The Generals Family Pass the Day in Mo-
mentary Expectation of His Death.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK, April This has been a very
anxious and distressing day for the Grant family
for they have been expecting the Generals
death all day long. They were called in the
morning to witness, as they supposed the
Generals dying moments, but he rallied and all
day long was in a very critical condition, as the
bulletins showed that were issued fre-
quently. One of the latest call
ers in the evening was Senator
Leland Stanford, of California. He went
away at 9:15, and his carriage was at once
surrounded by throng anxious to know of
the Generals condition. Senator Stanford
said that General Grant had walked across
the floor during the evening, but that his
pulse was very irregular, and that he did not
seem strong He might last twentyfour
hours, and he might live longer. He had left
him reclining on two chairs in his bedroom, in
great pain,
AT 11:4O ex-senator Chaffee called out of the
house and reported that the General had gone to
bed, but that he was in great pain. He was very
uneasy, and lay with his knees doubled up and
almost touching his chin. Mr.. Chaffee said he
had no encouragement to give in regard to the
General. The doctors thought he might live
through the night
Cyrus w. Field who saw him in the evening,
said that he might live three days.

great, grand part of our patriotism, for it
came to US in our youth. And those who
fought with him then and faced him upon red
Southern felds-they love and revere him, for he
was brave soldier, and. when his sword was
sheathed at Appomattox, he was the first to hold
out his hand to the fallen foe and say, Let US
have peace"
His the sword that from its scabbard leapt
To cleave the way where freedom could be wonA
And where it led, conquering army swept
Till all was done.
Then that vaorous hand which swung the sword,
Back to its sheath returned the patriot blade,
And bore sweet peace where crushed rebelons horde
Stood all dismayed.
And now spirit. speeding from above
Chis that great heart with his destroying breath,
And all peoples reverence and love
Are mocked by death.

The Emperor and All the Princes Cali Upon
the Chancellor

The Emperor and All the Princes Call Upon
the Chancellor.
BERLIN, April This being the seyentieth
anniversary of the birthday of Prince Bismarck,
the day is being celebrated throughout the EN-.
pire as holiday of extraordinary interest The
Emperor and his son. the Crown Prince Freder.
ick William, attended by all the resident princes
of the imperial family, called upon the Chan
cellor at 10 O'Clock in the morning and congratu
lated him. The Kaiser was especially warm and
earnest in his expressions of regard.
During this imperial visit the Emperor per
sonally presented the wonderful Oil copy of the
great portrait of himself to Prince Bismarck az
a personal memento. The Emperor himself
decorated Count Herbert Bismarck, son of the
Chancellor, with the order of the Red Eagle.
The Imperial visitors spent most of the remain
der of the morning at the Chancelor's residence.
After their departure the federal councillors
and ministers called, presented their congratula
tions. The Bismarck birthday testimonial commit
tee subsequently visited the Chancellor, and for
mally presented him with tho title deeds of the
great Schenhausen estate. The entire after
noon was taken up by delegations which had
come to present testimonials from all classes of
the German people, and from all parts of the
empire. 1t is rumored that two Russian gen
erals of high rank, who have quietly arrived
here, bear from the Czar signal favor to Prince
Bismarck as present in honor of his birthday.
All the newspapers publish warm tributes to
the worth and genius of Prince Bismarck. The
opposition papers praise the Chancellors efforts
during the present and recent years to maintain
peace among the nations and to fulfil mis- duty
to the Emperor and to the German nation.

Barker said: 'The situation is not SO bad as
many people outside think. The General passed
good night up to o'clock; then he had pretty
serious attack, but quickly rallied He has done
as well through the day as we could reasonably
expect"
do you consider him as well as he was yes
terdayf'
NO. cannot say that do. lie is considera-
bly, weaker. However, 1 see no reason to believe
that he will not live through the night, or possi-
bly, for day or two Mind, 1 do not say he
will live this length of time, for nobody can tell
what may happen"
HAS he been speechless at any timer
9Io, oh no. He answered all questions and
even asked some just now before I came out
/ said, Well General, I'm going away now, but
leave you in the hands of Douglas and Shrady.'
We'll, they're good, doctor; they're good, he
said earnestly. Still, l cannot deny that our
brave patients strength is gradually wasting
away"
Col. Fred Grant lost all hope early in the day,
and could not make himself believe, in the
most encouraging moneuts but that the
end was very near. His air was that of a man
utterly hopeless. Grief and care have told on
him very much. He looks ten years older than
he did a month ago. His mother and sister are
also almost completely exhausted they
snatcheds a moments rest at opportu-
nifty, but the strain on their nervous
systems has been SO great that they feel it al
most impossible to sleep, day or night. The
Generals tiny grandchildren, Jesses daughters,
are taken out daily by their nurse, but even
they seem to realize the lanaentahle situation,
and cease their playful prattle as soon as they
come within hearing distance Of the house.
Toward evening all kinds Of rumors foated
around about the General and one scarcely
knew what to believe until, at midnight, the
physicians issued bulletin saying that the
patient was very quietly sleeping, and would
live until daylight, and possibly all of to-mor-
row. Further than that they would not say.

SADNESS AT THE CAPITAL.

People Who Will Regret Grants Death and
Mourn Him Sincerely.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April AT no point in the
country. perhaps, is so much interest evinced
in the condition of General Grant as in Wash
ngton. Here, almost every one is personally
acquainted with him, and all feel deep concern
about him. Early this morning crowds clus-
tered around the bulletin boards and have all
day absorbed with sorrow the intelligence of his
growing weakness and his nearing the end.
Every bit of information bearing upon his con-
dition was received in silent sorrow, and sadness
was depicted upon every face. At the Capitol,
senators and representatives showed extraordi-
nary interest in the bulletins, and the name of
Grant was spoken with downward infection.
Tonight many prominent men are receiving
messages from New York, and fears are ex
pressed that the old hero can not last till morn
ing Washington will go into mourning when
information finally comes that he is dead, and
no people will mourn his demise more sincerely.
