UR. BLAINE Ill.

Just as they reached the church. he
complained of = severe pain in the
head and dizziness, at the same time
placing his hand upon H.. Entering
the vestibule he was so overcome with
sudden illness that he came e fall
ing, but this was prevented and he
was assisted to a seat on the steps,
when he exclaimed, '.Oh, this pain"
conveyance having been pro-
cured. Mrs. Blaine returned home
with him, he then being unconscious.
His bed was placed in the front parlor
on which he was laid, and a messeD-
ger having been sent for, Surgeon
General Barnes and Doctors Bliss,
Cox, Verde and Pope. they soon APP
peared, and lost no time in cupping
the spine and resorting to other coun
ter irritants.
From IL in the morning until 4 in
the afternoon, Blaine laid unconscious,
breathing irregularly, his wife, ply
sicians and other friends remaining at
his bedside during that time.
Physicians said Blaine was suffering
from over-excitement of the brain and
nervous system, superindueed by the
recent events in which he was "a prom
inent actor, the symptoms being ag-
%gravated by the weather, which was,
yesterday, very oppressive.
Several weeks - Blaine was con-
fined TO his house for some days by a
low type of malarial fever, but APP
peared before the snb,judiciary COM
mittee, who were investigating the
charges against him, before he had
fully recovered from the effects of that
disease. This, with the excitement
on his part both before the committee
and in the House, the large number of
persons daily in conference with him.
and his attention 10 an extensive COR
respondence, including very many
kilograms from all parts of the oun
try, especially during the past week,
and other causes, produced q strain
upon his mind that causes this sudden
illness.
AT about 4 p. m. Blaine's conscious
ness gradually returned, when he
recognized his wife and inquired of
her what was the matter, and she re-
piled that he was ill, and after that he
for the first time turned over in his
bed unaided. His breathing was bet
ter and his pulse stronger. The enc
ma produced some effect, but not to
the extent desired, and therefore the
doctors applied electricity.
Last evening one of them said, in
private conversation, that the attack
was clearly a. case of sun-stroke or
heat-stroke, to which Blaine was rem
dered liable oil account of his recent
illness, oyer-work, excitement and loss
of rest. The physician further said
that at first he IA apprehensive that
the attack might be apoplectic. but an
examination disclosed no symptoms
of that disease. For several hours nu-
merous visitors were admitted, but
after the doctors had administered
enema the rooms were cleared so that
the patient might rest.
DIR. G.. w. Pope, who has been
Blaine's family physician in Washing
ton during the past eight or ten years,
and is intimately acquainted with his
constitution and temperament, fur
nighed the following diagnosis of his
condition at s o'clock last evening:
Mr.. Blaine's ease is one of simple
cerebral depression, produced prima-
rily by great mental strain. and sec
ondarily by the action of excessive
heat. There is no apopleptic conges-
ton or effusion, nor any symptoms of
paralysis. He has the free use of his
limbs; the pupils of his eyes are nor
NAL; he has spoken several times, and
recognizes his family. lie lies quiet,
breathes naturally, and is disposed to
sleep. He has responded excellently
to the treatment, and l have every
reason to anticipate a speedy and COM
plete recovery"
AT S:3Op m. DIR. Bliss remarked that
the patients attack was yielding TO
the treatment with remarkable rapid
ity.
The following telegram was received
by Mrs. Blaine last night from Con-
gresham Hale, ut Cincinnati: Great
relief at the favorable new of Blainc's
condition. Tell him that his cause
coming in better than expected. No
wonder he had a bad turn. The strain
has been tremendous

MI. Blaine had arisen from his bed,
sat on his chair several minutes and
%conversed with his physicians. He is
gaining strength steadily
Surgeon General Burnes stated this
afternoon to Mrs. Blaine and others
that he regards every symptom of
Biaine's condition as very favorable.
The Feeling at Cincinnati.
Cincinnati, juno l2.-The greatest
anxiety has been felt by all parties to-
day concerning the condition of Mr..
Blaine. A number of kilograms have

improving rapidly. and in u day or
two would he completely restored.
Some parties declare it to be fact that
Mr.. Biaine's illness was being used to
weaken his force and especially to pre-
vent any sympathy being excited in
his favor to the extent OF winning
doubtful delegates to his support.
A sensational dispatch from Wash
ington to the effect that Mr.. Bristow
had called upon MIR. Blaine in his
PROSTATE condition, and was repealed
by Mr.. Blaine. caused considerable
comment. Mr.. Frye, lender of the
Blaine faction. says he doesn't believe
the statement, as there has been no
allusion to 1t in his dispatches; and
Furthermore, he knew Mr.. Blaine and
MI. Bristow were friendly and always
had been.

an interview which took place be-
tween them last Saturday night, but

Blaine have never been otherwise
than friendly. AS TO the conversation
