1t looks as though the disease had made
great headway with the health department.
There was some delay IN taking rigid pre-
caution against the scourge as far as lodg-
ing houses are concerned, and TO this NAV
be attributed the rapid advance which the
disease has been making All the lodging
houses south Of Fourteenth street, and there
are ll6 of them, were visited last night by
the health inspectors. Every one Of
the dodgers were examined. 1t is
intended to prevent overcrowding
of these places and to compel the propri-
etore to place no more beds in the rooms
than their licenses allow. The pest hole
No. "a Bayard street, where the first case
was discovered, was found to have thirty
seven beds in excess The total number of
dodgers in all the lodging houses in the city
is 1900. The health board will meet to-
day to take additional steps against the
spread of the plague.

MEETING OF THE STRIKERS.
A meeting OF 5000 strikers was held sos
day near Saar-Louis, and four leaders wcrs
elected to act in the place Of two already
arrested. Five men and three women de-
nvered violent harangues. They demanded
higher wages and shorter shifts. The govs
ernment, they said, was trying TO frighten
the strikers into submission, bus IL the men

The men became intensely excited during
these speeches and frequently cheered the

volvers, singing the "Marseillaise" and
hooting all the respectfully dressed men In

anarchists by counseling moderation.
A COMPROMISE ASKED AT ENsDoRF.
At Ensdorf the strikers have requested
the mayor to propose aoompromise for them

Reports from Saar-Louis tonight are to
the effect that despite the bombast OF ths

the men. the strike is weakening. Ths
striking miners are suffering keenly from
the severity Of the weather, and the az
pected contributions from England, France
and belgium have not come In. As ths
men we're unprepared for a strike they
must either return to work or starve.

The democratic canvass for senator is very
lively. The Clark men are obviously the
best organized aud have been longest on
the ground, but the HAuser men are hard at
work. and probably have a slight lead In
the number Of votes. The general impres =
sion is that the contest between Hsuser and

.sMr. Blaines condition is one of great
weakness, shown principally in the fee
bleness of the heart S action, and difficult
breathing He is perfectly conscious,
and has at no time be. n in a state of stu
por. AS he suffers no pain, no narcotics
or sedatives have at any time been given,
and it is not probable that such reme-
dies will be needed"

change in Mr.. Blaine's condition.
