Rlaine and Sherman, WASHINGTON, June 9,—|Speclal Telegram to the Bek.|~There are a number of astute politicians in both parties, and especially the republican party here, who have kept a close run of affairs connected with the Blaine and Sherman presidential manipulation, who de- clare without reservation that there s a com- pact between the managers of these two statesinen by which the latter is to receive the nomination and the former be premier of the eabinet. They say that this 1s the secret of Blaine's Furopean trip; that he really wants Sherman to have the race, and goes abroad to give it to him. veral of the most intimate Blaine and Sherman boomers have been seen together in Washington and New York during the past fortnight, and there are various facts which make this theory very plausible, The Dynamite Urulser. WaAsmINGTON, June 9.—|Special Tele- gram to the BEE. |[—=Rumors are in circula- tion here to the effect that the Pneumatic Gun company of New York is not in condf- tion to carry out its contract respectiog its dynamite cruiser. Secretary Whitney, how- ever, Is reported as feeling easy about the matter as the company’s bond Is within nearly $100,000 of the proposed costof the ship. The shiv, if built, will be 246 feet long over all, with an extreme breadth of 26}¢ feet and draught of not less than 7i¢ feet. Shels to be built of steel, is to be provided with en- g;ne. machinery and bollers complete, 18 to fully equipped and armed with three pneumatic dynamite guns of 10§ inch calibre, an. to delivered to the government complete and ready for ser- vice. The contract requires a speed of twenty knots per hour, and that her guns shall throw shells to contaln 200 pounds of dynamite, or other high explosive, at least one mile, each gun to be capable of being discharged once in two minutes. ~The con- tract requires also that the vessel shall be comfllew. equipped, armed and delivered to the United States within twelve months of the date of the contract, about one-third of which period has already expired. E: lenced nhl{: buiiders express doubt as to the ability of the vessel to be completed to attain the required speed of twenty knots an hour 2' under the conditions prescril for ial, which are a mmeasured mile and smooth water or at the option ot contractor, a course of ten or twelve miles in sinooth water. Ord- nanee officers, both ot the lrm{ and navy, do not regard the tests to which the pneu- matic dynamite gzun has been subjected as by any means conclusive, Bancroft Busy. ‘WASHINGTON, June 9.—[Special Telegram to the Bex.|—I went up to ses Mr. Bancroft the other day and found him in his library surrounded with elght type-writers, clicking away as fast as their fingers could go. The racket was such that conversation was not only difficult but impossible, and when we got down stairs I asked what was going on. Mr. Bancroft explained that he was having copled the papers which he had borrowed from the widow of the late President Polk on his recent trllz to - ville, He brought home with him four large .trunks full of letters comprising the officlal and wmost of the private correspondence of the Polk administration, a lot of records, memoranda and other papers of great historical value, which he is now reading, classifying and h-vlni‘ copled by the eight fleet-fingered &’lu who surround him. He will write a history of the Polk ad- ministration, during which he was secreta of the lllv{t.l He has reached that pointin his history of the United States, but for personal reasons, and particularly because he thinks Polk has not had justice done him by other historians, he will pay rmculu attention to that era. Mr. Bancroft has a mass of ma- terial mvurl:’ the h!uwr{ of the republic to date, collected and classified for the use of his literary executor, who ever he may be, for he cannot expect to live to finish the work he undertook over forty years ago, being DOw over elghty-seven.

No one has yet been able to learn how Lamar would recelve the offer of the appointment if it should be tendered to him.

Bartson was in the pitcher's box for Omaha, and was hit easily, the visit- ors plling up five runs in the first Inning. Swift scored for the Omahas in the first in- ning and made ahome run in the second. The visitors were blanked in the second. The Omahas had captured a goose-egg in the ¢ hird inning, when the game was called on account of the rain. This gives the Omnaha club another postponed game and leaves it tied with St. Joe for the foot of the class. The St. Joe team leave to-day for Denver. Omaha and Topekas will play on the Omaha grounds Saturday, Sunday and Monday. LEAGUE GOSSIP. Manager Goldsby of the Topekas has not smiled since his giants were defeated in three straizht games at Denver. Bartson hass the making of a first-class pitcher. He needs practice on curves and accurate throwing. Mackey, the pitcher who was sent out by Spaulding for the Omaha team, is in practice and will be given a trial soon. Some of the teams that have been playing such remarkably zood ball for the past few weeks give indications of taklag a back seat. Leavenworth has released Dooms, their crack pitcher, who goes to Kansas City, and Beck- ey, their first baseman, who has been secured by Lincoln. It appears that the Leavenworth management h n weary of paying $8,200 a month for ers. L mored that the club’s franchise is to be sold , Wichita. The manager of the Dmahas is still search- ing for another pitcher. He offered Leaven- worth §500 for Dooms’ release, but was re- fused: Kansas City pald $700 for him, O’Leary and Healey are both getting in good shape, and with a third man will be able to do some good work. Am attempt was made to get the crack pitcher of the Savannah club for the Omahas, but Denver was in first. Several good men are “‘on the list,” however. Denver Again a Winner.

The clerk said: “*Mr. Sage will not see you Miss Mattern, so 1 think you had better call some other time.” “I knew It,” snapped the lady defiantly. “He's afrald of me. Oh, yes he is, you can't tell me. Well, all I can say (laughing hys- terically), is that he need fear nothing. All 1 want is a private conversation with Saee. He has given his version of the story and 1 will give mine. What's he afiald of? Do 1 look 8o very terrible?’’ After much hysterical talk she left the oftice but waited outside where she was sure to meet Sage. who was expected to return soon. The clerks held a consultation and finally one went to her and said: *‘Miss Mauttern, yon must go, you won't see Sage here, I promise you. Now please go and he shall meet you at 10'clock at the Rector strect elevated station, Will that satisfy you?” iss Mattern, who was really gettin weary, succumbed to this arrangement an with the needless information that she would be th. departed.

The whole matter is unfor- tunate, but what can 1 do? I'ma law abid- ing eitizen (smiling amiably). I only want what the law allows, That's the end of it.” Miss Mattern was seen last night in her studio. She wascalm and good tempered. “‘Sage wouldn’t see me.” she laughed, ‘‘he might have done so. He would have still been alive. 1 wanted him to do was to retract his statement that he speculated for me out of charity and sympathy. If there is & svot of charity in Russel Sage, one finding it for me will ‘be sultably rewarded. ‘I'he case will be fought to death. 1f Russel Sace buys everybody as he has bought some people, I'll shoot him as I would a rat.” et aa FINDLAYX'S CELEBRATION. Men of Prominence Discuss Timely and Important Questions. FINDLAY, O., Junc 9.—The events of the second day of the natural gas celebration were of widespread interest and imvortance and were witnessed by upwards of 70,000 people.

Senator Sherman and Mr. Halstead discussed between them the salient points of industrial progress and the timely question of capital and Iabor. Gover- nor Foraker’s speech was in effect a resume of one hundred vears of political ana financial _progress. T by Professor unds a new theory upon the permanency of natural gas, and one that promises to excite widespread discussion in scientitic circles. Professor Vail argued that oil and gas are a primitive distillation. The earth, he thinks, was a molten body, and in that state was a dis- tiiling center in which carbon was necessarily involved. He thinks all forms of carbon in- digenous to the world s now locked up in the eartl’s crust save what animal and vege- table life produce, His conclusion is that the great source of supply of natural gas will last for many centuries. all ex| ————— Doctors Favor Cremation.
