CLEVELAND'S HEALTH. Hint That White House Reports Are Not Reliable. INVALID COUCH SENT HIM. Hope Expressed That He Wilt Get Oat During the Week — Removal From ■ Woodley — Congressman Bland Being Urged to Enter die Missouri Gubernatorial Race—Other Washington News. Washington, Nov. 28.—The white house people insist that the president is much better. It will be remembered that while Mr. Cleveland was painfully hobbling about the room £>me time ago this same veracious authority had him out squirrel-hunting. TJie fact, is the president is still badly Crippled, with rheumatic gout. An invalid’s couch has been sent to Woodley for his use. Its construction will enable him to sit upright, with easy rests for his swollen feet. It is hoped that he will be able to come to the white house before the end of the week in order to confer with the members of his cabinet on congressional matters, yesterday’s regular cabinet meeting having been omitted. The president and family will move in from the country for the winter as soon as it is found possible to do so. “SILVER DICK” BLAND. Being Urged Thus Early to Become a Candidate For Governor of Missouri. Washington, Nov. 28.—Congressman Bland is being urged to become a candidate for governor of Missouri in 1896. Lively correspondence looking to this end is going on between Washington and Missouri. It is deemed highly important by Mr. Bland’s friends that he authorize .an announcement of his intentions at once. Such action, it is argued, will give the apostle of fret! silver a clear field. The only other candidate likely to be before the convention is Judge Gibson of Kansas City. If Mr. Bland will consent to let it be known now that he is a candidate, his friends are assuring him that he will have to , make no canvass previous to the nominating convention. If Mr. Bland delays his friends fear the situation will be complicated by the of Congressman Hatch and Congressman Fyan as candidates. Herbert’s Important Recommendation. Washington, Nov. 28.—The most important recommendation made by Secretary Herbert in his annual report is that congress authorize the construction of three great battleships of about 10,000 tons displacement each, to cost, exclusive of armament, not exceeding $4,000,000 each, and 12 torpedo boats of from 100 to 300 tons each, at the discretion of the secretary, to cost not exceeding an averof $170,000.

CHlNA'Sllffl FLAG; She Sues For Peace Through United States Ministers. DAY OF THANKS OBSERVED. Health of the President Preclude, the Pre.ence of Guests at Woodley—Where Cabinet Member. Dine—New. of War Preparation. In Alabama—Hili’. Opposition to Income Tax—Other Newt. Washington, Nov. 29.—China has succumbed to the inevitable and has sued for peace. And her proposal will be presented to Japan through the United States ministers at Pekin and Tokio, thus promising a termination of the war, as the result in part, at least, of the exercise of the good offices of the United States. It is not possible at this time to learn the terms of China’s proposition as handed to Minister Denby, but it is probable that it provides for but two concessions—a money indemnity and a relinquishment of sovereignty over Corea. It is improbablß that the first tender will be acceptable, as such overtures rarely are, but this proposition will open the way to a counter offer of terms by Japan through Minister Dun and the negotiations, if successful and if they follow the usual course, will lead first to a truce under- proper guarantee, or a preliminary agreement to cease hostilities, and finally to the signature of a definite treaty of peace. Just how this proposition was brought about is not yet known. It is stated that the Japanese have refused to accept £40,000,000 and that they want £50,000,000 indemnity and all the expense of the war. WARLIKE PREPARATION?. Guns Brightened and Sabeip Brought Out For the Alabama Inauguration. Washington, Nov. 29. —A Montgomery, Ala., dispatch to The Star says: Notwithstanding the authorities here disclaim any alarm over the contemplated actions of Kolb and his threat to be sworn in as governor on Saturday, there are warlike preparations going on in the city. Two loads of sabers have been sent around to police headquarters and guns are being brightened up in the military armories. Not only this, but the military of the state, has been “invited” to be present at the state’s expense to attend the inaugural ceremonies and there are other indications that the authorities are expecting trouble with Kolb and his crowd. The Koibite members of the legislature are sullen and silent. Kolb reiterates his purpose to be sworn in and says; “If there is any trouble I will not lie responsible for it. I will adopt only peaceable means to secure my rights.” PRESIDENT AND CABINET. How They Are Spending Thanksgiving Day—No Gues to at Woodley. Washington, Nov. 29.—The president and Mrs. Cleveland and the children are spending Thanksgiving day quietly in the seclusion of their country home at Woodley; There have been no guests, as the president is in no mood for entertaining. Secretary and Mrs. Gresham will dine quietly at the Arlington.

Mrs. Lamont is spending the day with friends in Elmira, N. Y., and the secretary is on a train between New* York and Washington. Secretary and Mrs. Smith will take dinner at home and will have as guests a number of Georgia friends, including a large number of children. SENATOR HILL. He Has Not Yet Given Up Hope of Defeating the Income Tax. Washington, Nov. 29. —Senator Hill has not entirely abandoned hope of saving the country from the operations of the income tax law. As soon as congress meets Secretary Carlisle will ask for an appropriation of $500,000, needed to put the law in working order Jan. 1. Without this extra appropriation, says the secretary, the law would be practically a dead letter. Senator Hill will oppose the appropriation. He, will be aided by Senators Murphy ana Smith and possibly a number of Republican senators. The house will pass the appropriation very promptly, but unless the senate rules are amended the bill may be delayed indefinitely by dilatory warfare, so common in the senate. Secretary Morton’s Report. ■ Washington, Nov. 29. — Secretary Morton’s report for the agricultural department is a lengthy review of affairs, a large part being devoted to current troubles with foreign governments over the importation of American products.

Fortunate Termination of a Perilous Adventure. About a year ago Will Jackson, it may be remembered, was nearly gored to death by a savage buck in the Page wire fence company’s deer park, just northwest of the city. Last bunday Elmer Tabor, who came here from Des Moines with some trained elk, a short time ago, and entered the employ of the Page company • passed through a similar, though less severe experience. Mr. Tabor went out to the farm to show the herd of deer and elk to a traveling man. In the center of the park is a pond. The two gentlemen stood on one side of it, while directly across from them was an old buck, who has never been noted for his amiability. He was not particularly pleased at the sight of visitors on this occasion, but he came around to greet them nevertheless.' His demeanor did not inspire the guests with much confidence in the hospitality to be accorded them, however, aud Mr. Tabor was soon defending hiuiself against the stag with his walking stick. The cane was broken before the animal ceased to manifest his desire for a closer acquaintance, and the particular object of his attention found himself obliged to protect himself with a club, which he picked up from the ground. The formidable nature of this weapon only served to incite the buck to fiercer action, and an exciting battle ensued. The buck charged again and again, finally felled bis opponent, andtben lifting his defeated foe upon his antlers carried him about twenty feet and th Jew him on the ground. The savage brute then renewed bis vicious attack, and would have un doubtedly killed his helpless victim had not the traveling man come to the rescue by grabbing the buck by the hind legs, throwing him over, and holding him fast until Mr. Tabor could regain his feet. Then the two men’took a handkerchief and tied the animals feet, after which they hastily made thair escape. People who value their lives will do well to keep away from the deer park. It would not be amiss to offer the suggestion th,at skating on the pond in the park this winter is liable to prove very unhealthy—Adrian, Michigan Times. It was Mr. C. D. Carr, »f this city, who. was with the sbove named gentleman and vouches for the truth of the above, only says that it is drawn mildly by the writer, and that it was stiort work for them to get out of the park never more to visit it again.
