private legal business for the week SO
that he could remain here and get down

among the knowing politicians here.

see reporters this morning, saying they
had nothing to say for publication, Mr..
Bayard will remain here for the balance
of the week.
Mr.. Cleveland and ex-Secretary Bayard

Mr. Blaine In State of stupor For Days.

WASHINGTON, January "a. = Mr..
Blaines condition remains practically
unchanged. He passed a restful night.
sleeping the greater part of the time,
and has apparently lost no strength,
neither has he gained any. Mr.. Blaine
is much of his time in state Of uncon-
sciousness.
NJ. Blaine has not spoken a word to
the members of the family for more than
a week. The family share the belief Of
the physician that the sick man can never
recover, and are resigned to the inevita-
BILE. His present condition, however, is
not regarded as critical, and there is no
apprehension on the part of the family
of an immediate dissolution.
No encouraging reports as to even tenn
porary gaining of strength are received
from Mr.. Blaine's physician or family
today. The impressionsis everywhere
becoming more emphatic that each day
now finds the patient in some respects
not so well as on the previous day.
Everything about the house to night ap-
pears the same as usual. -
The physician visited the patient at
9 tonight, and said there was no material
change. Mr. Blaine slept more than a
week ago, and when awake was con-
scious. The doctor said he should not
return tonight unless called for.
