by those in attendance and the general
himself. Just how serious the result
would be on the r. neral CONDITION OF the
patient could not be ioretold early In the
morning, but at $3.50 a. m. there was no
perceptible increase of debility or weak
ness caused by the loss of blood. the
hemorrbage this morning was arteriai
blood. The general seems not az Al,
alarmed, and the family was not very
greatly frightened. The hemorrhage
was due somewhat to an increase OF the
disease, induced by momentary mt OF
coughing. The probabilities are that he
will survive to-day.
6p. m.-Gen. Grant has been sleepin 3

awakened and taken food and stimu-
lants. His pulse Is 10, volume fair;
Temperature, i0l. There has been no

BALrIMoRE, April 7.-Col. Charles
Marshall, chief of Gen. Lee's

meeting of Gen. Graut and Lee says:
WWhen eh0wn into the room Gen. Grant
advanced and shook hands with Gen.

while Gen. Lee WAS in full uniform:
apology 10 Gen. Lee for calling without
his side arms, and said that mis- sword
was with his baggage, and because OF
his desire to reach the place for the con-
ference, he had FASTENED on in undress
uniform. This was tho only allusion to
a sword that was made at the inter-
view after the terms OF the surrender
were ettled. Gen. Grant explained
that he was advised that Gen. Lees
forces had a number of federal prison.
srs, who, like their eaptrrs, were out OF
rations. Gen. Sheridan replied that he
could supply $1,000 rations. Gen: Grant
then instructed him to send $4,000
rations to den. Lees commissary.
After the interview Gen. Lee asked for
Gen. Williams, and thanked that officer
for kindness shown his son, Gen. Curtis
Lee, who had been captured some days
before. The federal officers flied the
front porch. Col. Marshall Is not sure
that Gen. Grant was amOrg them, tor
his thoughts were busy with other mat

with all a woman's ardor, where he act

huge barbarian attendant in pettlcoat
and skins beside hin, was the cyno-
sure of every eye. 1t was in 1879
that he was elected to the throne of
the newly formed State of Bulgaria,
to which he is now endeayouring to
add the sovereignty of Eastern
Roumelia. He is the second son of
Prince Alexander of Hesse, brother
of the late Empress of Russia. His
mother was born Countess Won
Hancke and was The daughter of a
former Polish Minister of war, but
she was created Princess of Batten-
berg on her marriage. His elder bro
Their, Louis, is an officer of the British
navy, and his younger, Henry, Bea-
%trice's lord. He was originally an Off
Ger in the Prussian service, but joined
the Russian army and served gallant
ly through the huSSo- uiklSh war.
In 1888 he won the hearts of the
BulgNrians, who supported him heart
and soul, by demanding of Russia
why the BuIgarianS should not have
a home Minister of their own instead
of having to submit to the dictation
of a foreign official, and compelled her
to recall her Ministers and replace
them by popular men. Last year he
created enthusiasm by riding on
horseback almost unescorted through
his dominions to know and become
known to his people, and now he has
aroused the popular ELECTION by pro-
claiming The unity of the two Bulga-
rins. They are placing their lives

seemed as if there had been gather
ed and together put away on that
lofty and isolated small summit all
those grotesque, apparently artificial,
natural rocks, which, attracting the
attention of the curious traveller, are
usually found scattered singly and at
wide intervals over the face of the
whole earth. He was of opinion that
each Of the rock monsters on the top
of Roraima, whether it consists of "A
single rock or of a pile of rocks, is
gradually melting away under the in.
huence of the aerial denudation which
