BLAINE AGAIN Ill.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 6-Cireat excitement
VAS caused In the department of state this
forenoon by report that Secretary Blaine
had been taken suddenly i'll while at work
Ia his Office. The report proved TO be true,
hut every precautiou was taken TO prevent
The fact from becoming public. Surgeon
General Brown OF the navy, whose Office :
Ia the same building, WAS summoned aud
was promptly in attendance Another
physician from the war department WAS
also on hand and in a few minutes under
their joint Efforts, Mr. Blaine was made TO
feel comparatively comfortable His
daughter, Miss Hattie. was informed OF
his condition, and WAS soon 81 his side
The alarm WAS great at first, hut suoSided
about noon when the secretary WAS re-
ported as esting easy and AS being entirely
out of danger. The nature of his illness
is not known at present but Is said to De
due altogether TO a temporary stomachic
arrangement. The secretary WAS removed
10 his home IN carriage. He Is now re
ported 10 be much improved and IL is ex-
pected that he viii De aole TO be out to-
morrow.
Later information concerning Secretary
Blame sudden illness established the faci
that IL was caused wholly hy All attack Of
indigestion, the result OF some impru lence
at breakfast, aud that as soon as Ills
stomach was relieved by light emetic uf
salt aud water, he suffered no further pain
except tie after effects of nausea. The
only prescription made for him suisse
ouently was a lme-wat-r mixture TO re-
store the tone Of the stomach.
All sorts of rumors were Rfloat tonight
in regard 10 Mr.. Blaine's condition. The
majority were of the most sensational
character, being TO the effect that be had
broken down completely and was in
most critical condition. Some Of them

claimed to be), but they were bimetalllsts
of the character that was always satisfied
with being SO in words and never In act.
He did not intend to quarrel with the act
of July IA, 1890, but he did intend TO snow
that it was not a sIver act. lt was
money act, and as such 1t had received tne
approyal of the senators who had voted
against free coinage and had received the
condemnation of the senators VINO had
voted for free coinage.
After quoting sentence from the presi-
dents message 10 the effect that the Dill
had been expected to bring the price CT
silver I'D to $1.29 per ounce, Mr.. Teller
challenged the executive for proof OF that
statement, and asserted that only one
senator (alluding to Mr.. Jones OF Nevadal
had intimated that the act of 1890 would
bring silver up to par. DE had declared
when that bill was under discussion that
it was not silver bill and that II was not
acceptable to the silver people.
But there was, he said, another PROPOSE
ton coming from the executive. what
was it2 1t was that the United States
should accumulate all the gold OF the
world and that then the money centers OF
Europe would say that, the United States
having got all the gold, they would JOIN
the United States IN the work OF using
silver as money. Coming as lt dld from
the executive of the nation he (Mr Teller
was bound to speak OF 1t with respect,
whatever he might think or feel. How
was the United States TO accumulate the
gold of the world? Even when this cnun-
try had abundant crops and was enjoying
great prosperity, gold had left the country
at the rate of one million dollars per day
He ent -red protest against tie declara-
tion of the executive and the senator from
Vermont hat the silver men were respon-
sible for the silver le sislatiOn OF 1871. lie
himself had declared that he would vote
for il with extreme reluctance; that ne
would vote for it because he thought that
IL would revive dropping industries; would
stimulate business, and would bring nope
and courage to the people of the United
States. He did not think it was silver
bill, because il was not. When there WAS
an undue amount of silver In the treasury,
the country would come TO "A silver basis,
and if it ever did so, it would be through
the act of 1890 He would rather see the
country on silver basis today than on
gold basis. Every American Statesman
ought TO direct his attention to see how
she two metals could be tied together
,ndissolublv, so that they would never be
parted. 1t could only be done 10y heroic
steps and passing a free coinage bill, Ia
the hope that il would bring the world to
the American policy, or else that 1T would
lead to an international agreement.
No action was taken on the bill, and the
senate, out of respect to the memory of
the late Representative Gamble, ad-
journed.

THE gERING SEA DISPUTE.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Wh-n, on \ J.
vember 10 of last year, Attorney G-ier Il
Miller made the announcement before the
supreme court of The United States that a
basis for arbitrating the Bcrlng sea DIM
Guilty had been reached, he was saying
what, of course, was at the time strictly
true. An agreement seemed to have been
arrived at as to the different questions to
be submitted to the arb rators The only
matter open for further consideration
was the manner in which the arbltrators
were to be selected and their number
This. il was confidently believed, would
present no serious difficulty. What Attor-
ney General Miller announced, however,
no longer nolds good. 1t will be remem-
bered that the agreement he spoke Of was
not official. In other words, 1t was not IN
the nature of a regular treaty. 1t was
simply a series of propositions agreed up
on by Secretary Blaine and Sir Julian
Paunceforte reduced to writing, which had
received the sanction on the one hand OF
President Harrison, and on the other OF
Lord Salisbury All this has now been
upset by demands on the part Of Lord Sal
isbury for further mod fication OF the
agreement reached in November Precise

HOUSE..

WASHINGTON, Jan. G-The house dis
Cussed at length the question OF referring
the senate Joint resolution authorizing the
secretary of the navy to transport contrI-
buttons for the relief of the suffering poor
OF Russia, and the petition to the effect
that the United States extend Its AID TO
the Russian sufferers. Mr.. Blount and
others favored the naval committee, while
Mr. Kilgore and others contended that the
committee on appropriations was the place
10 send the measure.
The motion to refer TO the committee on
appropriations was withdrawn and the
motion to refer to the naval committee
was defeated. The question then recurred
on the motion to proceed an immediate
consider tiOn OF the resolution. This was
agreed TO and the resolution was consid-
cred in committee Of the whole.
Mr.. Holman moved to strike out the ap-
propratiOn clause.
Mr.. Dockery of Missouri called atten-
tion to the tact that the report of the sec
retary OF the treasury showed that the
expenditures of the government were ex-
ceediug the revenues. The excess of ex-
penditures over the revenue for the first
half of the present fiscal year had been
s273, ,000 and an examination of the official
report disclosed (what the secretary had
not stated that more than $50, 600, 600 of
the appropriations made for the last fiscal
rear and 1Or the UrSC ndI1 OF the DreSe0 L
6scal year were unpaid. The present ad-
minis6ration had been coerced by the con-
lition OF the treasury to refund more than
I35, 900, 900 of the bonded Indebtedness of
the government due on the first of last
September The administration had been
constrained by the depleted condition of
she treasury to suspend the sinking fund
,or the present year, requiring $50 coo, 600
IF the revenues So that the Democrats,
whose seats had been gained on the issue
Df retrenchment and reform, must realize
that tnev were confronted by more than
kl40, ,000, 600 of existing and matured in
debiedness, for which there was for pay
ment today only available cash surplus
excluding subsidiary coinl of S20,0J0000.
After debate Mr.. HOlman's motion to
strike out the appropriation clause was
agreed to.
Mr. Breckenridge of Kentucky, remark
ing that it was perfectly clear that the
United States navy had no ships which
could be used and that the resolution WAS
now a useless one, moved to postpone its
consideration indefinitely.
This motion was agreed to, which was
equivalent TO the defeat of the measure.
