tho adjournment of the meeting. The
cabinet assembled at 1880 and began
"A discussion of the Chilian situa-
ton. Secretary Blaine taking part
in it. After the session had
lasted about twenty minutes Mr..
Blaine suddenly said he felt i'll and
would be compelled to retire. He com
planned of nauseuting feeling. Sccre-
tary Ell1ins offered to go with him, but
his protfer of assistance was refused by
Mr.. Blaine, who rose from his chair.
AS he stood upon his feet the secretary
grew deathly pale and tottered for
ward. Mr.. Eliins graspcd his arm and
assisted him out of the room and down
the stairs to the lobby of the mansion,
where Mr.. blaine seemed to regain his
se.f-possession. \ messenger was sent
for Mr.. Bainc's carriage, but
before it arrived Mr., Wanamaker's
vehicle WAS called into service.
As Mr.. Blaine entered the car
riage, assisted by Mr.. Ellsins, he
doubled up like very sick man. Think
ing that the air would revive his col
league, Secretary Elkins directed the
driver to drive four or five blocks be-
fore going to the Blaine residence, adj
iacent TO the White House. The cool,
damp air seemed to revive Mr.. Blaine,
aud he looked stronger, though show
ing n deathly pallor, when he reached
his home
a gentleman who saw Mr. Blaine
placed in Mr. Wannmaller's carriage
says he seemed to be suffering from an
attack of vertigo. Mr.. EllSins says.
however, that the attack was simply
dyspcptic.
