OMAHA Dalrly BEE EIGHTEENTH YEAR. THE CAMPAIGN IN INDIANA. A Republican Demonstration on the Tippecanoe Battle-Field. THIRTY THOUSAND PRESENT. Blaine Unable to Speak Owing to a Severe Cold—Harrison Receives the Garfield Club ot Columbus, O, At Tippecanoe, Tiprrcanor BATTLE Grousp (near Lafay ette), Ind., Oct. 17.—Blaine, General Alger, General Gibson and other distinguished speakers arrived at the battle ground at 12:10. The booming of cannon announced tueir arrival to the assembled thousands and brought enormous crowds to the station to greet the guests of the day. n thousand people clamored around the little station and the confusion was very great. Mr. Blaine was not fecling well this morping, having caughta siight cold last night. He did not liately alight from his car, but fol Alger and General Gibson to the tab. half an hour later. The tabernacle stands in the center of the grounds on the high ground of the historic battle field. As early as 4 o'clock the mammoth build ing was crowded to suffocation, with 10,000 clamoring on the outside to get in. It ias with great difficuity that the local committee piloted Alger and Lis party to the speakers’ stand. Th monies of the day began at 1 0'clock, when Captain W. DeWitt Wallace, chairman of the local committee, attempted in vain to secure silence from the great and enthusi astic audience. He introduced ex-Secreta Richard W. Thompson as permanent chair man, who succeeded in securing partial or der, and introduc I Alger, who ad dressed the multitude half an hour. The distinguished Michigander received an ova tion on his appearance, and when he d d that General Henjamin Harrison would be the next occupant of the white house the audience went wild, and the cheers wor echoed buck by the thousands outside. It is estimated that there were 30,000 people on the ground, and overflow outdoor meet were held.' During General Alger's speceh the confusion continued, and the speaker was compelled to stop several times, as the crowds outside persistently attempted to squeeze the life out of the 5,000 iuside the tabernacle, General Adam S. King was the next speaker. In the middle of his specch Blaine arrived, As he same upon the platform the multitude rose and _cheered frantically for several minutes, Chairman Thompson an nounced that Mr. Blaine's voice would not permit him to make a specch to day; that his general hewlth was good but his throat was again troubling lnm and he must be excused, Blaine again came forward and reccived an other ovation. The confusion, however, v 80 great that he did not attempt to say word. He waved his handkerchicf, signify ing to the crowd to be silent, but the chcers and confusion continued. General A. P. Hovey was introduced and tried to speak, but was constantly inter- rupted by the confusion. Blaine retired, re- turning to his car. He left at 2:40 this after- noon for Chicago, where he will arrive at apbout 7 o'clock. CuicaGo, Oct. 17.—Blaine and party ar- rived in Chicago at 8 o'clock this cvening. It was not generally known at the battle round that Blaine would leave so early, but is throat trouble caused u change of pro- gramme and was the reason for his carly de- parture for Chicago. At the request of laine the officials of the Monon line did not ermit their employes to telegraph along the ine that Blane was en route. As a_conse- guence the trip was uneventful. At the first lew stations small crowds had congregated, but after that there were no gatherings His general health seemed to be excellent, but the slight cold which he contracted las night affeets the vocal chords and prevents utterance above a low conversational tone of wvoice. He antic he will be in ex- cellent voice by , when he speaks in this city, either at Battery D or cavalry armory. Groups of people stood about the depot awaiting the arrival of the distinguished traveler, and a ripplo of applause and cheers went up as he came along. In front of the station u crowd had congregated. Blaine drove direct to the Grand Pacific, where he hopes to obtain some rest after his fatiguing canvass of Indiana. Shortly after reaching the hotel the Blaine club, in handsome con tinental uniforms, with band, paraded past the hotel and screnaaed the man from Maine, The Fort Wayne Barbecue. Fort WAYNE, Ind,, Oct. 17.—This was tho day for the big democratic barbecue, and bright and early this morning crowds began to appear on the streets. Fort Wayne's 40,000 people were reinforced by the in- habitants of the surrounding country, who came in on the 100 extra trains. Judge ‘Thurman began his reception shortly after having finished his breakfast, and thousands took advantage of the opportunity to take him by the hand. The big procession formed at 1 o'clock and sed through the principal streets. Prominent along the line of the pro. cession wus the bandana, Handkerchiefs, vests, comts and umbrallas of ban bana red gave @ brilliant appearance to the parade, Governor Gray, Senator Voorhees, and ex-Senator MeDonald stood with Judge Thurman on the hotel balcony as ho reviewed the parade, which took thirty five minutes to pass. One big wagon carried apyramid of hanasome young ladics dressed in bandanas, who waved and cheered enthu- sinstically in response to the ovation given them by the crowd. When the carriages reached the speaking stand at 2 o'clock 10,000 veople were already on the ground, while several thousand more w soon added to the audience. At sight of Judge Thurman the crowd cheered heartily, and auring his remarks they applauded generously. Fred J. Haven, of Fort Wayne, on behalf of Mr. B. Masters, who has voted the democratic ticket for fifty years, presented the judge with o hickory ' cane which ~ had been cut and suitably engraved by Mr. Masters. In response Judge Thur- man said : “Thanks. This I take to be hickory. It looks very much like it, and looks as if should that end of it tall on the head of a re- publican, if he was a mean man, he would be mgpmy apt to go down.” | Applause.] his response was made after his regular speech, which was bricf and was fo'lowed by & short talk to the people on the other side of the stand, who had been unable to see and hear as they wished. He was in good voice and seemed to have suffered no exhaustion from the severe hand-shaking ordeal through which he passed this morning. The presi dent of the day, Johu H. Bass, introduced him, and he said : have been in Indiana but a fow days, but e\'erx day that 1 spent there has laddened * my heart.

They were accompanied by about one hundred members of the Columbus Glee club and the Four teenth Regiment band. During the after- noon they called on General Harrison at his residence, and Governor Foraker briefly in troduced them to the republican candidate for president. In response to their greeting General Harrison said, among other things: “We welcome you as republicans. We believe that our party now advocates another great princile that heeds to oe _established, aad put where it shall be beyond assault, 1t is the principle which has wrought marvel- lously in the development of our countr: sincethe war. It has enabled us to handle the great national debt, with which our desponding democrats would incvitably sink our country into bankruptey, so that we are not trouvled about getting mone pay our maturing bonds, but getting it faster than our bonds mature, We wish to establish this princivle of pro tection, and defend our American wage workers against the degrading and un- friendly competition of pauper labor in all other countries so unmistakably that it shall not again beassailed. Our democratic friends in previous campaigns have deccived the people upon this great question by uncertain nd cvasive utterances. We are glad to know that now they have the issue clearly. We aceept it. If we shall be able in this cam- paign, as I believe we will, to arouse our people to the importance of maintaining our aefenses against unfair foreign competition we shall administer the free traders a whole- some lesson—one that will last them a life time.” “The annual reunion of the Seventy-ninth Indiana regiment was held here to day, the veterans, headed by General Knefler, called on General Harrison. al Knefler made a brief speech in pr ing the veterans, and General Harrison re- spouded. P Chicago's Registration. Cnicaco, Oct. 17.—The complete returns from the inspectors of registration, whioh was completed in this city yesterday, indi- c a total of about 164,000 votes. At the last presidential election it was 110,000, and it is estimated that 160,000 v L be cast at the forthcoming election, or an ncrease of more than 50 per cent in four years, ew York's Registered Voters, New York, Oct. 17.—The second day's registration in this city was also exception- ally large, 90,917 names being registered, as against 71,500 for 1554 Fosticl ey WESTERN PACKING INTERES A Reduction in the Receipts of For the Past Week. ixeinNaT, O, Oct. 17.—[Special Tele gram to Tue Bee. ] —To-morrow’s Price Cur- rent will say: The marketing of hogs has shown a reduction the past week, the total western pa ng aggr ating 140,000, com- pared with 165,000 for the preceding week and 170,000 a year ago. The total from March 1 is 4,040,000, against 5,140,000 a year ago. There is a widespread belief that the winter sunply of hogs is likely to be largely short of ayearago. The plentifulness and cheapness of fecd, with present aud prospective rela tively better values for hogs than for corn, is calculated to enlarge the number of buyers, instead of sellers, of unfattencd hogs in_the country, and this condition of affairs leads to apparent scarcity of stock, which, in fact, 18 deceptive, “Packing, March 1 to T Chicago .

Mysterious Movements at Demo- cratic Headquarters. CLEVELAND'S PART IN THE PLAY. He May Spring Another Anti-Cana- dian Sensation—Southern Cone gressmen Remaining at the Capital, Something in the Air, Wasnizgtos Buneau Tig Ouans Bee, | 513 FOURTERNTI ST T, Wasuisaros, D. €, Oct. 17. ) What is in the air around the white house no one outside the portals of that political workshop can tell, but that some deviltry is brooding there can be no doubt. It camo by telegraph this morning that the president was preparing another fisheries message to be sent to congress, 1n which he would take issue against Canadian annexation, ete., and “explode @ bombshell in the republican camp,” but that is denied by the few intimate friends of Mr. Cleveland who revresent him on the floor of congress, Chairman Mills, of the house committec on ways and means, has been in the city all week, but he has kept to his room closely for three days and it 1s re- ported that he is preparing a sensa- tional statement based on the aualysis of the republican tariff bill which s clerk and experts from the New York custom house have been making during the past ten days, and that he will “spring it on the house' just before adjournment when 1t cannot be answered by republicans i the senate, but this is also denied.” Yet there is something in the air. The administration men in congress are on the tiptoe and are very nervous. They are afraid to let congress either take a recess over election or adjourn, To-day there was a_quiet but determined op- position in both houses to propositions of this character. None but democrats opposed the movement, and yet they declared that noth- ing can be done by waintaining the session and that it is o waste of money and time to keep it up. Mr. Alison read the day. He told the de senting his resolution providing for a recess from next Saturday to November 19, that he proposed to test their sincerity, that if they really wanted as he did to vass a tariff bill during this congress they would ad- vocate a recoss instead of adjournment, as the former would give two weeks more for iff work than the latter proposition, lemocrats, however, to a man advocated tournment which wourd make the day convening Monday, Decembver 3. While ding to want action on the tariff by v possible scheme, they fight to waste timeand delay action. They, and they alone, are rosponsible for the delay of the appro priat and the tariff bill, and they in stituted and are trying to keep up the farce of a scssion of con- gress. They believe, though, that they can mislead the people of the country in this as they have been trying to do on their frec trade tarift bill. The fact is the democrats re afraid to permit action on the republican ariff bill in the scnate. They ai raid it will be passed by the house. ” They are hold ing congress in session in the hope that some- thing will *“turn up.”” Despite this fact there is little doubt that there will be a recess or adjournment next Saturday. HERE'S A HOW D'YE DO, When Mr. Blaine charges that Secretary ‘airchild has deposited $57,000.000 of the sur- plus in the national banks' of the country where the money now rests without drawing interest, he only partially tells the truth in regard to the matter. Every dollar of this money has been bundled “and has passed through that special_pet of the administra- tion, the Western National bank of New York City. This bank was organized with Daniel Manning as president, and since his death ex-United States Treasurer C. N. Jor dan has occupied this place. The profits out of these transactions canonly be conjectured, It would e interesting to know the amount of the contribution of the Western National bauk to the democratic campaign fund. TIE SOUTH CONTROLS CONGRESS NOW, Every democratic senator in Washington js from’the south and uine out of every ten of the democrats in the house are from the south. 'This is probably due to the fact that the south cun take care” of itself, As one senator from that section put it to-day, who added: **We have no fear of an invasion this time by republicans,” evidently meaning that the democratic majority in tho south has been arranged veforehund. WHAT MRS, NEWMAN YS OF TAE MORMONS, One of the brightest women who has been around the capitol during the present ses- sion of congress is Mrs. Annie F. Newman, who is laboring for the amelioration of plural wives in Utah and 1daho territories. Mrs. Newman is a sister of the Hon. John M. Thurston, of Nebraska, and _she is known to many of the best people throughout New England and the extreme west, It was Mrs, Newman who was the unseen power which forced the democrats in congress a few weeks ago to take a more negative position on the proposition to appropriate 30,000 for the establishment and mainte- nance of an industrial christian home at Salt Lake City for the wonien and children who desire to renounce polygamy, and assist in bringing to punishiwent the polygamists who are working inside the Mormon church, There was a desperate and well-organized opposition to this_ proposition on the part of the democrats in both houses of congress. 1 asked Mrs. Newman what she believed to be the real rcason why the democrats were op- posing this proposition, and she said: “I have always been unable to understand the affinity between the democratic party and polygamy. I don't thiuk there are any more _democrats among the polygamists in Utah and Idaho than there are republicans, and not until during the past five or six years has it occurred to the Mor- mons that” it would be politic to associate themselves with one of the great political parties. The laws which were first enacted for the eradication of polygamy were sug- gested by the republican party, and I pre sume that attracted the attention of the Mor mous to the fact that the principles of the republican party were opposed to Mormon- ism and polygamist habits. The primary aim of the Mormon church during the past decade has been to secure statehood for Utah. If the territory could be made a state at this time, or espec ally if it could have been a state three or four years ago, the Mormons would iustantly have had control and polygamy would have run riot. They would have made state laws and the state of Utah would have been one great harem, The senate, ever since it was placed in the hands of the republican party, has strongly advocated more stringent laws against polygamy, and naturally the Mor- mons turned their attention to the lower house of congress. They received encour- agement, aud now they have goue over as one man to the democratic party. I don't know whether it is true or not that the Mormon church gave a large contribution to the democratie cam- paign fund this year, or whether it has very substantially assisted the democratic party inits struggles for supremacy; but I do know that whenever the church makes an appeal for or acainst legislation it does iv through some democratic representative in congress," What do you think will be the result of the establishment of an industrial home at Sait Lake City, where plural wives of Mor- mons can find good homes ! *It will be the straw which will break the camel’s back.” Itis not the purpose of the good Pm\plu behind the movement to help plural wives to_ tura their backs upon their husbands. - The aia 1s to fur- nish a home for those who are now living in misery, and for those who believe in the Mornion doctrine, are unmarried and do not desire to become plural wives, = You must remember that we must do something to save the daughters of the Mormons, and keep thew from becoming plural wives and slaves. riot act nocrats in_ pre- to- The operations of the Mormon church are very sinful. If there is & eomfortable home for these women thay will aecept it instead of living in open adultery, for the life of a plural - wife is nothing short of that. The Mormon church levies a heavy tax for a defense fund. This i8 used in defending poiyiamists who are under prosecution. The comviction of polygamist rests almost wholly, and in nine cases out of ten solely, with the wives themselves. As an inducement for them to not testify against their husbauds they are maintained out of this defense fund. If they testify against their husbands the latter would be sent to the peni- tentiary and the wives and chil- dren would be left in destitute cir- cumstances, because the support given by the defense fund would ve withdrawn when ever the wives testified that they were living in polygamy. Now, if we have homes for these women they will be honest when they are on the witness stand, and the result wiil be thut there will be more convictions for polygawmy than there ever has been.” MISCELLANEOUS. Senator Paddock will go to his home at atrice as soon as congress adjourns, which will likely be on Monday. owler and wife, of Towa, are here. A marriage license has been issued for Harry V.

He says there are sev- cral families ubsolutely destitute of food and fuel, and something must be done, and im- mediately.

NEw Youk, Oct, 17.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bre]—The Hérald's Washington special says: By the d#ath on the l4th inst. of Captain Whitchead, #f the subsistence de- partment, and the reirement on the 19th inst. of Colonel Rufus Sexton, of the quar- termaster’s departmeng, President Clev land has two more staff eppointments in the army at his disposal; inaddition to those long overdue. 1t has been asserted that the president, in view of the great amount of po- litical influence involved, has decided to spare himself the loss of political friends by delayingaction on ull of these cases untilafter the clection. There is o good reason for such asupposition. The faet that there is delay is due to Mr. Cleveland's desire to keep poli- tics out of the question rather than through any purpose to curry fayor with the politi- cians. In other words, the numerous candi dates depended 80 largely upon politi- cal endorscments that the president has found himself puzzled to_select ofticers ac- cording to their worta, #nd until he is fully satisfied on that score, may be depended upon that no appolntient will be made. w that the secretary of war is here, it is highly probable that" all the appointments will be decided upon during the present week., Strect Railway Association. ‘WasHmiNGToN, Oct, 17. — The American Street Railway association met in conven- tion here to-day. Something more than a hundred delegates were present, represent- ing nearly every city of prominence. Presi- dent C. R. Holmes, of Chicago, called the convention to order and then delivered his annual address, The subject of carrying mails by street cars:was considered by a committee. Several roads running between postoftices have secured the designation of United States mail carriers by the govern ment. The only objection to this mode of cal g the wmails i8 the obstructions that occur from carts, wagons and other traftic, A committee has consulted with the post oftice authorities, and it was decided by the latter that such designation shall be given only to those lines running betwcen post- oftices. The suggostion of a committee that letter boxes be placed in street cars to facil- itate the distribution of mails was favorably received by the authorities, and suitable boxes are now being devised for this purpose. The strike question was vigorously handled by the convention. uch oceurrences were denounced as being ordinarily unwarranted, which the public should discountenance. All strikes should be settled by arbitration. The exhibit of modern appliances in the construc- tion, equipment and operation of street rail- roads was large ana interesting. A Very Glose Call. NEW York, Oct. 17. — A dispatch from Newburg, N.

The baggage and express cars were totally wrecked by a shower of boulders and the baggagemaster and express messenger narrowly escaped with their lives. The end of the first two cars, which were filled with baggage and express matte! were crushed and flattened out like egg shells and the tunnel fifled with debris. The express messenger had just got up from a chair and walked toward the forward end of the car when the crash came. The rear end of the car was cut off behind him cleanly as with a knife. The passengers groped their way out of the tunnel'and were carried to Cornwall by a boat at thidnight. The tunnel runs under the paradeiground of the United ates wilitary academy, 130 feet above.

A MAGNIFICENT RECEPTION, The Whole City Turns Out and Greets the Royal Cortege With Deafen- ing Applanse—A Plctur- esque Procession. Visiting King Humbert. Copyright 1888 by James Gordon: Bennett.] NarLes, Oct. 17— [New York Herald Cable —Special to Tur Bee, | ~The German {kaiser left Rome yesterday morniug and reached ples at half past two in the afternoon. King Humbert and the newly married Duke d'Aosta, his brother, accompanied the em- peror. The royalties had an enthusiastic farewell from the Romans and were cheered 1o the echo at the stations all along the line from the capital. A splendid welcome awaited them here. On alighting from the train they were re- ceived by the authorities in a room richly draped with lace and white satin, relieved by crimson bands and wreathes of flowers. Outside tens of thousands of noisy Neapolitans, the noisiest people on the face of the earth, perhaps, were waiting to cheer the illustri- ous visitor. Inno part of his dominions is King Humbert more popular than on the Chiaja, where his gallantry during the chol- era epidemic has not yet been forgotten. The whole city seemed to have turned out in honor of the arrival, and when the young emperor was seen slowly advancing in ono of the court carriages with his host and the duke, the exclamations were deafening. Owing to the enormous concourse of loyal obstructionists in the streets the royal and imperial cortege had to travel to the palace ata foot pace. M. Crispi, the premier, Count Herbert Bismarck, General Viale, minister of war, and Admiral Brin, minister of marine, who occupied a carriage together, came in for a share of the applause. By far the most of- fective part of the procession was formed by the deputations of working men and fishe men. In honor of the day all had donned their most picturesque costumes, in which they presented a very different apoearance from the ragged rabble who hang around thé quaysnear Sauta Lucia on ordinary occasions. The Pinzza del Plebiscito, in front of the palace, was filled by a seething crowd when the procession arrived, and the visitors had to bow repeatedly in response to the ovation given them, The applause continued long after the king and his zuests had entered the palace, Itgrew Jouder than ever when the two monarchs showed themselves on the balcony and bowed again to the people. Kight rooms had been prepared for the em- peror on the first floor of the huge but rather ugly palace, overlooking the hanging garden and the bay. The two chief rooms are dec- orated in the Rosoco style. The bed room is hung with Durantes, murvellous old Neapo- litan tapestry, on which are woven a_series enes from the story of Don Quixote. In aiser's study stands the beautiful inlaid writing table, which was presented to King Ferdinand 11, by the y. A slight change has been made ip it since Ferdinand’s death. The cross of sBa‘Bavior naw adorns It instead of the French lilies, On the walls hang trophies of arms from the famous Copodimonte collec- tion. Conspicuous among them is the shield of King Ruggerio. Copodimonte, statucttes in white and blue adorn a large console and fill the recesses and_staircase niches i the palace. The imperial bath room is of pure white marble, and the toilet service which the kaiser will use is of richly chased silver. The ceiling and skylights were hidden by folds of white muslin and the center of the roowm was gay with German and italian bunt- g, fi'ho Tramontana wind which has been blowingstrongly has not checked the popu- lar enjoyment. The houses in Corso Gari- baldi, the Via Forea and the Piazza del Ple- biscito are gayly decorated with Prussian and Italian flags. Cavalry and infantry line the streets, and the troops experience great difficulty in keeping the thoroughfares clear. The populace, fighting and surging in the open, is thoroughly good humored, however. The pink and yellow walls of the high build- ings, with their black, lace-like network of balconies, covered with trailing greenery and flags, make up a marvelous picture, In the afternoon the emperor went with the king to visit the museum, where the monarchs stayed an hour and a half. The emperor conversed continually with the ministers and generals in attend- ance, and seemed particularly struck by the admirable behavior of the people. The Piazza del Plebiscito was magnificently illumi- nated last night. A band played a serenade in front of the palace, a comvliment which the emperor and King Humbert acknowl- edged by once more coming out on the bal- cony and standing there for several minutes 1n view of the people. S THE LAUNCH. Naples in Holiday Attire to Entertain Her Royal Guest. (Copyright 188 by James Gordon Bennet.] NarLes, Oct. 17.—[New York Herald Cable —Special to Tuk Bee. | —Again the best of Neapolitan weather, and the bay has been seldom seen to better advantage, nor could the fleet have been more admirably seen. Under the shadow of the beautifully wooded hill of Saint Angelo, so well kuown to all tourists, lay the stcamer Candia, provided for the accommodation of the press, and close to the dock-yard where the launch ship was constructed, The town of Castellmare with the old ruined castle above was gay with flags. On the walls were numberless bright-col- ored placards and devices, one of which coupled the names William, Humbert, Crispi, Bismarck with the legend of Lapace. The harbor teemed with small craft and all the larger vessels were covered with bunting. The only English flagto be seen floated above Sir Bernard Samuelson’s yacht, the Imperial, and the royal party ar- rived by special train amid great en- thusiam. Then successfully the launch took vlace. Signora Brinn, daughter of the Ital- ian minister of marine, performed the chris- tening ceremony. Inamoment the great red hulk of what is destined to prove one of the most formidable fighting ships of modern umes glided into the water. Many thou- sands of spectators gazed at it—some on rows of extemporized balconies and others on the roofs of houses which, like the scats of a theatre, cluster tier above tier up the steep mountam sides. All the seamen who manned the rigging of the ships cheered lustily. The next incident was the passage of the royal pinnace out of the harbor conveying King Humbert and his imperial guest to the royal yacht Sovoya amid a thunderous naval salute, Shortly afterwards the review began and lasted from 3 until 6. It concluded with a defile of iron clads and torpedo boats before the royal yacht, which took up & position in front of the Castell del Ovo, only ahbalf mjle from the shore, The review was chiefly designed as a spec- tacular effect in horor of the emperor. The defiling was perfect aud the distances were admirably preserved except in the case of the torpedo boats, tome of which appeared to fail in the essential point of speed. The famous 110-ton guns | wore not used, but they cam ) for much vbservation, silent and grim in their turrets. The Neapolitans continue in a great state of excitement over the visit. 'o-night the church San Francisco di Paola, which stands opposite the palace and is built in imitation of St. Peters in Rowe. was illuminated. As on last eveming, ite eircular colonnade, cuvered With jets of gas, produced & mug- nificent owded effect. The square Dante was with the populace who loudly heered the emperor, A palace banquet closed the day. Before leaving for Rome the royal party will in the morning visit Pompeii where the station has been decorated in view of the emperor's visit, which 1s to be exclusive private, Two fountyns constructed of lava and shbll have been erceted at the en trance of Pompeii and supplied from the river Sarno. The various societies of the Vesuvian and Valerno communes will be stationed along the railroad from Terra An nunciata to the station at Pompeii. The Tyndic of Terra Apnunciatia and the author will receive the empgror at the station Signor de Petra, the dirdtor general of ex cavations, will explain everything to the im perial visitor. - FLOOD 1S DYING. His Physicians Think the End Must Come Very Soon. [Copyright 1588 by James Gordon Bennett,] HemELiEa, Oct. 17.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tie Bee. ] —Flood is dying here of Bright's disease of the kidneys of long standing, After his American physi cians had pronounced his case hopeless Flood, accompanied by his wife and daughter, de- cided to go to Europe. In May last, in Lon don, Dr. Clarke, a famous authority on Kid ney diseases, gave the family very little en couragement. ‘They left London for Hom bourg, near Frankfort, where they hoped some benofit might be experienced from the waters, This hope proved delusive. The family came here to consult the great authori ties, Prof. Brb and Dr. Heimann, of the Hei- delberg faculty of medicine, and Prof. Kuss maul, late of the Strasborg university but now practicing medicine here, Prof Erb has charge of the case. All three believe Flood may pass away any moment; that in any event his life cannot be prolonged more than a few weeks. A weeck ago Ast Wednesday the case took a very unfavorable turn. The discase went to the heart. Since then he has not been able to lie down and has rested propped up in an arm chair, His fe. nd legs were terribly swollen during two days last week, and his agony was great. Itis only owing, say his physicians, 10 his great strength of constitution that his life has been prolonged till now. ondition is constantly changs ame more than a half 1 the last fo eight hours Flood has been a little morc fortable, but alway drowsy, which the doctors say is another syn the disease. danger just now is ¢ think, that dropsical swelling of ‘the lower limbs may reach the heart or that he may die durine one of these fits of drowsiness. They give little medicine, allow him to_cat and drink what he likes us nothing more can be done for the kidneys. But o little tea and a toasted egg satisfy him. The doctors come th or four times a day. He is not informed of his condition as the physicians fear the effect of the shock. For the same reason no priest has been sent for, He is a Roman Catholic, but Mrs. James L. Rathone, wife of the Am erican consul at Paris, who with Captain Fletcher, of the American navy, canie to sit her old friend. Mrs. Flood will secure the service of a priest to-day. His mind, when he awakes from a stupor, is clear. When his daughter told him yesterday that she and Mrs. Rath bone were going to the bank, he said: *“You had better take the carriage. It is too far to walk.” Should the worst be realized the body will be embalmed and taken to San Francisco, where his only son now is. Flood put all his affairs in order before coming to urope.
