No apprehension of his immediate death
was felt until Saturday afternoon. On Sat
urday Mr.. Adams showed slight sym ptoms
of fever and physician who was called at
once said his wasted strength would not lie
able to resist the attack, mild as it was. Mr..
Adams fingered until Sunday morning, when

INDIANA LIEUTENANT GovERNoRsHIP
An Important Question That Compiieates
the Legislative Muddie.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov 25.--The promi-
nent Democrats of the state met Saturday to
consider Senator Green Smiths claims to. the
lieutenant governorship, the present pending
officer and a Democrat. He holds the opin-
ions of able lawyers in that state that Rob
ertson's recent election as lieutenant gov
ernor was void; that there was no vacancy;
that the constitution provided for an election
in 1852 and every four years thereafter. The
next election would therefore occur in 1888.
He insists that he is the acting lieutenant
governor until that time, and proposes to
hold the position. This has been Smiths po-
sitiOn for months preceding the election.
The Democratic conference resolved to force
the matter to a legal test at once, and it was
decided that the secretary Of state, who is a
Democrat, should refuse TO issue Robertson
a certificate of election i'll order TO bring it
before the courts at once. The supreme court
can Ire reached before the legislature con-
genes, and thus the matter can be settled
quietly and legally.
