BARON HIRscH HAS BROKEN DOWN.
HIS Colonization Scheme Being Failure
He Turns to the United States.

He Turns to the United States.
PARIS, May 3l.-Baron Hirsch is SER
iously ill III this city with influenza
aud congestion OF the lungs. Tie
gravest fears are expressed AS to the
result OF his illness, and this morning
q report OF his death was in circula-
ton. 1t proved, however, to be un.
founded. The death of Baron Hirsch
would have u most serious effect npon
his great enterprises, including the re-
lief of the Russian Jews by their set
tiement in other countries. 1t is said
that Baron Hirsch has devoted himself
to this supreme object Of his life with
such earnestness As TO greatly weaken
much to do in bringing about lie illness.
The baron has been much disap-
pointed by the comparative failure of
MS attempt to establish AL Argentine
coIoney OF Jews, and also by the un.
favorable reception OF INDECENT He
brews in the United States. Ii is SAID
that the baron and his advisers have
come to the conclusion that the United
states ia the only refuge for the
Russian Jews, and that modification
must be sought OF the rules of that
country which treat assisted emigrants
as paupers, SO that there may bs no
obstruction whatever to transferring
at many as possible of the Russian
Hebrews TO America. The reports
received from those who have gone to
the United States are generally
favorable, whereas from other
countries they are unfavorable.
A scheme is said to be under
consideration for introducing a
large number of Russian Hebrews into
the factory towns OF America. II is
believed that the factory owners wouI3
bc glad to secure them At lower wages
than those now employed. and that
they would speedily become proficient
in the arts of spinning and weaving
The threatening attitude oil the En-
glish workingmen toward alien immi-
grafton has prevented the carrying out
ef a similar plan in England.
Baron Hirsh IS reported slightly bet
ter tins evening.

SHERMAN ON SILVER.
The Senator Interrupted by Numerous
Questions.

WASHINGTON, May 81. = Mr.. Sher-
mans great speech on silver today was
delivered In . most effective manner
without notes. and Was listened to by
an attentive senate and by filled gal
leries. Many of the democratic SEN
ators gathered round the speaker.
Mr.. Mills (Texas) took chair
in the aisle the better 10
listen, observing which Mr.. Sherman
who was beginning to touch upcn the
benefits which protection jointly with
honest money conferred on the coun-
try, suddenly stopped and laughingly
remarked that As he saw the senator
from Texas preparing TO follow him he
would leave the merits OF protection to
be discussed in some more appropriate
bill. Messrs- Morgan. Pugh. Teller and
other silver advocates, as we'll as
Mr.. McPherson, of New Jersey. rained
q constant succession of q questions upon
the speaker. which led Mr.. Morrill,, of
Vermont, to interpose with q vigorous
objection to the practice which he said
had grown up of late years IN the sen-
ate Of converting every senator's speech
into . colloquy. The questions, never
theless, continued and Mr.. Sherman
said the only result would be that he
would occupy two days with the speech
instead of one.
Mr.. Sherman continues his speech
asking: "Shall we cell our silver? We
have over S40o, ,0oo. 900 and only six or
seven millions in circulation. The bal

power to sell It, but the parties would
not agree. Now to attempt to sell that
silver on falling market would only
be adding misery TO ruin. do not
like to talk of these things, but it is my
duty to do So"
Mr.. Teller Of Colorado and Mr.. Nor
gan of Alabama again commenced TO
rain questions on Mr.. Sherman, but
Mr.. Morrill, of Vermont objected and
said as the senator had now been
speaking over two hours and half he
suggested an adjournment. With Mr..
Sherman still holding the floor the
senate at 4:30 adjourned till tomorrow.

DEATHS VALLEY.
The Last Poem Penned by the Sweet Ora,
Poet, Walt whitman


A little while before the death of the
sweet gray poet, Walt Whitman. he
penned a poem Ito accompany picture,
by request), entitled Deaths Valley. By
request the poem is here with presented:
Nay, do not dream, designer dark,
Thou hast portrayed or hit thy theme entire:
l. hoverer of late by this dark valley, by its con
fines, having glimpses of it,
Here enter lists with thee, claiming my right to
make a symbol too.
For have seen many wounded soldiers die,
After dread suffering-have seen their lives pass
off with smiles;
And l have watch'd the death-hours of the old;
and seen the infant die;
The rich with all his nurses and his doctors;
And then the poor, in meagreness and poverty;
And l myself for long, Death, have breathed my
every breath
Amid the nearness and the silent thought of thee
And out of these and thee,
[ make scene, song brief mot fear of thee,
Nor gloom's ravines, nor bleak, nor dark-for
do not fear thee,
tied knott,
Of the broad blessed light and perfect air, with
meadows, ripping tides, and trees and flowers
and grass,
And the low hum of living breeze and in the
midst Gods beautiful eternal right hand,
Thee, hottest minister of Heaven-thee, envoy,
usherer, guide at last of all,
Ri h, forid, loosener of the strcture-knot call'd
life,
Sweet, peaceful, welcome Death.
