ON THE VERGE.
Mr.. Blaine Seized With Sinking
Spell Sunday,
AHd for Half Near tho Fhyaieians

tho Attack at Nightfall, and May
Linger fer a Few Days Longer.

WAsHINeToN, Dec. 19.--Never since
the stormy days Of the war has the
peace and quietude of the Sabbath day
in this beautiful capital been so broken
and the people SO severely shocked as
Sunday evening at a late hour, when
the report of the death Of Mr.. Blaine
was circulated with almost lightning
rapidity about the city. The report was
false, but founded upon circumstances
that appeared to warrant it, and al-
though it was not unexpected, it came
like thunderbolt upon the citizens,
among whom tho ex-premier has long
ived ana mingled.
Mr.. Blaine had sinking spell Sum
day morning, and came out of it mar
rowly. During the day he has been
but little better, and it would hardly
be possible for him to survive another
sinking spell. James G. Blaine, jr.,
said his father had rallied little in the
afternoon, and that it was the opinion
of the physicians that he would livo
through tho night. STILL" he added,
''it must be said that he is very dan
gerously i'll"
All day representatives of the press
patroaled Madison place and carefully
watched the old red mansion which
has become celebrated for its historical
associations and the fatality with
which misfortune has followed it's occu-
pants. From the Sickles-Key tragedy,
which occurred more than third Of .
century ago, followed by the attempted
assassination of Secretary Seward dur
ing the last year of the civil war, down
to the present time, tho pail Of ill-fate
has hung over the mansion. During
the less than four years occupancy
of this house by the Blaine family, his
daughter, the wife of Col Coppinger,
Walker Blaine and Eynmoas Blaine, the
secretary's promising sons, have died.
A little after o'clock both doctors
left. DIR. Hyatt said that Mr.. Btaine's
condition showed slight improvement
over the morning. They did 1st con-
slider IT necessary to issac a2otksr bulle-
tan similar to ths one Of Saturday night.
DIR. Hyatt said that he thought there
was ne doubt that Mr.. Blaine would
time he is undoubtedly critically i'll,
and any complications that may arise
would doubtless cause fatal termina-
tion to his illness A little after 6:3e
o'clock Mr. James G. Blaine, Jr., came
cut and said to the reporter:
I'VE think that father is considerably
better than he was this morning.
He was dangerously i'll during the fore
noon. During the afternoon, hswever,
he seems to have rallied somewhat
The physicians havs been here this
evening, and we NOW think that ha win

PARIS, Dee. 10--Thc determination of
the government to clear away all tho
mystery surrounding the affairs of the
Panama Canal Co. is Undoubtedly
founded on the belief that on this
course alone lies safety for itself and
for the country. Any display Of hesi-
fancy would now result in ruia, and as
their official lives depend on probing
the affair to the bottom, there can be
no doubt that in time the whole mass
of corruption will DO cleared away.
Saturday, acting under orders from the
government, the police searched the
house of N. Laur, Boulangist member
Of the chamber OF deputies, and siezed

the Panama affair.
