ada Give Up ALI Hope.
HE SUFFERS A SERIOUS RELAPSE.
His Present Illness Dates From the Early
Part of Last Week.
THE CAREER OF A FAMOUS STATESMAN

OTTAWA, May 29.-Sir John Macdonald,
according to the verdict of his physicians,
has but a few hours longer to live. DIR.
Powell issued the following, dated 1870 P.
NJ: 81 have just seen Sir John in con-
suftation. His speech is gone, and the
hemorrhage has extended to his brain. His
condition is quite hopeless"
In the early part of last week he was in
excellent health, which it was hoped was Of
a permanent character, but on Friday he
contracted cold which proved obstinate,
and probably gave rise to the rumor of in
fammation of the lungs. The matter was
not of a serious character, though sufficient
to confne the Premier to his house. On
Wednesday night the nervous weakness
which, since the elections, has al
ways been present, grew sufficiently
great to justify the attending physi-
clan in asking expert assistance.
This being represented to Sir John, he was
induced to consent to specialists being
called in, and Drs. Ross and Stewart, of
Montreal, were telegraphed for. They came
up yesterday and a consultation was held at
2 o'clock. A thorough examination of Sir
Johns condition was entered upon, and the
result of the diagnosis was consensus of
the belief that the only trouble asphysical
and nervous weakness, which had through
hard work, eventuated into actual prostra-
tion.

Hesitation of surprise. "The result is one
that expected" he said. 81 am not at all
surprised, even by the largeness of
the adverse report. From the stand that
the directors of the seminary have taken, it
must surely be seen that the vote is not a
personal one, but against the seminary
itself" President Thomas s. Hastings, of
the Union Seminary, is still out of town,
and so are most of the directors
A clerical friend of Dr. Briggs, in dis
cussing the verdict, said: "The General
Assembly of 1891 was packed Assembly
and we couldn't expect anything else from
it. 1t was directly an anti-revisionist As
sembly, and every one of its members was
necessarily an uncertain quantity
on the Briggs matter The vote of
the Assembly cannot count unless
there was an issue before the church, in
which the delegates were elected. An
equal number of delegates brought together
next year upon the direct issue might re-
verse the decision of this year. The revis-
ionists carried their point last year, and
they were willing to tstep aside this year
and let the anti-revisionists have a show.
The vote emphatically does not represent
the church" Prof Briggs sails for Eng

LEBANON, PA, May 29.-At to-day's
session of the General Synod of the Evan
gelical Lutheran Church it was decided to
authorize the issue of a provisional revised
catechism. 1t was resolved that the cate
chism should not be regarded as a confess
sional standard, or as in any way affecting
the present doctrinaf basis of the General
Synod.
DR.; wenner, of New York, reported for
the board to found deaconesses' institu-

approved. A number of young women are
to be sent to Kaiserwerth, the original
deaconess institution, and there trained to
become the first leaders in the proposed
American institution.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
NEW YORK, May 29.-Edward H Goff, a
man who enjoyed and deserved the reputation
of being able to raise more money on wind
than anybody in New York, died on Friday
at his home, and with him perished one of
the smartest schemes for getting rich
easily that even his fertile brain ever
worked Golf was the head of the Ameri-
can Export and Trading Company. This
corporation was organized. two years ago,
and, as its charter says, for doing gen.
eral commission export and import business
in manufactured and unmanufactured goods
and merchandise between the United States
of America and the Spanish-American Re-
other countries. It has been great pro-
moter of reciprocity" and Golf finally
believed, when he was stricken down ten
days ago, that he was on the eve of making
a sudden fortune by a deal which he had
completed with one of the South American
Republics, while he had negotiations under
way for still more profitable treaties with
other Governments below the equator.
According to the statement of a GENTLE
man who saw the correspondence few days
before Goff's death, private, COM
mercial treaty had been made bY that
ambitious individual with the Republic of
Ecuador, the terms of which awarded to him
or his company a monopoly of all the trade
that passed through the Ecuador custom
houses. The American Export and Trading
Company comes to its end with the death
of it's President. 1t probably has not a dol
lar in assets for its stockholders.

NO CHECK TO IMMIGRANTS.
STRANGE STATE OF AFFAIRS IN THE
BALTIMORE COMMISSION.

Only One of the Members Attends to Busi-
ness, and He Is the German Consul and
Agent for the Steamship Company That
Is Bringing the Immigrants Here.
: BALTIMORE, May 29.-Immigration to
this port has been unusually large of late,
with no corresponding increase in New York
or other cities, and it is said that the true
reason may be found in the very liberal con-
struction placed upon the act for exclusion
Of undesirable aliens by the immigration
Commission. This commission is supposed
to consist of three persons, but one of them,
James Carey Coale, died some time ago and
his place has not been filled.
The other two are G. A. Won Lingen and
Patrick Reilly, the latter wholesale liquor
dealer. Mr.. Reilly's attention is so COM
pletely engrossed by business that he
rarely finds time to attend the meet
ings of the commission. Mr.. Won Lingen
is also German Consul for Balti-
more, and as such it is his duty to
see to the rights of citizens of the
Fatherland who may want to settle here.
He is also member of the firm of A. Schu-
maeher & Co., the Baltimore agents of the
North German Lloyd Steamship Company
This line of steamers carries the greatest
number of immigrants, and self-interest
would seem to prompt him to lay no OBJ
stacles in the way which would arrest the
stream of foreigners.
The Secretary of the board is Henry Hill
ken, member of Schumacher & Co. How
conscientiously Messrs. Won Lingen and
Hilken have discharged their duties toward
this Government, and at the same time not
allowed other interests to be at disadvan-
tage, is evidenced by some of therecent de-
cisions. Among the immigrants landed
q week ago were men who on account
of physical infrmity, should not be allowed
to land. At least this was the opinion of
Immigrant Inspector Davis, who ordered
that they be returned. This provoked a
strong protest from the nine immigrants,
and particularly from the commission Mr.
Won Lingen, as German Consul and as repre-
sentative of the North German Lloyds,
brought all of his powers of argument and
reasoning to bear upon Mr. Won Lingen,
Immigration Commissioner, and succeeded
in persuading him that of the nine persons
whose landing was opposed by the Inspector
only one should be sent back; But so
strongly were the sympathies of Mr.. Won
Lingen as the German Consul enlisted that
after time he found some one to go bail
for the ninth man, and having, furthermore,
proved to the satisfaction of Mr. Won
Lingen, the Immigration Commissioner,
that the mans disease was not of a serious
nature, he, too, was allowed tostay. The
action of the commission is causing much
comment, and protest will probably be made
against appointing any interested person on
the commission.

Katie was wooed by half a dozen young men

Mrs. Lampher, who is known as "C6lleen

'I'll tell you what you do, " Mrs. Lampher

This Is the Condition Should Sealing Be

lFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON, May 29.-It is the general
opinion here that even if the British Parlia-
ment enacts the proposed law closing the
sealing for this season, in accord with the
agreement with the United States, which is
not at all certain, in view of the tremendous
row the Canadians are sure to make about
it, the United States will be the only coun-
try seriously hurt. To begin with, the
Treasury will be short $500, 900 that it would
have if the sealing company were to take
the limit of 60, 600 seals. 1t will be out
the cost of maintenance of the persons who
would, were it not for the agreement. be
maintained by the sealing company. Should
arbitration 90 against the United States,
the Treasury will be out the amount of
damages established in every case of the
apprehension of Q "poacher."
The only offset to the loss occasioned by
closing the season will be the $40 ROYALTY
the company will pay for each pelt taken
previous to the issue of an order to cease
taking seals. Another question raised is
that Of the legal right of the United States
to prevent even vessels flying its own flag
from taking all the seals they can, If tie
proposed law be enacted by Parliament
Great Britain can, it is to be presumed, un-
der its provisions, prevent vessels flying
the British flag from engaging in sealing.
But there is no law which gives the United
States the power to apprehend vessels fly
ing its own flag, and punish the offenders.
On the other hand, if the United States
Government should, because it has the
force to do it, arrest owners of vessels
engaged in sealing, such owners would have
good cause for action. Vessels flying the
flags Of countries other than the United
seals at pleasure, but it is not to be sup

posed that they would engage in the busi-

1t is believed by some legal minds here
who have given much thought to the sub
ject that the administration has sacrificed
its case, and that arbitration will promptly
decide against the open-sea theory, where a
little frmness on the part of the Govern
ment would have led to complete back
down on the part of the British, who would
not have risked unfriendly relations for the
sake of few Canadian sealers.
