From an intimate friend OF the fam
lily it was learned only that when Mr..
Blaine was suddenly seized with the
sinking spell which threatened for some
minutes to terminate in heart failure,
that his family realized how near he
was to death. For a few seconds he
seemed to be in extremis, and the
watchers bent anxiously over him. The
emaciated face of the dying statesman
was white as marble and his features
sadly drawn. At times he
Scarcely Seemed to Breathe,
and at others gasped for breath. The
physicians who had been hastily sum-
moned were in the meantime not idle.
The piled him with stimulative COR
dials, the trained nurses chafed his ex-
tremities, and it was only after work
ing over the patient for upwards of
thirty minutes and the application of
every art known to the medical profess
sion that Mr.. Blaine was slowly re-
vived. But the battle with death found
him extremely weak, weaker than at
any time when suffering relapse. He
was too weak even to whisper, and lay
with not a sign of recognition in his
half-closed eyes.

BLAINE IS BETTER.

The Distinguished Invalid Said to Have
Passed Very Good Night
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O.--Mr. Blaine ia
better and although the doctors do not
hold out the hope of permanent re-
covery, the family feel that the crisis has
been passed and that parhaps the loving
husband and father may be spared.
The following bulletin has been given
out by the physicians:
1t is stated that he sat up for a short
time and talked with the members of
the family in very cheerful frame of
mind. An old friend of the family called
and was surprised to be received by Miss
Hattie Blaine in manner that indicated
more than words the feeling of content
ment and happiness that possessed her.
She said that her father had passed a
very comfortable night and awoke in
the morning refreshed and bright, he
took some nourishment and was de-
cidedly better thap he has been for a
few days past. The sinking spell had
lost its effect and the reaction had ap-
parently left .he invalid stronger than
he was before. Many callers came to
inquire after the condition of Mr.. Blaine
and leave words Of sympathy with the
members of the family. Among these
were Secretary Foster, who stopped on
his way to the state department
and remained in the house perhaps if
teen minutes. The secretary spoke Nery
encouragingly of Mr.. Blaiils's condition,
but Senator Hale, after his call, was

wounded at 3 o'clock a. m. by two

fire. Several shots were exchanged, one
of which struck Mr.. Austin in the
stomach. He fell to the sidewalk and
while lying PROSTATE he emptied his

which they escaped. Mr.. Austin is A.

The Life OF Hon. James G.. Blaine
Hung by a Thread for q
Day.
He Has, However, Rallied and There
Is Said TO Be No Imminent
Danger.
His Family Very Much Alarmed for
Time-A Specialist I'm At
tendance.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19-All day long
the life Of James G. Blaine has hung
trembling in the balance. For more
than hour in the forenoon hope was
abandoned and the end was momentar-
lily expected by physicians, family and
friends. All stimulation was thrown
aside in the apparent imminent presence
of death and the suppressed facts OF his
illness-the long denied but now ad-
mitted Bright's disease, the occasional
interval of delirium-the long hours
when he has lain incapable of speech or
motion (as it is said was the case
when Cardinal Gibbons paid him his
recent friendly call) these and other dis
tressing features Of his illness, all Incl
dental to the one overpowering organic
trouble, Bright's disease, aggravated as
this has been Of late by cold con-
tracted while imprudently venturing
out driving two weeks ago, and by ma
larial fever and confronted by q con-
stitution impaired by nearly two years
continuous sickness, all these facts
are now tacitly admitted.
The physicians assert that there have
not been any heinorrhages, as has been
asserted, but this is almost the only
alarming symptom which Is now
denied.
The First Crisis
was reached between 10 and IL o'clock
a. m, when sinking spell set in from
which the worst was feared. His fam
lily were called around the bedside and
his physicians sent messenger after
messenger to the nearest drug store
with prescriptions requiring hasty at
tention. The distinguished patient lay
unconscious and to all appearances dy-
ing. 1t was shortly before o'clock p.
m. when slight rally set it. His pulse,
which had almost ceased to beat, be-
came again perceptible, and the partial
consciousness was restored. At &.
o'clock his physicians, Drs. w. H. John
ston and Hyatte, considered him SO
much improved as to render their con-
slant presence at the bedside unneces-
sary. There had been no rally or no
marked Improvement in his condition
which would give rise to any hope Of
ultimate recovery, but the crisis was
past.
At 4:3O p. IN. United Press reporter
saw James Ct. Blaine, Jr., who said
his fathers condition was very bad aud
they were very anxious. 1t was feared
that in view Of his enfeebled condition
relapse must involve the gravest con-
sequences.

Iarners condition. He said, while the
family has had the greatest confidence
in the judgement of the attending
physicians, still, they felt they would
like to have the opinion OF disting-
uished physician who was specialist in
the disease with which Mr.. Blaine APP
pears to be afflicted, and at the request
OF the family, DIR. Alfred L. Loomis, of
New York, had been sent for. DIR.
Loomis arrived early in the morning
and went at once to the Blaine mansion
where he remained with Doctors Johns

DR.. Loomis conceded with his col

the case and agreed with them in every
particular in regard to the treatment
that had been followed. At the close
of the consultation the doctors gave out
the following statement:

past week has givea serious anxiety, yet at

The doctors will not say, however. that
Mr.. Blaine is anything like being out of
danger. Still, one Of them said that he
had very strong hopes that Mr.. Blaine
might improve SO that it would be possi-

thought, be beneficial, if it did not work
