They had been plied with inguiries and com- ments by their friends which they were unable to meet. While the President was in Vermont and after his arrival, at Suratoga there appeared in the newspapers a published interview aileging that Gen. Alec bad said that Mr. Blaine had informed him that he would be # candidate for presidential nomination. The President When he saw this knew that it was not true. He knew that the Secretary bad never in mated to Alger or any one else what his views were on the subject and had retrained from even hinting at the subject one way or the other. “Mr. Manley, ina recent interview, re- marked that no man had any authority to say what Mr. blaine’s views were for 1892; that Mr. Blaine had been a candidate and had’ been de- feated; that Mr. Bhine is not now a candidate, but ii the republican party should determine to ten der him the nomination he would not decline. ‘The statements that any friction exists between the President and Secretary Blaine are entirely without foundation.

MAYBRICK MAY GO FREE. 4n Ingenious Legal Plea in Her Behalf to Be Made to the Courts. ALondon dispatch to the New York Herald says Mrs. Maybrick is to be saved from a life- long imprisonment unless the plans of her friends miscarry. It is likely that within a few days an application will be made for a writ of habeas corpus, upon which it is proposed to test one of the most extraordinary points ever raised ina British court of justice. The pre- Togative of the queen in commuting the ven- tence of the alleged husband poisoner will be put upon trial ine way that may startle the public. During the two years’ silence that has fol- lowed the trial of Mrs. Maybrick one man has toiled steadily to unravel the mystery # rounding her terrible fate. He is Alexan William ~Macdougal, a barrister of Lincoln’ Inn, who presided at a public meeting held to protest against the miscarriage of jnstice that resulted in conviction. With the assistance of a few mea and women who have taken an interest in Mrs. Maybrick he traced out, step by step, the remarkable series of events that led to her downfall. He has written a large Tolume on the case, which has just been pub- e NEW EVIDENCE BROUGHT OUT. In this book Mr. Macdougal arraigns the Judge, the jury and all who were interested in convicting Mrs. Maybrick. He makes public new evidence—private letters that throw strong light upon this famous case; but it is upon a point of constitutional law that the new attempt to pluck the prisoner from her cell is to Le made. It is not an appeal for pardon, but a demand for an unconditional discharge, based upon the law. The test will be made upon the decision of Mr. Matthews, the home secretary, in advising the queen “to respite the capital sentence on Florence Maybrick and to commute her punishment to penal servitude for life, inasmuch xs, although the evidence leads clenrly to the conclusion that the prisoner administered and attempted to administe: arsenic to her husband _ with intent to murder, yet it does not wholly exclude a reasonable doubt whether hix death was, in fact, caused by the administration of arsenic.” The home secretary came to this decision fter taking the best medical and legal advice that could be obtained.” WAY WER RELEASE 18 DEMANDED. Counsel have examined the laws of England back to the time of Edward and have found that, without any exception, the power of the sovereign to use the supreme prerogative is strictly confined to acts beneficial to tho sub- ject, and the sovereizn cannot use the royal Prerogative to the injury of the subjec Mrs. Maybrick was indicted for murd was not called upon to answer to any charge. The home secretary has declared that there is a reasonable doubt whether Mr. May- brick died of arsenic poisoning. He has de- clored it officially in the most explicit terms. Jt is true, he thinks, that Mrs. Maybrick un- qiestionably attempted to poison her husband, but that is not the question. She was not tried for attempting: it was against the law to try her on such a charge.

ANOTHER CHANCE FoR HER. Still another gateway to freedom is provided in a suit brought by Mr. Cleaver, Mrs. May- brick’s solicitor, against the New York Matual Life Insurance Company for £2,200, the insur- ance on the life of Mr. Maybrick in favor of his imprisoned widow. The policy is for £2,500, but £200 was paid without protest. ‘The in- surance company claimed that it was not bound in case murder had been committed by It can now be authoritatively stated that the will be determined by ‘Mr. Riaine in the interests Gen.

Constantine inherited €1,000,000 upon the death of his father, a wealthy manufaciurer of Athens, whose only son he was, and he pro- ceeded at once to take all the enjoyment he could out of it. He built a large amphithonter in the suburbs of Athens, and besides introduc ing all the sensual reveiries of eastern conti- nental countries, he revived the games known to his ancestors.

The courts have decided that if it was murder the company was not obliged to pay, and Mr. Cleaver challenges the insurance company to prove that it was murder. The verdict of the iverpool jury will not do: it is not evidence in a civil action. To avoid paving the sum claimed on the policy the company will be forced to prove the ‘crime by witnesses in court. That will give the defense a chance to introduce a mass of newly discovered evidence. The most important thing is that Mrs. Mav- brick can be called and sworn asa witness. Sho was not allowed to testify in her own behalf in the Liverpool trial. The court simply per- permitted her to make a brief statement and refused to vllow proof that the same statement had been made to two persons even before the coroner's inquest. Uniess the insurance company fears to fight the case and sueceeds in backing out by effoct- ing a compromise with Mr. Cleaver the friends of Mrs. Maybrick feel certain that she can establish her innocence. soe Prairie Fires in South Dakot.

A London dispatch to the New York Herald says: Tom Ochiltree has immortalized himself in Germany. A few days ago the colonel, ac- companied by Mr. Belvin and wife of Chicago, started from Carlsbad on the way to Homburg. When about to enter the train several French- men made a rush to get in before them. Oue fat Frenchman, more eager than the others, seized Mr. Belvin by the coat tail and tried to hold him back. Mr. Belvin, who was very angry and who would have thrashed the fellow but for the presence of his wife, simply pushed him back. When the Americans had entered the compartment the Frenchmen grew more in- sulting and the situation became red hot. Ochiltree boiled over with rage, and though after awhile peace brooded o'er the scene it Nas only apparent peace. Down in the depths of the great Texas colonel’s bosom a storm of Passion raged. He smiled, but only as lions smile before leaping upon their prey. ‘We've got to do something to teach that ruffian a lewson,” said Ochiltree to Belvi “something that will make him remember this little meeting as longas he lives. Just give me time to think and I will get up » plan.” ‘The colonel thought and thoughtand thought. “T've got it!” he saic ‘we'll have him ar- rested as a French spy.” He rubbed his hands and chuckled, Ochiltree then went forward to another part of the train, where were two German officers, and soon engaged in conversation with them. As the colonel talked there wasa look of aston- | ishment on their faces, and the officers grew pale. Ochiltree told them that the fat Freneh- man had been taking notes about the German fortifications, had been acting in a very sus- Picious way and had been making inquiries about the military defenses of Germany. Both officers were excited and begged the colonel to continue the details. The colonel gave them all the details they could wish, and then called Mr. Belvin to prove his state- ments. idn't they take notes about the fortifica- tions?” asked Ochiltree. Mr. Belvin, who could hardly keep a straight face, tried to look serious. ‘He certainly acted in a very suspicious way,” said he. “Of course, he talked in French and I could not understand im, When the train reached Wurtzburg the two ofiicers rushed from it in terrific excite- ment. Among the officials at the*station there was a rush to look at the fat Frenchman, who grew red in the face and looked enspiciously at oe tree.

The ‘Frenchman protested that he was innocent, but the German officers shook their beads ’and rolled their eyes. ‘The prisoner was furious, but was taken offand locked up, while Qchil- tree and Belvin continued on ‘their way re- joicing.

The citizens of Georgetown, Ky., are con- siderably alarmed over threatened disturbances by colored people on account of the lynching near there last Thursday of the negro murderer, Dudley, who was taken from jail by a mob and hanged, while the Kendalle, the white men in jail for murder, were not molested. Retaliatory measures have been threatened by the blacks. Friday toward evening the leading citizens had arranged that the signal for any sudden up- rising #houtd be the ring of the fire alarm over the engine house by night. Just before 11 o'clock a bright ruby glow illuminated the sky in the direction of Judge Gearge V. Paine’s place, and almost immedi- ately the fire bell pealed its alarm out over the wakefal town. Instantly there was a rush of many men from different quarters to the place appointed, among whom were the sheriff, J. W, Ford, and William Owens, a prominent lawyer. These gentlemen took: charge of the band of de- termined men, and thoy decided thet the fire was an attempt on the part of the negroes to draw them out of the business part of the place 0 that the houses could. be set on fire in their absence. The fire department was sent to Judge Paine’s place, and it was found that his tobacco barn and stripping room were on fire and also a bugs strawtack hiad been fred acd was vending up volumes of flames end smoke. It was useless to attempt to put ont the fire, ‘and the firemen started lack. ‘At this moment there was another alarm id it was found that Pauline Ball, a dou i College, had Be : in the basement. This fire ‘was extinguished by the president, Dudley, and. other citizens. About the same time. this alarm was given ane other came from the direction of Hamilton street, caused by the. flanes rising from a rear room of Judge Bates’ house. ‘The window of the room had been pried open and the incen= diarier had fired it fom the inside In the meantime Sherif Ford and Mr. Owens had been arming their foree of nearly 200 men from the three hardware stores of ‘the town. Many of the men had brought arms with them, and those who had not were furnished from tho lores.
