END NOT

Physicians Abandon Hope of Re.
cOvery Of Postmaster GEN
eral Payne.
Experiences Severe Sinking
Spells Which Render Him
Much Weaker.

Washington, Oct. 4.-Postmaster
General Payne is rapidly losing ground
and his condition is such that life is
being sustained only artificially. A
sinking spell at 1890 p. M, from
which he rallied slightly, rendered him
much weaker than heretofore and one
of the physicians in attendance an
nounced that he was distinctly worse
and that the end was not far off.
Up to a. m. Mr.. Payne was
doing we'll, but at that hour he had a
sinking spell and from to he was
kept alive only by the application of
powerful StimulantS. In fact it re-
quired the use of a greater quantity of
heart remedies than at any previous
time. There was a weak response to
the treatment.
Dr.. Osler came over from Baltimore
during the morning and joined Doc
tors Magruder, Rixey and Grayson in
consultation. The following bull
letin on Mr. Payne's condition was
subsequently, issued:
"Since 3 o'clock Mr.. Payne has not
been so well. The hearts action is
again weaker. Condition not SO favor
able.'
1t has been characteristic Of Mr..
Payne's illness that sinking spells
have occurred in the early hours of
the day, but thus far he has shown re-
markable rallying power.
In the course OF the night Mr.. Payne
asked the attending physician about
Wisconsin matters, indicating that he
still has grasp on public affairs.

we could find nothing after thorough

deliberately made up for the purpose
of affecting public sentiment. This
plan was participated in, not only by
members Of the house of delegates un-
der indictment for boodling, but by
prominent financiers of ST. Louis who
feared exposure and by those who gave
us the money"
Of the combine Kelly had this to
say:
eve never thought of passing a bill
out of which any money could be OBJ
tanned unless we were paid for our
votes We went about it In a business
like way and had combine meetings
at stated times and fixed the bribe
prices which we were to receive for
our votes by a majority vote of the
combine. Then we would select one
of the combine in whose honesty we
had confidence to go out and get the
money
"These agents would rarely ever be-
tray us. In one or two instances they
confiscated part of the money, but as
general rule they were honest with

had high code of morals and it was
considered extremely dishonest for a
member of the combine to accent
bribe monev without dividing amongst
his fellows"
