DENVER, April 3.-Last night about l
o'clock Charley Rawlings shot aud danger
ously wounded James Allen at 4ST Blake
street, over Anderson 5 saloon. 1t appears
that Rawlings and Allen have been enc
mics for some time, on account Of a dis
reputable character named Mollie Fletcher.
Last night Rawlings went to Anderson's
saloon and called a girl out and told herto
tell Mollie to come out, as a friend wished
to see her. The girl did as she was bid.
and Mollie came out, followed by Allen.
The three talked together for awhile and
then went to Rawlings room, followed by
a boy known as skinny" Barnes. When
in the room Il quarrel ensued, which ended
by Rawlings drawing Il small 22-calibre
revolver and shooting Allen, the ball en-
tering the corner of the right eye and
ranging no one knows where, as the SER
vices of a physician could not be secured.
Allen, who is well known as THE Hood
lum, is a young man about 20 years Of
age, and is Il notorious thief. He has
been arrested and jailed in Denver a hun
dred times, and is a crook of the worst
character for his years.
Rawlings is Il telegraph operator and
formerly worked at the Western Union
telegraph Office in Denver, but of late has
been IL rustler around faro banks. Wher
searched in Jail an expired pass on the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe was found
and a discharge from n telegraph Office il
Kansas on account of sleeping ON duty,
He said he shot Allen because he tried Il
break into his room, and was sorry that hi
didu't have a largerrevolver when he shot
as he wanted to fix him off in good shape

PARIS, April 3.-The party conflicts
are increasing in bitterness. De Freyci-
net attributes his failure to form a min
istry to the partisan leaders'of the Re-
publican sections. especially the Republi-
can union in claiming the balance of
power in the cabinet. President Grevy
proposes to obtain an ad interim ministry
Of moderates to act in the interval be-
tween a dissolution of the chambers and a
general election. Spuller and lie Grand
and other opportunists oppose the dis
solving of the chambers on the ground
that it is a manoeuvre for restoring Ferry
t power. In an interview with President
Grevy to-day, Spuller said a majority of
those who had overturned Ferry repented
and wished to repair their error. The
extreme left favors a dissolution of the
chambers. NJ. Rochefort in replying to
the threat in the opportunist papers that
the Ferry majority in the senate will re-
fuse to vote for a dissolution, says 10. 900
men await n signal to sweep away the
senate. Intense uneasiness prevails
among the people in Paris and through
out the country.

Mapleson's Experience in San Fran


CHICAGO, April 3.-The Mapleson
opera company, which is to open the opera
festival here next Monday, arrived by spe-
cial train from San Francisco to-day. Col
Mapleson spoke very glowingly of the re-
ception which had been accorded the com
pany in San Francisco, and declared the
season there had been highly satisfactory,
from a financial point of view, and that
the audiences had been very enthusiastic.
Speaking of the result of the season in
San Francisco, Mapleson said; THE pub
lie of San Francisco are very musical, as
every one knows. They pay their money,
but they will have the best. The receipts
were double the largest ever known be-
fore. The people willingly paid again and
again. IS for standing room and family

or diminished. Ladies would go and stay
there all day. They would pay fifty cents
for a camp stool and lunch on cracker
and cheese, and when they went home al
night they would pay 81 to some one Il
keep their place for them. They were IL
a high state of fever and excitement al
the time.

Guatemala has lust received the following
letter from an American gentleman resid-
inc in Guatemala under date of March
10Th:
Bv.tbis mail I send you a paper con-
%taining the proclamation and decree of
Gen. ], r Barrios. whereby he makes
one republic of five and floats to the breeze
the flag of the republic of Central Ameri-
ca, pledeing his talents, his fortune, and
his life to defend it. declaring all traitors
who oppos the common cause, and threat
enine destruction to those

Barrios. and worthy of so bold a man.
As Salvador now sends (soon to arrivc)
ambassadors to discuss. and perhaps to ar
range matters to make a common cause,
Barrios has deferred offensive operations;
still, not to be taken nawares he has
dispatched las they say 5000 troops to
the frontier. l think the number may be
exaggerated, but troops are leaving every
day. A gentleman told me to-day, that
as near as he could count, fully $500 men

There has been considerable idle talk to
the effect hat Gen. Grants fatal disease
was caused by smoking. The habit of
smoking had about as much to do %incaus-
ing Gen. Grants lancer as the saliva had
with which he masticates his food. To-
bacco is a sedative, and not an i%rritant,
although it sometimes i~rritates inHamed
surfaces. The only way in which tobacco
is traced to any connection with cancerous
degeneration is through the constant use
of a burnt pipe stem producing epithelial
cancer on the lip.
DR.. Frank Abbott, a leading dentist of
New York, who treated Gen. Grants case
originally, plainly puts the cause where it
belongs. He ascribes it to decayed and
neglected teeth, which were black with

WASHINGTON, April3 Senior Beeerra,
representative of the United States OF
Colombia. at Washington, sent the fol
lowing dispatch this afternoon to Gen.
Comma, at Panama; 'The United

American life and property. If they find
Colombian forces able of themselves to
attain hat object, they will withdraw. 1

and upright intentions of the American

lowing to the authorities at Bunae Ven

of the expedition is the performance by
the United States of their engagements
to preserve the neutrality of and to keep

of American citizens. The circumstances
as understood from the necessity with
which the expedition has arisen. are, in
general: That a steamship belonging to
Americans has been seized at Colon by an
armed force, and goods in transit taken
from her; her officers and the American
consul imprisoned, and transit across the

morning in regard to the movements of
Gen. Graham's forces, and leave a gen,
eral impression of uncertainty as to what
actually has been the course of events to-
day The belief here is that no fighting
has been done to speak of, and that
the casualties are very slight. Official
dispatches state that simply four men
were wounded. Other dispatches, how
ever, say that one man was killed and six
to twelve wounded. The British found

NEW YORK, April 3.-An inmate in

the true history of Gen. Grants death
bed scene on Wednesday morning, when
it was feared the general was about to
breath his last, is as follows: About 4
O'Clock in the morning the old soldier
suddenly gasped and presented all the
symptoms of a death struggle. The
family physicians and DIR. Newman
rushed to his side and nearly all gave him
up. Doctors Douglas and Shrady held a
hurried consultation, after which DR..
Shrady filed a hypodermic syringe full of
brandy and elected the contents
into his arm. The extreme pallor.
so characteristic Of death, gave
way to a healfhful looking flush,
and Gen. Grant was given for a time a
new lease of life. This pronptness on
the part of DR.. Shrady saved the general
and prolonged his life so as to enable him
to sign some papers of great moment
to his family. 1t also saved a great figure
in American history and to his c%ountrymen
for at least some days. After the general
recovered he pleasantly said to the sur
geon who had performed the signal SER
vice: well, you have prolonged my
agony for awhile. Yes" answered

New York, April 3, 9 M-Despite
the ~reassuring bulletins of the morn

Col. Grant was at no time treasured. He

man expressed the belief that the general
was growing weaker constantly. Visitors
were not in all cases shown up stairs.
United States Senator Don Cameron was
in the sick room for some time. Mrs.
Grant sat near her husband during the
afternoon, but the general spoke to no
one except his physicians, lest his throat
should be irritated.
Mr.. Chaffee soon returned to the
Grant residence, and at 1890 left for the
night He said morphine had been ad-
ministered and a good nights rest was
expected. Gen. Grant is a most
wonderful man in combating disease, -
said Mr.. Chatfee. He walks about the
room, unaided, Notwithstanding his ex-

rHEFrruaE oFTHE NEGRO.

DR. r. H. Allen has made some startling
statements to the Presbyterian General As
sembly which met recently at Cincinnati.
Twenty years ago he said, there were in
the South less than 100000 negroes.
There are now 1000, 900. At the present
rate of increase in 1900 there will be more
negroes than whites in the South, and in
1885 there will be 1872, 600, 600 negroes and
only SO. 900. 900 whites Dr. Allen argued
that the negroes doubled every twenty
years and the whites every thirty five years.
An appalling picture of the future was
drawn because of the illiteracy ofthe blacks,
which with their increase of numbers
would hand over to them the political
then of the Nation. If DIR. Aliens figures
are true. the outlook would be black
enough in more ways than one, but other
authorities assert that it is the white race
that that fact viii be established by the
census of 1890. 1t is quite true that there
was large apparent increase of the blacks
between 1860 and 1880, but it is now believ-
in 1860 and 1870 were imperfect so far as
the enumeration of the blacks was concern
ed. But one thing is very certain, there
are too many of the Southern blacks, and
Southern whites also, who are growing mp
in ignorance. This is a real national peril

We have boosted of our common shoot

other nations in this important matter.
Some seventeen per cent. of our population
