their faces answs red the question
"He is dead" said Dir. Johnston, s.and
he passed away peacefully.a
The doctors did not give the exact
time of the death, but it was observed
that about 1o:45 the windows in the
room of the sick chamber were slightly
raised.
~, Crowds Gather as the, House.
The news of Mr.. Blaine's death
spread like wildiire. Crowds gathered
on the corner and visitors Hocscd to the
house. DIR. Ham.in, who was passing
the house when the announcement of
the death was made. at once entered
and remained with the family for some
time.
Word was sent TO the president i'm
mediateiy after-thc death. Al Hes
President Harrison, accompanied by
Private Secretary Halford and r. II.
Parker, Wake over to the Blaine man
sion. The president showed marked
signs of grief. Postmaster General VAN
amaker followed the footsteps of the
president.
The president and postmnster-gcn-
'eral We're quickly followed by calls
from Secretaries Elkins. Noble and
Rusk and Attorney General Miller and
Secretary Tracy, each of whom re-
manned only u few " inutes and then
repaired to the white house.
Robert Blaine, the !rotl,er of the
dead statesman, who has been faithful
in his attendance at the house of the
dying man. called with his wife about
11:50 o'clock and remained with the
family until l2:a0, when they left in
tears.
One after another in u constant
stream the most prominent people in
official life have stopped mt the house
ane: left words of coincidence with the
members of the stricken household.
In answer to the direct question,
7sDid Mr.. Blaine die of Bright,s dis
ease: i,r. Johnson said: while there
has been during the last several months
evidence of chronic disease of the Kid
neys, being a form of what is com
monty known as Brights disease, yet this
was not the sole cause of death. Ther,.
were other complication which tended
10 exhaust him and to hasten the end.
The relapses which he has had from
time TO time We're due to heart exhtlus-
ton, that isfeebleness and irregutaritg
of the action of the heart, accompanied
by difficult breathing. During yester-
day nothing important occurred, +, Mr.
Blaine simply lay there in a feeble con-
dition, taking but very little nour-
ishment. Indeed, he has taken
hut very little nourish1nent
since his serious attack of December
1s, and this has consisted wholly or
milk. At no time has he had any diff
Guilty with his stomach and he has been
able to digest whatever food was given
him. throughout his long Illness he
has been able torecognize the members
Of his family and the physicians. .
DR.. Johnston further said that
there had been really no hope of Mr..
fBlaine's ultimate recovery since that
Sunday in December, hut up to within
the last two Or three weeks u strong
hope had been entertained that his life
might be prolonged, since that time,
however, there has been no hope.
1T was ascertained from the physi-
clans that there was nothing dramatic
or sensational in Mr.. Blaine's last mo-
nents. There were ne last words. He
simply faded away.

elaborate reports concerning the condi-
tion of skilled labor last year, gathered
under the direction of the under secre-

exceedingly gloomy. The percentage

MITCHELL, S. D., Feb. John Nc
Namara, u ne'er-do-weil around town,
was arrested yesterday for stealing
some clothing. and placed in the city
Jail. An houi. or so after being placed
u the Jail it was discovered to be on
fire and itwas only after considerable
effort that McNanara was taken out of
the building more dead than alive.
His face and hands were terribly
burned, he was almost suifocated by
the smoke of the fire, and it is a ques-
tion whether he will live or not. 1T is
supposed that the fire was set either
through carelessness of the prisoner
while snlolkingg or purposnly by McNa-
mara. Only the interior of the build
ing was injured.
