Especial to the Press.1

WASHINGTON, January 10. - Captain
Boutelle was taking lunch in the Senate
restaurant today when Senator Gray, of
Delaware, came into the room and said:
'sHave you heard about Mr.. Blaine?''
''No," said Mr.. Bontelle, ''what is it?''
''NIr. Blaine had an attack of vertigo at
the Cabinet meeting and would have
fallen to the floor had not Secretary
Elkins come to his assistance said Mr.
Gray.
The rumor at once spread through the
Capitol that Mr.. Blaine was in critical
condition and had been removed to his
house in a semi-concious state. While
Senators and members were rushing
about in state of great excitement
trying to get at the facts, there was
another rumor in circulation. 1t was to
the effect that there had been serious
disagreement between the President and
Secretary Blaine regarding the Chilian
negotiations and that Mr.. Blaine, finding
that he was in hopeless minority, had
retired from the cabinet room in anger.
1t was impossible to ascertain the facts
at the Capitol and the matter was the
sole topic of conversation to the eXclu-
sion of everything else.
Inquiry, however, showed that the
first rumor was grossly exaggerated and
the second one totally untrue. After Mr.
Blaine had concluded making a State
ment at the cabinet meeting about a
matter which has no connection with the
Chilian difficulty, he informed the Presi-
dent that he was not feeling well and
would have to leave Mr.. Blaine quietly
walked out of the room accompanied by
Secretary of War Elkins, and entering
his carriage was at once driven to his
house. The fresh air revived him and
he quickly recovered after his arrival.
Dr. Hyatt, Mr.. Blaine's physician, was
at once sent for but, on his arrival, found
that Mr.. Blaine was in no need of his
services. He told Mr. Blaine that his
stomach was out of order and that re-
curence of these attacks might be ex-
pected so long as he continued to attend
elaborate dinners and ate late suppers.
During the last week, Mr.. Blaine has
been dining out nearly every night. DR..
Hyatt said tonight to the PRESS cores
pondent there was nothing the matter
with Mr.. Blaine, but he had not re-
covered from his late attack of indiges-
ton, and he had not been sufficiently
careful in his diet. The doctor is certain
that Mr.. Blaine is in good condition and
that if he will only pay more attention to
his diet and not go out so much at night
for the next few weeks he will be all
right again. 1t is fully expected that
Mr. Blaine will be at the department
as usual tomorrow.

MADE A BIG BLAZE.
Jordan,s Cooperage Shop at the Foot of
Wi1,not Street Burned.

Mr.. A. e. Barbour, young man living
at the corner of Wilmot and Lincoln
streets, at quarter to one this morning,
looked from his window and saw the
lioht of a fire at the foot of the street.
AS a result, the department was sum-
summoned by an alarm frem box "a, to
put out a blaze in the cooperage shop
owned bv MI. Granville Jordan, and sit
mated on the left hand side of Wilmot
street, opposite the granite yard of
Hawkes. Brothers. Flames were burst
inc through the roof and shooting high
in the air from the big chimney, the
fresh breeze carrying the sparks towards
the lumber yards near by. The situa-
ton warranted a second alarm, and it
was promptly pulled.
The fire was mostly in the upper of
the two stories in the building and was
extinguished after pretty thoroughly
cutting the structure. The building was
not occupied, except for storage, MI. e.
I. Burrows, the screen manufacturer
having it was stated, small amount of
stock there. In the stable adjoining,
Mr.. Jordan kept three horses and cow
which were removed to safer quarters.
The fire apparently originated in the
second story near the center of the
building. Its origin could not be deter
mined last night So far as known,
there had been no fire in the building
this winter but the windows were
broken and some persons may have
had access to it.
A man who declined to give his name
said the premises had been the resort of
boys, and that over year ago he discov-
cred and extinguished a small fire there.
The loss will not be heavy
The building is surrounded by railroad
tracks, as several of the fremen who
stumbled on them and took tumbles in
the snow can testify. The hose truck of
engine two was overturned while going
rapidly into Wilmot street. The driver
and two firemen were thrown out but
were not hurt and no harm was done.

ST. PETERSBURG, January 19.-Search
for the remains of the persons who met
death by the breaking of the bridge at
Tiflis on the occasion of the blessing OF
the waters of the river, has been unre-
mittingly continued since the accident

had been taken from the water. Many
more bodies are lying at the bottom of
the river.
The male inhabitants of Chelabinsk are
leaving by the hundreds to avoid seeing
their families starve to death. Unburied
carcasses of horses and cattle lie in every
direction with human bodies. The only
food left is dry mixed herbs. Hardly
anyone had partalsen of food for three
days before the visit of traveller.

YOUNG BROWNS DEFENCE.
The Case of the Maine Boy Charged With
Murder in Massachusetts.

AMEsBURY, Mass, January 19.-The
Sanborn murder case is the all obsorb-
ing topic of conversation here. Hon. H.
G. Johnson, young Browns counsel,
feels confident that his client will be able
to prove an alibi to the entire satisfac-
ton of the court.
In regard to the reports that Brown
lived in this town when boy and that
Mr. Sanborn had been instrumental in
sending him to the reformatory, no sub
stantia1 proof can be found. There has
been a number of Brown families living
here at times, but no one can be found
who remembers boy by the name of
Brown lived with his parents at Aliens

investigated, and while there was fam
lily living here by that name, none of the
boys was named Guy Roswell Brown.

that all articles of wearing apparel in
tended for sale in any locality other than

DANGERS OF THE SEA.
1t Was the Bark Nor Lost With all Hands

LONDON, January 10. = The vessel
wrecked in Papa Sound, Shetland
Islands, January 3, the crew of which,
it is feared, were lost, has been identified
as the bark Nor, from Laurvig. Steamer
Paula, from New York, steamer Valesia,
from New Orleans and number of other
vessels are detained by ice in the river
Elbe. The bark Glen Alton, arrived to-

TO LIMIT DEBATE.
Democrats Feel Obliged to Have Some
Rule for that Purpose.

democrats reel ODIigeu 10 aaVe some
Rule for that Purpose.
WASHINGTON, January 19-A majority
of the members Of the rules committee
hope to have code of rules ready for
report to the full committee tomorrow.
There will be only few changes made
from the 5Oth Congress. The modified
Holman rules of the 4Sth Congress,
under which legislation was permitted
on appropriation bills when germaine
and in the line of retrenchment in eX-
penditures, will be readopted. A rule
will be added limiting to one hour the
call of states Monday for the introduce
ton of bills, the object being to prevent
filibustering on suspension days by vast
inc time in introducing and reading long
bills. It is likely rule will be framed
to prevent prolonged filibustering by
enabling the House to bring to vote any
measure on which it desires to close de-
bate This rule will probably give the
rules committee authority to bring in a
special order fixing the time at which
debate on any specific measure shall
cease.

THE NAVY OF CHILL.


Amazonas, dispatch boat.
Five gunboatS of 420 tons each.
Eleven torpedo boats of 80 tons each.
Two torpedo boats of so tons each.
In addition to these vessels, the Chilian
government has the power to subsidize
the fine steamships Of the North Ameri-
can Navigation Company, a passenger
line owned by Chilian capitalists. These
vessels are so built that long range
firing gun can be placed in each. They
would serve as transports. Other vessels
that they could command are the I'M
periale, with battery Of 12 guns; the
Aconcaqua, 4106 tons; the Chile, 2309
tons; the Marpo, 5000 tons, and Bio Bio,
713 tons. These could be used as armed
transports.
The latest news from France concern
ing the fitting out of the Chilian -armored
war ship Captain Pratt is to the effect
that the workshops will have the vessel
ready for sea in 80 days time. A num-
ber of small fittings remain to be placed
in position, though tie larger part of the
work is what almost any wideawake Off
Ger would undertake to carry out at sea.
1t is even thought probable that the Chill
ian commander, now by the vessel, may
take this view of the case, and under the
pretense of a steaming trial make off
with the new ship for South America.
1t is not generally known that the Cap
itan Pratt and the United States armored
cruiser Maine, now building at the
Brooklyn Navy Yard, will, when both
are in commission, practically offset the
other.
The list of available vessels in the
United States navy is:

CHILL WILL Apologize.

But Rumor Says Her Offer to Do So is
Unsatisfactory.
WASHINGTON, January 19-The Post
will say tomorrow: 1t was learned to-
day on good authority that the State De
partment has received information from
the Chilian government that that country
is ready and willing to make reparation
for all losses of life, limb and honor suf-
fered by Americans, but the dispatch or
letter is couched in such terms as to be
unsatisfactory.

think that a struggle to secure repara-
ton from Chill would be a short one
comparatively. Six months ought to be
enough for us to bring her to our terms,
and we couldn't have thought OF that a
few years ago before our navy had de-
veloped. The Chilian leaders know that
it would be a short struggle. [ believe,
therefore, they will avoid getting into it;
Demand should be pressed firmly and
Internationally for the effective with
drawal of the offensive letter and apology
for the insults to our sailors.'

In addition to the unarmored steel
cruisers of the United States navy, the
old navy could in case of war, contrib
ute seven steel and iron vessels, one tor
pedo boat and % wooden vessels. In adj
dition to these, three battle ships are in
course of construction, the Monterey,
the Maine and the New Work.
The Miantonomah is the most power
ful of the fleet. Her main battery con-
sists of four 10-inch breech-loading rifles
two in each turret), two six-pounder
and two three-pounder rapid-fring guns,
two 37-millimeter Hotchkiss revolving
cannon and two Gatlings- The effective
fighting range is seven miles.
The Maine will be ready for sea in
about year but in case of war could
probably be put in commission before
that time.
