At a. when it was feared Mr..
Blaine was dying, q messenger was sent
for Rev. DIR. 1. 8. Hsmlin, pastor of the
Presby ,erisn Church of the Covenant. DIR.
Hamlin arrived at the house at z. He en-

at the church, and it was the only church
he had attended since his resurn to Wash
ington in the autumn. He visited 1t on
one occasion only. DIR. Hamlin visited
the house again later in the day.
At midnight Mr.. Blaine's physicians Is
sued the following bulletin:
''Mr. Blaine's condition has been more
favorable this afternoon. He lie now at
midnight sleeping quietly and shows fair
degree of strength. The probabilities are
that no change for the worse will take
place to night, although no positive assur-
ance can be given on this point. As com
pared with last night and this morning, he
Is better"
Both physicians will remain through the
night, and the family will probably renew
Its vigil of last night or at least remain &C.
cessible at q moments call. The only near
relatives who are not now present are Prof.
Damrosch, Mr.. Blaine's SON in-law and Mrs.
Emmons Blaine, his daughter in law, both

daughter, Mrs. Dsmrosch and her child
and the children of Colonel Coppinger.
From the time of the issuance of the

OPPOSED TO HOMIE RULE.

An Anti.CathoIic MeetiDG In Boston,
Addressed by an Irish N. P.-Ireland
Declared to be Well Governed.
BosroN, Jan. Sat the anti Catholic
meeting at Music hall to-day Hon. T. W.
Russell, member of parliament for Tyrone,
Ireland, delivered an address in opposition
to home rule for Ireland. Mr.. Russell
stated he was not soliciting the active in
reference of any people here in the con-
test in Ireland. He believed that separ-
ate Ireland was never in the ground plan
of creation. The common idea of Ireland
is that she Is much abused nation, mis-
governed and trampled upon. This in
dictment the speaker emphs.ically denied.
He believed that the time had come when
England should not only be just. but gem
erous. To. day there Is no country In the
| world where the land laws are 30 just ard
| 30 liberal to the tenants as those of Ire
land, although he admitted that those
| of years ago were a disgrace to any
nation. Forty millions of pounds had
been placed by the English parliament at
the disposal of the farmers and tenants OF
Ireland, which Is more than an Irish par
lament would ever be able to raise. An
imperial parliament has given Ireland the
ballot, which has released its people from
the ironclad bonds of Roman Catholicism.
The depletion of Ireland during the past
few years, the speaker claimed. had still
left the country as fully populated as it'
resources will permit, and in some sec
tions 1t is even now over-populated ID
said that the present home rule movement
originated in 1870 and for several year
after that not a politician, not even Mr.
Gladstone, would hear of a suggestion fol
home rule. He believed Mr.. Parnell wa
the only statesman Ireland ever produced
her other agitators being merely polti
clans. He said that In standing agains
the home rule bill In parliament the liberia
unionists had redeemed England and stoot
by the pledges made to their constituents
acclaimed there were two Irelands-th
Ireland of law and the Ireland of lawlesa
ness. The latter, he intimsted, is tn
party which Is loudest In its clamoring
: for home rule.

ACCUSED OF CONSPIRACY.

Archbishop Ireland Said to Have
Preferred Charges Against His
Brother Preiate-Dr. Conway Makes
a Statement.
ST. PAUL, Jan. 6.-Archbishop Ireland
would not talk about the story that he had
forwarded charges to the pope that Arch
bishop Corrigan and others had or
ganiEsd conspiracy. Rev. DR.. John Con-
way, editor of the Northwestern Chronicle,
who stands nearest Archbishop Ireland of
all eoclesiastics in the northwest, said:
Journalists who are directly interested
in church matters, know by journalistic
munitions that conspiracy WAS being
Matched. The libelous pamphlet written
by Archbishop Corrigsn's Italian secre-
tary, the effusion of Miss Fades, a gar
rulous old maid, who is Roman cores
pondent of the New York Catholic News;
the dispatches purporting to have come
from Boston and other cities, yet all having
the came purpose; the plethora of anony-
nous letters published in the New York
Sun and other papers, pointed clearly to
the existence of conspiracy against the
ldluct. 1uo SulCs6O ocb hoo aOa0
great service to Christianity and the coun-
try by unesrthing the arch conspiracy.
Some scandal, as well as great good, will
follow from the revelations of the Post,
but the clumsy Catalinism of the New
York dignitsry is directly responsible for
the scandal. while the country will be
immensely benefited by the wholesome
harmony between Catholics and non
Catholics which must now be intensified
by reason of the knowledge given to the
public by the Chicago newspaper. The
American people see in this an additional
confirmation of Pope Leo's friendship and
of his admiration of American institu-
tions. The anonymous writer's of the cabal-
istic bureau will probably now cease. l
do not see how a newspaper can continue
to publish such silly letters without laying
itself open to imputstions of bribery. If
these few conspirstors do not now keep
quiet l sec nothing left except choice be-
tween locking them up in a lunatic asylum
or suppressing them bs public nuisance.
There is no necessity for Archbishop Ire
lands preferring charges in Rome because
Rome's representative ia here in the per-
son of Archbishop Satolli. Moreover, he
has Just learned the clear evidence from
the Post upon which charges could be
based"
Further than this statement from DR..
Conway nothing could be had tonight,
but there is good reason for believing that
no such charges have been formally pre-

was also the work of the incendiaries. The
