Pretty Ruff, Don't You Think.

Wilmington, the Populist member
from Lincoln county, in a spreading
speech, declared Mrs. Lease to be the
COLOSSUS of Kansas" The Colossus of
Rhodes is reputed to have been a great
straddler: so high and wide that ships
ssaiIed between his legs without the masts
jabbing him. But Mrs. Lease being a
woman, and Wichita woman, we dpn {

suggestions. Wichita EAGLE.

besides the desire of Saussier to dis
claim his ambition for the presidency.
Carnot's intimates assert that he is ca
psble OF being as stern and resolute in
the enforcement of his authority as any
man who ever ruled France. Should
Carnot be compelled, his friends say,
to face either q monarchist or
Anarchist uprising, he would astcnish
the people with his severity in crushing
the ingurrection and Furnishing the
guilty participants. 1t is stated that
secret orders have been sent to the COM
manders OF the army corps to be ready
to cooperate, in case of necessity, with
the civil authority and deal promptly
with any symptoms of finsubordination in
the army itself. There is no reason to
suppose, however, that anv insurbordi-
nation exists. Both officers and SOL
diers, generally, are loyal to the re-
public.
The attacks of foreign critics on the
republic have aroused Indignation, and
served to stimulate the spirit OF patri-
otism which rises above factional differ
ences. The Paris newspapers today
show either decided leaning or milder
opposition toward the government. The
resolute course of the ministry has had
favorable influence and virtually
unanimous approval of the expulsion o.
foreign detractors.

BLAINE's CONDITION.

He Is Exceedingly Feeble and Cannot
Last Much Longer.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Blaine's ply
sicians this afternoon issued the follow
ing:
''Blsine's condition is one of great
weakness, shown principally in the
feebleness of the hearts action and
difficult breathing. He is perfectly con-
scious, and at no time has he been in a
etate OF stupor; he suffers no pain; no
narcotics or sedatives have at any time
been given it ia not probable that such
remedies will be needed"
Blaine's disease remains mystery to
all but bis family and attending physi-
clans. The latter decline, without the
expressed authority of the family, to di-
vulge the nature OF the complaint
which has now kept the pa
tient continuously in bed for four
or five weeks, with constantly
diminishing strength and frequent
sinking spells. threatening immediate
dissolution. One of the physicians who
has treated Blaine in the past said to-
day: "The real nature OF Blaine's i'll
ness will probably only be made known
when the certificate of the health Office
is made public, and fear that will occur
before long"
At 12 80 there is no appearance of
change in Blaine's condition. Neither
of the physicians ia in the house, and
the lights are all out.

IN GOOD SHAPE TO FALL.
THE REPUBLICAN SENATE DIVIDED
AGAINST ITSELF.
A Caucus to Arrange an Order OF Busi-
ness Fails to Agree-Western sena-
tors Oppose the Repeal OF
the Sherman Act.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Thero was
caucus of the Republican senators this
morning to arrange the order OF busi-
ness to follow the anti-option bill,
which is expected to be disposed OF
Wednesday,. Nnthina FINAL was done,
because of difference of opinion that
could not be adjusted in the brief time
the caucus was in session. The difficulty
arose from the efforts Of certain senators
to bind the caucus to take up the silver
repeal resolution Immediately after the
anti-option bill. The silver senators
bitterly resisted the attempt and the
caucus adjourned to meet tomorrow.
The northwestern senators also made
vigorous fight for the admission of
New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Okla
homa as states. They claimed that the
opposition heretofore manifested by
Platt, chairman of the committee on
territories, was weakening the Repub-
lican party. 1t is probable that Carey
will introduce an omnibus bill for the
purpose. All these, except possibly
Oklahoma, will be Democratic.
An agreement was reached that vote
be taken on the anti-optlon bill Wednes-
day.
That there is trouble ahead on the all
yer question is evident from. the attitude
of Teller and Stewart, both OF whom are
bitterly opposed to the repeal of the
Sherman act. Stewart declined to enter
the Republican caucus, but will join
with Teller in anything that will help
along silver. Other senators, not SO
pronounced in their views, cay many
who are not in favor of free coinage will
not vote to repeal the Sherman act, as
they look upon it as safety valve that
ought not to be tampered with.
Immediately after the caucus Teller
held an earnest conversation with the
Democratic senators on the floor. 1t is
probable that he has laid plans for
vigorous resistance to any step that has
for it's end the repeal Of the Sherman
law.
Favorable action was taken in the
direction of setting aside an early day
for the consideration of bills submitted
to the interstate commerce committee.
The proposition to guarantee the
bonds of the Nicaragua canal came up,
but was not discussed at any length,
and, as has been said, the caucus ad-
journed over until tomorrow night,
when it is thought full attendance
will be had and pending legislation be
thoroughly discussed

when the body was carried from the hall
across the street fully 1000 people were
within sight. AS coon as the casket
was seen hundreds of heads were barred
and bowed as the pall-bearers alowly
bore their illustrious burden into the
sanctuary. Only those who held cards
of admission secured entrance to the
church. A eulogy was spoken at the
services at the house, 80 there were
no departures from the regular service
at the church. At its close the casket
was borne out of the church and placed
in hearse, and the line of march taken
TO the cemetery. More than 150 car
riages were in line, and when the escort
arrived at the grave with the casket the
last of the cortege had but just left the
church. Only those persons who came
in carriages were allowed to enter the
inclosure. General Beach and staff oc-
cupied knoll inside, and troops and
volley-frers grouped near the grave.
Rev. DR.. Chambre concluded the re-
ligious service, the Masons gave short
ritual and volley was fired. Thousands
followed the procession to the burying
ground, and there was great confusion
after the ceremonies were finished. The
city was in confusion all day long in

and that there is no organized re-

In the elections which were held day
before Yesterday Hyppolyte's friends
and relatives were chosen delegates, but
their success was due to a display OF
force at the polls, which terrorized the
voters. Notwithstandin the encourag-
ing terms used in his manifesto, the
president is undoubtedly fearful OF q
general uprising and in terror OF his
life. The guards about bis house have
been doubled and other precautions
taken to insure his personal safety. IL
is reported that discomfort against the
president is spreading all through the

herents in the north have abandoned
bis support, and like desertions are re-
ported from the south.

Almost instantaneous.

David Porter's FrightfuI FalI-Death
Almost instantaneous.
San FRANCISCO, Jan. 16.-About 5 80
O'Clock this evening David Porter, well
known wholesale liquor merchant. fell
from the seventh story of the Mills
building, 10-story structure at the cor
ner of Bush and Montgomery streets,
which was completed few months ago,
and was instantly killed. Porter was
leaning against railing which runs
around the interior court on the seventh
floor, and either became dizzy or lost his
balance, for he toppled over the railing
and fell. He struck the corner
of the stairway on the second floor, and
his body then rebounded to the steps
and rolled to the stone pavement on the
first floor. He was picked up in dying
condition and expired few minutes
later. His skull was fractured and his
right leg and all his ribs on his righ
side were broken. Porter was native
of Scotland, about 80 years of age. He
was pioneer of this state, and accumu-
lated fortune, but failed in business
some years ago. His only daughter
married Campobello, the singer, about
two years ago.
