He had a wakeful night. Ills pulse was not lower than 68, and ran up to 80. Ills life has been prolonged by dosing him with drugs. Now these have begun to lose their effect, and as a net-rat consequence he is beginning to fail. The doctors begin to realize what they have done.

They don't communicate his actual condition. They retain many incidents that would put a di fferent light on the situation. The builetins failed to state the condition of the Generates mind this morning. Gen. Grant is existing on morphine.

Sometimes people go into his room and talk to him and be never bears them. Ile looks at one who speaks to him at times with an unecnscions stare and closes his eyes without uttering a word. For hours he will sit in hie chair without saying a word. He talks to himself constantly. His talk is generally about the War, almost every battle he bas directed being referred to while be has been in a senal-deilrions state.

Be calls his staff around him just as Jr it were twenty years ago. His work on the War has probably brought these incidents to mind and keeps his thoughts upon them. In short, the General is in a bad way, and when it is said be is comfortable it IS true only in a very limited sense. THE TRUST FUND. Henry Day, one of the executors of ex-Gov.

Morgan's estate, gave this evening a statement of the position occupied by the estate relative to the Grant trust fund. "About said he, "of the fund was Invested in 'Wabash bonds. I think they are Wabash general mortgage 6 per cents. The bonds at the time were considered perfectly good, and since the date of the investment, about live years ago, the interest has neVer defaulted. Once it was delayed for thirty days in the hands of the receiver.

What the bonds are worth now I don't know. Gov. Morgan gave his guarantee for the payment of the Interest on these bonds for ten years, and further promised to redeem all trio bonds at par if the railroad company Should during that time fail to pay the interest for six mouths alter the day on which it- became due. The guarantee is perfectly legal arid binding. The only question which could possibly arise is whether.

in case of a default by the railroad. it would be possible for the estate to escape from the necessity of redeeming the bonds by furnishing the company with the money to pay the interest on these specific bonds. The estate is abundantly able to protect these bonds, being worth mullions after all debts and liabilities have beou discharged. In the settlement of the estate the executors took an order of the Surrogate that they sbould bold the residuary trust estate sutaject to this lien of the Grant fund. Even if any flaw could be found id the guarantee from a legal point of view, under no circumstances would the executors repudiate Gov.

Morgan's written promise. which he himself considered a sacred obligation. What might be done in case of a detault in interest by the railroad companywhether the attempt would be made to furnish the company with the money to pay these bonds and so escape liabinty on the princTalthe executors are not as yet called on to state, for no sum contingency has as yet occurred. If the company shall contnue to pay the interest regularly for tea years it will be morally certain that the bends are good and no anxiety need be telt in reference to them." PECULIAR CONDUCT.

NEW Yoga, April 11.It Is snowIng here at noon. SUSAN B. ANTHONY. Andrieuses Revelations of Polite ical and Social Scandals. Paris Letter to New York Tribune: The Fensation of tbe day is M.

Andrieux's revelations. which go on daily and continue to be as highly spiced as when he began to publish them in his journal. La Ile defies contradiction, and as a matter of fact nobody has tried to gainsay any of his statements. But be has been menaced with a prosecution for revealing State secrets, and in return dares the Government to do It8 worst. The State, be argues, is no longer on the footing on which it stood under bygone when a Ring or Emperor might with truth declare, "L'Etat, c'est moi." Sovereignly being now vested in the people, it is a duty to the ruler to oblige Ministers and other public servanta to live in glass houses.

Personal allegiance is a thing of the past. An official is under no moral obligation to keep the secrets of M. Jules Ferry, or any other Governmental personage. when no longer under him. In one department alonethe militaryis secrecy a duty, and even there under many limitations.

M. Anurieux was for a year and a half Prefect of Police, then Ambassador to Madrid, 18 a very accomplished jurist, and is yet Deputy for Lyons. He has the public with him, and all the more so that be bas a keen wit and a capacity for getting those who like a laugh on his side. His great crime from an official point of view is in spoiling the game of those Republicans who, when they get hold of executive power, set up to be the State, and proceed to batten and to fatten on the country. M.

AndrieUx shows bow this is done. Apart from jobbery there is a rich vein of wealth at the disposal of Ministers who have begun the financial year in office. It consists in the secret-service funds, which each department is regularly voted just as in the time of the Empire. Every Minister has a regular salary of $12,000 a year, a palace to live in, wood from the forests of the State of prime quality to burn, and a staff of menservants paid also by the State, as well as gas, wax candles to light his residence. ile is further allowed money for hospital purposes or inns do and when he receives company the State gardens and greenhouses furnish him with choice flowers, decorative plants- fruits, and vegetables.

Besides, be has a secret-servico fund. That of the Minister of the Interior comes to $100,000 a year. and that of the Minister for Foreign Affairs to $500,000. Their colleagues or Public instruction. Agriculture, and Justice are not so splendidly endowed.

But they are able to dispose of important sums, and the War and Marine Ministers are still better off. In theory M. controls tne secret-service expenditure of each Minister. Practically, not a single item is ever submitted to him. Each quarter be is shown a paper which states that the secret-service fund has been spent In conformity with his instructions, and he skims it.

Thiers looked very closely to secret-service expenditure. But as there was no Constitution In his time be could be a law unto himself. The Dukes de Broglie and Decazes told the wooden but honest MacMabon that they being responsible to the Chambers, be had only a nominal right to check their secret-service accounts. If they misspent the money it was for the Chamber to pull them up. The Gambettists, who believed they would event-pally have the upper hand, were not sorry that the "moral-order" Dukes should establish a precedent which would render office a source of wealth to themselves whenever they got the better of the Marshal.

According to M. Andrieux, the Minister Is free to buy jewels for opera dancers. to speculate in stooks, and frenerally and particularly to make ducks and drakes of his secret-service fund. He Is expected to divide what remains unspent at the end of the year among his clerks. But M.

Andrieux declares that an instance was never enown of a balance over the annual expenditure. M. de Marcere became quite wealthy at the Ministry of the interior, where be was during the Waddington Administration. He staid there more than a year. so that he could have pocketed It is notorious that he "rigged the bourse." I had this from Gatubetta.who, when be found De Marcere was outrunning the constable in the way of Stock Exchange rigging, took means to let financial scandals in which he was involved get out, so that M.

Lepere, who was honest and ready to place the secret-service fund of the Ministry of the Interior at Gambetta's disposal for party objects, might succeed De Marcere. The Gambetta Cabinet was six weeks in office. When it went ouf there was not in the way of secret-service money a centime for those who stepped into ttrair shoes. It was all mopped up. and with necessary and purely formal sanction, winch was obtained as the members of the Grand Ministry were tendering their resignations.

M. Andrieux shows that it is not necessary for any Ministry to spend secret-service funds in promoting the Government policy. With tne power to grant decorations, to distribute patronage, to give news which may enable those to whom it is communicated to force the band of fortune at the bourse, there are ample means for bribing and rewarding. The Prefect of Police has a secret-service fund of M. Andrieux does not say so.

but a study of the tiles of the Paris will show that every time the secret-service funds have been, since 1879. threatened in the Chamber there was a shaking of the red rag outside. The ex-Prefect of Police. however, gives chapter and verse to prove that La RevfAutton Sociale, the international Congress in London which Prince Krapotkine and Louise Michel attended. and the attempt to dynamite the statue of Thiess at St.

Germains were bogeys started under the first Ferry Administration by the pollee and with the privity and consent of the Prime Minister, of Gam betta. and of Constans, his friend, who was Minister of the Interior. The journal and the contrress were traps set to catch the Russian Socialist and savant, be being obnoxious to the Russian Government, between which and France Gambetta wanted to bring about an alliance the souls of which would have been iiiincelt and ignatieff and the arms Skobeleff and Campeeon. The attempt to dynamite niters' statue was undertaken to excite bourgeoisie cowardice against the advanced Republicans who were disappointed to find that the Opportunists were taking up the Bonapartist running. M.

Andrieux subsequently got up a riot at the Place de is Bastiee, in which Bochefort's son was knocked on the bead, but not seriously hurt. Cameseasse, the actual Prefect of Police, and Constans, who was Minister of the Interior under Duclerc, got up the Monceau leg Mines dynamite explosion to justify Prince Krapotkine's detention and to secure the conviction of a Socialist, Emile Gautier, whose offense was having gone to the London Congress and been on the stair of La Rerolution Nociale, which was started with funds It-ranted by the Prefect of Police and directed by a mouchard who was In telephonic commurecation with the Prefect's Cabinet. There were also dynamite explosions, it may be remembered, at Lyons. An infernal-machine went off in a where it bad been left in a box to be called for, and an empty gendarmes' bast-ticks marked for riemolition by the Government architect was blown up. At the time I remember call Congealed Canadian Vol unteersIntense Suffering from Cold and Exposure.

3 The correspondent of the Toronto Mail, under date the 7tli April, 'writes frem Eagle River: "If the sufferings of the troops In the Soudan were any worse than those of the brave boys wbo crossed the gap separating the main portion of the railway we are sincerely sorry for them. There they had burning sands, while here the sand was replaced with driving storms of snow and the temperature many degrees below zero. Probably the greatest suffering experienced by any of the troops was by Grenadiers at Calamity Camp, forty-three miles from Dog Lake. Col. Otter bad pushed ort, intending to wait for the Grenadiers there, when both corps would travel In two trains over the first section of eighty miles.

On reaching there, however, it was discovered that our engine had been disabled, and therefore only One train was available. To save time the Queen's Own were pushed on with this train leaving the baggage guard to follow with the Grenadiers. The latter, expecting a train, pushed on over forty-three miles. On reaching the end of the long march they found nothing but a smoldering camp-tire, with the thermometer 22 betow zero. There was no shelter for the weary ones, save that afforded by a snow-drift and the dead pines that stood like grim sentinels around the smoldering embers.

That night we bast of what we were to expect on our journey. But the most severe trial was last night's, In a march irons Red Rock to Nipigon, a distance of only seven miles, across the ice. Yet it took nearty live boura to do it After leaving the cars the battalion paraded in line. A could of camp-iires served to make the darkness visible. All the men were anxious to start.

and when the word was given to march It Wat4 greeted with cheers. It was impossible to march in fours, therefore an order was given for left turn, quick march. We turned obedient to the order, but the march was anything but Quick. Then into the solemn starkness of the pines and hemlock the column slowly moved. Each side being snow four feet deep, it was almost impossible to keep the track, and a misstep burled the unfortunate individual up to his neck.

Then it began raining, and tor three mortal hours there was a continuous down-pour. The'lake was reached at last, to the extreme pleasure of the corps. The mildness Of the afternoon and the rain turned the snow into slush, and every step the nice sank half a toot All attempts to preserve distance were soon abandoned by the men, who cusped hands to prevent failing. The officers struggled on, arms linked, lot the same purpose. Now and then men would drop In the ranks.

Ho had been suffering, but through the fear of being lett behind in the hospital refrained from making his case known. He tramped fish-way across last nignt's march reeling like a drunken man, but nature gave out at last, and with a groan he telt on rho snow.

There he lay, the pitiless rain beating on a boyish, upturned lace, until a passing sleigh stopped behind him. The driver, hashing his lentern in the upturned lace, said he was dead. 'Not yet, old was the reply of the youth as he opened his eyes. 'I'm not even a candidate for the hospitiii yet'" That the troubles and privations were only beginning on the weary journey round Lake Superior is evident when we come to the accounts or bow matters are away in the Quappolio region. Out of a good many extracts wnich might be given we select the following: FORT QrarEher.

Anthony addressed the Cook Coulity Woman's Suffrage Society at the Sherman yesterday afternoon. In referring to her recent visit to New Orleans, Miss Anthony said that it afforded her great pleasure to fled that every woman at all representative was a woman suffragist It bad been said that woman suffrage was a Northern, Yankee idea, and Senator Brown bad declared that there was not a woman suffragist in all Georgia. On the contrary, in the South there were greater enthusiasm and power.

perhaps, and more independence and fearlesness than the women of the North possessed. There was scarcely a Legislature but had had woman's suffrage under discussion, and in every instance they ha1 refused to strike the wora male" from the State Constitution. Why. asked the speaker, were women not on juries in Wyoming? Simply because the United States Marshal did not put their names in the box. Her nope for the future of the movement lay strongly in the direction of getting a hold Of the Territories.

It would be the beginning of the end. One of the Strongest Objections urged against having women on juries was that they would be controlled too strongly tr. sentiment. Judge Green bad declared women superior to men for their discernment. of facts and use of their reason.

in referring to the difficulty of approaching legislators on the subject of woman suffrage, Miss Anthony Said: "Our worst enemies and the greatest hindrance to the progress of our movement are the of our legislators. It would be a nice thing If we couid only spike these guns." She had been recently conversing with Senator Voorhees, and he bad told her that he had been for some time considering the sebject seriously. The Senator's son Charlie bad recently been sent as a Delegate to Congress by the women of 'Washington Territory, and the Senator's views were beginning to change since the element of self-interest bad come into them. He was now guided by 'what "Charlie" said and thought about the subject. Washington Territory would be admitted a State as soon as Dakota, and then tney would have four Senators who woted be out and out for woman suffrage.

Miss Atithony concluded with a brief sketch of the progresa of woman'S Suffrage in England. charged in the indictment." Mr. Fish quietly removed his eves from the jury without apparent feeling at bearing that his buoyant It 3pc5 of acquittal or at least of a fsilure of the jury to agree were dashed. There was a space of quiet when Judge Benedict told the jury they were excused for the term. Then Mr.

Clarke.of the counsel for the convicted man stated that he would present his exceptions and move tor a new trial Monday, and also. at tMtt time, address the court In reference to Mr. Fish's bail. "What is to beeouie of the prisoner?" asked one of his counsel. "He is remanded," said Judge Benedict.

He was taken to Ludlow Street Jail. Monday Lail will be furnished pending sentence or further action in rererence to a new trial. The jury on their first ballot stood eleven to one in favor of conviction. Horace Galpin, the eighth juror, was not perfectly clear in he mind regard to the intent of the accused, and was disposed to be lenient at first. The jury found that it was impossible to discuss the counts without a copy of the indictment before them.

On their return several ballots were necessary on specific counts, which delayed them considerably. The prisoner is liable to a sentence of from five to ten years' imprisonment on each count. BUSINESS INTERESTS. NEW YORK, April prominent dry geode merchant said today: "I doubt if ten years hence there will be three first-class dry goods jobbing houses In New York. The jobbers are turning their eyes to the West.

Such a city as Chicago, for instance, is infinitly better than New York as a distributing centre lor goods. Of course it would cost a jobber more to get his goods to Chicago from the Eastern mills and from Europe than it does to buy them In New York, where the commission merchant delivers- them free of charge at his door. But he could charge the retailer enough to make up for the freight, and then the retailer could, it not the victim of freight discraninationa even upon reduced freights, because of a shorter haul. The buyers of the present Western houses are as shiewd as our own, and they are bringing their houses up into close competition witn the New York jobbers. To protect themselves the New York houses may have to act on the aggressive and meet the Western men on their own.

The firm deny the reports of The Secretary of the United Exchange (Limited) said that his organization bad bought out Bishop and tnis transfer probably gave life to the rumor. He also stated that his corporation 'would meet nil of Bishop is liabilities. THE COLLECTORSHIP. The story that the Collectorship of this port has been offered to State Senator Thomas Newbold of Poughkeepsie was laughed at in political circles tonight. The general opinion expressed was that as more than two months have to expire before the appointment can be made, it Is quite unlikely that the President has fully considered tile matter yet, much less offered the place to anybody.

One prominent County Democrat said that President Cleveland would in ail prnbability appoint a resident of this city Collector, and not a man from the in tenor of the State. Senator Newbold, when spoken to on the subject in Albany tonight, authorized a denial of the statement that he had received any offer of appointment to the Collectorship. BURTON AND CUNNINGHAM. The following is Secretary I3ayard's letter in reply to a request made to him to take appro. priate action in regard to the cases of Burton and Cunningham, who are awaiting trial in London for complicity in the recent dynamite explosions: OP D.
