An Unfavorable Change Last Night in the
Condition of the Suffering Statesman.

WASHINGTON. Jan. Mr. Blaine 10 worse
tonight. Dr.. Johnston visited him about
9:30 o'clock this evening. and found that
Mr.. Blaine had undergone an unfavorable
change. and was weaker than he was for
several days. Dr.. Johnston sald that there
had been no perceptible change in Mr.
Blaine's condition for the past three or
four days. but tonight there has been,
and. unfortunately. in the wrong direction.
In reply to an inquiry he said that at pres
ent he was unable to tell the extent of the
setback. but hardly anticipated q change
of great seriousness tonight, and would
not make another visit to the patient be-
fore morning, unless @ call should come for
him.

said that all the family cared to

VALUABLE BRITISH SUBJECT.
Uncle Sam Asked TO Pay ST .000,0 for the
Alleged Unlawful Killing of Ed. Hallinger.

JERSEY City, n. j.. Jan. 7.-Charles J.
Peshal has prepared q petition for pre-
sentation to the United States government,
through the British consulate at Washing
ton, asking for an indemnity of Sl,000.000
for the killing of Edward Hallinger, q
British subject. Hallinger was hanged OH
Dec. % for the murder of Mary Peterson.
Mr.. Peshall said to reporter: "Hallinger
was British subject. as he was born in
Great Britain. He was not only put to
death without q trial by Jury, but
was not even given o chance to
speak for himself when brought before
Judge Werts and sentenced for the last
time to be hanged. The right of trial by
jury is an inalienable right. and cannot be
taken away from anybody who stands in
jeopardy of his life. Another curious thing
! have heard is that the official record of
HallinRer's sentencing and execution Is
scratched and marked, and portions of the
printed form have been marked and
scratched out By pen and ink. FcT In
stance. that portion which recltes I, at the
condemned man has been asked whether he
had any thing TO say why sentence of death
shou i'd n OF be pronounced upon him has been
omitted from the corrected record. That
fact bears out my statement that Halllnger
was led out like a dog, placed before Judge
WertZ and sentenced to the gallOws with
out being Afforded the opportunity to make
q statement or protest against the sentenc-
ing. Such a method of procedure is con-
trary To oil law and precedent" Lawyer
Peshall says be does not believe q report
that HalliDger was compelled to accept the
ministrations of the Catholic priest. al
though he wanted Baptist clergyman as
adviser. Hallinger told him he was o
Catholic and brought up in that faith.

READY TO SUPPRESS DISORDER.

The French Government Does Not Propose
To Let Anarchy Show ITS Head.
PARIS. Jan. THE government prepara-
tions to suppress disorder in Paris are not
based on any apprehension whatever of O
royalist outbreak. but upon the attempts
of the extreme Socialists to arouse an in
surrection. The government does not view
even the Socialist movement with serious
apprehension. and is confident of Its ability
to MAINTAIN order. General Saussier may
be relied upon to give loyal support In the
event of an outbreak, and the troops under
his command are believed TO be equally
loyal. The mob of Paris no
longer possesses the formidable character
which it exhibited in the days of the COM
mune and of i4s. The more dangerous lead
ers in popular agitation are under con-
tinued surveillance. ana the ministry OF
the interior Is kept accurately informed or
