CANAL AND CHARLES SITS.
VIII the City Council Act on the Matter
This year9

Will the City Council Act on the Matter
This Year?
what is to be done about the Charles
and Canal streets improvements" is the
question which is often asked in view of
the action Of the Mayor in not signing
the bill and making it thus in.
operative The expense which the
city has undergone already is consdera-
BILE and IL the City Council decides to 90
to the Supreme court again the same ex-
pense vii! necessarily be incurred again.
Whether Charles street is laid out by the
betterment act or not there is a loss of
over $500 which has already been paid
To the Charles street commission, the
committee to layout Canal street and for
advertising and serving notices.
IL is not thought liGely that the CITY
Council would vote TO lay out the streets
under the nigh way act so that the oues-
tion practically narro VS. down to whether
the proceedings will be renewed, and the
supreme Court will be asked to appoint a
new commission or not.
The city officials aud the council feels
that there is no reason for the whole
city's paying for the work, especially as
the City Council did not hold the usual
method. namely, of assessing the property
for three-fourths OF che cost OF removing
distractions, but have decided that the
city should pay one-half. The layout Of
Greenwich street was accomplished uu-
der the betterment act. as was that OF
several streets racently laid out and i'm
proved. so that it is not easy to see why
AN exception should be mipe in the case
of Charles street, when the Improvement
is one SO much needed and called for bv
the manufacturing firms aud other prop
erty owners.
Mr.. Covell, chairman Of the committee
on highways, said this morning that he
did not know whether the matter would
be brought up at all this year or not, but
il it was put before the council IA. did
not believe that Charles street would
ever be laid out under the highway act.
He was OF the opinion that there were
only one or two mistakes in the report of
the commission regarding assessments.
and thought the betterment act was the
best plan.

James q. Blaine has always been fond
OF the music OF good hand organ. He
has said that sometimes these instruments

One who Is much about the sick room
tells this pathetic story: "Do you know"
he said, 'that the coming OF
that hand organ is daily, eagerly,
awaited by Mr.. Blaine? II the Ital-

disappointment on the face Of Mr.. Blaine.

few things Of which it can be said that
Mr.. Blaine has seemed to be conscious"

WHERE WILL " BE LOCATED?
Another Site for a state Camp Ground
Visited

The committee on camp ground OF the
General Assembly which comprises Lieut..
Gov. Bull, Col. II. ID. Heydon and Capt.
II. l.. Gates visited Yesterday the land of
B. II. Lawton at North Kingstown, W hich
is one of the available sites for a camp
ground.
Thp land commands fine view OF the
bay and would be admirably adapted TO
the gun practice, but IL is rather small
containing only forty acres, when it is
thought that seventy-f five acres or more
will be necessary.
IL is also the general idea OF the COM
mite that the camp ground should be on
the shore OF the pay in order that this
offer OF the government of siege guns
and mortars can be accepted which
would not be the case IL the camp ground
were situated inland.

Mr.. BLAINE Is WEAKER.
Physicians Again Resort to the Use
Of Nitro-Glycerine.
HEARTS ACTION STIMULATED.
There Was No Unusual Activity About
the House Last Night - An italian
Organ Grinder Appears In Front Of
the House and Interests Mr.. Blaine.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 13-It was reported
about the city this morning that Mr..
Blaine had another bad turn during the
night and was sinking fast. The rumor
was not borne out, however, by the state
ment of the physicians.
AT 5:l5 this morning DR.. Hyatt left for
his home, after spending the night in the
house.
He said that Mr.. Blaine passed very
good night and rested easily. He was
not awakened until just before the de-
parture of the doctor this morning when
he was given nourishment.
The doctor admitted that the sufferer
showed unfavorable symptoms last even
ing and he decided to remain within easy
call all night. Later Mr.. Blaine inn.
proved and he no longer considered IL
necessary to stay at the house constantly.
DIR. Hyatt anticipates no change in the
invalid's condition in the near future.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Mr. Blaine was
weaker last night than he has been since
he suffered the relapse two nights ago.
His physicians called at $50 o'clock and
remained In the sick room forty minutes.
They made thorough examination Of the
patient and gave him additional medi-
cines.
When they came out DR.. Johston said
that Mr.. Blaine had not had q relapse.
There were complications, however, which
had yielded to the treatment, but from
which tho patient has not recovered ex-
cept at the loss of ofstrength.
There was no unusual activity about the
house, but there was an air which indI-
Gated that Mr.. Blaine was worse. The
guarded utterances of the doctors wers
more significant from what they failed to
say, than from what they actually said.
Something must have occurred TO
change the doctors programme, for DR..
Hyatt, instead of waiting until midnigh..
returned to the house within Is minutes
1t is understood that the doctors have
had again to resort to the administration
OF nitro glycerine to stimulate the hearts
action.
