Mr. Blaine was made acquainted with it, axd promptly denied it, stating that it is entirely seasa- Uonal and unfounded. The story, as repeat- ed in Wash‘ ington, was, that @ draft was aid for Mr. Blaine’s benefit by Morton, lise & Co., of New York, and was after: treasurer of the Union Pacific railroad com- pany. In taking measures recently to cor- rectit Mr. Blaine receivcia letter from Mor- ton, Bliss & Co., “that no draft, note or check, or other evidence of value, has ever passed through our books, in which you were knowo or supposed to have any interest of any kind, direct or indirect.” ’ A letter has also been received by Mr. Blaine from Mr. E. H. Rollins, under date of Gist March last, who states that he has been treasurer of the Union Pacific railroad com- pany since April 8, 1871, and has necewarily known of all disbursements made since that period up to the present time. He is sure no money has been paid, in any way or toany person by the company, in which Mr. Blaine Was interested in any manner whatever, and that he makes this statement in jastice to the company, to Mr. and to him- self. Of course Mr. Rollias will contradict the new phase of the same oid lie. ‘THE ANTHRACITE COAL TRA’ is gradu- ally improving. as weil in production as in Gewand, ices remaining eatirely un- changed.—| Phila, Ledger, hing ab es | Sapi be We are anzions, of corse, after the long | MUiChinE about trees tn Capitol grounds, It emt, wate pore banhengesated »Y | elsewhere, and the vouchers show that it the prisoner, to have as carly a nearing @S | was ail paid for.
