WASHINGTON, Jan. s.-Jamas g..
Blaine has once more passed into the
valley Of the shadow VI death, and
even those most saDguino In auticlpa.
ton now hold no hope OF his recovery.
Notwithstanding the hopeful views
which tho family and attending ply.
sicians, by direction, from time TO
time have given out Republication no
expectation OF Blaino's ultimate 10.
covery is entertained 10y auy one In u
position to acquire knowledge Of the
facts In hia case. Many more or less
weli-foundcd assertions Of falling ami
dangerous relapscs have found pub
licity. But none were officially adj
mittod until last might, when the
physicians admitted that Blaine was
worse ana much weaker. Even the
admission was qualified by the Eu-
nOuncement that no immediate danger
was Anticipated. The case, however,
changed, und from the hour OF /
O'Clock this morning one or the other
OF the physicians remained In constant
attendance nj the bedside. At noon
the physicians
AUTHORIZED THE FOLLOWING STATE.
MENI:
yesterday Mr.. Blaine lost strength,
but last night his weakness became
more decided for u lew hours anu lie
seemed In danger OF speedy termina-
tlon. Since morning, however, he Is
somewhat stronger, aud at the present
moment shows more decided evidences
Of rallying. But no great hope can be
felt unless the improvement shall be-
come more marked than the present
symtolns."
The Doctors bulletin was alarming,
Ms II was the last OF many fucts 10 be
supplied outside Of Inquiries.
At about midnight his Condition 10.
came 10 alarming that the trained
nurse had DIR. Johnston aroused aud
huTriedly summoned. Johnston ar.
rived ut | o'clock and found Blaine
sinking rapidly aud he worked over
him Tor some timo before signs OF any
recovery became evident. His con.
dition was no alarming that the family
feHrfully looked for the end and re-.
manned awake and within immediate
call OF his bedside all night. The
powerful heart restorstives applied by
tho doctors were succesniul In fallying
and making more steady tho feeble
and htiul pulsatiOns OF the heart, 30
that by tho time churchgOers passed
the family residence Blaine's condition
VIVA shade better. He was still, how.
ever, 50 weak anu prostrated that the
doctors did not dare leave him, at the
same time fearing another attack and
the final summons might come Mt any
moment.
10 reporter who intercepted DIR.
Johnston on his way % breakfast he
said Blaine was In really
A DANGEROUS CONDITION.
At that time he was NJ low there was
cause for apprehension OF the worst, and
the probabilities were In the direction
OF the patienps falling instead Of rally
ing. DIR. Johnston returned shortly
before 10 O'Clock and soon afterwards
DR.. Hyatt emerged. He aalJ Blaine
had rallied somewhat since early
and hts system responded
more freely than heretofore to the
remedies administered. They revived
him to some extent and the action OF
the heart was better.
Representative and Mrs. Hit, In.
Innate personal friends OF the family,
were about the earliest callers OF the
day, and when leaving Mr.. Hit sor-
rOwfuliy admitted that he did not
think either Mrs. Blaine or tho NOM
beTo Of the family hoped for his ulti.
mate recovery anu said Mrs Blaine
was evidently prepared for the worst.
Robert Blaine, "a brother OF the sick
man, called later aud ON leaving the
house said the family felt more hopeful
than earlier In the morning. Soon
after | O'Clock Intimate frienus OF the
family sent kilograms TO relatives and
friends OF the family, announcing the
latest state OF illness. These stated, Il
ID understood, that the family were
without hope that Blaine wOuli re-
cover. Secretary OF State Foster called
and ON leaving stated that Blaiue hal
somewhat improved and was better
than last night.
A warm personal friend OF Blain 6
and one who has access to what trans
pires In the sick room said this alter
noon:
"Blnine has not had connected
thought for thirty days past. His
heart, while nourishing the other
organs, Ia not strong enough TO furnish
blood for the brain. But Blaine
DIES LIKE A PHILOSOPHER

death has been TO him In other and |
stronger days, few weeks since he |
called his family about him and calmly |
told them he did not expect to recover |
and went over his affairs In detail, and |

written OF Blaine's illness, the touch. !
