morning there was no indication Of any
change in the situation at the Blaine resi-
dence.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3O-The feature OF
yesterday at the Blaine mansion was the
arrival from New York of DR.. LOOMS,
who has q wide reputation as an expert on
Bright's disease. He and Drs. johnson
and Hyatt held Consultation and are re-
ported to have. agreed exactly a. to the
trouble with the patient and the
correct treatment. At IL n. m. they
issued bulletin in which the
public was assured that Mr.. Blaine was
in no immediate danger, but It was "im-
possible to predict etc. Ane Of the doc
tors added to this the hope he had that the
patient might improve sufficiently to be
taken to California
All Quiet Twelve Hours Later.
~Mr. Blaine is resting easily" said DR..
Johnston at midnight, In reply to the usual
questioning. very much to my gratiica-
ton I found him awake and apparently
cheerful. He had partaken of nourishment
throughout the evening, and the family
were also more cheerful. DR.. LOOMS
speedy return to New York is evidence that
we do not consider Mr.. Blaine in any i'm
mediate danger. This last call of mine was
not originally intended, but as was out
with my family making social calls at a
rather late hour / thought would run in
and see Mr. Blaine before retiring During
my stay he conversed with me at consid-
cradle length and / shall. be greatly sur
prised if my services are needed at any time
during the night"
A Friend Who Is Not Hopeful.
A friend OF the family stated that Mr.
Blaine is liable to a recurrent attack of
heart failure at any moment, and that the
family have been warned to prepare for the
worst when it comes "When," said the
gentleman, "the physicians state that Mr..
Blaine is better they simply mean that he
is alive, and that is about the true state
ment of his condition. Cordials of a stimu-
lative nature and other liquid nourishment
are given him at frequent intervals, and
these alone keep him alive. He lies help
less on his bed and cannot change his
posture without the aid of his attendants.
Mr.. Blaine may not live twelve hours; he
may survive three or four days, but |
doubt it"

DR.. Johnston was asked il there was not
great danger of complications in Mr..

into the matter of the award of the con-
tract for printing the Worlds fair cata-
logue to the w. 3. Conkey company re-
sumed its investigation yesterday. Di-
rector Butler, who carried on the negotia-
tions, repudiated the statement that
there was any job in the matter. He had
carefully examined the situation and
found that Conkey's was the only firm
that had the plant to do the work. If bids
had been invited Conkey would have got
the concession at so, 900 instead of $780,
600. One or two firms who we're not asked
to bid testified, but admitted that they
would have had to form stock company.
