WASHINGTON , June 9. iSpeclal Telegram
to the UKK.I 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 Blalne and
Sherman presidential manipulation , who de
clare without reservation that there Is a com
pact between tlio managers of these two
statesmen by which the latter Is to receive
the nomination and thu former bo premier of
the cabinet. They say that this is thu secret
of Blalne's European trip ; that he really
wants Sherman to have the race , and goes
abroad to R\U ! it to him. Several of the
most Intlmato 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.

WASHINGTON , June 9. ( Special Tele
gram to the BKI : . ( Humors are In circula
tion hero to tbo effect that the Pneumatic
Gun company of New York Is not in condf-
tlon to carry out Its contract respecting Its
dynamite crulber. Secretary Whitney , how
ever , Is reported as feeling easy about the
matter as the company's bond U within
nearly 8100,000 of the proposed cost of the
ship. The ship , if built , will be 240 feet long
over all , with an extreme breadth of 2GX feet
and draught of not less than 7 % feet. She Is
to bo built of steel , Is to bt ; provided with en
gine , machinery and boilers complete , Is to
bo fully equipped and armed with three
pneumatic dynamite guns of 10' Inch
calibre , ana to be 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 contain 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 aUo that thu vessel shall bo
complete , 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. Exper
ienced ship builders express doubt as to the
ability of fho vessel to bo completed to attain
the required speed of twenty know an hour
oven under the conditions prescribed for
trial , which are a measured mlle and smooth
water or at the option of contractor , a course
of ten or twelve miles In smooth water. Ord
nance officers , both ot the army and navy ,
do not regard the tests to whlcli the pneu
matic dynamite mm has been subjected as
by any means conclusive.

WASHINGTON , June 9. [ Special Telegram
to the BEE. | I went up to sen Mr. Bancroft
the other day and found him In Ills library
surrounded with eight type-writers , clicking
away as fast as tholr lingers could go. The
racket was such that conversation was not
only difficult but Impossible , and when wo
got down stairs I asked what was going on.
Mr. Bancroft explained that he was having
copied the papers whlcli ho Had borrowed
from the widow of the late President
Polk on his recent trip to Nash
ville. He brought home with him four
large .trunks full of letters comprising
the official and most 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 having copied by
the clgiit fleot-flugercd girls who surround
him. He will write a History of the PolK ad
ministration , during which he was secretary
of the navy , lie has reached that point In his
history of the United States , but for personal
reasons , and particularly because he thinks
Polk 1ms not had Justice dona him by other
historians , ho will pay particular attention to
that era. Mr. Bancroft has a mass of ma
terial covering the history or the republic to
date , collected and classified for the use of
his literary executor , who ever ho may be ,
for he cannot expect to live to finish the work
he undertook over forty years ago , being
now over eighty-sewn.
Lamar and the Supreme Bench.
WASHINGTON , Juno 9. ( Special Telegram

business on Monday morning. Those who
ought to know whereof they speak say that
one ot the first ot his official acts will bo to
see about a successor to Justice Woods.
Nearly every one in Washington hai come
to the conclusion that tha position will be
tendered to Secretary Lamar and that that
gentleman will be the lirst democrat ap
pointed to the highest bench In the country.
If the president so elects. No one has yet
been able to liarn how Mr. Lamar would
receive the offer of the appointment If it
should be tendered to him. Ills Immediate
friends are divided in opinion on the subject ,
but a number ot them think that a place In
| he judiciary Is moro to his liking than any
Administrative office could possibly be and
that the appointment would bo accepted.

Nr.w YOHK , Juno 0. [ Special Telegram
to the BKE. I Miss Sophia L. Mat-
tern , tlio nrtlbt , who has just
lost her suit to recover from Hussell
Sago money lost In speculation , created quite
a scene In the latler's office yesterday. She
called to sec him and was told "not ln"when
shosnldshe would wait The clerk said :
"Mr. Sago will not see you Miss Mattern , so
1 think you had better call some other
time. "
" 1 knew It , " snapped the lady defiantly.
"Ho's afraid of me. Oh , yes he Is , you can't
tell me. Well , all 1 can say ( laughing hys
terically ) , Is that ho need fear nothing. All
1 want Is a private conversation with Sage.
Ho has given his version of the story and 1
will give mine. What's ho afi aid of ? Do 1
look so very terrible ? "
After much hysterical talk she left the
office but waited outside where she was Riiro
to meet Sage , who was expected to return
soon. The clerks held a consultation and
finally one went to her nnd said : "Miss
Mnttern , yon must go , you won't see Sago
hero. 1 promise you. Now please go and he
shall meet you nt 1 o'clock nt the Hector street
elevated station. Will that satisfy yon ? "
Miss Mattern , who was really getting
weary , succumbed to this arrangement and
with the needless information that she would
bo there departed. She went to the office of
her lawyer , Frances H. YanVechten. Just
before 3 o'clock Hussell Sago was seen in his
office. Uu did not look particularly easy In
his mind , but ho was suave , even
cordial. " 1 won't see Miss Mattern , " bo said.
"Why should IV The whole matter Is unlor-
tunnto. but what can 1 do ? I'm a law abid
ing citi7on ( smiling amiably ) . I only want
what thn law allows. Tlmfs the end ol It. "
Miss Mattern was seen last night In her
studio. She was calm and good tempered.
" wouldn't " she "ho
"Sngo see me , laughed ,
might have done so. Ho would have still
been alive. All I wnnted htm to do wns to
retract his statement that ho speculated for
me out of charity and sympathy. If there Is

it for me will bo suitably rewarded. Tlm
case will be fought to death. If Hussel
Save buvs everybody a ; he has bought some

FINDLAX'8 CELEBRATION.
Men of Prominence Discuss Timely
nnd Important Questions.
FINDLAY , O. , Juno 9. The events of the
second day of the natural gas celebration
were of widespread interest and Importance
and were witnessed by upwards of 70,000
people. This evening a grand banquet was
given nt the "Wigwam. " Many distinguished
persons wore present. The nfter-dlnner
speakers were Hon. John Sherman , Governor
Fornkcr and others. Senator Sherman and
Mr. Halstead discussed between them the
salient points of industrial progress and the
timely question ot capital and labor. Gover
nor Foraker's speech was In effect a resume
of one hundred years ot political and
financial progress. A paper read by
Professor Vail expounds n new- theory upon
the permanency of natural gas , and ono that
promises to cxclto widespread discussion In
scientific circles. Professor Vail armed
that oil nnd gas are a primitive distillation.
The earth , he thinks , wns a molten
body , and In that Btnto was a dis
tilling center In which carbon was necessarily
Involved. He thinks all forms of carbon in
digenous to the world Is now locked up in
the cat th's crust save what animal and vege
table life produce. His conclusion Is that
the great source of supply of natural gas will
last lor many centuries.

charge In qulto a serious one. In the latter

tlmt Young sold the land , which was wortU
J.1,000 , lo A. H. Antrim for 31,200. Ho

C. Key. It soon transpired that i'oune
merely tensed the property and Hint the
