I Secretory Hininu's resignation from tlio caulnot. will , after n reasonable interval , fol low Ills latter of withdrawal as a presidential ) > OSSlllllltV. For this statement your correspondent lias nuthority second only to that of Secretary Jilnlun himself. Mr. lilalno has reached a 0 oil n I to determination to resign his commis sion as secretary of state. Only the date at which this notion shall bo taken remains un- determined. Mr , llliitni ? , If ho follows his personal inclination , would tender the presi dent his resignation at once , but ho realizes that such nn act following Immediately upon his letter to Chairman Ciarkson would bo vldoly misinterpreted and would bo con- ntruod by the opponents of the republlcnn "party either as an net of pique or us Indicating serious differences between the prosldi'titiind hU premier. Therefore , Mr. I31aina will postpone his resignation from the cabinet until time enough shall have clapiud 1 to separate In the public mind that act from Ills announcement that his name would not po before the republican national convention lor the presidential nomination. UN I'ri'1'nrlons Hi-tilth , The reason which Secretary Blaine will ptvo to the president for retiring from the cabinet will bo that of physical inability to continue to perform tno urauous nnn exact- hit ; duties of his present ofllou. This is In fact the true reason for Mr. lllalno's deter- initiation to withdraw entirely from ofllclul life. Other motives mav and' doubtless will bo assigned by his critics for his action , but It will bo really bused on his precarious health. Jl bus been the hope of Mr. Blaine for several months to spend some of the present winter In n tnoru equitable and wnr > nor cllmato. When ho loft Bar Harbor last fall itviis wltli the intention of going from Washington either to the extreme southern part of Texas or to Mexico to spend the win ter. The Chilian imbroglio dragged Its length until n trip of so great extent bccamo tmpractlcahlo. Since the Chlliau affair has assumed less Importance it is stated that Mr. Blaine has expressed a desire to go as soon as possinlo to the Bermudas ana remain till thu late sprint ; or curly summer months had settled the itcklo weather of this latitude. Blnco that time Mr. Blaine has oxnrossed a desire to visit Cuba , and it is thought that Island will bo his most probable destination nfter hu has resigned Irom the cabmot. The determination of Mr. Bluino to retire from the cabinet , which is hero publicly an nounced for the llrst time , was intimated yesterday by Felix Agnus of Baltimore , who said in an interview : "I should not bo sur prised to sco Mr. Blaine retire oven from the cabinet , of which ho has beun such uu eminent member. " General Aenus' words may bo given All the significance due to the utterance of an Intimate personal friend of Secretary Bluino. To only a few of these friends is Mr.'Blalno's determination known tonight. \Vlli Might MICI-IMM ! lliin. It is , of course , too early to speculate as to who may succeed Mr. Blatno us secretary of Ktato. The name of ex-Senator Edmunds of Vermont nuturallv suggests itself , bccauuo or his known intimacy with the president Him nis great experience in nubllo affairs , but it will bo remembered that Air. Edmunds assigned tils own _ precarious health as his reason for resinning from the senate. Now York already has a member of the cabinet , which would seem to debar from considera tion tlio name of ox-Senator Kvnrts , who was secretary ot state under President Hayes. It is thought more probable that the president would look to the west for a suc cessor to Secretary Blaine , and it is sug gested that ho might find it good politics to select n man from Illinois. Iu this connec tion tlio name of Itoborl T. Lincoln , who was secretary of war under President Arthur , and who is no > v United States min ister at the court of St. James , might bo ro- callo : ! and promoted to the head of the State department. Tlio most Important subject after reci procity now before that department is the Boring ica question , with which Minister Lincoln's duties during the past three years have nuulo him thoroughly familiar. niUrcllaiirniiu , Paul E.

Prospects of securing the 10,000 guaranty fiiml from citizens to got the national mili tary encampment of the Competitive Drill association nro more encouraging than ever if the soliciting committees know anything about the matter. Another mooting of the different commit tees was held yesterday afternoon at the Board of Trade rooms. The mooting was presided over by W. J. Broatch , and when ho asked Secretary Aitchison what amount had been subscribed to the fund the latter stntod that the soliciting committees had got , 'J50 pledged , of which amount $330 was in cash. John T. Clarke , ono of the committeemen , believed that the bunks and street railways ivould do their share in guaranteeing the fund. Inquiring letters from military companies at St. Louis. Indianapolis , Galveston and .Jackson , Mich. , were read by Captain Mul- ford of the Omaha guards. In the commu nications it was stated that the olllcors of the different companies wore anxious us to what had boon done hero. If Omaha had decided to have the encampment they wanted to know it in order that they could begin dril ling.Tho The chairman was instructed to confer with the Real Estate O'.vner. ? association as H had agreed , through its attorney , John T. Gathers , to guarantee ono-third of the $30- 000 lund. Mr. Ciithcrs was absent at the meeting , but it was thought if the members of the Real Estate Owners association would make such a guaranty , the oalnnco of thn fund could easily bo raised. E. P. Davis thought the encampment would got as many people hero ns had the state fairs in previojs years. Before letting the thing fall throuuh Mr. Davis was willing , with n limited number of other members , to maico a private organization. Ho thought the gate roceluts and booth privileges would more than reimburse the ones furnishing the guaranty. Another mooting at which 11 mil action will bo taken in the matter will be hold Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Airs.

The city council hung out the black flag , declared war to the knife and wont after the Union Pacific Hallway company last night. Mayor Bcrals stopped Into the ring with ho following communication : "I respectfully call your attention to ho action of iho Union i'aclllo Kail- vuy companv with reference tot ho obbors , shippers and wholesale dealers of Omaha in requiring the payment of xcesslvo charges for switches ; nlso , the lotermlncd purpose of such railway company o violate its contract for the construction of a now depot building in the city of Omaha and In every way possible to Injure the city and Its business interests. "I believe in dealing fairly , If not liber ally , with the railroads ns well as every other corporation , but 1 think that the city ms some rights which the railroads , as well is other corporations , should respect. It Is absolutely certain that If the city had indl- atod the strongest spirit of hostility toward the Union Pacific Railroad company it could iot have acted mord unfairly with the city than u has done In the past. By ignoring its contracts with the city , by 'evading Just tax ation nnd working ag.iinst the business in terests of the city , It has seriously interfered ivlth the growth and development of theclty. It has rolused to accept the olive branch which time and again has been extended in the past. Should ICud All This Xu\v. "I bellovo that the time has now arrived when the city should assort its rights and to the utmost limit of its power bring this cor poration to terms. " 1 suggest and recommend that the rights and privileges granted to this company by the numerous ordinances be revoked by u re peal of said ordinances. " 1 turthor recommend that such legal steps lie taken at the oarllest time possible as maybe bo necessary to enforce and protect the rights of the city.1' As soon as the clerk had finished the rend- ng of the letter , Mr. Elsasser caught the eye ind car of President Uavis with the follow ing resolution : C'liiiiprulirnslvu Iti-soliitliin.

The resolution was adopted by a unani mous vote , while another round of applause swept over the house and gallery. Everybody thought the council would not take another stop lookinc to bringing iho railroad company to time , butovorybody was mistaken , for Mr. Elsassur wns not through with introducing resolutions. Ho bad an other , which road like this : Whereas. lioth of thu leading dally papers of our city have published articles , very minute In detail , In regard to certain lots and lands now ulalined by tlio Union 1'aeillu rail way ; and Whereas There seems to bu considerable merit to thu claims made by said dally papers as to the city's rlnht to suld lots and lands , therefore bu It Resolved.

The resolution also pro vided that every paved street in the city should at once bo cleaned. Mr , Lowry stated that the streets should bo cleaned. Tbo police were very ofllciont in stopping boys from sliding down hill , but they never saw a man who was hauling dirt in an open wagon box , contrary to the pro visions of the city ordinances , The resolution was tabled by n vote of nine to eight and then a resolution providing for the cleaning of all paved streets in the heart of the city was adopted , the work to begin as soon as the next thaw sots in.

Ho would not say that the viaduct would fall , but hu did not propose to taKe the responsibility of being a party to a terrible accident. Some temporary ary arrangements , he said , could bo made. II a new viaduct was ordered , it would bo a year before it would be ready for use. . In that event a connection could be raudo by way of the Thirteenth street line ; . Mr. Elbapserxaid the connection could bo made Inside of twelve hours. The committee on printing reported that the Omaha Printing company was the lowest bidder on blank boons and stationery , while tbo Hoes Printing company was the lowest bidder on lithographing , Mr. Prince of the committee stattd Umt he wan Eiirin-k d ut the runort.

The other Items , ho said , appeared exces sive. The bills hud never been referred nor considered by any committee. He did not think It , was proper that the whole thing should bo loft In the bauds of the gas in spector. Inspector Gilbert wi\s called on to explain. Ho said that ho had examined all of the bills nnd hnd found them correct. Mr. Lowry stated that he wns in favor of passing the ordinance over the veto , nnd It was so passed. The "mayor nlso vetoed the contract of ICatz & Callahan for grading Thirty-eighth street from Farnnui to Burt , Ho stated that thi ] matter of overhaul was indellnlto. The veto wns sustained. Another vote stated that ,1. E. Knowlcs , the sidewalk contractor , had n contract that was not in proper lorm. Th/3 prices charged for laying walks wns ox'.vjssive and that clauses had been pastoil onto the original contract. The veto was sustained. There wns nlso a veto on the special ordi nance providing for the payment of the osli- tnati-s for paving Locust street from Sher man avenue to Thirteenth street. Then there wns one more veto which was sustained. The mayor stated Hint tlio ordi nance providing fur the inspection of steam boilers was full of holes and mistakes. Itoutliin Worlc iif'the Si'sHliin. City Attorney Council reported that ho had examined iho abstracts of title to the park tracts. They had not bcon brought down to date , but should bo before final action was takon. Thu appointment of .fames Anderson nnd Arthur Poindorns members of the board of examining cugintors wns approved. Inspector of Buildings lllly named W. R. Johnson ns superintendent of plumbing , Asa Llchtonberg , Ed A.Toylor and.lohn Eurnch as inspectors. Tho" confirmation went over for ono week. The proposition of S. S. Curtis agreeing to cruet and leave to theclty n building nt Eighteenth nnd Barney street to bo used as n central tire station was -ecoived. Mr. Bechel was glad that the proposition had been aent in. It wns bettor than thu ono submitted by Thomas Murray , but was not good enough. Mr. Lowy did not .think it should bo ac cepted. Ho believed that by waiting a still better proposition would bo presented. The matter was referred .nnd the comptroller in structed to ask for bids from parties who had lots to lenso. Again the banks bid for tbo safe keeping of thu city funds. luwns the same old story of thu combine. Each of the nine national banks agreed to nnv 'J per cent on the daily balances. All of tho'bids were accepted nnd the comptroller instructed to prepare con tracts for each and nil of the banks desiring any of the city money. Ordinances 1'assed. Mr. Elsasser was of the opinion that the levy for the general fund could bo cut from 11 toS mills. Eleven mills would raiboll)0- ) OHO more than the city would need to meet expenses , and S mills would raise an excess of 10,000. The other members did not ihinlc .so , and the levy ordinanca passed. The ordinance providing for n decrease of the police court clerk's salary from SI- , " ) to $100 per month passed and became a law. Ordinances providing lor Increasing huck sters' licenses from 00 to f'JOU and creating a number of grading and paving districts were introduced , road twice and referred ; also an ordinance r pealintr thu ordinance levying a special tax on certain lots to cover change of. grade on Douglas from Six teenth to Twentieth street. Tli Kansiis City Irnpti < > ti-H * . OMAHA , Feb. 9. To thoEditorof Tun BKU : In Justice to the Seventh Day Advcntist denomination - nomination , it seems that n few words should bo said concerning the Kansas City prophet ess. It is understood by many that this lady belonged to the nbovo named body and that her prophecy that the world would come to an end on the -5th dny of December , 18' , ) ! , wns endorsed by thorn. This Is n mis take , as shu is not in nny way connected with ibem , but Is a spiritualist. Seventh Day Advcutists do not believe in setting the time for Iho end of the world nnd never have. They believe , however , that thu signs of the times indlcnto the near proximity of that event , but fully endorse the scripture which says : "But of that day and hour knoweth no man , " Matt , xxlv , ! iU. Howdver , they do believe that as stated In the thirty-third verso of thu same chapter , wo may "Know that it is nnar , oven at the doors.
