the Minnesota river is rapidly subsiding.
Zumbrota reports the Zumbro river rising.

inches. The loss will be about $4,000.
The bridge opposite the town on the turn
pike has gone out. The water at Zumbro
Falls is flooding the town and is four feet
deep in many houses. Communication
by wire and rail is entirely cut off be-
tween Zumbrota and Wabasha and a good
part of the forty miles of track on the
Wabasha division will have to be rebuilt.
The dam at Oronoco went out yesterday
afternoon. The EauClaire and Chippewa
rivers are up to the eight foot mark and
still rising. About 100000 feet Of lum-
Der, worth $4,000, property of the Mis-
sissippi Valley Logging company was
swept away at EauClaire this afternoon.
Hastings reports the water in the Vermil-
lion river higher than ever known before
Tuesday night, taking out over half a
dozen bridges. No trains have arrived
at Lacrosse from the west over the Mil
waukee road since Tuesday, because sew

His Chance Of Life or Death are About
Evenly Divided.
New YoRK, April 11.-There was no
material change in the condition of Elk
Senator Conkling's health this morning.
At $40 while suffering from one of his
periodical attacks of delirium, Mr.. Cenk-
ling paced up and down the sick cham
Der. After ten minutes he became ex-
hansted and once more sank on his bed.
DIR. Barker called to see the patient at
$50 and issued the following official bull
letin: Mr.. Conkling is weaker and has
lost ground since morning. There is
still hope unless some complication sets
in. The patient has taken some nourish-
ment in the form of milk. DIR. Barker
said that Mr.. Conkling was suffering
from meningitis. At AS DIR. Barker ar
rived at Mr.. Conkling's rooms and at 5 :05
left the patient. He said that MIR. Conk-
ling was sleeping quietly since A D. m.
The doctor said he did not apprehend any
danger within twenty-four hours, unless
some complication occurs.
IMPROVING SOMEWHAT.
NEW York, April 11.-At 0 o'clock Drs.
Barker and Sands finished their eonsulta-
ton. DR.. Barker said the patient had
had a sound, healthy deep sleep from 3
until $40 p. m. and that his mental con-
dition was excellent. The doctor said
that his sleep was good for the reason
that it took away all strain from the
nerves. The chances of the senator's re-
covery were improved. Twenty-four hours
ago his chances were n in a hundred.
Now the chances are a in twenty-five
that he will recover. He has been steadi-
" improving for the past four hours.
The patient again went to sleep after the
departure of the doctors. They will not
return until morning. DIR. Hartley re-
mains for the night.
DIR. LOOMS OPINION.
New YORK, April 11.-Dr. Loomis says
that the operation performed upon Ros-
coe Conkling is identical with the one
performed IN Thos. A. Edison, the inven-
tor, when he was so seriously i'll a few
years ago. The operation on Edison was
successful and was followed by symp-
TENS similar to those being developed in
MI. Conkling's case. DIR. Loomis thinks
there is no great grounds for hope Of his
recovery.
SLIGHTLY FOR III WORSE.
New York, April 12.-Dr. Hartly is
ued the following bulletin at 1890 this
morning: Senator Gonkling's condition
is changed slightly for the worse. His
temperature is one degree more than it
was at 8 p. m. when il was 100 degrees
and his pulse beats six degrees faster to
the minute than it did at that hour when
it was 90. This indicates a return of the
delirious fever that he has had.
NO CHANGE.
New York, April 10, 2:45 a. m,-There
has been no change in Mr.. Conkling's
condition since last report. He is asleep.

was a shrewd move on the part of the
Republican managers to bring Merriam
here at the same time Attorney General
Clapp was here, for the latter is the
most popular man in the state among
the residents of this city, and the an
nouncement that he will speak is sure
to draw crowd. With that advantage

penditure of money the much-adver-

leaving hundreds of torches, borrowed
for the occasion, unused. The court
house was packed to hear the speeches.
There were probably seven hundred
persons there. Merriam's commonplace
address of five minutes, in which he
advanced no ideas beyond praise of this
town and the past history of the Re-
publican party in Minnesota, was re-
ceived with chilling silence, and the
cheer at its close was lacking in volume
and i'll spOntaneiety. His appearance
was disappointing to those who had not
seen him before, and he has lost votes
by his coming. Mr.. Clapp closed the
meeting with rhetorical effort. Mer-
riam will visit Pelican Rapids and Hen
ming before leaving this county, but his
doom is sealed.

Looks Like Consolidation.

ASHLAND, Wis, Oct. 11.-Henry
Willard. of the Northern Pacific. and L.
Colby, of the Wisconsin Central road,
arrived here this evening from Duluth.
In answer to direct question as to the
rumored consolidation of the Central
and Northern Pacific, Mr.. Colby said:
At present that matter will not be made
public, as it has not matured. l can
say, however, that some arrangement
will be made by which through trains
will be run over both roads. Mr.. Colby
admitted that the Lake Shore was not a
party to the union depot scheme and
said that other roads could come in if
they wanted to. From what Mr.. Colby
says about through trains, it may be
safely asserted that the claims made by
the Globe early last summer that the
roads would merge, was correct. The
special car leaves earlyin the morning

HANGING A WOMAN.

In Massachusetts question that di-
vides the attention of the public mind
with the political campaign is as to the
propriety of hanging SARAH j. ROBIN
SON. She was convicted some time
since of having INDUCED a malevolent
disposition somewhat freely in the way
of taking human life by the use Of poi
son, and sentenced to be hung in No
vember. Massachusetts has done lib
eral share of the hanging Of the ceun-
Try, and exhibited commendable i'm
partially in the determination of male
citizens in this way. A distinguished
professor in its chief literary insti-
tuition at one time paid the pen
atty of notable crime on the Scaffold.
But it has not been common to hang
women in that state. In the early times
an occasional one may have been put to
death as a witch. There is a large sur
plus of the sex in the state: still there is
a prejudice against diminishing the in
equality by hempen agency. There are
two classes of people urgent for the
communication of the sentence of Mrs.
ROBINSON. One portion would exempt
her from the gallOwS ordeal because, as
woman, she had no part in the enact
ment of the laws. This objection will
not bear close scrutiny. the non-voting
women have a good deal of company
minors and unnaturalized residents can
not vote. So it will not be claimed
that as a consequence they should
not be amenable to the criminal stat
utes. If they steal or kill, they incur the
same penalties as voters. No one would
object to the infiictiOn of capital pun
iShment upon the murderous Indians.
Criminal laws must reach all the indi-
viduals in community, otherwise there
would be security for none. Personal
protection does not stop with the ballot
holder. Except as an excuse for female
suffrage, there is nothing in this point
The other class who object to hanging
Mrs. ROBINSON are of the sentimental
school, who think the sex should afford
immunity. 1t is difficult not to share
some of this feeling. The thought, and
more especially the sight, of woman
dangling at the end of a rope and
being chORed to death, is revolt
ing. No matter how unnatural
and fiendish may be her crime,
there is an involuntary and manly
shrinkage from subiecting her to the
ordeal of the gallows. 1t Is irrefutably
urged that there is no sex in crime, and
that if a female so degraGes herself as
to commit crime, she should no longer
be regarded as woman -One who has
the likeness of mother, wife, sister,
daughter-but a creature lost TO woman
hood and unworthy of regard for her
sex. 1t may be that woman, when she
becomes a criminal and outcaSt, falls
lower than man. for the reason that she
starts from higherplane-still, the out
line, something of the form, is there;
and lin spite of the deductions of logic
and reason, and the adherence of the
degraded creature herself. there is a
shrinking from putting her in the hands
of the gallOwS man. One would, in
this case, rather look for the remains of
the poison which she administered to
others.

the candidate who failed to secure the
Democrats elected without it, and in
the iasttwo the Republicans were able to
count in their man, leaving out the
Empire state. Four years ago the
New York vote determined the re-
suit. The situation is so nearly the
same that it is easily assumed to be an
indispensable vote for the success of
either party. The political statisticians
find their job greatly simplified when
they can definitely place this large
factor. 1t is claimed by each of the two
parties with apparently much the same
assurance, for the reason that neither
thinks it can count a majority OF
the 401 electoral votes without 1t.
An occasional lightning calculator
may, perhaps, find an ingenious
combination that will elect the
Indiana grandson without New York,
but she is regarded as good
deal of a freak. He assumes that
Mr.. CLEVELAND will carry. of the
Northern states, only New York and
New Jersey, which, with the 153 South,
footS up but 19S, o, three short of
majority. The most reckless gamblers,
however, would not put up nickel they
did not expect to lose on that combina-
ton. The state ment may not be read
lily credited that it is easier for the DEM
ocrats to elect their president without
New York than it is for the Repub-
licans, yet it comes very near being the
fact. 1t can be accomplished in this
way: Add to the 153 votes South con-
coded to MIR. CLEVELAND, the 4S votes
of Indiana, New Jersey, Michigan,
California and Nevada, and you have
POI, majority of the electoral college.
The reports from California are very
positive in regard to the vote of
that state. The Chinese question will
most certainly give it to the Democrats.
Nevada shares its feeling fully on that
subject, and is quite certain to vote with
it. Michigan was barely carried for
BLAINE four years ago, and the cam
paign is strong one for the Democrats
there. The most impartial observers
assert that it will he lost to the Repub-
licanS. If Nevada, with its three votes,
is objected to, Connecticut may take its
place with six votes. 1t is on the party
blackboard for Mr.. CLEVELAND to
carry Michigan, Indiana, California.
New Jersey, Connecticut and New
York, with 240 electoral votes, and
fighting chance for two or three other
states. The prospects for the Demo
Gratis are much better than they were
four years ago, when Mr.. BLAINE in
spired his followers to almost frantic
efforts
