Hon. Robert I. Lincoln, Minister from
the United States TO England, reached
the city thk morning from Chicago. He
looks exceedingly well, being somewhat
stouter than he was while Secretary OF
War. and he appears to be in the best
of health. To an Associated Press re-
porter he said in most positive man
ner: "In regard to the stories that !
intend to resign my post and that
shall remain henceforth in America, they
are absolutely false. | came here on a
leave of absence and shall remain for
forty or fifty days, after which shall

without the least foundation.

A wouLD-BE SUICIDES RECORD.
He Tries To Kill His Family and Burn His
House and Store.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, November TO-
Jim Meadows, who lives on West Cedar
street, this city, and who has made him
self quite conspicuous lately by the
futile attempts he has made TO commit
suicide, was again the object Of much
speculation on the part Of his neighborS
last night.
Heretofore he has always done him
self more harm than anyone else, but
about 10 o'clock last night his neigh borS
were called from their Sunday night
slumbers by cries of terror from the
members of the Meadows family whom
he pursued into the street with Il pistol!
When his wife and children escaped
to the protection of friends, Meadows
made an Intellectual attempt to set fire
to his dwelling house and store. The
police were notified Of the condition
of affairs, but before they could ar
rive upon the scene, the insane man
had completely subsded, and seemed
to have no knowledge OF what he had
done.
Meadows has just recovered from
the effects Of the passage of pistol
bullet through his left breast, fired by
his own hand. This was the third time
he has shot himself with suicidal in
tent. each time narrowly missing the
accomplishment of his object. lie will
probably be sent to the lunatic asylum.

THE CENSUS OF ALASKA.
The Figures Will Not All BE In Before
Next Spring.

WASHINGTON, November 10.-A bull
lctin from the Census Office upon the
census Of Alaska is composed entirely OF
brief Introductory statement from Su-
perintendent Porter and letter from
Special Agent Petroff describing his eX-
perience in organizing force OF emu
mcrators in his district. There are no
statistics of any kind. superintendent
Porter saws: The work of collecting
statistics OF population, resources, etc,
OF Alaska has been intrusted to Ivan
Petroif, who accomplished in 1880 what
NAV be termed "censuS reconnolS-
sance" of that Territory. The Isolated
condition of Alaska and the lack oil
means OF transportation and mail facll-
tiles Emade it impracticable to en-
ploy the same methods used In other
parts of the country and it was deemed
best that Mr.. Petroif should be allowed
TO embrace in his work as far as appll-
cable to Alaska the various subjects ol
investigation which, in the general cen
sus. are intrusted to separate divisions
of this Office.
Mr.. Petroff began his work on Febru-
airy 10, 1890, and having divided the
Territory into eight divisions organized
n force of assistant special agents for
the field work from residents OF Alaska
familiar with the language ana
and the country. The general ana
special schedules used in this 1nvcstiga-
tion cover the following subjects: hrSt,
white or civilized population; second,
native population; third, churches;
fourth. schools: fifth, canneries and fsh-
ing; sixth, trade and commerce; sew
enth, gold and silver mining; eighth, coal
mining. The enumeration of Alaska Is
nearly completed, but the returns have
been received only in part, ana those
from several interior districts cannot
he obtained until next spring. Ihe ac-
companying letter is issued In order To
show the obstacles in the way OF pur-
suing this branch Of investigations MI.
Petrofr's journey in Alaska ioots up
about II. .OOOmiles, and the distance which
had to be travelled by his assistants
would probably be four or five times
greater. The superficial area OF the
territory is estimated at 10000 square
miles. -,
Mr.. Petroff's letter is more like an
entertaining story Of an adventurous
eyplorer in a country where he was often
obliged to depend upon the waters ana
woods for his food. and for shelter upon
his own devices, than it is like an oihciai
report of a man bent upon statistlcs OF
population, manufactures, or 1arm
mortgages.

YOUNGSTOWN, O., November l0.-The
recent death in Canada of Mrs. Sterling,
mother Of Charles NJ. Sterling, who was
executed here for the murder Of Lizzie
Grombacher, has unveiled the facts con-
cerning an incident that occurred short

came here from Maxwell, Canada, and
though he had left home when but a lad,
with maternal intuition she recognized
him. When brought to his cell Sterling,
without the quiver of a muscle, said:
"YOu are mistaken, madam; | am
not your SON"
She implorcd him to recognize her,
but he refused, and she returned home,
half convinced that she was mistaken.
To his counsel Sterling said:
"She is my mother, but could not
break her heart by telling her that her
son would be hung. Keep it secret un-
til she dies"
Her death the past week caused his at

be in the way of the ordination of
the candidate, Rev. :. ii. Woodford,
the former rector of Trinity parish,
stepped into the chancel and said:
"In the name OF God, | come forward
to protest against the continuance Of
the ceremony on the ground of the
habitual untruthfulness of the candi-
date"
Bishop Gillespie demanded that the
protestor Immediately make his speciii-
cations and produce his witnesses on
the spot. Woodford declared himself
unable to do this, saying that he had
only that morning learned certainly
that the ordination was to take place.
The bishop, in an exciting and peremp-
tory manner, insisted that the trial oc-
eur then, and Mr.. Woodford asked for
few hours delay, but it was denied
him. lie stated that this action had
not been taken without the bishop.
knowledge, but had been done with his
tacit approval; but this the bishop de-
nounced as false.
When pressed by the Bishop to name
the witnesses. Mr.. Woodford declared
that he talked with no witnesses about
IL, and therefore could not tell what they
would testify to, but he named 4 few
who could, If they would, testify TO GER
tain things The witnesses were all alb
sent, but the Bishop called on them to
come forward, and said that unless they
did so on the instant the ceremony would
go on, The ceremony went on, and Mr..
Johnston was ordained.
