RANDALL'S DEATH NEAR.
THE DYING STATESMAN AT PEACE
WITH ALL THE WORLD.


Postmaster General wanamaker
Largely Instrumental in Converting
Eim-His Pain Deadened by Opiates,
Which Keep Him Unconscious Most
of the Time.
WASHINGTON, April 10.-Chaplain Mil
burn called on Mr.. Randall, but was unable
TO see him this morning. because Mr.. Ran
dali was then unconscious under the infiu-
ence of opiates, as he has been most of the
time since Sunday. So the blind man elo-
quent could only speak word of comfort
to the family and then return to the House
aud pray for them all in his morning iuvo-
cation. Many other public men called, but
none saw Mr.. Randall, not even Postmaster
General Wanamaker, who had some
spiritual conversation with the dying states
man yesterday.
RANDALL's CONVERSION.
Messrs. Wanamaker and Randall have
become intimate friends during this winter
and Mr.. Randall attributes his conversion
largely to Mr.. Wanamaker's influence. Mr..
Randalrs pastor, Rev. DIR. Chester, has also
had spiritual conversation with him re-
Gently. Mr.. Randall's gentleness and
patience are spoken of by all who have seen
him in these latter days. His strong will
remains unbroken. 1t is on this he has been
living for day or two. but it bends now as
1t never did before under sympathy.
he is resigned and peaceful, although he
wanted TO go on with his work in the House.
His attitude toward his former political op-
poneuts, who were some times almost per-
sonal enemies, has changed completely.
AT PEACE WITH ALL MEN.
He dies at peace with all mon. He has
suffered very little, most of the time be-
cause he has been kept unconscious with
opiates, but when he Is conscious he bears
the intense pain with heroic endurance.
Mrs. Randall and her daughters, who have
done most OF the nursing, are almost worn
out. but they bear the labor and the strain
with fortitude. Everybody sympathizas
with them. Among the many who have
sent messages OF sympathy to them are
President and Mrs. Harrison, Senator and
Mrs. Quay, and Senator and Mrs. Cameron.
Postmaster General and Mrs. Wanamaker
are most assiduous in their attentions.
THE END MAY COME AT ANY MOMENT.
The end is in sight, but no one can tell
how much longer he may be able to con-
tinue his struggle for life. An hour may
witness his last moments, or he may pro-
long them for several days yet He retains
strength enough to move about in bed, but
life is now hardly more than mere existence.
This evening Mr.. Randalrs strength has
suffered another depletion, and he is weaker
than in the morning. He mad recurrence
of darrhoeal attacks during the afternoon,
but it was checked at least temporarily At
$50 O'clock he was resting more comfort
ably. Tie attack of the afternoon had re-
lieved his septicemia, which has now be-
come one Of the worst features of the case,
and his mind was more than usually clear
and bright.
DR.. Malan and DR.. Lincoln had consul.
tation this afternoon, and they were the
only persons outside the family who saw
him. AT midnight Mr.. Randall was rest
ing easily, and there was no further change
in his condition.

AMERICUs' PosrMAsrDR.
More Light on the Tilt Between Buck
and Brown.

and Brown.
WASHINGTON, April 10.-Senator ColquiLt
and Representative Crisp have presented so
far a report on the nomination of Dudley
as postmaster at Americus. There is reason
to believe that they will be able to prevent
it indefinitely. One thing which helps
them in this is w. W. Browns dis
avowal of the responsibility. Col.
Buck sought to place upon
him in the matters. In letter TO Senator
Colquitt, quoted in these dispatches, Col.
Buck stated explicitly that it was upon
Capt. Browns report, after visiting Ameri-
Gus, that he pressed Dudley's confirmation.
IL Capt Brown had not denied this, Dudley
would probably be confirmed, but Col Buck
has made the assertion III another form In
letter to First Assistant Postmaster Gen.
eral Clarkson, which that official has filed
with the Senate committee.
TEXT OF THE LETTER
In this Col Buck says: From an inves-
tigation made by Capt. Brown, who has
been to Americus for that purpose, | find
that any charge brought against Mr.. Dud-
ley as to want of character, ability or
fitness for the office are without foundation
and that the appointment was proper one
to be made. Capt. Brown was not origi-
nally supporter of Dudley, but Is now
warmly interested for his confirmation.
HE states to me that Mr.. Cobb, lead
ing democratic lawyer Of Americus, read
him q letter which he Mr. Cobb had writ
ten to Mr.. Crisp. member Of the House, in
which he stated that nothing could be
shown against the character, ability and
fitness of Dudley for the Office, and that, il
defeated, il must be on the ground of his
color. Hoping that Dudley will be speedily
confirmed, am very respectfully,
"A. E. BUcK"
BUCK MISTAKEN.
Col Buck seems to be mistaken in stating
that w. w. Brown was not an original
supporter of Dudley. w. w. Brown signed
the first paper presented by Dudley. dated
March 5, 1889, In which Postmaster General
Wanamaker's attention was called to the
fact that ID. A. Dudley was lone of the
two original Harrison men of the Georgia
delegation at Chicago" 1t proceeds thus:
"Mr. Dudley is chairman Of the republican
committee of his congressional district and
q man of worthy character and good busi-
ness qualifications. We respectfully and
earnestly recommend that lie be appointed
postmaster at Americus. Ga"

sHBLLENBERGER's STEAL.
His Shortage will Probably Reach at
Least S125,OOO J

DoYLEsTowN, PA, April 10.--Frest1 evil
dence of J. Monroe Shellenberger's frAudu-
lent operations continue to pile up. Notes
representing about $4,000 were brought in
to-day by farmers and others living in the
surrounding country, and the fugitive law
yel's shortage, it Is now estimated, will
reach $l25,000. There Is no telling where
the figures will stop, as every hour brings
to light some evidence of his dupicity.
Shellenberger's large orphans court practice
gave him opportunities TO get away with
sums entrusted TO his care, and he apparently
took advantage Of every such opportun ity.
GUILTY OF FORGERY.
The crime of forgery has been fastened
upon him. Michael McIntee to-day pro-
duced a Judgment note for 81, 200, pnrport.
ing 10 be signed by J. r. lands, which
was given to MIN by Shellenberger as se-
curity for money advanced. Lands pro-
nounces the note forgery. Many other
notes of the same fraudulent character ere
known to be In existence.
No definite information can be obtained
as to how much of the estate left by his de-
ceased wife entrusted for her four boys, has
been used by Shellenberger, bat it is
thought the amount will be large.
NOTHING FOR THE CREDITORS.
A meeting of the creditors has been
arranged for April 16. One execution for
$4,000, which was entered in court Monday
last, more than covers the value of all the
property belonging to Shellenbcrger, and
the other claimants will therefore stand
but little show of recovering anything at
all.
John c. James, brother-in-law OF the
fugitive, said this evening that he had not
heard. from him, directly or Indirectly,
since his disappearance.
The feeling against Shellenberger in
creases ia bitterness with each new revela-
tion Of his INSCRIPTIONS Robbery Of widows,
orphans and poor, ignorant farmers.

POLITICAL ASSESSMENTS.
Newton's Statement of Facts to bt
Admitted

AdmttteQ.
WASHINGTON, April 10.-In the case of
the Old Dominion Republican League,
against the officers of which action has
been instituted il the courts of this district
for violations of the United States civil SER
vice law, it has been determined to waive
all further proceeding, and to admit
statement of facts on the part
of the defendant. C. A. Newton,
president of the league, in order that the
same may be passed upon in higher court
and final decision be had in the supreme
court of the United States. Mr.. Newton,
who is not a government officer, and who is
charged with violation of the civil service
law bv collecting contributions of govern
meut employees for campaign purposes, will
test the right under the civil service law to
solicit such contributions by one not in the
employment of the government.
ANOTHER TEST.
He will also test the question whether the
sending of letter by such one to a gov
ernment employe and delivered on bis desk
is solicitation forbidden by the twelfth sec-
tion of the civil service law, and if it is
solicitation, whether that law is consistent
with the constitution of the United States.
Mr.. Newton's case is important, as it in
wolves personal rights as well as grave con-
stitutional questions. Col W. Z. Sims of
Virginia, A. K Brown of Washington, and
A. Worth Spates of Baltimore have been
retained as counsel for Mr.. Newton. 1t is
expected that W. w. Dudley of Washing
ton and Representative Houk of Tennessee
will be associated with them in the case.

AFRICA's JUNGLEs.

Peters-Stanley Reaches Italy.

Gnln Ouered Money to Rescue DR..
Feters-Stanley Reaches Italy.
BERLIN, April 1O.-It is stated that the
Emin relief committee has sub scribed
10000 marks to Emin's expedition on condi-
tion that the expedition rescues DR.. Peters.
Herr Vohsen saws that the government is
undecided whether or not to convert East
Africa into crown colony. In any case he
considers the money expended there good
Investment, the customs revenue being most
promising.
STANLEY REACHES ITALY.
BRINDIsI, April 10.-Henry M. Stanley
has arrived here from Cairo, en- route 20
Brussels. He was interviewed upon his
arrival. Speaking of Emin Pasha, Stanley
said he did not believe he would attempt
TO reconquer the equatorial province.
An immense effort, he declared, would be
necessary TO eject the Mandists, who have
overrun the province. With reference to
the claims made by the Germans to terri
tory in Africa, Stanley said he was aston
ished at their pretensions. They apparently
claimed the whole of that country. The
Germans, he said, could secure the services
OF Tippoo lib if they paid him the
price he demanded. Under much pressure
Stanley stated an important fact which he
had intended TO mention solely in his forth
coming book. That was thai the Aruw-
himi forest, which belongs to the Congo
free state, was enormously richer in every
thing, especially rubber trees, than the
Amazon forests. This section of Africa he
declared would be the rubber reservoir OF
the universe.
HOW EMIN WAS WON OVER.
LONDON, April IL, 3 A. M-The Herald
prints an interview with Stanley in which
the latter maintains that the Germans in
huenced Emin while be- was sick aud that
Emin doubtless revealed proposals Stanley
made to him at Wadelai to escort him
to another part Of Africa and
install him as governor of the region.
Stanley thinks the Germans intend to
annex, and will act on these plans. IL Ger
many secures the lake region he says it will
DESTROY the whole value of the British coast
possessions. A conquest of Soudan would
cost e3,000.000, and no government in
Europe has the stamina to undertake it.
