Roosevelt left the sick room only for
meals. The President and Secretary
Cortelyou were not disturbed for several
hours.
President Will Work Mt Groton.
That the President is prepared to re-
main until the result is known one way
or another is shown by the preparations
that have been made to take care of Of
ficial business. Long distance telephones
have been put in the Gardner house, and
a telephone wire and operator have also
been put in use for White House busi
ness. kilograms from everywhere have
poured into the cottage all day long.
Secretary Cortelyou was asked about
the Washington report that Prince Henry
of Germany had decided to defer his
visit to this country until later in the
year, owing to the illness of the Presi-
dents son. Mr.. Cortelyou replied to the
query:
The President has no information en-
that subject. No report Of that sort has |

notified Washington to that effect, GER |

Won Buelow.
Berlin, May Count won Buelow,
the imperial chancellor, is having end
less trouble with the tariff bill. His
recent conferences with the leaders Of
the reichstag have, failed to bring the
latter in accord with the governments
views as to the absolute necessity
Of a moderate tariff, without which
serious commercial disputes will arise
with Russia, Austria and Italy. In
the case of the two latter countries,
such disputes would affect the Iisso-
luton of the triple alliance, upon
which under trade concessions Count
G~oluchowski, the Austria-Hungarian
minister of foreign affairs, and Signor
Zanardenelli, the Italian premier,
have agreed.
In order to prove their power the
agrarians and the centrists have re-
ferred the sugar convention bill to
the tariff committee, although it is
constitutionally impossible for the
committee to make changes in a
treaty. Count Won Buelow is much
annoyed at the needless delay caused
by the centrists and the agrarians.

Loses Leg by Discharge Of Gun Barrel
Used as Poker for Fifteen Years.
Hopkinsville, KY, May 6.-Johnnie
Smith, a colored boy living on a farm
of G. H. Harrison, lost the lower part
of his leg under most remarkable
circumstances last evening. and may
die as a result of the injury. ..
The boys mother is the owner of
an ancient gun barrel which had
been used as a fire poker in the house
for over Is years, and at times the
old weapon has been made to do serv-
ice as a soldering iron for crude jobs.
Yesterday she was stirring a fire un-
der some soft soap in the yard, and
used the old gun barrel as a poker,
as she had been wont to do. She then
laid the poker across the top of the
receptacle. The flames reached the
barrel in which, unknown to her, had
remained a heavy charge of shot for
perhaps a quarter Of a century. The
weapon discharged, and young Smith,
who was standing near, received the
full load in his left leg. His condi-
ton is critical.
