A great deal of interest is felt here in the talk of Blaine's being indorsed for the presidential nomination by the Pennsylvania state conven- tion. That such a resolution will be adopted is expected and if it is not it will be because of interference on the part of Mr. Blaine himself. Those who are usually best informed as to the state of feeling in political circles of Pennsyl- vania assert that the sentiment for Blaine in that‘state is so strong that there is no possi- bility of overcoming it, though it is possible that out of consideration of his wishes the con- vention might refrain from any expression as to the nomination. If Mr. Quay is losing his hold on the state there is no surer way for him to regain it than by appearing as the champion of the Maine statesman. Insuch a position he would ride on the highest wave of popular sentiment and get a new lease of power. There is something more than the mere op- Position to Harrison in the booming of Biaine. onsiderable has been said concerning the cir- cumstance that many of those who are most active in trying to induce Mr. Blaine to come tothe front as @ candidate have heretofore opposed him, and it has been predicted that if he got the nomination they would again be treacherous; that their only object is to defeat Harrison and to provoke bad feeling between the two men. This may be so to some extent, but toa much greater extent it is true that men who have opposed Blaine before havo now become convinced that he is the very best man to lead the party to victory. A Stax reporter had a talk today with a very prominent man, who was among tho most ear- nest and conscientious opponents of Blaine in "84, who scratched his name from the ticket at that time and has been popularly considered a mugwump of the purest ray serene, and he said that he would vote for if nominated; that he had shown himself to bes very much sufer and abler man than his former opponcnts had thought; that he was now the greatest leader in the republican party and the only one who could be elected. He eaid that he did not alone hold this opinion, but that it was held by very many who had formerly opposed Blaine. They ‘believed that they were right in their opposition in the past, but that whatever faults Blaine had he would now stand a better chance of election and could be depended upon fo give his party a safe, strong and respecfable admin- istration. He declared that it was because of this feeling, and not on account of a spirit of discord, that men formerly opposed to Biaine now looked favorably upon him as a candidate. SEIZURE OF SEALERS. Capt. Hooper's Report of the Taking of the Ethel. Capt. Hooper, commanding the revenue steamer Corwin, reports to the Treasury De- partment under date of Unalaska, July 31, 1891, that while cruising in the vicinity of Pribyloff islands, July 28, he seized the schooner Ethel, hailing from San Diego, Cal., for violation of the President's proclamation of June 15, 1891, in regard to sealing in Bering sea. He says he towed the vessel to Unalaska and turned her over to the senior naval officer present on the 30th. The Ethel, he says, sailed from Sen Francisco May 2 ona hunting and fishing voy- and entered Bering sea July 3 and appears fobave remained near the seal lands antil seized. Continuous thick fogs prevented her being seen before. The maste: admitted the firing of guns from his vessel, but said that some of the crew had merely fired at a tin can for amusement. He expressed sur- rise when told of his proximity to the seal lands and said he thought he was forty or fifty milesfrom them. When seized there were found on the Ethel 181 salted fur scal- skins, 29 fresh fur sealskins, 11 unborn p sealskins, 2 sea otter skins, 1 hair sealskin, ai of whalebone. ‘The vessel hada complete sealing outfit with boats, ihe geo nition, salt, &0. She was surroun y seals atthe’ time. So plentiful and fearless were they, suid Capt. Hooper, that several might have been killed from the Corwin’s deck while lying near the Ethel. Capt. Hooper also reports thé seizure of » quantity of liquor on the steamer Lakme, char- tered by the N. A. Trading Company, and a quantity of quass (Aleut whisky) et Us enough, he said, to intoxicate the entire settle- ment. ‘He says he will report the fact to the United States attorney at Sitka for such action as may be fond necessary. At the date of his report the U. 8. 5. Mohican, Alert and Thetis, H. B. M.S. Porpoiseand Nymph and the steamer Alki were at Unalaska. gt eee Contests Against Indian Allotments. In reply to inquiries by the register of the land office at Pierre, 8. D., the commissioner of the general land office has directed that in all cases of contests brought by white settlers ‘inst Indian allotments notice of the contest shall be mailed to the Indian whose claim is assailed, in care of the Indian agent, and dupli- eate copies of such notice aball be sent to the agent in charge of the tribe, and also to the allotment agent at the time on duty in the vicinity of the agency. The agent and allot- ment agent will be expected to prepare and present such defense as the Indian may have, and the hearing will proceed in the local office and in the departmont precisely as in other contested cases. ea Ee Army Regulations Amended. Army regulations have been amended s0 as to provide that the commanding general of each department within whieh are the head- quarters of one or more regiments of artillery will designate, with the approval of the general commanding the army, a competent officer of artillery to be attached to the department staff, who shall be designated the department in- spector of artillery. “He shall inspect, under ie direction of the department commander, at such time and in such manner as the latter may require, the artillery troops at the depart- ment with ‘reference to methods and progress of all artillery instruction and prac- tice, and the condition of artillery material, re- ports thereon to be rendered to the depart- ment commander. During the continuance of the target practice scason at each post he will make such inspections as the department commander may direct, for the purpose of in- suring thorough, uniform and systematic in- struction. ‘Transportation of Returned Whisky. In response to an inquiry as to the right of withdrawal at Memphis, Tenn., for transporta- tion in bond to Cincinnati of certain returned American whisky forwarded from port of first arrival on L T. entry, Acting Secretary Nettle- ton has stated that there is no role to exclude any merchandiso arriving at a port of entry oF delivery under an L. T. entry from the privilege of warehousing and withdrawal for transporta- tion in bond to another port, but that merchan- dise reaching a port of delivery under a ware- house and transportation bond cannot be with- drawn for further transportation in bond. sacioanbinte ae ashanti Manrxz Banzacxs Coxcert.—The concert at the Marine barracks this week will be given to- morrow afternoon at 5:30 e’clock, because on ‘Thursday the Marine Band has been ordered to the White House grounds.

OVER TWO HUXDRED NAMES NOW REGISTERED— PROGRAM FOR THE GENERAL SOCIETY AND FOR ‘THE EIGHT SECTIONS—RECEPTIONS AND ENTER- ‘TAINMENTS PROPOSED FOR THE VISITORS. There were more scientists to the square foot in and around the Columbian University build- ing today than there have been before even in history of that edifice where so many gath- erings of scientific men have been held. The American Association for the Advancement of Science meets tomorrow morning, and the van- guard which arrived yesterday received large additions today. The room where the ar- riving members registered was the central point of interest, and here during the greater part of the there was a Constant chovement to and fro.” The sd- mirable system adopted by the permanent sec- retary, Mr. Putnam, and the secretary of the local ‘committee, Mr. Marcus Baker, works so well that there is no confusion and but little crowding. The new arrivals come in, register, pay their dues and are supplied with badges ‘and sent on their way rejoicing. This morn- ing over 200 names were on the register, which is taken as an indication that the attendance will be very large. THE FIRST GENERAL SESSION. The first general session of the association will be held in the law lecture room of the uni- versity building, beginning at 10 o'clock to- morrow morning. It will last about one hour. The retiring president, Prof. George L. Goodale of Cambridge, Mass., will introduce the president-elect, Prof. Albert B. Prescott of Ann Arbor, Mich. An address of welcome will bedelivered by Edwin Willits, the assistant secretary of the Department of Agriculture, who is the chairman of the committee on recep- tion. President Prescott will make a on and then the association will be ready for busi- ness. There will be announcements by the general, permanent and local secret an ‘then the hours of the sessions will be fixed and association will adjourn. THE EIGHT SECTIONS. The cight sections into which the member- ship'ls divided will, upon the adjournment of the general body, meet at once in their re- spective halls. Section A will meet in room 18, section B will meet in room 26, section C will ‘meet in room 81, section D will mect in room 25, section E will meet in law lecture room, section F will meet in room 33, section H will meet in room Mand section I will meet in room 28. ADDRESSES TO THE SECTIONS. The sections will appoint committees and attend to other business matters and then will take recess for lunch. The afternoon will be devoted, in the case of each section, to hearing addresses from the vice presidents. As these addresses form one of the important features of the entire meeting it is arranged that four meet at 2:30 and four at 4 o'clock. By this plan those who desire to hear more than one address can do so. Those that will be delivered at 2:30 are as follows: ‘Vico Prosident Nipher, before section of physics; Vice President Jastrow, before section of anthropology; Vice President James, before section of economic science and statistics; Vice President Stevenson, before geology’ and geography. At4 o'clock the following will speak: Vice President Hyde, before section of mathematics and astronomy; Vice President Coulter, before section of biology; Vice President Kedzie, be- foro section of chemistry; Vice President Gray, before section of mechanical science and en- gineering. ‘The gencral association will meet again in the evening at 8 o'clock in the law lecture hall for the purpose of hearing the address of the retiring president, Prof. Goodale, 4 RECEPTION AT THR ARLINGTON. At the close of the address the association will adjourn and the members and the ladies accompanying them will attend a reception at the Arlington Hotel from 9 to 11, tendered by the board of trade of this city. ‘The parlors will be handsomely decorated and the Marine Band will render a select program of music. Mr. M. M. Parker, the president of the board, Commissioner Douglass and Hon. Charles Foster, the Secretary of the Treasury, will make addresses of welcome, and appropri- ate responses will be made by the president of the association and others. The social entertainment of the disti ed visitors will be well looked after by the com- mittee on reception, as well as by the resident scientists. The program of the committee is not yet entirely complete, but so far it has been arranged to give a musical reception on the grounds of the White House on ureda: evening from 5:30 to 7:30. The Marine Bané will furnish the music. On Friday evening Mr. John M. McFarland of Edinburgh, Scot will deliver a lecture in the hall’ of the Na- tional Museum on “Evolution as Shown in Plant Hybrids.” The museum will be lighted up and thrown open for the inspection of visit- ors. While the association will adjourn on Satur- y, yet it is usual for the members to remain 8 couple of days after the close of the meeting, and this time is devoted to excursions. A num- ber of trips have been arranged to points about the city, which will add very much to the pleasure derived from the week's stay in this city. ‘THE LADIES TO BE LOOKED AFTER. The ladies accompanying the members will be specially looked after by the ladies on the reception committee. A room on the second floor of the Columbian building has been hand- somely furnished with rugs and parlor furni- ture, which will be the quarters of the visiting ladies. At the entrance palms and other foliage plants have been massed and the room is given very pretty and inviting ap- pearance. Prof. C. V.

Curcaco, August 18.—The feeling in the wheat and corn pits was very different this morning from that manifested at the opening yesterday. The wild flurry and excite- ment had all passed away and fluctu- ations were reduced to nearly their nor- mal range on an active market. The board of trade, proses pee report quoted spot wheat 134 pence lower and futures 2>¢ lower. This was doubtless the cause of the weakness in the market shortly after the opening. December started unchanged in comparison with the close merder, at 103. It soon sold up to 103%, ‘oke to 1023¢, rallied to 103%. broke to 102!; again and to 103 and off to 102% at 10 o'clock. The corn pit was very quiet, opening % lower at 63. September sold to 62%, rallied to 6353, receded to 68 and stood at 6314 at 10 o'clock. Provisions were quiet, September pork opened unchanged at #9.95, off to 69.9 and rallied to $10 at 10 o'clock. o., Sepiember rye,which closed yesterday at 1 was Difered this moring at 99. PRICES DECLINE IN BERLIN. Beatrx, August 18.—The grain market closed fiat last night, but at the opening this morning there wasa decline in prices and the market was excited. August rye, which closed yester- day at 267 marks, opened at a decline of 10 marks 50 pfennigs, being quoted at 246 marks 50 pfennige. September and October delivery closed yesterday at 245 marks and this morning showed a decline of © markt pfennigs, the Price being 236 marks 50 pfennigs. Wheat for August delivery opened at 240 marks, a decline of 6 marks from yesterday's closing; September and October delivery opened at 236 marks, a decline of 5 marks 50 pfennigs. The decline in prices was caused chiefly by the news of the government's action i bstitution of wheat meal fo ing of bread for the arm: growing belief that the situation been exaggerated, and that the recent rapid advance in prices was not warranted by the facts of the case. The hberal press continues increasing the ve- hemence of its protests in regard to the corn duties, painting in the darkest colors the dan- gers attendant upon further hesitation upon the part of the government. The same news- papers declare that the industry of the country is decaying, and that wages in consequence are declining in amount on all sides. Loxpox, August 18.—A dispatch tothe Times from Berlin says: “The danger of distress ow- ing to the,advance in grain has been greatly overrated by free trade agitators. The Berlin Reichsanz eiger says that winter-sown rye 18 estimated to produce 82 per cent of an average harvest.” Hampvna, August 18.—The Correspondent, in 4 semi-oficial article, states that the intention of the government to use wheat instead of rye for the army is an important advance in its de- liberate policy to make Germany more inde- pendent than hitherto of foreign countries in regard to her economic interests. Although the present prohibition of rye exports by Rus- sia may have been promoted by the fact of bad harvest, it is not impossible that at some future date political reasons might dictate similar measures on the part of the czar's gov- ernment. PAR es THE PRESIDENT’S TRIP. Departure of the Party From Cape May This Morning. Purtapetrata, August 18.—The Prosident and party left Cape May for Bennington, Vt., at8:45 am. on e special train, composed of the Pennsyivania railroad buffet car “May- flower” and the West Shore railroad buffet car No. 99. The presidential party, which consisted of President Harrison, Pri- vate Secretary Halfor¢ and Howard’ Cale of Indianapolis, traveled in the latter car. In the Mayflower were « number of newspaper correspondents who have been chronicling the President's movements during his stay at the summer capital. They are the guests of Geo. W. Boyd, assistant general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania railroad, and will go with the President as far as Jersey City. At Jersey City Russell Harrison and the President's stenogra- pher will join the party. The departure of the President was without special incident. His family bade him good- bye at the station and only a few persons stood around to watch the departure of the train. Camden was reached at 10:20, the run from Cape May, a distance of eighty-one miles, hav- ing been made in ninety-five minutes. ‘After changing engines the train proceeded at once for New York via Trenton. No stops were made between Cape May and Camden, and none will be made on the way to Jersey City, which place will be reached about 1 o'clock. Sanaa RE BANK WRECKERS IN COURT.

Couvanvs, Ouro, August 18.—Campaigners of experience say that a most remarkable feature of the campaign in Ohio is the impatience of the people to hear the leading candidates and the apparently studied delay on the part of both the democrats and republicans to begia the open fight. It is now two months exactly Since’ the fepublicens pieced. their ticket 1g nomination, and the date when McKinley will is campaign is still one week in more than ® month since the democratic state convention was beid, and Ex- ecutive Chairman Neal has scarcely made @ ublic appearance in Columbus.

Campbell has been #0 gentlemen have n quite busy for several weeks making seml- speeches at reunions of old soldiers and farmers’ pi os employed by both the The dilatory ta old parties indicate that they regard a long campaign as undesirable. A DISPUTED STATEMENT. The statement made here last week by Editor Miller Purvis of the Farmers’ Alliance Herald, an enthusiastic people's party man, that 50,000 Tepublicans in Ohio would refuse to vote for MeKi licans regard prophet, and this supported by his ex bell’e majo ceed that of Brough But Parvis has been engaged as a lecturer for the Farmers’ Alliance and in that capacit; 1 the rural districts of Ohio associated intimately with the formers. He has certainly been in a position to find out the true sentiment of the farmers on the question. ROW THE MINERS RTAND. There is another side to the question, how- ever, that probably escapes him. ‘The third party movement takes in a great many Iabor- ing men. In the great coal-mini districts the miners, who are all Knights of Labor, are as enthusiastically supporting the people's ticket as are the farmers, A large proportion of these miners have been voting with the dem- ocrats—probably three-fourths of them. The labor contingent of the people's party will be mainly «large defection from the democratio party. Nor will the farmer members of the people's rty all come from the republican party. Vhile it seems likely that the bulk of the farmer vote for the new party candidates will be com- Posed of dissatisfied republicans, the democratie defection from this sourse will be considerable. Mr. Purvis probably docs not take note of these indisputable facts in making his startling exti- mate. Let them enter the calculation, and the figures on the Ohio result again approach the unpleasantly close line where no cautions politician will venture a decisive prediction. FARMERS POT UP AN ANTI pew One of the few democrats in the last general assembly who refused to vote for Col. C. 8. Brice for United States Senator, even after the democratic caucus had nominated him, was Representative Munson of Licking county. Mr. Munson refused on several other occasions to be bound by the caucus decisions of his ty, which, together with his action in the was sufficient to cause hie party to “shelve” Lim. ‘The democrats in his county “§ Hominated another candidate, the peo- ple’s party have taken him up, and with the aid of the republicans, who are ‘too decidediy in the minority to hope to clect one of their party, will probably return the anti-Brice dem the next general assembiy. aati THE MONEY NOT A’ North Carolina's $25,000 Appropriation te the World's Fair. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. Raxeton, N. C., August 18.—A meeting of the board of world’s fair managers for North Caro- lina will be held in a short tune to devise ways and means for the exhibit of this state at the Columbian exposition at Chicago. The above paragraph may read strangely te thovo who aro aware tat the North ‘Caroling legislature last winter appropriated, or was supposed to have appropriated, $25,000 for that PErPove. However, the fact remains that un- jess the money necessary for this pu is raised by subscription other than by the act making the appropriation the state will have no jexbibit at the world’s fair. The reasons are these: ‘The legislature supposed that at least €25,000 of the €404,000 of the direct land tax refunded to this state would not be called for by those entitled to receive it, and so made the follow- ing appropriation for the world’s fair: “To carry out the provisions of this act the sum of $25,000 or so much thereof as may be necessary is hereby appropriated, and the state treasurer is directed to take it from the mone} covered into the state treasury from the United States Treasury by act of Congress, entitled ‘Am act torefund direct land taxes, from time to time upon requisition of said poard, signed by ite president and secretary and accompanied by estimates of the expenses, to the payment of which the money so drawn is to be ap- plied. Now, the fact is, this money is simply held in trust by the state, according to the act of Com gress, until at the end of six years what is lefe unclaimed may be covered into the «tate treas- ury. The attorney general has advised the governor that this money cannot now be dix verted to other uses, and so the governor bas addressed a letter to the chairman of the board of world’s fair managers. Besides, it is evident that nearly the whoid fund will soon be called forby those to whom itis due. The treasurer has paid out over $75,000 in less than a month, and the applications now coming in grow more ‘cumerous every day In his letter to the chairman of the board (who, by the way, is Elias Carr, president of the North Carolina alliance, ) Governor Holt says: “Under the circumstances, I have to suggest that you call on liberal gentlemen of the state to subscribe to a fund to meet the expenses of the board, and if any of this trust money is left over it may be applied to reimburse them to the amount of the appropriation made by the legislature. If you see proper to pursue this course, I will gladly aid you in any way I can.” The governor has just received a reply from Chairman Carr, saying that “‘the matter should have early attention, and will inform you of the ILABLE. North Carolina will be represented, however, if the patriotic men of the state have to go down into their individual pockets to meet the expenses. Such men as Gov. Holt, Maj. Steds man, Julian 5. Carr, esq., and other men whose pocketbooks are ample to buck their love of state will not suffer the old common- wealth to be either unrepresented or misrepe resented by a curtailed exhibit on so importan® an occasion. ——— SENATOR DANIEL’S SEAT.
