BLAINE's HEALTH IMPROVING.
Gossip Concerning the Secretary's Bod
lily Condition.

BAR HARBoR, July 2.-Secretary Blaine, al
though not feeling so well today as yesterday,
perhaps from over-exertion, was seen walking
on the street He took his accustomed ride
from IL 80 to 80 He is by no means well
man, but there is no reason why he should not
be well and strong by autumn. Many false ru-
mors arise from the fact that the public did not
know how sick he was in New York. Since his
sickness there he has steadily improved, and
drawbacks have only been a day or two in du-
ration. The doctors say he eats well and sleeps,
has no organic disease, and is rapidly regaining
his usual health. He takes no medicine what
ever except occasionally simple remedies TO aid
digestion. He has no trace of the paralytic affec
ton from which he suffered three years
ago. His sickness in New York was the result
of overwork. combined with the grip. No,with-
standing the statements of his physician and
the members of his family, many people believe
him broken down, and that he will never again
engage in active life, yet il is evident to every
one that he has improved since his arrival here.

PARIS, July 2.-The inquiry into the
maiadministration of Panama canal af-
fairs promises to be most comprehensive.
DE Lesseps has declared that he courts in
quiry. but he win probably get more than
he or his colleagues desire. The soundest
financial organ in France, the Economiste
Franeaise, had denounced the Panama
affair as "the greatest financial scandal Of
the nineteenth century," and demands
the trial of the persons responsible for the
absorption of l. 500, 10000 francs snatched
from the savings of small capitalists,
many of whom have been ruined, and
number of whom are dead through despair.
The paper declares:
The series of agreements on the faith OF which
the shares of the capital stock were issued were
fictitious. Many millions were squandered in
bribing the French press to induce, by fallacious
statements, small capitalists TO invest, while
millions more were appropriated by members Of
the council of administration having @ COM
munity OF interests with certain of the pro-
prietors OF the enterprise.

ing: "Let justice be done though the heavens
fall" This was too much for her haIf-dozen
lady friends in the court, who began TO
applaud the attorney. The hand -clapping made
great noise in the almost empty courtroom.
Judge Blodgett instantly interrupted them,
Claiming: "Stop IL, stop IL; this is no town
meeting Mr.. Marshal, clear the courtroom"
growing very red in the face. Meantime Deputy

Waite, whose daughter, Lucy Waite, was one OF
the ladies present, was on his feet in instant.

now thoroughly angered; "iet those people leave

Miss Couzins, citing strong authorities in sup

WASHINGTON AND OREGON WHEAT.
There will Probably Be q Surplus of
10000. 900 Bushels This Year.

PORTLAND, July Especial statistics Of the
wheat crop of the Northwest for the year ending
June so are complete, and the following figures
may be considered accurate. The total surplus
was 5000, 600 bushels, of which the Willamette
valley produced 100000, and Eastern Oregon,
Washington and corner of Idaho 1900, 900.
OF the whole. 9,0O0,0 bushels came to Portland,
100000 went East by rail and 100000 went to
Seattle and Tacoma.
Last seasons crop was phenomenal. This
seasons crop will be very good, and the most
careful estimates place the surplus at the same
as last year, while the most liberal views place
the surplus at 100000 bushels. The Willim-
ette valley produces no more wheat than it did
ten years ago, more land being devoted to diver
sified farming, orchards, etc.
