FECIAL TELEGRAPHIC LETTER.! Bcheal- or The Dispatch. I Washington. D. C. Jan. 6. j Contrary to expectations, nothing new was to-day developed in regard to the settle ment of the Chilean quarrel. Minister Montt gave importance to the situation by sending a letter of regret to the Boston Board of Trade, intimating that the necessity of being constantly on the ground to com municate with the Chilean Minister of "War precluded his absence from the capital. There is no doubt that the messages which are now passing between Secretary Blaine and Minister Egan, and Minister Montt and his Government are freighted with either war or peace. Xaturally, in view of the tenor of affairs during the last two or three days, the assumption is in favor of peace. If Chile at any time had a serious contemplation of belligerence and there is little question that at one time this was the feeling the temper of the American news papers, inspired as it was from the highest authorities, changed that spirit into one of conciliation and compromise. Minister 3Iontt an Knthuslast. It is now fbe intention of the State au thorities to submit all of the correspondence between the tvro countries to Congress within a day or two. and no one here now dnubts that it it ill settle the whole control versy on a peaceful basis. "Whatever may be the ability of Minister Montt as a diplo mat, no cue can deny that since his appoint ment he has labored with an enthusiasm that has been rarely witnessed in any simi lar controversy, to bring the discussion to a harmonious conclusion. The illness which attache 1 Secretary Blaine to-day in the mids of these interna tional negotiations will hav; no effect to retard movements, but in a national and political sense it is saddening and alarming. It is probably due entirely to the wretched weather, which has prostrated a vast num ber of the population of the city during the last few weeks, but an importance, which is undoubtedly exaggerated, is attached to it on account of the peculiar relations upon which the people have insisted between Mr. Blaine and themselves. Secretary Blaine Hot Seriously III. Knowing the deep interest felt by Penn syhanians in all that pertains to Mr. Blaine and his candidacy. I have made par ticular inquiry iii regard to his attack of to day. The Secretary is reefing easily this eteninc, and appears to be almost in his usual health, with the exception of a slight biliounes-. which might assail the health iest of mortals at any time. Since the Chilean controversy has ex hibited the approach of a crisi-, Mr. Blaine has been subjected to a great strain, and lias endured it admirably; and had his health depended alone on his official labors he would probab'y have shown no indis position whatever. But the demands of the social life at the capital are almost as abso lute as those of official life, and Mr. Blaine, weak and willing as Senator Plumb, ac quiesced, made lus presence felm society as at the department, constantly forgetting the great draughts that have been made upon his physical organization, and deter mined to believe that he is again fitted to cope successfully with terrapin stew and sherry and champagne, with all their wicked accompaniments. An attack of mere nausea may be a useful warning to hi ni. Harrison stomach an Impervious One. This is one direction in which President Harrison docs not sin. To his credit or his discredit it must be admitted that he is not a hon vivaut, and nobodv ever beard of his being bilious. His stomach is as impervious as his morals. "While the proposed contribution to the staning people of Bussia by the medium of a Government vessel, including an adver tisement of great milling companies of the "orthv est, will commend itself generally to people of large hearts, regardless of the size of their heads, it must be admitted that the discussion to-day was as nauseating in its demagogism as any that has taken place in Ungress in long years. That any repre sentative of a great hearted people should consider the question of economy in such a matter must seem astonishing; yet even a high tarifl advocate must admit the humor of the point made by a demagogue or the free trade school who doubted the economy of passing tarifl laws which impoverished the working people of foreign countries and then sought to make appropriations lor their relief. A Big Republic Vote Tor Rnssia. It is distressing that party capital should be sought to be made out of the' starvation of any people, and I fancy that the utter ances of the" Democratic House to-day, it being of the majority, will add largely to the Republican vote in Bussia, no matter whether Blaine or Harrison be the candi date. ilr. C L. Msgee was in the city to-day to PEACEMAKER put in a closing argument in favor oi the appointment of Mr. George Miller to the Pittsburg Internal Bevenue Collectorship. This is taken by the supporters of Mr. Gra ham as an indication that the rival candi dates need support, and that no rival has been promised appointment. It must be difficult for anyone to resist the fine per suasive accomplishments of Mr. Magec and Mr. Dalzcll, but political considerations are often paramount to all else in polities, and when both the social and political scales are weighed in this matter ex-Be-corder Graham seems to have gained so solid a support that it is hard to see how his appointment can be avoided. An Excellent Field In the Race. It is admitted at the department that such indorsements as Mr. Graham has shown have been rare indeed, and it is also admitted that he would be a bold if not an injudicious executive who could pass them by regard less of the pleasing indncements of the other side. One thing is certain: Ko mattcrwho is chosen the appointment will be a good one, and one advocated by the best of men. Judge James B. Neale, Mr. Season and Mr. G. C. Orr, of Kittanning, and Judge Simonton and J. B. Olmstead, of Harris burg, are here to-day in the interests of Mr. Joseph C. Buffington for the District Judge ship, and D. P. Patterson, J. Murray Clark, A. M. Todd, J. F. Taylor, John A. Mcll vain and E. F. Acheson for Boyd Crumrine, of Little "Washington. It is apparent that with such candidates as Buffington, Beed, of Butler; Judge Fet terman and others in the field, there will be a great struggle for this place. Of course, the leaders of the rival factions are bound to support rival candidates, and it is well that it is so, as the contest would otherwise lose much of its interest. Lightner. ATTACK ON FREE SILVER. SENATOR MORRILL, DENOUNCES IT AT GREAT LENGTH. Ho Is Replied to by Senator Teller, Who Swipes Harrison a Few Times No End to the New Bills and Resolutions Stewart No "Prophet. "Washington, Jan. G. Anions the papers presentedin the Senate to-day and referred were the following: From the President of the American National Bed Cross Association, urging the Government of the United States to take steps for an expedition transport of dona tions of grain to the starving Bussian peas antry. From the National Grange of Husbandry, in relation to lands claimed by the Northern Pacific Bailroad. From the Chamber of Commerce of Seat tle, "Wash., praying that Congress, by more liberal appropriations, enable the "War and Navy Departments to place the country in a thorough condition of defense, so as to be prepared to maintain its national dignity and to protect its humblest citizens in any part of the world. Among the bills introduced and referred were the following: By Mr. Pasco Granting pensions to the soldiers of the Seminole and other Indian wars. The Nicaracna Canal Steal Again. Mr. Morgan offered a resolution directing the Committee on Foreign Relations to in quire into the progress that has been made in the work of the maritime canal of Kie aragua. The committee is directed to in quire and report what the interests of the United States may reqnire in the matter of inter-oceanic communication. The resolu tioa was laid on the table, Mr. Morgan stating that he would call it up to-morrow. The Vice President laid before the Senate three messages from the President, trans mitting agreements made by commissioners with the Indians of the Colville reservation in Washington, with the "Wichita and affili ated bands of Indians in Oklahoma, and with the Tonkawa Indians in Oklahoma. They were read and referred to the Com mittee on Indian Affairs. The Senate bill introduced by Mr. Stew art, to provide for the free coinage of gold and silver bullion, was then taken up and Mr. Morrill proceeded to address the Senate in criticism of the speech heretofore made by Mr. Stewart, and in opposition to the bill for the free and unlimited coinage of silver. He feared that his remarks might be as much of a drug as silver itself; but he could not afford to shirk the question. W hat Senator Morrill Said. Mr. Morrill's speech,, which took lj hours to deliver, he summed up as follows: I Uavo attempted to demonstrate: First, that the depreciation of silver is both so great and universal that unlimited coinage could not he maintained on the piesent standard with cold, but would suddenly w reck the country by a silver revolution. Second That unlimited coinage would in terdict all international silver compacts. Third That there is no scarcity of money in circulation, but Instead, the amount is twice as great as it was in 1679, and is in creasinc on a canter. Fourth That a silver standard would be equivalent to a Horizontal reduction of tariff of !5 per cent, if not more, and an equal reduction ofall pensions. Fifth That the enormous increase of sil ver, to the extent of four times the product of ISM, coincident with a greatly lessened demand for it, has so depreciated Its value that unlimited coinage by the United States must pro e a disastrous national blunder. Sixth There is no magic in any law of any Consress w hich can make the world ac cept an ounce orsilver as w orth any more in coin than in bullion. Seventh The parties to the first profit by ll ftOA fmiT.ifm n miTH 1a .1... ........'' owners of silver mines only, and the parties to Anally suffer the largest lossbritwoUld be tho great mass of our pedple, into whose hands depreciated coin ana the Treasury notes would linally ps. Teller Talks on the Other Side. Senator Teller called attention to the fact that the Senator from Vermont and the President of the United States in his an nual message treated the silver bill of July, 1890, as the work of bi-metallists in Con gress.. Mr. Teller denied that assertion. The bill, he said, was not the work of the product of silver people, but was the prod uct of a committee that had been known to be for many years deadly hostile to bi metallism. Senator Teller's speech was also quite lengthy. In the course of his remarks he dealt the President several severe blows, one of them being a statement that the Ex ecutive had sent a New York banker (Mr. Seligman) to Berlin Inconnectiou with the silver question, and said that he supposed that that was a delightful way of giving somebody a trip to Europe at the expense of the Government Certainly all the benefit to be derived from it would be bv the indi vidual whose expenses were paid. The President had not selected for that trip a prominent silver man. Mr. Teller could name 20 men in public life who could have gone to Europe and made a report that would have been or value; but no such re port would be got from bankers or niono metalists. Stewart No Prophet at AH. Mr. Dolph sent to the Clerk's desk and had read an extract from a speech of Mr. Stewart's to the effect thit the purchase by the Government of 4,500,000 ounces of sil ver per month would use all the silver pro duced in the United States, and would put up the price of silver to par. Mr. Stewart admitted that his prophecy had failed, but pleaded that the conditions had changed, and that it had been proved conclnsh ely that nothing would do but free coinage. No action was taken on the bill, and after a short executive session the Senate, ont of respect to the memory of the late Eepresentative Gambled of South Dakota, adjourned until to-morrow. NO HELP FOR RUSSIA. DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY FREVENTS THE AID REQUESTED. The Senate Resolution Used foV Political Effect In the Honse-ObJector nolman Opposes the Appropriation of 8100,000 for a Ship, and He Is Sustained. "Washington, D. Q, Jan. C The at tendance in the House this morning was not as large as that of yesterday, many ot the members whose names had been called taking advantage of this fact to absent themselves and to attend to departmental business. Mr. McMillin, Speaker pro tern, took the chair promptly at noon, and the journal of yesterday 's proceedings was read and approved. The Speaker pro tern having laid before the House the Senate joint resolution au thorizing the Secretary of the Navy to transport contributions for the relief of the Suffering poor of Bussia. Mr. Blount, of Georgia, asked that it be referred to the Committee on Naval affairs. To this Mr. Kilgore, of Texas, objected, t Mr. Blount, of Georgia, then moved that the House proceed to the immediate con sideration of the resolution. Mr. Kilgore raised the point of order that this could not be done. The Speaker ruled to the contrary, but further ruled that a motion to refer would have precedence. Thereupon Sir. Kilgore moved its reference to the Commit tee on Appropriations. Made a Matter of Politics. A number of speeches for and against the resolution followed. Mr. uryan ot Je braska, hoped that the appropriation of 5100,000 would be stricken from the reso lution. If Congress was not empowered to aid the citizens of the people of its own country in Nebraska during a drought, how was it empowered to carry com raised this year in Nebraska to people of another country? "Where would this stop? How show partiality to one nation and not to others? His Eepublican friends were claiming that the McKinley bill had been throwing out of employment many laborers in ofhercountries, and that they were now in distress. If it was our duty to aid those whom the wisdom of God had brought to distress, how much more would it be our duty to aid those whom the follv of an American Congress had brought to distress? Applause and laughter. Mr. Pendleton, of "West Virginia, argued that Bussia was perfectly able to aid her own subjects if she desired to do so. This House had been elected on the issue of re trenchment and reform, and now it was proposed to begin by appropriating 5100,000 for the relief of Eussian subjects, when that money could be applied, if applied at all, to the relief of American citizens within 100 miles of "Washington. How the Movement Was Killed. Mr. Herbert moved to refer the resolu tion to the Committee on "Naval Affairs, with instructions to report It back within ten days. Lost 70 to 90. - The resolution was then considered in the House as in committee of the whole, when Mr. Holman, of Indiana, moved to strike out the appropriating clause. He could not see any reason 'why the United States should charter a ship to transport the provisions contributed by her citizens to the suffereis in Bussia. Tho Bussian Govern ment was amply able to dd this herself. Mr. Dockery, of Missouri, called attention to the fact that the report of the Secretary of the Treesnrv showed that the expendi tures of the Government were exceeding the revenues. r t Mr. Chipman, of Michigan', "doubted I whether Kussia s treatment -oi ner people entitled her to the comity extended to civil ized nations. After further debate, Mr. Holmau's mo tion to strike out the appropriating clause was agreed to veas, 166; nays, 70. , Mr. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, remark ing that it was perfectly clear that the United States navy had no ships which could be used, and that the resolution wai now a useless one, moved to postpone its consideration indefinitely. This motion was agreed to 93 to 87. This is equivalent to a deleat of the measure. The House then adjourned until to moirow. EVANESCENT INSUEANCE. Tho Company Minns Employes Except President, and "Without a Bank Account. Philadelphia, Jan. 6. On the appli cation of Attorney General Hensel, Judge "Willson, of Common Pleas Court, to-day granted a writ of alterative mandamus against the Continental Trust and Finance Company, of Philadelphia, to show by what warrant it claims to exercise the franchises granted it and why a receiver, should not be appointed. It is alleged that the company is unsound and is doing business not authorized by its charter. Attached to the petition is the letter ot Bank Commissioner Krumbhaar ana an expert s report, in which he says that since September 23 last there has not been a secretary, treasurer, bookkeeper, clerk or even a messenger in the company's employ, the entire subsequent business hav ing been attended to by President Brown. No entries have been made in the cashbook and general ledger since September 23. The capital purports to be 51,000,000. The ex perts found the company had no bank ac count. CRIMINAL CURIOSITY. It Was an Eavesdropper Who Munumctnred the Graves Confession. Denvek, Jan. 6. Special Another phase in the Graves case occurred to-day when John Z. Adams, one of the stock holders of the Denver and Lakewood Bail road and a prominent merchant, made a sworn statement that he followed Dr. Graves from the court house to the county jail Saturday night out of curiosity, and that he heard the deputies plying the doctor with questions, but in every instance the accused protested his innocence and that the alleged confession was made out of whole cloth. Mrs. Graves, according to her physician, Dr. Pfeiffer, has gone insane, and no hopes are expressed forher recovery. The motion for a new trial will be filed to-morrow and argued later in the week. District Attor ney Stevens has deemed it advisable to ask for the indicting of Xawyer Ballou in view of the sudden turn of affairs. Public senti ment is largely with the accused.

SHERHA.VS 38 TEARS OP PUBLIC LIFE Columbus. 0 Jan. ft The Bepublicans of Ohio have spoken, and John Sherman is to'bo the next United States Senator from the Buckeye State. J. B. Foraker is de feated, but even in defeat his magnificent leadership excites but the admiration of his opponents, and he is thought more than ever the idol of those dauntless young Be publicans Avho Jiave given him such noble allegiance. For three days there has been but one re sult staring these hardy enthusiasts in the face the ultimate election of John Sher man. But even the inevitable was unable to dampen their enthusiasm, and they have found a glory in going down to defeat with their leader and attesting a devotion which none bnt the fiery Foraker could hare in spired in the young Bepublicans of Ohio. "With the expiration of the Senatorial term to which John Sherman is to be elected he will have completed 44 years of con tinuous public service but six years short of a half a century. It will, be a 'record without parallel in the history of American statesmanship, for every year of this long public service will have been spent at Washington and in the service of the" Fed eral Government. 4. A Sketch of Sherman's Career., Born in 1833, John Sherman is C9 --years old. As a young lawyer he was elected to Congress in 1850, at the time'of the Kansas Nebraska troubles, and as a member of the Congressional Committee on the question of the extension of slavery in 1854, he wrote the famous anti-slavery report which thrilled the nation and made him one of the Eroininent leaders of the day. How well he as maintained that prominence in a service of six years in the Lower House, four years in the Cabinet as Secretary of the Treasury and an aggregate of 28 years in the United States Senate, the pages of American his tory bear record. The joint caucus convened at 8 o'clock P. si. in the hall of the House of Bepresenta tives, and.by acclamation Speaker Laylin, of the House, was selected Chairman. "The call of the roll showed every Beptibllcan Assemblyman present except representative Jackson. Quite an interesting conflict took place over the question of admitting the public, but a motion was finally adopted directing the sergeant at arms to clear the galleries. The Vast audience of spectators hissed this action roundly, and it wasonly. Jjr a great deal of trouble that the sergeant- at arms performed his onerous task. Foraker's fight for a Secret Ballot. The first division of sentiment took place on a resolution of the Foraker men tor a secret ballot. Immediately the Sherman forces moved a substitute providing for an open ballot by roll call, and a lively debate followed. Eepresentative Griffin, of the Foraker forces, insisted that a secret ballot was nec essary in order to protect men from intimi dation and coercion. Senator Green maintained that Mr. Grif fin's arguments were fallacious. Eepre sentative Taylor warned the caucus that it was by secret ballot that the Democrats a few years ago'nominated "Coal Oil Payne" for the United States Senate, and irretriev ably wrecked their party and doomed them selves to private life. Eepresentative McGrew's argument was little short of sensational. He said: Are we cowards or are we men? Twice has notice been served upon us that the calamity of private may he our portion If we tail to respond to that side whioh has been tho greatest strength of noise and of tureats. it won't ao to tnlKaDout looking people in the face. We say to them let some body else look somebody in the face. Sen sation. We have nothing to hide, but wo demand that men be protected against coer cion. -We object, too, that any one in a power ful position in the nation shall cast his shadow upon this assembly, to hover over men here and mako them do something not In accordance with the dictates of their own conscience. Applause. Senator Sherman's Name Presented. After an hour's impassioned debate, the substitute providing lor an open ballot was adopted by a vote of 47 yeas to 44 nays, three members not voting. In an eloquent speech Senator Nichols, of Belmont, pre sented the name of John Sherman. Said he: Tried and proven by tho tests or time, weighed and found not wanting by the bal ances of subsequent events, yielding to no promised popular theories which are doomed to an ephemeral existence, tempered bv no visionary whims for mere temporary reller, capitulating not to demagogues and sur rendering not to dishonesty, true to friend and fair to foe, just to the weak as well as the strong, he asks only for risht, and sub mits not to wrong; loyal to the protection or the rights of labor without unjustly dis turbing the rights of property, mutually inter-dependent; believing that when the muselo of toll or the hand or patriotism to our country in her trying ordeal for pfi-pet-"hated existence has rendered a dollar's worth of services, that hand should lecolve as compensation therefor, a dollar, with 100 cents worth of purchasing power. Pro longed applause. Vote for htm: for in that sublime act jou honor yourselves, better you constituents, serve your country and your God. Prolonged applause. Eepresentative Griffin nominated Joseph B. Foraker, and his speech was frequently interrupted with enthusiastic applause. " McKinley and Foster Named. Eepresentative Welsh, who has for weeks insisted that he would vote for no one but "William McKinley, placed the Governor elect in nomination for Senator in a spicy speech. Eepresentative Dicks, of Hamilton, in his than, nominated Secretary of -the Treas ury Charles Foster, but there was a slight disposition to jeer the gentleman, anu he was brief in his speech. Tiic nominations of Sherman and Foraker were seconded by several gentlemen upon each side, and it was 10 o'clock before a bal lot was reached. Just before the ballot a telegram from Governor-elect McKinley was read, saying: "I have been advised that my name may be presented. Promptly with draw it" Upon this authority the Chair man withdrew Mr. McKinley'a name, but this action did not prevent Mr. "Welsh from subsequently voting for his candidate. Tqerewas intense excitement during the roll call, and as doubtful men recorded themselves they were warmly applauded by the faction with which they voted. The result was: John Sherman, 53; J. B. Fora ker, 38; Charles Foster, 1, End "William McKinley, 1; and amid tremendous ap plause Sherman was declared the nominee. Speeches by Both the Candidates. On motion of a Foraker man,. Senator Sherman's nomination was made unani M ORY mous, and a committe was appointed to wait upon both Sherman and Foraker and invite them to appear before the caucus. Loud cheers greeted the appearance of the two distinguished Ohioans as they entered the hall and were escorted to the speakers stand. Senator Sherman first spoke. After thanking the members of the Legislature heartily he said: Wohavejustnassed through quiteacon- test the most formidable contest x ever eur countered in Ohio, and I hope more formid able than any I will ever be called upon to encounter hereafter. Laughter and ap- Slause.) I know, gentlemen, that yon have een called upon to make a choice.

Prolonged applause.

The ultra fashionable class of society of this place and of the East Endr Pittsburg, will be greatly exercised over a sensational case which occurred to-day. Eighteen months ago Hiss Hary Lytle, daughter of H. M.

The evening papers an nounced their marriage. Becently Boyee was dismissed from the employ of the Homes, he alleges through the influence of Mr. Lytle, claiming that that gentleman desired to reduce the young couple to such financial straits that his daughter would be compelled to return home.

He called at the Lytle residence his morning to plecdibtjhis,.wife and child. He says he heard her'sobbingin another part gf the house.

He was assisted to a swa, and in five minutes the official force of th'cState Department was absolutely demoralized. sv Telephone messages were sent to two or three doctors, and Miss Hattie Blaine was hastily snmmoned to her father's side. The Assistant Secretaries, Chief Clerk Brown, and other officials at once surrounded the Secretary, and the clerks erowded into the corridor inside of the private office. The rumor soon went flying about that- Mr. Blaine had suffered a stroke of apoplexy, and in ten minutes the telephone wires Sent a message foitiaY effect io" alfijusTters -of the city. Treated for Indigestion. Dr. St. Clair, Chief of the Consular Bu reau, was the first physician to arrive. He said that Mr. Blaine was suffering from an attack of acute indigestion, aud he- gave him a dose of warm water and salt. This caused the patient to vomit, after which he had a short dizzy spell, followed by exhaus tion. He lay on the sofa for an hour, and was then taken to his residence and put to bed. His wife was not sent for, as there seemed to be no necessity for her presence at the State Department. Drs. "Van Beypen and McClurg, of the navy, arrived'at the department soon after Dr. St. Clair had prescribed, and at once said there was nothing further to be done. The news of the Secretary's illness was whispered about in the Senate chamber shortly after 3 o'clock, and while Senator Morrill was delivering his speech on silver his colleagues were discussing the alarming reports about the Secretary of State. Before the Senate adjourned the assurance was tele phoned that Mr. Blaine was not seriously ill and the excitement subsided. Greatest Sensation In the Honse. In the House more interest attached to the news than in the Senate. The large number of new members who have never met Mr. Blaine, and who have heard all sorts of reports about his health, were in clined to think that his attack was really a serious one, and for an hour or more before the House adjourned they, talked of little else but the serious illness and its probable effect upon his political prospects. During the atternoon there was a constant stream of callers at the Blaine house on Madison place. There were nearly a dozen carriages constantly in front of the door, and cards fell like snowflakes on the plate in the hall. As soon as it was learned that Mr. Blaine's attack was not 'a dangerous one every effort was used by the physician, fam ily and friends to make light of the matter and circulate the report that there was no cause whatever for alarm or even anxiety. James G. Blaine, Jr., who was about re turning to Philadelphia, where he is em ployed, when his father was brought home, assured all callers that the sickness was trifling and that the Secretary would be all right in an hour in fact, that he would take luncheon. A Statement Not Well Home Ou'. This statement was made in the face of the fact that the patient was then in bed, where he had been all the atternoon. Tho family nhvsician, young Mr. Blaine said, had ex pressed the opinion that the Secretary had. ratner overeaten oi late, ana naa lasen too little exercise. This, in his opinion, had caused the rnmor which had so startled the officials at the State Department. At 5 o'clock in the alternoon a mem ber of the Cabinet came out of Mr, Blaine's house and made the very startling statement that in his opinion Mr. Blaine was a very sick man indeed, and he had fallen asleep in his room upstairs. This statement at once revived all the alarming reports about Mr. Blaine's condition, and the anxiety and curiosity of the public was aroused, during the everting, in spite ot all denials. . Whatever the nature of Mr. Blaine's at tack to-day, it is a fact known to all his friends that-for the past week or two his friends have been watching him with much solicitude. His confining and responsible work connected with the Chilean negotia tions, the bad weather, and the special duties that be has felt called upon to per form since New Year's Day, have had a very bad effect upon his general health, and his physical coudltion has not been at all up to the work. To Be Taken With a Grain of Salt. The physician's staiement, however, that the Secretary had not had sufficient exer cise, must be taken with a grain of allow ance, for Mr. Blaine has made it a point to walk about in the open air an hour or more daily, and to take long rides in addition. Every evening, between the close oi office and dinner lime, he has strolled about in the "West End streets, and even on Sunday last, when the air was cold and raw, accom panied by flurries of snow, he did not forego his daily drive. The interest created bv Mr. Blaine's sick- I ness to-day was so great as to overshadow ccrjrmiuK eise, ana otner snujects yieic forgotten in the general desire to discuss the political outlook as affected by the sick ness of the most prominent man in the Ite publican party. It is the opinion of nine out of every ten Bepublicans in "Washing ton that Mr. Blaine will be nominated without question, if his health is such as will iustify him in making the race, and this belief is so general that his present ill ness, so near the date set for the holding of the Bepublican Convention, is regarded as of the most serious importance. One More Fitment of Doubt. There can be no doubt that the day's oc currence has added an clement of doubt as to the situation, and greatly strengthened the argument of those Bepublicans who, be cause of their loyalty to Harrison or from other causes, have for'the past year insisted that the condition of Mr. Bla'ine's health takes him out of the list of Pres idental candidates. The real Blaine men feel no less confident to night that Blaine will be nominated; but the weak-kneed ones are given a cause to become weaker, and the Harrison men are enabled to claim, with a new-born air of confidence, that the President will be nom inated to succeed himself. At midnight it was stated at Mr. Blaine's house that he was still asleep, and that no anxietv '-itevcr was felt for him. Chief Clerk T v, ,M the Secretary would be in his off ?,, " as usual.
