small black alligator akin bag comprised
the traveling parly’s baggage.
THE ARRIVAL AT WASHINGTON.
Washington, Oct. 24.—Secretary Blaine
is at home in the red bouse once more, ap
pa enily a wed man again—certainly look
ing belter than for two years back. He
came to with the car of President Thomp
son of the Pennsylvania raiiro -d at the end
of the limited express, which being late did
not arrive until 4:15 o’clock this afternoon.
Almost as eoon as the train stopped Mr.
Blaine, who had been manning on the rear
plationn of the oar, stepped to the ground
and k.sstd James ft. Blame, Jr., who bad
run down the platform past the long traiu
to greet bim.
Then he handed Mrs. Blaine down and gave
her h<s arm whicu sue seemed to need,
while young Blaine helped his sister, Mrs.
Data rose.-, to alight. Hou. Thomas Ewing,
Mr. Blaine’s -econd cousin, who hud come
over from New York wi;h them, ani Ixiuis
Dent followed. Neither the President nor
any member of the cabinet was there to
welcome the returning Secretary of State,
so without delay the secretary and Mrs.
Blaine, followed by theotuers, young Blaine
looki g after the baggage, walked steadily,
ani rather briskly, through the group of
newbpaper men who were looking up
and dowu the platform, which
is nearly a block long, to the iron feno.-
which kept back several hundred people,
soma of whom were there to see Secretary
Blaine, but most of whom were there wait
ing for out going north and south and west
bound trains.
SEEMED IN GOOD SPIRITS.
As he walked, Mr. Blaine talked some
times to Mrs. Blaine, s metimes to those
behind him, and swung his bead with fome
thing of his oid time vim. He seemed cheer
ful and glad to get back, aud ue was disap
pointed because nobody but James (j.
Blaine, Jr. was there to welcome him
home. He did not show it in
bis manner. He hesitated a little when he
saw the thick throng just beyond the gutes,
but a static : on.c -r made a lane for him,
aud ailer turning to spieak to J mas, Jr.,
for a moment, be walked on in the wake of
thestadon officer, who. seeing that the sta
tion was too crowded for path-malting, tod
the party through the side do >r of tflo sta
te non South street, instead f taking it • ut
through the ladies’ room over the B street
entrance, where the carriage was wailing.
Mr. Blaine walked up to the cor
ner aud then stopped, while
several men yelled for their carriage. While
they were waiting Mrs. Biaine drew her
arm out of tbe secretary’s ami both turned
to speak to Thomas Ewing, who was taking
bis leave of them. The wait was less than a
minute, but it was getti g awkward for
them under the steady stare of the people
going and coming and standing looking at
them. But presently the Ouc-seated state
department carriage came up, the coach
man took iff his hut, Mr. Blaine shook
bands with him, banded in Mr3. Biaino.and
than got in himself,and the coachman drove
off.
THE ONLY DEMONSTRATION.
One man in the crowd raised h s hat. The
Secretary of state raised his :n return, and
thou the crowd dispersed without awaiting
to ,ee the rest of the party get into tbe car
tiat-e. The man who raised his hat as the
secretary drove off was the only person
among the spectators who made any dem
onstration. There fcms no cheering, and
there was r.o exhibition of any fueling, ex
cept c.iri sity. Everybody stared, regard
less or etiquette or even courtesy. Every
body was trying to answer the great ques
tion of Washington: “How is Blau.el”
11 is safe to say that no one
was able to answer it satisfactorily. Every
body saw that Secretary Blaine looked bet
ter, far bet er. than when be went awny,
even if the alloyed color on his cheeks was
not visible. Everybody saw that his walk,
even if pot quite true, was greatly im
proved, Bnd those who happened to see him
speaking caught something of I is old ex
pression, especially when he was bidding
good-by to Mr. Ewing,when hisitice lighted
Up. There were those who thought Mr.
Blaine’s manner too jaunty to be Datural.
ibey dwelt on his well known his
torical ability as they spoke of
his debonair ways. But on the w hoiojthe
judgment of the crowd w-.s that Mr. Blaine

The secretary’s brother, Robert Blaine, a
■erk in the agricultural department, was

State. The can versa ti n was a diplomatic
interchange of ccmptomertary remarks. It
was carried on in so loud a tone a3 to be
audible to any one passing near tbe open
dorr of the red parlor. Both tha President
and Secretary of State seemed anxious to
preclude the idea in tha mind of any chance
listener that they had any coufl lencea to
exchange or eveu state secrets to discuss.
HL.VINE DECLARES HIMSELF WELL.
The lecretary reported himsaif well again
and ieady to go to work Mo day morning
and thanked the President for taking the
respousibi itiee of his work so long for him.
Ibe President expressed bis pleasure at
hearing from Mr. Biaiue himself that he
had. recovered and expressed tue hope that
the reco ery would be permanent. He
asked p illte questions about the details of
the secretary's personal experiences since he
a v him last in the rarly spring. Each
a ked for the members of tue other’s family.
There as u general talk about the situation
of our foreign relations, particularly with
reforeuoe to Ch.le, but it was outotty the
President's statement of wTiat he had
aireudy done. The President had
not waited for Secretary Blaine's coming to
act on the latest Cb lean mistake. As to
the presidential nomination, as a fact as io
politics at all, except of a general character,
uotidng was said. The time has not oome,
and probably will not come till after the
election, for that interview in whioh the
President and the secretary ere to come to
an understanding on the presidential ques
tion. Prasident Harrison is a candidate
whether or no, but Secretary Blaine may
not want to be a candidate at all after
Nov. 3.
HIS POLICY.
After he determines tben that he will
take the nomination if its offered bun, bis
present purpose is to maintain his pro tent
silence on that subject. Ho will nut resign
from tha cabinet unless he is forced to. He
will hold ‘hat inasmuch ai he is not a can
didate iu tha common acceptation of that
word, he would put himself in a false atti
tude by i esignii g, eveu if he admitted,
which he does not, that candidature for the
presidency is incompatible with remaining
in the cabinet. The Blaine policy Is to
"say nothing and saw wood.”
Mr. Harrison’s policy is to try
to make Becraary Blame back out of it all.
Of course, there is the possibility that Sec
rettry Biaina’a healt i may give away again
under work or worry, in spite of bis good
appearance. The Hairisou men, including
several members of the cabinet, would not
be surprised at such a break down, which
would, of course, nominate Pres.deut Har
rison.
Secretary Blaine left the white house
within twenty minutes, and returned to the
red house. As he was sitting down to din
ner a fine basket of flowers from tbe white
bouse conservatory arrived with the Presi
dent’s oomplimeuts. Secretary Blame is
aid to have sin led when ue saw these, a
different smile from that with which he
met Bismarck and the little Coppingers.
Secretary Blaine thoroughly comprehends
President Harrison’s effor.s to capture his
friends, at and the nomination with them.
Later in the evening an Associated Press
reporter called at the Blaine resiltnco.
Upon tbe ruDorter ext ressing his surpri e at
his apparent good health, Secreta y Biaiue
said that he was in much better condition
than when be left JVashiugton several
month) ago, and, in fact, he had rarely felt
better in h s life.

and side bruised and burt internally.
An unknown negro, arm broken and
body badly bruised.
STORY OF THE ENGINEER.
Engineer Her.drix reaoned Columbus to
night and gives a thniling account of the
tragedy. “A deep cut led up to tbe trestle,”
ho said, “and when the engine rounded tho
curve, 100 feet from the foot of the trestle,
I saw tha structure m flames. T'iio flreruau
and myself could not jump and I savr that
the only thing to do was to pull the throttle
wide opau and jump across the burning
trestle. I dpi tbis and the engine and two
care went over safely. Ten cars aud the
eauoose u eie precipitated thirty-five feet in
a heap. As soon os the engine had crossed
safely I jumped off and ten hack to aid the
conductor, leaviug tbe fireman to stop the
engine.
TOO LATE TO BE OF SERVICE.
“I reached the trestle and attempted to
crawl on the burning timbers t o tho cab,
hoping to be able to assist tha conductor
aud flagman. The timbers gave way and I
fell on tbe wreck with a large slil on too of
me. Iu spite of my injuries I managed to
break a hole in the can with a large atone,
and when 1 did so flames burst forth. The
whole interior of the cab was ablaze, and I
saw that there vas no ciftuce to save the
conductor and flagman.”
Engineer Hendrix went to Goodwater and
soon had a force of seventy-five men at
work trying to put nut the Are.
ENTIRELY CREMATED.
The bodies of Conductor Rice and Flag
man Crawford were consumed by the Are
and not even a single bone could be found.
Tne tan cars burned were loaded with
onaL
Conductor Rice came here from Dalton
three years ago, and leaves a wife and three
children.
Ftogman Crawford was unmarried.
Both men were popular with their asso
ciates.
There is deep gloom in railroad circles
over the horrible accident. The railroad
mail think someone set fire to tbe trestle.

a notice spread among the Chiuese by influ

Berlin, Oct. 24.—The Reichstag will re
assemble on Tue-day, Nov. 17, and the ses
“l >n will be openel by Emperor William in
persou. Itca ibe predicted that a leading
feature of the speecn fr >m the throne will
he congratulations upon the formation of a
commercial union bet veea Germany, Aus
tria and Italy, Ills also expected that his
majesty will refer ho efully to tho outcome
of the pending negotiations with o her
countries loosing to the widening of Ger
many's com nerom! relations,
BISMARCK’S REAPPEARANCE.
In haa now been definitely determined that
Prince B.s.uarck wili araiu make his ao
i earnnes in parliament. He has ben In
communication with th loaiersof the oo ,-
servativea and of the Reictia party ii re
gard to c-oucered action against both iho
internal it external poli-y of the govern
ment. The lower grain tariff grauted
t> Au tria and tbe decrease m tbe
wine duties given to Italy will be used
by Prince Bismarck and b s followers
to induce conservative support against the
treaties.
The recent success of the socialists in
electing their candidates fir the Landtags
in Haxony and Baden have alarmed tha
conservatives, amt are generally giving rise
to fears of rapid growth of socialism under
a tolerant emperor and his polioy.
BISMARCK AND LABOR.
Prince Bismarck's attitude toward the
commercial treat.es ond upon the labor
question bas long been known. His an
ounced opposition to the government’s
policy mi the matter occasions no surprise,
but indications of his intention too allonge
the government’s f reign policy, and even
o go to the le gib of re
vealing secrets existing betwoen himself
and the emperor, bas alarmed bothbisown
Irlends and the government circle. The
Hamburger Sachrichlea (Bismarck’s or
gan) decia cs that tbe prince in entering
upon the parliamentary conflict will, if ho
finds it ne esaary, reveal the
causes of the conflict between him and
the emperor. A pamphlet written
by Herr Loti nrbusher, undoubtedly under
tbe direction of Prince Bismarck, has made
its appearance, it abounds in complaints
> id to rents directed against the emperor as
liter! ; Germany’s foreign policy to the
peril ol tile existence of the empire.
TIIE EX-CHANCELLOR’H SYMPATHIZERS.
What tends to excite alarm to the minis
terial circles regarding the nrince’s schem
ing is the knowledge of the fact that the
ex-clmncellor has the l acking of the pleni
potentiaries oC Bavaria and Wuriemherg
ind the partial support of Saxmiy t i the
Hundvsralh. Chancellor Von Caprivi is
conscious of tbe latent < r open
sympathy of the federal gov
ernments with the ex-obaucollor, and
has a rtitllcult p irt to play. The Muniaher
AUegemine Zeitung says that the debates
hi tDe Reichstag on the government’s ex
ernal policy wdl be specially directed to
fix tbe responsibility upon the men in power
who have nominally assumed the direction
of that policy.
EXCITING SCENES EXPECTED.
Every one expects that some painful and
xci mg scenes will bo ■ cnasioned through
'ho altitude of Prince Bismarck during the
course of the sesdon.
There ie an increasing prospect that Sr
via will join the zollverein despite the op
posing influence of Russia. The pinch that
Aus na is able to put on t editjg intercourse
with rervia has compelled the Belgmde
izoveriiinent to assriit t > sod delega es io
the Munich commercial treaty co. ference.

THE NEW MINISTER TO WASHINGTON.
T e Cologne Gazette r por g that Dr. von
Holleben, the German minister to Ja; au,ha*
been appointed German ini .ister to the
United .States to succeed the late Count
Arco Valley.
Meetings of the master printers have been
held to consider the demands of the com
positors for nine hnurs for a Jay’s work and
other demands formulatod by the unions and
action take < at these meetings, will, it
is believed, tend to avert the ihrexiened
strike by arriving at s me s rt of a compro
mise. If the compromise idea fails of suc
cess, the extraordinary spectacle will he
presented of the whole printing trade of
Germany and Austria on a strike.
PUBLIC DEBAUCHERY.
The emperor recently sent to the min
istry of ju- tiega communication regarding
the growth of pub ic debauchery in Berlin
and pointing out the n essities of meas
ures todng taken to sup ress it. 'ihe com
munication induoed excited a tivity ou the
part of the police. Numerous arrests
nave been made ot loose women and their
male companions. House* ot doubtful re
pute ore subjected to closer supervision,
and the publio m raltoy has been greatly
promo,ed. At a conference of tbe Social
Purity Society, of Dresden, held re
cently, resolutions ot protest were
adopted against t e government’s tolera
tion of impurity. The m*e ing atoo
unproved the emperor’s project (or the sup

applauded, but a proposal that the theaters
be also closed on that day was less ap
preciated.

A 1 ETT. R FROM TEE POPE.
He Deplores the Outcome of the Row
Over the Pilgrims.
Rome, Oot. 24.— The pope has written a
letter to the Archbishop of Aix, tha prelate
who Is to be prosoouied by the French gov-
ent for disregarding the circular of M.
Fallierev, minister of publio worship, en
joining tho aroubistioin of France not to
leave their dioceses without the consent of
the government, an order which was issued
as a result of the recent popular nianih la
tinos at Rome against French
pilgrims, who we e said to
have behaved in a reprehensible
manner at the Pantheon. In tins letter the
pope says that he deplores tbe fact t at the
Roman rioters were allowmi to indulge
with impunity in every kind of license, pro
fntitog the church, insulting the pontiff and
maltreating the pilgrims. Tho pope adds
that be hopes those incidents Will not lead
to something more calamitous and lamenta
ble.
SHOWN NO CONSIDERATION.
The pope also speaks In most bitter terms
of he treatment received by the pilgrims
during ihelr visit to this city. He says:
"Neither tbe la,vs of hospitality nor their
innocence shielded them from being treated
like eneime-. After ihnee evenls, which
have si seriously impaired tho ancient
reputation of Lallans for courtesy and
urbanity, it is ov ident that the hatred of
our adversaries increases daily. WhatoFer
the nature of the hypocritical devices em
ployed, tho sad nature of tbe projects-ecret
ly formod against ns is increasingly appar
ent, vnu, reverend brother, will continue
t > fight with your whole strength with us
for the church."

plicated In the Attack.
Washington, Oct 24.—Secretary Tracy
said this morning that a further cipher
dispatch received from Ca) t. Sch.'ey of ths
Balt more Thursday showed that in addi
tion to k lling one man and seriously
wounding six others that thirty-five otuof
American seamen were arres-ed and de
tained by the Chilean authorities at tbs
s me time, au i that they we e after
ward examined and dism sse I, as
t e' e was do proof that they bad
been guilty oi any mis ebav-or. This con
firms Capt. Schley's other statement tbati
the A norieans were unar med, sober and
w 11 behaved at the tunenf tbe trou >le and
nls i indicates that at least f Tty men out ot
the Baltimore’s contingent f 275 me i Wort
objects ot tbe rage of the Cbiteeu mob.
CHILEAN AUTHORITIES INACTIVE.
It nlso appears now that up to the date
of Capt, iSo.iUn's report the Chile in au
th titles had taken no steps to arrest
and punish any of the Ciil-aus re
sponsible for tile affair. An official thor
oughly familiar with ail the facts i . tha
poss.-ssiou of the government polnt/d out
this morning tnat it was altogether
different iu its material teatura
from the Italian affair at New
Orleans, the men in ono oas' b>inr practic
ally citizens of tbe United St tns, while
in the other they woie the United Slates
uniform, and w-re attacked for that reason.
He said it was a deliberate insult to tbe
American fl .g. Secretary Trncy saw
Fresldsnt Hariisoo about the matter to-day.
'1 he administration regards the situation as
serious.
NOT A MERE STREET ROW.
Further aud persistent iuqui'y of tha
officers of the government in regard to tha
Valparaiso incident shows conclusively
tnat the administration does not regard il
us a simple street row for which tha
Chilean government cannot be held account
able, but as un Insult to tbe honor and
flag of the United states, calling for most
vigorous diplomatic treatment. Tne offi
cial reporter the occurrence, made by Capt.
Schley of tho Baltimore, afier careful liw
vestigation of all the surrounding circum
stances, show i clearly not only that the aa<
sault upon the American sailors was cow.
ardly and unprovoked, but that it was In
spired put ely by bat: ed (or tbe uniform
tney wore uud tbe country it rept es nUd,
or, in other words, that it was nit an at
tae* on i hem ns individuals, but as repre
sentatives of the United Sta.es.
POLICE HELPED THE MOB.
The report also indicates that the local
police, instead of protecting the Atnerioauf
from the violence of the mob, in several
iuftauoes arrested iu the ouslaugh .. This,
tne report says, is demor s'rated by tbe faol
that several of the tailoi s were wounded hy
bayonets such as are usually
carried by the Chilean ponce.
be fact that the only peisons
arrested were thirty-five American sailor*
who Lad escaped injury at tua hands of ths
mob strengthens the view that the a-sault
was intended as an msu!t to the United
States. Tbe iuforinatio i at ha id shows
that so for none of tne Chileans c mcernej
in the attack have been nr.osted, aud tb it
so far as kno an no steps have been taken to
puuish them In any way for their action.
THE AUTHORITIES INDIGNANT.
The authorities at Woshi.ugt >n am very
indignant at the apparen indifference dis
played by tbe Chilean government, and
.uPutter Fran has been mstrulce 1 to taks
prompt and vigorous measures t < secure
pro; er reparation. He has bee i fully ad
vised ot the position of this government in
the matter, und nas been instructed to ac
quaint the Chilean government tbore-vitb
in the hope that the matter may tw
ainioably adjusted without de.riraent to th?
ho or of either country. It is understood
that the I'resident insists upon proper re
tires- for the supp se 1 i >suli to our ua tonal
honor and that unless it i- given within
a reasonable t me Minister Egan will he re
called aud all diplomatic relations with
Chile will oesuspe ded.
NO MORE VESSEL TO BE SENT.
Secretary Tracy said this afternoon that m
more vessels Lad beau ordered to Chile ad
that he did not know that any would bs
sent. It would seem, therefore, that the
government doee not one to make any
bel.igerent demonstration oward C .ile, t>ut
prefers f r the pr ‘sent to show its dis
pleasure and possi le resentment through
dlplo i atic channels. Specific i structlo n*
as to his course were cabled to Minister Egao
yesterday.
