A POLITICAL CONVENTION.

About the last thing the legislature
did was to form itself into a political
convention and pass a resolution. #
did NOT pass the "Ocala resolution, 9
but it voted down a substitute deelar,
ing allegiance to the democratic party
and instead passed the following by
an almost unanimous vote:
Resolved, by the House of Repre-.
sentatIves, the Senate conc rring,
That our senators and representatives
in congress be, and they are hereby
requested, to use their influence and
votes to secure legislation which will
correct the evils complained OF by the
National Farmers Alliance and In
dustrial Union in convention at Ocala,
Fla, especially those that relate to
the present financial and taxation pol
icy OF the government.
This was a compromise by which
those who did not favor the Oeala
platform in its entirety we're still en-
abled to vote or the general reform
movement sought to be inauguraled
by the Alliance who formulated the
Ocala platf rm.
There were two things rather re-
markable about these proceedings.
The first was th~ unusual incident OF
a legislative body converting itself
into convention Tor the purpose Of
passing upon party platforms, and
the second was the defeat Of the RESP.
luton declaring allegiance to Tie
democratic party.

NEW YORK, Feb 14-All night long
General Sherman wavered between life
and death and continued to fight bravely
his hopeless battle. Early in the evening
physicians knew the end was approach
ing slowly but surely. The swelling in
the face and neck disappeared, bat with
their subsistence symptoms of erysipelas
came, and a development OF the lung
trouble, complicated with the return of
long standing asthma. Mucus began
once more to accumulate in the lungs and
the first signs of passive pneumonia be-
came apparent.
At ll:30 o'clock last night the dying
soldier awoke, but merely to continue
breathing required all his efforts.
At midnight sleep had come to
the relief of the sufferer. At l
o'clock this morning the General
was still slumbering and there was no.
change in his condition as far as could be
determined by the doctors, and the house
was closed for the night. At $50 there
was no apparent change. General Ew-
lng'S son said at 4:25 that he could detect
no change, excepting that the Generals
respirations were considerably increased,
which caused anxiety. With the eNcep-
ion of heavy breathing at $50 no change
could be discerned. One hour later de
cided change for the worse set in. Another
hour and all the members of the family
were summoned. Death seemed near the
unconquered soldier, still he lay suffering
and suffering, but refusing to succumb.
Thus was passed the next few hours.
At S:25 Senator Sherman telegraphed
the family at Washington that his brother
twas still alive, but only family con-
scious. He apparently is without pain,
but his breathing is labored and his
strength diminishing
At this time the physicians We're hold
ing consultation. When over, it was
given out the Generals condition was
hopeless that the end was rapidly ap-
preaching and the bronchial trouble was
making marked progress.
When asked if there was the slightest
ray OF hope, one of the physicians re-
piled: mot the least hope remains. The
General cannot possibly survive the
day." Soon after the substance OF this
answer was officially announced as the
result of the consultation.
To the scores of anxious people await
ing information this bulletin was a pro-
found surprise. While it was known the

DEATH-BED SCENES.
The General Unable to Speak to Those
Around Him.

ONNA~Ns
NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE following
official statement of the scenes at the
death-bed of General Sherman, and the
arrangements for the funeral, were given
out by Lieutenant Fitch:
General Sherman lay in bed from Fri
day morning until he died to-day with
out speaking a word He made an at
tempt TO do so several times, but was un-
able to utter a sound other than a hoarse
gasp. He apparently recognized those
about him by look of the eye. His
tongue was swollen and his jaws still
some hours before he died. Signs OF
death were noticed half an hour before
he died in the icy coldness of the finger
tips. This GOODNESS gradually extended
to his hands and arms. He was uncon-
sclouS for the last two hours he was alive.
AT the bedside were his son, p. T.
Sherman; his daughters, Rachel and Liz
zie; Lieutenant and Mrs. Fitch, Lieuten-
ant and Mrs. Thackaray Senator John
Sherman, DR.. Alexander and General
Thomas Ewing. The two daughters re-
manned kneeling, one at each side of the
bed, during the last hours of the life of
their father. No priest or clergyman was
present. Neither were any called. No
priest has entered the house since Father
Taylor called. Death came so quietly that
those at the bedside did not realize that
the General was dead until Dr. Alexander
said, "All is over"
Death came with one long sigh. Suffo-
cation, due TO the lungs filling with mu-
Gus, was the cause. immediately after
death, Generals Howard and Slocum, who
were on the Generals staff, were sent for.
Some two weeks ago, the General made
known his wishes as to his burial. He
particularly requested that his body
should not lie in state anywhere. He also
requested that the funeral be strictly a
military one. He said he did not care
particularly for any military observances
here in New York, but he did want a mil
itary burial in st. Louis, which would be
participated in by his old comrades in
arms. He also requested that the funeral
rites be not in conformity with any re-
hgion. He wanted soldiers burial.
The body is now lying embalmed in the
room where the General died-a back
room on the second floor. The features
are natural, with the exception of slight
swelling on the right jaw and under both
eyes. The eyes are closed and the arms
folded across the breast.
Senator John Sherman left the house
early in the afternoon and went to the
house Of Mrs. Colgate Hoyt, where he
will remain until his departure for ST.
Louis.

received, and viii be made public to-mor-

LONDON, Feb. 14.-With the collapse of
the Boulogne negotiations the Home
Rule question has entered into moro
acrimonious stage.
Though there is not at present any
complete record of the recent negotia-
tons there is no doubt that Parnell's ex-
acting demands on the one hand, and the
prcssIro of Sir William Harcourt, with
some fifty other Radicals, backed up by
Heajey's section, on the other hand,
brought about the collapse by which the
Irish party is now left IN state OF inter
nccine warfare. Current reports credit
O'Brien with u distinct leaning to tho
side of Parnen, while Dillon is said TO be-
as strongly opposed to Parnell's leader
ship us Sir William Uarcourt or Bealey.
Now that the faction is at war the
American tour will not ne resumed, and
without funds FROM the other side OF the
Atlantic the plan OF campaign will he
gravely imperiled. Whatever money Par
nell controls will be required for electoral
contests and the maintenance of the cru
sade, and the Parnellites will also look to
their own necessities for the election and
for other purposes before considering any
other claim. Some of them are already
experiencing Inconvenience through the
stopped Parliamentary wages, and these
necessities are met by contributions from
a few more wealthy Gladstonians who
have undertaken to help certain members
who relied on league funds to meet their
Parliamentary expenses. But there is no
margin for evicted tenants, and these Of
course will feel the pinch more seriously
than anybody else. Smith Barry's char
acteristic generosity i'll restraining ten
ants, if possible, whenever they surren-
der, is sapping the plan of campaign
The McCarthyites are establishing a
National Federation to compete with
Parnelrs old machinery of the League.
Parnell, with his usual energy, has been
first TO draw the sword. He will shortly
speak at Roscommon, and make no secret
of his design TO throw away the scabbard
In conversation with friends he avows
his indignation against the bishops and
priests, and declared that although the
next election may cost him the loss of
perhaps half a dozen supporters, he
counts on winning thirty seats. He also
complains that Sexton and Mccarthy
have misrepresented the nature OF the
assurances, the Worthlessness of which
he will expose to an early meeting of his
followers.
The withdrawal of O'Brien and Dillon
into the comfortable surroundings of
HrSt-claSS misdemeanant'S cell may be
called good business from their point of
view. While the storms of faction rage
outside they can occupy themselves not
unpleasantly tor six months, reappear-
ing in public life when the combatants
become somewhat exhausted.

General was very low, yet somehow the
idea had gotten abroad that he was going
to pull through.
At $50 DIR. Janeway, the consulting
physician, left the house. There is
decided change for the worse" said the
doctor. HE will not live through the
day. He at present is very low.' He
may die at any moment. His strength
is failing. 'What seems to be the trouble
this morning ?" was asked. 'Erysipelas
in the bronchial tubes" was the reply.
HE BREATHEs HIS LAST.
During the forenoon, as the hours
passed by, every inquirer who called at
the Generals house was told that all hope
was abandoned, and that the Generals
relatives and attendants were merely
waiting for the end and endeavoring to
make his last hours as free from suffering
as possible. Among those who called
We're Cyrus w. Field and Mrs. u. S.
Grant. AS on the preceding days since it
became known that General Sherman lay
at deaths door, knots of people gathered
in the streets near his home and talked to
each other in low tones Of the dying sol
dier.
AT l:50 p. NJ. a servant came out of the
house and told the police on guard the
end had come, and that the General had
at last surrendered.
From Secretary Barrett it was learned
that General Sherman remained uncon-
scious to the last, dying with no visible
pain.

SCENES AT THE RESIDENCE.
The change in appearance of things
about General Sherfnan'S S late residence,
caused by death, was remarkable. A
small crowd of curious people had gath
cred on the sidewalk opposite the house
and gazed at the windows of the sick
chamber with anxious and sympathetic
eyes. There were faces at nearly every
window in the house fronting and within
range of the Sherman mansion The sun
had ceased to shine, and the house OF Sof-
row stood in the chill and shadow more
gloomy than ever.
