Irying's WolseIy.

LONDON, Jan. 7.-All the newspapers
join in prising Henry Irving's personifi-
cation of the character of Cardinal
Wolsely in Henry VIII" as produced
at the Lyceum theater. as one of the
best pieces of acting seen recently on
the English stage.
The Times, for instance. commenting
on the performance referred to, thinks
that Irving's personation of the car
dinal is finer than Kean's and more
subtle and more ascetic than that OF
Phelps, adding: ''In his fall, Wolsely
is the most pathetic figure Irving ever
portrayed"

tended that each member represen-
ted a constituency-tha he was sup
posed to vote their wishes, and
they should have the privilege of
knowing whether they represented
them or misrepresented them. Fully
an hour wass pent in debateon this
question. The vote stood AZ in favor
of the viva voce vote to IA for secret
ballot. 1t was thus evident that some
Sherman men wanted IL secret ballot
and some excitement followed the vote.
Senator Nichols presented the name
of Senator Sherman in an eloquent
speech, dwelling upon his record as Il
fnancier. Representative Griffin pre-
sentcd the name of eX-Gov, Foraker,
expatiating upon his soldier record.
Numerous seconding speeches to both
these nominations were made.
Representative Welsh, in what must
have been his maiden speech. presented
Maj. McKinley's name, but it was soon
afterward withdrawn by telegram
from Maj, Mckinley. This did not de-
ter Welsh, however, from voting for
his candidate.
Representative Dicks presented the
name of Charles Foster
AS the ballot proceeded, there was
no demonstration except that when
Porter, of Cleveland, doubtful man,
voted for Foraker, the Foraker men
shouted, and when Pudney, of Cleve-
land, another doubtful man, voted for
Sherman, the Sher nan men raised
whoop. The first ballot resulted:
Sherman, 53; Foraker, 3s: Foster, 1;
Mckinley l. Necessary to choice Al.
After the vote was announced, both
Sherman and Foraker were brought to
the hall. Senator Sherman spoke first.
and after thanking the members of the
caucus, complimented Mr. Foraker
upon his fight, saying it was the hard
est fight he had ever entered, and he
hoped he would never have him for an
opponent again.
Ex-Gov. Foraker spoke in good-na-
tured way, saying he did not foresee
when he entered the fight that when
man begins to fight John Sherman he
has to fight the whole United States.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 7.-Great excite
ment was caused in the department of
state by report that Secretary Blaine
had been taken suddenly i'll while at
work in his Office. The report proved
to be true, but every precaution was
taken to prevent the fact becoming
public. Surgeon-General Brown of the
navy, whose Office is in the same build
ing, was summoned and 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 daugh
ter, Miss Hattie, was informed of his
condition, and was soon at his side.
The alarm was great at first, but sub
sided about noon, when the secretary
was reported rs resting easily, and as
being entirely out of danger. The ma
ture of his illness is not known at
present, but is said to be due altogether
