SHERMAN SERIOUSLY ILL
DISTINGUISHED STATESMAN SUF-
FERs FROM GENERAL COLLAPSE.

WASHINGTON, Oct 17-Former Cabi-
net Officer and Senator John Sherman
is dangerously Ill at his residence on K
street in this city. The attack has taken
the form of a general collapse in part
due to the general debility incidental. to
old age and to the efforts of the serious
illness which he suffered while on q trip
to the West Indies two years ago Te
never had fully recovered from that III
ness. Mrs. Shermans death during the
summer at the old homesteady, Mansfield.
o., where the family was staying during
the summer, also had its effect on the
venerable statesman who deeply nlourned
his loss. Mr.. Sherman returned to
Washington several weeks ago from
Mansfield and since that time has been
living in the family residence here. He
was then in feeble health, but was able
to take daily drives about the city. For
the past week, however, he has been
gradually growing weaker and yesterday
and today his condition grew worse and
relatives III various parts of the country
were notified of the change Some of
them are expected to come up to the
city. There is said to be no very imme-
dfate danger of death and it is possible
he may yet rally, if no further unfavor-
able symptoms occur. The ex-secretar.
is in his scventy-eighth year and has
been a hard worker all his life.

WILHELM WANTS NN MAN /
THE GERMAN IMPERIAL
CHANCELLOR
SUCCESSOR NOT YET KNOWN
All Signs Point to the Nomination
of Count Won RueIOvv, the KOI-
nische Zeitung Stating
1t as u Fact.

BERLIN, Oct 1.-THE Kolnische Zei-
tung asserts that Prince Hohenlohe has
rendered his resignation as imperial chan
cellor, and that it has been accepted. Ac-
cording to the same authority, Emperor
William has designated as the retiring
chancellor's successor Count Won Bue.ow,
minister of foreign affairs Although ru-
mors had been current for several days
that Prince Hohenlohe intended to retire
little credence was given to any Of them.
since such reports had returned periodi-
caliy for several years past. The fact is
that neither the foreign Office nor any
other government department in Berlin
knew until this evening of Prince Hohen-
lohe's retirement, nor of Emperor Will
liam's approval of 1t.
The reasons which induced the prince
to insist upon retiring were in the main,
his rapidly growing inflrmities and his
distinct disapproval of the emperor's poll
cy in China. To his intimates Prince
HoheElohe, during the last three months,
has repeatedly expressed strong criti-
cisms upon what he has called ''th0
kaser's sentimental and impulsive inter-
ference in the troubles in China
Since Chinese matters assumed a
threatening aspect in June, Prince Ho-
henlohe has virtually abandoned the du-
ties and prerogatives with which the con-
stitution clothes the chancellor, he ho,d-
ing more conservative and dispassionate
ideas regarding the Chinese outrages than
the emperor.
WAS A FIGUREHEAD.
Nearly all summer Prince Hohenlohe
was away on his Russian and Austrian
estates, leaving the emperor and Count
Won Buelow to conduct the policy of the
empire to suit themselves. This figure
headism of course could not long endure,
Of late the chancellor has displayed con-
siderable physical weakness. HIS re.a-
tives and friends have long urged him to
retire from official life and pass the re-
mainder of his days in quietude
The parting from the emperor was cor
dial At supper last evening, at HON.
burg, the emperor. after toasting the
prince, thanked him warmly for the serv-
ices he had rendered, and kissed him on
both cheeks.
The Kolnisehe Zeitung asserts that
Count Won Buelow has also been appoint
ed Prussan minister, president and for
eign minister.
Nothing is known positively about
Prince Hehenlohe's successor, although

tions of the Kolnische Zeitung respecting

reports to the war office of the occupa-

the Russians met with strong opposition
at Schacho, where the Chinese, with
thirty battalions, twenty field guns, and
Krupps and Maxims, occupied the rail-

fighting continued from o'clock in the
morning until in the afternoon. The
Chinese cavalry enveloped the Russian
right flank and endeavored to take it in
the rear. The were repulsed, but retbfrn-
ed repeatedly to the attack. Finally af-
ter artillery preparations, the whole
Russian column was thrown against the
Chinese, who, by evening, were in. full
retreat This result was only reached
when Gen. Fleischer's column, which
had been resting from the fatigue of a
long march, was called into action. Next
day the Chinese made a less stubborn
stand in a strong position on the noun
tain chain in front of Lao Jau. The
position was capteured at noon, but the
Russians were urable to pursue the Chi
nese, owing to extreme fatigue, and the
difficult nature of the country. Another
Russian column met with strong resist
tance and only arrived at Lao Jau at 5
in the afternoon. The Russians in the
course of the two days operations lost
fifty killed and wounded. They captured
