Bulletins Of His Condition Todsy-Unable to
Speak Distinctly.
OTTAWA. ONr., May 30.--Sir Hector Langevin
and nearly all the cabinet ministers are al
Ernscliffe, the home of Sir John Macdonald.
Lady Macdonald remained in the sick room,
until 4 O'Clock this morning, when she took a
short walk on the lawn. She looks very pale
and her face shows traces Of great suffering.
The following bulletins have been issued IN
regard to Sir John Macdonald's condition.
6a.m.-The premier passed the night quietly
and had short sleeps at intervals. He does
not suffer any pain. He is perfectly conscious
speech is yet in allegiance. He has taken milk
at intervals throughout the night. (Signed) R.
W. Powell, MD.
7:s0 a.m.-Sir John is reported little easier,
though his condition is very critical.
9a.m.-Dr. Montague says Sir John has Just
taken turn for the worse.
Sir John James Grant, DR.. Powell and Dr.. II.
2. Wright have been in consultation. The case
was regarded as hopeless. Sir John retained
consciousness, but suffered no pain. His ef-
forts to speak were pathetic. He was able to
articulate indistinctly various names repeated
by Lady Macdonald Lord Stanley cabled a
report Of Sir Johns condition this morning to
her majesty and Lord Salisbury.
Later the following bulletin was issued:
"The premier passed comfortable night as
could be expected, and this morning at our
consultation III o'clock we found his general
system unaltered from yesterday and our
opinion OF yesterday remains unaltered."
NAY DIE AT ANT MOMENT.
1880 p.m.-A reliable person who has Just
arrived from Earnscliffe says Sir Johns
condition at noon remained unchanged.
He is perfectly conscious and can make his
wants known, but cannot speak. The situation
is such that he may possibly linger for some
time or die at any moment

their surrender to him, feeling which they
entertained toward no other federal COM
mander. Thenceforth there sprung up and
grew between them and him kindness
which grew and -wsxed stronger as the
years rolled on, until, when he
died, his coffin bore as many flowers Of the
south as of the north; every state of the Union
stood around his bier, and the old confederate
veteran had feeling at his heart such as he
had not known since he stacked arms at Apo
mattox or wept at the tidings that Lee was
AN that Grant contended for was estab-
lished. All that Lee maintained failed Of &C
complement Every sensible citizen of this
republic now acquiesces cheerfully in the re-
suit. 1t is certain that many thousands of the
confederate veterans are to-day as affec-
tionately loyal to the federal government
as IL the lamentable strife had never been.
We come as men who feel that time has taught
all citizens Of this republic that they honor
themselves in honoring this great American.
Passion has subsidized sufficiently to let us see
him as he was-greater than any part Of our
divided country-a patriot whose fame belongs
to all his fellow citizens

AT CHATTANOOGA.
Dedication of q Monument to tho Me,nor,
Of "AndrANa, Raidars.,

Dedication of Monument to the Memory
Of "Andrews' Raidsrs."
CHATTANOOGA, TENN, May 3O.--A large
crowd was present here today on the occasion
of the dedication Of the monument erected
by the state of Ohio to the memory Of
Andrews raiders. All the railroads CENTER
ing in the city had been granted special
rates for the occasion and as result
large number Of Grand Army men
and others focked to the spot An elaborate
program was carried out, and ex-Gov. Foraker
delivered an eloquent Grafton. Among those
VINO occupied positions of honor around the
monument were the surviving descendants Of
the eight raiders, some OF whom live in Ohio
others In Kentucky and others in Kansas, Ar
kansas, California, Nebraska. Iowa and Okla
homa. Quite number of members Of the Sec
ond, twenty-frst and thirty-third Ohio regi-
ments Of infantry, to- which the raiders be-
ionged, were among the participants.
Gov. Foraker, in the course Of his address,
said: why is it we are here2 What purposes
are we seeking to promoter Why should the
general assembly OF o great state turn aside
from It's ordinary cares and duties to take such
action as has been mentionedp Why should a
justice OF the Supreme Court and two distin-
guished and honored citizens who are his 1880
ciates on the commission labor as tbey
nave with Jealous pride to discharge the
duties that have been Entrusted to them? The
answer is plain and simple. In the first place
there is no bitterness vain glory Or unworthy
spirit OF any kind involved. Ii is but stating
the exact truth to repeat as fairly applicable
TO the whole OF that great army who wore the
blue the dying words of Wilson. that he had no
hard feelings toward the south or her people
that he loved the Union and the flag, and was
lighting to uphold them, and not to do unnec-
essary injury to any one.'
The sentiments of gratitude to the men who
saved the Union grow with the years. But upon
these particular men rests a stigma. Ohio is
here today TO remove that stigma. She pro-
claims to future generations that these were
honorable men and soldiers, that their punish
ment was unmerited and that their names shall
shine on the roll Of honor among the brightest
OF all that illumine the pages of our history"
(Cheers.l
The monument dedicated today was erected
by the state of Ohio to the memory Of james
Andrews and his seven colleagues, known to
history as the Andrews Raiders" and who on
April i, 1862. when Buell. was planning his ad-
vance from Nashville, seized the train at At
isnta and rushed north with it to this city,
burning bridges and destroying tracks as they
went, for the purpose of breaking up railroad
travel and transportation between Atlanta and
chattanooga, and who were subsequently hanged
for their action.

He Says the General AssembIy's Action il
Against Union Seminary.
New York, May sO.-When the vote Of the
general assembly was brought to Prot. Briggs
last night he received it with no manifestation
OF surprise. 1.-THE result is one that 1 ex-
pected," he said. II am not at all surprised
even by the largeness of the adverse vote
From the stand that the directors of the semi
nary have taken it must surely be seen that the
vote is not a personal one, but against the
seminary ITSELF
Prot. Briggs sailed for England this morning
with his daughter. He will remain at Oxford
all summer, spending large part of his time
in biblical studies. DIR. Briggs health has inn
proved greatly in the las, day or two and
he is looking forward to the sea trip
with great pleasure. clerical friend Of
DR.. Briggs says yesterdays vote does not indi-
cate the feeling of the church at large, or at
least cannot be known to do so. The delegates
were elected on the revision issue and before
the Briggs issue came up. Next years assem-
bly, will, Of course, be composed of delegates
elected more or less on the Briggs issue, and
they will represent the feeling OF the local
churches.

1.-THE county Of Duchess has been proverbial

Quebec. Montgomery and his associates of the
revolution achieved the Independence OF three

in the year 1935-in the lifetime Of many now
in manhood-the English-speaking republi-

more than $50 900 900.
ITO escape the charge Of being vainglorious
and boastful OF our future l gladly use the
prophetic words of the great Englishman, John
Bright, whose eloquent voice was raised in
our behalf during the dark days of
the civil war. I sec, said Mr.. Bright,

the frozen north to the glowing south, and
from the wild pillows Of the Atlantic to the
calmer waters Of the Pacific main, and see one

dren were taken from him on the ground that
their names had not been registered,
and the other two succumbed to the
privations Of the journey to the Russian

United States. Some Of the refugees have
their wrists and arms swollen owing to the
driven from Moscow. The kind treatment Of
the relief committee has revived their courage
considerably. Some Of the refugees
speak in the fercest terms Of their
Russian prosecutors, and one lad in
particular attracted attention BY his threats of
personal vengeance upon the car. He was
warned not to use such language. A corre-
spondent says that no one seeing these people
can doubt that Russia has sown the seeds Of
future evil for the Romanof dynasty.
