The Tnlentpf) Young Man Kxplres Suddenly at Washington from an Attack of l'noumoiila—Sketch of IIU Short hut Itemarkahte Career.

WALK 1211 IJLAINE IIKAII.

WASHINGTON*, .Tan. 10. Walkor Blaino, examiner of claims 111 tho State Departmeut.and oldest living son of tho IJon. James' 0. Itlaine, Secretary of State, died suddenly and without premonition at the family residonco in tho old Seward mansion facing Lafayette park at 8:20 o'clock Wednesday evening of acute pneumonia superinduced by an attack of the grip. Thoro wore with him at the timo of his death only his two unmarried sisters, Harriet and Margaret, though all the fam'ly except Mrs. Coppinger and J-iiues O. Itlaine, Jr., were in the house at tho timo, those absent from tho city having been hastily summoned here by telegraph. The end was painloss, life passing away while the sufferer, who had been delirious all day, was unconscious. Ho had been ill only a fow days, and his death is a sudden and severe shock to an unusually large circle of friends, who were not aware that ho was dangerously ill until Wednesday morning, whilo tho family, who were all devotedly attached to him, arc pnfctrated with grief at tho sudden and unexpected bereavement.

Dr. G. Lloyd Magruder, tho family physician, furnished last night the following statement of Mr. Blaine's sickness: Mr. Maine was attacked by la grippo on Friday evening last Tho malady was ushered in by a chiil, followed by high fever. Severe catarrhal symptoms immediately attacked both lungs. Thoso continued through Saturday and Sunday but in an ameliorated condition. On Monday improvement in tho left lung was noticed, though pneumonia congestion was present in tho right lung. On Tuesday all of the symptoms became aggravated, well-dovoloped pnuemonia supervened in tho right lung, accompanied by high fover and delirium, which continued until his doath, which occurred almost without premonition at S:20 o'clock and was duo to pulmonary effusion. Mr. Blaino, whilo comparatively strong, had not entirely recovered from tho acoidont of last spring by which his leg was brokon, and from an attack of malarial fover from whioh ho suilored during the autumn. Dr.* Magruder had in consultation with him Dr. Joseph Falior Johnson.

Tho news of Mr. lllaino's death quickly became known, and many friends callsd during tho ovoning to oxpross tholr sympathy. Tho President and Mrs. Harrison called very soon aftor Mr. Blaine's death, and Vice-President and Mrs. Morton came soon afterward. Justices Harlan and Gray, of tho Supremo Court, most of tho members of the Maine delegation, Representative Hitt and many others well known in official and social life also called.

Secretary Blaino and family are completely prostrated. This is tho third death in the family in a month. The first was that of Mrs. Blaine's sister, tho Secretary's brother followed and now Walker Blaine. No arrangements have fceqn made for tho funeral, but it is understood that thfe remains will bo taken to Augusta, Mo., to-night. [Walker Ulalne was bora In Augusta, Me., May 8, 1S55. Ho Ilrst came to Washington to live In 1X17. live years after his fathor's election to Congress. Ilo graduated from Yale lu 1870, aud from tho Columbia Luw School In Now York two years later.

He assisted his fnther in the work which devolved upon him when he became Secretary ol State, and on March IS last was nomlnuted by President Harrison examiner of claims In the State Department, and as such was legal adviser of the department and confidential repre soutatlvu of tho Secretary.

Mr. lllaino had assisted his father greatly throughout his political career, and was most closely and intimately associated with him in all bis plans. enjoying not only the groat affection of hts father, but hts complete coutldenco as welL He was a young man of markod attainments, great tact and ability. Tho regard in which he was lie Id wus shown whon his nomination to his last ofllco was sent In to the Senate, thai body, on motion of Senator Edmunds, doing him tho very unusual honor of conllrmlng the nomination at once without reference to a committee.)

CINCINNATI, Jan. 10.—The Medical Society and the Academy of Medicine, two societies composed of physicians, hold meetings Wednesday night and discussed tho grip. In both societies there was a marked division of opinion. Many held that that there is no Russian influenza in the city, but that what is supposed to bo. that is dengue or malarial fover, duo to the prcjcnco of a gulf climate and tho absence of frost. On tho other hand, others as strenuously argued that the prevailing disoaso is the Russian influenza in epidemic form.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONVENTION.

Two Hundred Di'loifateii, Representing Nearly Kvcry State and Territory, Pro*Mtt—Objcctn of tho

Organisation.

TLIK AKKO-AMKUICAX I.KAOUB. CHICAGO, Jan. 10.—The National convention of Afro-American Leagues was called to order in tho Madison ijtreet Theater at 10 o'clock yesterday morning by T. Thomas Fortune, of Now York. Delegates wero present from twenty-one States and the District of Columbia, but tho delegates from tho Stato Illinois more than outnumbered uju the rest. Altogether there wero 'JOS colored men in the theater when UIQ proceedings commenced.

Mr. Fortune is an editorial writer on tho New York Sun and the qditor of tho Now Y'ork Ago. For many years it has boon his ambition to form a National organization of colored men who should vote not blindly for party but wisely to secure their rights. Ilo has usually voted tho Republican ticket, but in tho last Presidential olection supported Cleveland. Ilo favors tariff reform.

In tho convention aro Democrats and Republicans, hut tho Republicans are very much in tho majority. Tho Democratic faction is under tho loadership of E. E. Coopor, tho editor of tho Indianapolis Freeman. Mr. Fortune was elected temporary chairman, and after ho had appointed a committee on credentials a recess was taken until 2 p. m.

Tho convention reconvened at 2 o'clock in Quinn ehapol on Fourth avenue. Tho principle business transacted during the afternoon was tho delivery of an address by Mr. Fortuno in which ho named as reasons justifying the Afro-American Loague tho almost universal suppression of tlio colored ballot in tho South tho universal and lamentable reign of lynch and mob law, of which colored men are tho victims, in tho South the unequal distribution of tho school funds tho odious and domoralizing chain-gang penitentiary systom of tho South tho almost universal tyranny of tho common oarrlers In tho South, which will not permit colored and white peoplo to ride in tho same cars, and tho discrimination practiced by thoso who conduct placos of public accommodation and amusement.

To do away with thoso wrongs ho Buggostod that the league should establish •n Afro-Amorican bank with branches all over tho country establish a btiroau of immigration for tho purpose of scattering colorod people moro generally over tho country establish a committee on legislation to watch Federal and State legislation and prevent tho passago of laws harmful to tho colored people to establish a buroau of technical industrial education to train the colored mon to becomo artisans, farmers and laborers, and to establish a bureau of oo-operativo industry whioh would stimulate tho business instinctof tho colored oltizen. In conclusion he said: "I speak aa aa Afru-Amerlcan Drat, Inst and all tho time, ready to stub to death uuy party whioh robs mo of my conlldoncc anil vote and straightway asks mo What I am going to do about It. AB lot tlio Republican party, the Prohibition party, tho Democratic party, I speak with tho wisdom of experlcncu when I declare tliut none of them cares a flg fur thu Afro-American further than It caa use him. If wc shall serve tho party, and the men, as Afro-Americans, who serve us best In tho present posture of our citizenship, wo shall fellow tho dlotatcs or tho highest wisdom and tho most approvod philosophy. It will bo sound policy on tho part of tho leuguo here assembled to loaro each local league frco to pursuo such political coursc In Its Immediate community as the best Interests of the ruco seem to dictate. In National uflairs It does not seem wiso for tho leaguo to commit Itself ofllolally to any party. Wo have served parties long enough without benefit to the race. It is now time for parties to serve us, It they desire our support."

A committee on permanent nffaira, ono member from each State, was appointed. and an adjournment until 10 o'clock this morning was taken.

In the ovoning tho delegates wore given a banquet in the First Regiment armory by the colored people of Chicago.
