SENATOR QUAY'S IIE xLTII IMPROVED.
The Senator has been in a cottage retreat
on Pacific avenue, Atlantic City, during the
past four weeks, and the stay by the shore
has gieatly impioved Ins general health.
Tomorrow will be devoted to receiving a
number of Republican county clianmcii
fiomovci the State.
It was stated tills evening by a prominent
Republic in not quite m sv mpatliv w ith tins
j eai's campaign, th it fcenatoi Quay's plan
to counteract the iorceof the extra session
of the Senate would not be made known
until the day tlie senate met.
"Mr. Quav 's plan is to have a committee
appointed by the Senate to inquire into the
legality of the Governor's action in calling
th it bodj together," said the gentleman.
"Tl e object is to delay the Senate investi
gation at all hazaids until alter
the election. Mr. Quav believes he
can still humbug tho people, but the nlan is
anticipated and is v ery obnoxious to many
Republicans I know personally that Chair
man Watics will cut acioss the gram lrom
the start and there are other Senatois, like
Mjlin, who believe in a vigorous policy as
the only possible salv atiou."

The feature of the McDonald oil field
yesterday was Gufiey, Murphy & Co.'s No.

north 400 feet from Greenlee & Forst's
big well on the Mevey farm. At a late hour
last ev ening it was reported to be 18 feet
in the sand and making only 15 barrels an
hour. This is at the rate of 300 barrels a
day, and as it was making 200 barrels a day
from the Gordon sand, it would leav e only
100 barrels a day from the fifth sand.
It was thought that a mistake might
Sossibly have been made in measuring up.
o 1 on the sanio farm, which has been pro
ducing for several weeks, is still doing 75
ban els an hour and has made as high as 150
banels in tho samo length of time No 2

BLAINE'S ETJEOPEAN ILLNESS.
Ills Italian Physician Submits to an Inter

Milas., Itvly, Oct. 5 The Ileiald cotre
spondent has interviewed Di. Fonioni,
Blaine's former phvsician, who savs "In
mj opinion Mi. 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. But he be
came nervous and fancied that tho air in
his rooms was poisoned, etc. Yet his
quaiteis weie the very best in tho hotel,
with a hMi ceiling and well v outdated
"Mi Blaine is chiefly a hjpochondi inc. It
woiiiedliini to think that lie should no
longci be able to plaj a pai t in public affairs,
and his pnde could not well reconcile itself
to the mev itable. Thus it li ippcncd that
alter lout wccUs' stay hero aud lonti-arj to

Di. Baldwin, and where lie finally became

prised us here almost as much as his com

INVESTIGATING SEALS' HABIT3.
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

without at any time convening the board to
