CONDITION OF COLONEL ABBOT,

There is a proposition on foot to aid
the Rhode Island soldiers scattered
throughout the several hospitals by
begging the Rhode Island Sanitary ana
Relief association to forward whatever
funds II can spare to the hospitals
wherever members of the First Rhode
Island Regiment are being cared for, In
order that the men may receive certain
delicacies of which they stand In great
need. 1t is believed that the plan will
receive very favorable consideration
Ensign Charles f. Lawton, u. $. NJ,
has returned home to Newport TO await
discharge. This now leaves only En-
signs Talbot and Bliss OF the Rhode
Island forces TO be sent home, and, as
their vessel has been placed out of COM
mission. they should return soon. There
is nothing further I'm relation to the
condition of Col. Abbot today, which
leads to the belief that he is certainly
no worse than he was.

No Change at Camp Meade.

There does not seem to be any change
in the situation at Camp Meade, and
just at present the men OF the First
Rhode Island are kept hard at work
on the parade ground, for there is moth
ing else for them to do. The demand
for furloughs is very large and is not
confined TO the enlisted men, by any
means. Capt. Pearce of Company Z
and Capt. Waterman OF Company ~,
both recently appointed as command
ing officers of these companies. left for
home yesterday morning on seven-day
furloughs. Second Lieut.. Turney or
Company G. also left on 30 days SICK
furlough. Lieut.. Sphinx of Company u
and Lieut.. Williams OF Company re-
turned yesterday afternoon after fur
Tough which was passed in Providence.
On Thursday. by order OF the secre-
tary OF war, Xavier Primeau, a drum
mer In the band. and Private John F.
Oates OF Company III were given their
discharges. and there are at present
several other applications for dis
charges pending. but nothing has yet
been heard concerning them. There
was no report from the division hos
pitai yesterday showing that any
Rhode Island man was removed from
the division hospital to any other IN
stitution, and the presumption Is tha'
there were none.

effect that there were 400 men or the

Fort Adams is denied at the fort, and
1t Is stated that only $50 men are abb
sent without leave, and many OF these
are expected to return today. In the
meantime the regiment is making every
preparation to remain I'm the service.
The men are drawing their winter sup
plies. Since pay day there are nightly
rows between the police and soldiers,
and some of the men have said the
police station would be mobbed before
the regiment left the fort, but this is
accepted with a big grain of salt. and
no serious trouble Is looked for either
by the military or city authorities.

There was a vacant chair at the
meeting Of the Union Republican First
District Committee last evening at
Disruption Hall, Fifth and Shipley
streets. 1t was that of Chairman Ste
phen DOwney. In his absence Vice
Chairman Charles SOlloway presided. A
committee was appointed to call on
Chairman Downey and ascertain
whether he proposed to stay with the
Regular Republicans or go back to the

answer will be that he will in future
cast his fortunes with the Higgins men.
In such an eventuality ex-Postmaster

A SINGULAR COINCIDENCE.

The British bark Kinrosshire, from
London, which belongs to the same
owners as does the British bark Gro
martyshire that was in collision with
the French Company's steamer La
Bourgogne off Sable Island on the attn
instant, passed up from the Delaware
capes yesterday afternoon. A peculiar
coincidence is that the Kinrosshire on
the same day that the terrible accident
occurred was spoken of Sable Island.
Both ships hail from Glasgow, and

BISHOP DUDLEY A SECRETARY.
Choice of Missionary Society Causes
Much Discussion.
(New York Times, Sth.)


The Right Rev. Thomas Underwood
Dudley. Bishop Of Kentucky, was elected
yesterday afternoon to the general secre-
taryship OF the Domestic and Foreign
Missionary Society of the Protestant Epis-
copal Church of tine United States OF
America, at 4 meeting OF the. Board OF
Managers Of the society. held at the
Church Mission House, Fourth avenue
and east Twcnty-secOnd street. The office
was made vacant by the death, i'm July
last. Of the Rev. William $. Langford.
who for twelve years had been its incum-
bent. Bishop Dudley was nominated at
the January meeting Of the board.
In electing a bishop as general secre-
tary Of the Missionary Society, the man.
ayers of that organization have set at
naught one of the traditions of the
Church. Never. so far as is recalled in
the history of the Episcopal Church. has
one of the members of the Epscopate ac-
cepted an office OF that character. There
is much speculation among both clergy
and laity as TO what the House OF Bishops
will do i'm the matter at the general con-
vention Of the Episcopal Church next Oc-
tober. In the past the House of Bishops
has so jealousy guarded its dignity that
It has never permitted even one Of its
own members TO become its secretary,
that work having always been delegated
10 a member Of the priesthood.

THE PENITENTIARY BILL.

The Senate yesterday, after cutting
down from $4,000 to 10000 the appro-
nrlation therein specified, ordered TO its
engrossment the bill providing for the
building OF more cell-room at the state
penitentiafy. The decisive vote on the
| engrossment of the bill, together with the
spirit manifested in the discussion OF the
measure. leaves no doubt that the mat
ter is settled so far as the upper branch
Of the General Assembly is concerned.
II is to be regretted that the Senate saw
fit TO amend the bill by reducing one-third
the amount asked for by the penitentiary
directorate, but none the less it has al
forded cause for sincere congratulation.
The condition of affairs at the peniten-
tiary is and has been for years, in some
respects. simply revolving. That condi-
ton has resulted from causes which were
entirely beyond the control of the direc-
tors and officers of the institution, but
which they have strenuousy and jealous
" labored to have remedied. Owing 10
the lack of cell-room it has been and is
gether at night as closely as cattle are
crowded into a cattle-car. Worse than
that no cattle-car is as poorly ventilated
as the average cell at the penitentiary
when the latter has its present quota OF
inmates. what with these evils and
others consequent thereon, and which
must be apparent to all who have given
the subject a moments thought, the won
der is that the pententiary has not long
ago become a pest-house.
The money it is proposed to use in add
ng more cell-room TO the penitentiary
will not be a direct appropriation out OF
he Treasury, but will come out of the |
future profits Of the prison, made in hiring |
.onvicts to those conducting shops within |
is walls. In its action yesterday the |
senate answered a cry in behalf Of hu-
nanity, and we cannot but believe that !
he House will do likewise when the bill
hail have been taken up in the lower
ody.

Minister to the United States, this eve
ming received an official cablegram from
the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Guate-
mala, announcing the assassination Of
President Barrios, and the succession to
the presidency of st-Vice-Presidcnt
Manuel Estrada Cabrera. No details
whatever were given.
The new President, Mr.. Cabrera, is

The system of the country is different
from that of the United States, there

General ID. Jose Ma Reyna Barrios,
President Of the Republic Of Guatemala.
was born in san Marcos, in 1859 He was
a nephew of the former President. Justo
The General was educated abroad, and
after his collegiate course made trip
around the world. In his ideas he was
always a Liberal.
In the ensuing war Of federation, the
purpose of which was the unification of
the Central American States, the General
was placed in command of division of
the Liberal troops. During the war of
1885. when his uncle. the President, was
killed, the General succeeded him as com
mander of the forces. Later on, when
President Barrillas was in control, he
banished the young general from Guate-
mala. and he went directly to California,
and resided in San Francisco for about
year.
Nine years ago, General Barrios was
Consul at Hamburg, Germany. In 1892, he |
succeeded Barrillas as President his |
term of office (six years. expiring in
March of this year.
Last June he publicly declared himself |
dictator Of Guatemala. His partisans

country prospered, and developed extern
