In the State Senate yesterday Senator
Woodin declared that the choice of his dis

that he could not without unpardOn-
able treachery" vote against him at
Chicago under the unit rule. If he
is not allowed to vote for Blaine, he
will let his alternate act for him. Sen
ators Sessions and Birdsall, also dele
gates, spoke likewise against the unit
rule. The anti-third-term resolution offered
by Senator Jacobs was voted down by party
vote. The Maryland Republicans are strongly
for Blaine, but the delegation is divided owing
to political strategy.

has been honestly conducted. Every
hour he walks around the enclosure
without assistance, that the spectators
may see him. At ! O'Clock a. m. he was
quite sick, and fifteen minutes later he
was lying ON the cot with his knees
drawn up 10 his stomach. His respira-
tion was found TO be fourteen TO the
minute and natural. He fell asleep
again, but soon after made severe ef-
fort to vomit. He brought only small
quantity Of matter. After sleeping an
hour the doctor again drew himself up
In heap, and soon had another attack
OF nausea, vomiting mucous and water.
The suggestion that a mustard plaster
be put on his stomach was secuted by
the doctor, who said nothing would re-
lieve the discomfort but beef, wine and
iron. At 8 O'Clock he elected from his
stomach two ounces OF water tinged
with bile. Soon after he was given two
and half ounces Of water, which was
followed by another attack Of nausea.
A mustard foot bath made him quite
comfortable again. however. At 10
O'Clock the doctor drank four ounces Of
water and then walked n lap in the
lower hall, and repeated the perform
ance at IL and II O'Clock. and in the
