Sherman in the Shadow of the Dark Valley. , HOPE ALMOST ABANDONED. NEW YORK, Feb. 12.—lt seemed “rednes- day morning as if the worst forebodings as to the result of lien. Sherman’s illness would be fulfilled. The old warrior had been growiu g steadily worse since Tuesday morning, reports to the contrary notwith- standing. Gen. Sherman rallied for a short time 'l‘uesday. but since then his condition has been worse. At 10 O’clock \Vedncsday morning Miss. Rachel Sher- man said that her father was unconscious. Dr. Alexander was with the patient at the tiiue. but. he. too. evidently became alarmed at the sick man’s condition. for Dr. Janeway was sent for in haste. Shortly after 10 o‘clock the general’s son, P. T. Sherman. said that his father was not then unconscious. The. general, he said. was growing weaker all the time, and the family was prepared for the worst. His father did not speak to any one who went to his bedside. From the son‘s tone and manner of speaking at the time it was inferred that be entertained but little hope of his father‘s recovery. Very Little Hope. Senator Sherman spent the:ight with his brother. and Mrs. Colgate Hoyt called at the house in the morning. Dr. Jane- way hurried 11p to the house shortly be— fore 10:30. lie examined the patient and reported that there had been no change in his condition. Gen. Sherman was grow— ing weaker with each moment. At 11 a. n1. Senator Sherman assumed charge of the general’s household. Dr. Alexander then stated that the patient was almost in a state of coma, although he rallied occasionally. “\Vhat are the chances of the general’s recovery?” was asked. “They are very slim,” was the reply. Further than that the doctor would not say as to the chances of recovery. From Dr. Alexander’s subsequent remarks, how- ever. it was inferred that he entertained no hope of the general’s recovery. Erysipcias and High Fever. "The patient is an old man,” he said, “and cannot possibly recover from this at— tack as easily as he did the first one.” Among those who called later in the day were Gens. O. 0. Howard and Thomas Ewing. Lieut. Treake and Mr. J. W. Wil— son. The genera-1’s only nourishment consists of small doses of whisky and milk. Dr. Alexander refused to state whether he thought the end would be a matter of hours or days. At. 1 o‘clock the condition of Gen. Sher— man remained much the same, although the doctors said there was some evidence of an improvement. It is stated that Dr. Alexander entertains no hope, although his friends have still faith in the strong constitution of the general to carry him through. 011 Wednesday night of last week Gen. Sherman went to the Casino in company with many army and navy officers, and caught a bad cold. Sunday was his seven- ty-iirst birthday, and during the day ery- si pclas developed, attended bya high fever. The disease spread rapidly, and his face is badly swollen and painful.

BRIEF DIE NTION. \Vhile a number of children were view- ing the ruins of the school house at New iioston. which had been burned, the chim- ney fell. striking Maggie Boyle, aged 10 years, killim,r her almost instantly. Tillie (,‘ragg. aged 10 years, was perhaps fatally injured, and John Young, a. boy, was seri- ously injured.

Soon after Feb. 18 the president will pro- claim a g'cciprocity treaty with Venezuela, and that will be followed by one with Mex- 100.

He showed E by minutes of 12 o’clock Military Secretary ! E. L. Judson appeared with a. blue en- 1 velope, and it was received and handed up ' ceedings to go on. by indisputable proof that his; administra two. had been cflicicnt and businesslike. ALBANY LEGISLATION. Proceedings in the Senate and in the ‘ Assembly. ALBANY, Feb. 12.—In the senate at twen- to the lieutenant governor. He opened it, looked puzzled and then ordered the pro- It transpired that the governor had writ- ten out- the appointment of Mr. Pierce as “banking superintendent” instead of su- perintendent of insurance. It was sent back and the senate went on with its busi— ness. Committee of the Whole was the order and the Republicans tried not to allow the committee to rise. The motion to rise was carried and the message as revised was read nominating Mr. Pierce for the oflice of superintendent of insurance. Mr. Jacobs moved immediate confirma— tion. - Mr. Fassett objected, saying the senate was in executive session. Mr. Jacobs called for his notice of sus- pension of rule 47, which allows the con— firmation in open senate. Mr. Fassett objected, but the chair ruled him out of order. Mr. Fassett called for the reading of the notice and it. was read. Mr. Fassett said that the notice was given before the nomi- nation came in and to expand it now by giving the notice play was in violation of rule 51, for the notice was broader than the action to be taken under it. The notice was of an omnibus motion, and he made the point of order that the motion of the senator from the Second was not in keeping with the notice. Mr. Jacobs said that the proceedings were entirely parliamentary, and that; no other way was open. The chair decided the point of order of Mr. Fassett not well taken. Mr. Jacobs then moved immediate con- firmation, and the senate confirmed Pierce‘s nomination by 17 yeas to 13 nays. In the Assembly. in the assembly the following committee reports were made: J udiciary—Mr. Taylor’s, requiring state- ments to be filed. in regard to the amount due on mortgages and asking for the re- peal of the act of 1890.

THE RUPTURE WIDENEI] N 0 Hope of a Compromise Between Parnell and the Seceders. NEGOTIATIONS AT AN END. The Anti-Parnellites Outwitted by Thei! Old Leader, Who Has Undoubtedly Strengthened His Position—The Kaiser Intriguing. Lox-110x, ~Feb. 12.—-Before the rising o: the house of commons Wednesday it wa.‘ known in the lobby that the Irish negotia~ tions that have extended over so many weeks had finally failed. Mr. John E Redmond, member for Wexford, and 2 strong Parnellite, was stopped at th( Euston Road station of the London and Northwestern railway early in the even ' ing when about to leave for Dublin. He and two other Nationalists, one 2 leading Parnellite and the other under. stood to be Mr. Thomas P. Gill, member for Loutb, who accompanied Messrs. Dil‘ 1011 and O’Brien in their American tour. then adjourned to the Euston Hotel where a conference lasting an hour was held. At this meeting a. memorandum wa.‘ drawn up which was subsequently taken to the house and handed to Mr. McCarthy It formally stated that the pending negotia- tions had been discontinued by Mr. Par nell and his followers, and all hope of com- ing to a satisfactory and honorable under- standing with the seceders abandoned. 5 The. member responsible for the state' ment of the above facts added that Mr. Gill had left London for Boulogne with 2 communication from Mr. Parnell address- ed to Messrs. O’Brien and Dillon to tht same effect. The Parnell faction has been greatly en couraged by the adhesion of Hon. Cecil John Rhodes, premier of Cape Colony. This fact is considered of great signifi- cance. both morally and financially, as Mr. Rhodes, a gentleman of wealth, is said to be prepared to give liberally to the cause. Meantime the anti-Parnellites had al- ready come to the conclusion that their old leader had proved too clever for the new 011(5, and that Mr. McCarthy had been beguiled into useless negotiations and much waste of time. Indeed toe only out come of the various Boulogne conferences seems to have. been a distinct widening oi the breach between the two factions. It is now clear that whatever purpose Mr Parnell may have had in en gagiu g in thest abortive negotiations he has been constant : 1y employed during their progress in strengthening his position. Opposition to King IVillimn. LONDON. Feb. 12.~—A Berlin dispatcl: says that the kaiser is accused, althougl ' not openly, of intriguing to put his brother- in—law, Prince Adolphus, of Shaumberg Lippe. on the throne of the important principality of Lippe-Detmold. whose rul. ing prince is likely to die soon without di- rect heirs, and leaving only an insane brother. Alexander, and two sisters, wh( . have sought the seclusion of conveuts Adolphus is in one of the lines of succes- sion, but a remote one, and in his owr family he is a younger son, without fort une or prospects, except as husband of tin . kaiser’s sister. The present Prince of Lippe-l)etmold i: about sixty—seven years of age. and is suf fering from a. severe illness. The aspirants for his throne are already active. and i111 perial authority may have to be appealed to in order to settle their disputes, and this would give the kaiser his opportunity tc forward the interests of Adolphus and put his sister. Victoria, on the throne of 2 German state. The kaiser, however, is not having his way altogether in Germany, as shown ii: the grand dnchy of Mccklenburg—Strelitz, where the veteran grand duke refuses tc pay any attention whatever to the cm» peror, and carefully refrained from doing ' him honor on the occasion of the emperor’s birthday, and declining since, as before, all invitations to the imperial court. As the grand (luchess is a member of the An- glo—Hanoverian royal family, it is pOSsiblt that the grand duke’s course is inspired by a recollection of Prussia’s suppression oi Hanovcrian royalty. In the rcichstag also the kaiser and his chancellor find that Prince Bismarck has 5 friends and admirers, and one of them; Herr Arendt, loses no pretext to praise the former chancellor and reflect. caustically‘ on the kaiser’s policy. Wilderbruch’s new play, entitled “Dex Neue Herr,” of which the. emperor warmly approved and in the product-ion of whict . he manifested a marked interest, has beer 5 coldly received by the “first night” audi f ence. The critics also generally condcmr 3 it. The play, in its argument, is largely 2 . defense of the emperor’s domestic policy , especially as that policy finds its excmpliii- : cation in the retirement of Prince Bismarck i from the chancellorship. Can Photograph Colors. PARIS, Feb. 12.—-The scientific world has been startled by the announcement made by M. Lippmann, professor of physics at the Sorbonne, that he has discovered 2:, method of photographing by which the colors of the solar spectrum may be repro- duced as accurately as the outlines 01 shadows are now fixed upon photographh negatives. The professor asserts that he has suc- ceeded in photographing a window stained , in colors, reproducing tints equal in bril- liancy to the original. A reporter saw a colored photograph of a stained glass win- i dow that had just been taken out of the - developing bath and was in splendid con. dition, the greens, yellows, reds and blues coming out perfectly. Defends Koch's Lymph. BERLIN, Feb. Iii—The idea that treat. ment with. the Koch curative lymph changcsa local tubercular affection intc one of general tuberculosis, owing to the tainting of the blood, is denied by Pro- fessor Bardelcben. Such a change, he de- clares, often occurs in children after tht ordinary operation for tubercular joints, and sometimes without the operation. ‘Von’t Have Association EmployeS. STEELTON, Pa, Feb. 12.—Eight employes of the Pennsylvania steel works at this place have. been notified that their services are no longer needed, becausg it is said, 01 their allegiance to the Amalgamated Steel association. It is said many more dis- missals will follow as soon as proof can be obtained against the men. The officials 01 the company have declared war upon all employes who have any interest in the as sociaaiou. ‘ AN EASY WINNER. Joe Goddard Whips Joe Choynski in 3 . Four Bounds. . SYDNEY, N. S. W., Feb. 12.—Joe God- dard, of Australia, and Joe Choynski, of ' San Francisco, fought at the Sydney Ath- letic club last evening at. catch weights for a purse of £500. Goddard defeated his _ antagonist in the fourth round. Goddard has fought many battles, and recently worsted Peter Jackson in an elght round contest with gloves. Choy- nski was beaten in a. contest with Jim Cor- bett in San. Francisco over a year ago, but was successful in a fight with Jack Fo- garty, of Australia. . Goddard claims that he got the best of l Slavin in a six round contest, which took i place about two years ago in Australia. ‘ This is denied by Slavin and his friends, Slavin claiming that he knocked his man out in the second round. In build and physique Goddard is the exact counterpart of Sullivan. He is regarded by Austra- lians as the coming champion of the world. The Unexpected Happened. ' CHICAGO, Feb. 12.—The stockholders of a. bank whi"h failed in 1877 for nearly $1,- 000,000, yet whose stock is today quoted at 170 with no sellers, ,met. yesterday at the Sherman house. The institution holding such a unique position was known four- teen yearsago as the Third National Bank of Chicago, and J. Irving Pearce was its president. The final meeting of the stock- holders was held toward th close of f 1877, when they were told that 1. air stock was worthless, as every cent of the capi- tal of $750,000 and the surplus of $200,000 had been taken to pay the claims that fol~ lowed suspension. Yesterday they were told by Receiver Huntington W. Jackson that he had been offered $1,000,000 for two tracks of land near Jackson park, which ; were saved from the wreck, but were thought almost worthless at the time. It has been decided to accept the offer, pro- vided the bid was not at once raised in other quarters where such a move was ex— pected. Newspaper Women and the Fair. CHICAGO, Feb. 12.—The women press de— partment of the Queen Isabella association was formally organized yesterday. The purpose of the organization is to secure the co-opcrntion of the newspaper women of the. country to provide a permanent head- quarters for newspaper women during the VVorld’s fair, where they may meet and be . of assistance to one another. It was agreed that the membership should be limited to editors, editorial and other writers, special correspondents upon the regular staff of reputable journals throughout the coun- try. And His Horrified Wife Saw It. KANSAS CITY, Feb. 12,—Henry Bantis— del, a laborer employed at Armour’s pack~ ing house, met a horrible death in full ' view of his wife, who had stepped to the door to wave him good—by. He had just left his home, and was running to catch a. passing train on the State street line. On the Santa Fe tracks his foot caught on a wire, and he fell forward on his face be— tween thc rails. Before he could rise a. switch engine struck the prostrate man ? squarely in the middle of the back and cut him in two. Quite a. Lively Little Time. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 12.~Editor:Jos eph Speyer, of The Kansas City Post, a German daily paper, while in a. saloon on Main street discussing the attack being made on the Turner society managed by The Post, was accosted by a stranger, who cursed Speycr and then opened fire on him with a revolver, but the proprietor of the salOon pushed the weapon aside and the ball struck a glass mirror. A general fusi~ ' lade by Speyer, the stranger and the pro- prietor followed, but the stranger made his escape. Pounded to Death with Pick Handles. MARQUETTE, Mich, Feb. 12.—-A row in a boarding house in this city resulted in the brutal murder of Michael Smith and the fatal injury of Michael Selka by Walenty Nowak and son. The N owaks and several ‘ other Poles were carousing on the second floor of the building. Smith and Selka went up to stop the fracas, when the N owaks set upon them with pick handles, pounding Smith’s body into an unrecog- nizable mass of flesh and injuring Selka so that he will die. Both the Nowaks have been arrested.
