QaestiooB Considered.
Dkxvek, May 20. The report of
the committee on resolutions of the
trans-Mississippi congress, which
was made last night, recommends
the congress to pass the Burrcgn
bill appropriating I0,lK)P,r 00 u,
the building and maintainance of
levees on the Mississippi river
and demands government super
vision. Tjion the silver question
it asks that congress be petitioned
to repeal all laws w hich, in their
etiect, worn tistionor upon, or in
the least challenge t lie sovereignly
ot the silver dollar as absolu
measure value and to restore to
silver the place given it as perfect
money by the framers of o ir gov
ernment. The congress also asks
the president and congress to at
tempt to bring around an inter
national recognftiou ami the ad
justment ot silver as money or
that a limited agreement be sought
wit Ii the nations of the latin
union, wheiebv the merits of those
nations may again be opened for
the coinage of silver. It also favors
negotiations with the Spanish
American nations for a committee
on currency for this continent south
of Canada. In the minority report
the silver clause simply demands
the free and unlimited coinage of
silver. The forenoon m-sshxi t-
dav was entirely taken up in the
discussion of the majoiitv report.
Ilie tine Iiftml of the Louisiana
lottery combination was mani

1 he vote stood !'5 to SO. The re
mainder of the dav was spent in
the consideration of resolutions.
All passed as reiiorted by the com
mittee, but a warm delate was
oiovoked by the question of the
.'overnment ced:ng and Unds to
the states and territories. A res
olution deploring the hnv of the
41l1i coiigiess prohibiting foreign
capital from iu.-esting in real
estate ami niiues was adopted. A
majority report on and lanos
urged the cession of arid lands to
the f-tatea in which they were hit
uated, and limiting individual
purchases to '!L'0 acres.
At the evening session the silver
rejxjrts were heard. The majority
favored the free and unlimited
coinage of silver, and the minoiity

Chili, and if the Itata had been
promptly overhauled and taken
back, that might be all right but
we have arrived at a different
stage of t'le game to-day, and we
ought to know all the facte. It
would be a most serious matter if
we should put our cruisers into
action at Iquique for the forcible

Xew York, Mav 22. The Her
ald prints a dispatch from Wash
ington which states that Secretary
Blaine is a confirmed invalid, and
his intimate friends fear a collapse
of his faculties that w ill shock
and distress the public. The dis
patch also says that the president
is lullv aware that in all human
probability Mr. Blaine will not be
found much longer at his place in
the administration. Ihe cones
uondent states that Mr. Blaine
has been greatly overwoiked in
the diplomatic part of his official
duties. His feverish ardor has not
periiiittd him to aiiixiition the
labors of his department among
Ins assistants in a degree voiiniion
to t.ie minister of foreign atlairs
in Europe. He has attempted
personally to deal with them out
and all. He recently showed the
ellects ot this great mental Krain
in conversation with the envoy of
a loreian power. A conterence
took place at the secretary ot
state's residence. For lif een or
twenty minutes Mr. VBlai:ie
evinced great interest in the sub
ject discussed, and then suddenly
became silent, moody and hypo
chondriacal. He was ill, at ease
and evidently desired to be alone.
He pleaded indisposition, and the
envoy left the secretary's home
with the conviction that the briet
show of vitaiitv could not have
been kept alive another two min
utes. 1 he dispatch savs, in con
clusion, the diagnosis is uniform
and universal that Mr. Blaine's
intellect has passed the stage
where it Hashes and then dies
awav till rekindled after a large
interval of renose, but it never
more burns with steadiness. Like
a victim of narcotics, he exhibits
nothing between nervous impetu
osity and complete mental lassitude.

prevent his engaging in another

moment's notice. Hank is what

he has married into the Umatilla
