Blaine had himself to blame foi tho greater pai t of his sickness. On leaching here from the North he evidently ignored the difference of temperature msido ot St. Gothaid, where It is most alwajs w ami, and on emerging from it, with some one and a half metres of snow all around and the diftci once of temperature of some twentv degrees Fahrenheit, Mr. Blaino neg lectedadding a viarm overcoat to his usual nppaiel, and in consequence arnved hero with a heavj cold, which culminated in lheumatic paialvsis of ono side While in this condition Mi. Blaine gave himself up to gloomy leflcctions, tearing chiefly that ho should nevei more bo ablo to lendei any serv ice to his countrv . "Mi. Blaine suffered fiom what is known as lheumatic paralv sis, w Inch is not so fatal as when accompanied by liemoiihagc of the brain. Still, at his time of lile, with not too great sta ing pov ers and little recuperative resources, it is sui prising tho progress he made Ev en at that timo lie would have done bettei jet had he acted on my advice and staved heie a little longei.

British Commissioners Think They Have Scored a Valuable Point. Ottawa, Oct. 5 Word has been received here by the Department of Marine and Fishenes fiom Victoria, B. C, that II. M. S. Pheasant has brought new s from Bering Sea of the movements of Sir George Baden Powell and Dr. Dawson, tlie British Com missioners, who aie investigating tho seal fisheries question They are at present on boaid of the steamfcr Danube and havo been visiting the Comniandei Islands, in Russian waters west of Bering Sea. They obtained from the Russian authoiities permission to -visit these islands in order to study the movements of tho ssals and to discover TUESDAY, OCTOBER 6, what truth there is in the theory that in seasons when seals are plentiful on St. George's, St. Paul's and other islands in the eastern side of Bering Sea they aie scarce ou the Commander Islands, and vice versa. This season tho seals are plentiful. At the breeding islands there ate millions of them. At St. Paul's Island lullv 500,000 seals were in sight. At St. George's Island, however, the number was not so great. Tho Phcasint bnims the report that several female seals were killed during the suckling season bj the Commissioners, and tlieii stomachs were found to contain nothing but, a little seaweed nnd sooip pebbles. Tins is an important point, and one on which the Commissioners hnve re ceived special mst'iictions During the last conferences at Washington, Secrctarv Blaine held that tho most serions reason for stringent lestnetions on the t iking of seals in Bering Sea was that the mother seals, w inch, during the suckling season, swam 50 miles every dajr to the feeding grounds, would bo taken in great numbers and the j oung seals whicii they lolt on the shores would peiish unless tlie mother seals were protected Sli Chailes Tapper argued that the niothei seals nevei left tlieii young in the suckling suison, which only lasted 12 days.dunng which time the mothers took no food u tall. Secretary Blaine ridiculed this idea as unheard of in natural histoiy. The report that the stomachs of the mother seals w pre found empty bears out Sir Chailes Tuppei's statement. THEEE C0EPOSATE DICTAT0KS. A Sensational Answer to a Suit Fi'eJ Against n Stockholder. Washixgton, Pa, Oct. 5 Special Dr. W. L McClearj-, against whom the Tjler Tube and Pipe Company, of w inch lie is a lot il director, recently brought suit onSl.OOoal leged to be duo on his capital stock sub scription, filed an interesting answei this afternoon which has caused a greit sen sation. Mr. McCleaiy aveis that it is nor tiue, as set forth, that the entire capital stock was called by the directors on Janu aij 21, 1891. On the contraiv, he claims that the plaintiff had no legal existence previous to lcbruiry3, 1891, and that no meeting of the dtrectotsat which the question of de manding the payment of the capital stock vi a discussed, was evei held Trom the beginning until tho present tune " Mi McCle u v s i j s, "William P.
