MIR. BnA1NE's HEALTH.
Reports that He 1, Very Ill False and
Misleading.

EAIpbEAh NAAAh AAo - N'Ay 80 -
Misleading.
WASHINGTON, D. O., Nov. 25-Mr.
Blaine's condition was again the sub
ject of universal interest to-day, made
70 by the publication OF statements that
his ailment had taken turn for the
worse and that his life was in imminent
danger. If Mr.. Blaine's physician and
the members of his family are to be be-
lleved, such statements are misleading
and not warranted by the facts. Last
summer year ago Mr.. Blaine left the
city to sec his daughter before she
sailed for Europe. 1t was on that
occasion thath i'll and was removed
to his cottage at Bar Harbor.
Last summer he had another attack
but since his return to Washington he
has been in state Of health that may
be described as his normal condition,
capable OF earnest work, fond OF open
air rides and walks, and cheerful, but
withal very sensitive to Irregularities OF
diet and 70 sudden changes of weather.
AS near as can be learned the attack
from which Mr.. Blaine is now suffering
is very similar and no more dangerous
than those which have preceded it. He
caught cold and lie was imprudent in
his diet. Some congestion followed and
there was fever. The stomach
was made torpid and there was q diff
Guilty in his digestion. Notwithstand-
ing reports to the contrary it can be
said that Mr.. Blaine has shown no signs
OF mental alteration or delirium.
There has been much difficulty en-
countered in the effort to get reliable
news as to his condition and this has
fostered the origin and spread of exag-
geratod stories Of Mr.. Blaine's condition.
DR.. w. W. johnson, who is in charge
OF the case, called at the house and had
a short consultation with DR.. Hyatt,
who has been treating Mr.. Blaine spe-
cially for stubborn bronchial afiec-
ton. Subsequently DR.. Johnson in
formed representative OF the Asso-
ciated Press that the published reports
that Mr.. Blaine is seriously i'll arc en-
tirely without foundation.
"The fact is" he said, there is moth
ing really serious the matter with him.
The slight cold, with accompanying
fever, from which he suffered last week
has entirely passed away and he is SO
much improved to-day that ne is able
to be dressed and to move freely about
his ROOM"
lie felt sure Mr.. Blaine would be able
to go out of doors in q few days, and
that he is well able even now to stand
q journey in case such course is
deemed necessary for the better treat
ment OF his case.
1t is learned from another source that
Mr.. Blaine will soon be removed to
some point in the south with the hope
that the warmer climate will have a
beneficial effect on his bronchial trou.

INDIANAPOLIS, ND. Now 25.-At s

VANDERBILTs VILLA
Burned to Ashss-A Costly Residence Goes
Up In smoke.

Ur In Smoke.
NEwpoRr, R. l., Nov, 25.-The
Breakers" the elegant and costly sum-
mer residence Of Cornelius Vanderbilt
is tonight smouldering mass OF ruins.
Blackened and crumbling walls Of brick
and heaps OF ashes arc all.that now re-
mains OF the palatial villa, which for
years has been numbered among New
ports largest and finest residences.
The fro also destroyed all the valu-
able contents OF the villa, including
furniture, bric-a-brac, wearing apparel
and rare and costly articles Of every
description. Mr. Vanderbilt himself
stated in the early stages OF the fire
that in his opinion, nothing could be
done to save his property. A portion
OF the furniture was saved, seeming
large in itself, but insignificant either
in quantity or value when compared
with that sacrificed.
The house was built about dozen or
fifteen years ago for z. Lorillard, oil New
York, and was purchased with the eS-
tensiye grounds by Mr.. Vanderbilt IN
1885. More than 100000 was expended
in additions and improvements to the
building, the value Of which was esti-
mated at moro than half that sum at
the time OF sale.
The character of the furniture and
decorations may be judged from the
fact that in single hall were hung
tapestries estimated to be worth $4,000
or more. Members OF the family and
servants also lost all their clothing in
the general destruction.

Robert Bonner says Bud Doobie Is Not
Entitled to that Reward.
New YoRK, Nov. 25.-The interview
with Bud Dobble. the famous driver
and trainer of trotting horses, has occa-
stoned much talk among horsemen.
Mr.. Dobble's opinion that he has fairly
won the 5000 offered by Mr.. Bonner
when Dobble drove Nancy Hanks q
mile in faster time than Maud S. had
ever made, seems to be concurred in by
sporting men.
Mr.. Bonner, however. holds to his
original decision that the fast milo was
not made under the proper conditions.
Mr.. Bonner says: "Dobble has no
claim at all. In the published corre-
spondence l stated l would give 5000
to the owner Of any horse which trotted
a mile in 2:05. There was not any con-
tract. said / would give the amount

suit OF a cold. When the fover came

aggravated form, and the patient, while
mot in much distress, is suffering great

of intermittent delirium. The Presi-

condition is such that it may terminate
fatally.

It can be said that the procession will

A PROBABLE ooLIArsE.

An unmistakable symptom Of the
general apprehension of an carly col
lapse of the government is found in the
fact that almost no private bills are be-
ing promoted in parliament. lawyers
who are the best Judges as to whether
the session will be long enough to deal
with private bills have advised agents
not to promote such bills on the ground
that It would be a waste of money to
do so, an early defeat of the government
being regarded as probable.
The house OF commons will present n
unique spectacle at the opening of the
session. Aa the Irish parties have de-
cided to sit with the opposition, the
anti-ministerial side Of the house will
be crowded to overlooking, while the
ministerial benches will be sparsely
filled. Some Conservatives enter con-
fidently upon the moral effect of such a
sight; but when the Irish members
troopinto the government lobby to vote
with Gladstone the effect will be the
other way.

OLD AGE PENSION.

The Archbishop OF Canterbury ap-
proved the church OF ENGLAND scheme
for the formation OF an old age pension
fund. A powerful committee is back OF
the movement, including the Duke OF
Westminster, Lord Halsbury, the
bishops OF London and Rochester and
others OF prominence. The dissenters
view the scheme as planned suspicious
ly, believing that.it is intended through
It's agency to recruit adherents to the
established church among the working
men. If a parliament grant be demand
ed it will be rejected, unless the dis.
senters are given controlling power in
the administration Of the fund.
WHEN PARLIAMENT WILL MEET.
The cabinet has decided that parlia-
ment shall meet on January &c. Mr..
John Morley, chief secretary for Ire
land, has taken to Dublin draft of Mr..
Gladstone's home rule bill which will
be submitted to the Irish leaders. Mr..
Morley will explain to them the main
provisions of the measure with the
view to receiving suggestions as to the
notifications they deem essential. 1t
is understood that the measure pro-
yides for the retention OF the full
strength Of the Irish parliament and
for the strengthening OF the imperial
vote.
The determination OF Mr.. Labouchere,
the well known Radical member for
Northampton, to move an amendment
to the address in reply to the queens
speech on the question of the retention
of Uganda, has already obtained for his
promises from score OF members that
they will support such an amendment
as he proposes to offer. Should the
government majority disappears on the
first division, which appears likely to
be the case when vote is taken on the
Uganda amendment the government
will be saved from collapse by the
Unionists. who support the government
policy SO far as Uganda is~concerned.

that free coinage of silver at such

prosperity OF all the great producing

One essential condition is that
these dollars shall have and retain
