branches of the
city Government. But the vote on tho license
question astonished tho citizens. Tho first
returns Indicated trouble, nnd word was
quickly passed around the city that thore was
a majority for no lkonse. It cnuaed conster
nation that a city so large as Boston could be
induced to voto against license.
It wus an error, hut the majority in fa or of
licensed HiilopnH s only a little more than
l.UUU. The heayiost majorities against li
cense were In tho strongest of Democratic
ftrongholds. llils was tioenuso tho "ma

of tho future plan was to secure the onaetnunt

WAsntNOTox. Dee. 13,-Tho nttontlon of the
Secretary of State John VT. Fostor. was called
to-day to tho published Interview with the
Canadian Minister of Finance. thoHon.Grorgo
K. Foster, about thnt part ot President Harrl
son's annual message rotating to Canada.
Secretary Fostor said that the Canadian Fi
nance Minister's nrrnlgnmont of the President
wa neither justified by the messngo nor sits
tnlncd by his long criticism.
" The Minister considers four topics of great
Interest to both countries, viz.: Beelproolty of
trade, fishery rights, the canal discrimina
tions, and tho railroad traffic." said Socretary
Foster. "On the first point little fault is to bo
found with the Canadian statement, for the
reason that In only one particular does It
qualify tho President's declarations. But In
this particular tho Minister la seriously In
error. During tho reciprocity conference
ot Inst winter Mr. lllalno did not insist that In
n reciprocity arrangement a uniform tariff
would bo necessary for both Cannda and the
United States, nor. much less, that It should
be on tho line of the present Unltod States
tariff, ilo did ask that the schedulo should
not be confined to natural products, butshoulP
Include an agreed list of manufactured goods,
and that the reciprocity should be confined to
Canada and the Unltod States: and because of
those two conditions the negotiations were
fi ultles s,
"The fishery question covers more than a
century of voluminous discussion and pro
longed controversy, but n most limited ex
amination of It would show that at every step
In its history the exacting nnd unreasonable
demnnds of Cnuada have frustrated otherwise
harmonious adjustments between Great Brit
ain and tho United States. This is especially
notleeablo in tho fur controversy. It is a well
known fnct that In 1888 tho subject had reach
ed a completo basis of settlement ln London
between Lord Salisbury and Mlnlstor Phelps,
whon tho remonstrance of Canada defeated
the nriangoment and precipitated tho two
Governments Into the bitter discussion out of
which has grown tho pending arbitration."
.-perotnry Poster said that the Canadian
Mlnlstei'b statement of the issue Involved ln
this nibitration wan most imporfectand mis
leading. It was not a question of Ireo fishing
on tho liigheas.
"TheOovornnientnf the United States," he
snld, "does not claim that liehiingtjca is maro
clausum.iinddocs notsoek to restrict the legit
imate freedom of the ocean: but. ln the lan
guage of .Mi. lilaino. it doos claim that tho law
(if tlm sen is not lawlessness. It holds that the
fur seals born and rearod on the Piibllovlsl
auds.on which they spond a large part of their
existence nnd to which they return with un
vnrvfng instinct, represent a largo and valua
ble interest and industry, which should not be
permitted to be exterminated by the barbar
ous and inhuman methods of the Canadian
poachers, and it hns every confidence the trl
ounnl of arbitration will so doclde the vital
question at issue.
"lhe Minister douds tho canal controversy
hy shitting the real ground to an alleged com
parison of the relative advantages the United
Mates and Canada derivo from each other's
concessions, under the treaty ot Washington,
in the matter of navigation. The whole move
ment is evidently designed to force tho United
Hiatus to yield to Canada the free navigation
of the Hudson Hlver. a concession which was
lejt uni onsldered in tho conference which led
up to the treaty of Washington. Tho naviga
tion of Lake Michigan by tho Canadians was
then made the express and ample equiva
lent ot the navigation of the St Law
ronce. and if it was a fair compensation in
lad. what is It now when the commercial Held
of operations In Lake Michigan is many lold
Increased ? i-very attempt to bring about a
better understanding ot the question of the
cnnal tolls has been met hy the demand of
Canada that tho free navigation of the Hudson,
ltivershml be thrown In by us as the price!
Canada's- f ullllmont ot the simnlo terms of the
treaty of Washington. All nations have care
fully guarded tholr Internal uvenuos of com
munication and coastwise commerce from for
eign intrusion, nnd tho President has neither
the inclination nor the power, under existing
laws, to pay the price of Its surrender in this
instance to secure the observance by Canada
ot what ho regards as its plain treaty obli
gations." The attitude of Canada toward our railway
Unfile secretary Foster regards as the least
defensible of all hor relations with the United
States. "Briefly stated." ho said, "it is a de
fiance by her Govornmoutnna overshadowing
corporation of our national policy of railroad
control in the Interest and for the protection
of the public. While our American railroads
are under the restrictions of tho Inter-Stnto
Commoroo law. the Canadian Facillc Is reap
ing the bonollts of Its exemption therofrom at
en at inconvenience, if not serious loss to the
Treasury Department and to tho injury of
American interests. Our toleration of the
sj stem thus far has been one or tho many in
stances of the forbearance ot the Executive
and a distinguished mark of a desire to culti
vate fnendlj relations with Canadn. Certainly
It Is the last matter about which the Finance
Minister should llnd rault with Prosldent Har
rison's utteiances in his message.
" it would bo easy to multiply tho in
stances cited by tho President in which our
negotiations with Great Britain have hoen
thwartod hyCunnda. One of the most recent
may bo given, showing how an actual agree
ment between the two sovereign Governments
was defeated by tho attitude ot our neighbor.
The copyright agreement with Groat Britain,
proclaimed by the President on July 1. 18:1.
has beon rendered nugatory, so far as Canada
is concerned, by the allegation that it 1b not
"an International convention' within the
meaning of the Canadian statute."
Secretary Foster belleveB that tho Minister
Is greatly In error in his assertion that the
Frosldent'H message does not represent the
sentiments of the people of the United States.
" On all these questions." hosald. "there can
bn but ono opinion among patriotic Americans.
While thoro Is no disposition in this country
to interfere in tho slightest degree with the
political relations of Canada, wu do expect a
faithful compliance with treaty obligations
and fair and equal troatment for American
commerce, and thoro will be no division ot
sentiment on theso questions wherever the
President finds it nocossary to take steps to
enforce the one or secure the other."

The Npenker 'Will Not Tnlk About the, let
terPetty Mugwump Npltcn,
It having beon clearly established that the
discourtesy to Speaker Crisp nt tho Betorm
Club was premeditated, Presldont 11 Kllery
Anderson decldod thnt tho best way out ot the
scrnpowas to write a personal lotler to the
Spoaker. Prcsldont Anderson admitted yes
terday that he had mallod the letter on Mon
day. "It was addressed to Mr. Crisp nt the Houso
ct Representatives," ho said, "nnd ho ought to
haxoitnow. Iloinnygtvo it to the public. It
bo chooses. I cannot reveal Its contents."
Mr.-Anderson hns snld that the club only
called on thoso to speak who were In sympa
thy with Its policies on the silver and tnrlff
auostlons. A wideawake Democrat polntod
out yesterday that linger Q. Mills, who spoke,
was tho strongest klud of a silver man, Tho
club's treatment ot Mr. Crisp. It Is genernlly
acknowlodged. has Injured the ohnuces of any
candldnto lor Speaker whom the club may
suppott.
Averyomlnent Domocrnt snld last night:
"This treatment ot Speaker Crisp has shown
the Democrats of tho nation just what small
men havo been nt tho head ot the Mugwump
movement In this State. For hair a do7en
years Senator Hill, other New lorfc Stato lend
ers, the leaders ot Tnnimuny nnd of the nines
county Democrats, have all boen subjected to
their potty spite. Senator Hill was Invited to
a Iteform Club dinner a couplo of yeaisago.
He decllnod to go. nnd there ho was-Mnowilor
tlmn bpeukor Crisp. Senator 1IIII knows the
Berorm Club, if any man does. The membeis
of tho club rogurd personal fueling as good
politics. They havo slandcrod Senator Hill
for no other reason thnu that the ambition nt
certain high members of the club to hold
olllco In New iork State was thwarted
by him. Not n regular Demociat has
even suggested to Mi. Cleveland since
election day anvthlng about tho Ind
eral patron.igo duo to Now lork Stato.
'lhe Mugwumps, on tho contrary, did not wait
until the roturns woro ln beforo they began to
besiege the President eloct ln his home. '1 hey
have surrounded him over slnco, nnd their
wholo clamor is. "No did It." No Tammany
Democrat, no Hill Democrat, no McLaughlin
Democrat was ever so hungry for olllco as aro
theso same Mugwumps. They will not bo sat
lsllod unless Mr. Cleveland givos them the
Collectorship. Postiunstorstilp. tho Appraloi

The Democrats would llko very much to havo
them return to the ltcinibllcan ratty, wheneo
they came. But tho Keimblienns don t want

to-night to say whether or not he has recehed

he will mako It public if it hns been or is hero

talk on tho subject at all. He says that Mr.

soeaklngof tho Crisp incident at tho Iteform

"It was not much of a Crisp crowd, but no
Insult or snub was intended. The Speaker was
invitod to the banquet, but was not Invited to
speak, and it was nover announced that he
was to bo ono ot the speakers. Ho did not
leave the banquet hall earlier then many oth

intended, but. It thore was any such Intention.
I had no knowledge of it. nnd I huve no Idea
that Speaker Crisp blames mo. He is an ele
gant gentleman, a magnificent fellow, whom
any one who knows must like."
"'Will there bo any opposition to Speaker
Crisp's reelection 1"
" I do not know, but I hope there will. I be
lieve that, if Crisp is reelected, the Finance

It has been proposed to change the time lor

Mr, Baldwin echoed the wishes of Prnest

11 o'clock last night. In n fight two of tho
passengers were wounded, ono ot thoni dan

the fast vostlbulo enst-bound. loft Guyan
dotte about 10:40 o'clock. No stop wus
mado nt Central City, which Is nbout four
miles from Guyandotto nnd about thu same
from Huntington, nnd It is therefore supposed
the robbers got on the step of n car nt Guyan
dotte and romnlnod there. Tho trnln was
going at a speed of thirty-five, miles nn hour
whon four masked men suddenly appeared in
one of the sleepers. Sovornl oi tho passengers
had nlready retired. The robbers presontod
revolvers nnd commandod tho men in tho car
to throw ud their hands.
There was a gonernl compliance with this
domnnd. nnd one of tho robbers Btepped for
ward to collect tho spoils, whon a Cincinnati
man, named Klcher, who was on his bridal
tour, tripped tho robber up. 1 ho two tell ln a
clinch nnd a strugglo ensuod. The other rob
bers stood covcilng tho passengers, who
showed signs of hostility. Finally ono of tlm
robbers fired a shot nt tho plucky Clnelnnntl
man. Tho ball struck lilm In tho abdomen,
mnklng a probably fatal wound.
As this shot was fired Bovornl passengers
began shooting, and tho fire was roturnod,
Peter Drake, a passenger, rocolvlng one ball
in his right leg and another in his left nrni.
Perhaps twenty-five shots were filed. Find
ing that mnttors wero too hot for them, (ho
robbers pulled tho boll cord, rot, eatod to tho
platform by which thoy had entered the ear,
nnd jumpod off. The train crew soon ca-no to
the roscue of the nassongc-rs, but not until the
conductor hnd bogun an investigation into tho
stopping of the trnln. The noise of thoenrs
had drowned that of the pistol shots. Blood
was found on the lloor whero tho robbers
stood. Soveral Indies fainted in the enr dur

man who said lie was shot ln the right shoul
der, after tho robbery, by prowlers around his
house.
He says some one passed nnd lepassod his
window. Ho went to tho door nnd wss fired nt
and hit. He shut the door, and another shot
was llrod through it
Torgey corresponds exactly to the descrip
tion of the tall robber. Train Collector Zlm
mermar. says that as the tall mnn got off tho
train he fired nt him. nnd tho robber throw his
left hand to his right shoulder, which is tho
location of Forgey's wound.
It is thought Forcey fired the shots at his
home to glvo plausibility to this story. The
coat found by Bellamy, tho Chesapeake and
Ohio watchman, had a bullet holo in tho right
shoulder.
Forgey Is unable to produce any coat, and
says he lent it to his fathor. but ho cannot tell
where he lives. Ho came here two months
ago from Louisiana, whore It Is said he is
wanted for murder. Forgey is under guard of
two officers at his home.

Steamship Agenta Here Are Unanimous In

The steamship agents In New York all agreed
yesterilayr that- the rates from Europe to New

would bo Increased next year, and that there
would be no reduction for World's Fair tour
ists. Tho agents ot tho lines which aro mem

cable inbtructlons ln the altornoon not to Bell
any more prepaid tickets here for emigiaut
passage to tho United States.
Tho big English companies and tho Inman
company ate not members of the Continental
Association, but tho agents are unanimous in
the assertion that nn absolute restriction of
emigration, such as they thought would ensue
on all tho lines, would muke nn incieaso in
other rates necessary. The average price per

"Ihuvo read thu statements published in

the steamship compuiiles uro going to stand

whatever will glvo them tho greatest
amount ot profit I contend thnt thoy will

ning of steerage passengers, and utilizing all
their space for llrst and socond class cabin
passengers. A greater number ot cabin pas

yeai. it thev are proteoted against cholera and

tie up their ships nnd go out ot business
simply becnuao thoy may not be ullowed to

not want immigrants frijm Hamburg next
