ing unusual occurred until 6:25 Thurs
day evening whom messengers wer
hastily dispatched for both Drs John.
ston and Hyatt Young Mr. Blaine wa.
also quickly summoned This fact
taken in connection with evidences o:
unusual commotion about the family
residence, led the little group of news
paper men near the house, to believe
that Mr.. Blaine had suffered a seriou,
relapse.
; Both physicians responded promptly
to the demand for their attention. ane
went at once to Mr.. Blaines bedside
After some twenty minutes spent il
consultation DIR. Johnston left tn,

positively serious nature had occurred
and that Mr.. Blaine's condition was prac.
tically unchanged from what it had beer
during the day lie further stated tina,
whenever any symptoms developed that
might be construed by Mr.. Blaines at
tendant as unfavorable the physicians
were Immediately notified; but this die
not indicate a change for the worst
and was merely a phase in his condi
ton, which was not understood by
those not at the bedside.
DIR. Johnston said that he would no,
make another call until $50 Thursday
night DIR. Hyatt remained after DR.,
Johnston had departed, which fact
served to strengthen the belief tina,
Mr.. Blaine was not so well.
About Z o'clock DIR. Hyatt left the
house. He said that the trou BILE which
had occasioncd a hasty summoning oil
the physicians was the difficulty which
the invalid experienced in breathing
The attendant supposed that the la
bored respiration was caused by an at
tack of heart failure.
DR.. Hyatt said that upon examination
the heart was found not to be affected
the only apparent difficulty being in
respiration Medicine was admins
tered, to which the patient quickly re-
sponded, and the unfavorable symptoms
which had alarmed the femily passed
away quickly.
Mr. Blaine was weaker Thursday
night than he has been since he has suf
fered the relapse two nights ago His
physicians, Drs. Johnston and Hyatt
called at $3.50 o'clock and remained in
the sicll-room for forty minutes, during
which time they made thorough ex,
animation of the patient and gave him
some additional medicine
When they came out DR.. Johnston
said that Mr.. Blaine had not had re-
lapse at o'clock as stated. He coulc
not call it that. There was complica

yielded to the treatment readily, but
from which the patient had not recov

A Convention Of Commercial Bodies
Discuss the Matter at Washington.
1t il Claimcd to he Necessary owing to
Our Relations With CRnads-tt l. of
The Utmost Importance From
Military Point al View.

WASHINGTON. Jan. l4,--The conven-
ton Of representatives of commercial
bodies and lake interests OF the coun-
try. called by the Duluth chamber of
commerce To organize movement in
suppurIot the scheme to mite the great
lakes ana the ocean by ship canal
through the territory OF the United
States, assembled Thursday in the BAN
quot hall Of the Arlington hotel
1t was called TO order by ), A.
Thompson, secretary of the Duluth
chamber of commerce, who read the
call under which delegates were APP
pointed. at that time there were be-
tween seventy-hve and one hundred
gentlemen present, representing States
and commercial bodies from those por-
tions of the country most deeply in
tereStcd.
The call recites that ut has long
been recognized that it would be for
the greatest advantage. commercially,
to have a deep water ship canal con
Meeting the great lakes aud the Attain
tic, and that, from military point of
view, il is of the utmost Importance
that this connection should be
made through American territory;
but no decisive action looking to the
construction OF such canal has
ever been taken. During the past year,
however, public attention has been
sharply drawn TO the matter by the
controversy between the governments
of the United States and the dominion
of Canada over the discriminating tolls
levied by the latter upon American
commerce passing through the Welland
canal. and the passage of the so-called
retaliation act imposing corresponding
tolls upon Canadian commerce using the
| Sault canal Instead OF reccding from
position which Is manifestly In
violation of treaty stipulations, the
| dominion government is fastening by
every means in its power the enlarge
ment of the st Lawrence canals and
the construction of Canadian canal at
the Sault with the evident intention of
presently closing the Wellaud and St.
Lawrence canals to American COM
merce, either directly or by the imposi-
ton of prohibitive tolls The
people of the United States
| are thus brought face TO lace
with the fact that within five years at
most the merchant ships of Canada and
British men-of war as well will have an
open way between the ocean and the
lakes, while the Erie canal, with but
six feet of water, will constitute the
only waterway between Lakes Erie and
Ontario. or between the Great Lakes
