/. The foregoing was the only direct mem
ton of the method by which Senator
Carmack met death. Representative

who followed Col. Loudoun as a sp aaker
said he agreed with him. but suggested
that it would be best not 10 dwell upon

CHINK'S EMPEROR VERY Ill
RUMORS CIRCULATED IN PEK-
ING OF HIS DEATH.
Suffering from Diabetes and Sciat-
lea, He Refuses Western Medi-
cal Attendance.

PEKING, November FIT is the con-
sensus of opinion in Peking that the En-
peror of China is very sick, and today he
is reported as still sinking. He will not
accept western medical attendance.
The condition of the emperor is SO seri-
Gus that the various legations here are
sending cabled reports thereon TO their
respective governments.
There have been circumstantial rumors
among the people of the death Of the en-
peror and his little brother, the infant
son of Prince Chun, has been brought into
the palace.
The emperor has been suffering for ten
years past from chronic nephritis, con-
dition now complicated with diabetes and
sciatica. 1t is admitted that his brain
is affected.
The legations stand ready to lend their
physicians to attend his majesty, but in
August of this year the dowager empress
declined offers to this end made by the
British and German legations, and con-
sequently no further proffers have been
made.
Although the government has gazetted
during the past few days audiences be-
tween the emperor and members of lne
grand council, there is reason to believe
that these have been in name only There
probably has been no actual audience
since November s. 1t is known that yes
terday an absolutely untrue statement of
an audience was made public.

The formal meeting had not been long

to the meeting. but the sound OF applause
fioated from the room as Mr. Powers en-
tered. He told the assemblage that he
could not remain in Chicago for further

D. NJ. Shiveley of Kansas City was ap-
pointed president pro TEN. of the Ma

President OBrien of the American Asso-
citation also admitted in the hotel lobby
that he would leave this city at ) o'clock
this afternoon.
It is stated that the regulars informed
the "bolters'' that they would receive
committee from the secession ranks
but this had no clarifying effect on the
situation. as the absentees felt that if
there were any committees to be appoint
