MANNING AT DEATHS DOOR. :
His Physicians Admit that the Chances Arr
Greatly Against His Recovery.

His Physicians Admit that the Chances Are
Greatly Against His Recovery.
Washington Special to Philadelphia Times.
The condition Of Secretary Manning to-day
has been much the same as it was yesterday.
He has, in fact fallen back to the conditions Of
yesterday morning. He is simply lying quietly
and consciously at the threshold of deaths
door, awaiting the issue of fate. No power on
earth can help him. His skiliful physicians can
only insure him absolute quiet, enforced rest,
and must leave the result to nature. They re-
luctantly admit that the chances are greatly
against their patients recovery, but feel that
while there is life there Is hope. Cases OF SIM
liar nature can be cited where the patient got
well and lived many years of active public life
afterward. I'm fortunately, the odds are greatly
against such happy termination in the case of
Mr. Manning One of the physicians alluded to-
day to the same sort of an attack experienced by
the late Chiefiustice Chase, the iatter recover
ing completely. and serving on the bench several
years afterward. In the present case, however,
the conditions are not as favorable. While
Chase was an older man at the time his consti-
tuition was in better condition to resist the at
tacks os apoplexy.
Even Mr.. Manning's physicians now admit
that in of recovery the Secretary viii never,
in all probability be in a condition when it
would be safe for him to resume the trying
labors of the Treasury portfolio. IL was rumored
yesterday. aud spread again to-day, that he had
actually resigned, but inquiry at the White
House shows that to be an error. Mr.. Manning
is not in condition to resign or formulate any
other official paper. nor is there any necessity
for such hurry. The rumor probably grew out
sof The fact that about month ago he alluded in
private conversation to his possible resignation.
As early as that he foresaw that he would be
unable TO stand the pressure. He is not worry
ing about public affairs just now, and has not
mentioned them. He lies all day as patiently
as child, accepting the light nourishment
without murmur though his mind seems to
De as clear as bell. His condition is fully ap-
;,veciated by himself and he awaits the issue
-ourageously and without finching
This question Is the most serious the Presi
dent Is dealing with to-day. He relied on Mr.
Manning to a remarkable extent, and inn
portanf line Of policy was adopted without his
approval The President docs not appear to
have had much policy in the line of politics. but

Manning. and was carried out under his express
guidance. Without him Cleveland will be at sea

MINOR MENTION.

The Southern Colored Oficeholders Must Give
Place to White Democrats.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March ga vociferous howl
comes up from the South, and especially from
North Carolina apd Mississippi, against the poll
ticians in Congress, because they permit colored
men to remain in Office "to the exclusion of hon.
est white Democrats. A large number of marked
newspapers have been received here by citizens
and newspaper correspondents, in which the
Southern Representatives in Congress are de-
nounced roundly for the failure to have the
colored men ousted forthwith. It appears that
the Bourbons of the South, prior to the recent
presidential election. aud for some time after
the inauguration of Mr.. Cleveland, expected to
see all the colored men throughout the country,
thrown overheard. And while that work has
been begun in good spirit of earnestness, and
will evidently be executed to the end, it has been
entirely to slow to suit the warm heads and
they are very much dispeased over it.

having a regular roasting time The announce
ment made by him some time ago that there

The Proposed Increase OF the Army.

interests of the effort It is only intended that
the army shall be increased about four thousand
men, so as to bring it up to thirty thousand.
The line of argument put forth to show the ne
cessisy of larger army has been on the basis Of
internal descriptions, as in the present and past
strikes 1t is said the army is very much dis
jointed now, and there are not enough men to
make full the companies organized. and that the
officers are very much disproportioned in the
different commands. II Senator Logans propo-
sition confines to grow in favor, it will be

Numbering The Missionaries.


Advice from Cling Too Foo, chief
city of the province Of Sechuen,
states that the natives of the cas-
tern part of that province and
those of northern Cochin China
have risen against the christians
and are massacreing them and
destroying their property This
active persecution is attributed
to the imprudence of the English
and American missionaries. In
Cochin China about 50 christians
have been killed, their bodies
burned and farms destroyed. In
Sechuen a general massacre Of
christians is reported to be in pro-
gress, and they are killed where
ever found. 1t is said whole vii
lagos occupied by christians
have been destroyed, and that all
the lands occupied by professors
of that faith are being devasta-
ted. The apostolic wears resi-
dence il Sechuen has been burn
ed to the ground. Not piece of
furniture nor book, nor paper was
saved. The foreign consuls pare
ly escaped from Sechuen with
their lives. No efforts have been
made up TO the latest reports to
quell the disorder and so far as
now known it continues unsup-
pressed.
