very ill. Mrs. Blaine took the dispatch
and read it. She came into the room where
Mr.. Blaine was being shaved. Her face
was white and her hand shook as she held
out. the yellow paper to the ex-secretary,
''Emmons is ill. They have sent for
u.s. Here is the dispatch"
Mr.. Blaine did not speak, but he took

every half hour till the last one, which
brought the sad news that EmmOns was
dead.
Mrs. Blaine bore the shock with much

Blaine came down to the steamer Selhow
at $50 o'clock. They were met by young
Chandler Hale. son of Senator Hale, with
whom Mr.. Blaine had expected to go. to
Ellsworth today to visit Senator and Mrs.
Hale. The party went directly into the
pilot house, as the boat has no private
cabin. Mrs. Blaine who had kept up very
we'll during the trying hours since the first
dispatch came, gave way TO her grleI as
soon as she was seated and Mr.. Blaine be-
her griefstricken parents of the necessary
arrangements for travelling, and conveyed
messages from time to time to Mr. Hale.
who remained on the deck. MIR. Hale
was much overcome, and his eyes hlIed
every time he spoke to Miss Blaine. He
telephoned from the ferry for his father
to meet them. The trip from Bar Harbor
was slow and monotonous. as the summer
arrangements have not been commenced.
The death of young Blaine occurred IN
Chicago at Ills o'clock a. m. Blood
poisoning the result of inflammation or
the bowels, was the cause The TACT or
Mr. Blaine's death was kept concealed Tor
some time after he had passed away, the
object being to reach the father first with
some general intimatiOn of the sad news
Efforts to get telegraphic communication
with the ex-secretary failed. however, anu
about 1915 o'clock the news of the death
leaked out 1t was not until about n
quarter of an hour prior to the fatal mo-
ment that the least intimation that Blame
was in Il dangerous condition became
known. and then it was only to few. At
his office. in the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road headquarters, in Chicago, Blaine's as
sOciates were only aware that he was i'll,
and had been so for several days.
Young Blaine was notable in the exciting
convention scenes at Minneapolis. He
took the result greatly to heart. and was
confined to his room shortly after his re-
turn from the north.
He Was in Perfect Health.
During the convention he seemed in per-
feet health, and no one who heard of his
sudden passing away was NOR" shocked
than those who saw him participating in
the caucuses, early and late. night and
day. in his fathers interest. 1t is thought
possible by many that the strain of eS
element ut Minneapolis. followed by keen
disappointment of the outcome had not Il
little to do with the physical prostration
ensuing.

Cincinnati, June 15-(Special)-The
anti-Cleyeland men had all the best of it in

Indeed, had it not been for the fact that
Senator Brice took him under his protec-

the result of the convention He wanted
