WASHINGTON, May 10. DIR. W. g.

ing Secretary Gresham, has discovered
that the latter's symptoms are almost
identical with those from which
Secretary Blaine suffered for many
years prior to his fatal illness. The
late Mr.. Blaine was the victim of a
chronic stomach disorder, brought on
by indlsereet habits of dieting and
exercise. This accounted for the
sudden fainting spells to which he
used to be subject, and which, ct
times, created SO much alarm among
his family and friends.
