JHfhat AM Undoubtedly Hla Lsat Honrs. $£•! NEW YOBK, N. Y., March 30.—After iDr. Douglas left General Grant Saturday evening, the patient sufferer did not fall asleep. He lay quietly for an hour or two, when his breathing suddenly became difficult. His servant gave him a glass of water,£n the hope of finding relief, but the effect of swallowing the water was unsuccessful, and resulted in choking the patient, whose coughing fit ft"* became so violent as to alarm Colonel

Grant. A carriage was dispatched in haste for Drs. Shrady and Douglas. The members of the family were also summoned to the general's room. The throat trouble had become very painful and alarming. The physicians reached th house shortly after 2 o'clock. The physicians were still with General Grant at 3:45 yesterday morn*vs ing. The object to which they directed their energies for an hour previous to jJSj' that time was to induce sleep. General |s Grant's throat was cleared and the fit of coughing stopped. Dr. Barker was not summoned, and this fact was interpreted as a sign that no further danger was immediately apprehended. General

Grant's condition yesterday was more unfavorable tliah for some time past. He took very little nourishment to day. The usual weekly consultation of physicians was held yesterday afternoon, and the general opinion was that he was not so Trell. Dr. Douglas has been at the house *fll day, and remained during the night, j* Gen. Grant's condition this morning is quite critical. He is failing, very rapidly, and, in the opinion of Dr. Douglas, may not live more than twenty-four -t hours.

NEW YOIIK,"March 30th—1 -.30 p. in.—

,j Gen. Grant's condition at this hour is

vsaid

to be very precarious. No one is admitted to the sick room except the sa doctors and immediate members of the family, and Harrison, his body servant.

Hundreds of friends called to tender sympathy but were not admitted, the physicians asserting that absolute quiet was imperative at the present stage of the wi, sase. The doctors decline to give an opinion. Everything points to the fact the general has but a few hours to liv*.

Mark Twain who is interested in the firm which is publishing General Grant's book, called at the house in a coupe. He alighted from the carriage and was met at the foot of the steps by Harrison who told him of the general's condition. Twain did not enter the house. The rumor on the street is now that Dr -Douglas stated that General Grant would toot live twenty-four hours. 4 p. m.—The very latest reports rep--resent him as much worse. lit At 4:30 p. in. Dr. Douglas returned to

General Grant's house and after being .• with the general about fifteen minutes ^issued thefollowing bulletin: "General Grant is free from pain and takes liquid food at regular intervals and as well as /osual. He is not as strong and is showing more feebleness of body."

Prompted by curiosity many persons strolled through Sixty-sixth street during -the afternoon, stopping in front of General Grant's house to gaze at the buildIng. The shades of the front parlor winft^dows were lowered all day. The inner ^blinds of the general's sleeping room were shut with the slats open. About 3 o'clock the general's wife stood for some minutes at the window on fefthe third floor, and after looking for some S|minutes at die watchera below withdrew Sfrom the shade and closed the shutters. '•The curtains in the general's library ion the study were rolled up all day, and the ladies of the household were several times seen in the room. Harrison, the general's personal attendant, once came out to mail papers and letters at Sixtysixth street and Madison avenue. A watcher inquired as to the general's condition. "He is •H Setter, 1 fear," was the reply, §t"If you break your leg and it pains you j|very much you know it is broken, but .©even if the pain is less for the time the 'ibresk is there all the same. The general -/has felt easier to-day, but I fear is really sfl no better." Liveried messengers rang the 5^ bell' at short intervals throughout the |§day. Personal messaeesof sympathy and inquiry were constantly coming from the friends and interested persons in the city and out of it. A gentleman who called at 4 o'clock with extraordinary k* anxiety to see Colonel Fred Grantor i" Colonel Badeau was told the members of the family must deny themselves to all. & "Those are our imperative instructions," fe said the servant at the door.

At 4:15 p. m. Dr. Douglas returned to the house after a short absence. After }.•he had been within a half hour he re-en tered his carriage to visit another patient.

The doctor was asked if he thought the !•$ end would come during the nignt. In answer he said "I think not but the general is passing through flthe stages incident ease ^ind frankly

to the disI cannot tell

of the end will "come to-night. The general is growing weaker and weaker.' These words were spoken without reserve, and carried conviction to the hearers which none of the bulletins had done. Dr. Douglas returned from his calls after an absence of about an hour. He had come back to remain all night. Dr. Shrady toon joined him for the same purpose.

At (J p. m., Romero, Mexioan minister, called at to use. His stav was short. When asked, on Fifth avsnas, aboat the gen

S#^

eratand the outlook, he said: "Of coarse, too one can foretell with certainty. The disease until recently was within the power of the doctors, but now has gone quite beyond them. The general may five ten days, and he may die in two hours. I fear he is going to choke to death. If the disease reaches the artery the danger of choking is increased, and death by that means becomes almost inevitable." "The members of the family are now at the General's bedside. The doctors are there, too, but they keep back as much as possible. I fear the General will choke to death. It is too bad." Thns spoke Senor Romero.

In response to inquiries Drs. Douglas and Shrady sent out the following bulletin

At this moment (7 p. m.) General Grant is very quiet. His temperature and poise are .about normal. He has taken his liquid food regularly and well and in the usual quantity.

He is more silent than usual, and has made no exertion of any kind to-day. He gives the impression o{ being weaker, whloh is not indicated in the poiseil:20 p. mi—No ohange in the condition of General Grant. He is somewhat weaker if anything. The temperature and poise are normal. He has taken liquid food in the usual quantity to-day.-10:15 p. m.—General Grant is somewhat easier than at the last report. He continues very weak.

Between 8 and 9 o'clock the following message was sent from the house of General Grant: "To Schuyler (b-otby, 1780 HStreet, Washingion, D, C. "My father is suffering less than he was yesterday, bat is still very weak. [Signed] "MRS. SABTOBIS."

Crosby is an ex-governor of Montana. At 8 p. m. the Rev. Howard Henderson, delegate from the Newark, N. J., conference, called at the house with the resolutions of sympathy, and hoped for his improvement, fie was told the general was very low. At 9 o'clock Mr. Purvington, the counsel tor U. S. Grant, jr., was admitted to the house. He carried a volume and a black satchel. On leaving, he told inquirers that he eou'd speak of nothing he knew of within doors.

At 9:15 the Rev. John P. Newman and Senator Leland Stanford, of Colorado, gained entrance. When ascending the steps Dr. Newman said that when he left the general, at 7 o'clock last evening, the Eatient

was sitting up but was weak,

he clergyman did not anticipate a speedy death. Gen. Adam Bad^® ien. Grant's for mer military secre is an inmate^of the Grant house. Oil 'reliable authority it is stated that Gen. Grant had recently expressed the wish that Gen. Badeau should become his literary executor. The family had a policeman stationed before the house to prevent further ringing ot the bell and keep away all inquirers. At 9 o'clock this dispatch was sent:» To Col. F. 8. Dent, Washington, D. C.: 5

badly. say." At 10:35 Dr. Douglas stated eral was feeling a little better.

At 11:55 Dr. Douglas and Col. Grant left the house for the night, it being considered necessary for only Dr. Shrady to remain. Dr. Douglas snid the general had just retired, and was very comfortable. A little morphine had been given to induce sleep. The general had been improving all day up to the present, and betterment had been continued all the evening. He had been chatty and bright, conversing with the family and physicians. His pulse and temperature were very nearly nominal. He had slept five hours within the twenty-four.

At midnight the vestibule doors were locked and within the next hour all the lights were put out except one in the li brary and one on the top floor.

i^fcrch 31, 2:45 a. m.—At 1:45 an effort was made to get a bulletin about the condition of General Grant, but the reporter was unable tp gain admission to the house, and no one inside would come out. As the house remains dark, as stated in an early dispatch, it is not thought a change has taken place in the condition of the general, njgfs

From the Tribune of Tuesday morning "General Grant has expressed him' self as being entirely in his physicians' hands and said he wosid do whatever suggested by them. Nothing whatever is kept from him in regard to his condition and he was informed of its seriousness and probable termination. He received the statement that there were indications of speedy end without change of exi*® pression, but did not say anythin, about his feelings. He has know: for sometime that the disease was sure ti kill and has been ready at any time to go. Dr. Douglas said: "He has no appetite, but he eats when the food is brought to him. The feature of the day is great weakness. He is growing weaker and weaker. I do not«know whether he fears a recurrence of the spasm in the throat or not. He has not said anything about it. That was one of the changes incident to the proress of the disease. Minister Romero said .ate to-night: "As soon as the disease reaches the artery it Will createhemoyhage and he is so weak he can not expecto rate the blood out, it will choke him to death. He cannot endure another attack like Saturday night The family fear the worst and keep near his bedside although as much out of sight as possible. There is a great swelling on the side of his face."

From the World of Tuesday: "'Mark Twain called at the house between 12 and 1 o'clock. He was the only visitor outside the relatives and family who was admitted. In. order to' avoid the inconvenience of answering the bell cord, a basket was suspended from the door knob, and numerous callers took the hint and left their cards. Colonel Fred and Jesse Grant remained with the General all day. He talked to them, at times but the conversation seemed to wear him. The general's wife scarcely lei his room. She stole out at intervals in

order that he would not see her weeping. At 1 o'clock the man in a clerical suit hurried up the front steps and rang the bell. He informed the servant he was the Rev. Dr. Jackson, a Methodist preacher of Lynn, Mass., to see General Grant, but was refused admittance. To a World reporter he taid that he had oom* all the way from Lynn sxprassly to

Dr. Shrady, consulting physician, thinks General Grant might rally from the attack and live some time, as the recent disturbance was the result of trouble in the head and not from an aggravated form of the disease. 1 a. in.—At 11:45 Senator J. B. Chaffee left the Grant residence. He said: The general had just been put to bed, and that as compared with his condition twenty-four hours ago, the general was better. When asked if the doctors considerc him out of danger, Mr. Chaffee replied he could not Bay that such was the case, but that the present condition was more favorable.

see General Grant and was much disappointed because he bad not been allowed' to see his old friend. A member of the Grant house in conversation with a World reporter said: "Gen.Graht beverdoubtednewas dying. He knows the progress of the disease as well as the physicians, and he awaits die final summons with the stolidity for which he is, noted Perhaps his only regret is he caniiot be allowed more time in order to satisfy himself about his books. He expects to die and hat no fear. He thinks that after his death he will be better appreciated, and that he will be better understood by son)e future generation than by this."

The Saturday High! Attack.

Mew Tork Special. It turns out that there was ample cause for«alarm when Gen. Grant's iamily suddenly sent for the doctors last night. The general had gone to bed at 10 p. m., having taken a sleeping potion. He had seemed pretty well in th* evening, and had gone [to bed with no symptoms of a relapse. When Col. Fred Grant came to the door half an hour after midnight to dispatch a messenger for the doctor, he was evidently alarmed. It was learned that the accumulated secretions in the general's throat were disturbing him so that he could get no sleep. It was said that his sufferings were so intense before the physicians overcame them that he had to be held in bed by attendants. "I can't stand it," he cried at one time "I am going to die."

It was not until 2 o'clock that Dr. Douglass and Dr. Shrady arrived in a yellow cab. The house door was opened for them before they had got up the steps. The cab was sent away at 5:15 by a member of the household, who said that General Grant had passed a wretched night and felt miserable. The physicians had been in close attendance all night. Drs. Saflds and Barker drove up to the house in a carriage about 2 o'clock this afternoon and were present at the usual Sunday consultation. It lasted half an honr, and the two doctors went away immediately afterward. Dr. Sands declined to speak abou^ the case. Dr. Barker was asked if it were true that the general was in a dying condition. "No, I think not," he replied. "He had a spasm of the throat last night. There was an obstruction between the nose and the throat. He had great difficulty in breathing, and for an hour or two was in a pretty tight place. But he is relieved now. Of course it has left him weaker." "Then you don't think there is any immediate danger?" "No, I think not, unless some casualty occurs. Of course, casualties may occur."

Drs. Douglas and Shrady remained constantly by the bedside until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and then retired to their homes. It was reported after they left that the patient was under the influence of an anaesthetic. "The general's condition," a member of the family said, "is so bad that we should have sent for the other doctors ourselves to-day had there not been a consultation. He is very weak now."

XHE POLICE COMMISSIONERS.

Tlielr Regular Monthly Meeting—Beport of the Superintendent. The police commissioners held their regular monthly meeting to-day. The report of the superintendent wqs made. It was qqite lengthy.

They Speak English Only. WASHINGTON, March 30.—Mr. Plhdleton has been lucky in securing Senator Stanford of California as a tenant for his Washington residence during the full term of the latter, at a generous rate.

Unfortunately Mr. Pendleton does not speak German or French, and hence he will find embarrassments at Berlin in official matters, aside from social intercourse, that must be very annoying at the outset of his diplomatic career.

Mr. Bayard and Mr. Potter, first assistant secretary of state, are also deficient as linguists, and must transact business with foreign ministers who are ignorant of English, through an interpreter, which is not pleasant for either side,

ROUTED BY CHINESE.

General Negrlors' Army Compelled to Kvaonate Xangsou With Serious loss. PABIS, March 30.—An official dispatch from General Briere De L'Isle, dated March 28, was received at the war Office to-day, detailing further, disaster to the French forces in China. The Chinese attacked the French at Kilua and drove them from their position with serious loss, the French falling back upon Langson pursued by the Chinese. A determined stand was,made atLangson, where the fleeing army was reinforced by the French troops occupying that place, and a desperate battle was fought of several hours' duration. The French were finally compelled "to retire from Langson, leaving the Chinese in possession of that city.

General Negriers was dangerously ounded in the chest. The total number of killed and wounded is very large. General Negriers' army is now in foil retreat and closely pursued by the Chinese.

General De L'Isle implores the government to send reinforcements at once. The news of General Negriers' defeat and retreat from Langson caused great excitement. A council of war was held this afternoon, but nothing is known of its deliberations. It is .understood that large body of troops will be at once i' patched to reinforce General De L'Isle.

As a result of the cabinet council today, Premier Ferry will ask a vote of credit for 200,000 francs, with which to arm and equip a large army to reinforce General De L'Isle.

PARIS, March 30.—The city is in a ferment over rumors to the effect that war will formally be declared against China to-day and an active and vigorous campaign, ou i, much larger scale, be commenced in the latter country at once. The report can't be traced to an official source, but it iB believed the ministry have determined to adopt more vigorous measures in dealing with the Chinese.

The council of ministers this morning was presided over by Grevy in person. After an excited discussion, it was decided to ask the chamber for a credit of 200,000,000 francs to immediately mobolize two' full divisions of the armv service in Tonquin. Courbet's fleet will be reinforced at once with 10,000 sailors, marines and several more Vessels of War.

The vote of credit for $40,000,000 was defeated, 308 to 1G1, and the cabinet at once resigned. President Grevy accepted the resignations. Anew ministry will at once be formed.

It is generally expected De Freycinet, at present senator, or Ribort, the great French jurist, and now member of the chamber of deputies, will be called upon to form anew ministry. It is also believed that Waddington, the present French ambassador, will be tendered the office of minister of foreign affairs, in place of Ferry, and that Leon Say, the great political economist, will be'asked to accept the post of minister of finance in the new cabinet.

Large crowds surrounded the French chambers all the afternoon, but up to 6 m. no hostile demonstration was made.

PARIS, March 30.—The excitement caused by the French defeat at Langson grows apace. The rentes at once responded to the popular feeling and soon after the opening of the house they had fallen from eighty francs to 32A centimes, the closing price of Saturday, (o 78 francs 20 centimes. Shortly before 3 o'clock there was another sharp decline of price, falling to 76 francs 90 centimes. This decline was due to the rumors of popular manifestations being made outside the chamber of deputies. The stocks declined more or less in sympathy with the downward movements of the rentes. The action of the government is awaited with anxious suspense and every rumor is ea^erly'caught and repeated with fresh additions. The Radical Intransigeant, Rochefort's paper, demands Ferry's head for the blunders which have cost the French the loss of so many lives in Tonquin.

ENGliA.Nl) AND RUSSIA.

Better Feeling, and Prospects for Peace Good. LONDON, March 30.—A much better feeling prevails this morning in political and financial circles. On the apparendy well founded rumor that the negotiations are in progress at London and St. Petersburg may result in a peaceful solution of the Afghan question. At I o'clock consols showed an improvement of onesixteenth per cent., and other securities were firmer.

In the house ot commons this evening the Marquis of Hartington, secretary of state for war, said the latest news the government had revived from St. Petersburg were to the effect a peaceful solution of the Russo-Afghan question was more promising than at any time since the trouble arose. Additional extensive orders have been sent to Chicago meat packing establishments. It was impossible for English firms to compete with Americans. The report that hundreds of tons of American meat have been found to be putrid were, he said, untrue.

LONDON, March 30.—Russian securi ties are much stronger. In commons Hartington, stated that it would be prejudicial to public interests to explain the negotiations "with Russia. The latest from St. Petersburg strengthens the hope of a satisfactory solution of the difficulties. Concerning the military preparations Hartington said England was under certain obligations to the ameer of Afghanistan, and the government thought it advisable to render ourselves able to fulfill the obligations if the occasion arose. *FiUmaunce, under foreign secretary, said he was not yet aware of the contents of the latest St Petersburg dispatches but understood they contem plateau early meeting of a boundary com mission. Indignation at Hiss Vsti Zandt's Treatment.

PARIS, March 30.—Paris begins to feel the5 shame of the manifestation made against Miss Van Zandt at the Opera Comique on Thursday, and even Alexan

dre Dumas, who is no lOyer of Americrns, is furious akiut it Miss Van Zandt also finds a'warm defender in Sara Bernhardt, who denounces the inf amotu treatment the gifted'American signer has received. Le Uanlois in a caustic article, calls the youth of Pans-a set of monkeys, and Le Figaro deplores the treatment die lady has Jseen subjected to. American residents are projecting the formation of a body guard ^o protect the prima donna from raturd outrage, and to chastise any of thd blackguardly.boulevardiers should they renew their insults. Miss Van Zandt:-has been so affected that she has been anable to sleep she nevertheless hopes posing again in Paris, bnt not until vein? henoe. M. Carvalho has released Miss Van Zandt without indemnity. He said he owed the prosperity of his theater to her, and regretted her departure.

A spy fttmj Tamai reports Osman Digna deserted by almost his entire force, Only about 100 followers remaining with him. A large convoy arrived at the zereba on the Tamai road, and was not molested en route.

Cholera Again JSatses Its Head. MADRID, March 30.—A serious outbreak of a disease resembling cholera has occurred at San Felipe deJativa, province of Valencia. .Fifteen persons have died within twenty-four hours of colic, with choleraic symptoms. The report has spread that the province ia threatened with a1 return of- the cholera epidemic, which would complete the ruin caused by the earthquakes. The people are panic-stricken and are begging further assistance from the government.

Seventy People Drowned. SHANGHAI, March 30.—The Tui&i»a steamer "Orestes," from Liverpool for Penang, collided with f-.nd sank a Chinese steamer. Seventy persons were drowned.

Commissioner Roedel and County Attorney McNutt came over and impressed us with the necessity of having the bill ed, and how it would leave them if it was not passed. I went to Hanlon and said, 'I know you have an important bill, Tom, but this is very important, to us.' I explained to him how essential it was for the bill to pass. He said, 'You take my bill and tack it on to Vigo and I will put your bill on to Floyd.'" "That made quite a difference in the time of its being calledTup the positions of and in the alphabet are quite different," said a bystander. "Well, I should say it did. It was only a short time before the adjournment of the regular session, and the time when Governor Gray was declaring that he would not call an extra session. The bill ied, and the commissioners released rom their embarrassment." "Do you think he will remove the revenue office?" the reporter asked Mr. Butz. 'No O, no! He will not think of that. I Bhould not be surprised to see him make Terre Haute his home." "Mr. Butz continued to talk about Mr. Hanlon, and referred to his actions as chairman of the railwav committee. "He does not believe in wild legislation. For instance, there was a bill to compel passenger trains to stojl every two miles, and to compel the railroads to build a plank platform at every alterntite section line where the trains were to stop. That bill was indefinitely postponed. There was a bill compelling railroads to make a certain kind of fence, which was to be alawlul fence, and if stock jumped the fence and got killed, the owner would not be remunerated. That bill was also indefinitely postponed, as was also a bill compelling freight trains to carry passengers. "When will the legislature adjourn the reporter asked. "I think this will be the last week."

The president sent in the batch of nominationryesterday made Friday too late to reach the senate. While the name of Oscar Henderson, for collector of the Eleventh district, was in the list, Mr. Hanlon's, as collector of this, the Seventh district, was omitted, ft is known to be a fact that Hanlon's name was in the list Friday. Mr. Crawford Fairbanks is

Washington, and that, coupled with the fact that Mr. Sankey was telegraphed to come to Washington and started Friday, leads politicians here to surmise that great pressure has been brought to bear on Mr. Cleveland and Senator Voorhees, and Mr. Hanlon's name has been withheld for to-day at least.

The Hon. John E. Lamb was seen by an Express reporter. He sated he could not surmise wnat the withholding of the name indicated.

Crawford Fairbanks, who is in Washington, looking after the matter, telegraphed late Friday evening to ex-Congressman Lamb that Hanlon had been appointed. That dispatch to Mr. Lamb is the sple information received in Terre Hante on the subject, and is the foandation of all reports and publications made here in regard to it. The dispatches which will come to the Gasette this afternoon, subsequent to this writing, will show whether or not Col. Fairbanks is a good guesser.—I Gazette.

Col. Fairbanks guessed very accurately as to Henderson for the Kokomo district, whose name was also mentioned as one ef those in the batch. Mr. Hanlon has arrived in Indianapolis from Wash iogton, and yesterday told an Evening News reporter that his name would be sent in. The Gazette y^jterday, in another place said, regarding the rumor that San key would be appointed postmaster:

Nor has any private message of this tenor been, received by the Western Union Telegraph company. St ill, the rumor is everywhere, and a Gazetteer sought Mis. Sankey st her- home •on Poplar street late this afternoon to leant if

she had heard anything. Mrs. Sankey said her husband left for Washington Friday afternoon aojl, according to his castona telegraphed her immediately after his arrival. This was late Saturday night and the message was delivered Snnday morning. It simply states that he had arrived safelv and had met IA. Crawford Fairbanks

Now here is a cue or it is not. Taking it for granted me waaette would not make a point blank statement as to private messages that pass over the Western Union company a wires unless it knew the full import ef what it is saying, there, is. left but one thread of evidence. Col. Fairbanks, we know by the nomination yesterday of Henderson, guessed one name rightly. If he guessed both he did his guessing on Friday. The Gazette says Mr. Sankey left on Friday for Washington, and on his arrival telegraphed to his wife that he had arrived and had "met Mr. Crawford Fairbanks." Did Col. Fairbanks telegraph him to come to Washington the same' time he telegraphed his "guess" to Mr. Lamb. If so, did he think his guess was so good that Sankey's presence was necessary to permit the name of Hanlon being sent in yesterday? Sankey arrived in Washington Saturday night In telegraphing the news of his safe arrival he thought it-worth while to nse the wires to notify Mrs. Sankev that he had met Mr. Fairbanks. Without prying into M/v Sankey's domestic affairs, it is reasonable' to conclude that Uiere was a significance in his being able to ifteet Mr. Fairbanks, which Mrs. Sankey, from previous information, would appreciate. Now, once more and then let's meditate on the many slips between being appointed to office and being dropped from consideration by the powers that be: were those few minutes which recorded the period of time elapsing between the adjournment of the senate on Friday and the arrival of that batch of nominations fatal to Hanlon'i

WHO THEY ART!.

Indianapo|j# News. The n6ws of the appointment of Senator Magee as minister to Sweden and Norway spread rapidly this afternoon, and the gentleman was congratulated upon every side upen this deserved recognition, and the warmest greetings came from per sons differing with him politically. He was found at the Hotel Denison by & News reporter, and, in the interview, Mr. Magee said that h^ was an applicant for the consul-generalship Copenhagen, and' his selection for a place stfll higher was sufpise, and it was something of which he id not dreamed. If was his purise to accept, although he had grave doubts of his ability for so important a trust. It is something of a coincidence that Senator Magee came here twenty years ago, during the spring vacation of the state university, with but $20 to his name, and through the influence of ex-Senator McDonald lie was given the news editorship of the Daily Sentinel, where he remained for about two years, having in the meantime been made edi-tor-in-chief. He then returned to his old hon\p, at Logansport, and in 1867 he purchased the Logansport Pharos, which he published nearly eight years before he abandoned the newspaper field entirely to give his whole attention to the practice of law. Throughout his entire career ex-Senator Me-Don-ald has remained his fast friend, and the

present appointment Mr. Magee attributes to kinal words which Mr. McDonald must have expressed in his behalf during his recent call upon the president Mr. Magee is now completing his second term as state senator, and something of the esteem in which he is held by his colleagues is shown in the unanimity with wluch he was chosen vice president of the senate. Provided the appointment is confirmed by the United States senate, and of this diere is no doubt, he will sail for Stockholm within two moths, taking his family with him.

McLean on Top.

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 30.— The appointment of Wm.

Mr. Payne were elected. Although Mr. Cook has been a life-long Democrat and effecdve worker for that party, his acdon in bolting ths ticket In 1883 was used against him by the Payjie men ia the i-ontent tor surveyorship.

SLY SANKEY.

WILL

CAFTTTBE

TH* POSTHASTE®* SHIP.

A Distressing Bamor That Such Is the Object of His Present Visit to Washington.

It was rumored yesterday fjjrfenoon that Matt Sankey had received the appointment of postmaster. The news was received by many democrats with blanched faces. "Heavens! Can it be true?" Baid a democrat. "There will be blue smoke no.w, sure!" said another. "There will be weepisg and wailing and gnashing of teeth and wearing of sackcloth and ashes,'.' said anotner.

There seems to be a settled impression in democratic circles that the collectorship is not thp only surprise in store. It is well known tnat Mr. Sankey went to Washington on receiving a dispatch telling him to come, and the general impression is that the dispatch came from Senator Voorhees or Mr. Crawford Fairbanks. There seems to be something in the wind.

Mr. James Foley has returned from Washington. A dispatch to die Indianapolis Journal says that the Indianians at Washington say Mf- Foley's chances for the postoffice are bright.

Mr. John Regan and Mr. John G. Williams are in Washington looking after Mr. Regan's chances.

The Hon. John E. Lamb was found in his office busily engaged. When Mked in regard to the collectorship, he said ths appointment of Mr. Hanlon was a surprise to him. When he left Washington

VIr. Hanlon's name had net been mentioned for the position. "It is a personal appointment," said he. "Mr. Voorhees and Mr. Hanlon have been close friends for twenty-five years yes, for a longer time than that. Voorhees' fights have been his fights." "Do you think he will remove the office from Terre Haute?" the reporter asked. "No 1 think,he will come here te live." "Have you heard the rumor, that *r. Sankey was appointed postmaster?" asWed the reporter. "No. Is that reported?" said Mr. Lamb, with some surprise, and smiling, said he had been sick for the last three days.

A Washington special to the ludian„,Klis Times says: "Matt. Sankey, of Terre Haute, who was a candidate for the ollectorship, says that die principal reasons (or the selection of Tom Hanlon was that it was thought Terre Haute was jetting too much patronage and the south lart of the state was getting left. Ths

I'erre Haute postoffice matt€r still hangs tire, with some probability that no selection will be made until after the spring election. Foley and Regan (who are due here to-night) appear to be leading, but it is indmated- that a dark horse may pass under the wire first."

A reporter met Mr smes Foley yesterday morning, and asked him in which pocket he carried his commission as postmaster. He looked for the document, but not finding it, concluded he had left it in Washington, bnt assured the reporter that it would be along in good time. "Of con we you know," ne said, "for you have published the fact in the Express that there will be no appointment made until after the spring election. You ask me the direct question, 'Who is going to be postmaster?' I will answer you. by

saving that I am. The majority of the people are for rac and Senator oorhew is for me. What do I think about this Sankey story? It is all nonsense, it started here in town. 1 don't believe any word has been received from Washington this morning saying he would get the posteffice."

Although the report that Mr. Sankey had secured the postoffice was only a rumor, vet it was enough to cause many bets to" be made that he would get it. The impression prevails that Senator Voorhees will do something for Mr. Banker, and that as the collectorship is top to'Hanlon, why not the postoffice for Mr. Saukev.
