Sne asked her guets to excuse her, leaving Mrs. McKee to the honors. From that day Mrs. Harr.sm never was a well woman. Sne rallied in May somewhat, and then was taken that unfortunate trip down the Chesapeake bay on the government steamer which was caught in a northeast storm and Mrs.

Harrison sutlered severely. From that on her disease seemed to progress rapidiy. When she was brought back from Fortress Monroe the true character of her disease became apparent to her physicians and her intimate friends, though it was carefully concealed from the public, and she was ordered to Loon lake in the hope that the revieins: lailuonce of the piue laden air matht arrest the progress of the. pulmonary troubles which the wrecking cough, night sweats, and wasting strength only too plainly indicated. It is too recent to need recapitulation how these hopes proved delusive, aad at her own request the was carried back to her cheer-tul rooms at the White house, there it eeems to die.

A 11 p. ni. it was stated at the White house that there was no change in the conditi of Mrs. Harrison.

IN AN EXHAUSTIVE ARTICLE Democratic Leaieis Still Quote Jcifetaon When They Have Denied His Principle Driven Like Sheep.

New Yobk, Oct. 23. Mr. lilaine. Ion; promised utterance in the presidential election of 'J2, appears in the November number of the North Amer-lcau new which is tj be published tomorrow (Mondav).

It occupies thirteen pages in the Review. Mr. Blaine notes the lack of excitement attending the presidential election, contrasting it with the turmoil of interest that characterized the cam-paigQ of the elder Harrison. This change of the public interest in such contests, he suggests, may be accounted for by the growth in population, and the consequent absorption in vast commercial operations; and it may be possible indicate a subsidence in the future of extreme partisanship. Mr.

Blaine gives special attention to the letters of the presidential candidates. Ot President Harrison's letter he says, among other things that: "Perhaps none of his predecessors has made so exhaustive, and more clear presentation of the involved." Cleveland's letter is subjected to searching criticism. Mr. Blaine finds that in a greater measure than Mr. Harrison's, it departs from the platform of his party.

Cleveland Makea th Platforin. In fact that Mr. Cleveland has made the platform upon which he is now be-forethe people, and that Mr. Cleveland's departures from the positions of nis party's platform on the question of free trade confirms the impression w.ach has been general, that a large proportion of the democratic party believes in protection in some form. Mr.

Blaine makes caustic comment upou Mr. Cleveland's utterances on the currency and state banks. He upholds the republican policy of granting liberal pensions to the veterans of the war. On this point he says: "The amount we contribute toward pensions is larger than the amount paid by any of the European nations for a standing army. Surclv the binding up of the wounds of a past war is more mer-citul and honorable work than is preparing the country for a new one." The mo9t remarkable thing in the presidential canvass of 1S92 Mr.

Blame regards as the manner in which in some sections of the country all other issues have been put out of sight and the Force bill alone brought into prominence. He compliments Mr. Dana of the New York Sun, the author of this policy, upon hs zeal and ability iu achieving this result. The representations made as to the purpose and the ettect of the Force bill, however, he declares to be inconsistent with the spirit of President Harrison's letter. en -fita of Itel proci ty Mr.

Blaine is full and explicit in his treatment of the subject reciprocity, claiming that a material increase has been caused in United States trade by reciprocal treaties with the islands and countries of America, anil particularly by the treaties made with European countries, Mr. Blaine quotes interesting figures in relation to the incease of trade witn the Leeward and Windward iflands and Cuba, and he predicts relation to Cuba "that we shall conquer by commerce lar better than by torce of armies, and cordially establih such mutual interests between Cuba and this country that commercially the two countries will be one." Mr. Blaine, dealing with tho claim of the democratic party to the Jetler-sonian party, says: "It would surprise Jeilerron, if he could once more ap-pear in the. He.sti, to learn that he is held as in Joiser of all the principles and nieasurea advocated by the democratic psrty today. It is perhaps not worth while to enter into any elalmrate argument ou the subject, but the democracy owes no little of its success to trie pers stency with which ltn adherents have made their disciples believe this preterit.

CHURCH AND STATE. The American Secular Greatly Alarmed At the Outlook for the Future. Cnicxoo, Oct. 23. The sixteenth annual congress of the American Secular I'nion was called to order thia morning in Berry's hall.

A largo number of delegates were prestait. After the meeting was called to ordar by the president, C. H. Waite, mado an opening address. He ttated the objects of the union a forcible manner and talked at some length of the alarming uniou of church and 6tate as disclosed by the recent action of congress in closing the world's fair on Sunday.

Continuing, Mr. Wane said: "Today we are an astonished people. Knowing that our government was founded upon principles of religious and civil liberty, we rested quietly under the clamor for rcl.gious legislation, not believing for a moment that congress would yield to euch demands. Now we awake from our lethargy to find a union of church and state already inaugurated and alliances of tne government lully committed to tho requirements of a religious hierarachy. The character ot this? religo-political despotism, which le to take the place of our free institutions, has not yet been fully developed; the particulars are not all arranged.

It has not yet been determined which of the two grand divisions of the church shall in the first instance represent the christian relgion; much less have the eubseejaent struggles for precedence in the favored party itself been anticipated and provided lor. "What makes the situation more sorious and alarming is the fact that the supreme court of the United States on February, last, in the case of Trinity church of New York vs. the United States, by andher decision, laid the foundation for religious legislation by deciding in elttct that the christian religion is a national institution. As Chief Justice Taney, went into a history the country to show that it had been considered that colored people had no rights which white people were tound to respect, so Mr. Justice Brewer reviewed the history of the country for the purpose of showing that the propagation of the Christian rel gion was the principal factor in the settlement ot the colonies and in the establishment of the state and federal governments, and iiad become so interwoven with our national institutions as to become part and parcel thereof.

Though Justice Brewer is uot so bold in his utterances as was Judge Taney, yet the logical outcome of the decision is that disbelievers are bound to respect. Mrs. Hattie A. Freeman, the secretary, read a report for the last year's work, showing an encouraging state of atiairs. At the afternoon session John F.

Geeting, this city, delivered an address on "The Field of Free Thought." He reviewed the history of the secular society from us incipiency to the present time, and showed tiow it had steadily advanced spit' of opposition and discouragements. Mr. Geeting made a plea against the use of the Initio or of any form af religious worship the public schools. He said: "By the use of the bible and forms of relarious rship in the public schools children ae taught how to think but not what to think." Thomas P. Walkman, of New York city, talked on "The Sunday (Question." He wanted an open Sunday.

At tho conclusion of Mr. Walkmau's remarks Horace C. Be unett took the stand and talked cf "The Bespoudnhty of the American Se cular I on." Increase in Exports. Br.Ri.iv, Oct. 23.

A new disease, coutagious and fatal, has reached this port, causing much alarm among the health authorities at quarantine. The disease is imported from Japan, where it is known as beri-beri. The bark H. P. Cann arrived oil' quarantine yesterday, 170 days out from lloilo, and reported that two deaths from the disease had occurred enroute.

When the ship arrived at Norfolk, the hiet mate and seven men, who were stricken with beri-beri, were put ashore and tent to the hospital. The dieease is unknown here. The authorities are at a loss how to handle it should other ships follow with the disease on lioard. The Cann is laden with sugsr and tea, and makes the third vessel which has reached this port in the past four weeks on which death from this disease has been reported. The disease is said to restmble typhus fever somewhat, but called more fatal.

Stringent meaures will be adopted to cope with the dieease from other vessels arriving from the fever-stricken Japan ports. 5HOKT AND BITTER. Robber Perry Has a Tough Time Trying to Escapo from Aubnrn. AiT.i RN', N. Oct.

13. It was a brief period of liberty which Oliver Curtis Perry enjoyed last night after his escape from his cell. He was captured iuside the prison walls at 2 o'clock this morning, and the only result of his desperate attempt to escape was to make Ins condition more miserable. After escaping from the wing in which his cell was located Perry boldly crossed the prison yard and hid in the basement the broom shop, where convict Johnson was murdered by a fellow prisoner only a few weeks ago. When the night had advanced for tiie darkness to shield his movements Perry tried to gam access to the broom shop.

It was closely guarded, however, and he next proceeded to the marble shop. Here again ne was frustrated in his attempt to gain admittance, as the guards were on the alert and his efforts attracted their attention. Perry started to run as soon as he found thathis presence had been discovered. He went directly to tho collar shop, where a large number of knives are kept, tho fugitive's one idea seeming to bo to secure a weapon of some kind. As he neared the coilar shop he was seen by Keeper Tunis, who stood in the shadow of the building.

When within ten feet of the guard Perry was challenged and ordered to halt. He did not obey and the guard fired a shot from his rille over the convict's head. This had no effect upon Perry, othir than to change the course in which Iu' wn running and to increase his speed. His change of direction was latal, however, as it caused him pass Within resch of Keeper Smitti, who, without waiting to challenged the llee-ing man, struek him over tho head with his heavy nightstick, to powerful was the blow that tho cane was broken and Perry was stretched unconscious at the keeper's feet, the blood Uowiiig freely from a deep wound. Perry was at once taken to th dungeon, where he will confined for some time to come without even tho comfort of a board to rest upon.

It is said that after his capture Perry told Warden Durston that it was not liberty be sought, but an opportunity to stick a knife into him. He lias conceived a ep hatred lor the w.irden during his lng confinement in the screen ce l. The instrument with which Perry ued to dig through the wall of his cell was the iron leg of h.s ttedstead, which he had managed to loosen fiom its fastening. Alter the wiley little desperado had been safely kicked in a dungeon the extra guards were relieved. Warden Durston assembled the men in the keeper's hall and in an address warned ttiem not to eliscuss the matter of Perry's escape and capture in public.

Despite the precautions, however, the particulars have' been given. Humor is in circulation that Perrv was vry seriously hurt by Keeper smith's blow and that death trsy result. The rumor of course cannot he confirmed. POWDER MILLS BLOWN UP. Scared the Town and Broke WmJows, P.ut Nor.e K.li?d.
