Physicians again met in consuitatou a 130 p m when it was apparent tbat th patient was rapidly sinking and could live but a few hours At 2 oclock the general revived sufficiently to recognize his wife who has been at his bedside night and day during his entire illness As she spoke to bim he looked up iuu her face and all who were pre nt knew that he recognized her bitIw the last manifestation of consciousness He then wearily closed his eyes and sank into a lethargic sleep from which be never awoke While the public has beu aware for a week or more that General Logan was confined to his room with rheumatism many even of his most intimate friends were ain < a-in as yesteraar afternoon nn suspicious of the serious character char-acter of the attack and to the masses the announcement in this mom mgs papers tbat the statesman lay at deaths door brought a shock of sorrowful sorrow-ful surprise All day long carriages of sympathetic callers have occupied the space in front o Calumet Place While hundreds of pedestrians of all walks in j I life have climbed the hill upon which j the Logan mansion stands to ask if it 1 I were true that all hope wa past I Among those who thus actively expressed I ex-pressed their grief and sympathy were the Secretary and Mrs Whitney Secretary Secre-tary and Irs Manning Senators Hansom Han-som and Waltball General and Mrs Cockrell Mr and Mrs

day from all parts of the country among the latest being oue from exSenator Conkling expressing his inability to credit the reported imminence of danger and asking ask-ing for information Though the doctors have given no word of hope during the day yet attendants as late as this noon refuse to give full credence to the alarming bulletins and whispered to inquirers something of the chances that toe sturdy frame of the sufferer and the united skill of the consulting physicians would tiring a revival of vitality sufbdent to dominate the insidious poison in his frame But after noon no one ventured to express the hope that the sufferer would last during the day Intimate friends gathered with the grieismcKen ana almost frantic relations about the bedside bed-side while in tbe spacious hall and parlors below the sadfaced throng remained in hushed expectancy The stifled sobs of tbe wife and children and inarticulate utterances the dying man were audible at times throughout the mansion At five minutes before 3 Dr Baxter came out of the sick room and said to one who was waiting for intelligence intelli-gence dimply faY he is bedside Then the voice of prayer at the btdside rose above the sobs of the stricken mourners mourn-ers and with its end ended tbe life of the warriorstatesman Among those at1 the bedside of tbe dying man were Senator and Mrs Cullom and daughter 1

I was one of tbe saauest experiences A have ever had I saw hima day or two sick then but I did He was very ago His death not suppose he was so near family did not think so and I do not either believe the doctors thought so He certainly did not act as if be thought he was about to die His death will prove a great loss to the country He was one of the ablest men I have ever met a man of fixed opinions and one always ready and able to maintain tbem Although we were both in the army during the war we did not become personally acquainted ac-quainted until it was over The scene at his death bed today was particularly distressing to me I never like to see a man die Of course I have seen thousands thous-ands of men killed in the battle but it never has had the same effect on me as to stand quietly by a bedside and see a I strong mans life ebb away During the war I never liked to go into the hospital to see tbe wounded nnd dying and I bad almost to be forced into them when it was necessary for me to visit them so you can imagine how keenly it affected me to stand by and see an old and esteemed friend pass away Secretary Bayard had not Heard of his death when the reporter of the Associated Press called ou him this evening but he had feared the end was near from what he had seen in the morning papers Said Secretary Bay ard Something suggested General Logan to my mind justlulf an hour ago and I turned to m jD children and remarked what a career he had baa I was thinking what a strong active vigorous life he bad led how much he had undergone how much he had suffered

SPEAKS AUGUSTA Me December 20 A re porterof the Associated Press called at Blames residence soon after the intelligence intel-ligence of General Logans deatl reached this city Mr BlaIne had lef i his chamber and though very lame from his recent illness had come down to hb library for the first time lit said the announcement had come u him without his being in tbe least degree de-gree prepared for it He had heard only in the forenoon that Genera Logans condition was considered critical Mr Blame discussed General Logans characteristics freely He had not personally known the General be fere the war and had met him for the first time when General Logan came to Washington from his command iu the field I think said Mr Elaine il was sometime during the winter ol 1863 that by mere accident I entered Mr Lincolns room just as General Logan was leaving The President introduced in-troduced me to the General and we had It very brief talk I remember said Mr Blaine that after General Logan had retired the President eulogized eulo-gized him very when adding that il was very fortunate when so many generals gen-erals had fallen far below expectation to find a few that had gone far beyond expectation and in the latter class he gave General Logan an eminent rank But I am not one said Mr Blaine to speak of General Logans military rank That can be far more fittingly done by his brother officers and thousands of veterans who are at this moment in tears over the death of their beloved leader in war their watchful and constant friend in peace History has I think definitely assigned General Logan his military rank the highest of volunteer officers in the army of the Union My close acquaintance with Mr Logan continued con-tinued Mr Blaine dates from his entrance I en-trance upon his duties as representative I at large from Illinois in the Fortieth I Congress He was elected to that post in November 1S56 From that time onward our relations came to be friendly and intimate The occasional statements as to jealousies and rivalries rival-ries were without foundation There never was an unkind word between us and so far as I know neither had an unkind thought of the other 1 say this knowing all it conveys and knowing know-ing also all it contradicts Blaine described Logan as Un man of force and legislative ability His will said Blaine was unbending his courage both moral and physical was of the highest order I never krew a more fearless man He did not quail before public opinion when he hail once made up his mind any more than he did bi I fore the guns of the enemy when he headed a charge of his enthusiastic troops In debate eaid Blaine General Logan was aggressive and effective His best prepared and longest sustained argument was the speech he made in the Senate during the Forty S xth Congress against the restoration of Fitz John Porter to the army The speech occupied if I remember aright part of three days and was marvel lously sustained throughout Logan had great feeling in that case and bad put a vast deal of study in it Genera Logan was a most indefatigable worker His close relations with the volunteer soldiery of the country in vched an immense correspondence and an immense labor in addition to the labor imposed upon him as the leading Senator fioni such a large State as Illinois He was a punctual faithful man and but for Lis constitution ol iron could not have gone through all the work that was put on him Logan loss to the Republican party is beyond computation His personal following in his party was very great and among veterans he had 3D almost solid body As a part leader Logan was singularly direct manly and candid His personal len l-en rgy and political power were strikingly Strik-ingly shown in his contest for the Senatorhip perhaps the most memorable mem-orable of the kind over waged in the United States The shock of his death is sq sudden the sorrow it brings sc keen that no full analysis of this remarkable re-markable man can be given at this time Full tributes will in due time be laid to him nis character and his ierv cis 1 have hal occs onto on-to say before and I now r peat that while there have been more illustrious military leaders in the United States and more ilIu trio is leaders in the Legis a ive Hall there has I think been no man in this country who has combined the two careers in so eminent a degree as General Gen-eral Logan It ACG C TI Me December To 3In Gntrol Lofton The startling new of jour husband death has int reached us Xe er until thi a rnlng old we receive an Intimation the > ie

ant In all quarters surprise and regret were nanifeeted Among those who had known General Logan the surprise wa nott marked for they had supposed him to b in almost perfect health and the regret withthese was the deepest or it had a foundation cf absolute cnowtadge of the man As the news spread among the people there was the same feeling of astonishment and sorrow sor-row General AV T Sherman who was found at his rooms in the Fifth Avenue Hotel lingered fondly over recollections recollec-tions of the early flavvof tbejwsr called uJi by then wi of Logans death which had been JelegrfifiS to him at once Said Genera Sherman I first I met General Login on a boat on the I Tennessee Kiver and from that time until the close of the war I had a good chance to know him as he fought for along a-long time du ctly under me No braver man ever ived He had erect personal courage and was msgntdceutm action In battle he manifested Intense devotion devo-tion to his cause and country Probably Proba-bly at the time of his deals he was the most conspicuous example of the volunteer soldier living Of late years in political life he was very ambitious but his desire to be President was laudable laud-able and fully warranted He was a constant attendant at army meetings and one of our best orators On the tnp to the Pacific at summer he seemed in the best of health and only two weeks ago he occupied the very next room to me in this hotel and seemed to be in his prime For many years after the war he was disposed to be captious and a faultfinder but of late years he has been beloved by all soldiers both volunteer and regular During the first period of the war he thought West Pointer swee disposed to monopolize everything but was among the first to acknowledge his error His death Isl
