Sympathy in Washington.

WASHINGTON, June 19.-The few Sem
ators and Representatives at the capital
today heard with profound regret and
surprise of the sudden death of Emmons
Blaine. Without regard to party OF fac
ton, they had only words of earnest
sympathy for the bereaved father and
family of the deceased. The Senators
who knew Emmons Blaine spoke in the
highest terms of his personal character
istics and business ability. He had, they
said, taken no part in public affairs prior
to the Minneapolis convention, but the
energy, shrewdness and ability displayed
by him in his business pursuits were
guarantees for a bright future had he
survived. Several of the Republican
Senators were extremely solicitous as to
the effect of this eliminating blow upon
the ex-Secretary of State, coming as it
does so soon after other heavy bereaye-
ments and domestic Affections.
The President sent message of con-
dolence to Mr.. and Mrs. Blaine.

pathy in this hour of their great bereave-
ment. Emmons is the fourth of Mr..
Blaine's children to pass away, and the
last of those born in the old house where
his father made his home during his
early years in this city. Messages of
coincidence were sent by Governor Bur-
leigh, Mayor Chase, Hon. j. Manchester
Haynes, Joseph A. Homan, Postmaster
Manley and a number of other promi-
nent citizens.
A sad group met the Pullman train
when it arrived in this city. Mr.. and
Mrs. Blaine were aboard. They were
accompanied by their daughter Hattie,
and Mr.. Manley. A few friends went in
to the car to express their sympathy.
They reported that Mr.. Blaine appeared
to bear up well physically under the
great sorrow he has sustained, despite
his mental anguish. He seemed scarce
ly able to realize that the son he left so
short time ago in the fullness of health
and strength, has really passed away.
AS one friend expressed it: ''He shows
great fortitude, but appears to be dazed
by the suddenness of the great loss he
has sustained. He has leaned very much
upon Emmons."

How Mr.. and Mrs. Blaine Heard of the
Death of Their Son.
BAR HARBoR, June 19.-The first in
timation that Emmons Blaine was ill
was telegram that reached Stanwood
just after breakfast this morning, saying
that Emmons was i'll on Wednesday but
was out Thursday. This was followed
shortly after by message saying that
he was dangerously i'll. At about noon
third dispatch stated that he was grow
ing worse and the doctors said that if no
change came in "a hours there was no
hope. Upon the first news of his serious
illness, preparations were made to leave
on the first train. Between 1 and 2 o.
clock this afternoon came word of his
death. Mrs. Blaine was frantic with
grief and the whole family were greatly
prostrated. Emmons Blaine had many
friends in Bar Harbor and the news
spread rapidly. Expressions of sym-
pathy were heard on every hand. 1t
was nearly half an hour before the ferry
steamer was to leave when the ex-sccre-
tary accompanied by Mrs. Blaine and
Miss Hattie Blaine arrived at the wharf
The whole party seemed overwhelmed
with sorrow. Mr.. Blaine was very pale
and walked with a quick, agitated step.
Mrs. Blaine, who leaned upon her hus-
bands arm gave way to her sorrow, sob
bing and moaning aloud. The party
took seats in the pilot house as the boat
left the wharf. Mr.. Blaine sat with
bowed head and his hat pulled down
over his eyes. The party will be Joined

A FALSE REPORT.

Mr.. ManIey Says Emmons Blaine Was
Not Worn Out at Minneapolis.
AUGUSTA, Me-, June 19.-Hon. j. Fl.
Manley today sent the following commu-
nication to the agent of the Associated
Press:
AUGUSTA, Me-, June 10, 1892.
The statement widely published that
Emmons Blaine returned from Minneapo-
lis sorely disappointed at the result and
worn out by his labors is entirely erro-
neous. Emmons roomed with me at the
West hotel during the convention and 1
was with him constantly. I dined at his
home in Chicago on Sunday, June 18th,
and he, with his wife, drove to the sta
ton Sunday evening to bid me good bye.
He was in perfect health and the best of
spirits. I never saw him in a happier
frame of mind, lighter hearted and fuller
of hope for the future. His last words
to me were: ssThe result of the conven-
tion is all right. Give my love to every
one in Maine. You will see us all this
summer. Do not have any misgivings
for father, his fame is secure.''

Sudden Death Of EmmOns Blaine in
Chicago.
THE STRICKEN PARENTS NOW
TRAVELLING WESTWARD.

Blood Poisoning, Due to Disease of the
Death-The Late Mr.. Blaine's Labors
at the Minneapolis Convention-How
the Sad News Reached His Parents at
Their Bar Harbor Home.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 1e.-This city was
startled today by the news of the death
of Emmons Blaine, the son of Hon.
James G.. Blaine.
The death scene took place in the great
brown stone mansion of slM McC Cormick
family on Rush street. The wife, Mrs.
Emmons Blaine, and the 2-year-old son,
Mccormick Blaine, were the only persons
present, beside Mrs. Cyrus Mccormick,
young Mrs. Blaine's mother. Death came
SO swiftly that there was not time to
summon Mr.. and Mrs. W. G.. Mccormick,
who were in the house at the time.
The first confirmation of the fact of
death was given by two of the attending
physicians, DR.. Billings and DR.. Alport.
Their statement was simply: sMr. EN-
tic@mia (blood poisoning), due to disease
of the bowels
During the entire week of the Mime
apolis convention, it is said, Emmons
Blaine hardly slept an hour, and was un-
der intense nervous strain. He returned
here last Saturday greatly exhausted
and somewhat indisposed, but he attrib-
uted his slight gastric and Intestinal de-
rangement to overwork, and laughed at
the anxiety of his friends.
Monday he felt much better and left
his residence for short time, though he
was far from being well. Tuesday he
felt rather worse, and remained in doors
the greater part of the day, though not
taking to his bed.
On Wednesday, however, symptoms
began to annoy him considerably and
that night he retired Enthusiastically ill.
Drs. Billings and Alport diagnosed the
case and at once discovered the gravity
of his malady.
The best methods of procedure were
resorted to, and it was believed that Mr.
Blaine's exceptionally vigorous condi-
ton would enable him to battle the
dangerous ailment. No alarming dis
turbance made itself evident on Thurs
day and, the family entertained no ap-
prehension. In fact, only Mrs.
Blaine knew the exact nature of Mr..
Blaine's illness.
Friday afternoon, however, there was
a sudden elevation of temperature, and
the physicians knew that their efforts
had not ayailed to avert the dreaded out
come.

A Sketch of Emmons Blaine.

Emmons Blaine was born August 7,
1857, in Augusta. He was educated at
preparatory schools and Harvard Uni
versity. He entered Harvard in 1874
and graduated in due course in the class
of 1878. He afterward spent two years
in the Harvard law school, and after he
finished his legal study there he went to
Chicago in November 1880. He was %
years old then and he became clerk in
the Office of the general manager of the
Chicago & Northwestern Railroad Com
pany.
In 1884, when his father was nominal
ed for the presidency, he was still with
the Chicago & Northwestern railway and
his title at that time was division freight
agent for the Iowa division.
Emmons Blaine, at the time of his
heath, was vice president of the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad, and had until
quite recently resided at Baltimore,
coming to Chicago to take charge of the
Western interests of the company. His
wedding in New York state to Miss Anita
Mccormick, daughter of the great reap
er manufacturer, was a social event of
the first magnitude.
There are still three children living,
cNilOo W. CAs, DIlS. OdLlIOSCu Ol NEW
York and Miss Harriet, who is soon to
marry Truxton Beale, United States
minister to Persia.
Gov. Russell of Massachusetts, was in
college at the time Emmons Blaine was
there and they have been warm personal
friends.
Mr.. Blaine was member of the Hasty
Pudding Club and of the Parcellian, the
ultra swelliasocial organization of the
University. He was conspicuously
able student, particularly in history and
political economy. His physique was
never entirely robust. He tried several
times for the freshman crew, but each
time he was disqualified on account of
lack of muscular efficiency. His life at
Cambridge was in every sense praise
worthy, and he left the University with
honors.

WORDS OF SYMPATHY.
Resolutions Adopted by the Congrega-
tional Delegates.

tional Delegates.
ELLSWORTH, June 1S.-The Sebenoa,
which carried the grief-stricken Blaine
family across the bay to begin their sad
journey to Chicago, had also on board a
large number of delegates returning
from the annual Congregational CON
vention at Machias. Rev. l.. H. Hallock
of Waterville obtained an informal vote
of these delegates, in which all the
passengers joined, to send in a message
of coincidence to Mr.. Blaine and family.
A committee was chosen to form the
message, and Mrs. Oscar Holloway of
Augusta, who knows the Blaine family
well, was asked to carry it to them, but
she declined, as she felt the matter too
deeply herself.
Mr.. Hallock and Deacon Duren of
Bangor carried it to the stateroom of the
parlor car which they occupied. Miss
Blaine met them at the door and took
the paper. The gentlemen briefly ex-
planned to her it's contents.
She thanked them sadly and said she
was deeply grateful.
Young Mr.. Hale rode on the platform
of the car to Ellsworth.

AS soon as the train stopped she stepped

delegates, and it expresses as well the
feeling of the passengers, all of whom

TO BoWDoIN STUDENTS.
President Hyde's Baccalaureate on the
Authority of Christianity.

BRUNSWICK, Me-, June 19-Commence-
ment at Bowdoin began today, when
President Hyde preached the baccalau-
,reate sermon. of which the following is
an abstract:
And, as he was walking in the temple there
came to him the chief priests and the scribes
and the elders; and they said unto him, by what
thee this authority to do these things? And
Jesus said unto them, / will ask of you one
question, and answer me and l will tell you by
27-29. ~
The question the scribes put to Jesus
is the question which the world is put
ting to Christianity today-the question
of the nature and evidence of authority
in spiritual things. 1t is useless to meet
this question with the timid and evasive
answers of feeble and false apologetics.
The church must adopt the method of
its Master and put some bold and search
ing questions of its own. The army that
romans in its intrenchments is beaten.
The church that hides behind an assum-
ed infallibility, whether of Bible, or
creed, or tradition, or council, or assem-
bly,, or pope, by that very act forfeits it's
claim to the respect of the modern mind.
The only evidence of Christianity that is
worth anything today is its present in
dispensableness to the highest well-being
of man. 1t is no longer supremely i'm
portant question how Christianity came
into the world 1000 years ago. The real
question is, Can the highest moral, and
social and spiritual life be maintained
today without Christianity? To
the maintenance of the highest
ideal of human life three things
are necessary: First, the ideal must be
definite, personal and,real. Christianity
| finds this personal ideal in the historic
Christ. Second: the ideal life must be
| Systematically cultivated. Christianity
provides for this in its sacred literature.
and its regular worship. Third: the
ideal life must be supported by enthusi-
astic association. This fellowship in the
highest aims is the meaning of the
church.
Christianity alone affords these three
essential conditions of the maintenance
of human life upon the highest plane,
Christ is the person, the Bible is the
literature, prayer is the exercise, the
church is the institution that keeps the
ideal life clear before our eyes and warm
within our hearts.
The authority of Christ and Christiani-
ty is to be found, not in the dust of ira
dition, not in the clouds of mysticism.
not in the sands of ecclesiasticism, but
in its Incompatible power to generate
and maintain and propagate the ideal of
unselfish social service, and to rebuke,
repress and overthrow the ideal of sensu-
al, materialistic self-indulgence.

LONDON, June 19.-Despite the rather
fiippant manner in whicn Lord Sails
bury and other high officials have init
mated their esteem for the Behring Sea
question, it is an open secret. today, that
the commissioners appointed by the gov
ernment to represent the claims Of Great
Britain at the approaching conference are
every day given many hours to the prep
aration of their case, and are gradually
drawing in to it's consideration all the
able men in the government. Before the
question was put in such shape that it's
treatment meant plausible representa-
tion of tangible facts, the commission
ers, and, in fact, all the exalted person
ages here, believed they could readily
quote Presidents that would sustain their
position, and considered their argument
more than half manufactured already by
history, the other half to rest upon the
eloquence or persuasive oratory of the
commissioners themselves, But now
these gentlemen have announced
not only that they are hard
at work, but that they fear they
will not be able to have their case prop
erly in shape before November, and sug-
gest the possibility of an extension of
| time beyond that month.
The papers have begun in semi-cen-
! serious and semi-satirical way to refer to
the matter, but enough is said seriously
| to indicate that the decision of this CON
ference will be considered most impor-
| tant and that the interest is so great in
official circles that the former indifference
has been replaced by strong desire that
| the result should be in favor of Great
| Britain,
