BLAINE Is VERY ILL.
Conflicting Stories of the Great
Statesman Condition.
The Family RetiCent, but Its Members
Say His Life Is III No Imne-
diate Danger.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25-Blaine's condi-
tion is again the subject of universal inter-
est to-day. made so by the publication Of
statements that his Illness had taken a turn
for the worse and that his life was in immi-
nent danger. If his physicians and the
members of the family are to be believed
such statements are misleading and not
warranted by the facts. AS nearly as can
be learned the attack from which Blaine is
now suffering IS similar TO and no more
dangerous than those which preceded ii.
He caught cold aud was imprudent IN his
diet Some congestion followed, and there
was fever in its train. The stomach was
made torpid, aud there was difficulty in di-
gestion
Notwithstanding all reports to the con-
traTy. ii can be said that Blaine has shown
no signs Of mental alteration or delirium.
There has been much difficulty encountered
In the effort to get reliable news rs to his
condition, and this has fosterrd the origin
and srread Of exaggerated stories as to his
condition.
Il Is learned that Blaine will soon be re-
moved to some point in the South, with the
hope that A warmer climate will have a
beneficial effect on his bronchial troubles.
which have been aggravated since the pres
ent cold spell set in.

GETTING ALARMED.
Pacific Mail Appeals to
the Courts.
SITUATION ON THE ISTHMUS.
The Panama Railroad Is Now Owned
and Practically Controlled by the
Government of France.
Special TO THE MORNING CALL

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-The Pacific Mail
Steamship Company, through its attorney,
Edward Lauterbach. applied to-day TO
Judge Truax in Supreme Court chambers
for an injunction restraining the Panama
Railroad Company from executing the con-
templated contract with the Chilean steam
ship line, now plying between Panama ana
Callao.
The contract in question would give GER
tain distinct advantages to the Chilean line
IN the event Of extending its service from
points below Panama to points above, as
lar north as Acapulco which the Pacific
Mail Company believes TO be in violation Of
its contract rights with the railroad COM
pany. A temporary injunction was granted
and made returnRble before the same court
on Tuesday.
This application. and the recent action of
the company in serving notice that on and
after February /, 1898, no through bills of
lading from the Atlantic TO the Pacific
would be accepted from the American rep
resenta tives Of the company, and that all
traffic arrangements now existing between
the railroad and the Pae iic Mail Steamship
Company would then be terminated. has
called attention 10 a subject of vast i'm
portance. and one that bids fair to become
the subject Of International complications.
The present condition Of the Panama
Railroad Company. as Set forth in the peli-
tion for writ of injunction, discloses a
peculiar condition OF affairs The rail-
road was built by American capital
lists, under ch arter from the
State Of New York and under the
the provisions of special treaty with the
United States of Colombia, and was for
long time operated under American man.
agement
Some years ago, however, a majority Of
the stock Of the road was acquired by the
Panama Canal Company, which has since
controlled its policy. When the great
crash of the Panama Canal Com
pany came, and that corporation
went into the hands Of a receiver the rail-
road was left as the most valuable, and, in
fact, almost the only asset. Under French
law Monchicourt, the receiver and judicial
liquidator. is an officer of the French
Government, so that the anomalous situa-
tlon is now presented Of an American cOrpor-
ton. created under r special treaty by
American enterprise and capital for the
benefit Of American trade, being practi-
cally owned and operated by a foreign
Government IL the French receiver should
take such action As would give the control
of the coastwise trade on both the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans to a foreign steam ship
line it Is claimed 'hat ii would drive the
Pacific Mail from tile seas.

New YORK, Nov 25.-The Congressional
subcommittee appointed to investigate the
Reading coal combine met in the Fed
eral building this morning. Congressman
CoOmbs Of Brooklyn occupied the chair.
Archibald Mcleod was called and testified

tiOns was Ss.O0O,OO0 and the total acreage
controlled 1887 acres. The price paid

price 10 tidewajer. The prices were fixed by
the general sales agents OF the various compa-
nies interested. They generally held meet
ings in June or July for the purpose of Gd-
yancing prices. He admitted the prices
were now higher than at this time last year.
III the companies had demanded the former
price the producers would have become
bankrupt. lie said that the roads contTOll-
ing the trade in anthracite c0al got together
monthly and decided how much to mine and
at what price the product should be put on

PANAMA STEA1ERS.
The Panama Railroad Company VIII
Have Its Own Line.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-The Wall-street
Journal says: General Newton, president
of the Panama Railroad, says It is now
settled fact that his company will have
steamboat service in operation by February
10 replace the Pacific Mail lines.
The Pacific Mail has not sold any
Of Its authorized issue Of 5000
600 bonds, but has to date used It's net
earnings to pay for the four new ships
built The net earnings are not up
10 last year owing TO the action Of the CO.
umbian Government In Qusrantining the
company's steamers on account of cholera
in New York.
Regarding the report that the Panama
Railway Company had served notice that
on and after February /, 1885, no through
bills Of lading from the Atlantic TO the Pa
cifc from the American representatives Of
the company would be accepted and that
certain existing traffic Arrangements would
be terminated, Mr.. Houston, secretary
Of the Pacific Mail, said to-day: "Ths
Is the work OF French schemers and
sneculators, and aims at the ruin of our
Pacific trade. TIE intention is TO put
all the through freight into the hands
of the new foreign steamship line on the
Pacific Ocean. i cannot tell you what the
name OF the company Will be. but we have
been looking forward TO this step on the
part Of the French shareholders of the
Panama Railroad for many months. The
board Of directors of the railroad In this
city claim that we have no regular written
contracts with other lines from European
points TO Aspinwali"
In support of this statement he showed
letter from Oppenheim, secretary Of the
Panama Railroad Company, which denied
the existence of contract TO carry through
freight over the isthmus. between The Ham,

instructed the English delegates to the
DIusseis conference 10 expedite the deliber-
a'iohs oI that body so as to bring the con-
ference 10 an end within a few weeks. II
Is learned from high authority that if the
conference IS prolonged beyond three weeks
ue reading English representatives would
return TO London, leaving the less i'm
pofIant members 10 watch the proceedings.
Advces from Brussels show that the
opposition to prolonged debates originated
win ihe English delegation, and that they
only hnally consented to sitting on each
alternate day on finding that they stood
alone. This incident has created tie i'm
preston among the members Of the con-
ference and the Brussels officials that the
bIitish delegates want to break up the
meeting or to cause it to fail TO achieve
definite results. They received decided
check, however, as the majority of the Cele-
gates eyince every disposition to go thor
oughly INTO the matter until it is examined

YANDERBILT'S LOSS.
His Summer Residence at Newport
DESTROYED hv Fire

destroyed Dy FIRE.
NEWPORT. Il. l.. Nov. 25-The elegant
and costly summer residence of Cornelius
Vanderbilt, known as The Breakers" was
totally destroyed by fire this afternoon,
together with all the valuable contents Of
the villa.
The fire was discovered by Mr.. Vanderbilt
himself at about 4:30 o'clock, and tele-
phone message was sent for tie Fire De-
partment; but tbe flames had made great
headway, and before the apparatus reached
the scene. which was nearly two miles from
the station, the fire was beyond control.
Even when the fremen arrived they were
handicapped by the insufficient number Of
hydrant5.
Vanderbilt himself stated that nothing
could have been done to save the property.
as the whole building, save tie servants
quarters, was roaring furnace when the
hremen arrived. A portion of the furniture
was saved, but it was Insignificant in guam
ttty or valre when compared with that
which was lost. All the rich tapestries rare
paintings. valuable bric-a-brac. elegant de-
corations and furnishings. wearing apparel
and rare and costly articles of every descrip-
tion were destroyed.
The character of the furniture and dec
oratioRs may be judged from the fact that
in single hall were hung tapestries esti-
mated to be worth 5000 or more
Mr.. Vanderbilt and his family found teal
porary refuge in the gardeners cottage en-
the premises.
The owner could give no accurate estimate
OF his loss. which he stated was largely COW
cred by insurance. The silver. jewelry and
other valuables OF like nature had been
placed In safes by the servants, and lie
thought these were probably all right. A
rough estimate places the loss at $500 OOO
