Ilis death -was quite and peaceful andjhe re tained consciousness until a few minutes before his death. Ilis entire family.Miss Dodge and the trained nurses were at his bedside.1 Dr. Hyatt said that Blaine's death was due to sheer exhaustion, lie was un willing to make a statement regarding the exact disease of Mr. Blaine until he received the consent of the family. The news of Bfaine's death spread like wild fire and crowds gathered on the cor ners and visitors flocked to the house. Mr. Hamlin, who was passing the house when the announcement of his death was made, at once entered and remained with the family for some time. Word was sent to the nresident imms. diatelv after the death At 11:25 o'clock President Harrison,' accompanied by Private Secretary Hal- ford and Lieutenant Parker, walked over to the Blaine mansion. The presi dent showed marked signs of grief. Postmaster-General Wanamaker fol lowed the footsteps of the president. The president had been warned of Mr. Blaine's approaching end through the press bulletin which informed him that Mr. Blaine could not live through the day. A few minutes later he re ceded the announcement of his death. The cabinet was iromed ately notified. Secretary Foster,, of the state department, was at home preparing to leave town when he was notified by telegraph of Mr. Blaine's death. He postponed his trip and ordered that the department be closed. The president issued a proclamation announc ing the death of Mr. Blaine, and direct ing that on the day of the funeral all the executive departments at Washington be closed ; that on all public buildings throughout the United States the na tional flag be displayed at half-mast, and for thirty days the department of state be draped in mourning. At 1:30 p. m. it was stated by friends of the family that the funeral arrange ments had been so far determined upon that services would be held Monday forenoon and the remains would be at least temporarily interred in Washington City. CONGRESS ADJOURNS. The senate adjourned as a mark of re spect to the memory of Mr. Blaine. Mr. Hale made the announcement and Mr. Cockrell moved the adjournment. The house also adjourned its a mark of respect to the memory of the late James G. Blaine. AFFECTS THE COTTON MARKET. A New York special aays: The death of Blaine is expected to interfere with the taking of a vote on the anti-option bill, which is placed for next Tuesday, and this gave the cotton market considerable strength during the day. AT HALF MAST IN NEW YORK. Almost immediately after the news of Ex -Secretary Blaine's death was received in new xoric, flags were aupiaveu half mast on the city hall, the Fed building, the stock exchange and the newspaper buildings.

He was elected to congre as in 1S62, where,, in one branch or the other, he served for eighteen years. Began to take a prom inent part in the work of reconstructing the confedernte states in 1865. During the year 1867 he opposed that section of the reconstruction bill placing the Soutn under military government, snd was fin ally s uccessful in defeating tho obnox , ious clause. He also delivered a power ! fu! speech sgainbt the doctrine of pJrg off the public debt in greenbacks. Cho sen speaker of the house of representa tives in 18697 acd ws re-elected spfaker by the two next congrefses. In 1874, the democrats having gained control of the hous.-, Mr. Blaine became she leader of thp inritr Tn 1876, h? wr3 the most Drominent candidate for the presidential nomination. f. w VQ jure 11, the Sunday before tne convention, was prostrated by the teat wcea enter- J . l ing his church-.. Jit the i ODveiitioii he only lacked 28 votes of a majoriy neces sary to nominate him, but was defeated by the consolidation of of his opponents. Was appointed to the United States sen ate to fill unexpired terra caused by res ignation of Senator Morrell. During 1878 he advocated the establishment of a steamship line to Brazil and urged a sub sidy be given to insure its success. He was again a prominent candidate for the presidential nomination in 18S0. When Garfield was elected he was offered and accepted the state portfolio. He retired from the cabinet on December 19, 1891, alter inaugurating several measures which were ca'culated to accrue to the benefit of the United States. In 1892 i x : t . l : t . . . t 9 . uv uegan 10 wrne ms Historical work en titled "Twenty Years of . Con gress," on which he labored four years ; whs nominated for the presidency in 1884, but was defeated at the polls, and retired to his home in Augusta and con tinued writing his book. In 1886 he took an active part in the Maine cam paign, delivering1 a series of speeches upon the fisheries question. In 1888 he went to Europe in poor health, and had an attack of illness while in Florence. He fent two letters from Europe saying he would not be a candidate under any circumstances. He returned in the fall and delivered several speeches in favor of ueneral Harrison's candidacy. Harrison appointed him secretary of state in 1889, and began to interest himself immediately in the Behring Sea and fisheries question with (Jreat Britain, and other interna tional affairs. In 1890 he formulated his reciprocity laeas, wnicn were incorpora ted in the tariff act this year, and which lea to commercial treaties with several countries. In 1892 he resigned ai secre tary of State in June and spent the sum mer at Bar Harbor. In October he made a speech at Ophir Farm on his way to WHsnington, where- he has unce re mained. ji mmsox's proclamation. President Harrison has issued the lowing proclamation: fol- Executive Mansion: Washington, January 17, 1S'J3. It is my painful duty to announce, to the ptople of the United States the death of Jiimt s Gilleep'e Blaine, which occurred in this city today at 11 o'clock. For a full generation this eminent citizen has occupied a conspicuous and inllut ntial position in the nation. His first public service was m the legislature of his ! Btate. Afterwards for fourtten years he was a ' - . . . . 1 . j . t I . i nntinnnl l.rttmfi S .nrt.auAnf a lino. and was three times chosen it speaker. In 1876 h; was" el cted to the senate. He resigned his seat 111 tllilt "0iJ 1Q 1881 10 accept the position of Hc crttarv of state in the cabinet of President Garfield. After the tragic death of his chief, he resigned from the cabinet, and -devoting Inmselt to literary work, gave to the public in his "Twenty Years in Congress, a most valua ble and enduring contribution to our political littrature. In March, 18S9, he again became secretary of tlie state and continued to exercise this ofnee until June. 1892. His devotion to public interests; ma marked abilitv and his exalted patriotism have won for him the gratitude ami anection or ma country men and the admiration ol the wolrd. In the vatl d pursuits of legislation, diplomacy and literature his genius has added new luster to American citizenship. As a Mutable t xpression of national appreci ation of his great public services, and of gen- ?ral sorrow caused by hia death, I direct that on the the day of his funeral all departments of the executive branch of the government at Washington be closed, and that on all public buililincs throughout the united mates nation al fligs shall be displayed at half-staff, and that for the period of thirty aays the depart ment of Btate be draped in mourning.

Messages of condolence and sympathy received by the family were very numer ous and from men of all political parties. Among them was the following from Grover Cleveland ; His brilliant statesmanship will always be an inspiration to the nation he has served so long and well.

In answer to the question, "Did Mr. Blaine die of Bright's disease?" Dr. John ston said: "While there has been dur ing the last several months evidences of chronic disease of the kidneys, being in the form of what is commonly known as Bright's disease, yet this was not the sole cause of death. There were other consecutive complications which tended to exhaust him, and to hasten the end. The relapses, which he has had from time to time, wero due to heart exhaus tion, that is, feebleness and irregularity of the heart, accompanied by difficult breathing. Towards the morning of the Jan instant bu julic was observed to be very feeble and his breathing more em- harassed. As a result of failing heart action oedema of the lungs occurred and he died without much suffering at eleven ociock. uur.ng the whole of Mr. Blaine's illness digestion . was well per formed and liqild food (chiefly milk) was taken in full quantities. His mind was generally clear, except when clouded by disturbed brain circulation. Although unable to express hlnuelf in words, he recognized all th numbers of his fam ily up to within a few momenta of his death.

The four men who constitute the head of the nrovisinnal fovernment are of hi"h i p - . . - - - character, one having resigned a place on the bupreme bench to assume the po sition. The latest advices report the island in a state of tranquility. PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT. Mr. Mott Smith, the Hawaiian minis ter at Washington, has received an offi- cial dispatch confirming the report that the Hawaiian government had been overthrown and that the new commis sioners from the new government were . 1 . TTT 1 L t ' O on ineir way to vv asningiun iiom oau Francisco to ask that Hawaii be annexed to the United States. Mr. Smith is now at the state department waiting the ad- ..." . . i A vice or the secretary oi state oi me in formation he has received. The t-tate and navy department have been officially informed of the revolution. DEMAND OF THE PROCLAMATION. A special from San Francisco gives the following details of the revolution in Ha waii: 'The first intimation of trouble came on January loth, when the queen tried to get the cabinet to sign the new constitution that disfranchised all for eigners and put the whole government in the" hands of native politicians. The ministers refused, and when threatened by the queen fled for their lives. They returned later and induced the queen to postpone the coup. There was a little public meeting in front of the palace. the queen announced the failure of her plans and a native orator demanded the lives of the ministers. E rly in the evening the citizen met and lormed a committee of public safety. "On January 16th a mass meeting was held in the armory At about 5 o'clock p. m. the Uni'ed States steamship Bos ton landed 300 men fully armed. They marched to the office of the consul gene ral of the United States. The marines were sent to the American legation. while the sailors marched out along Merchant street with two Gatling guns and camped for a. while on private grounds. They stayed ashore all night. All dav Tuesday, the 18th, the commun ity was in a ttate of expectancy, looking to the committee of public Eafety to do something to end the tension. The com mittee in the meantime wa9 not idle, being incessantly occupied completing its organization and" completing the final arrangements necessary to the proclama tion of a provisional government and its protection by an armed force. 4 'In the meantime the committee on public safety, accompanied by members of the government about to be formed, proceeded to the government building. There a proclamation was read, of which points are as follows: "First. I he Hawaiian monarchical system of government is hereby abro- grated. "Second. A provisional government for concrol and management of public, affairs and protection of public peace is hereby established to exist until terms of union with the United States of America have been negotiated and agreed up on. ' 'Third, buch provisional govern ment shall consist of an executive coun cil of four members who shall adminis ter the executive department of the gov ernment with an advisory council of four teen, who shall have a general legislature for authority. ; "Fourth. All officers of tbe govern ment are to exercise their functions ex cept the queen, Marshal Wilson and the cabinet. The provisional' government and cabi net went to the palace and submitted their plan to the. queen. She refused at. first to yield, but finally returned to her country residence, her troops surrendered and the government was in the hands of: foreigners. The deposition of the queen was followed by the sending of the fol lowing named commissioners to Washing- ion to ncgouaie iu uic uuucu otaies government: Thurston, Castle, Wilder, Marsden and Carter. Air. Thurston was seen at the Occidental Saturday morning, lie saia : "ne snau start lor Washington to secure annexation to the United 8tates. We want no protecto rate and no republic. A republic would be worse than & monaichy, for ignorant Kanakas would rule. I may say that the foreigners are unanimously in favor of annexation as the only hope for Hawaii. The queen has been nursing her coup detat ever since she came to the throne. She wanted arbitrary power first. She secured the passage of the infamous lot tery bin, and then sprang a new consti tution upon tbem. which disfranchised all foreigners." JSO ANNEXATION PROBABLE. A lengthy interview was held Saturday between Secretary of State Foster and Dr. Mott Smith, Hawaiian minister, at Washington. At its close Secretary Foster went over to the white house and had a, conference with President Harri son. While, of course, no statement of policy to be pursued by the United States will be made, at least until after the arrival of the commissioners from Hawaii, who are to present the request for annexation to the United States. It may be said that the visit or the Haw- aiians will tanlly be successful, if the purport thereof has been correctly stated. Aside from an innovation upon tbe poli cy of the government since its organiza tion, which annexation would be, the in terests of other countries in the Sand wich islands are too large to permit, on the part of the govennent, of those na tions an acquiesence in such annexations. It would involve consequences that the United States would not care, and which its long settled policy forbids it, to as sume. TJSrrED STATES WAR VESSELS EN ROUTE TO THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. A San Francesco special says: The United States flagship, Mohican, with Admiral Skerritt aboirdL left Mare Island navy yard at 7 o'clock Sunday morning. She arrived off San Francisco in the afternoon andj proceeded direct to sea on her way to Honolulu. The Ranger is expected to leave the yard at any moment and the Adams will follow. For several months there has not been so much bustle and activity at the Mare Island navy yard as shown since the news was received announcing the overthrow of the monarchial government of Hawaii. The various heads of de partments were ordered to report imme diately at the commandant's office, and orders were issued to them to have tbe fl igship Mohican and the cruiser Ranger ready to steam away from the yard at once, and the Adams will be ready in forty-eight hours. THE NEWS IN ENGLAND. A London cablegram of Sunday says: The Daily News says of the Hawaii rev olution: "The ovei throw of the queen appears to be an American coup, Hawaii being the key to the whole group. The Americans, once they possess it, would have no difficulty in making themselves master of the other. Europe, however, has necessities in the same quarter, Hon olulu being the only coaling station on the mail route between San Francisco and Auckland." GROWTH OF THE SOUTH. Tlie Industrial Development in the Past Week. The review of the industrial situation in the South for the past week shows that the contin ued cold weather, and the consequent inter ference with river navigation and with railway traffic, has caused an unprecedented degree of buniness stagnation. Industrial development, though somewhat lessened, ha3 made progress, as is shown by the organization of the Coving ton and Erlanger Company, at Covington, Ken tucky, with $100,000 capital; of the Louisville Burburban Land Company, at Louisville, Ken tucky, $40,000 capital; and by the formation of a $ 50,000 coal company at Southport, North Carolina. Cotton mills at Jacksonville, At talla and Sycamore, Alabama; Rome and Pa nola, Georgia, and Hender on, North Caroli na; and knitting mills at Jacksonville, Florida, and Enterprise, Mississippi; electric light com panies at Sehna, Alabama, Waynesville, North Carolina, and Cuero, Texas, have been organ ized, and a tobacco manufactory, with $50,000 capital, chartered at Louisville, Kentucky. The Montgomery Cooperage Company, capital $50,000, of Montgomery, Alabama; and the Wheeler Furniture Company, with $100, 000 capital, of Houston, Texas, are among the wood-working plants reported for the week. Thirty-three nw industries were established or incorporated during the week, together with 4 enlargements of .manufactories, and 9 impor tant new buildings. Among other important new industries as reported for the week are brick works at Richmond and Lexington, Ky a can factory at Selma, Ala., flour and grist mills at Dixie, Ga., Advance and King's .Moun tain, N. C, and Alley, Tenn., a foundry is re ported at Chattanooga, Tenn., and locomotive ami car works established at Selma, Ala. A power company was chartered at Belton, Tex., and a bedding company and an oil mill at Waco. Texas. A Tobacco factory is to be bu;lt at Hender son, N. C, and among the woodworking plants reported for the week are 6aw, planing and shingle mills at Mobile, Ala., Clarendon, Ark., De Funiak Springs, Fla., ff altera ville, Ky., and Edenton and Raleigh. N. C. Water works are to be established at Cres cent City, Fla., and Barnesvilie, Ga. The en largements include a flouring mill at Abilene, Texas, an ica factory at Vicksburg, Miss., a cotton mill at Eufaula, Ala., and a carpet mill at CaiTOilton, Ky. Among the new buildings reported are business houses at Houston and Timpson, Texas, a hall at Conyers, Ga., resi dences at Augusta, Ga., ana ruenmonu. va., and a warehou-eat Walthourville, Ga.

A special cablegram from Caiio, Egyp', savs: Lord Cromer called upon the k he- dive Tuesday morning to inform him that me xiriiiou cauiuck u m crease of the British carrison in Egypt. The disnatch does not state how the khedive received the news, but no doubt is felt that it had a profound impres sion in dissipating any idea that Mr. Gladstone intended to abandon EevDt. Some surprise was expres sed at the news from Cairo that Lord Cromer had expressed him self so confidently in regard to the prompt suppression of any outbreak that might occur. His lordship is assured of the entire fidelity of the native Egyptian, army to the British cause, and with the British army of occupation co-operating with the native troopa it is Dene ve I that anv attemnt at insurrection win be promptly crushed. EFFECT OF THE STEWS IS FAXCE. The sensation in Fracce over the ac tion of thm British in Esrypt is increasing The course taken by England is, looked upon aa orovinsr the determination of Great Britain to persist in the occupation of Eirvnt. The newspapers unanimously call upon the government to vindicate the rights of France, Seven "Were Burned. An Indianapolis special says: The startling statement was made Wednes day morning, by a railroad official who claims to have the best authority for the itnnr (h.t unn TtfrSOnS, lncludinCT the passengers and train crew, were burned to death in a cafe car on the Big Four mart Wmn station Saturday mornincr. The railroad officials say seven deaths were caused by the original wreck, and not from the subsequent explosion of gas- olinfe Bishop Brooks Will. A Boston dispatch of Wednesday 8ajf , It is stated by members of his family that Bishop Brooks died without making any will. Tbe estimate of bis real and per sonal property cannot fall far short of $750,000. A successor to the late Bishop Brooks will be appointed at the Massa chusetts diocesan convention, which will ba held on Mar 3d. IN CONGRESSIONAL HALLS, Dally Mne.ol Eotn Houses ol am nitr-SecGni - Measures Discussed ana UHJs Massed By Our National Lawmakers. THE SENATE. In the senate, Wednesday, Mr. Hale reported from the committee on naval affairs an amendment ti be offered to the naval appropriation bill authorizing the contract tor tne construction of one bat tle ship of about 9,000 tons displacement, two armored coast defense vessels, ten gunboats of 800 to J,000 ton displace ment, and eight first-class torodo boats. The amendment was referred to the committee on appropriations. Mr. Faulkner introduced a bill fcr the ad mission of Utah as a state, and it was referred to the committee on territories. J In the senate, Thursday, on motion of Mr. iloar, the president was requested to return to the senate the act to provide for the punishment of officers on the high seas. The house concurrent reso lution for the assembling of the two houses of congress in the hall of the house of representatives Wednesday, Februrary 8, 1893 at 1 o'clock in the af- ternoon, pursuant to the requirement ot - - a m the constitution and the law relating to the election of president and vice-presi dent, was reported and concurred in.- Among tbe bills introduced and relerred was one of piving a pension of $50 a mouth to the widow of Dr. Elisha Kent Kane, the arctic explorer. Mr. Gorman offered a resolution for the appointment of a committee of three senators to make the necessary arrangements for the inau guration of tho president-elect on the 4th of March next. Apreed to. Mr. Faulkner gave notice that Saturday, February 18th, at 3 o'clock p. m., he would present rsolutions in relation to the death of his late colleague, Senator Kenna. The credentials of Henry Cabot Lodge, as senator from the state of Mass achusetts, beginning March 4th next, were presented and placed on file. The bill heretofore offered by Mr. Cate to re peal all statutes relating to supervisors of election and special deputits was taken from the table and referrexl to the judici- ary committee. Jir. uanaier ouerea a resolution, which was referred to the finance committee, instruct ing that committee to inquire into the existence and purposes of the whisky trust. An hour was devoted to the dis posing of unimportant bills on the cal endar, and then at 2 o'clock, the anti option bill came up. There were not many senators in the chamber during the debate, but those who were present wit nessed the remarkable circumstances of a state's rights democrat Mr. Mills, of Texas having his argument jigainst the constitutionality of the bill sustained by the stalwart republican, Hiscock, of New lork. Mr. Blackburn, noticing the ab sence of so many members asked for a roll call. A cull of the senate folowed,and,as a quorum did not respond, the senate, at 4:43 o'clock, adjourned. THE HOUSE. The house got into a parliamentary tangle soon after its meeting Wednesday morning and succeeded in doing nothing during the day. Mr. Kilgore, of Texas, is opposed to the bankruptcy bill and began filibustering against its considera tion. He had sufficient following to consume the day and thus killed the bill, at least for the present. The house journal wa3 read Thursday morning in an abridged form as usual, but Mr. Kilgore demanded that it be read in full, aud the sneaker directed the clerk to comply with the demancL Mr. Kilgore was afraid the committee on j-ules would report the special order for consideration, the bankruptery bill, but he evidently received private intelligence mat this would not be done, for in a few moments he withdrew his demand, re marking that he did not wish to inter fere with the appropriation bills if the house desired to consider them, as it did not seem to do Wednesday. Mr. McMii lin, from the committee on rule?, report ed back the Dockery resolution for the appointment by the speaker of the 52d congress of a commission of five represen tatives of the 53d consress to inquire into the status of the laws establishing the executive departments, and bureaus in Washington city. This was accom patied by a resolution referring the Dockery proposition to the committee on appropriations, with the authority to that committee to incorporate it in on of the appropriate bills. It has already been incorporated in the legislative bill with a modification making the composition of the commission three senators and five representatives. This action taken Trill preclude it from being struck out on a joint order. Tbe resolution was adopted. Mr. Dockery reported from the commit tee on appropriations that the legislative executive judicial appropriation bill had been placed on the calendar. The house then resumed, in committee of the whole, the consideration of the sundry civil, ap propriation bilL Some few obstructions were placed in the track of the bill, but none of them proved disastrous, and it made fair progress.The item of appropria tion for the survey of public lands was the chief object of attack, but Ho1. man kept his men in line. . and amendments looking to an increase of tbe appropria tion for this purpose from $100,000 to $200,000 and $869,000 were cleared by the aDProDriation committee cowcatcher. Without disposing of the bill the house adjourned. CAPITAI GOSSIP. Saturdav afternoon, in the house, was devoted to eulogies over the late Con gressman Stackhouse. of South Carolic Tom Watson of Georgia, and. Mr. Mc- i Tjinrin rsf Konth Harolina. were among I the eulogists and delivered speeches that attracted considerable attention and was the subject of much criticisim on the pan oi ine aemocr.w The senate spent four hours w eonw- . - j;eimr me diseussmfr toe uaj iu CACtUU v w ccoivM - nomination of Louis McComas, ex-secretary of the national republican commit tee, to be associate justice of the supreme court of the District of Columbia. When it came to a vote there was no attempt to filibuster, the vote standing 34 for con- firmation to 13 for opposition. Because of the failure to adopt the usual resolu tion notifying the president of tbe con firmation the result was not formally an nounced at the conclusion of the senate. The legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill for the fiscal year 1S94, as reported to the house Thursday. mkes an aggregate appropriation of $21, 677, 998. being $222 134 less than the amount carried by the bill for the current fiscal year, and $947,817 less than estimated.' The bill specifically provides for 10,616 salaries, being 118 less than the number provided for in the law for the current year. Department clerks who now work from 9 to 4 o'clock are hereafter to work 8 hours a day. The old fight between the house and the senate over clerks to sena tors at $6 a day is to be renewed, the committee leaving this appropriation out of the bill. Aa to Judge I imar'i Sacceutr. Will President Harrison appoint Jus tice Lamar's successor, or will he have the graceful delicacy to leave the ap pointment to President Cleveland? Everybody was asking and answering a question similar to the above Tuesday. The democrats, with few exceptions, be lieve that he will not be in a hurry to add another to the five-eighths majority on the supreme bench in the face of the early approaching democratic rule by an overwhelming majority. The democratic exceptions say that it is but right that he should take all tie advantages that cir cumstances give him. The republicans, with but few exceptions, say that he will certainly fill the vacancy and that he ought to do so. Enlocies In Congress. Att no short fcession has congress lost so much time by death as has the present one. Already seven days have been lost by the death of ex-members of the one house or the other. The first was on the death of Senator Gibson of Louisiana, on account of which both houses ad journed. The second was on the death of Senator Kena. who had been a member of the house. Both houses adjourned on the day of his funeral service in the senate chamber. No legislative business was transacted in either branch of con gress. When ex-President Hayes died both houses took an adjournment both on the day of the announcement of his death and the day of his funeral. When the death of Justice Lamar was announc ed both houses of congress took an ad journment, he having been a member of each house. Iier uesed by Senators. The senate had not been iu executive session more than an hour Saturday when Mr. Morgan announced the intelligence of the Hawaiian revolution to the senate. Although it could only be considered iu anjinformal mamer, debate was at once precipitated that occupied the greater -j part of the secret session Generally all seemed to favor annexation or the estab lishment of a protectorate. Strong prob ability of iLternational complication was urged in opposition to either scheme. I In the house of representatives there was strong feeling expressed by leading imocrats against annexation. At the same there was an equally unanimous opinion that no other nation should be permitted to step m and control the des- tinies of the island. The Monroe doc trine was again upheld as a cardinal principle in our foreign policy and as de manding the exclusion of European do minion over territory so near our own. "What could we do with it, and what a lot of trouble its affairs would give us," is perhaps a fair summary of the state ments made informally by members.
