a SICK STATESMAN.

Indications Point to n EARLY Close a
Ex-secrotaFy Blatne Career - Fears
3 That He W,ll Never Rsesssr-sone-
thing About His Dileass. s e S. -
WAsHINerQN, Dec H.-There IL no
material CT ge in Mr.. Blaine's con-
sditton. Friday he showed atempornry
Improvement and during. the afternoon
and evening he Vas perhaps little bet
ter. But there were no signs Of q per.
manent gain in strength. Those near
and dear to him had faint CLEAN Of hope
that his strength mightsyet COME back
enough for him to be removed to q
more kindly climate, yet they did not
deceive themselves into believing that
this was anything more than q remote
probability. Mr.. Blaine's family real
izing that his present sickness is un.
like any attacks he has had in, the
past.
Mrs. Blaine is constantly at his bed
side. James G. Blaine,s Jr., Miss Hat
tie Blaine. Mrs. Damrosch sand Mr..
Rlaines cousin, Miss Dodge. are all at
4 he family residence. Outside of his
family and physicians, and possibly his
religious advisers, nobody has been
able to see tMr. Blaine. Until the last
day or two his family have been hope.
ful that his present attack was only a
temporary one, but the signs of lost
vitality are such that they no longer
seek to .comfort themselves with this
hope. They do not give up entirely,
but they realize that Mr.. Blaine is in a
much more dangerous condition than at
any pre- vious time. ssss,. s ssssssE 49,
i. The distinguished patients present
illness dates back only ten days. He
went out driving then and caught cold,
which was followed by fever. For a
few days this did not seem likely to
prove more serious than the previous
attacks. Mr.. Blaine apparently was
rallying from it, but the improvement
did not continue. He has been grow.
ing worse since last Saturday, though
he has had one or two temporary rallies
and has been bright and cheerful,
Mr.. Blaine is said to be suffering
from no special malady beyond the
general giving way of his physical
powers. It is possible that he may
really be victim of Bright's disease,
and the spells of nervous prostration
to which he hes been subjected are due
to this cause, yet there is moth.
ing that can be learned definitely.
Mr.. Blaine's spells of illness have
been so frequent that his family have
naturally been averse to giving pub
lcity to them. The widespread inter.
est in the foremost private citizen OF
the republic iusti6es the statements
which are made regarding his condi.
ton row. He has practically been an
invalid for three years past, and
whether chronic disease has been
making ravages on his system OF
whether a succession of attacks of mild
illness has weakened him there is no
longer any question that his vitality is
impaired so that his recovery is des-
paired of by those who know the facts.
The sympathetic interest is as wide.
spread as it is deep. From every cor.
ner of the land and from almost every
part of Europe inquiries come daily to
know how Mr.. Blaine is. The answer
cannot longer be made cheering.

EUROPEAN NAVIES.
ITO be Continued.

The Naval Annual, which has just
been issued in England, gives some
interesting figures relative to the
British navy. Among other items,
which ought to give any naval tax
payers in America a chance to re-
fleet, is the expenditure during the
past seven years of f22 100000 for
new ships. A glance at the book
shows what tremendous cost, and
incidentally waste, the British navy
is TO the nation. War ships of the
very latest designs become obsolete
before they have left the building
yards, while fabulous sums are spent
annually in refitting and altering use
less ships, but generally the British
navy shows up very well.
England has now ready for war
