He Announces That He Wil! Not Be a Presl- dential Candidate. COMMENTS ON HIS LETTER TO GEN. CLARKSON AXD WHY IT WAS WRITTEN aT THIS TIME—OTHER CANDIDATES TO COME INTO TUE FIELD—SOME OPINIONS AT TRE CAPITOL. The letter of Mr. Blaine announcing that he would not be a candidatefor the preidential nomination and that his name would not go before the convention bas not occasioned surpriso at the capital, though there are many who deeply regret his decision. It can scarcely be said thatthe letter was ex- pected, but it has long been regarded as extremely probable that such a letter would be written before the republican national convention should meet. It has come, how- ever, earlier than was thought probable,and the fact that it bas been written thus early Fires t0 many tho impression that Mr. Haine, having reached a decision, is not will- ing to have his position remain indgubt merely to keep the field clear of other catididates Ai Jong as there was any chance of Mr. Binine accepting the nomination if offered to him no other candidates would deciare themselves, was too evident that none could snes contend against the Maine statesman. clear to the mind of every politician that the choice would lic between Blaine and Harrison, and that if Mr. Blaine postponed the announce: ment until the last moment and then declined to be a candidate it would insure the nomina- tion of Mr, Harrison. There are a number of men who would like to take the field against Mr. Harrison who would uot venture to enter into a contest with Mr. Blaine as a rival. These men and their friends have been very importanate to know what Mr. Blaine intended to do. This, it is believed, is the reason for his mak- ing an early announcement, and it is expected that there will be many entries at the Mlinne- apolis convention. MU. DLAINE’S LETTER, His letter in full is as follows: Wasurxatox, Feb. 6. To Hon. J. 8. Crangsox, Chairman of the Ke- publican National Committee: My Dear Sir—I am not a candidate for the presidency and my name will not go before the republican national convention for the nomina- tion. 1 make this announcement in due season. To those who have tendered me’ their support I owe sincere thanks and am most graterul for their confidence. They will, lam sure, make earnest effort in the approaching contest, which is rendered specially important by reason of the industrial and financial policies of the government being at stake. The popu- lar decision on these issues is of great moment and will be of far-reaching consequence. Very sincerely yours, (Signed) Janes G. Biarve. Itis evident that a very large majority of the republicans feel that this declaration is equiva- lent to a declination of the presidency, for they entertain no doubt that he would bave been nominated and elected President had he per- mitted his name to go before the convention. DEMOCRATS FEEL RELIEVED. Though democrats are not ready to say that any republican could be elected in 1892, they are asa rule very ready to declare that they believe Mr. Blaine would be the strongest man the republican party could nominate. As parti- sans they evidently feel relieved at his with- drawal. In the absence of any reason assigned in bis letter many theories are advanced. Some be- lieve that bad health has influenced his de- cision and others that he has yielded to the wishes of Mrs. Blaine, who has always been op- posed to his accepting the nomination. Zi Democrats are picased to think that his declination was influenced by the belief that the republicans bad but a poor chance of suc- cess with even their strongest candidate. WHAT 18 SAID IN SOME CIRCLES Men who believe that they have been pretty wellinformed as to the situation for some time say that Mr. Blaine has never desired to be a candidate and that when he has encouraged his enthusiastic friends with the hope that he might accept it has always been because of the argument presented to him that the mass of republicans insisted upon his nommation, and that no other candidate could save the party from defeat. For some time after the election of the Fifty-second House the republicans were in a gloomy mood, many of the ieaders feeling that nothing but the candidacy of Mr. Blaine, with reciprocity for a platform, would insure a reptiblican victory in "92. It was during this period, they say, that Mr. Blaine, being importuned, gave indications that, upon such a presentation of the case, be might consent to be a candidate, but that he did not believe an occasion would arise which would make his candidacy necessary. It is insisted that Mr. Blaine never wanted to be a candidate, and that the conviction that ‘Rnother could be elected, and that there was, therefore, no necessity for him to make the personal sacritice which his accepting the can- didacy would have involved,has resulted in the writing of this letter. While it is believed that several candidates will appear before the convention now that Mr, Blaine is out of the way, the general opinion is that Mr. Harrison will certainly be renomi- nated. SOME OPINIONS OF MR. BLAINE. Democrats, as well as republicans, speak in most complimentary terms of Mr. Blaine in connection with his letter of declination. Judge Chipman, in conversation with a Star reporter, said what expresses an opinion very common in the House. “Mr. Blaine,” he said, “‘will now be a greater man than he has ever been heretofore. The election to the presidency could not place him inas high a position as he now occupies, and in thrusting aside the temptation he shakes off all restraint and timidity, and places himself in a position to give full seep to the broad statesmanship of which he is capable and to be of the greatest service to his country. As strong as Le bus been in the past his fame will grow from this hour.” Representative John Lind, the only republi- can in the House from Minnesota, said: “I believe Mr. Blaine’s withdrawal is final and made in all sincerity of purpose. The ques- tion then recurs upon who will succeed hin in the choice of northwestern republicans, It is my sincere _— SS will be acceptable, not only to pl inmesota, but to Wisconsin republicans, and, in fact, throughout the northwest. HAS NOT A WORD TO RAY. Attorney General Miller was given an oppor- tunity this morning to express his views on the subject of the Blaine letter, but he declined and said: “I haven't a word to say Senet otc neat tess of a law brief with the air of a “considers the incident closed. CONGRESSMAN MORSE. Congressman Moree of Massachusetts said that now that Blaine had withdrawn he was for Gen. Benjamin Harrison, who had given usa letter of declination around the departments today than might have been expected. - ‘The fact that it has been cussed with an “ THE ROYAL'S VICTIMS. Looking for the Dead Among the Hotel Ruins, A HUNDRED LABORERS PUT 0 WORK. Crowds of Spectators Watch the Excavating. THE ORIGIN OF THE FIRE, SEAKCHING FOR THE DEAD, Recovering Bodies trom the Ruins of the jotel Royal. New York, Feb. §—The firemen of Hook and Ladder Company No. 12, w the ruins of the burnod Hotel this morning, found the body of a woman room on the fifth floor of that portion of the building still standing on 40th street. A few minutes later the body of a man was found be- neath a pile of debris under the sill of the dining room. It was intended to put a force of men at work on the ruins last night to remove the de- bris and vearch for the bodies suppowed to be buried in it, bot this was found to be impossi~ bie, as the fire continued burning in the base= ment and in the coal bins im the cellar and the ruins were too hot to permit of any organized woarch. At 9 0’ last night the engines were 86 oases and two lines of bose Were connected with the tire hydrants and streams of water kept on the smoking ruins throughout the n: Sergeant Sully, with lieved the police force ‘duty up to that hour, and an all-night watch beside the heap of smoldering ruins beneath which lay no one knew how many charred and mangled bod MANY CURIOUS SPECTATORS. In the early part of the night there were hundreds of curious spectators standing gazing at the ruins, but the police strictly maintained the fire lines, and only those having business there were permitted to approach nearer than 200 feet to the burned hotel. The heavy mist that prevailed in the carly hoursof the night changed to a cold drizzling rain, and the ranks of spectators gradually dwindied until but few remained, CLEARING AWAY THE RUINS. At 6 o'clock this morning there camea babble of approaching voices and there appeared upon the scene 125 Italian laborers, exch bearing pick, crowbar or rhovel, and the day's work of sea) ing for the dead was begun. ‘They were under the charge of Contractor Galligan, who had been emploved to clear out and search the ruins. There had already assembled out- mide the fire lines large numbers of many no doubt drawn thither by idle curiosity, but others who were friends or relatives of per= sons missing from their homes and who, it was feared, might be victims of the fire, watched the work begun by the laborers with’ strained, eager eyes. . TRE rust novi rouxD, they vettled down ‘The first body found at 9 o'clock on the fifth floor was badly burned and could barely be identified as that of a woman. There was nothing on the body by which it could be identified except a chased gold ring on a finger of the left hand. While the extension. ladder was being placed in position for the removal of the woman's body a workman took boid of What seemed to be a charred end of « picce of wood, but he started back with a cry of alarm. The seeming piece of wood was the charred leg of @ man protruding through and above the debris. The body was found to be iying head downward, where it had evidently fallen with the upper floors, It was jammed'so tightly in the timbers and mortar That it took over an hour to remove it. Them it was found to be thut of a man about thirty-five years old, five fect seven inches high, with dark hair and’ mustache and dressed in dark clotb- ing. On Lim were found « gold watch and chain and a triangular gold emblem on which were engraved the words “Life, Love and ‘Truth, ‘This body, which was the seventh found, was taken to the morgue with thatof the woman found at 9 o'clock. At 11:30 o'clock the eighth body was found about ten feet from the spot where the seventh body had been discovered. It was that of woman, without clathing, about twenty-five years old and five fect two inebes in height, Leneath the body were found a black cambric skirt, « bunch of keys, = small botte of cologne in acase anda check book, on which Was written the name “C. A. Huffy, Phila- delphia.” Near by were a new pair of lady's shoes, a leather trunk and valise. DELAY IN GIVING THE ALARM. Victor Follerin, a waiter, who worked in the hotel some time ago, gave in an interview this morning some interesting facts that throw some light on the origin of the fire. He sid that while he was working there it was a habit for rubbish to accumulate in one corner of the kitchen. ‘This pile of rabbish on three different occasions caught fire, but was quickly extin- guished by pails of water. Nothing was thought of it at the tame, but Follerien believes that it was here that the fire originated. This morning it is also learned on authority that Herbert Harding. the fireman of the hotel, who first discovered the fire, fought the flames for fifteen minutes before he raised analarm. This was the general belief among people who saw the nature and swiftness of the fire, but Harding denied it It is now said that be has confided this fact to a friend and by the friend's indiscretion some of Inspector Eyrnes men have learned the fact aud are investigating. A FRESH ESTIMATE. From a careful cxamination of the hotel rog- ister and the journal which was furnished by Night Clerk Underwood the number of persons in the building when the fire broke out was 152. Of these eight are known to be dead. Eighty-one were rescued by the firemen, as- sisted by citizens, before the walls collapsed and sixty-one are still missing. Among those who were rescued from the flaming building are twenty-four whe are more or less seriously burned and bruised. Three of these are at Bellevue Hospital, and there is one cach at the New York and Presby- terian Hospitals. The others have been cared for by friends at neighboring hotels or at their houses. itis not improbable that a number of those who are still among the missing today may haye escaped the frightful fate which #o are known to have met, but the thought of the possible loss isappalling. Until the great beap of bricks and mortar aud half-consumed beams and rafters which are packed tightly into the death pit have been removed no one can tell what that awful grave will disclose. ‘There are immense crowds around the rains and the work of digging for human remains is watched with eager interest. One hundred laborers are engaged in the work, which is going on steadily hour by hour. It is « difficult mat- ter to remove the outer surface of the ruins ‘and get at the interior,
