Your fees are still way too low. The double spend warning is normal, Blockchain hasn't remove your transaction from their blockexplorer and hence that warning is normal.

You currently have two options.
1. Wait for it to be mined or contact another miner for help.
2. Remove the transaction from your Electrum manually and try to send another transaction which spends that UXTO.

For 2, follow the steps here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.17301306. Do it at your own peril, always make a backup.
I don't have remove the transaction from my Electrum manually option as my Electrum V 2.5.4 and there is no such this option. the transaction was confirmed today.Thank you for your help

You should update Electrum as version 2.5.4 is quite old and the newest version includes a lot of bug fixes and features that address fees a bit better. I definitely recommend you upgrade and ensure that Dynamic Fees are enabled for the best experience.

what are your fee settings under electrum? It's default set to dynamic. If you haven't changed this it is a bug.
