PINE RIDGE INDIANS NOT AGITATED, Declaring the Re-election of Sen- ator Sherman. TENNESSEE MINERS’ VERY NEAR TO DEATH. The Condition of Prince Albert Victor Seri- ous, but Hope Still Entertained. Loxpox, Jan. 13, 4:30 p.m.—The Duke of Clarence and Avondale is still alive, and hope that he will recover has not been entirely abandoned, 5:15 p.m.—A bulletin from Sandringham has just announced that there has been a trifling change for the better in the condition of the prince, The prince did not pass a good night and his condition this morning gave cause for great anxiety. The official bulletin of the physicians in attendance issued at9 a.m. says that symp- toms of great gravity had supervened and that the condition of the patient was very grave. These admissions were supplemented by more alarming reports which leaked out from Sandringham, from Marlborough House and elsewhere. They agreed in the statement that the condition of Prince Albert was much more serious than the official bulletine admitted and that the worst was feared in many quarters. ‘The Princess of Wales tenderly nursed the sick prinoe night and day until this morning, when her strength is said to have almost com- pletely given way under thestrain she had been subjected to. ‘The Prince of Wales has also shown much at- tention to his suffering son, and the Princess Mary of Teck has not left the palace from the hour the young prince's condition was an- nounced to be serious. Aconstant stream of telegrams and other messages of sympathy has poured in at Marl- borough House and is being filtered into Sand- ringham Palace. ‘The queen is informed overy hour as to the condition of the sick prince, and was much disturbed by the news this morning. ‘The prince's illucss has cast a feeling of gloom all over the country, and all prepar- ations being made for his marringo to the Prin- cess Mary of ‘Teck have been suspended for the present.” Prayers for the prince's recovery were offered last night in a number of churches in this city and thronghont the coun- try. A number of entertainments which were to have taken place last night and this evening have been indefinitely postponed, owing to the sickness of Princo Albert Victor. The Emperor William of Germany and_ the Czur of Russia and the royal family of Den- mark are among those who have been most constant in their inquiries and who received almost hourly bulletins concerning the suffer- er's condition. A report was in circulation in tho stock ex- change this morning thatthe prince was dead. ‘This was quickly refuted, but caused great ex- citement. WAR. eee MERELY SOCIAL DANCES.

Ohio's Senior Senator Escorted to the State Capitol, Coutamve, Outo, Jan. 13.—At noon today the senate and house met in joint session in the house to choose a United States Senator. The call of the rolls showed twenty-four senators and sixty-eight members of tho house present. ‘The clerks of tho two houses then read the min- utes of the separate elections held yesterday.
