is BLAINE VERY ILL?
Conflicting Reports as TO the
Ex-Secretary's Health.
RETIOENOE DEEPENs THE MYSTERY

Is is Impossible to Learn Anything Def
mite Regarding MIR. BIaine's Condition.
The Anxiety of the Family Very Appar-
ent-To Move the Invalid to siilder
Climate.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-It is impos
sible to learn anything definite from Mr..
Blaine's physician or from the members
of his family in regard to the precise
condition of the distinguished invalid.
Inquiries at the house are met with
the response that Mr. Blaine is getting
along nicely" that he is resting com
fortably," and often that he is very
much better" Intimate friends of the
family who are familier with the real
situation are almost equally reticent on
the subject of Mr.. Blaine's health. They
are all Influenced, of course, by Mr..
Blaine's well known desire to Withhold all
information concerning his bodily all
ment.
It is apparent to everybody at all con-
versant with the facts, however, that
the members of Mr.. Blaine's family are in
state of anxiety if not of alarm at his
present condition. His case no longer
yields readily to treatment and the feai
is become general that he is suffering
from some severe organic trouble.
The family have determined to remove
him to warmer and less changeabl'
climate as soon as he is strong enough L
endure the Journey The recent sudder
changes in temperature IN Washing
ton and the prevailing damp and un
seasonable weather are said to havl
greatly interfered with the successful
treatment of Mr.. Blaine's case and &
have hasteDed the arrangements for hi
departure. 1t is said that he will b
taken either to Aiken, S. c., or to som
place in Florida.

Ministers Despatched to Trent with
South and Central American Powers
To Develope Trade Relations with
France, Spain and Australia.
OTTAWA, Ont, Dec. 15.-At a meeting
of the treasury board yesterday it was
definitely decided that the department
of inland revenue and customs should be
consolidated under the newly created
dedartment Of trade and commerce and
of finance, as formerly. One Of Mr..
Bowells efforts as minister Of trade and
commerce will be in the direction Of de-
veloping Canadas trade relations with
South America and Australia. Govern.
ment agents are to be appointed.
Minister of Finance Foster who has in.
itiated the treaty now in progress be-
tween France and Spain regarding the
development of Canadas trade relations
in that direction, says that he has every
confidence in the Dominion government
being able to extend Canadas trade re
lations in that direction to meet any
possible deficiency or shrinkage in the
exports from Canada to the United
States. The duty now of negotiating
treaties between Canada and foreign
countries will be invested in the minister
of tIade and commerce.
Ministers will be despatched TO the
central points of commerce in the Wesi
Indies as well in South American points
with view to seeing how far Canada cal
enter in closer relations with those coun
tries with whom the United States en-
tered into commercial treaties.

Instead It's AuthOrltatiNety Stlu the IA
Premier is Feeling Very Comfortable and
Considers Leaving Washington.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Dr. w. w.
johnson, Mr. Blaine's physician, states
that there is no truth whatever in the
story that Mr.. Blaine is dying. The
doctor says that so far from Mr.. Blaine's
condition being critical, the fact is that
when he left his patient yesterday after
noon Mr.. Blaine was sitting up in bed,
feeling very comfortable, and there has
been since so little cause for alarm that
he Or Johnson), up to the present time
40 a. m), has not thought it necessary
to repeat his visit.
This statement of Mr. Blaine's condi-
ton received confirmation last night
from Joseph Manly, of Augusta, Me-.
his close friend. who before leaving
Washington, had a chat with the ex-
Secretary and said that he left him dis
cussing plans for going away to some
point not yet determined.
The rumors as to Mr.. Blaine being in
extremis are supposed to have arisen
from the fact that his daughter, Mrs
Damrosch, has come over from New
York to see him and are believed to have
originated in New York.
| Inquiry was made at the Blaine man
sion by a United Press reporter at 10. X
