A NEEDLESS FURRY
occasioned at Mr. Blaine's Home by a
Doctors Visit.

WASHINGTON, January 20.-Mr. Blaine
is not so well this evening, although the
change is not alarming. At 5.45 DIR.
Hyatt drove to Mr.. Blaine house. DR..
Johnston followed few minutes later.
AS he alighted from the carriage he di-
rected the driver to 60 to his office for
certain medicines. The servant drove
back rapidly and the medicine was inn
mediately taken to the sick room. Mr.
Blaine, Jr., who was out of the house,
was hurriedly calico. Representative
Hit, who was in the house before the
physicians came, left the house, but had
no information to impart as to Mr..
Blaine's condition. After being in the
house for the greater part of an hour,
the physicians reappeared. DR.. john
ston said the visit at this time did not
indicate an alarming change. He simply
desired to consult with DR.. Hyatt, not
having had an opportunity during the
day. No significance was to be attached
to sending to his office for medicines.
Mr.. Blaine is entirely conscious, he said,
and conversed with him and members of
the family while he and DR.. Hyatt were
there. DIR. Johnston said he would re-
turn late tonight, not that there was any
necessity for it, but he wanted to know
the condition of the patient before he
retired. He considered Mr.. Blaine in
about the same condition as for the past
10 days, if anything little stronger. It
is learned that Mr.. Blaine has not taken
solid nourishment for more than four
weeks, and of course cannot gain any
material strength.
DR.. Johnston returned to the Blaine
residence at $40 and remained at the pa
TENTS bedside until 10. When the ply
sician left the house he said: "There is
absolutely no change in Mr.. Blaiue's
condition. He is just as strong as yes
terday. viii not return tonight unless
summoned by some unexpected change"

A Terrible Tragedy-Dead Men on an Ice
berg-Curbing the Paris Press-Fanny
Kembles Funeral.
LONDON, January 20.-The Morning
publishes an interview with Henri Roche
fort concerning the Panama scandal,
Rochefort says: I" There is no doubt
that Constans started the Panama ex-
posure to get revenge for the exclusion
from the Cabinet. He derived the bulk
of his information from Cornelius Herr.
Constans, moreover. inspires the Cocarde
even when it attacks President Carnot.
It is absurd to suppose that Carnot re-
ceived any benefit or favor from the
Panama Canal Company. He can be
blamed only for accepting dishonest men
for his ministers. The zeal of NJ. Bour-
geois in sitting the Panama affair is due
to his ambition to become President.
They all want to be President, fifty or
more of them. Said M. Rochefort:
The Panama d rectors will re-
ceive severe sentences. Then
Ave or six deputies and ex-ministers will
be sacrificed, and the rest will escape. 1t
is almost certain that the proceedings
against Rouvier will be dropped, al
though I do not believe he applied the
money in the secret service-it went into
his own pocket. Floquet, however, paid
out a great deal of money to small news
papers.
"The republic is in no way endangered
by the scandals. Nobody need fear q
dictatorship or kingship or anything of
that sort. The Count de Paris is too
prudent to think of mounting the
throne. Nor will the scandal affect the
Russian alliance. France needs the al
lance with Russia to counterpoise the
Triple Alliance. At the next elections
the Socialists will gain the greatest bene-
fits from the scandals"

Hello, Gorham-That Contested EIec-
tion Case--Nominations by the Gov
ernor.
Especial to the Press.J

AUGUSTA, January 20.-The taxation
question will be fairly before the law
| makers next week and the preparation
of speeches is now in order. The spec
ial committee having the matter in
charge has alreaky begun the prepara-
tion of four bills and the measures will
be presented next week.
| The first of the series imposes a tax
upon collateral inheritance. Such tax
was recommended by the special tax
commission, which reported bookful of
recommendations to the last legislature.
Collateral inheritances are taxed in
many states, New York among them.
By collateral inheritance is meant one
in which property is bequeathed to a
person not an immediate relative of the
deceased. For instance, John Smith
dying and leaving $4,000 to Samuel
Jones, Mr.. Jones not being a relative of
Mr. Smith within the degree defined by
the law, the executors under Mr.. Smith
will before paying the bequest to Mr..
Jones would dedu from the 10,000 the
amount of the tax and turn it over to the
proper authorities. In the bill to be pre-
sented by the tax committee the ratio
is fixed at two and one-half per cent.
The second bill is one impose an
annual tax upon the franchise of corpor-
ations organized under Maine laws but
not paying a state tax. This would ap-
ply to the great number of corporations
which come to Maine for organization,
while the men interested live in the 9TH
er states and the business of the corpora
tions is done outside of this state. This
tax is to be assessed at the rate of one
tenth of one per cent. upon the capital
stock of the corporations at its par value.
1t will be noticed that the assessment is
to be on the capital stock at its par value
and not on the amount paid in. That is
very often nothing while the amount of
capital stock is fixed at some pretty tall
figures.
The remaining two bills relate to the
fees paid to the state by corporations
organized under the general law and by
special charter. The first of these is an
act amendatory of chapter so, public
laws of 1891, relating to the revision of
enrolment and organization fees of cor
porations formed under the general law.
1t provides that corporations SO formed
shall pay upon organization the follow
ing sums in relation to the amount of the
capital:

To Let the State Raise School Funds
Senator Wiggin of Aroostook today
introduced bill which, if it becomes
law, will place in the hands of the state
the duty Of collecting school moneys,
now assessed and raised by taxation in
the several towns. The bill repeals sec
tions and 7 of chapter II, r. S., and
provides that in addition to the fund
known as the school mill fund, there
shall be annually assessed upon all the
property in the state, according to the
valuation thereof. a tax equal in amount
to so cents for each inha liant, according
to the census by which representatives
to the legislature were last apportioned,

distributed to the cities, towns and plan
tations on the basis of so cents for each
inhabltant, and shall be used solely for
the support of common schools. The
payments to cities and towns shall be
made semi-annually, in July and Janu-
airy.
Sections and of chapter II, R. S.,
which the bill repeals are as follows:

A Woman In the Scandal.

LONDON, January 20.-A dispatch to
the Daily News from Paris states that
there are signs of an endeavor to create
an agitation out Of the Egyptian affair in
order to wean public attention from the
Panama scandal.
Among the Arton checks last seized,
says that the dispatch, is one for 10000
francs payable to celebrated theatrical
beauty This is the first proof of the
connection of woman with the scandal,
but hardly the last, as the other batch of
checks to be examined next by M.
Franqueville will undoubtedly compro-
mise some society people of both sexes.
On the counterfoil of the actresses check
is memorandum to the effect that the

advance on purchase of lottery bonds
by wealthy young duke.

A Curb on the Press.

PARIS, January 2o.-M. Goblet op
posed Yesterday in the Senate the bill
amending the press law. The amend
ment, he said, was unn cessary and re-
dictionary. 1t would commit the govern
ment to interference with the freedom of
the press.
M. Bourgeois, minister of justice, re-
piled that the amendment would not in
terfere with the freedom of the press,
but would curb its license. Such en-
barrassing excuses as had been wit
messed recently could be prevented by
the provisions under discussion.
The amendment passed the first read
ing with a large majority. Proceeding
to the discussion of the amendment by
clauses, the Senate adopted the two
most radical provisions-for seizure of
papers and preventive arrests. Both of
the clauses in question were rejected by
the Deputies.
