TENAY LEAVE THE CABINET Announcement of Secretary Blaine's Inten- tion to Resign His Portfolio, WORK OF THE OFFICE IS TOO CONFINING Sis alth Demands Balubrions Climate Th Along th Probable Su Rest n That About exsor, and a M Afforde His re WasmiNaroy Buneau or tie Bes, ) 513 FOURTEENTH STRERT, ( Wasnisaros, D, ., Fob, 9. Socrotary Biaine's resignation from the cabinot will, after a reasonable interval, fol Jow his letter of withdrawal as a presidential possibility I"or this statement your correspondent has authority second only to that of Secretary Blaine himself. Mr, Blaine has reached a definite dotermination to resign his commis- sion as secretary of state, Only the date at wh Lhis action shall be taken remains un determined. Mr. Blaine, if ho follows his personal inclination, would tender the presi- dent his resignation at once, but he realizes that such an act following immediately upon his letter to Chairman Ciarkson would be widely misiterproted and would be con- strued by the opponents of tho republican party © as an act of pique or s indicating serious differences botweon the vresident and his premicr. Tuerefore, Mr. Blaine will postpone his resignation from tho cabinet until time enough shall have elapsed o separate in the public mind that act from his announcement that his name would not #0 before the republican national convention for the presidential nomination, i Precar The reason which S tary Blaine will RIVO to the president for retiring from the cabinet will be that of physical inability to continuo to perform the urauous ana cxact iue duties of his present offios, This 1s in fact tho true reason for Me. Blaine's deter. mination to withdraw entirely from ofticial life. Other motives mav and doubtiess will be assizned by his critics for his action, but it wili bo really based on his precarious health. It has been the hope of Mr. Blaine for several months o spend some of the present winter in a moro equitable and warmor climate. When he left Bar Harvor last fall it was with the intention of going from Washington either to the extreme southern part of Texas or to Mexico to spend the win ter. The Chilian 1mbroglio dragged its length until a trip of so great extent _becaino impracticable. Since the Chiliau afair has assumed less importance it is stated that Mvr. Blaine has exvpressed a desire 1o go as 8001 a5 possible to tho Bermudas and remain il the late spring or early summer months had settica the fickle weather of this latitude. Bince that time Mr. Blaine has exorossed a deswe to visit Cuba, and it is thought that istand will be his most probable destination after he has resigned from the cabinet. The determination of Mr, Bluine to retire from the cabinet, which is here publicly an- nounced for the first time, was intimated yesterday by Felix Agnus of Baltimore, who said in an interview: I should not bo sur- vrised to see Mr. Blaino retire even frow the cabinet, of which he has been such wu eminent member.’" Geuneral Agnus’ words may be given all the signiticance due to the utterance of an intimate persoual friend of Secretary Blaine. To only a few of these friends is Mr. Blaine's determination known tonight. Who Might Sue i, It is, of course, too early to speculate as to who may succeed Mr. Blaine as secratary of state. The name of ex-Senator Edmunds of Vermont naturally suggests itself, because of his known intimacy with the president ana his great experience in publicaffairs, but it will be remembered that Mr. Edmunds assigned his own precavious health as his reason for resigning from the senate. New York alraady has a member of the cabinet, which would seem to debar from consider: tion tho name of ex-Scuator Kvarts, who was secretary of state undor President Huyes. It is thought more probable that the president would look to the west for a suc- cessor to Secretary Bluine, and it is sug gestod that he might find it good politics to select a man from Iilinox In this connec tion the name of Robert T. Lincoln, who was scerotary of war under President Arthur, and who is now United States min ister at'tho court of St. James, might bo ro- called and promoted to the head of the State denartment.

The land was formerly em- braced in the Crow Creek reservation and the secratary holds that the question is in no way related to the opening or closing of that reservation, as this land was exempt from the order which opened the reservation 1o settloment, being a vartof the land due to the ruilroad company it their right of way. s i E ARMY, 18 Health, ous., NEWS FOR T List of Chy Servico ¥ Wasmingron, D, C., Feb. 9.—[Special Telogram to Tue B 'he following assignments today and chavge of station of officers of the medical department are ordered : The boards of officers convened at the places ang by the orders from the War de partment hereinafter specified for the exami- nution of ofticers Lo determine their fitness for promotion are dissolved, viz: Vancovver Barrack: Wash,, convened Juue 10, 1801 War department,” Washington, D.

Prospects of securing the $30,000 guaranty fund from citizens to get the national mili tary encampment of the Competitive Drill association are more encouraging than ever if the sollciting committees know anything about the matter. Another meoting of the different commit- tees was held yesterday afternoon at the Board of Trade rooms. The meeting was presided over by W. J. Broateh, and whon he asked Secretary Aitchison what amount had been subscribed to the fund the latter statad that the soliciting committees had got $12,250 pledged, of which amouut $350 was in cash. i John T. Clarke, one of tho committeemen, believed that the banks and street railways would do their share in guaranteciug the fund. Inquiring letters from military companies at St. Louis, Indianapolis, alveston and Jnckson, Mich., were read by Captain Mui ford of the Omaha guards. In the commu nications it was stated that the ofticers of tho different compunies were anxious as o what had been douve here, If Omana had decided to have the encampment they wanted to know 1t in order that they could begin dril- ling. ’fim chairman was instructed to confer with the Real Istate Owvaners association as it had agreed, through its attorney, John T. Cathers, to guarantee ouo-third of the 330, 000 tund. Mr. Cathers was absent at tho meeting, but it was thought it the membors of the Real tistate Owners association would make such a guaranty, the valance of tho fund coutd easily be raised. E. P. Davis thought the encampment would got as many peoplo here as bad the stato fairs in previos years. Before lotting tho thing fall through Mr. Davis was willing, with a limited number of other members, 10 make a private organization. He thought the gate receivts and hooth privileges would more than reimburse the ones furaishing the guaranty. Another meeting ab which final action wilt be taken in the mattor will be neld Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock. ———— Mrs. Winslow's sootnicg syrup for chil- dren teething produces natural quiet sieep. 5 cents a bottle. S ——— KANSAS RAILROAD RATE Effect & Compromise by Ave Protecied. Torexa, Kan,, FPeb, 9. —|Special Telegram to Tne Bee.]—Represontatives of the rail road companies and wholesale grocers of interior Kansas jobbing points, who have been before the board of railroad commis- sioners for the past two days in attempting o agree upon a vate for Kansas points, ar- rived at a compromise this afternoon. Here tofore in certain classes of groceries the rato to interior jobbers has been the sum of the Kausas City locals. January 6 the board ordered the railroad companies to abolish this rato and give towns on through lines the benefit of the through rate. The railvoad companies and the Missouri river towns which regarded it as @ stroke at their com- mercial supremacy fougnt the order and were grauted i hea The compromise effected today, while a trifle better for tha railroad companies, is no better for Kansas City and other rnver towns. Tho vew freight schedule, which goes into effect March 1, fixes the differential on sugar at 15 cents above the Missouri river rate. On fourth-class freight the differential ranges from 22 to 28 cents, - One Minute, Oue winute time often makes a great dif ference—a oue minute remedy for bronchitis choking up of the throat, luugs, ete, fo ourse is & blessing.

MAYOR BEMIS WRITES A HOT LETTER lowed in the Council by a Hotter Resolution—Rights of the City to be Asserted and Main- tained Hereaf The city council hung out the black flag, declared war to the knife and went after the Union Pacific Railway company last night. Mayor Bemis stepped into the ring with the following communication : W1 pespoctfully call your tho action of the Union way companv with reference jobbers, shippers and wholesale of Omaba in requiring tho payment of excessive charges for switches; also, tho determined purpose of such rai'way company to violate its contract for the construction of anew depot building in the city of Omaha and inovery way possible to injure the city ana its business interests, 1 beliove 1 dealing fairly, if not liber- ally, with tho railroads as well s every other corporation, but I think that the city has some rights which the railroads, as well as other corporations, should vespect. It is absolutely certain that if the city had wdi- cated the strongest spirit of hostility toward the Union Pacific Railrond company it could not have acted more unfairly with the city than 1t has done in the past.

Ostana, Feb, 9.—To the Editor of I'nk: BEs: In justice to the Seventh Day Adventist de- nomination, it seems that a few words should be said concerning the Kansas City prophet- ess. It is understood by many that this lady belonged to tho above namod body and that her prophecy that the world would come to an end on the 2ith day of December, 1891, was endorsed by thew. This is a mis take, as she s not in any way conneeted with them, but is a spiritualist. Seveuth Day Adventists do not believe in setting the time for the end of the world and never have. They beliove, however, tbat the sigps of the timnes indicato the near proximity of that event, but fully endorse the scripture which says: *Bul of that day and nour knoweth no man,” Matt. xxiv, 35, Howaver, they 0o believe that as stated in the thirty-third verse of the same chupter, we may “Kuow that it is near, even at the doors.”” Thetruth of God is constanily being brought into reproach by the fanatic zeul (which is not according to knowledg of some who profess to believe it.
