sWAsH1NGToN Jan. 6.-Excitement was
caused in the department. Of state this
morning over the sudden illness OF Score
tary Blaine. The alarm wholly subsided
about noon when the secretary, who was
attended by q physician from the war and
navy departments, reported him resting
quietly and being entirely out Of
danger. The secretary was removed
to his home in carriage.
Later information established the fact that
it was caused wholly by an attack of indi-
gestion, and as soon as his stomach was re-
lisved by light emetic, he suffered no fur
ther pain, but simply the after effects of
nausea.
There were all sorts OF sensational ru-
mors afoat tonight regarding Blaine's
condition. An Associated press represen-
tative interviewed separately the physi-
clans who attended him and all agreed that
he is only suffering from indigestion, re-
sultlng from over eating.

Mr. Dalzell, in my opinion, is in every way
qualified to fill that place. As man and a

is scholar of fine attainments and lawyer
of marked ability. AS Congressman he

AUSTIN LETTER.

AUSTIN, Texas, March II, 1892.
To the San Antonio LIGHT:
The solons are here again and at
work as If they had adjourned only
| last week. But little work has beef,
done, as 1t takes three or four days to
get into working order. Some com.
mittee clerks and pages had to be
elected, and that, together with
reading the governor message. took
up most of the first day. The senate
though dispensed with the reading
of the message something unprece-
dented, as the constitution seems to
say that it ahsll be done, it was an
done to avoid the tedious ordeal of
hearing it read, but the friends of
the Governor, as no doubt the Cover
nor himself considered it o piece of
premeditated disoourtesy. but moth
ing no doubt was further from the
minds Of the Senators. a
The vacancies In the committee
clerkships were filled with little op-
position by the successful candidates,
and In some cases there was no oppo-
sition. AS general thing there are
dozens of candidates for these posi-
tions, but that is at the beginning of
q new session, but in this Instance
few knew of vacancies and conse-
quently few applied for them.
There was Mills caucus last night
and a more enthusiastic meeting is
seldom seen. A large hall in the
fourth story of the capitol was the
scene of action and only the faith
ful were admitted. Anti.Mills men
were requested to quietly leave the
assembly, but as no one left presum-
ably there were no enemies in camp.
There was perfect harmony through.
out the caucus and many resolutions
went through unanimously. Digni-
| fed senators and horny Legislators
cheei ed Justify and often during the
speeches made at the beginning of
the meeting. One result OF the meet
ing shows one thing most conclusive
ly and that Is, Roger @ goes
through on the first ballot if something
doesn't "drOp" before the election.
! u report showed that he had II votes,
| while Chiffon had 20 and Culberson
20. There were some few men at the
caucus, q very few, who had not yet
heard from their constituents, but
| were sure they would instruct Tor
Mills.
There was little done in either
house today. The senate did not con-
vene until 10 and no bill of import
ance came up.
In the House some half dozen bills
were introduced, among them uni
form text book bill by Cochran, of
Dallas, and q bill to define the 10th
judicial district, by Gerard.
