MIR. BLAINE's ILLNESS.
Reported Better and Brighter Today Than
Yesterday.

Seporteu better ana brighter 1ouay Inan
Yesterday.
The reports from Mr.. Blaines house during
the night indicated no change in the condition
of the distinguished invalid. Mr.. Blaine it vas
stated last night, was entirely conscious and
ccnversed at will with members of his family,
though his physicians discourage him from e1-
cessive talk.
DR.. Johnston called at $50 O'Clock last night
and remained with the patient about twenty
minutes. Neither be nor DR.. Hyatt returned
during the night. 1t was stated that Mr.. Blaine
had slept considerable during the day, but that
this was no indication Of unusual weakness and
was incident to the disease from which he was
suffering.
Dr. Johnston visited Mr.. Blaine about IL
O'Clock this morning and remained about half
an hour. He said the patient had improved
since yesterday and was a little stronger and
brighter today
At a late hour this afternoon it was stated at
Mr.. Blaine's house that he was resting COM
fortably. This slight improvement noted to-
day Is accounted for in part at least BY the
members of the family by the grateful change
In the weather during the past twenty -four
hours.

still Struggling with the Silver Canvass.

The democrats are still struggling with the
canvass of the House on the silver question.
The radical auti-silver men are keeping in
the back ground little and those who have
not made themselves SO conspicuous in an
tagonism to silver are sounding the situation
The prospects for the repeal of the silver
purchase law are Frightening materially. Quite
a number of conservative silver men who have
means Of judging of the sentiment of the House
are of the opinion that bill making the repeal
OF thus law, without any other provision. can
pass the House by a pretty good majority if
vote can be lad.

THE BIG GUNS JACKET.
Methods to BE Employed to Get II L
Place.

Place.
The accident TO the l3-inch breech-loading
rifle at the Washington navy yard about a
month ago has proved more serious than was at
first supposed
While in the process of placing the jacket on
the tube the former grasped the tube several
feet below the point intended and welded fast
To remedy the accident 1t was decided to send
to Philadelphia and hire hydraulic apparatus
to force the jacket in its proper position. 1t
vas learned recently that this apparatus would
have to be built especially for the purpose, and
as it might never be called into use it was
thought that the expense incurred for this one
occasion would not be justifiable
10 meet the exigeucies OF the case a plan
was adopted which is in the nature OF an ex-
pertinent. The rife has been placed in a gun
PIT, and stands IN vertical position. About
the Jacket is arranged material COR heating it
ana the tube by means OF an oil blast and when
sufficient heat has been acquired TO expand
both stream of cold water viii be worked up
i'll the tube with the hope that it will contract
the tube and allow it to drop down in the Jacket
and tit IN proper posi- ion.
In the event OF a failure in this undertaking
continuance has been arranged near the end
OF the tube. with rings on either side through
which an appliance is to be placed TO use press
IRE and force the tube downward. If this last
resort Is unsuccessful the jacket viii have to be
cut away from the tube, causing q loss of Sli-
600 to the government. Ordnance officers are
unable to predict the outcome of the plan to
be put in operation, as it has never been tried
before.
