BETTER EVERY DAY.
Mr.. Blaine Gaining in Strength All the
Time.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24-Blaine rested
comfortably last night and is better this
morning The patient is now getting along
so comfortably that his physician, DIR.
johnson, thinks there is no longer any
occasion for himself and Dr. Hyatt to make
early morning visits. The members of the
family are out to-day doing Christmas
shopping.
Blaine Is getting along very well indeed. -
said DIR. Johnson Al O'Clock this evening
The physicians regard the condition of their
patient as better than 1t has been at any
time for the past fortnight. The mainte-
nance of his strength is one of the most
encouraging features and gives the men,
bers OF the family ground for renewed
hope. So much improved is he that few
callers were received at the house to-day.
The Washli gton papers have ceased to
publish extended reports of Blane's con-
dition.
Blaine was reported by DR.. Johnston to-
night to have passed the best day he has had
for some time past. DR.. Johnston paid the
usual 2 o'clock visit. and finding Blane's
condition so satisfactory, he did not make
mis- last visit for the day until 10 o'clock
this evening, when he found no particular
change in the patients condition.
AT a late hour tonight the lights Of the
second floor were dimly burning. and 1t
was evident that the family had retired
early.

stltute the immense majority of our repub-
lie, live for Is the practice Of the useful
arts and the pursuits Of commerce, the re-
ining of metals, the raising Of crops and
the whole of those multifarious occupations
which are comprised under the head of
business. In the neighboripg Mexican
States Of SinalOa, Jslisco, Guerrero and
MlehoRcan you will hear nothing of this
revolutionary talk still less In the southern
States OF the Mexican Republic. Tie army
Is loyal. The best proof that the Gov
ernment thinks little Of the uprising on the
border in that It has not called out the army
to Qnell it. The most that has been done
has been to call on the United States as
friendly power to deny shelter and com fort
to bandits and murderers.
Most of the men concerned In this out.
break are halfbreeds and turbulent citizens,
the product of the union and affiliation of
the worst elements in the republics of
Mexico and the United States. The area of
their action Is limited to a small mountainous
section, OF which the extreme length is
few hundred miles and the breadth little or
nothing They would have been dealt
with long ere this IL they could have been
got at without putting the country to an ex-
pense out of all proportion to the magnitude
Of the outbreak.

DRASTIC MEASURES
American Railro.. Eds to Be
Protected.
A BIT OF CANADIAN CUNNING.
How the System of Consular Seals Has
Been Used to Divert the Tea
Trade TO the North.
Special to THE MORNING CALI

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-The President
has called upon the executive departments
for all information in their possession rela-
tive to the freight coming into the United
States over the Canadian Pacific Railroad.
The unjust discrimination against the
United States railroads made by the law, or
rather by its construction. in favor OF the
Canadian Pacific by means of the consular
seal system has long been source of COM
plant at the Treasury Department. By
this Interpretation OF the law freight is
shipped from Canada to interior points In
the United States under the consular seal
system. A United States Consul certiiies
that the manifest is correct, and that lie
has sealed and closed the car, and that Ger
tifcaton carries the freight through with
out inspection, thus saving from one TO
two days delay aud the cost of rehandling
freights. When this law was passed this
class Of traffic was small. but gradually
the business has grown until Instead of
handling only Canadian goods in this way
the law has been perverted. and now more
goods having their origin in China and Ja-
pan are shipped over the Canadian Pacific
through the United States than goods made
in Canada. Furthermore, the Canadian Pa
cific has managed TO have duty of 10 per cen (
placed upon coffee or tea coming from tie
United States into Canada. while the same
articles come from other countries free
The effect of this has been to divert this
traffic from American ports. and 10 have
the coffee and tea come East over the Cana
dian Pacific from Vancouver, B. C.
These evidences of unfriendliness are re-
garded at the State Department as requiring
some drastic measures, and it is therefore
proposed to suspend the operation of said
section until Congress shall make proper
provision 10 stop the discrimination against
American railroads

PROOF OF CONSPIRACY.
Andrieux Says That He Has a Clear
Conscience.

PARIS, Dec. 24.-The statement that the
Ministry has evidence that the present
attack on the Government is part OF an
organized plan for the overthrow of the
republic Is fully confirmed. Matters have
reached that state when the Government is
prepared to arrest certain conspirators.
Andrieux is regarded as the manager Of
the plot, and the first blow will be struck at
him. When warned that he would be ar
rested Andrieux said: 81 have nothing to
fear. If / am arrested 1t will be to save

MR.. CRISP'S FUTURE.
Don NJ. Dickinson Did What He
Set Out TO Do.
The Speaker Will Go to New York
for a Conference With the Head
of His Party.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24-It Is announced
that as a result of Don NJ. Dckinson's S
visit here Speaker Crisp is going to New
ork next week TO meet an appointment
with President Cleveland. Dickinson, while
in this city recently. had long conference
with Speaker Crisp, and The supposI:ion is
that the Michigan politician came here as
an envoy OF President Cleveland. A popular
theory Is that Mr.. Cleveland will make
Crisp Cabinet officer in order that more
radical tariff reformer may be elected
speaker. As matters stand at present there
seems TO be no doubt Of Crisp's reelection
The anti-Crisp men say that the Speaker
is adroity trying to make himself "solid"
with the incoming Administration. so that
there viii be no doubt CT him succeeding
himself in the Speakers chair, and that all
overtures have emanated from Crisp him
self. The theory that Cleveland wanted TO
get Crisp out Of the House Of Representa-
tives is, however, the most popular.
Acquaintances OF Mr.. Crisp say thew
would not be SURPRISED If his course this
winter would show q modification of his
views on the silver Question. Heretofore he
has been an earnest advocate Of free silver.
but it would not be surprising If before long
he would place himself on record in favor
Of the suspension Of tho present silver pur-
chases Of the Government, or OF reducing
them from 81. 200, 000 per month to g. .0O0, GEO.
Speaker Crisp fAvors an extra session Of
Congress, and it is believed that this matter
will bs discussed at New York by Mr.
Cleveland and himself.

Federal Election Officers Will Shortly
Get Their Paw.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 24-Nathaniel Hol-
land, Supe ryisor of Elections, has written
from California concerning the money due
to Deputy Supervisors Of Elections for the
Second. Third, Fourth and Fifth districts
OF California. The supervisors were anxious
to be paid by Christmas. Letters received
here have intimated that certain brokers In
California were anxious that the money
should be withheld. in order that they
might discount the claims at 20 per cent
Each one OF the supervisors performed four
or five days work during the registration
and election, ana the aggregate cost to the
Government for the Northern District of
California alone will probably reach $50, 900
or $4,000, each Deputy Supervisor receiv-
ing in the eigbboThood of SIS for his
work. 1t will thus be seen that there are
quite number waiting fer Christmas
money.

Aid Wanted for Sufferers From
Famine in Russia

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-The national re-
lief committee of the United States has pre-
pared a statement showing what the people
OF this country have done for the Russian
famine sufferers. The statement points out
In detail what the different sections of the
country, beginning with the Northwest,
have contributed. The efforts of in
dividuals. commercial bodies and rail-
road and steamship companies are
mentioned, and high praise is accorded
Clara Barton for her work in arousing the
general public. and especially the State
officials and the people of Iowa TO activity,
which resulted in sending to Russia a ship
freighted with stores from the corn-pro.
dueing States. The money sent directly to
Russia was $1,000 and over by Iowa, $1,000
by Russian settlers in Nebraska, SS4S1 by
the South Dakota commission and several
large amounts by Eastern people.

lutely without foundation. Apart from nv
position have personal interest. ! have
relatives at Guadalajlra and other Mexican
Cities. IL there was any serious trouble in
prospect should have heard OF il long ere
this.
The facts are briefly these: Ever since
the Cara outbreak the outlaws, bandits
and refugees from justice of both countries
have been making trouble along the Rio
Grande from Paso del Norte to Nueyo La
redo. II is a mountainous section and this
gives comparative impunlty to the actions
OF small band which would otherwise be
speedily attacked and dispersed. The situ-
alton In the district iS in one respect similar
to that which existed in Spain after the
armies of Napoleon had broken up the reg
ular Spanish army. They could not oper-
ate against the banditti, or irregular organ
iZatons of the mountains.
''But the trouble along the frontier by no
means rises TO the dignity Of an insurrec-
ton. much less revolution. You can call
1t an uprising, if you like, but it Is only an
uprising OF men who are opposed to any
form OF government that forbids rapne and
murder. The men who are creating the
trouble on the south side Of the Rio Grande
are bandits, pure and simple. They are
outlaws; there is no pretense that they are
patriots.
'As to the story that brilliant officer OF
the Mexican army had espoused their cause,
have only to say that the rumor has been
spread for stock exchange purposes. The
officer in question is an erratic genius, liable
to be absent from headquarters for time,
but there is no suspicion of disloyalty in the
matter. He is fond Of the pleasures of life,
but is not by any means OF the stuff traitors
are made of.
you might just as well call the Home.
stead affair revolution as speak of the
Mexican border trouble in that light. There
is not respectable man in the whole organ
ization OF banditti along the south of the
Rio Grande. As for supposing that tho rev.
olutionary spirit is stirring in Mexico,
would only say thatIthe people are well con.
tent with the administration of Presiden,
Diaz. OF course there are lawless
spirits In al the Mexican States
who are against the Government on prin.
ciple. You have such in your own country
In every State in the Union. but they are a
very small minority. Me they not? What
! the respectable Mexican citizens, who con.
