The Attending Physician Says the
Condition of His Patient is Serious.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-Although no
worse, eX-Secretary Blaine was not as
well this morning as he hoped he would
be. He was reported to be somewhat
better this evening. Blaine is very sick,
and his condition causes the family much
anxiety. 1t viii probably be some time
before he regains his usual health.
New YORK, Nov. PA Washington
special to morning paper says Blaine
is much worse tonight. The attending
physician has just LETT the house and says
the condition OF his patient is serious
Several times during the day Blaine sank
into an unconscious state, from which he
had to be reused. At times he was unable
to recognize the anxious watchers about
the bedside. Blaine rallied somewhat
yesterday, and the family thought he
would be able to be out in few days.
Instead Of a further Improvement how
ever, he was found to be much worse
to-day.
The attending physician made three
visits to the Blaine mansion to-day. Just
what the disease is which has attacked
Blaine no one seems to be able to say.

there Is no new developments In the ease.
My intimation is such, however, that it
cannot be doubted / am told that the
disease has so Jar progressed as to effect
Blaine's BRAIN, and at times he is de-
lirious. There is evidently a desire on
the part Of the family to keep the facts
from the public. That they have been
alarmed to-day is certain, and his condi-
tion serious is true, Notwithstanding the
denials by the family and the refusal of
the physician to talk and the general air

Ends Her Lie.

SAN FRANCIsCO, Nov. 24.-Mrs. Au-
gusta Ziese, a German lady, 80 years of
age, committed suicide in her room ut the
New Atlantic Hotel some time during
last night by means Of coal gas.
She came there about week ago and
stated she was on the road to her son and
daughter, who are reported to be weI-to-
doiin Everett, Wash. Yesterday she in
formed the proprietor that her money
had given out and that she would be un-
able to pay her rent. He told her not TO
worry about it and also said to her that
she could have the necessary passage
money, and when she got TO her son and
daughter to repay him.
The old lady appeared to be very much
worried, even after the proprietor told
her to rest easy regarding the payment Of
her room rent.
This morning smell of gas was noticed
throughout the house, and it was finally
traced to the room occupied by Mrs.
ZieSe. The door was burst open and the
old lady was found lying on the bed dead.
Before taking her life every small aper-
ture IN the room was plugged so as to
prevent the escape of gas.
The thought of being without friends
IN strange city and penuiless preyed
upon her mind 50 heavy that in an in
sane moment She decided upon ending
her existence.
Her son and daughter have been tele-
graphed as TO the disposition OF the body

ROME, Nov 2l-Au important letter
from the Vatican, dealing with American
matters, has been dispatched to Mon
signor Satolli. His holiness keenly de-
sires that all disputes in the church in
America shall cease, and that Satolli's
mission in regard to this question may
succeed. The German and Austrian EN-
basssdors made a strong representation to
Cardinal Pampolla, Papal Secretary Of
state, on the language of the Vatican jour
mails when commenting on the Chicago
fetes. They dilated on the democratic
policy Of the Pope. The ambassadors
complained that the church papers were
too strongly tavoring republican ideas,
and said there was danger that their ad
vocacy Of these ideas would tend to foster
in Europe a democratic propaganda. De-
spite these representations to the Vatican,
these papers devoted to the election Of
Cleveland articles highly sympathetic
with the / nited States.
Further communications have been re-
ceiVeu at the Vatican from the German
and Austrian Governments aiming At OBJ
tanning the influence OF the holy See in
iulCrpOsing between France ana Russia.
II is rumOfed that the Pope will bo called
upon 10 decide upon the question OF dis
armamenta q rcapprOachmenr between
rance and Germany. It Is said England
VIII play an important role as mediator,
with a view to bringing about the isla-
ton of Russia. Grand Duke Sergius has
arrived i'll Rome to see the Pope and try
to induce him to support a combination
in the interests of Russia and Pan
olaVism.

Concerning the Treatment of Cholera
Patients at Swinburne Island.
NEW YORK, Nov. 24-Some startling
revelations concerning the treatment of
cholera patients on Swinburne Island dur
ing the recent epidemic have been made
by Miss Adelaide Merres, professional
nurse. She claims that some OF the
nurses and attendants, both male and
female, were drunk half the time: that
they gambled at night and neglected the
patients, that convalescents We're made to
wear clothes of victims of cholera who
were cronated, and many patients did
net get clothes and food sent them by
friends. These allegations and many
more Miss Merres makes as incidental
to suit which she has began
against Health Officer William Jenkins to
recover $50 which she claims he owes her
for one months services. She says none
Of the nurses were paid for the last week
or two they worked on Swinburne Island

CAPHIVPs SPEECH.
Received Rather CoIdly by the Audi

ence Present.
LONDON, Nov. 2L-The Times Berlin
correspondent, commenting on Caprivi's
speech, says the audience was cold and
impassive. There were few cheers, ex-
copt at the close, and they were rendered
rather as personal tribute than an in
dorsement Of the speech. Considering
the occasion the attendance was surpris-
ingly small. The public galleries were
by no means full, while scarcely more
than half Of the Deputies benches were
occupied. one could not help being i'm
pressed that the Diet, if not actually hos
tile, was skeptical and suspicious, and
the Government viii have a hard task to
overcome the manifold preiudices. 1t
looks as though the fall OF the bill viii be
decided less inside the House than by the
pressure of public opinion outside. II is
not TOO mncn to say, that since Germany
became an empire, has d session been
antici ated with sucn intense interest as
the present one. The democratic leaven,
which Bismarck so light-heartedly intro
duced, has begun actually TO work since
he disappeared, and public opinion. sur
rendered 50 many ears into his hands,
now ventures to live ana move No
body can venture TO prOphecyi the fate
OF the military measures. 1t is
the general belief, however, especially in
military circles, unpopular though the
bills are, the country would prefer to ac-
cept them rather than precipitate such a
crisis as would result from the defeat of
the Government.

Testimony Taken by the Senatorial

Investigating Committee.
PITTsBURG, Nov. 24.-The Senatorial
committee investigating the Pinkerton
system continued its session to-day.
Among the witnesses was William
Wiehe, ex-President Of the Amalgamated
Association, who stated it as his belief
that the condition of the steel market
warranted the Carnegie Company in pay
ing the rate of wages demanded by the
workmen at Homestead. The Amalga-
mated Association. he declared, was
always in favor of arbitration and con-
citation. The strikers would not have
fired upon United States troops or militia
as they did upon the PinkertOns. If the
Carnegie Company had continued the
conferences with the Amalgamated Asso-
citation, instead Of issuing the uItimatunI,
a settlement could nave been reached by
July lst.

John A. Porter, superintendent of the
Homestead mill when the trouble began,
said Colonel GRAY took charge OF the
Pinkerton men at the Davis Island dam
as a representative OF the Sheriff. He
thought Gray did not swear them in as
deputies in his presence. Witness
thought all the means exhausted before

BRUSSELS, Nov. pa statement has

true that proposals have been definitely
formulated by the American delegates
and that they will be laid before the con-
ference tomorrow. There was some de-
lay in arranging Proposal 6, but this was
due to the fact that the American dele

CAUSE OF THE RISE IN SILVER.
LoNDoN, Nov. 24.-The sudden rise in
the price of silver yesterday was due to
the operations of group Of Spectators.
Forty laos OF rupees IN drafts on India
were offered for sale by the India Coun-
eli and the extraordinary amount of 6lS
lacs were rendered for. one tender of 1870
lacs at the highest price absorbed the
drafts. The Indian banks and merchants
had to go to the silver market to buy
enough silver to meet the requirements.
The price of the metal was thus driven up
siX-siXteenths pence. Various motil es
are attributed to the operators. One of
the reasons given for their action is due
to a trick Of American silver men, who
desired To boom silver with the view Of
influencing the action Of the Brussels
Conference. he dealers doubt the rise
