FOURTEEN PERlsHED.

Burned or Killed in Trying to Escape
from the Flames.
PARIS, December PA most disas-
trous confagration has occurred at Ber-
son, village of Girondh, and fourteen
of the villagers were either burned to
death in their homes or were killed
while attempting to escape. The flames,
famed by high wind, spread with
frightful rapidity, and it was early seen
that the efforts of the villagers to fight
the fire would be fruitless. Attention
was then turned to saving the aged and
the little children, and it was in this
work of rescue that several Of the vii
layers lost their lives. The greater part
of the village was destroyed and the in
habitants are in great straits, owing. to
the lack of food and proper clothing.
The residents of surrounding villages are
doing all in their power to alleviate their
sufferings.

WAsHINGT December. 21.@At Mr..
Blaine's house this morning inquirers
were told that he had passed acomfopt-
able night, and was about the same as he
was yesterday.
DR.. Johnston visited his patient shortly
af ter o'clock, and remained half an
ho UT, The statement, of the attendant
was made after the physician had left.
The slnmbers of the distinguished pa
tient had not been disturbed in the night;
he had rested comfort 4bly, sand Dr..
Johnston was able to give..to the family
the assurance that Mr.. Blaine condition
was no worse than 1T had been the day
before, when ne was, speaking in reia-
tive sense, only getting along fairly
well.
To a reporter DR.. johnson said: 'Mr.
Blaine is just about the same as he was
yesterday-that is to say there has been
no appreciable change since yesterday.
think / asserted then that he was doing
pretty well.''
"No,n added the doctor, there is
nothing special to say this morning
about his condition"
The public interest in Mr.. Blaine's
condition, while strong, is not SO keen as
it was few days ago, when for the first
time there came full realization of the
fact that he was near the end of his
brilliant career, and, as consequence,
there were not many callers today.
1t is entirely premature to discuss as
vet the removal of Mr.. Blaine from
Washington to climate more favorable
to him.
He has only recovered slightly from
the severe attack of Sunday and another
attack that would still further reduce
his vitality is, of course, to be feared,
though it is hoped that it may be avert
ed
Even should the very best happen, and
he rapidly recover, it will be some time
before his removal can be given the
slightest consideration.

WASHINGTON, December 21.-After the
morning hour expired, the anti-option
bill got the right of way in the Senate
today. Mr.. Washburn, who has charge
of the bill, allowed Mr. Perkins of Kan
sas to address the Senate on resolution
to treat with the five civilized tribes in
the Indian territory to induce them to
take homesteads in severalty. Mr.. Per-
kins thought Congress should provide
for statehood in the Indian territory.
Mr.. Mcpherson introduced a joint reso-
luton authorizing and directing the Sec
retary of the Treasury to suspend, until
otherwise ordered by Congress, all pur-
chases of silver bullion provided for in
the first section of the act of July "A,
1890, and gave notice that Immediately
after the holiday recess he would call 1t
up for action
The anti-option bill was taken up and
Mr.. Palmer proceeded with an argument
in opposition He i'd nothing was fur
ther from the truth than the idea that
the farmers and planters of the United
States demanded the bill or would de-
mand it if they were made aware OF its
provisions. The effect of the bill would
be to drive spectators out of business
and give to large capitalists monopoly
in dealing in farm products. The effect
would be to diminish purchases, drive
out competition, and leave the field OF
business to the men SO fiercely demand
ing the passage of the pending bill.
Mr. PETER expressed his approval OF
the measure He said 80 per cent of the
farmers favored the bill, or another hav-
ing the same object in view.

I shall not repeat my visit of this eve
ming unless summoned by his family.
That do not expect" The doctor
said Mr.. Blaine sat up during portion
of the day, adding: "Mr. Blaine is much
stronger than the outside world has been
led to believe. In fact, his condition at
no time has been as critical as painted in
the newspapers. 1t is true he was, for
few minutes, very sick man at one
time Sunday, but not as near to death
as believed by some. He Is still very i'll.
He is in no immediate danger of
DEATH
''Do you think Mr.. Blaine's present
show of improvement will warrant his
removal to a more congenial climate in
the near future?"
After meditating few seconds, the
doctor said: II cannot say as to that.
It is useless to look that far in the fu-
ture.n
While Mr.. Blaine's physicians are as
discreet in their utterances as men can
we'll be, their tone and manner inn
press those who converse with them
daily that, while Mr.. Blaine is in no i'm
