he arrived, Sir Robert called him aside

Mr.. Wood told him 20 The great min
lister broke down utterly, crying out
with burst Of tears:

The duke, however, recovered despite
the predictions Of his doctors, and sur
vived Peel.
The same gentleman-Mr. Wood-by
. curious coincidence was present when
Peel was thrown from his horse and re-
ceived the injuries which resulted in his
death. He hastened to his assistance,
procured . carriage and accompanied
him home, remaining for some time in
the house to render the family what
services he might in their time Of con-
fusion and distress He was yet there
when the Duke Of Wellington arrived
to make inquiries, and was deputed by
Lady Peel to receive him. He hastened
to the door and found the duke ON the
step about to enter the house, and in.

ITALY,s HUMILIATION.

The Abyssinian campaign has ended II
the humiliation OF Italy. and the ltahan
dream Of great colonial expansion has
been dlspelled. FOR the present. at least
The prisoners taken by the Abyssinians
i'm the recent operations In the province
OF Tigre have been released, and the IN
vaders have disarmed and abandoned
Adlgrat. and retired behind the frontier
OF Erythrea. Thus has ended a venture
that caused the sacrifice Of thousands OF
lives. and the expenditure Of millions Of
money.
Nor Is the mere military fasco repre-
scented In this termination Of the cam
Daign the full measure OF Italy's humilia-
ton. The failure Of Italy to re-establsh
her prestige in Africa cannot but result
IN Weakening her influence in the Triple
Alliance. II is true that that compact
has been extended, but henceforth Italy
Will be in II entirely for her own protec-
ton, and In no sense as an equal partner
She will be absolutely subject TO the
dlctation Of the other two parties 10 the
agreement. Moreover. IL is altogether
probable that the conclusion Of peace
with dishonor'' in Abyssinia will eventuate
in a serious governmental crisis at home
Already there are indications that the
sudden ending OF the campaign will be
used to consolidate all the elements OPP
posed to the government.
In the mean time, however, the ques-
ton is being asked, What effect will the
abandonment Of the Italian campaign in
Abyssinia have upon the British campaign
up the Nile? When the latter was I'M
dertaken, 1t was, as we know. given out
that one Of its main objects was to create
a diversion in favor of the hard-pressed
Italians. As Italy had for years been
guarding for Great Britain the Masso-
wah approach to the Soudan, the above
statement was both plausible and rea-
sonable. But, aside from that, the condi-
tons generally were favorable TO Great
Britain's taking the preliminary steps to-
wards the contamination of her long
cherished design OF reconquering the do
main Of the Rhalifa 1t is hardly to be
expected, therefore. that the humiliation
of Italy will make any material change
in the plans OF the British expedition,
especially as the Italians will still hold
Erythrea until such time as John Bull
may find It necessary to utilize that ter
rltory also as basis Of operations against
the Mahdsts.

SILVER GAINING GROUND.
The White-Metal Democrats seem
Likely to Control Mt Chicago.
NYashIngton Po.t. -

The impression is now gaining ground
with more persistency than ever that the
free-silver Democrats VIII control the
convention at Chicago.
This possible outcome. TO which at
tention was first called by the Post. IS
regarded as more than probable. because
Of the reports which are reaching Wash
irgton from the Western States. Iowa.
Illinois, and even ohio. which were all
either claimed by the gold Democrats or
placed In the doubtful column. have gone
10 the silver side Of the calculation. In
Illinois, the machinery Of Cook county
in which Chicago is situated, Is In the
hands OF the free-silver men, and II Is
said that Chicago will declare for silver,
despite the attempt at organization which
the gold men have just inaugurated. In
Ohio the first congressional district con-
vention to be held has declared for free
silver. and II is said that advices received
by Senator Brice indicate that this is but
the fOrerunner Of the action OF many
similar conventions In the state. Senator
Brice is reported TO be considerably dis
couraged over the outlook. lie went into
the fight as IS well known, in the belief
that he could take a practically solid
anti-silyer delegation 10 Chicago, but IL
is now said 10 be doubtful whether he
win even be a delegate.
In view Of the possible control by the
silver men at Chicago there has been
some revival OF the talk that Senator
Teller may be the nominee Of the Demo
cratic party on n silver platform. it can
be stated however, that there Is no posi-
bility OF this outcome. Senator Teller
has told his friends that no matter
whether he leaves the Republican party
or not he does not propose 10 become
n Democrat and he has not seriously
considered the idea that he Will be Sc
lected by the Democrats TO head the
ticket.
II the Democrats at Chicago declare TOT
the free coinage OF silver, 1t is the gene
raj impression that the proposed Popuhst
convention at ST. Louis on July "a VIII
be abandoned. 1t is possible that few
Populists and others OF their class may
gather and nominate some one for the
presidency; but the occasion VIII be roo-
he'd Of all its significance and force.
should the Democrats declare Tor gold'
then the gathering at st. Louis VIII De
OF Importance.

The LeesburG Mirror has the following
in commenting on the report that the
businessmen in certain parts of the State
have threatened not to attend the pri-
maries of the Democratic party for fear
that by so doing they will be bound 10
support nominee of the party whose
views they do not endorse:
1.-THE financial question. there is no
doubt. is the main one before the Ameri-
can people at present, and it is one OF
vast Importance. still, great as II is, II
As by no means the only issue or princi-
pie involved in Democracy
Undoubtedly the financial question is
the main one before the country at large,
but il is not the most important question
involved in the campaign so far as the
people of the South and Virginia are con-
cerned. The maintenance Of the integrity
of the Democratic party is the supreme
issue with the people OF this section and
state. That is the central and paramount
idea that should be kept in view by every
true southern Democrat. no matter what
NAV be his opinion on the currency ques-
ton. The Democratic party has been the
salvation Of the South since the war.
That fact leaves no room ior any Demo-
crat to entertain a doubt as to its being
his duty to stand by the action of the
Chicago Convention, no matter what II
may be.

President Gilman.
Baltimore Herald.J

The news that the name Of President
ID. G. Gilman, Of the Johns Hopkins Uni
versity, is being seriously considered for
superintendent Of public schools in New
York will be a surprise to Baltimoreans
who were not aware that this noted in
tTuctor entertained the slightest desire 10
leave this city.
II this has been done without his con-
sent. or in the face of a refusal, IL Is a
great honor, and shows how much he is
thought of in the educational world. II
he has given assent 10 the proposition, 1t
must be because he Is dissatisfied with the
condition of the Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity, hampered as it is by lack Of funds,
and for that reason un Die 10 carry out 10
the fullest extent the designs Of its
founder, which are also the intentions OF
those intrusted with the management OF
the institution.
In organizing the university and build
ing II up so as to give it an enyiable
place among the establishments devoted 10
the higher education. President Gilman
has displayed exceptional ability.
1t Is no easy matter at the present time,
when rich men are devoting their millions
to the training of young men, and when
immense sums are available for such pur-
poses. to achieve. with comparatively lin
tied means. results which command the
attention of savants everywhere.
This President Gilman has done. The
Hopkins University is not less favorably
known in Europe than in this country.
and its services to science and TO the peo-
pie generally, by devising apparatus and
advancing knowledge. by ravellng the
hidden forces of nature and binding them
to popular use have been inestimable.
Baltimore would lose much should Pro-
fessor Gilman decide TO locate in New
York with the view Of securing for him
self larger sphere OF action.

The doctrine OF secession was advocated
in Denver Wednesday night as earnestly
as IT was in the South in 1861 No one IN
the South ever cheered secession sentl-
ments more loudly than did those who at
tended the meeting Of the Young Men s
Silver Club. and applauded the speech OF
ex-Representative Bedford, when he ad-
vocated the secession OF the States west
of the Mississippi river if silver were
not placed on an equality with god. As
reported in the New York Herald, h.
declared
IF silver IS not placed on an equality
with gold. the time may come when the
West will secede from the United states,
and the States west OF the Mississippi
river will set up a republic Of their own.
'-The time has come when the West
proposes to have something 10 say about
the affairs Of the government There u
danger now that a division may come In
this government. and the Mississippi river
may become the eastern boundary-line OF
the new western republic"
Then Mr.. Belford gave a glowing de-
scription OF the new silver republic, which,
he said. would reach from British Colum-
bia on the north TO the deep-water harbor
at Galveston on the south, and from the
Mississippi river on the east to the Golden
Gate on the west.

latter will not be permitted TO cross that

man recognizes that the negro Is entitled
