HIS LATEST ASSOCIATES.
Members of the Cabinet Pay Tribute to
BIaine's Memory.

WAsHIEGTON. Jan. 27.-President Har-

him. While recognizing the fact that ul'i-

the consideration of public business with
the members of his Cabinet, and, therefore,
after expressing regret and sorrow at the
loss sustained by themselves and the cOun-
try in Blaine's death, the meeting Of the
Cabinet adjourned.
The associates OF Blaine paid high
tributes OF affection and esteem to his mem

exalted Americanism. lie was a thorough
believer in the Monroe doctrine, and the
reciprocity policy which distinguished the
close OF his public career was the outgrowth
OF his convictions respecting that doctrine.
His diplomatic correspondence will rank
among the best of his political productions.
His reputation abroad will mainly rest upon
his acts as Secretary of State, and it is not
exaggeration to say that in the past ten
years at least he was the best-knOwn Amer

Secretary Noble said: flames g. Blaine

Even Death Cannot Allay English
Hatred of Him.

LONDON, Jan. 28-All the morning dailies
comment upon Baine's death. The
Chronicle says: "Few men played so
many parts. and most of them he
played remarkably well. We cannot
rank him with the great political
leaders of his country. He was brilliant
specimen of the American politician; good
natuTed. well-read and attractive. If 10
these gifts had been added the sterner
sense of rectitude and a lOftier purpose, he
would have been a really great figure
In our politics. AS it is, we must
place him in the category of lower men. He
typifed the period A which he lived. and
the best we can hope for the country and
the world is that the class to which he be-
longed. whether brilliant and interesting
like himself, or sordId and despica BILE ike
most of its members, may soon pass from
actuality into history"
The Standard says: ut would be Idle to
pretend that Am meTica is made any poorer
by the loss of her great statesman. He
might have been a powerful leader X he
had kept his record cleaner. His life's
labor will leave scarcely memory"
The Daily Telegraph says: "It is probable
that his TRADES against England had as
motive a desire to win Irish votes. but in
his character and policy there is so much
that is secretiyeness that 1t is difficult to es-
innate his qualities and idiosyncrasies
Alright He was master OF intrigue. a
wire-puller who well understood how
to manipulate machine politics"
The Times says: although he never at

The Daily News says: "The splendid
fabric of his life could only have been
crowned by the Presidency, and he prob
ably would have made any sacrifice of vital
energy to obtain it, if there had been left
him but single day to enjoy the triumph"
The Daily Graphic says: "As a states
man Blaine has few claims on the
notice of the historian. but as poll
tician he has been leading figure in Amer

foreign politics was unworthy Of his great
talents"

THE LAST HOURS.
Sadly the Friends Gathered at the
Bedside of Death.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The news Of
Blaine's death spread through the depart
nents with startling Tapidity. and while it
created a profound feeling everywhere, this
feeling y as intensified in the State Depart
ment. where there was hardly Ia official or
emDloye who had not a personal acquaint-
ance with the dead man. Although the
event had been daily expected, and every
one was in measure prepared for the re-
crDtion Of the sad news, 1t was still shock
10 every one.
1t is noticeable fact as indicating the
character Of the man who for two terms
held the highest position iu the Cabinet.
that he never again passed under the por-
tails Of the State Department after the day
Of his resignation. Those who had long
been in the State Department, and who
knew Blaine when lie was at his best, rec
ugnized with SORROW that during his last
service there was a remarkable change in
his physical condition.
Blaine vas perfectly conscious of his
poor health. a prominent Republican, who
called upon him about year ago, in speak
ing Of this, said: Il went to Blaine in the
latter part Of last January and asked him if
was d candidate for the Presidency. He
answered: No, sir. / cannot entertain the
thought for one moment. 1t would kill me
sure and l know it, and / do not believe l
have a friend on earth who would ask me TO
be a candidate if he knew the state Of my
health"
Blaine added: 81 am going 10 write a
letter on theIsubject"
After Blaine had written his letter he
was waited upon by friend who urged him
10 reconsider his action. With an air Of
despondeucy the sick man replied hewas
satigfed he could not live through heated
political campaign, OF if he should the ha-
rassments Of the Presidential Office would
surely terminate his life within six months
after he took his seat. BE intended. and
this statement is significant in view Of sub
sequent events. to resign the Office Of SecTe-
tary of State in the early summer to retire
TO his Maine home and spend his remaining
DAYS in the quiet OF literary work.
Blsine's death at last came painlessly and
quietly, but not without premonitlon. The
approach OF death was made evident to the
family fully two hours before it's actual
occurrence. 1t was between o'clock and
this morning when the first dangerous
symptoms were observed. Both physicians

CAUSE OF DEATH.
The Physicians Statement as to the
Nature of His Illness.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 27-FOlowing is the
official statement of the attending physi-
clans as to the cause # death:
"The beginning of Blaine's Illness dates
back some years. The earliest signs OF ill
health were assoca ed with, and were no
doubt due to a equity tendency which mani
tested itself in subacite attacks of gOut,
disturbances of digestion and progressive
innutTtiOB and anemia. Subsequent
events prove that at this time changes were
going on in the arteries Of the body, which
resulted later in the symptoms of the OBJ
liberation of those vessels and in chronic
disease of the kidneys. In December the
first signs of lung complications appeared,
which was, no doubt. connected with the
general disease, but as tubercular
bacili were found in the sputa it
is probable that there was some tubereular
infection as well. Much Of the d s. ress
from which Mr. Blaine suffered was asso-
ciated with the diseased condition of the
lungs, and his death was certainly FASTENED
by it. For three days before Mr. Blaine's
death there was no marked change in his
condition. and on the nj ,ht before his death
he did not seem to be in any immediate
danger. Toward the morning OF the 9th
bic and his breathing became much en-.
baTrassed. AS a result of the heart failing
In It's action ede ma Of the lungs occurred,
and he died without much suffering at IL
o'clock.

WAsHINGToN. Jan. 27.-The Senate met
with the gloom which the intelligence of
Blaine's death an hour before had naturally
east over the city and over the Capitol.
The sad event was appropriately noted In
the opening prayer of Chaplain Butler, and
as soon as the reading Of yesterdays journal
had been completed Hale rose and an

In his opening prayer in the House the
chaplain referred to the death Of Blaine in
feeling and sympathetic terms.
Then. amid profound silence, Miliken
(Rep.) of Maine, who represents Blalne's
old district, rose and said: 1T becomes my
sad duty TO announce to the House the
death of James G. Blaine. Mr.. Blaine was
for fourteen years a prominent and leading
member Of the House. Every position that
he held he gilded with the light of genius,
aud he has given TO the public his service
for a generation with such devotion and
such industry and such labor as has brought
him to his death to-day. l. do not doubt
that every member of this House will be
glad to pay him a tribute of respect by ad-
journment"
