LONDON , Fob. II. INcw York Herald
.Cable Special to Tun UKK. ] Cliaotwls the
condition of polities hero in splto of the split
in the nationalist party and the fighting atti
tude of both wimp. The Kiiiillsh liberals
eontlnuo to win scats by a steadily rising ina-
ority. The conservatives may iiot have ex
pected to win Northampton , but cer
tainly had no idea of being
beaten by the tremendous majority of 1,700.
It begins to took at if the mass of English
voters cared not n copper about the dlsscn-
tlons of the nationalists , and looked favor
ably upon IrWi homo rule , though the Irish
are lighting tooth mid nail to postpone It , but
the Irish are not done lighting yet.
Dillon and O'Urlen having rushed
into print , McCarthy must pcn'orco
follow. lie inado out so clearly
n case against Parnell that the latter Intends
to Issue a manifesto giving his side of the
Btory. It may sound quocrly , but the Times
hns become Pnrnell's organ. Ho gravely told
n correspondent of the Times yesterday that
ho hoped the McCarthy wing would do
nothing to widen the breach with the liberal
party.
It is Impossible not to ndmlro the way
Parnell sustains J the high standard
of cynical impudence ho bos sot
himself throughout tha crisis. A reward
ward of th' kind must bo terribly galling to
men who liitvo been most careful to maintain
friendly relations with tlio liberal party and
who have heard lilui denounce , in uiiincas-
Xirod , intemporntq terms , that party and its
great leader.
It is amusing to watch the course of
the Times. Ho\v \ it coddles the man
whom it endeavored to ruin.
It never accepts , without modification , the
statements of the McCarthy wing , whllo do
ing nil In its power to strengthen I'arncll's
position , Today , for Instance , though It is
well known that the Boulogne negotiations
came to nothing , through Parucll's attitude ,
tbo Times says Parnell accepted O'Brien's '
ofTor of mediation purely on
tbo ground of private friendship and
out of regard to bis known
honesty of purpose nnd proved Judgment in
Irish nUairs. The Times Is doing its best to
run Pnrncll against homo rule and , through
him , to damage tlio cause of Ireland as much
ns Is in its power to do. War Is to bo carried
into Ireland again , for the McCarthy wing
sees that nepotiatlons with Parnoll
nro only temporary. In a letter published
today by the . bishon of Gnlwiiy
protesting against' Paruell's contemplated
visit toGahvay , ho calls him. a publicly con
victed adulterer and asocial disgrace.
Negotiations nro in progress between the
shipping federation and the labor leaders for
ending the unfortunate struggle at Cardiff
before it leads to disaster to all concerned.
Negotiations were opened by men who are
getting the worst of it. The men do not de
mand tno exclusion of non-unionists , but only
that there shall bo no discrimination against
the unionists.
The attitude of tbo shipp'ng ' federation is
of natural consequence.
The murder of Carroty Nell In Whlte-
clmpclon Friday morning Is ascribed to Jack
tlio Hipper , but they htivo. Tack on tlio brain
here. It does not look like his work to mo.
The woman's throat was cut in n clumsy
manner with a blunt Instrument. The body
wns not otherwise mutilated. Jack murders
llko a professional and mutilates like a
maniac. The police seem to thhiK themselves
absolved from catching the niurdoror by
saying , .Tnck the Hipper did it. They have
detained two men , against neither of whom
is thcro sufllclcnt evidence to warrant making
n charge.
I understand the Philadelphia heirs of
Jonnlns' cstato think that they nro certain to
rccoU'o XI 00,000 , tlio amount of the note hold
by aomo English noblemen with whoso names
their solicitor has not furnished them. Per-
baps they will bo interested in the following
extract from the principal rcglstery of the
probate divorce and admiralty division of tbo
high court of justice :
"Upon hearing the counsel for the plaintiff
nnd defendant and by consent I do order that
the contentions and proceedings in this

Eim : , Colo. , Feb. 14. [ Special Telegram to
Tin : DISH.J This usually quiet llttlo city wns
thrown Into a state of intense excitement nt
nn cnrly hour by a terrific explosion which
completely demolished the north side of
Thomas OriJllths' store and almost totally
wrecked his residence , which is only sep
arated from the store by about four feet of
space. The shock was as If iin earthquake
bad occurred nnd It wai felt over the entire
town , breaking window glass and overturn
ing table nnd mantle ornaments for several
blocks around. The Jar of the explosion was
felt at the Schoilcld hotel nt Unnlicld , n dis
tance of nearly one and one-half miles.
The explosive used was probably giant
powder , and was placed under the sill of the
store , between the residence- and store. Evi
dently tbo lleud who fired the charge under
stood his business , The main force of the
concussion went forward , crashing in the
walls of the house , n two-story frame struc
ture , its entlro length. The walls of Mr.
Grllllth's bedroom , which was next to the exPlosive -
Plosive , was blown in , completely covering
him with plaster nnd debris. Mr. Grilllths
was rendered unconscious for several mo
ments. Fortunately tbo house was not occu
pied by the fimillj , as they had moved some
months ago to another residence. The
cause of the explosion is directly
traceable to the McIClsblrk coal inlnn troubles.
In which mine Mr. Griffiths Is Interested , and
some party or pirtios who hold a grudge
against Mr. Grilllths adopted tbo nbovo
method of rovoniro. It is thought the plan
was not Intended so mucn to destroy property
as it was to kill Mr. GrlOltlw , and if the ex
plosive had been placed n few feet further
west the fiend would have accomplished his
end. The entire town is up In arms over
tbo occurrence and no effort will bo spared to
discover tbo perpetrator of the deed. "

An Outline of the Defense Gibson
AVill
CHICAGO , Feb. 14. It has been decided to
lay the case of Georga .1. Gibson , the alUgod
dynamiter-secretary of the whisky trust , be
fore the state rather than the federal grand
jury , ns under the state law it Is possible to
inlllct more severe penalties than under the
federal law.
A consultation between President Greenhut
of the wins Ity trust , Director * Woollier nnd
MeNulty and other ofllcials was bold hero to
day In regard to the sensational developments
in the alleged dynamite conspiracy of Secre
tary Glleson. Grceuhut announced that Gilo-
son had resigned poudlugan Investigation. A
cllmluary plan of defense was outlined , In
which it will bo assorted that Dewar manu
factured tbo machine nnd that jGibson Is the
victim of u conspiracy on the part of
United States officials. They will
assert that Dewar is a practical machinist
nnd could have made the infernal machine
which ho alleges Gibson gave him. It waste
to bo admitted that Gibson wns in communi
cation with Do war for the purpose of obtain
ing rellablo Information as to the output of
Sluifeldt's distillery , and In case Dewar
failed to send information Gibson may have
written him on the subject ; that Dewar had
nn opportunity to tamper with Gibson's '
vnllso after bis arrest nnd before
it wns put iuto the vault ; that ho
might have substituted the Inflammable
matter found in It later for nn innocent
liquid ; that no such bottle as that containing
the liquid was In Gibson's vnllso when ho
wns arrested ; in short , that Gibson may bo
the victim of a conspiracy of which the go\v
eminent onlcials nro dupes , As to tbosharcs
of wh'sky ' trust stock , It is to bo shown that
they are the property of Gibson's wife nnd
that ho was merely taking them to bo do-
posited.
In the course of nn interview subsequently
President Greenhut said that good attorneys
bad been encaged to defend Gibson , lie
said there was really 110 motive for the trust
to wish to annihilate Shufeldt's ' distillery ,
but there were many reasons for Shufeldt
wishing to injure the trust.
District Attorney Ullchrlst thought the
iilan of the defense wasn't worth shucks ,
lo pronounced as ridiculous the story that
the bottles in the valise could have been ex
changed. The vnllso was not out of Gibson's
hands from the time ho loft the carriage
until ho reached Commissioner Hoyno's
pfllco. Itvns then opened in his presence and
in it was found tlio bottlo. The statement
that Gibson did not come hero In answer to a
letter Irom Dewar , but was on his way to
Cleveland to visit relatives , the district at
torney branded as untrue and said ho had
evidence to disprove It. "I think , " ho added .
"that the best thing the trust people can do
is to Keep oulot. They may get in deeper
than they think. "
Gibson Hclicvctl to Have Skipped ,
PKOKIA , 111. , Fob. 14 , The belief prevails
that George J. Gibson , secretary of tbo
whisky trust , is well on his way to Europe ,
and , aided by plenty of money , will endeavor
to escape. One man connected with the trust
said this evening that Gibson had been gene
slnco Thursday night nnd will not return.
The Dall bond of0,000 , ho said , was
n bagatelle and considered very cheap.
It wns thought best to got nwav
before nny further charges were preferred
and the bonds increased by possible action of
state authority. It was learned today that
several months ago Gibson purchased at a
store In this city nfty pounds of dynamite.
About a month ago ho bought a quantity of
bisulphide of carbon and phosphorus at a
drug store , Ho learned the secret of
the compound from a chomlst whom bo
frequently invited to dine with him and
Invariably led up to a talk on the subject of
chemicals of this nature. Finally ho had his
son prepare a small portion for experiment.
It Is supposed ho then purchased the Ingredi
ents nnd compounded the mixture. A formula
was arranged for n very heavy proportion of
phosphorus , which would Ignite on cloth or J ;
paper freelv. It is learned that detectives
have been' ' looking after trust otllrers
and distilleries hero several days and
hunting for the machlnlsUwho made the ma
chine bent to Dewar. Gibson has not bcca
seen slnco Thursday noon , although a story
was Industriously circulated that ho was in
the city. At the National hotel meals have
been sent up to his room , but it Is not known
who cats thorn. These In a position to know
say it Is not Gibson.
It was rumored Into tonight that Gibson
loft for South America Friday morning.
When asked about the truth of the rumor
ono of his friends snid Gibson would bo out
of reach of the onlcials in a few days. Tie
did not know whether ho had gene to'Europe
or South America , but would not DO seen in
Peorlaagain. "Holms plenty of money , "

. Feb. 14. The crisis In the feud
between Bismarck nnd the emperor is be
coming ' acuto. In conversation at nn olllcla
| j'
dinner last night the emperor remarked that
tlio attacks Inspired by Bismarck ivcroalmodv
nt him , nnd ho feared that ho would
soon bo obliged to take severe measures
to ' suppress thcso attacks , which were
dangerous . to the government. It
is reported that Chancellor Caprlvi
has been Instructed to publish a warning to
Bismarck's paper , the Hnniburgcr-Nach-
ilchtcn , to cease publishing Its pretended
revelations of government affairs on pnln of
prosecution. The Nuchricetenjpubllshcdyes-
tcrday an article which caused a sensation.
It declared that the recent changes
in the army general staff wcro duo to the
fact that Waldcrsco and other ofllccrs were
working to bring on war with Hussln. The
article repeats other charges that
" \\nlderseo hns already denied , but
which have acquired fresh significance from
the removal of his Intimates , Majors Xahn
and Slebort , from the general staff. The
emperor had a prolonged conference ycstcr- .
day with the chancellor and minister of Jus
tice. It is dinicult to bellovo the emperor
means to go to the length of prosecuting Uls-
inarck , yet his uncontrolled intensity of
irritation supports tbo rumors that ho will do
so. The tone of an inspired , note In the North
German Gazette Indicates that a milder form
of repression will bo tried before Bismarck is
personally challenged.
The North German Gazette , replying to the
criticisms published in the Cologne Gazette ,
says that Its Insinuations concerning the
policy of the government , backed by no proof ,
cannot continue. Every government must bo
Judged by its acts. What tbo government
wants and on whom It relics are notqucstlons
to bo settled by Ill-humored articles pub
lished by opposition Journals. In noticing the
Hamburger Nacbrlchton's ' repeated asser
tions ) that the relations between Germany
and Uiissiahnvo been Imperilled since the
retirement of I'rinco Bismarck , tbo North
German Gazette declares thnt tbo accusa
tion leveled against the foreign
policy of the government is so
gravely opposed to the truth that the papers
making the charges must bo obliged to pro
duce proofs or stand discredited ns resorting
to nny Ho in order to assail tbo government.
Developments of the feud are watched with
the keenest Interest. Tbo ndhercnts of Bis
marck say that the prince docs not fear pros-
emtton , is ready to meet mid perhaps wants
to prove it.
Chancellor von Caprlvi assembled last
night In the grand ball of the chancellor's
poluco representatives from every political
section in the rclchstag excepting the social
ist section. The emperor sat between
Herren Lovotzo nnd Boettlchor. Tbo
scene reminded many of these present of n
similar gathering In the same hall , when
Prince Bismarck presided , hardly nyenrogo.
After the dinner the guests adjourned to
cigars and beer. Those present grouped
themselves around the emperor and
received an almost unbroken flow
of opinions regarding social topics , Prince
Bismarck , the pre = s , the campaign , the re
cent snowstorm , the civil authorities , suc
cess In coping with the inundations and the
workmen's protection bill on which there
was animated conversation , Herr Ktckort ,
Dr. WIndthorst and others finishing by ex
pressing their appreciation of the results of
the assiduous work of the bllU committee.
Although his majesty had passed an arduous
ofllcial day , beginning early In the morning
with a drill nt Potsdam , ho looked bright nnd
unwearied. Achanco reference to General
Count Von Moltko elicited the remark from
tbo emperor that ho could still rely on the
active assistance of the great tactician. It
transpired that in the interval while
tbo emperor was deciding upon a successor to
General Wnldcrseo , the emperor telegraphed
to General Yon Moltko , asking him to place
his experience at his disposal In selecting
General Waldersco's successor. The count
responded that whatever force remained In
him belonged to his emperor. Thereupon
General Von Schlieffen , before assuming the
position of chief of staff , went to Sillcin to
receive General Von Moltko's advice. Gen
eral Sehllollen Is an nrdont worker nnd hns
for n long time proved an excellent head of a
bureau , Ho is not credited with much skill
ns a tactician. Ho is noted chiefly among his
Intimates for his capacity for silence. Ho Is
muter oven than General Von Moltko.
During the reception at the French em
bassy on Thursday , the emperor urged M.
Herbottc , the French ambassador , to lallu- '
once a largo representation of French artists
at tbo coming Berlin International art ex
hibition. Ho assured M. Ilerbotto that the
superiority of tbo French artists would llnd
ready recognition In Germany. They could
have the most nmplo space in that part of the
building best situated for their exhibits. Ho
stated tbnt ho especially desired to see
the best specimens of maritime nnd mill-
itary studies In which , ho held , French
art is unsurpassed. M , Ilerbotto embodied
the emperor's conversation under a request
to President Carnet for communication to the
president of the Paris academy of line arts.
The reichstag has commenced the debate on
the workmen's protection bill. The house
ndoptcd nn article according twenty-four
hours' rest on Sunday. The socialists
wanted thirty-six hours. Herr Bo-
bcl , tbo socialist leader , In a
general criticism of the bill declared that the
workmen's party thoroughly distrust the bill
and would unceasingly oppose it unless
essential changes wcro inado in it. In Its
present form , ho declared , it protected the
employers and not the workmen.
A German-American composer named
Sclfcrt , who was formerly a piano maker In
Son Francisco , hns been on trial bore on the
charge of levying blackmail on a weal-
American widow , Mrs. Maguire ,
with whom Seifcrt bad on in-
trlguo after ho had boon divorced
irom his first wife , The evidence ) submitted
to the court showed that for a long period
Sclfort bas lived in an extravagant manner
nt the expense of the widow. The liaison at
tained a crisis when Selfort transferred
his affcctionj and married the widow's '
maid. Ho continued , however , to
retain bis grip upon the widow's purse
threatening to publish the story of their in-
trlguo in the Pollco Gazette , furnishing tholr
portraits to illustrate tbo article , unless bo
was supported with money. Friends of the
lady assisted In laying a trap r
capture tUo blackmailer. Detectives were
hidden in tbo widow's room during nn Inter

heard Selfort threaten to shoot her if she did
not submit to his 'exactions. They pounced
upon him and placed him under arrest. The
trial resulted In his conviction and ho was
sentenced to two yearsj imprisonment.

welcome the history of the great soldier as

to give up mis' day to rollectlon

the admonition thsj : an American scnnto
shall meet on this side of the fatal line of

to make our beloved country in bappy com ;
paratlvely as wo could wish the great beyond

General Sherman's death has had an olToct
upon Washington socially and politically
which no other death has had since that of
Lincoln. General Shormni : had something
more than nn ordinary hold upon tbo people
here. Ho was bettor known "personally limn
any other man that overoccnpiod the position
of general of the army. Ho came In contact
with moro persons since ho retired from nub-
lie lifo than any ox-general Washington has
over produced. The many thousands of
ptibllo and private citizens felt a
thrill of sorrow , which was nothing less than
distressingly painful , for hours after the
news finally came down from Now York that
the bravo old veteran who marched to the
sea was no more. The effect was the reali
zation , which was never so forcibly felt be
fore , that the great heroes of tbo Into war
are nearly all dead , nnd that within a dccado
these wno lead tbo federal army to victory
and Kept the union intact will bo only known
In ' history , Tlio sentiment which scoms to
n'ttach to the death of General Sherman bns
never hovered about a great man in
civil lifo. The last time bo appeared at tbo
cupitol , only a few weeks slnco and the in
stance was related In thcso dispatches an
evidence was given of the estimation In
which ho was held. As ho entered the sen
ate chamber Mr. Cockrell of Missouri was
speaking , but so many senators left tholr
seats and clustered ubout the general that
Senator Cockrell was forced to suspend for
speech for some minutes and Vice President
Morton had to repeatedly rap for order.
His reception was nothing less than a genu
ine ovation. General Sherman was warm
hearted and magnetic and he snowed his gal
lantry and humanity wherever he went. Ho
attended almost every social occasion of prom
inence and made everybody enjoy themselves
as much as ho did himself. The greatest of
soldiers who visited Washington were always
hushed when General Sherman was present ,
for they felt their smallness before him. For
tbcso and many other reasons , not to.speak

great general who was conquered by death In

r.xi'UtNi.vo CI.CVISLAHD'S LAST MOVIS.
The democrats in congress who nro trying
to recover f r < wi the demoralizing effects of
the Cleveland anti-silver letter are explaining
the maneuver of the ex-prcsldcnt as n shrewd
political movq nnd say ho intends by having
for himself Now York , Now England and
n solid south to secure a plurality of
the electoral college nnd throw tbo next
presidential election Into the house of repre
sentatives , which is democratic by nn over
whelming majority. About the capltol today
eastern democrats "rubbed It in" on their
southern brethren by saying that if Mr.
Cleveland Is nominated next year the south
will stand bv him rather than accept negro
domination. They contended that the an
nouncement of Mr. Cleveland nt this time
would solidify the emire east and make it absolutely
solutoly necessary for the empire state's democrats
ocrats to take care of their financial friends.
The held that with Mr. Cleveland in the Hold
and a solid south again In thosnddlothodcmo
cats could surely conio hero with a plurality
and the decision would Inevitably
go iuto the bousn of representa
tives. The Now York democrats
winked tholr loft optics slyly and said that
Mr. Cleveland would yet tcaeh the southern
nnd western democrats a trick or two. Some
of Mr. Cleveland's admirers go'as far as to
say that the announcement on the silver
question was a well matured political move ,
destined for the purposes stated above , and
that having announced himself on the silver
question nt a moment when It was necessary '
for the democratic leader to throw his power
Into the balance and defeat flat legislation nt
the bands of congress , when the democratic
party seemed to bo running wild , the east
must stand by him. Eastern demo
crats profess to bellovo that a
free coinage bill will bo sent to
President Harrison within the next twelve
mouths , surely within thrco months nftorvho
Fifty-second congress convenes , and that ho
will veto it nnd that the result will bo such
n strengthening of the farmers' alliance cnn-
.dldato upon a free coinage basts that the re
publicans can only hope fora few states in the
west. . Tills Is Mr. Cleveland's scheme , and
when his friends said that ho honed by this
early announcement on the silver question to
carry Now York and Now Encland and with
the south throw the determination of the
next election In the house of representatives ,
which wilt bo democratic by 141 ma
jority , the republicans can rcnully see with
what they will now have to contend , but
now that Air , Cleveland Is committed bo wll'
have to work upon the next house to defeat n
frco coinage bill. His is an niinouncemcn
that throws the west overboard and dellos
the south under pain of negro rule to orgaii
izongalnst him either before or after tl
nomination. The republicans nro greatly
pleased over the outlook. They are confident
that President Harrison will handle tbo sil
ver question in n way that will please tin
cast nnd not offend the west ; that ho will no1
make It necessary for tno United States gov
eminent ulono to attempt unlimited coinage
for the world and nt the same time will itr.
abridge tlio rights and privileges of silver .
They bellovo that ho will moro than hold hi :
own in the cast nnd with n monomctallst a

Nr.w VOIIK , Fob. 14. General Sliernmo
died this afternoon nt I ; 50 o'clock , surrounded
by his family.
All night long General Sherman wavered
between life and death and continued
to light bravely the hopeless battlo"
Knrly in tlio evening the physicians
knew the end was approaching slowly
but suroly. The swelling of the fnco
and neck disappeared , but with the subsi
dence of the symptom * of erysipelas came a
development of the lung trouble , complicated
with the return of long-standing aitlinui.
Mucus . began once more to nccutmilnto In the
lungs and the llrst signs of passive pneu
monia became apparent.
About 0 o'clock this morning a decided
chnngo for the worse sot In mid Dr.
Green was summoned from the lattcr's '
rushR'tico again. Another hour nnd till the
members of General Sherman's family wcro
summoned to the sick room. Wonth seemed
nearer , but the sufferer refused to succumb.
After n consultation of the physician ! ) ll
was given out that General Sherman's eoniU-
lion was liopoicsa , that tbo end was rapidly
approaching and that tbo bronchial dlfllculty
was making marked progress. At the tlmd
this bulletin wni issued them was by the dy
ing man's beside nnd In the adjoining
room , the general's unmarried danglers
Knehol nnd Llzzif , Mrs. Fiti-h , Mrs. Colgate
Iloyt , Ah-s , TlmckatM , Lieutenant Thucknnl ,
Senator John Sherman , I1. T. Sherman nnd
Drs. Jnnoway nnd Alexander , besides the
lattcr's ' assistant. Dr. Oreon ,
During the forenoon ns the hours passed
by every Inquirer who called nt the general's '
house was told that all hope had been nban-
itoncd , and bis relatives nnd attendants wcro
merely waiting for tbo end , nnd endeavoring
to make his last hours ns free from suffering
as possible. Among those who called were
Cyrus W. Field nnd Mrs. U. S. Grant.
Tlio general passed away witnoiit spooking
to any member of his family gathered about
the bed. Ills four daughters were pivaont
and his son , P. T. Sherman , and
Senator Sherman and the attending
physicians. Secretary Ilarrelt and some
other friends were In n room below. Soon
after 2 o'clock llnrrctt wont to the Western
Union telegraph ofllco and sent off a number
of dispatches to Washington , in which ho
announced tha tune of death as 1 : > 0 p. in.
The change In tbo appearance of things
about General Sherman's Into mildonco
caused by hla death was remarkable. A
small crowd of curious people bad gathered
on the sidewalk opposite the house and gnzud
nt the windows of the sick chamber with
anxious eyes. There wore faced nt nearly
every window in the housoa fronting nnd ,
within raniro of tbo Sherman mansion. The
sun had ' 'oased to shine nnd the liuuso of sorrow
row stood in the chill and shadow , moro
gloomy than over. A sudden pust of wind
tore tbo last bulletin of the patient's ' condi
tion from the door where it hud been posted
for public inspection. As It lluttered away
Into the street a llverod servant pushed hur
riedly through the door and out onto the
stoop. Ho bent toward the ofllccr on duty
anil whispered something to him. The nowil-
pnper moil drew closo. Everyone was ejij
pedant nnd waiting for an interpretation o (
tbo message. The policeman turned toward
tbo reporter , but tbo servant , as If the bur *
don of news was too great to longer contain , '
said in a smothered voice :
"Ho is gono. Ho died nt 1:50. : "
Instantly tbo scene changed. Young EwIng -
Ing dashed out of the house almost before the
words wore spoken and was running for the
telegraph oftlco. The newspaper men Joined
In the rush. The facoi disappeared from the
windows nnd tbo occupants of the housed
hurried into the street , eager to get nny in
formation they could.
Generals Slocnm , Collis nnd Woodward
cnmo from the house nnd held n short consul
tation regarding the arrangements of the
funeral. i General Slocum said the arrange
ments had not been perfectedbut that which ,
had been givcu out was correct. Ho and
General Howard will meet nt General Shor-
mnn's Into residence tomorrow to arrange tbo
details. General Collls said a guiird would
bo sent from Governor's Island to tulco chargci
of the remains whila they remained in tbo
houso. In , speaking of General Sherman's
illness General Collis snld that two weeks
ago ho had n conversation with the general
whllo that gentleman was visit
ing him at his house , of which
the subject was tbo approaching
anniversary of General Grant's birthday
April lit. General Sherman at that time ,
though In the best of healtb , said ho would
bo dead and in bis grave on the day when
tlio celebration occurred. Ho told General
Collis that ho had a premonition that while
nt a banquet some cold night ho would con
tract r. cold which would carry him off. This
sight into the future was regarded by Gon-
CIMI Collls as something uncanny.
In tills city the feeling is ono of profound
sensation. In every grade of life the veteran
soldier was known and loved for his unsel
fish services to bis country nmHiIs personal
attributes. Expressions of public man were
without exception lliled with sorrow nnd
regret for his taking-off. Ex-Sonator
Kicrnnn snld , nnd ho voiced tha opinion of
nil : ' 'With the passing away of General
Sherman wo lose tbo very last great figure of
tbo civil war. There is no mini left about
whoso personality Is grouped any of tbo great
historical memories or Idenllsm of the strug
gle for the union. Ho was u man whoso mili
tary and civil lifo wcro untarnished by a.
shadow of doubt or suspicion , nnd his death
will bo regretted ns severely ai that of nny
man in the world. "
Everyone was eager to add to the eulogy
upon the character of this great man with a.
heart ns simple as a child's. Ao a mark of
respect it will bo moved that the Now York
legislature attend the funeral In a body.
At Worcester , Mass. , ( lags wcro placed at
half-mast and tbo bells throughout the city
tolled In his honor.
The governor of Rhode Island has issued an
order eulogizing the career of General Sher
man nnd ordering the Hags of tbo state to ba

At Augusta , Mo , , Governor Burlolgh or
dered the lings on public buildings at half
mast and sent a telegram of condolence ,
The funeral services over the remains of
