The Experience of Doctors who Figure

WASHINGTON, April 20.-''It is the

IL Is easy to find fault, you know, and to
say this ought to have been done and
that ought 10 have been done. 1t is the
history Of all great medical cases that
the physicians taking part in them suffer

the men who struggled through
that, receiving the criticisms of the

them died from the overworx

another, DR.. Hamilton, has never recov-
cred from the serious affection 20 his
health which IL caused; DIR. Bliss has
never recovered, and is not able even 70
give very much attention TO his practice,
which, Of course. suffered greatly during
the time he was engaged on the case. DR..

M0RGANN0TA BLAINEITE
RECENT CHARGES EXPLAINED
TO THE ADMINISTRATION.

The South CarOIinian VIII, Therefore,
so to Australasia-An Endorsement of
Portions of Blaine's Foreign Policy
the Ground for the RumOr-CleveIand's
Expected Coming.
WASHINGTON, April 22.-James NJ.
Morgan, of South Carolina, appointed
Consul General for Australasia, has made
to the President and the Secretary of
State, at their request, an explanation of
the charge that he published a political
pamphlet advocating Blaine's election
last summer. The explanation is regard
ed as satisfactory, and Mr.. Morgan will
be allowed to go to his post. Mr.. Morgan
was appointed at the request of his
brother-in-law, +. W. Dawson, of the
Charleston Nea0S and Courier. He was
endorsed" by the principal Democrats Of
the State. His indOrsers vouched for his
general character. 1t was assumed that
he was a Democrat, when the charge was
made that he was Blaine man who had
written a pamphlet favOring Blaine's cleo
ton. Secretary Bayard asked him to ex-
plain.
THE EXPLANATION.
He said to the Secretary and afterwards
to the President that he was a Democrat
and had always voted the Democratic
ticket. He had never written political
pamphlet favoring Blaine's election. Last
spring, before either party had nominated
It's candidates, he was in Mexico pro-
noting mining and railway projects, and
in the furtherance of this business wrote
for private circulation a pamphlet about
the commercial relations of the United
States, Mexico and the Central American
States, in which he referred apprOvingly
to some phases of Blaine's foreign policy
as applied to Mexico and Central America.
1t was a non-partisan sta atement in a nOn-
partisan pamphlet, and had and could
have had no political effect whatever.
CLEYELAND'S TRIP.
The Atlanta delegation went home to-
day satisfied that the President would
visit Atlanta in May if it was possible for
him to do so. The members of the delega-
tion stated before they left that the delega-
| tiOn had made no recommendations re-
specting offices during their visit. They
confined themselves to the business
which brought them here. Ex-senator
Gordon had an interview with The Presi-
dent this evening.
LAWTON's RESIGNATION ACCEPTED.
1t is understood that the Secretary of
State to-day wrote Gen. Lawton stating
that his declinatiOn of the Russian mis-
sion had been accepted by the President,
and expressing the regret Of the President
and of himself.
CALHOUN'S GRANDSON.
John G. Calhoun, of Arkansas, a grand
/ son OF the South Carolina statesman, who
has been an applicant for the Belgian
mission, has Withdrawn his application
for that and win apply for the Consulate
at Glasgow. Scotland. He would have
been appointed to the Belgian mission, it
is stated, had he not withdrawn his appli-
cation.
KELLEY TO GET SOMETHING.
Mr.. Kelley, of Richmond. will get some
thing, but it will probably not be the
Italian mission. As he originally ap-
piled for a Consulship he can be probably
satisfied with another mission.

BERLIN, April 22.-The lower house
of the Prussian Landtsg to-day re-
jected by a vote of 1Sl to 12S the proposal
Of DR.. Windthorst, the Ultramontaine
leader, to repeal the law stopping the
temporalties Of the Catholic clergy. The
proposal was opposed by Herr Won GOss-
Ter, Minister of Ecclesiastical At
fairs. The latter said that
since 1884 nothing had occurred
at POsen to induce the Prussian Govern
ment to abandon the negative attitude
which it had hitherto observed toward the
clergy. The only way TO effect repeal
of tue law was by the Vatican making a
fresh appointment to the vacant arch
bishOpric of Posen. This, he said, was
once almost fdtt dccOmpi, but the Polish
and other influences prevented its fulfill
ment. 1t was necessary for the Arch
bishop of POsen to feel himself a
Prussian prelate and Prusslan subject, to
cOnfine himself to church matters, and to
avoid the rocks upon which his prede-
cessOr had been wrecked. AS long as the
title of "Primate OF Poland" applied to
the Archbishop of Posen by the Vatican,
had a real meaning 1t would be the duty
Of the Prussian Government to see that
the claim implied should not be conceded.
A motion to exempt from punishment

HEELERs PUN OUT OF OFFICE.
Secretary whitney Stirring Up the Mare
IsIand EmplOYes.

WASHINGTON, April Secretary
Whitney has written the following letter
to Commodore John ii. Russell, COM
mandant of the Mare Island navy yard,
relative to the coercion of the vote of that
yard by the foremen at past elections:
Since assuming the duties of this office, my
attention has been called to the conduct Of
the foremen of the Mare Island navy yard IN
elections in past years, particularly in 1882
After reading the testimony in the contested
election case of Buck VS.. Dudley, taken in the
fall Of 1882, there is no doubt in my mind that
the vote Of the yard was practically coerced
and controlled by the fOremen, either with or
without orders. The men were obliged to
take their ballots in folded form from a table,
presided over by one or more Of the fOrcmen,
hold the ballot in sight while walking to the
polls 100 feet distant, between men stationed
for the purpose OF preventing any change Of
the ballots on their part, and the ballot de-
posted without the voter having had an Op-
partunity 10 see or know its contents, or 10
exercise any choice for whom he should cast
his ballot.
TURNING THE RAsCALs OUT.
find that the same foremcn who con-
Quoted tins proceeding are still at the yard
in various departments. Great complaint is
made to me OF similar proceedings IN other
years. but / have already read sufficient OF
this sworn testimony to satisfy me that the
men who were engaged IN that proceeding as
fOremen, directing aud controlling it. should
be cleared out Of the yard in the interest OF
decent government, and IL any similar pro-
ceeding, or anything like il, or any attempt TO
cocrce the vote OF the employees Of the yard
by the fOremen or superior officers
should take place hereafter, whether
in the interest Of the dominant party or
otherwise, ] VIII apply q similar remedy.
Appointments in the place Of the persons
discharged will be made temporarily and
upon trial until efficient men shall have been
obtained In tins connection desire TO say
that bureau officers here complain greatly OF
the delays and extraordinary expense re
quired 10 do the work at the Mare Island
yard. ask your special attention 10 these
matters in the hope that you will cooperate
with me in an effort to bring the yard TO
greater efficiency and to eliminate these OBJ
iectionable features from IL.
