CANADA'S SICK PREMIER
Sir John A. Macdonald's Con-

The Liberals Position Can

Their Leaders Death
Text of the British Bill Pro-
hibiting the Catching

OTTAWA, Ont, June THE physicians
attending Sir John Macdonald have is
sued the following bulletin.
l0:45 a. ma close examination OF Sir
John A. Macdonald, at our consultation
this morning, reveals unmistakable low
ering Of the vital force, Notwithstanding
that he has slept from time to time dur.
ing the night and has taken nourlshment.
Consciousness still remains and he suffers
no pain. (Slgned), II. w. Powell, NJ. d.,
j. A. Grant, NJ. d., Hy. =. Wright, M. ID.
EARNsCLTF, June /, 2p. m.-Sir Johns
condition is much the same, but he is a
little weaker. His nurse has Just turned
him from left to right, and he took some
liquids.
EARNscIIFF, June l, 2 y. m.-There is
very little change In Sir John. He Is in a
weak condition but conscious.
TORONTO, June Discussing the ques-
tion as TO what will follow In the event Of
Sir John A. Macdonald's death, the Globe
the principal organ OF the liberal party
says: Hints which have been thrown out
about coalition are out OF the question.
The liberals would not cOslesce with Iup-
per or Langeyin upon any terms; nor join
with Abbott or Thompson, except upon a
clear understanding that the national
policy should be abandoned In favor OF
free trade with the United States. Who
eyer Sir Johns successor may be, the task
before him will be one Of extraordinary
difficulty. The liberals are prepared, put
ting public consideration first TO do every
thing that Is fair and reasonable TO enable
the queen and the government TO be- called
on, but they cannot be expected 10 con
done things which they have condemned
or 10 support fiscal policy which they
know 10 bc wrong.

EX-SENATOR BLAIR
Failing to Go to China He May Emil
CRATE to Japan

CRATE to Japan
ONEw YORK, June 1.-The Suns Wash
ington special says: Senator Blair may
be personal non grsta" 10 the govern
ment OF China, but he Is person OF ac-
ceptability and good standing I'm the state
department. IL Is probable also that he
Is delte well satisfied with himself and
his surroundings.
He Is not United States senator, II is
true, nor yet an American minister, but
he Is private citizen Of the United
States, drawing a salary OF 81 600 a month
from Uncle Sam. Mr.. Blair Is officially
still in sin transit" and while the sixty
days allowed him for the journey 10 his
post, in addition TO the thirty day al
lowed "fOr receiving Instructions.
will expire early IN June, IL Is
thought likely that II another APP
poIntment Is not given him by that
time, some way will be found for
keeping him on the official pay roll few
months longer. The state department
has at It's disposal a secret or emergency
fund available In Just such cases as this
and perhaps Mr.. Blair will get a whack al
II after the funds from which he Is now
being paid are exhausted. There Is a
general belief that Mr.. Blair will be made
minister 10 japan TO sOOthe his injured
feelings.
This is the merest speculation, however
arising altogether from the fact that the
Japan mission happens TO be vacant
Some action may be looked for with Ger.
talnty In Mr.. Blair's case during the first
week In June, as after that date II will not
be convenient 10 keep him on pay unless
some duties are assigned him. Emer.
gency instructions and funds will not last
forever
