HIS FRIENDS LOSING HOPE.
Conkling's Friends Fear He Will Not
Recover.
DOCTORS TO THE CONTRARY,
His Attendant Says lie Locks Like a Dead
Man, and the Doctors Say There
Is Change for the Better:A


New York, April 14.-All day long
the doctors who are in attendance stated
that their patient was getting better,
and the hosts of friends who called to
inquire for him went away with the.
encouraging news that his chances
OF recovery were nearly eyen.!
DIR. Barker spent some twenty-five!
minutes in the house early in tha
evening and ON reappearing said Mr.
Conkling was asleep. He had been
given large quantity Of kumyss, (which
had good effect. The head porter of
the Hoffman house, who has held Mr.
Conkifng down during his periods of
delirium, came out few minutes later
and gave discouraging report. He
said: ''Mr Conkling looks to me like
dead man, and | don't see how he can
from time to time. When first saw
him, week ago, he looked strong and
hearty. Now you would not know him,
so changed is he.'' Judge Coke, who
came out shortly after, said he
saw no change in Mr.. Conkling
He answered evasively the cues
lions of reporters, which gives rise to
suspicious that all is not as we'll as the
doctors reports seem toFshew. Judge
Coke has heretofore answered promptly
all questions put to him..
At 1O:15 p. m. Mr.. Conkling had sunk
into slight doze, and the doctors left
the house for the night. with the excep-
ton Of Dr.. Anderton, who remains all
night.
1850 a. m.-Dr. Barker. who said a
noon to-day that if Mr.. Conkling lived
twenty-four hours longer he would have
an even chance for his life, repeated
that statement again tonight. He said:
"Mr. Conkling is quiet, he sleeps
well and takes a fair amount
of nourishment, principally milk
and kumyss. What little change there
is, is for the better. There is no re-
turn of the nervous symptoms. There
is one thing would like you tomention.
A great number of people have deluged
the house with patent foods and patent
medicines of all descriptions asking
me to try them on the patient.
Now want you to state that
there is nothing whatever wrong with
his digestion or stomach. 1t is not what
he ought to eat. but what he cares to
eat, that is the trouble, and these things
are perplexing. He prefers milk to
anything else, and it is the best" There
is no material change at this hour.

WILL FACE THE MUSIC.

Mr. Campbell, OF Neilisviiie, Wis,
Has Returned Under Requisi-
ton
The Chicago express on the Omaha
road yesterday afternoon had on board
James E. Campbell, district attorney for
Grant county, Wisconsin, accompanied
by his wife and Capt. j. HI. Talferd.
The latter has warrant of arrest for
Campbell, who goes back to his home at
NeiliSville as prisoner to answer the
charge of embezZling 5000 from an es-
tate for which he was acting as agent.
Mrs. Campbell arrived in the city yes
terday forenoon and was taken at once
to the room in Baugh'S hotel, where her
husband has been confined with the
tremenS since recovering from his at
tempt at suicide. In spite of his
conduct, Mrs. Campbell mas determined
to stick to him, and hopes he may now
reform. When she first entered the
room Campbell was seized with fit of
delirium and began to rave again, but
he soon recovered his senses, and,
through the good Offices of his wife, con
scented to return home and face the
music without further formality. 1t is
probable that the charge of embeZzle-
ment will be withdrawn.
The cid poll lists will not be used
at the coming election, and all who
want tosvotc must register anew.
This applies to the forty-niners as
well as to comparative strangers.

THE WATER SUBSIDING.
No Further Danger Feared Fror

No Further Danger Feared From
the FIood in West ST, Paul.
In the cycle of flood incidents, one
that occurred yesterday at the flats of
the upper levee that may be taken as a
nineteenth century eXempliication of
the old Bible story of another food OF
the hundreds of Bohemians rendered
temporarily homeless by the sud-
den inundation of the flats, many
sought refuge for the night
in all implovised ark, owned
by the st. Paul Sanitation company.
This curious craft was mOOred along
side the levee abreast of the submerged
district. A Waterman in the employ of
the Sanitation company assumed the
part of Noah, and in lieu of a dove, of
which there were none among the num-
erous feathered specimens aboard the
ark, delegated a Bohemian woman to
skip over to the fats and heave the lead.
She was great success in her special
allotment, and soon returned, not like
the dove of old with an olive branch,
but with the glad tidings that the flood
was subslding.
This announcement was the signal for
a general exodus from the ark. 1t was
true that the waters were recedlng, and
active preparations were at once begun
by the SquatterS to resume occupation
of the novels from which they had been
so summarily and unceremoniously
evicted by the father of waters. aided
by the flow from the Sherman street
sewer.
The signal service gauge at 6 o'clock
last evening indicated that during the
preceding twelve hours the water had
fallen two inches. AT 10 O'Clock it was
Stationary but as reports from the up
per country indicate that the Minnesota
has about done overlooking its banks,
no further trouble from the Mis-
sissippi at this point need be an
ticipated. As soon as the waters
at the flats subside sufficiently to
enable tie Bohemians to gain entrance
to their dwellings by any means other
than the chimneyS. they will resume
business at the old stands. Meanwhile,
they will 90 into camp upon the levee,
where they can keep their weather eyes
directed upon their belongings. The
gauge at midnight indicated 14.92, the
same as at o'clock, and it is evident
that the danger is past.

ponents, Capt. Knapp being the last to

evening is the first of It's kind ever
attempted in the-Northwest, and he is to
be congratulated upon the result The
club now has upwards of fifty members,
and similar to this Of last night will do

VERY LIKE A FIGHT.
The Mayor and Council of Ash
land Fail to Agree.

Special to the Globe.
ASHLAND, Wis, April 14.-There are
some large clots of blood on the polit-
ical moon in this vicinity that were first
made visible to the naked eye at the,
first meeting of the mayor and the new,
common council. The former is DEM
Ocrat of wide influence. not OILY at
home, but with the 'pOWers that be- at
Washington, while the aldermen with
whom he is associated are Republicans,
excepting two. There were but few
people who anticipated any trouble in
the administration of the city when the,
result of the election was know, as
heretofore only the interests of the
people as whole have been considered,
in matters of legislation. However, Just
as soon as the new body ''caIne to
Order,' the first gun of battle, which
is only fairly under way. WAS fired by.
one of the members, who is spokesman
from way'back. This gentleman ffB ::
3. Scott, and he believes the city pffnt-,
ing should be done by a Republican
paper. A resolution to that effect
was easily passed and the council ad-
journed till the next evening, when
Mayor Knight came back at the Repub-
licans with veto message, giving in it,
as his opinion, that the roads to the pub
lie treasury should be as long as public
convenience will admit, and stubbornIy
resisted all .'short cuts'' thereto. The
mayor demanded that the printing be
let by contract as the charter requires,
and that any other course was unlawful,
as the editor of the Press had himself
once said when he appeared before the
council when there was probability
that the Democrats would ''gobble" the
printing. The matter now rests with a
committee. But the plot does not
end here. The blood clots thicken.
Another Republican alderman. Mr..
Heydlautf, proposed to have new po-
lice force-a Republican one, of course
and an effort was made to show that
the terms" of the officers now serving
I had expired when Mayor Knights first
term ended. Policemen trembled in
their boots, but the mayor took up their
battle and is fighting it out alone,
backed by a charter. which provides
that they shall serve until dismissed for
cause. From all appearances Iegisla-
ton is liable to suffer badly, owing to
the mixing up of such a lot of strange
political bedfelOWS.

THE MANITOBA ROW.
No Let Up In the Political Quarrel
Raging at Winnipeg.

Special TO the Globe.
WINNIPEG, Man., Jan. 17.-There are
strong probabilities that an immediate
appeal to the country will be taken by
Greenway. The statement was indus
triOusly made after the Conservative
caucus last Friday night that the party
had decided to offer no factiOuS OppoSi-
ton, but to allow Greenway and cabinet
to be returned by reclamation. Since
then it is claimed by the Liberals that
the Conservatives were playinga double
game, and that they had circulated
story about not opposing the ministers
in order to throw Greenway off his
guard and have the cabinet go back for
indOrSation without preparation or Or
ganiZatiOn. They would then concen-
trate all their forces upon four cOnstitu-
encieS and make Superhuman efforts to
defeat the ministers and so weaken the
Liberals in the country as to lessen
their chances Of general success if an
appeal is made. 1t was also thought
that the defeat of the ministers might
influence his honor not to grant diSsO-
solution. 1t is asserted that Norouay
flOurished telegram at the caucus last
night from Well-known prospective
opponent of Greenway'S SAYING he
would spend $4,000 to beat Greenway.
Under these circumstances it is almost
decided to have dissolution and gen.
eral election at once. Tonight will set
tie the question. At the Liberal caucus
last night strong opposition was offered
to the importation of an outside element
into the cabinet, and it is now very
probable Jones will not get portfolio.
The statement is made on good grounds
that the financial deficit of the late gov
eminent will exceed 500 00O
At the caucus of Liberal members,
which has just adjourned, the following
cabinet was decided upon: Thomas
Greenway, premier, president of coun-
ell and railway commissioner; l.. M.
Jones, mayor of Winnipeg, provincial
treasurer and minister OF public works;
Joseph Martin, attorney general; James
Smart. of Brandon. minister of agri-
culture. The provincial sectretaryship
is not yet filled, but will be by French
member, probably Prendergast.

THE BUCHANAN

The GLOBES article yesterday morn
ing respecting JAMES BUCHANAN'S love
disappointment has already created a
sensation throughout the country, and
is made the basis of an interesting dis
cuSSion. We give space this morning
to the other side of the story, as related
by Miss NEvIN, the sculptor. 1t must
be remembered in this discussion, how
ever. that the story of the bachelor
presidents love affair with Miss COLE
MAN is more in the nature of Il
tradition, while the story of his
attachment for LETITIA DUNCAN
is based upon documentary evidence
now in existence and which for the
first time was brought to light by the
GLOBES eyertions. In order, however,
that the truth of history may be fully
vindieated, we hope that the discussion
Will take the fullest possible range, and
everything that can Reproduced bear
ing on the subject will be presented. 1t
is possible that Mr.. BUCHANAN may
have had two love diSappointments, but
not probable. 1t is certain that he had
one. and that its effect was reflected on
all his subsequent life. If there is any
evidence going to show that some one
else was JAMES BUCHANAN'S sweet
heart stronger than what the GLOBE
has presented in support of LETITIA
DUNCAN'S claim to that distinction, let
it be forthcoming.
