MIR. HARRlSON'S CONDITION.
Ex.President Displays symptoms Of the
Grip-POsitive Orders That He Shall Be
Kept Quiet Have Been Issued.

indianapolis, March 1O.-General
Harrison's condition was somewhat
improved today, though he suffered
considerably from pains in the chest
and head. He was stronger, but the
gain was slight, being regarded by the
lower fever. which is one Of the grip
symptoms. During the day he suf-
fered from pleuritis pains which &C.
CURED at short intervals. There has
been little relief from his cold and the
grip symptoms have been almost as
pronounced as on yesterday, being at
tended by susceptibility to chilly SEN
sations whenever changing his position
in bed. His cough troubled him today,
and despite the remedies given, 1t has
been impossible to make any marked
change in it's violence. The attending
physician does not think that the left
lung is as much cOngested as it was
yesterday. AS usual with the grip, his
head was affected quite seriously. But
the pain was less severe today, a re-
suit of partial relief from congestion Of
the left lung.
DR.. jameson made several visits to
the patient today, and, while giving
out reports that are more favorable
than those of yesterday, it is quite evil
dent from his manner that he regards
it as necessary to give the ex-president
the closest attention. He has pro-
hibited all study, and does not even
allow him to indulge in the lightest
reading, such exercise increasing the
pain in his head and making him very
| restless. Mrs. Mckee reached his bed
side at late hour last night and has
been constantly with him today.
Friends are not admitted to his room
and positive orders have been issued to
keep him quiet, and free from all in
trusion. DR.. Jameson said after visit
ing him this evening that If he con-
tinues to improve he might be able to
leave his room in few days, possibly
within a week, but care must be exer-
cised to prevent lapse, and especially
to prevent additional cold. Mr.. Harri-
son sat up for few moments this af-
/ ternOon

HARRY HAYWARD'S STORY
The Condemned Murderer Consents
to an Interview.
IS PREPARED FOR TnB WORST
Thinks Fully Eight of iIiS Ten Chances
for Living Arc Gone-IIas Taken
Things PhilosOphically - Blixt
Has the Nerve.

Minneapolis, March 1O.-The Hay
ward trial is still occupying public at
tention to a very large extent. The
chances of an order for a new trial from
the Supreme court are being discussed
and there is a very general opinion
that the verdict will stand. Yesterday
Harry Hayward consented to be inter-
viewed, talking freely concerning the
verdict and other matters connected
with his case. Asked IL the verdict
was as he had expected, he said:
well, yes, think had about made
up my mind the jury would render
such verdict. After listening to all
the evidence that was brought against
me l hardly saw how the jury could do
otherwise. But in spite of my being
found guilty, l am innocent" he said,
with more warmth than he has yet
shown, though suppose the public at
large will never believe it."
Have you given up all hope?"
well, yes, just about, and yet not
entirely. You see l look upon this
matter just as gambler would. Be-
fore the jury brought in itS verdict /
considered / had just about ten chances
of winning but now / consider fully
eight of them are gone. l don't thinl.
there is much of a show for me now.
My only hopes are that the conscience of
some Of those in this conspiracy will go
back on them and cause them to tell
the truth finally, and the only man from
whom 1 expect anything is Blixt, I
don't know though" musingly, He's
got a terrible nerve, you might bring
all the preachers in the world in front

at you"
You are prepared for the worst then,
are you, Harry?"
Yes" with a smile, II am. They
talk about my having so much nerve
in this case. I don't consider that
have used very much nerve. / have

TO ROAST DR.. PARKHURST
Indications That New York Presbytery
Is Fanning Goals of Criticism.
IT'S ANOTHER DIX. BRIGGS CASE
The Social Reformer's Iusinuations That
the Influence OF Tammnny Extended
to and Into the Presbyterian
Church May Cause Trouble.

New York, March 10-Dr. Charles II.
Parkhurst is to be the subject of spe-
cial attention at tomorrow'S session OF
the New York presbytery and in man
ner that may lead to proceedings as
complicated and prolonged as those
that originated exactly four years ago
in the name of Charles A Briggs,
Plans are now forming to give DR.,
Parkhurst a scorching over the Goals of
criticism respecting his conduct toward
brethren in the ministry. II these
plans are followed out, as they give
promise of being, there is likely to be as
great public interest In the proceedings
of the Presbyterian church for the next
few years as was created by DR.. Park
hurst's friend and sympathizer, DR..
Briggs.
Trouble has been preparing for DR..
Parkhurst ever since his structures ut
tered in the pulpit and published in the
New York Tribune upon the financial
integrity and business honor of the
New York presbytery In relation to the
safes of the abandoned church of Sea
and Land.
The particular remark of DR. Park
hurst on this subject, at which UNI
bragg was taken by the New York min
'isters, is thus quoted: You know that
have been censured by my brethren of
the New York presbytery, but l tell
you that l am prepared to fight Tam
many wherever l find it''-meaning
that the ubiquitous influence of Tam
many hall has asserted itself against
him to such an extent as to cause the
New York presbytery to violate its
solemn engagements in order to sub
vert the influence of DR.. Parkhurst and
his church in Madison square. DR..
Parkhurst may have an opportunity TO
explain this and other like remarks on
the same subjects tomorrow afternoon
in speaking to resolutions which will
probably be offered when the presby-
terry assemblies in the lecture room of
the First Presbyterian church.
Public Interest in the Case.
Public interest in the proposed action
is increased by reason of the near
approach of the Presbyterian general
assembly which meets at Pittsburg
next May. By reason of DR.. Park
hurst's singular fame as leader in
New York City's social and political re-
form movement, has arisen in the west
a desire to make him moderator Of the
body. The recent vote of approval of
his extraordinary course in New York
Presbytery is regarded as a first step
in that direction.
1t is believed that DR.. Parkhurst' S
nomination would awaken an enthus-
iasm at Pittsburg that would beat
down the old barriers OF Briggs and
Anti-Briggs, which have stood for three
successive general assemblies and cause
his unanimous election as moderator
What effect the action of tomorrow will
have on these plans would seem to de-
pend upon the ADDITION and projection of
the resolutions of censure which are
to be offered in his name.

KEEPING HIS SECRET.
A Quebec la cksmith Claims to Have a
Process for Tcrnpcring Aiuninum-His
Interests Carefully Guarded by the
Catholic Church


Quebec March 10.-Concerning the
report that +. Allard, the Lewis black
smith, who re-dlscovered, three years
ago, the lost Egyptian art of hardening
copper, has discovered a process of tenn
pering aluminium so as to give 1t thc
hardness of iron, it may be said that
there is no doubt that Allard is in pos
session Of the process for hardening
soft metals, and If 1t can be success
fully applied on a large scale at not
too great a cost its value to the me
chanical world is beyond estimate. AL
lard is very difficult man to deal with.
His process is secret, and is likely to
remain one unless some one can be
found venturesome enough to count
out million or so of dollars In hard
cash before receiving the secret.
Allard Is now an old man, and as 1t
Is doubtful whether he has made any
one a repository of his secret 1t may
yet Dire with him, for he appears OBJ
stinately determined upon his terms
as he showed in dealing with those who
were anxious to secure his copper pro-
cess interviewing him is out OF the
question. He Is devout Catholic, and
the ecclesiastical authorities are care
fully guarding his interests.
