WASHINGTON , February 12. Sen
ator Sherman last night furnished the
following statement for publication
"I have scon the telegram of the
Western Associated Press in the load
ing papers of Ohio of Friday morning ,
urporting to give the testimony of
? 'itnoy before the treasury investigat
ing committee. I have rood the testi
mony given by him , and there is not
one word of truth in the whole tele
gram. NojHich testimony was given ;
no such scone occurred , and no letters
of Senator or Mrs. Sherman were pro
duced by Pitney as alluded to. I am
authorized by Senator Halo , who is
mentioned , and to whom I showed
the dispatch , to make the same denial.
The telegram is a wholesale lie , as the
testimony when printeed will show.
( Signed ) ' 'JOHN SHERMAN. "
The above statement being shown
Mr. Titnoy later in the evening , ho
wrote the following :
"I endorse the statement of Mr.
Sherman respecting the testimony of
myself before the senate committee as
correct.
'Signed , ) "A. L. PITNEY. "
The statement referred to was in
brief a charge that Pitney has dis
played to the investigating committee
letters from Senator and Mrs. Sher
man written him when in the treasury
department , requesting him to send
treasury employes to the Sherman
residence to make repairs on the
house or work of a similar nature.

OUR CONSULS.
Digest of Their Monthly Re
ports to the State
Department.
WASHINGTON , February 12. The
monthly publication by the state de
partment of consular reports , just is
sued , has some interesting statements ,
by consuls in various parts of the
world regarding American trade and
its needs.
Consul Shaw , of Manchester , Eng
land , writes : At present American
manufacturers and merchants suffer
seriously from th'o lack of throe great
aids to fight commercial prominence
in the foreign markets of the world.
First , direct lines of American ships
to foreign ' ports ; second , widely ex-
tendcdoa'nking facilities at the dis
tant trade centres ; third , branch
hpuscs in. every great foreign market.
Consul Brocks , . -Cork' , says : The
only" possible wayJin my judgment.
co establish a groper equilibrium and
Americans
will'bo' able 'to realize 'the advantages
naturally belonging to them is first ,
by creating a system of financial ex
changes controlled by ' Americans ,
hinged upon the condition of who
American market , and second , as has
been repeatedly 'suggested ' , by the re
vival of American ocean shipping.
Consul Prindlo , at Bahai , Brazil ,
says there exists here a large field for
the extension of American commerce ,
but it will bo a long time before it
can bo brought out unless wo shall be
represented by a first class American
house or houses to exhibit , 'defend ,
and push our products and manufac
tures. Another most powerful factor
to very largely increase trade betwonn
the United States and South America
would bo the establishment of a line
of nine steam vcHsels under our Hag.
I quite agiuu with all our consuls who
have written on the subject. Without
exception , so far as I have soon , they
advocate the extension of government
aid to certain lines of such vessels. I
believe some millions could bo so em
ployed with advantage to the general
interests of the American people.
Consul Morriul , Iquiquo , Peru , says
the proportion of American vessels
arming ut this point compared with
those of other first class powers is
very small. For the last four years
only one American vessel arrived
direct from Now York with an assorted
cargo. I have persuaded merchants
into sending trial orders , the goods
to be brought by vessels bound to
Valperaiso which , after discharging
the bulk of their cargo there , come
hero to load nitrate. This indirect
mode of importation , however , has
its disadvantages as a delay of weeks
might be suffered. Now York wants
vessels bound to Valparaiso. The
remedy needed is moro ships , whether
sailing vessels or steamers , which
come direct to this port.
Consul General Weaver , at Vienna ,
writes concerning the proposed line
of steamships from Trieste to Now
York , under date of 'January Oth :
The Austrian line , Lloyd steamship
company , announce the intention of
sending out on the J5th u steamship
from Trieste to Now York. This will
bo an experiment in order to ascertain
if trade between these ports can bo
made profitable. It is to bo hoped
it may not be lightly abandoned , but
prove successful and tend to the de
sired development of trade between
the United States and Austria-
Hungary , This may therefore bo a
favorable opportunity for our mer
chant * to investigate the practicability
of extending trade in this direction ,
Consul Shaw , at Manchester , says :
It is not my province to point out
the vast iniluenco the English steam
ship lines exert on , the commerce of
the world. It is simply colossal in
magnitude , and the income from those
lines is believed by well informed expert -
port a to amount to the enormous sum
total of 25,000,000 annually. The
second element in the race for com
mercial prominence in foreign ports
is a complement of tirst-class
banking facilities , which must follow
'
rather than go before the establish
ment of American lines of steamers ,
Capital willfollow wherever ships load
th'o way and open up a field for its
safe and profitable employment ,

WASHINGTON , February 11. Mr.
Clements , of Saratoga , brother-in-law
of A. M. Soltedo , arrived here to-day ,
and has nskod Charles A. Hood to defend -
fond Charles Soltado when hois tried.
A. M. Soltedo wns reported to bo
sinking rapidly at JO o'clock to-night ,
and Clements and Hood wont to the
hospital to take dying statement.
Mr. Clements did not arrive at the
hospital , which is a long distance from
the hotel , until after the death of Mr.
Soltodo. Ho was much afl'octcd in
learning the fact of death. The coroner
ner has just boon notified , and will
probably hold an inquest on Monday.
Hnrton is reported doing quite well.
He was sitting up this evening , nnd
said that but for a lameness on his
ankle , occasioned by a fall during the
tight ho would bo able to bo out in n
few days.
Mrs. Soltodo was at her husband's
bedside at the time of his death. She
had boon u constant attendant on him
since the shooting , as had also hie
sister. During the day and evening
no visitors were admitted to the sick
room. This was ordered nt the dying
man's request , the number of his call
ers having increased since the night
of the shooting and their questionings
having an irritating olfoct During
the day ho had less pain and scorned
cheerful and anxious to talk. As ho
was speaking a marked look of rigor
was noticed. Ho was admonished to
refrain from conversation , and his
remarks were nearly nil con
fined to family affairs. In
labored conversation with his
wife ho expressed his belief
that as ho was growing no worse , there
was a possibility for him to recover.
Subsequently Dr. Bliss , standing by
his bcdsido , holding his limp and use I
less hand , said : "Mr. Soltedo , you
are aware that wo consider your case
as hopeless ? " "I am , " the patient
answered , -promptly. "But , doctor ,
I feel much better to-day , but of
course if I cannot recover I am pre
pared to moot the inevitable. " Ho
closed his eyes ; then at times slept
fitfully , and when airako was per
fectly conscious of his surround
ings. There was little change
in his condition during the after
noon , but this evening his
condition seemed rather worse. Still
he retained consciousness and hope ,
and the change was not so apparent
until 10 o'clock. Dr. Bliss had visited
him in the evening and left at 10
o'clock , not deeming it probable that
death would ensue for some hours at
least. He had scarcely reached homo ,
however , before a telegraph message
was received saying that Sotoldo had
grown much worse since his departure
and was believed to bo dying. Ho
immediately hastened to the hospital ,
but did not arrive until after death.
Sotoldo was unconscious up to within
a comparatively short time before his
death , and ho expressed himself ro-
siuned to his death , saying that ho
was contented to die. Ho spoke not' '
, . .
? i f i t
unkindly of Barton , saying that
ho did not longer hold
any feelings against him , and
that all that ho regretted
WAS his rash conduct in the matter ,
Mrs , Sotoldo was much affected when
the end came , though she had boon
prepared for it by the announcement
of Dr. Bliss yesterday that his death i
could bo but a matter of a few hours. '
The mooting between Mrs. Sateldo
and her brother , Mr. Clements , was
very affecting. Concerning the arito-
mortem statement which Mr. Sotoldo
wa reported to have made yesterday
Mr. Jno. Carson , a personal friend ,
und who was in the sick room a great
deal yesterday , said to-day that
if such a statement was made "
it must have boon very brief and
simply to the ell'oct that .Sotoldo bo *
licveu that Barton ehothiin. Ho coulil
not have gone into details us the
wound had been received shortly af
ter entering Barton's room.
The'diHtrict attorney declines to give
Sotoldo's so-called ante-mortem state *
mont to the public. It is understood
that the paper is not strictly an ante-
mortem statement ; it consists nimbly
of notes-takon by Mr. Perry while
Taggart talked with Sotoldo , Speak
ing of the statement the district at *
torney ( said' "It is absurd to
aik mo to tjivo * out n
man's ante-inortem statement ,
It would 1)0 ' violating all the proprie
ties of lifo'for mo to do such a thing.
The reason that I asked Mr. Perry to
go there was because I could not
allow ono of my own - assistants to go
on the stand in such a case. That
would bo manifestly improper. "
Gen , Boynton , who has boon /or
many yean an associate of Sotoldo in
newspaper work returned at mid
night from the hospital , where ho
stood by the death bo1' , Ho said :
"Nobody could make Sotoldo believe
that ho was not going to got well un
til after 10 o'clock to-night , He had
been free from pain all day and had
regained some fooling in his hands
and legs. At about ton minutes past
10 o'clock this evening ho himself no
ticed that ho was growing weaker and
suggested to some one about him that
such was the case. Ho ut that time
Hoomed to huvo unusual difficulty ii
breathing , but as this passed after i
few moments the attendants did not
think that his suggoHtion that the em
waa near was so true as the next 1ml
hour proved. Ho , however , insisted
that ho was losing ground rapidly , and
the attendant fooling his pulse found
that it was scarcely perceptible. His
wife nnd sister , who were in an ad
joining room , wore immediately
at nil bcdsido in a mo
ment , but none too soon
to hoar the farowcll. There
were but few words tpokon and the
hospital surgeon who had boon cnllod
was powerless to stay the summons
and j with the words 'I'm going , ' Ho-
tcldo sank Into unconsciousness and
_ twenty minutes later was dead. "
i From a gentleman who was with
Sotoldo yesterday and to-day it is
learned that he made nothing that
the Inw would probably recognize as
tud an anto-mottcm statement , rs ho
did not believe ho was going to die.
Ho , however , insisted as docs the
younger Sotoldo , that Barton not only
tired the fatal shot , but thut he tired
the i first shot.
Corkhill holds tightly on to his
notes of his interview with Sotoldo
just after the shooting , refusing to
give them for publication until after
the inquest.
A post mortem examination will bo
nmdo to-morrow , and when the ball is
found the question ns to the shooting
will soon -bo settled , as the three
pistols of Barton and the two Sotol-
dos wore all of different size. Barton
expressed sorrow to-night on hearing
of the death.
W. H. Clomnnts , father-in-law of
Sotoldo , is in Florida spending the
winter. Ho has boon telncraphod ,
but has not yet responded , the mes
sage having probably failed to roach
him.
WASIUNCITON , February 12 , The
autopsy on the remains of A , M , So
toldo was hold at 11 a. m. to-day by
Dr. J. F. Hartigan , assisted by Drs.
Bliss and Sewers , who had attended
Sotoldo since ho was shot. An elab
orate report of the autopsy in techni
cal phraseology has boon made sub
stantially as already told in the notrtt-
papers. The surgeons say , "after
traversing the soft part the bill entered
the canal in the course , fracturing the
lamina of the fourth , vertebnu n little
to the loft of the spinous process ,
driving before it several small pieces
of specula , and penetrating the dura
matter , slightly lacerating the cord
and depositing in itssubstanco a small
spoctilum of bono , imbedding itself in
the intervortobnu fornmon formed by
the fourth and fifth vertebra ) . " The
report is made to the district
attorney and signed by Doctors
Bliss , Sewers and JIarti an. The
ball weighed 96 grains , a fraction of
a grain less than the ono taken ironi
Barton's neck. The fact that the
balls in Barton's pistol were tlat attho
base , while these are hollow nt the
base , fixes the fatal shot as coming
from the pistol of1 A. M. Sotoldo.
A jury .was impannelcd. and
after viewing the body udjourhbd

at 0 a. m. to-morrow. The funeral
will take place from the deceased's
homo on Wednesday. The romams

the present and removed west as soon
as the family decide as to a final rest

fense of young Soteldo and does net
intend to do so.

There is no news of any importance
from Ireland. Informers are springing -
ing up all over the country , and the
castle finds it easy work to deal both
with the league and the Fenians.
When informers appear on the Irish
stage it may bo taken for granted
that the ice is rotten. Mr Forstor ,
who ia nlmoss aa unpopular among
liberals as among Parnollites , is ablu
to confound his Irish enemies in the
house by relating the fifty attempts
on his life , and the barbarous cruel
ties perpetrated by unduly zetloua
patriots on dumb animals. When
Mr. McCarthy demands the release of
the suspects , Mr. Forstor points to
the unrepentant Father Shoohy , and
asks with an unanswerable uir if Mr.
McCarthy considers the Chicago convention -
vontion "conH'itutional "
n gathering.
On the whole , the Irish members of
his session are not likely to make
inuch headway , although Mr. Forstor
