while he was unconscious, leaving the in
ference to be drawn that it was without
his permission. Many other differences
might have been drawn from the article

family and the extreme JUNCTION was ad-
mlnistered also at their request. 1t was
true the general might not have been con-
sciouS OF what was going on, but there mas
been no secrecy about it whatever
Tonight Senator John Sherman has sent
this letter: "Gentlemen-The paragraph
in your paper gives very erroneous view
of an incident in General Sherman's sick
chamber which wounds the sensitive feel-
ings of his children now in deep distress,
and which under the circumstances, deem
it proper to correct. Your reporter 1ntl-
mates that advantage was taken OF my
temporary absence to introduce Catholic
priest into General Sherman's chamber to
administer the sacrament OF ex-
IRENE JUNCTION to the sick man In the
nature of claim that he was Catholic.
1t Is well known that his family
has been reared by their mother who was Il
devoted Catholic in her faith and now
clings to it. II is equally well known that
General Sherman and myself as well as all
my mothers children are by inheritance,
education and conviction Christians, but
not Catholics, and this has been openly
avowed on proper occasions by General
Sherman, but he is too good a
Christian and too humane man to deny
his children the consolation of their religion.
He was insensible at the time and ap-
parently at the,verge of Edeath, but If he
had been well and in the full exercise of
his faculties he would not denied
to them the consolation of prayers
and religious observances for their
! father of any class or denomina-
ton of Christian priests or preachers.
Certainly if l had been present would, at
the request of the family, have assented to
and reverently shared in an appeal tc
the Almighty for the life here and here
after of my brother, whether in prayer OF
extreme JUNCTION, and whether uttered by 6
priest or preacher or any ouher good mar
who believed what he spoke and had homes
faith in his creed. l hear that your repor
ter uttered threat to obtain information
which l cannot believe you would for
moment tolerate. We all need charity fo1
our frailt1es, and 1 can feel none for an!
one who would wound those already in dis

fishes the story of the Boulogne conference
negotiations, at which, it says, Parnell at
the outset declared he mad finally absu-
doned the notion of leading the party. As
surarce were received from Gladstone on
the questions of land and police, both be-

to the negotiations. At the last moment
Parnell declared that the pledge that Ire
land should have final control of the police,
should have mandatory force. provided

Parnell then snapped the negotiations.

THE EVIDENCE.
Against Gibson, Secretary of the
Whisky Trust,
Is COmplete-A DiabOlical Plan Happily Frus-
trated-The Trust Officials Are Very
Much Excited Over the Matter.

CHICAGO. Feb. 13.-This morning Attor-
ney Barry, of counsel for Gibson, secre-
tary of the Whisky trust, with District
Attorney Gilchrist, made an examination
OF the package said to have been delivered
os Gibson to Dewar. When the package
was opened pint bottle full of light blush
fluid was discovered. A drop Of this was
put upon piece of paper and the instant
it came in contact with the paper there was
a flash, a stream of fire shot up and the
room was filed with suffocating sulphur
GUS fumes. So quickly did the paper burn
that q bucket of water had to be thrown on
it TO prevent the fire from communicating
with other materials. The strong smell
emitted by the fluid proved its principal
| ingredient to be PHOSPHORUS. Gilchrist
said of the result of the experiment: "Our
purpose in making the experiment was to
| find out if the fluid was the same as that
| IN the bottle which Gibson gave 10 Dewar.
| Such it proved TO De- 1t fastens the chain
! of evidence securely around Gibson, and
makes 1t possible to iadict him for at
tempted arson"
| United States District Attorney Gilchrist
said the purpose in making an experiment
was to ascertain if the fluid found in Glib
sons valise was the same as in the bottle
which he gave to Dewar, and which had
been previously tested. Such it proved to
be. The fact that anything was delivered
to Dewar, besides the fluid, had been denied
by some, but Attorney Gilchrist says that
in the package delivered TO Dewar was a
section OF gun barrel, charged with
powder, and steel proiectile packed in the
can with oakum and cotton, through which
ran fuse. The fluid in the bottle was to
be poured on the fuse, which would ignite
and explode the powder in the gun barrel.
The officials about the government build
ing have been discussing the probability of
his escaping to Canada. One officer said
they will not attempt 20 dog him, as it is
an easy matter to get him back. 1t is I'M
derstood the federal officers are trying to
secure from the Western Union company

Inspector Stuart said to night, during q
trip to Peoria last week he found where
Gibson's fluid was compounded, and oh
tanned evidence as to whom it was that
loaded the gun barrel. The work was done
in Peoria by one and the same man-GibsOr
himself. Captain Stuart obtained some Of
! Gibson's handwriting at Peoria, and had Il
compared with the letters by an expert
who unhesitatingly declared that the tell
tale penmanshiD was GibSOu'S

Senator Stewart Addresses Boston Silver
Meeting.

Boston, Feb. 13.-About eight hundred
people gathered in Fanevil hall this even
ing at call of committee of citizens to
hear the ''other side'' of the silver ques-
ton from Senator Stewart, of Ne
vada, and Representative Warner,
of Iowa. Senator Stewart during
the last half of his speech was
applau6ed nearly every sentence. He said,
in part: The silver question is only an in
cident of the money question. Money is
essential to ciyIlizetion. The value of
money. like that of every thing else, depends
on the law of supply and demand. The ratio
of silver and gold is the only manner to de-
termine what quantity of money would Cir
eulate among the people. These gold con-
tractlonists would change every contract
to one payable in gold alone. They saw
| quality is more important than quantity,
but quality depends on quantity, because
the price of money is governed by the law
of supply and demand.
Representative Warner explained
and illustrated the proposition that the
silver question was entirely one OF guam

Death of Admiral D. Porter.

WASHINGTON, Feb 13.-Admiral David
D. Porter died this morning. His death
was very sudden. 1t occurred at his resi-
dence here, and was the result of fatty de-
generation of the heart with which he has
been affected since last summer. His
death was calm and peaceful. When Dr.
Wells left him at IL o'clock last night, his
condition was about the same as 1t had
been for several weeks past. There were
no indications that his medical services
would be needed before the time for the
DOCTORS regular visit this morning. The
nature of the admiral'S disease made it
dangerous for him to lie on his back, so that
he was accustomed to rest sitting up on a
large sofa with his Aback and head sup
ported by pillows. The admiral awoke at
8: 45 this morning and took his nourishment
as usual. He afterwards fell into light
sleep and gave no indication whatever that
his end was so near at hand. AT o'clock
the admiral's son Richard who slept by his
side, noticed a change in his fathers condi-
ton. He was breathing with difficulty and
seemed to be choking The household was
at once aroused and DR.. Wales
sent for. The patients pulse grew
faster and at 8:15 o'clock ceased to beat.
