Chicago. March 8. — Mary Nevins
Blaine, the divorced wife of James G.
Blaine.’ jr., was at the Wellington
house for a few hours. She waa en
route from Sioux Falls, S. D., to New
York and was accompanied by her lit
tle boy, her French maid and a nurse.
Mrs. Blaine did not object to having
her name appear on the register of the
hotel, but her first movement was to
give orders that no reporter’s tcard be
rent up to her apartments With
Landlord Gage she left instructions to
ray to newspaper men she appreciated
(he courtesy of the press, but she had
nothing more to say concerning her
recent suit or of any matter connected
with her manifold troubles of the past
Then she ordered luncheon served in
her rooms, preparatory to continuing
her journey eastward over the
Lake Shore at 3:30 o’clock. After
luncheon Mrs. Blaine took a stroll
about the parlors of the hotel, and,
meeting a representative of the Herald,
chatted briefly.
The unfortunate young wife of Sec
retary Blaine's scapegrace son when
in good health is undoubtedly a most
attractive woman. But illness and
mental suffering have greatly changed
her. She looks at least thirty years
old. Her face is pinched and her com
plexion sallow. Beneath her expres
sive blue eyes there are deep, black
lines, and the eyelids are also dark.
She has by no means recovered from
the severe attack of rheumatism which
prostrated her a year or more ago, and
there is a perceptible limp when she
walks across the floor. She is unable
to raise her right arm above her head
and otherwise bears evidence of the
great physical and mental suffering
she has borne so long. Mrs. Blaine
smiled sadly as sho extended her hand,
which, be it noted, was once a very
shapely one, but now is thin and pale
to whiteness. She was dressed in a
loosely fitting robe of brown, caught
at the neck by a pearl and diamond
horseshoe.
“You must not attempt to interview
me,’’ she said. “I have declined to see
all newspaper men since leaving Da
kota, and it would not be right to give
you a fecoop,’ as I believe you call it
But seriously, there is nothing for me
to say. I do not want the notoriety
which I have thus far found it impos
sible to escape. In my letter to Mr.
Blaine, sr., I have said all that could
be said, and 1 have nothing to add un
til the ten days have expired. If he
fails then to produce the evidence I
have demanded I will publish every
atom of evidence I possess bearing on
this case. I do not make this threat
for a 'bluff. ’ When I was granted a
divorce the whole matter ended so far
as I was concerned. I did not want it
reopened, but Secretary Blaine has
seen fit to attack a sick woman through
the press.
"i mean now 10 aeienu myself ana i
will not conceal one single thing.
lVhen I strike it is between the eyes
and not in the back. But then I am
interviewing myself for you. You
mustn’t print all I say. it would dc
me no good. ”
It was quite evident that Mrs Blaine
had forgotton she was talking with a
reporter. But as the thought of hei
troubles came to her the poor girl
could not help the outbreak. The
tears stood in her eyes as she recalled
Mr. lllnine's charges and then her in
dignation got the better of her sorrow.
At this point Secretary Blaine's lit
tle grandson ran through the hall in
search of his mother, and when he
SDied her the troubled look vanished
from his bright face. With outstretched
arms and a joyful cry of “mamma" h«
ran to her and kissed her. That Mrs.
Blaine's love is centered in this boy nc
one could doubt had he seen the loot
of motherly pride that came into hei
eyes. There was no ostentatious ex
pression of affection on the part of th<
young mother. It was the simple, en
during love a good woman shows foi
her firstborn.
Little James Gillespie Blaine, non
nearly 5 years old, is a manly little
fellow who bears a strong resemblanci
to his grandfather. He is well formed
has a handsome face and great eyes tha<
he uses as though he knew they weri
meant for seeing people and not to b<

hand.
“I couldn’t find your room, mamma,’
he said, “and wasn’t I lucky to tint
you?" The nurse came and took thi
young gentleman away, in going hi

Sampson on Trial In London Charged With
Jtobbcrjr,
Lokdoit, March 5.—The case of Carl
August Sampson, known as the"Amei
lean Hercules,” who was arrested in
New York a few weeks ago on a requi
sition charging him with obtaining
certain diamond jewelry and £770
money from Mrs. Margaret Bernstein,
Pretenses, was
further heard in the Westminster po
lice court this morning. There was a
▼cry large attendance and a great deal
of interest was shown in the proceed
ings.
Mrs. Bernstein, it will be remem
bered, made the acquaintance of Samp
eon while he was performing his feats
of strength at the Royal Aquarium
music halL It is said that she became
enamored of him and sought to be con
stantly in his company. Her husband
separated from her and applied for a
divorce, naming Sampson and one Tur
ner as the co-respondents. During
Mra Bernstein's acquaintance with
Sampson it is claimed that he borrowed
money and jewelry from her, promis
ing to return the valuables when cer
tain purposes were accomplished.
At the beginning of the court pro
ceedings this morning Mm Bernstein,
took the witness stand. She presented
a charming picture, attired in a close
fitting tailor made gray woolen gown,
which set off her plump figure to ad
vantage. On her head she wore a hat
of the new spring pattern, the grace
ful arrangement of flowers and laces
giving her pretty face additional
charm. Mm Bernstein gave her testi
mony in a clear voice. She was self
possessed and confident in manner, and
did not appear to mind in the least the
hundreds of curious eyes that were
gazing at her.
Mm Bernstein claimed that her rela
tions with Sampson were those of a
lender of money only. Various love
letters of hers were read, and she be
came so agitated that she fainted. The
case was adjourned till Saturday.
COMINQ OUT TO IOWA.
Thirty Farmer** Families From One
Neighborhood In Illinois,
Fairbukv, I1L, March 5.—The reoent
exodus of farmers from the region sur
rounding Virginia, I1L, is about to be
paralleled by a similar migration of
farm owners in this vicinity. The
movement began today with the de
parture of several families for northern
Iowa and southern Minnesota, and it
is understood that the remainder of
the party will settle in the same re
gion. Nearly all of the emigrants
purchased their farms here twenty or
thirty years ago at prices ranging
from $20 to $40 per acre. The same
land now brings about $100 per acre.
T,he party consists of about thirty fam
ines, and two special freight trains of
twenty cars each have been chartered
to carry their household goods and
farming implements to their new
homes. This is the largest exodus
from this district that has taken place
for several years. It is said, however,
that there need be no fear of a general
depopulation, as the movement is
brought about entirely by Iowa and
Minnesota land owners, who have pre
vailed upon the people to believe that
they can better their fortunes by mov
ing westward.
A LIBERAL VICTORY.
The Flection In South Derbyshire Seat, a
Gladstone Man.
London, March 5. —The liberals have
carried the election in South Derby
shire, Broad, the liberal candidate,
having 5,803 votes to 4,553 for Melville,
conservativa In the last election
Henry Waddle, liberal, had 5,102 votes
to 3,949 for Coke, the conservative and
unionist candidate. The mining popu
lation voted almost unanimously for
the liberal candidate, largely because
of the way in which the Derbyshire
miners have lately been oppressed and
persecuted by the marquis of London
derry and other conservative owners
of mining properties.

MOTHER RIOT IH GERMANY
h Desperate Mob Sacks Shops in
the City of Dantzic.
Fhe Pillaging Dona In an Orderly Mannar
and the Spoil* Distributed Among
the Biota re According to
Their Needs,
Berlin, Maroh 4.—A dispatch from
Dantzic says that serious rioting, sim
ilar to that which took place recently
In this city, occurred there today.
As In Berlin, the trouble was caused
by the large number of people out of
work, and doubtless the flames of dis
content were fanned by the emperor’s
recent utterances about crushing and
driving out of Uermany all those who
oppose him. The spirit of
restlessness, it may also be
•aid, is kept alive by the
prosecutions of the Cologne Oazette
and the Frankfurter Zeitung, for
criticising the emperor's acts, and the
general opinion prevailing that the
struggle between the people and the
smperor, who has been likened to Nero
by the Frankfurt^ Zeitung, has com
menced in real earnest
The troubles at Dantzic, like the
troubles at Leipslc and many other
places, began by a mass meeting of the
unemployed, by fiery addresses made by
agitators and by heated suggestions
upon the part of socialistic orators. A
delegation was then appointed to call
upon the chief local magistrate, who
had been warned that the trouble was
brewing,
A Delegation Walts on the Mayor.
The magistrate referred to received
the delegatiqn in the kindliest manner
possible, listening to all they had to
say about their grievances and gave
them some good advice as to ob
serving a peaceful attitude in
spite of their deplorable situa
tion. Finally the magistrate in
formed the delegation that the local
authorities anticipating some such
visit, had taken steps to provide some
relief works, upon which 200 of the
unemployed could find work. As there
are, according to the estimate, some
2,000 to 3,000 persons at Dant
zic in need of employment,
this reply caused further grum
bling among the delegates. The
delegation withdrew and later in the
day some 200 men from the unemployed
masses of Dantzic were embarked on
board a steamer chartered by the local
authorities and were taken up the river
to the port where the relief works are
situated. After the departure of the
steamer the angry feeling which ani
mated the hungry army of unemployed
laborers began to get the upper hand of
them.
The Mob Sack* (lie Shops.
seeing that the temper of the men
was such that they might be excited
to do almost anything, the socialist
and anarchist oratora began to har
rangue the crowds, telling them of
their wrongs, of the oppression of the
government and of the cruel bearing
of the emperor, with the result that no
sooner was the now familiar cry in
Oermany of “Bread!” “Bread!”
“Bread!” “Give us bread or give us
work!” raised by the agitators,
than a mob of about 2,000 men
spread themselves in detachments over
the neighborhood and pillaged a num
ber of baker shops, which were com
pletely gutted of their contents
The police tried in vain to stem the
human torrent, but it gained force
with the dcmolisliment of the bakers’
shops and turned its attention to the
butchers’ stores, which were quickly
emptied of their contents.
The Spoils Divid U Justly,
Then there was a strange scene.
Immense piles of stolen meats and
bags of flour were gathered at conven
ient spots and the work of equal dis
tribution began. Sturdy rioters
guarded these stores of provisions
while others measured out the meat
and flour to the starving men. But it
was not for themselves that these pro
visions were taken. Each man as
he approached the distributing point
was asked how many people he had in
his family and upon the number being
given he was handed a piece of meat
and a measure or two of flour, accord
ing to the needs of his household.
'Ihe Police Held at Hay.
While this work of distribution was
going on in an orderly manner in the
public street, skirmishing parties of
rioters were keeping the police, who
were greatly outnumbered, at bay by
pelting them with stones or charging
bodily upon them and driving the au
thorities from the scene of the riot.
Other skirmishing parties emptied
wine stores, grocery stores and other
places where food and drink was to be
had until every man among the rioters
had laid in a stock of provisions of
some kind or another. The mob in
spite of this rioting was orderly, if
such terms can be applied to riotera
rhe Authorities I.enlent.
During this time naturally the police
were not entirely idle They formed
into several detachments and repeat
edly charged the mob. The latter
far outnumbered the poliee, fought
desperately with the policemen, injur
ing t number ng of them and in sev
eral cases completely routed them.
Victory eventually rested with the
police, but the rioters were not dis
persed until they had done all the
damage they had intended to.
Mot over fifty prisoners were taken
by the police during the whole course
of the riots and many of these were
rescued by the mob while being taken
to the guard house.
In view of the fact that the author
ities are not inclined to be severe with
the prisoners, no further rioting
Is anticipated, especially as a commit
tee of the influential citizens are tak
ing steps to enlarge the relief worl<B
so as to employ at least 1,000 men.
Wiilieiui Ang.*y at Mercy Shown.
The emperor, according to rumors; is
kept advised as to all such outbreaks
and he is said to be angry at what he
terms the lukewarm manner in which
the local authorities of Dantzic have
handled the rioters there.
Liquor Healers' Kxcle Bill.
Albany, N. V., March 4.—In the as
sembly today a liquor dealers' excise
bill was favorably reported, but so
amended that it is a compromise be
tween those favoring the original bill
and those opposing it.
THE REASON IS NOT OLEAR
Salisbury 'Will Hot Ronow tho Boris* Sea
Modna Vivendi.
New York, March 4.—A special ct
blegram to the Tribune from London
says: "Lord Salisbury has informed
the Washington authorities that he li
unwilling, pending arbitration pro*
oeedlngs in the Bering sea dispute, t«
consent to a renewal of the modus vt
vendl of last year. He is willing, how
ever, to take the neoessary steps foi
putting a stop during the coming sea
son to Pelagio sealing within thirty
miles of the Pribyloff islands
The Washington correspondent of
the Tribune, who was ordered to make
Inquiries in the capital regarding the
matter, telegraphs his paper that the
Tribune's London dispatch is practlo
ally confirmed there, at any rate he
says its correctness is not denied. The
Washington dispatch continues: It is
difficult to imagine the reason for
Lord Salisbury's refusal to renew the
modus vivendl. Whatever it is, the
pipcttcal effect will be the in
discriminate slaughter of tens of
thousands of seals and possibly their
extermination. The proposition which
Lord Salisbury is said to be willing to
entertain, to prevent seals from being
taken within thirty mtles of the
Pribyloff islands, is absurd on the face
of it It is absolutely impracticable in
fact so impracticable that it Is difficult
to believe that it was made
in good faith. How is an im
aginary line to be established
in the neighborhood of these two
islands which are almost half the year
hid in impenetrable foga
The complications which may result
from Lord Salisbury's refusal may
prove to be of the gravest nature. The
president may see himself compelled
to enforce the law, which directs the
seizure of poachers in Bering sea, or
he may deem it necessary to cancel as
a measure of reprisal the valuable
bonding privileges 'now enjoyed by
Canadian railroads to the detriment of
lines in the United States
"STOREY'S FOLLY" DOOMED.
The Marble Mansion Kreoted by the Edi
tor Will lie Based.
Chicago, March 4.—That magnificent
marble ruin on the south side of the
city known as "Storey’s Mansion," or
as “Storey’s Polly,” will soon be a
thing of the past It was doomed
by the terms of a partition which has
just been made of the Storey property
at Grand boulevard and Forty-third
street
The five-acre tract which has re
mained entire in the heart of one of
the finest residence parts of Chicago
has been subdivided into forty-eight
lots, and the Storey residence, which in
its unfinished state represents an out
lay of 9150,000, will be torn down and
put to some humbler use.
The “Storey mansion,” which was
erected during the last years of WUbur
F. Storey's life, stands on the north
east corner of the tract with a porter's
lodge on the northwest corner, lioth
are of Vermont marble of the finest
quality. The construction planned for
the main building was far in advance
of anything previously used in resi
dence buildings The girders were of
iron and the building was to be as near
fireproof as possible. During Mr. Stor
ey's last years his actions were con
trolled by spiritualists, and the con
struction of the building was carried
on under the direction of a familiar
spirit known as the “Little Squaw.”
The fact that the building is entirely
impracticable may be attributed to the
lack of knowledge of mundane archi
tecture possessed by the “Little
Squaw. ”
CHICAGO SHOULD TRY AGAIN
New York'* New Censa« Will Show About
1,800,0,JO.
New York, March 4.—County Clerk
McKenna received census returns to
day from only 243 election districts out
of 887 in the city. It was the last day
of grace allowed to the enumerators
by law tor the filing1 of their returns
and Deputy Clerk Scully expected that
nearly all, if not all, of the enumera
tors would forward their returns to
night Those returns will indicate
that the state census will show a large
increase over that taken by the federal
authorities. The federal census gave
the population of the city as 1,515,301.
The police made it 1,710,715, both being
taken in 1890. It is believed now that
the present census will return a popu
lation in excess of 1,800,000.
A. H. Walkley, who is superintend
ing the census in Kings county, has
complete returns from twelve wards in
Brooklyn and the figures show a
decided increase over those compiled
by the bungling enumerators of the
Porter census in the summer of 1890.
The completed wards are the Third,
Fourth, Fifth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth,
Eleventh, Twelfth, Fourteenth, Twen
ty-second, Twenty-third and Twenty
sixth, and the total population of these
wards, according to Superintendent
Walkley's figures, is 379.910, an in
crease of 57,580 over the Porter census
in the same warda The Porter census
in July, 1890, gave 858,375 as the total
population And the police census, taken
four montbs'later, gave 992,200. It is
expected that the state census will
give Brooklyn a population close on
1,000,000.

ENGLISH MINERS DETERMINED
They Will Not Hand the Imallaot Out la
W»|n,
New York, March 5.—A dispatch
from London says: Strike* among coal
miner* are reported from Tarlon* part*
of tho kingdom, ayd the Indication!
now are that unleu the mine owner*
make com* very material coneeuiom
and make them without delay almost
every mine in England will ho shut
down In the course of a fortnight
The movement it not unexpected, as
the miners have been threatening for
the past month to strike rather than
to submit to a reduction of wages.
Some of the proprietors have with
drawn their proposal to make a cut in
wages, and it is reported that there
will be no trouble in south Stafford
shire and east Worcestershire. Should
the strike become general the branch
Industries will be adversely affected,
and it is estimated that close on to
1,000,000 men will feel the effeots of
the miners' struggle. The agitation
is due to the notion of the mine own
ers in Wales and Cumberland, who
gave an Intimation of their intention
to reduce wages on the sliding
scale principle, owing to the decline
that had taken place In the prloes of
coal. The men refused to accept the
reduction and declared that the mine
owners must make the consumers pay.
The men offered to make an alliance
with the coal mine owners, and to form
a ring of miners and mine owners to
maintain ratea The Coal Mine Own
ers’ association declared this to be im
possible, as the mine owners outside of
the association are cutting ratea The
men then offered it the present rate of
wages is r-aintatned, to strike In all
collieries where wages are reduced be
low the rates of the Coal Mine Owners'
association.
The Miners’ federation declares that
sinoe 1888 it has forced up wagon 40
per cent by hard fighting and that It
does not Intend to have them drop a
penny. The prices of coal are rapidly
rising in London, the figures today
showing an advance of a shillings,a
ton above the rate two days ago. The
increase will fall heavily upon the
poorer classes. It is expected that
next week coal will sell at 2 shillings
per hundred weight, which will be al
most double the usual price.
DUKE OF HESSE PARALYZED
Ha la Conacloua, But In a Very Critical
Condition.
Berlin, Maroh 5.—The grand duke
of Henae has been seized with paralysis
of the right side. He is conscious, but
in a critical condition. The Grand
Duke Louis IV was horn September 12,
1837, and was married at Osborne, Isle
of Wight, on the 1st of July, 1882, to
Alice, daughter of Queen Victoria.
The heir to the throne of Hesse is the
Prince Ernest Louis, born November
25, 1808. Should his father, the grand
duke, die, the accession of Ernest
Louis will see another grandchild of
Queen Victoria on a European throne.
