Mr. Blaine Much Better.

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. December 24.-"Mr.
Blaine is getting along very we'll indeed
said DR.. Johnston at o'clock this evening.
The physicians regard the condition of
their patient better than it has been at any
time FOR the past fortnight. The mainte-
nance Of his strength is one Of the most en-
couraging features Of his case and gives
the mem bers of his family ground for re-
newed hope. So much improved is Mr..
Blaine that few callers were received at
the house to-day. The Washington papers
have ceased to publish extended reports OF
Mr.. Blaine's condition.
Many persons called in the afternoon
and evening TO leave their cards and wish
the family merry Christmas, but none Of
them were seen by any of the family ex-
cept Miss Hattie Blaine, who received a
few OF her intimate friends. Alta late hour
tonight the light in the second story was
6imly burning, and it was evident to pass
ers by that the family had retired early to
rest.

Spsetal TELEGRAM to the Sunday Register.

SpseidI TSIsordm to the Sunday Register.
WASHINGTON, D. c., December 24.-John
L. Sullivan and his combination came here
last Sunday.
Sullivan was drunk when he came and
is drunk still.
Last night his debsuch took a serious
form and the ex-champion slugger became
alarmingly i'll.
The sinking or failing fl did not last
long and had departed before the physician
who was called arrived.
The medicine man, however, made a
careful examination of Sullivan, and at
last informed him that he was suffering
from bad and advanced case of fatty de-
generation of the heart; that he would never
feel well, but would if he took good care
Of himself be good while in dying, bus
that ne must give up stimulants and ex-
cesses Of all kinds and must not overload
on food water, or drink Of any kind.
Whiskey and its fellow exhilarants were
to be strictly avoided. A failure TO follow
these rules absolutely, so the doctor said,
might bring death at any moment.
The information left Sullivan very
gloomy and depressed. He is still keeping
up his drunk to-day, and he is as merry as
may be under the circumstances.

HAS NOTHING TO FEAR.
nj. Andrieux has Provided Testimony to
Clear Himself of Any Charges That Nay

be Made.
PARIS, December 24.-The statement in
these dispatches Friday afternoon, that
the Ministry had evidence that the present
attack on the government Is part OF an or
ganized plan for the overthrow OF the he
public, and that each step taken Is care
fully discussed in advance by the plotters
against the Constitution, is fully confirmed
and the evidence has arrived at shat stage
that the government Is prepared TO arrest
certain OF the conspirators against whom
there is sufficient evidence. M. Andrieux
is regarded as the manager OF the plot
against the Republic, and the first blow is
TO be struck at him. When warned that
he would be arrested to-day, NJ. Andrieux
replied:
II have nothing TO fear. II l am ar
rested. il will be to save NJ. Floquet from
disgrace and punishment The govern
ment is seeking for clues to prove the ex-
istence Of a Boulangist and Royalist plot,
and desires TO make out that am impli-
Gated in II. 1t seems to me that the real
plot is altogether Of another character.
have taken precautions so that II go TO
the government dungeon the public Will
know the real motives for my arrest"
The precautions that NJ. Andrieux has
taken are. il is SAID, the deposit with trust
all the documentary evidence which he has
collected against prominent Republicans
This fact, however, will not affect the ac-
ton of the government in the slightest de-
gree. M. Ribot's Ministry being prepared
on the one hand 10 carry on its legitimate
result, a thorough prosecution OF all con-
nected criminally with the Panama
scandal, and not shielded by the
lapse of time since the offenses
were committed, and on the other hand 10
ferret out and bring TO punishment all who
may be shown to be engaged in treasona-
BILE actions against the Republic. The
Government has been greatly encouraged
by the emphatic vote Of confidence in the
Chamber Of Deputies, and will therefore
take action more promptly than was known
to have been intended Friday afternoon,
when it was announced IN these dispatches
that 1T is also suggested, on unusually
well informed authority that the Ministry
will have some revelations 10 make in re
gard 10 the course of the enemies Of the Re
public. that will divert attention in some
degree from the Panama scandal"
