Other P aces for the South. ° Senator Carlisle has consented to enter Mr. Cleveland's “cabinet as Secretary of the Treasury. It is the purpose of Mr. Cleve- land to appoint two other members of his cabinet from the south. These will be to the Attorney Generalship and to either the Post Office Department or to the Department of Agriculture. It is said that Georgia can have one of the two last named places if a man! for the place can be agreed on. If Blount is selected he will probably be made Post- master General. The secretaryship of state is still undecided on. It is understood that Mr. Cleveland is still trying to induce Mr. Dickin- son to accept that place, and some of Mr. Dick- ineon's friends think he may yield, ‘The ap- pointment of Mr. Morrison has not been decided on, though Mr. Cleveland is very favorably disposed toward him. The fact that Mr. Gray of Indiana contributed to the defeat of the plan for the nomination of Morrison at Chicago, by withdrawing his own name when his continuing as a candidate before the con- vention might have resulted to the benefit of Morrison, is being pressed as a reason why Gray and not Morrison should be put in the cabinet. sepa ahs ka THE DISTRICT APPROPRIATION BILL. It is Passed by the House Today Without ‘Amendment. At the close of Tax Star's report last Satur- day of the consideration of the District appro- priation bill the bill had been read and no amendments adopted. A motion was made to pass it, pending which Mr. De Ar- mond of Missouri moved to recom- mit the bill with instructions to the committee to report in lien thereof two dills—one a bill requiring the District of Co- lumbia to pay the entire amount of appropria- tions proposed and the other a bill reducing the appropriations for the Dia- trict to sum equal to one-fourth of the amount carried by the pending bill. that sum to be appropriated entirely by the United Staten, Tho yeas and nays were demanded upon Mr. De Armond’s motion and the vote developing no quorum, the House adjourned. Today in the House Mr. Dockery again called up the bill, and the yeas and nays were ordered upon Mr. De Armond’s motion to recommit. Mr. De Armond’s motion wae de- feated by a vote of 154 nayes to 62 ayes, and the Dill was passed without amendment. ——_—__-.-—___—_—_ THE LUDLOW COURT OF INQUIRY. From Present Indies Some Weeks. ‘The Ludlow court of inquiry resumed its ses- sions at the old army and navy club house on G street near 17th street this morning. Prof. Mendenhall sppeared as the — repre- sentative of tho Secretary of the Treas- ury and the light house board and Lieut. Berkheimer, third artillery, and Mr. Atkinson of Detroit appeared as the representatives of Maj. Ludiow. The latter offered in evidence the pamphlet prepared by him in reference to tho case, but the court declined to re- ceive it on the ground that it dealt with matters with which the court has nothing todo. Col. Otis, the presi- dent, announced that the court proposed to limit the inquiry to the circumstances preced- ing Maj. Ludlow’s relief from light house duty and to consider nothing that has occurred since that date. Capt. Mahan, engineer secretary of the light house board, was examined at length on Satur- day in regard to the action of that board bear- ing on the question at issue. Prof. Mendenhall was on the stand today. The court will reassemble tomorrow morning, and from present indications will be engaged on the case for a few weeks. csi pees es R ON SUNDA’ It Will Last THE FAL Mr. Duborow’s Committee to Begin Hear- ings Tomorrow. Mr. Durborow was in his seat in the House this morning, showing no evidences of his re- cent serious illness at St. Augustine, Fla. ex- cept a serious cough, which still lingers, ‘Mr. Durborow’s condition at one time was very serious. It will be a surprise, no doubt, to many of his Chicago friends and admirers to know that one night he was so ill that it was feared he would die before morning. The tron- ble was congestion of the lungs. Happily, how- ever, he was restored and is guarding himself carefully against any recurrence of the attack. ‘The urgent business before his committee on the question of Sunday closing brought Mr. Durborow to the Capitol today. He has ranged te have a committee meéting tomorrow to begin the hearings on the question of open- ing the fair on Sunday. Mayor Washburn and his party are expected to arrive this afternoon and rooms are prepared for them at the Arling- ton. ‘The Woman’s Club of Chicago has asked for a hearing in favor of Sunday opening and the club's representatives are expected to appear before the committee some time during the week. ‘The friends of Sunday closing are not inactive. Mr. Durborrow found in hie mail thie morning a number of «trong letters and petitions against revoking the Sunday closing law and he hears that the leaders of the Sunday closing movement, particularly the representa- tives of the American Sabbath Union, are yend- ing in telegrams rapidly to members of Con- gress to resist the repeal of the law. ns The Reinstatement of Government Clerks. Representative Bynum has introduced in the House # resolution calling upon the civil service commission for the names of all per- sons reinstated in the classified service of the government under the provisions of de- partmental rule No. 10 since the 4th day of March, 1889, the dates when such persons were dismineed or resigned from the service, the cause of their separation from the service, the states to which they were charged at the timo of their separation from theservice, the dates when and the departments in which they were reinstated and the states to which they were charged upon their reinstatement, Rule No. 10 provides that Persone retiring from the classified service may be reinstated at any time within » year without re-examination. ‘Mr, Bynum says that he expects to show that persons #hohave been out of the service for a much greater length of time than a year have been reinstated without examination. Contracts for New Cruisers. Secretary Tracy ssid today that he would probably be prepared early this week to an- nounce the award of the contracts for the con- struction of the sea-going battle sh ip Brocklyn and the armored cruiser Iowa, bids for which were operied at the department December 15. While no official statement to that effect has yet been made it very generally accepted in naval circles as Practically settled that both contracts will be given to Cramp & Co, of Philadelphia, to build the vessels in accordance with the plans pre- red at the Navy Department at their bid of 3,010,000 for the Brooklyn and their bid of 2,986,000 for the Iowa. ae Jacksonian Banquet. ‘The banquet hall of the Arlington Hotel was rendered lively today by the various commit- tees making arrangements there for the Jack- son day festivities of the Jackson Democratic Association this evening. Flowers and plants, flags, banners and decorations of all sorts, por- traits of Gen. Jackwon and of President-elect Cleveland and Vice President-elect Stevenson were deftly arranged, making an attractive dis- y.. Over 150 Jacksonians and invited guests ve been provided for at the banquet table. The tof the association, Mr. James will preside and deliver an address 0 music will be by the Marine Band.

E i a THE LICENSE QUESTION, “Mr. Perry in his views expressed on the Nquor question in Thursday's Evexrxe Stan,” said Mr. Wm. Gifford, who keeps a restaurant on the 7th street road, to n Star reporter, ‘de- nominates all salon: "= tye Tth street road be- tween the Bo” — *y and tock Creek Church Toad as‘lov froggeries,’ tt failsto define » ‘low Broggery. It is admuied that there are not to | be found many .vnman House bars or saloons \asluxuriousiy appointed in this section, but | there are many orderly and well-conducted places there, whose proprietors exercise every care, and with as much or more success, to Preserve good order, as do the more wealthy saloon keepers in the fashionable and business sections of the “Iv calling all anloons on 7th street road low Groggeries, it seems to be the impression that unless a saloon is fitted up with fine mirrors, with walls adorned. by ertltic: paintings of at least questionable morality and these luxuries surmounted by an onyx-adorned bar, over which can be purchased not only the liquors of this country's production, but the body and mind destroving beverages of Europe. it is » low groggery. Itis true that there are no saloons such as these in this section, nor do they cater there to the class of trade usually patronizit restaurants of this character. patrons of these low groggeries "are men in humble stations of life, but because of this there is no logical reason why. they should not occasionally indulge themsclves as do their more fortunate and richer fellow men, ‘They are unable to pay for these indorsements; they do not expect them nor do they get them. A few persons animated by a fanatical fury | have endeavored to secure prohibition through- out the District. Congress, composed of men who have seen the effects of such legislation, would not listen to them, but to appease them in a measure and thereby escape further impor- tunities, and at the same time not subject them- selves to its effects, passed a law to provent tho lawful sale of liquor within a mile of Soldiers’ Home on the plea that the old soldiers should have no temptation. But in there any rhyme or reason why a poor old soldier in_ his latter days may not occasionally enjoy his drink, sim- ply because he was a private who has suffered the real hardehips of war, its wants and priva- tions, and had expreared to all its dangers and perils in the ranks, while the general or com- mirnioned officers may indulge their appetites in jlded saloons and with no one to find fault. ‘he government should not class the men who served it as inebriates simply because they were privates, “Now a word as to high license and the pre- vention of the lawful sale of liquor within what is known as the mile limit. No one supposes for « moment that either will prevent the sale of liquor. They will prevent its sale lawfully and at places over which the authorities can exercise ‘oper super- vision. Ia the place of licensed mloons, and high license will result in preventing many from obtaining @ license, many speak easys will necessarily open. Give ue a license law fair to the keepers of saloons who conduct their places in an orderly manner. Make as a criter- ion of @ man’s responsibility to keep a saloon the manner in which he conducts it, and not. the profit he derives from it. A law such as this, rightly enforced, will soon raise the character of ‘low groggerier,” though per- haps not their attractiveness, and herein will be found the only practical solution of a difficult and over-agitated question.” ‘MR. SIMON WOLF'S OPINIONS. “In answer to your question as to my opinion in regard to the bills now pending in Congress for the regulation of the liquor traffic,” said Mr. Simon Wolf to Stan reporter, “I beg leave to say that I have for the last twenty-five years. on the rostrum and in, public print, ex- pressed my views so thoroughly that I scarcely see the necessity for repeating them; yet asanew generation springs up every few years, I will simply state that what this Dis- trict wants is a law that cannot only be en- forced, but one that will be respected, a law that is uniform in its application and a Jaw that is based upon the evolution of public sentiment in regard to the liquor traffic and the conse- quences resulting therefrom. “There is a medium ground upon which all men of sober, conservative Judgment can and should stand.’ The fanatic on the one hand and the lawless on the other should be absolutely tabooed, and the citizens who are looking to the welfare and prosperity of the nation’s capital, their wishes only should be regarded as para- mount and of importance. We must look upon all things existing as having an aim and purpose; vice. aud immorahty can never be abolished by legislation, They can softened and ameliorated. From the earliest, period up to the present, men, and even women, have used intoxicants in some form er other, and they will continue to do so until the end of time, and every attempt wherever mnde that looks to the ‘total abolition thereof only strengthens the vice in a manner producing more disaster what existed before. In other words, prohibitive legislation leads to hypocrisy and to secret drunkenness, and rele- gates the saloon into secret places and to the home circle. Therefore let us have a rational, sensible business law. “L Letit be recognized as any other bu: ness which is legally conducted. Let the ap- plicant, having secured the consent of ama- jority of the residents and owners on the square in which he 1s to do the business, file his application and thereafter annually receive as renewal of said license, provided he has not violated law within the period for which his license has been issued. And to enforce this measure moro strictly, let the fact of violation be communicated ‘to the assessor, who shall be inbibited from receiving the money forarenewal of the license until the question, if the case is pending in court, sball be determined as to the innocence of the party | accuved. Then when a majority of the persons wish to relieve themselves of what they may con- sider a nuisance oranannoyance. all they have to do is to file their protest st the Commission- ers’ office against the reissuing of a license in their square. There is no reason in the world why the citizens should not be made to bear a part of the burden instead of throwing the whole onus on the individual who is to do the business and who pays a license fee into the public treasury. 3 “2. Confine the business as much as possible in the localities where commerceand trade exists, and in such localities where the more degraded wrtion of the community naturally drift. This Intter sentiment may seem harsh and wound the feelings of the hypercritical, but vice and immorality can be better controlled in the haunts frequented by its votaries than if per- mitted to overflow every portion of the com- munity. Every city in Eorope today limits the number of licensed places; even in Berlin there are strong regulations in regard to the number of places, and there is no reason why the law should not limit to a certain extent the number of places in this are “Again, no license should be issued to any except those who are citizens of the United States or such who have made application therefor. ‘Again, as it has been claimed, and very justly no doubt, that the number of whole- salers existing in this city is simply a mask for doing retail business, the license should be uni- form. The drug stores also have been accused, how justly I do not know, that they, baving the privilege of selling liquor by a doctor's pre- scription, are doing a great deal of retail busi- ness. ‘Therefore where such permission is given a drug store there is no reason why they should not pay @ license, for they can easily es- cape their tax by not selling. “Public opinion unquestionably demands a higher license, [am not in favor of a licence tax that shall prove probibitory and simply lead to a larger number of unlicensed places; therefore I would be in favor of a uniform license of $250, an amount that I feel certain the brewers of this city, their representatives and the better class of those who are en- in the traffic would find no ob- tion to, I feel confident that the it element are as anxious to get some satis- factory law which can be understood and re- spected as the authorities themselves are. It is only those who are trade and trafic out of this constant inty that are oppos- ing any legislation whatsoever. “The power that is to be given under the new law to the police should be clearly defined. It ‘should not be of an autocratic character. They only be regulated, and by judicious treatment ; ~ rea-| MR. BLAINE VE Kept Alive Yesterday Only by Con- stant Attention. NIGHT. RALLYING AT ‘The Distinguished Patient in Critical State —The Physicians Offer No Ground for /pe—Very Close to Death's Door—Anxious Visitors at the House. eae During the past thirty-six hours ex-Secretary Blaine has been very close to death's door. Yesterday morning after his serious attack of heart failure the doctors did not think he could possibly survive. He is still alive, and late this afternoon it was said that he had rallied slightly. , ‘This statement brings with it very little hope to the friends of the great statesman. Even the members of his family are forced to admit that the hours of his life are numbered. Death may come at any time, It is hardly thought that he can live more than aday or two at the ontside. He is very weak and his rally of today was not sufficient to warrant much hope. About all that can be said of him is that he is still living, but the ravages of the discase from which he has suffered #0 long have sapped his vitality to a point where he has no longer the strength to survive another severe sinking spel. THE DOCTOR'S REPORT aT NOON. When he left the house at noon today Dr. W. W. Jobnston, who had been almost constantly | at the bedside of the sick man for nearly | two days, said thet Mr. Blaine seemed then to be better and brighter than he bad been at any time during the past four days. The friends who called this morn- ing and were admitted to the house bore signs of sorrow in their faces when they | loft and it was clear to see that they had been told that the family feared the worst. Among the callers were several members of the cabinet, and President Harrison is also kept informed of any changes in Mr. Blaine’s condition. Dr. Hamlin was at the house this afternoon for quite a little while. ‘The members of Mr. Blaine’s family circle who were not present .when he suffered his alarming relapse here reached the city and were all at the houre today. | The news that came from the house during the day was anything but reassuring. All who came out were at once surrounded by anxtous inauirers who were desirous to know what was the latest news from the sick room, toward which all eyes are turtied today. Men who had stood close to the man from Maine when he wasat the zenith of his power have at last come to the conclusion that thev haveseen him in life for thelasttime. They fear that when be comes forth next it will be never to return. THE PATIENT'S REMARKABLE VITALITY. The remarkable vitality possessed by Mr. Blaine was shown in the rally he made yes- terday afternoon and last night. At noon, or shortly before, it was the gen- eral belief, shared by members of the family, that the distinguished invalid could not recover, but the physicians, hoping against hope, relaxed none of their efforts to prolong his life. And he responded to the remo- dies and treatment in such a satisfac- tory manner that toward midnight Dr. Hvatt felt justified in returning to hishome, where he remained throughout the night. His departure was overlooked by the watchers on the outside and until this morning it was supposed the two physicians were in the house. All night long the vigil of the press repre- sentatives was maintained, but there was no in- cident to reward their watchfulness nor to break the monotony of the long hours until shortly before 6 o'clock. Then the light in the chamber of the sick man was suddenly turned on full, and in two or three minutes it was again lowered to the point at which it had burned ever since the house was closed for the night and the family had re- tired. A CLOSE FRIEND'S FEAR. One of tne closest friends of the stricken statesman and who was admitted to the sick chamber last night passed the house shortly after 9 o'clock this morning and salut- ing the watchers said: “I don't think you will have to keep the vigil much longer. The light of the life of Mr. Blaine is gomg out and I do not think he will survive the next twenty-four hours. His present condition is a struggle between existence and the end which is likely to terminate at any time. Mr. Blaine in his present condition is ap- parently oblivious of those around him, but he frequently arouses from the comatose state, and although too weak physically to manifest interest in the family, yet gives evidence of consciousness. Although the officials and other friends of the stricken statesman, who passed the house on their way Gown town, did not ring the door bell, they almost invariably inquired of the newspaper reporters for the latest report from the doctor and appeared much relieved at the answer given. Dr. Hyatt visited the patient about 9 o'clack and remained an hour or more. IN CASE OF HIS DEATH. In case of Mr. Blaine’s death it is understood that the cabinet and diplomatic corps will ob- serve a period of mourning the same as if he were still in official life. While there has heen no agreement to this effect nor even consultation upon the subject, it is known that the British minister and Secretary of State will give up their several engagements and their example would, in all probability, be followed. At 11 o'clock Dr. Johnston, who bad been with his patient half an hour, stated toa ze- rter: “Mr. Blaine is very much better. He is as well as he was four days ago, and has en- tirely recovered from the relapee of Satur- day’ night and yesterday morning. He is quite cheerful’ this morning, and I feel very much encouraged respecting him.” Shortly before this statement was made Mr. cause for apprebension of the worst. a — an an inquiry as to Mr. Biaine’s chaners for rallying as compared with the dangerous elements in the case Dr. Johnston stated that the probabilities were in the direc tion of the patient's failing. Dr. Jobuston returned to Mr. Blaine’s resi- dence shortly before 10 o'clock, and soon efter- | ward Dr. Hyatt left for breakiast, it being the a of the doctors that unless there | should be an unexpected diepiay of on the part of the ick man ree Bape of! them should remain with him constantly throughout the day. Dr. Hyatt, on his way home, said that Mr. | laine bad rallied somewhat since early morn-| ing and that bis aystem responded more freely | than it had heretofore done to the remedies ad- | tered. They had revived him to some ex~ tent and the action of the heart was better. ortly after 11 o'clock Sunday morning tele- | Grams were sent to absent members of the family announcing Mr. Biaine’s condition at that hour. | ANXIOUS VISITORS. Representative and Mra. Hitt, intimate per- | sonal friends of the family, were about the earliest callers of the day. They learned from | members of the family that Mr. Bisine bad | passed a very bad night and that the worst was | to be feared and then went away. Mr. Hitt was heart sick at the news and his face showed | plainly the grief he felt at the coming disolu- | tion of bis long-time friend. Mr. Hitt said that Mr. Blaine bad rallied from the temporary | depression which occurred during the night | and both the family and the physicians | hoped he might recover some of theloat ground. Mr. Hitt sorrowfully admitted that he did not think either Mrs. Blaine or other members of | the family hoped for an ultimate recovers, and said that Mra Blaine was evidently prepared for the worst. Mr. Robert Biaine, a brother of the sick man, called about 11 o'clock and remained longer than on any of his visits on previous dave. On | leaving the house he said that the family felt | more hopeful than earlier in the morning. His | brother, however, was qmite iow, and he did | not think it possible for any material improve- | ment to manifest itself. Secretary of State Foster called at the bouse shortly before 1 o'clock. He remained about fifteen minutes, and on leaving stated that Mr. | Blaine was somewhat improved and was better than he was last night. RESIGNED TO HIS FATY. Awarm personal friend of Mr. Blaine and one who bas access to what transpires in the sick room said yesterday afternoon: “Mr. Blaine bas not bad a connected thought for thirty days past. The heart, while nour- ishing other organs, bas not been strong enough to furnish the necessary blood for the brain, Hence it is that like the ancient pine Mr. Blaine | has been slowly perishing at the top. But Mr. Bisine dies like a philosopher at last, distasteful as the subject of death has been to him in other and stronger days. A few weeks since he called his famiiy about bim and calmly told them that he did not expect torecover, He was tr full pesrersien of his m: ultiesand went over hir sffairs in Gevail ond said to eech of hie children ali that be tad tomey. fn (he inter: vening period the members of the family have gradually become reconciled to the end which | is impending. When the history is written of Mr, Biainee illness the touching devotion of the wits aod mother will be one of its interest- ing chapters. No one except the intimater of the family are able to appreciate her fidelity and watchfulness and courage. Mre. Blaine bas remained at the bedside of her husband al- most unintermittingly watching every indica- tion of change and acting promptly in every case of emergency. Through all the stages of despondency and grief which Mr. Biaine has passed of late she has been at bis side to cheer and sootve and strengthen him.” RALLY PROM STIMULANTS. All during Sunday afternoon visitors were coming and going from the Blaine mansion, | the news of his dangerous condition having | traveled with great rapidity in official and social circles. Toward the evening Mr. Blaine rallic slightly from his attack of the morning. ‘This rally was effected by the doctors administering nitro glycerine to stimulate the action of the heart, which it is believed is almost clogged by uremic poironing. This drug is the most powerful known to medical science and 18 never used except on desperate occasions. Repeated doses of this medicine were given during the day and late in the afternoon. After the noon hour Mr. Blaine gradually fell into a semi-/ stupor, bis sleep becoming more restful an it continued, and at 5 o'clock Dr. Johnston #aid that Mr. Blaine’s condition showed slight im- provement over the moruing and noon time. He left the house at 5 o'clock, Dr. Hyait com- ing almost immediately. About this time Vice President Morton, Rep- resentatives Hitt and Boutelle, Secretary of State Foster, Private Secretary Halford and others called, Vice President Morton saw the members of the family, and while they did not dare hope for any permanent improvement did not ex- press themselves as anticipating any immediate collapse. close friends by members of the family and by the doctors. Shortly before 10 o'clock last nizht ident senta member of his house! over from the White House to inquire as to Mr. Blaine’s condition. He was informed that the patient was resting comfortably and that at was honed and expected he would live through the night. Rey. Dr. T. 8. Hamlin, pastor of the Presby- terian Church of the Covenant, was called to the bedside of the dying man yesterday morn- ing. ¢ Pres- THE MIDNIGHT BULLETIN. At midnight Mr. Blaine’s physicians issued the following bulletin: Mr. Blaine’s condition has been more favor- able this afternoon. He is now, at midnight, sleeping quietly and shows a fair degree of strength. “The probabilities are that no change | for the worse will take place tonight, although no positive assurance can be given on this point. As compared with last night and this morning he is better. From the time of the issuance of this bulletin up to 1 a.m. no one entered or left the Blaine house and every indication pointed to some hours of tranquility. ‘The blinds were drawn | down closer and the lights turned lower and all had settied into quietude. ‘The only near relat : Damrorch and Mrs. Emmons Blaine, his son- in-law and daughter-in-law, both of whom are understood to be on their way here; Miss Gail Hamilton, who is believed to be on the way from Boston, and Col. Coppinger, who married Mr. Blaine’s eldest danghier. The immediate members of the household present in the house are Mra. Biaine, her unmarried daughter, Mise Harriet; her son. Jus. G. Blaine, jr.; her’ mar- ried daughter, Mrs. Demrosch, ‘and her child, and the children of Col. Coppinger. THE REMARKABLE VITALITY possessed by Mr. Blaine was shown in the rally he made yesterday afternoon and last night. At voon or shortly before it was the general James G. Blaine, jr., started out for a walk. He repeated substantially the same remarks made by Dr. Johnston, and it was evident from his manner that he feit greatly relieved. ‘Severg) callers who were seen after they left {he hou stated that the members of the fam- ily were much encouraged over tho devel ments of the morning,and spoke quite h coer poke quitehopefully THI® AFTFRNOON'’S REPORTS.

THE SUNDAY MORNING ALARM. ‘Mr. Binine’s suffered a relapse Sunday morn- ing, which it was believed would carry him off before the break of day. He was seized with a belief, shared by members of the family, that the distinguished invalid could not recover, but the physicians, hoping against hope, re- laxed uone of their efforts to prolong his life. And he responded to the remedies and treat- ment in such a satisfactory manver that toward midnight Dr. Hyatt felt justitied in returning to his home, where he remained throughout the night. His departure was overlooked by the watchers on tke outside and until this morn- ing it was supposed the two physicians were in the house. All night long the faithful, patient vigil of the press representatives was maintained, but there was no incident to reward their watchfulness nor to break the monotony of the long hours until shortly before 6 o'clock. Then the light ‘in the chamber of the sick man was suddenly tarned on full, and in two or three minutes it was lowered to the point at which it had ‘burned ever since the house was closed for the night and the family had retired. “What was the meaning of the brief iflami- nation?” the watchers anxiously inquired of cach other.
