There were no indications that medical service would be needed before the time for the doc-t- , i , tor's rRuUturisit this morning. ' The , nature of the admirals disease made it t dangerous for him to lie on bis back, so that he was accustomed to rest sitting up on a large sofa with his back and head supported by pillows. The admi-ral was nwoke at 0:4.1 this morning and took his nourishment as usual. He afterwards fell into a light . sleep and gave no indication whatever of the end so near at hand. At8 o'clock tho admiral's son Rich-aid- , who slept by his side, noticed a change in his father's condition. He was breathing with difficulty and seemed to be choking. The household was at once aroused and Dr. Wales tent for. The patient's pulse grew faster and fainter ami at 8;15 o'clock ceased to beat. At that hour he gasped convulsively and expired without a word. Dr. Wales reached tho house almost immediately after being notified an i applied all the restorativos known to medical science but to no effect. Word was at once sent to tho presi-dent ami secretary of the navy and the Hags on the white house and all other publio buildings were place at half mast. Secretary Tracy promptly vis-ited the family and conferred with them in regard to the funeral arrange-ments, it was settled that the funeral should be marked with tho highest military honors and the interment should be at the Arling ton national cemetery. A large num-ber of people in otlicial life called at the house this morning and loft messages of sympathy for the family. Tele-grams of condolence were also received ' from prominent pyoplu from ail over the country. The time of tho funeral has not yet been tixed. The usual order will be issued by the navy department this afternaon. The president was informed of Admiral Porter's death, and 'sent a message of sympathy to the family. Ho subsequently sent a message to congress notifying that body of the death, and in the afternoon issued an executive order closing tho execu-- ' tive departments on the day of the funeral, and directing that the flags on all public buildings be placed at half mast on that occasion.

TIJECIIAINOFEVIDENCE It is Wound So Tightly Around Secretary Gibson that Conviction of Arson is Made Possible A FLUID THAT ACTS LIKE A FLASH When a Drop of It Came in Contact With Paper a Flash of Fire Shot Up Into the Boom Chicago, Feb. 111. This morning at-torney Harry of the counsel for Gibson, secretary of the whisky trust, with Dis-trict Attorney Milchrist, made an ex-amination of the package said to have been delivered by Gibson to Dewar. When the package was opened a pint bottle full of a light bluish lluid was discovered. A drop of this was put upon a piece of paper, and the in-stant it came in contact with the paper there was a Hash and a stream of lire shot up and the room filled with suffocating, sulphurus fumes. So quickly did the paper burn that a bucket of water had to be thrown on it to prevent the tire from communi-cating with other materials. A strong smell was emitted by the fluid which proved its its principal ingredient to be phosphor-ous. Milchrist said on the resust of the experiment: "Our purpose of making an experiment was to find out if in the bottle which (libson the fluid was the same as that gave Dewart. Such it proved to be. It fastens a chain of evidence securely around Gibson and makes it possible to indict him for attempted arson." THE RESOLUTION WAS TABLED. Free Trader Cleveland the Choice ol Jill-sou- rl Yet. St, Loi'is, Feb. 18. Kxeitenient was caused in the lower branch of tho legis-lature at Jefferson City this morning, when Representative F.rnst introduced a resolution setting forth the fact that Cleveland had taken a stand against free coinage and could not therefore be the choice of the democratic party for president. After a heated debate the resolution was tabled. PLAYING INTO THE MUGWUMPS. Cleveland's Petition on the Sliver Question oundlr Kldiculed. Denver, Feb. 12. The Hooky Moun-tain Nows (democratic), in an editorial on Cleveland's letter, says. In part: "There is nothing left for the free coin-age democrats ol the country but to or-ganize to defeat Mr. Cleveland's uomi-natio- Jt can be and should be done, and it can and will lie done New Orlkans. Feb. 12. The Times-Democra-referring to the Cleveland letter says Cleveland Is not in accord with the democrats of the country. Wo regret exceedingly that he should have written this letter." Tlie Pica-yune says: "Mr. Cle eland has taken a position his friends will have cause to regret." ' Kansas City, Feb. 13. The Times says: "If Cleveland is prepared to sus-pend his private judgment in case he is elected, he may get tiie nomination and be elected. If not, the party had belter study other candidates." Sr. Lous. Feb. IX Tho Republic says: "The letter is merely a private opinion of a single democrat, and com-mits neither the party nor Cleveland himself. If the matter is not settled by the adoption of free coinage before '02 the entire matter should be left to the democratic national convention. On its adoption of a platform of tariff re-form and free coinage it will be Cleve-land's duty to accept both the nomina tion and platform if the party demands his leadership." Nkw York, Feb. 13. The Sun says Cleveland's letter is as disingenious and amusing a document as has recent lv proceeded from his industrious pen. Whilo primarily intended for the placa-tio- n of his mugwump friends who have been inconveniently persistent in their demands that Cleveland should "dare to be a Daniel" on the silver question, the letter squints at the southern and western democrats. The peril in Cleve-land's present view is not in liberal ex-tension of silver currency, for "we have demonstrated the usefulness of such an increase." It is in "free, unlimited and independent silver coinage" that he sniffs disaster. Who demonstrates tho usefulness of such increase! True to the last to hisdostiny, Grover Cleveland dares only to be a stuffed Dauiel on tho silver question. Deaths frnin the Uuebeo Esploslun. Qcebkc, Feb. 13.

THE "CHEAP GOODS" SYSTEM. American Manhood is Not to be Degraded in Order That Merchandise May be Cheap. Toledo, Feb. 13. Lincoln's birth-day was chosen for tho fourth anuual convention of tho Ohio League Repub-lican club, and tho session was hold in this city. Tho event of the occasion was a banquet In Memorial ball last night. Threo hundred guests were present, including many men of nation-al repute. Congressman Ashley res-ponded to the toast, "Abraham Lin-coln." lion. William McKinley responded to-th-toast, "An American Tariff for American" People." His address was essentially a reply to Cleveland's speech at the Thurmau banquet last November. "It was," he said, "gratifying to the frieuds of protection to have that emi-nent democratic leader make an open confession of tho purposes which he and his party associates aim to. accom-plish by a free trade traffic. Assigned to respond to the inspiring sentiment, "American citizenship.' he made cheap-ness the theme of his discourse. His avowal was only that which the pro-tectionists have always claimed to be the inevitable tendency of bis tariff pol-icy, which exalts cheap goods from abroad above good wages ut home. "The tariff reformer gravely asks why wo want manufacturing establishments In the United States when we can buy our goods in other countries as cheap as we can manufacture them ut borne, if not cheaper? The masses of the people are in no temper for such sug-gestions, and will never consent to the inauguration of a policy which will scale down their wages and render it harder to obtain tho necessaries of life. The "cheap coats" to which the gentle-man is so much attached do not tempt them, for many remember that in the previous free trade eras of our history they were too poor to buy them at any price. "Is American manhood to be de-graded that merchandise may be cheap! ('oats at any price, or at any sacrifice, even to the robbery of the laborer, are not the chief objects of American civilization. We scorn cheap coats upon any such terras or condi-tions. They are nasty at such a price. The gentleman who is now so insistent for cheap necessaries of life, while in office and clothed with authority, was unwilling that . sugar, an article of prime necessity to every household, should come untaxed to the American people, when it was known that it was an annual burden upon them of MO, 000,000. He stood then as an uncom-promising friend of dear sugar for tho masses. During his term he was dis-honoring, discrediting silver and en-hancing the value of gold. He endeav-ored, even before his inauguration, to stop the coinage of silver dollars, and afterwards and to the end of his admin-istration persistently used his power to that end. lie would have increased the value of money and decreased the value of everything else. Money the master, everything was its servant. Was there ever more of glaring inconsistency or reckless assumption? "The tariff reformer has, in his wild ecstacy over the victory, been betrayed into an avowel of his real He believes poverty is a blessing to be promoted anil encouraged, and that a shrinkage in the value of every-thing but money is a national benefit. He no longer conceals his love for cheap merchandise, even though it entails the beating down of the price of labor and curtails the comforts and opportunities of the masses. Those who advocate duties solely for revenue see only as a result cheaper prices, which are but temporary at best, and do not see the other side lower wages, cheaper labor, agricultural depression and general dis- - tress. Mr. McKinley went on to eulogize the protective system, and said if this policy is to be reversed it must be done, not by clamor or misrepresentation, not by schoolmen and theorists, but. after the fullest discussion and investigation, by the sober and intelligent judgment of tho majority constitutionally regis-tered. The only menace to our advance-ment and prosperity to our wage earn-ers and farming interests is a party pledged to repeal the new law and the substitution of the British system in its place. Free and full discussion will avert the danger. Nothing else will. 900 Loom ara Idle. Fall River, Mass., Feb. 13 All mill weavers in the Cornell mill struck this afternoon, and 060 looms are idle. POLICE PICKINGS. Major Stanton Olvee rhasa and Captures a Naeak. Chief Stanton of the lire department made a run shortly after 2 o'clock this afternoon that settles for tho present era at least all questions as to the title of championship in the world of sprint-ing. It is not often that he is called up-on to do police duty or imperson-ate the roll of a sleuth, but while he was standing on the corner of First South and State road for the "tremendous ex-plosion" that never came, his attention was attracted to 55 First South by a wayfarer who was evidently in trouble.-Goin-to his rescue the chief detected a brace of fugitives shooting down the street, and without waiting to turn up his trousers, he started in pursuit. Through alleys and across thorough-fares they sped, the chief gaining at each lap until "ihe fugitives reached the round house of the street car company whore they disappeared. The chief was not to be eluded however and con-tinued through coal sheds and other buildings until the stable loft was reached. Into its contents he began to burrow until finally he unearthed a leg on which he proceeded to pull. The captive was dragged forth and the pro-cession moved to police headquarters, where the fellow who was caught rob-bing Ike Lauck's apartments was slated as Frank Murray. Murray was accompanied by a pal for whom the officers were still searching at last re-ports. The Cantlon trial was continued again today until 8 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. The case of the I. X. L. Saloon for a disorderly resort will come up at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. William Collett was nabbed bv Off-icer Jenkins today for reckless driving over a street crossing. The officers are determined that the offense shall be corrected at once. llEWlLLRECOVER A Decided Change In the Condi 53 tiouof General William Te-- . cumseh Sherman. o 1 If He Holds Oat Through the Day Then CO is More Than a Fair Chance of Hii Recovery, , z A NIGHT OF BEST AND REPOSE O tH ' Since .Midnight He Huh Rejrularly - Tuken Nourishment of Milk Q and Whisky. rJ u At 10:30 O'olock This Morning the Oen- - m eral'i Family Were Cheerful and Con- - fident of Hii Recovery. 4 THE CRISIS HAS BEEN PASSED. - One Lang-- is Entirely Free sad the Other Partially Filled With Mueus-- Xo , Danger From Pneumonia. ..--.' New York, Fob. 13. 7 a. ni. Ona of the attendants came to the dour and announced that General Sherman had passed the night quite comfortably. He lias partaken of nourishment several times. Dr. Alexander, who remained at the bedside, expressed the opinion, that the general had a chance of re-covery, especially if he'eontinned to do a well through the day as he , did v through the night. Senator Sherman this morning sent a telegram to his wife in Washington. The dispatch said the general had rested easy during tho night and seemed to bo free from pain. The family 'ia much encouraged. ' There is no doubt but that General , Sherman's condition is greatly ira- - '' proved this morning. He passed the night with no repetition of the sinking; spells of last night. He had a bad turn early in the evening. At 8 o'clock from Private Secretary Barrett it was learned that the general had a night of rest. Mr. Barrett, in speaking of tho im-provement, said it had been noticeable that since midnight he had regularly taken nourishment of milk and whisky and the watchers found no difficulty ia rousing him. "Where bis chances were one in a thousand yesterday," said the secretary, "they now are one in tea . and we have reason, now to entertain, ; some hope." ,. ;, Dr. Janeway called this morning at 8:30 o'clock aud remained twenty rain " utes. On leaving hetftid: "The gen eral is holding his own and there ia some improvement. There is always danger from pneumonia." At 10 a. ui. Dr. Alexander and Pri-vate Secretary liarrett said if the pres-ent condition, of General Sherman con-tinues throughout the day he has mora than a fair chance of recoverv. At half past 10 o'clock P. T. Sher-man, the general's son, when spoken to in regard to the published statement to the effect that General Sherman had received extreme unction, emphatically denied that such was the case. "The general." he said, "was not a Catholic and never had been one." The family this morning was quite cheerful as they now entertain hope of tho general's' recovery. Some trouble was "experienced in keeping the general in lied. At this hour no change is reported in the gen-eral's condition. At l:!il) p. ni. (ieneral Thomas Ewing said: "I think the general has passed the crisis in his disease. Ha has had four hours of und.isturbed aud restful repose, and before this he had not had two hours of quiet time. One lung is entirely free and the other one par-tially tilled with mucus. There is no indication of pneumonia, and the ac-tion of heart and stomach is good. The general is weak and still in a critical condition, but the chances for his re-covery are good." At 2:110 p. 111., General Sherman was resting easily. It is thought that the J disease is arrested. The outlook ia encouraging. EICHTY-FIV- E BALLOTS TAKEN.

Mr. Warde impersonated tho ambitious Cardinal Wolsey with char-acteristic force. Mrs. Bowers blended into her part in an admirable manner. There is not the fire and force in "Henry VII" to corrmnd it that there is in the most of .he Shakespearean plays, and Mr. Wanie will doubtless be seen at his best tonight ia "Merchant of Venice."

Pattl Rosa. - Patti Rosa, who has already estab-lished herself as a favorite in this city, plays a brief engagement at the theater Monday and Tuesday evenings, appear-ing in her latest play, "Imp," at the opening performance, and in "Margery Daw" Tuesday night. She has the aid of an exceptionally talented company and her performances everywhere have been commended for their bright, pleasing and entertaining qualities. Of her work and that of her company in "Imp" a southern exchange says: The character is well suited to Miss Rosa and gives her abundant opportu-nity to display her ability to dance, sing and play upon the banjo. Nothing more than this could be desired. The plot is really better than the average and altogether furnishes enough to de-light any audience. The company outside of Miss Rosa is very strong. It embraces some of the best kuown people on the stage, and is a stronger organization than ever Lotta or any of Miss Boca's rivals have ever dared to have. Miss Rosa is wise p surrounding herself with such people, for she is a star of so great magnitude that no one can approach her, and in fact she must have good people or she will outshine them to too great an ex-tent. Patti Rosa's success this season has beon greater than ever before, and where she has been she has played to the largest houses of the season. Last week in Atlanta. Macon and Montgom-ery she broke the record, and nowhere has she failed to delight all who have seen her. Baseball Magnates In Session.

The or-ganization includes curiosities and wonders unequalled in any show on earth, not excepting the freaks intro-duced by the wonderful P. T. Barn 11 111. With a seating capacity for 500 peo-ple accompanied with delightful music and the very best of order there is no reason why the Wonderlaud museum and Bijou theater should not become one of the leading attractions among the ladies and children of Salt Lake city as tho best of order and respect of prerence is absolutely guaranteed. The management employs thirty-fiv- e people and with the small admission of 25c. and tho promise of a change of the attractions each week, there is no rea-son why Manager Sackett should not meet with a liberal patronage at the hands of Salt Lakes loving amusement people.

The objection to mixed schools is very strong, and probably found its highest expression iu the attempt to pass the Glenn bill iu Georgia, a few years ago. This bill provided that any teacher who taught both white aud colored children in the same school should be iiable to a fine of $1,000, to twelve months in the state prison, or a year's service on the chain gang to any one, to either two, or all three of the penalties, at the discretion of the judge. This bill was passed by the Georgia legislature by 110 votes to two in opposition; trie two members who voted against the bill were colored men, and the only negroes in the legis-lature. This bill" afterwards passed the state senate with somo modification, which necessitated its return to the lower branch of the legislature, and it was dropped. Mr. Lewis H. Blair has written boldly in favor of abandoning the policy of maintaining separate schools. He says, "Separate schools are necessarily in-jurious to both colors. To the black they are a deliberate affront, and their tendency is to keep the whole negro population in a degraded condition," and he adds, of tho effects produced on tho whites, "One reason, most likely, why the south has always shown, ami still shows, so little intellectual develop-ment apart from law and politics, is be-cause the whites have been possessed of the idea that the height of superior-ity is a white skin, ami they have been content with that kind of eminence. Mixed schools will, in time, emancipate us from this fallacy." 1 quote these sentences because they express opinions which differ from the views that seem to prevail in the south; and. while it remains to be seen whether they will ever be generally adopted, it is still interesting, historically and ethically, to note the fact that they h.ivo beon already published in a southern city b,y a southern writer. 4 Cll'rago Hrtrkets.
