WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.--At II a. m.
Mrs. Harrison was bai ely alive. She
had passed the stage where nourishment
could be administered, having received
the last, little liquid stimulant at
about midnight. Since then the nurse
and physician have been able to do moth

Gardner reached the house and remained
at the bedside of the patient until 9:80.
As he left he stated that it seemed to
him impossible that Mrs. Harrison

Panama railroad for transferring its
traffic across the isthmus. The two
companies have had falling out and
cannot agree on new contract. The
steamship company win find new

are that it has already reached de-

old charter that was obtained many
years ago.

For Scientific Purposes.

BERLIN, Oct. 25.--The Aeronautic
society has decided that the gift Of
$4,000 marks made by Emperor William
shall be devoted to the construction of a
colossal balloon Tor scientific purposes.
The balloon is to be sixteen metres in
diameter, with capacity of 2,528 cubic
metres, 1t Is to be fitted ont with the
finest obtainable scientific apparatus,
and is to make fifty ascents per annum.
1t is calculated that it will be prac-
ticable to make observations with this
balloon at the heighth of 1.00o. metres.
Stress is laid upon the fact that the bal
loon is NOT TO be usedsfor military pnr-
poses.

named man is in Indianapolis,
the second in Chicago, and the third
i'm Wisconsin. The family were
early gathered in the room adjoining
the sick chamber, and when informed
that Mrs. Harrison's condition showed
no unexpected change, repaired to the
dining room. After breakfast the pres
ident returned to the bedside of his
wife, from which he has been absent
the last few days only long enough to
obtain absolutely needed rest, and the
others went into the piazza at the south
side of the house for a breath of fresh
air. When thus refreshed the sad vigil
which they have so long maintained,
was resumed. During the morning
there were rather more than the usual
numbered callers, who left their cards
merely after receiving the answers to
their inquiries.
At o'clock Dr. Gardner paid third
visit to the White House, having previ-
ously oeen there al IL. He remained
but few n ninutes, and as he left gave
to crowd of newspaper men the pres
ent condition of Mrs. Harrison; .'She
is gradually growing weaker, slipping
away" he said.
What are the probabilities was
asked.

moment, and she may live five or six
hours yet"
lis she consciousY
Occasionally. She passes most of
the time in heavy sleep, but arouses
once in awhile when we moisten her
lips with stimulant."
docs she come out of the sleep
naturally, or is II the result of efforts by
those about?'
'Sbearouses naturally and isconscious.
There is no coma'in her condition"
DIR. Gardner calls Mt the White House
at no regular intervals, but as often as
the demands of other patients bring
him within convenient distance and
when he starts out on his regular round
of calls.
Shortly after 12 o'clock Rev. DIR.
Handen, pastor Of Mrs. Harrison's
church, called and was taken upstairs.
For the first time since Mrs. Harrison's
illness began has the East room and
lower corridors of the house been closed
against callers.
PerceptibIy Weaker.
DIR. Gardner called at the White
House at p. IN. and fonnd Mrs. Harri-
son pereeptibly weaker than on his for
mer visit. Sheis conscious and evidently
recognizes those about her, though she
is too weak TO converse. She has taken
short maps tor some hours, but no nour-
ishment of any kind has been given her.
Progress of the Disease.
The first appearance Of the insiduous
disease in Mrs. Harrison's case dates
back to an attack of the influenza
two years ago. Soon after her return to
Washington as wife of the president it
began to betnoticed that she was not ap-
parently as strong physically or as well
able to meet her social duties as she had
shown her, Il during her husbands
term az senstos. In March last she was
far from well, but as she had managed
to go through the official round of en-.
tertainments without breaking down
she helsolf thought her indisposition
only telnporary. She continued to hold
her weekly receptions for her friends in
the blue room at 8 ocicck. 1t was at one

newell posts are Of teak, mahogany and
white holly. The diuing-room tables are
still In the hands of the carpenters and
joiners, but all set in position. They are
OF prma vera, polished, with double swing
chairs.
The dininG-room skylight is the hand
soonest OF any steamer in the port. The
panels are all hand painted. as well as the
ceiling of the dome over the staircase from
the saloon to the dinng-r0om. Besides the
carpenters and JOlners there are 100 ma
chinlSts at work. and the upholsterers, who
are busy uptown, are keeping pace with
them.
Externally the Peru greatly resembles the
Colms. Acapulco, San Juan. San Bias and
other two-masterS of the line She has n
very tall smOkestack, feature which has

the furnaces required TO make the speed
stipulated In the mail subsidy. The Peru
Is expected to make 10 knots, which will
place her in a position to steam away from
any vessel owned by the company proper
on this side Of the isthmus.
Irving Nj. Scott was well satisfied with the
results OF his iabors on the Peru, the Fear
less and the battle-ships. Speaking to the
reporter Yesterday on the subject of the
Fearless he said he had read number of
comments on her slOwness etc, and smi!-
ingly asked II the critics were aware that
she was not built for speed. The Fear

about speed. Oar work on the cruisers

is the only tug in the harbor which could

Over $50 men are now at work on the
new Mail steamer Peru, which will sail for
China and Japan on August L.
When a CALL reporter visited the Union
Iron Works yesterday the steamer had just
been unlocked, having been painted and re-
ceived her propeller. The trial trip has
been fixed for the 25th inst. and from the
appearance of the vessel within and with
out il looked as IL all hands would have
busy time to fill the contract on time. If
the trial trip is satisfactory, the Peru viii
be locked at the Mail dock on the 9th.
She Will have steam steering gear, of the
Union Iron Works type. a special feature
of the vessel is the introduction of ice
machines. also cold-storage room. The
ice-machine is of the capacity of 1900
pounds day, and the same machine gives
her cold storage. This feature has been in
troduced into a few of the Pacific Mail
steamers on trial, with the greatest sue
cess. An immense quantity of peTishabie
provisions can be stored up by this arrange
ment. even in tropical climates.

A bright little young ,ter named Chester
Somehow rested his weary bones in the

he was years of age and up TO July he
resided with his father and stepmother at
100 FILLMORE street. According to the young
ster his father is an accomplished sales
man OF clothing aud formerly worked in a
house in Los Angeles. There he met his
second wife, charming young Jewess of
Il years of age. The lad SAID that his new
mother never had any children of her own

erly. On the 9th of July, he said, papa and
mamma told him to get out and battle for
himself, as they were going away. lie is

That is The way things are run in Hunt

But it will not be Huntington's Oakland

The people are worked up to a high pitch.
They will stand no more of this crooked

are enraged at the action OF their Mayor.

railroad, and the Mayor knew it, There

to show himself as he did on the side Oh at

beileve-that have cost him good deal, and
so for the sake of $1,000 fee he went into
the railroad camp.
But we are not urging the matter against
the Mayor. 1t speaks for Itself They
raised great hue and cry against him at
the mass-meeting two weeks ago, but the
leaders Of the meeting took no notice of the
cries: What about the Mayor? What
Is to be done with Chapman They would
doubtless have hanged him in effigy, but
there was no need TO do that-he had hanged
himself.
Il remember queer thing that happened
when Chapman was nominated for Mayor.
Chickering nominated him and he made a
very laudatory speech, which gave the cue
70 Chapman's political mbition beyond the
MayOralty.

now writes NJ. {. before his name, but who
Will, before long, write NJ. c. after his

We hope everything from the March cleo
lions. But OF course we cannot tell how they
will circumvent us. They will get together
all the legal talent they can and all the jolly
young fellows who hang around the saloons.
The trouble is that the better element
brings too much piety into its politics.
WHAT we want IS practical politics.
There is Il good deal of talk here now
about running Pardee for Mayor. | think
he would sweep the town. He has been an
upright man as Councilman and tower of
strength.
There is strong determination not to
stand any more wroDg-doing among the city
officials here.
