~.<BLAINE'S HEALTH.
The New York Herald Reasserts
that the Secretary
By Gradual Progression Has Become so
Worn in Mind that Nobody Can Say
When He viii Resume Work.

lSpecialto THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
NEW YORK, May 27.-The Washington
correspondent of the Herald says in the
course of long dispatch the wilful and
persistent distortion of what was lately
said in the Herald respecting Mr. Blaine's
condition justifies further, and it is to be
hoped final, reference to the subject The
Herald has recently asserted, and now re-
serts, that Mr.. Blaine by a gradual progress
sion has become so worn in mind and body
that nobody can say at this time with
semblance OF authority that he will ever
resume his public functions, nor when he
can resume them, Tor for how long sea-
son, ii ever, nor that his personal safety
would permit their resumption Or continu-
ance. To state this is to say that Mr.. Blaine
is al present an invalid without immediate
prospect of restoration to health, and that
he has not for the time being at least the
physical capacity for public business com
mensurate with the demands of his position
or with the eXigencies of his personal COM
fort or safety. Mr.. Blaine has so few
enemies that it is easy to call the list of
them over and not one Of them is repre-
sented among those upon whose authority
the Herdld's disclosures of last week were
founded. On the contrary every state
ment OF consequence in the Herald came
from q source entirely friendly to MIR.
Blaine and his fortunes. The great officers
of the departments members of the diplo-
matte service; eminent public men; people
of high social rank, and persons on foot
ing of intimacy with the family of the
secretary OF state, are among those from
whom the facts of the case were collected.
How carefully and considerably the publ
cation was made may be judged from the
circumstance that some of the data used in
the stories were nearly year old and had
been resolutely put aside to time of actual
necessity. That necessity was found in
the growing conviction among Mr. Blaines
official and person al associates that his re-
turn to public duty was becoming a grave
problem.

The State Department Takes no Action.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-Respecting the
action of the French government in sta
tioning war ship at st. Georges bay,
Newfoundland, to prevent United States
fishermen from obtaining bait, it is said at
the state department that action cannot be
taken, nor can an opinion as to the merits
of the case be given until further advices
are received. 1t has not yet been made
clear to the department whether the war
ship has prevented our fishermen from Sc
curing bait, or whether it prevented the
French inhabitants from selling it. These
are two very distinct and different propo-
sitions. In the first case, it might be taken
as an assertion of authority over the Amer
lean citizen, while in the second case the
French authorities might be exerting un-
due authority over French subjects
