WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Dr. johnson, sfte,
remaining in the Blaine house all night,
left shortly after six o'clock this morning.
He said Blaine enjoyed q peaceful slesI
during the nNht. and was only awakened
al such times as was necessary to give
medicine and nourishmens. The docto,
put a much more hopeful aspect on the
case this morning, but would not 90 into
details further than to say the night had
boon satisfactory one. Al nine O'Clock
the attendant at tho door OF the Blaine
mansion said that the patient was restin q
worry easily indeed. Blaine is showing re-
markaole vitality. In Yesterdays sinking
spells it was thought he could not survive,
but his system responded to the los
administered with much readiness. DR..
johnson paid a visit to Blaine between five
and six o'clock. He said MIR. Blaine rested
comfortably all day and was much better.
He rallied considerably and there was no
reason. so far as DR.. johnson could see, to
expect fatal termination during the
night.

TOPEKA, Kan., Jan. 8.-Ths triumph o,
the populists OF Kansas, made possible al
the polls in November, was fulfilled to-day.
The ceremony took place in the hall OF the
hOnse of Representatives and was Witnessed
BY probably the greatest crowd ever as
sembled in Kansas on . similar occasion.
Precisely at noon the old and new officers
appeared and took seats at the right OF the
stand. Al 1910 John w. Breidsnthal,
chairman Of the peoples party state CEN
tral committee. and master Of ceremonies.
introduced Rev. w. q. Todd, who invoked
divine blessing. Thon Gov. Humphrey
spoke briefly. conRratulating his succession.
When Gov. Lswclling appeared the ftst
real hearty denomination Of the occasion
was shown. In his address he said in part:
The survival Of the fittest IL the govern
msnt Of brutes and reptiles, and such phil
osophy must give place to government
which recognizes human brotherhood TO
p, otsct the rights Of the laborer and pro-
ducsr. Sectional animosities should be
forgotten.
"The state" he continued. els greater
than party; but the eitizsn 10 greater than
the state. while the family the citizen pro-
ducss 10 the priceleas jewel of our ciyiliza-
tion. The problem is now to make II pos
sibls for the citizen to live BY his own Ia
Dor. II government fails Of these things it
ceases to be OF advantage to the oitizen.
He is absolved from his allegiance and ID
no longer held by OWL compact. But gov
ernmsnt is not failure. This ID the gen-
GRAFTON which has como to the rescue. Con.
science is In the saddle and the grandeur
OF civilization shall be emphasized BY the
dawn of new era, in which the people
shall reign. when the withered hand of
want shall not be outstretohed for charity;
when liberty, equality and justics shall
have permanent abiding places in this re-
public"
The oath Of ofico was then administered
BY Chief Justice Horton.

First Case on Record OF the Kind In the
Country.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-In the case of the
Union River Logging Railway company of
Oregon, for an injunction against Score
tary Noble. of the interior department.. the
United States supreme court, in an opinion
bv Justice Brown. to-day affirmed the
Judgment of the district court, granting the
injunction. Tho injunction was applied
for by F. d. Mckinney, counsel for the
company. to restrain Secretary Noble from
revokinR the approval of his predecessors to
the map Of the location of the company.
Secretary Mobiles action was based on the
ground that the company was not general
transportation company, as contemplated
by congress whom it made the land grant to
the corporation. but . private logging rail
way concern. Counsel claimed that BY the
original approval OF the map it acquired
vested rights which could bs taken away
only by judicial proceedings. 1t was main
tanned, therefore, that no discretionary
right lodged in the secretary. The court
upholds this view. 1t issaid.this is the first
time In which a court has affirmed the
grant Of an injunction against a cabinet
officer. II heretofore accomplished much
the same thing by way OF mandamus but
in cases heretofore the court avoided the
grant of an Injunction. though never stating
that IL would not under any circumstances
do 30.
