PARIS. Feb. 26-It is now alleged by those
who recently reported congress of dyna.

against dynamiters.

as the legislative branch OF Government either TO
REQUEST or advise the removal of subordinate In
the Executive Department.
Finally, there is no evidence on record which
shows that any appreciable Illegal vote was cast
on either side at the October election, while, on
the other hand, the loss from intimidation was
wholly on the Republican side In Ver1ncation
of this statement. a confident appeal is made to
the record and final result. The election was as
fair an expression of the will of the people of Gin
cinnat as is possible without proper registration
OF its votes.

His Condition Kept From the Public to
Keep Letters From Pouring in and
Exciting Him.

NEW YORK, Feb. sS.-ID regard to General
Grants health, Colonel Frederick Grant said to q
Post reporter this afternoon: my father is a very
sick man; there is no use in longer denying the
fact. Wehave made every effort to keep the true
facts from the public, because we knew that as
soon as 1t should become known that he was
dangerously Ill there would be hundreds of letters
coming in with evey mail. and this
would only excite him and make cure
less hopeful. Ny father has had little rest for
the past few nights. He was up and about his
room for a little while yesterday. and We hope to
get him up again 10 day. but he is suffering con-
slant pain in his ana head. For any facts
concerning the nature of his disease refer you to
HIS physicians. The doctors who are attending
him are DR.. Fordyce Barker. DR.. j. Fl. Douglas
and DR., H. 3. Sands of this city, and DR.. T. n.
MeIker, of Philadelphia"
DR.. Douglas said 81 am in no wise responsible

we both decided that the cancerous growth at the
root OF the tongue was hardening and steadily
growing worse. A miscroscopical examination by

hope that he will recover. he is breaking do Tn;
a month he has done much six or eight
hours work day, but has had little sleep for the
past eight days. We have tried to keep knowl-
edge of his true condition from the General, be.

trouble is from eoneerous growth at the root oil

not eat solid food because he has

hope ofseasing the pain in the face This pain, al
though il resembles neuralgia is not that pure and

severe pain in the right and top of the

injury in his hip, caused by his
fall a year ago, is still a source
of great suffering, and ferbids physical exer-

concealed from the country that General

there should be some unexpected relief he
will not be leng among the living.
He is wonderfully patient and uncom-

expressions of sympathy which have been
called out by his recent appalling misfor-

autobiography on the history Of the war,
and hopes to complete it this spring. The
first volume is entirely finished, but not re-
vised. and the second volume is more than

Judge Reagan's Separate Statement.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-Judge Reagan
makes a separate statement of the whole
subject and matter at issue bstween the sill
yer men in Congress and Mr.. Cleveland, in
which he characterizes some of the latter's
declarations as most extraordinary and as
tonishing. The Judge concludes his discus.
sion OF the question az follows:
The people of this country know. whatever
bankers and bondholders may think, that this Is
an effort to subordinate the interests of the
American people 10 a class known as bankers and

not propose to take up the old clothes OF the Re.
publican party where they threw them down.
The country has not yet forgotten that in 1875,
when Congress was trying TO restore silver to cir
culation, and prevent the retirement and cancel
lauon OF legal-tender notes. the banks, in order
10 prevent this, contracted a volume of debt of
nearly SIG eco in about three weeks, threaten

that tney are now threatening another panic II

Granville's Speech in the House of Lords.
LONDON, Feb. 27.-In the House ef Lord :
Granville, Secreary for Foreign Affairs,
maintained the preceding government had
sown the seeds of al the present troubles.
He was not surprised that Bismarck disap-
proved of the present governments policy,
because neither he preceding nor the pres
cut government had adopted Bsmarck's ad.
vice to annex Egypt.
Granville regretted the fate of General
Gordon, but declined to accept the odium
which the opposition sought to cast upon the
government as resulting from the lamenta.
bic disasters at Khartoum. He assured the
House of Lords that the government was
anxious to proceed with vigor IN its present
policy, and deal with the slave trade in the
most etfectual wav possible. He regarded
Englands honor as pledged to defeat Egypt
proper. In conclusion, he said If Salisbury
became the head of the government, he much
doubted whether he Salisbury would pro-
pose and execute the policy he had pro.
pounded. If he did, the country would
force him to wriggle out of it at the earliest
opportunity.
The Marquis of Salisbury responded
briefly to Grsnville's remarks.

GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.
EngIand's Policy as Stated by Lord Kim
berIy.

LONDON, Feb. 27.-In the House of Lords
Kimberly, Secretary of State for India, said
the policy Of the Government was 10 leave
Egypt when good government was estab-
lished. 1t was simply impossible for any
English government to remain in Egypt in
the face of the. European antagonism which
existed. The whole policy of the Govern.
ment has been to extricate England from
her difficulties and enable her, with un-
wasted energies and courage and power to
return to her former state, in which her
strength would be greater throughout the
world. Cheers.

PARIS, Feb. u.s. The Fenians and dynamiters in
France are indignant at doubts being cast on
their "ferocity'' by Sir William Vernon Harcourt,
the British Home Secretary, In Parliament yester-
day. Since the conclave was held they seem to
have shifted their headquarters temporarily TO
Chaniilly. A report of an interview with Michael
Flsnnery has been communicated to the Tribune
bureau tonight. II bears out all statements pre-
yiously published. FlaDnery is a man about
thirty six or thirtyseyen years old, OF fair COM
plexion, with auburn hair. He is apparently
well educated, and has Travelled all over Europe
and the East. He refuses to make his birthplace
public, fearing to compromise his relatives. Tne
interviewer asked his permission to publish the
address at which the cOnelsye was held. Flannery
said: 1.-The address was, as you know in the Rue
Canlbon, Paris. You yourself were present at the
conclave. The British and French police were
bsfled and the concierge of the building was out
