WASHINGTON, Jan. 1T.-At 1880

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1G.-Shortly after
O'Clock Dr. Johnson made a brief call.
When he left the house he told re-
porter that Mr.. Blame was somewhat
stronger than he was this morning. His
condition was about the same as 1t was
yesterday. Mr.. Blaine's disease re-
mains a mystery to all but the family and
the attending physicians. The latter
decline, without the express authority
of the family, to divulge the nature of
the complaint which has now kept their
patient continuously in bed for four or
five weeks. with constantly diminishing
strength, and frequent sinking spells"
threatening immediate dissolution.
1t was hoped today, when the physi-
clans announced that at a specified
hour they would be prepared to issue 4
fuller statement on this subject than
had hitherto been given OUT that some
facts would be allowed to transpire
which would

of the public to ascertain the truth in
regard to the illness of one of its most
distinguished citizens. and at the same
time stop the crop of contradictory and
sensational TumOrs now prevailing. This
anticipation was not realized. There
was a delay in the issue of the promised
bulletin. and when iU did appear it con-
tanned nothing but what had previously
been made known.

cent years been treated by physicians
other than those in immediate attend
ance upon him at the present time. In

by combined efforts it can be more
easily accomplished. All that people
want congress to do is the experimental

eminent. and if it is found practica BILE
then the states will get needed legisla-
