Eldredge thinks his declaration now fs the result of having felt the pulse of his constituents. “Wisconsin,” he says, “will go tothe democrats. ‘The Germans will not vote for Blaino— there's no use talking—and they'll carry the state over.” Representative Wallace, of Ohfo, who was the successful contestant_of ‘McKinley's seat in the | House, arrived at the Ebbitt house to-day.

He says he talked very little with the politiciansin North Carolina, and was not in a position tosay anything: about the situation there. He denies the truth of the telegram received from Greensboro this morn- ing, which safd he and other party managers had caused the withdrawal of Dr. ler as the re- ublican candidate for Congress from the nth ‘orth Carolina district, and says the dispatch gave him the first information concerning a change he had received. About the sttuation in his own state, he says: ajority for Blaine In Kansas may be Teduced to 50,000, but I don’t believe it will get Delow 60,600. “How about the St. John ticket?” asked Toe Srax man. “Oh, that won't hurt Blaine any—I mean ft will not hurt him materially. It will draw some few ‘votes, but that won't amount to anything.” Settling the Alabama Claims. THE TREASURY NOW ISSUING DRAFTS—THE CAUSES OF DELAY IN SOMB CASES. The Treasury department 1s now in process of issuing drafts and warrants for the payment of all cases in favor of the plaintiffs certifed by the court of Alabama claims the latter part of July. The Process of issuing drafts is very slow. They have to be prepared with great care and strict accuracy. Several Instances have already occurred where by the error of a single letter in the spelling of a name the error had to be reported to the court and cor- rection made; and in the absence of the judges this has caused ‘considerable delay in settling cases. This explains why drafts have not been issued earlter. “With ins exception, it is probable that Substantially all of the drafts will be ready for dis- tribution sliortly. The ag te payment is a Atte less than three million dollars. ‘This will leave tothe fund, after deducting the expenses of court and general management of the business on the part of the United States, a balance of about Six million dollars, ‘There ate about six hundred cases of class one yet to be tried, beginning on the fifteenth of October, when the court reconvenes. jit is expected that’ many of them will not actually come to trial, being excluded under cer- tain technical rulings as to jurisdiction adopted by the court, but in any event well-informed per- sons intimate that the balance of class one cases With the interest will not exceed one million dol- lars, leaving net to be distributed among war pre- mium claithants et Jeast five million, probably five and a half million dollars, So far as any estimate can now be made as to the amount of Judgments to second clase claimants they will aggregate about seven militon dollars, nsive of interest.

THE PRESSURE FOR THE PLACE NOT YET FELT AT THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT. ‘There bas been up to date Go great rush for the Vacancy caused by the death bf Sixth Auditor Ela, as far at least. as the Treasury officials are aware. The experience of the Prestdent may oe different, and the probability 1s that his daily mail has been largely Increased on this account. Asa rule people have an tdea that when the head of a department 1s away It would be a good time for them to bring to his attention “their little matter,” and so they send on thelr letters marked personal to the last lace which the newspapers have announced as he temporary stopplug place of the summertng OMlctal. If the subordinates can be trusted, such mail matter is treated by thelr supertors in’much the same way as the ordinary citizen treats the despised circular, but, Insteadzas in the cuse of the latter, being thrown’ Into the waste basket, they are Dundied up and sent back to the department, Itis likely then that the letters of appilcants for th auditorship have gone'to the President direct. At the ‘Treasury department. only one ap- plication for the place as been recelved, and that Was from an ex-member of Congress from Vir- ginia. ee Mr. Biaine’s Libel Suit. In the Blaine bel suit against the Iadianapolls Sentinel, the fifteen days allowed the defense in which to answer, expired yesterday, and the at- torneys for Mr. Shoemaker entered an appearance. ‘This action was necessary to escape detault.

A stormy debate occurred be- tween the straightouts and the Mahonites, who organized the convention. A resolution was passed condemning John 8.

As mentioned in dispatches in yesterday’s STAR, @ hurricane swept through Evansville, Indlana, yesterday. It was most destructive in its effects, Hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of property Was destroyed and several lives were lost. The steamers Silver Thorn and J.

THE POLITICAL SITUATION IN MAINE—EXPECTATIONS ITY IN SEPTEMBER AND TWENTY THOU; ‘VEMBER—MOVEMESTS OF THE BLAINE FAMILY, Correspondence of Tae EVENING STAR Bak Hanson, Moust Dusgnt, ME, August 26th, 1884.—The gubernatorial campaign in this state is at fever heat, and the republicans are alive to the situation, while the democrats, apparently without a leader, are perplexed and embarrassed. Hamiin, Hale, Frye and a corps of other able speakers are ‘on the stump and doing valiant service. Mr. Ham- lin spoke at Vassalboro on Friday night, and made ‘one of the most effective speeches of bis life. He | showed as much physical and mental vigor as he | did in advocating “s:. ors’ rights” Uhirty years ago in the Senate of the United States. From the ex- tended tour I have made through different sections: of the state, and from what information I gather from the republican headquarters at Auburn, T be- eve Gov. Robie’s majority will exceed 12,000 ‘votes, which certainly will insure at least 20,000 for Blaine and Logan in November. This immediate locality has become the great “watering place” and “summer resort” of the east. ‘The exicnusion of the Maine Central railroad to this, polnt is a great achievement, and will ald mate- mally in ng up this section of the state. THE ISLAND OF MOUNT DESERT 1s a little continent of itsclf. It 1s fifteen miles long and an average of eight miles in width, and contains about 120 square milea. It Mes 110 miles east of Portland. It isdivided into three town- ships: Mount Desert, Trenton and Eden. Its twelve mountains, varying in nelght from 700 to 1,500 feet, ‘with Its seven lakes interwoven, make a most re- makable natural combination of mountain and sei. Green mountain in the front, the highest and most eastern of the range, forms ‘the background of the plateau, on which the town of Bar Harbor 4s located, and’ looking east from its summit over the town and Frenchman's bay, dotted with its 100 islands, one geis a view both attractive and grand. Bar Harbor has twelve hotels; the Rodick, West End, Grand Central and St. Souvere are the largest. The Rodick has over 600 guests on its ledger to-day, but the Indications are that a very large majority of the guests will leave here during the week. Some of te small hotels (Iwill name the Des Isie, where I am now stopping, for one) and some of the large cottages that rent rooms are patronized by those who seek comfort. ‘There are some 200 private cottages and five churches. The Schools are first-class. A large new building has just.been completed. ‘The pest. office aud euistorm ouse buildings are inferior, but I have no doubt x one of Maine's able Senators, Who resides 1 Ellsworth, and owns an elecant cottage here—now occupied by Mr. Biaine and family, will Interest hlmseit in obtaining an appropriation trom Congress tor the erection of sultable buildings that Wilt Supply the growing wants of this community.
