New York, Dec. 1.—[Special.]—Amid the bustling crowd that “swirls,” as the author o £ "Asa*odeuo” woald say, in and out cf newspaper row, I caught the eye of ex-Senator “Joe'’ McDonald, of Inili aua. this afternoon. People hear little of McDonald nowadays.

The colored janitor of an insurance building recently appeared before the directors of the company as they sat at lunch, and asked for a short leave of ab sence. There seemed to be signs of an objection, so he explained: “I am, gentlemen, more of a person age than you imagine me to be. viewing me as you do only in a sentimental man ner.

New Yoek, Dec. 1.—[Special.] —A cable dispatch to the Evening Sun says that Emperor William is still confined to his apartments. His malady has tnl-^n a serious torn. The emperor is reported as being very angry at the, sensational reports sent to London newspapers. A copy of the telegram ssht the Times was published in a local paper, and the entire edition was confiscated and the editor arrested. The text of the article is given by the Sun as follows: Almost immediately upon his acces- sion to the throne Emperor William, never regarded as a robust man, al though appearing in padded uniform as of fine phisique and in excellent form, OFFENDED ORATORS.

More over, it ia stated that upon teverai occa sions covered by the period of his jour neys and stoppages at the various capi tals visited, the young emperor per mitted himself to indulge inordinately in strong drink, a practice to which ho was rot addicted prior to his assumption of imperial power. To this indulgence and its consequent effects are ascribed many of his lapses in filial duty toward his mother, which in a man iu the ordinary walks of life would have been charac terized—and justly, too—as the acts of a man of conspicuously brutal instincts; and also, much of his intemperance of speech with reference to vital political questions.

For th ; s reason the demo crats in the last campaign were opposed by all the big land and railroad corpora tion*, which influence was powerful.not only in the west, but in nil parts of the country. The president has tocen : anxious that his administration should do something toward forcing a settlement of the Pa cific railroad question, and the comiq s- sion which he appointed made a report to congress on which the Outhwaite hill, now pending in congress was 1 ased.

Obscurity — Notes. London, Dec. 1.—[Special.]—'Tha re porting of parlirmentary speeches is far beliind that which prevails in all other popular assemblies of the world. "Han sard” is doomed, and new arrangements will be tried next year. It has long been known that except in the case of a few speakers Hansard is not trustworthy The popular impression that Hansard retains a corps of parliamentary stenog raphers, from whose notes the debates ave printed, is erroneous. The speeches printed in Hansard are taken from the morning papers and sent to the peers or members by whom they ware delivered for revision and comciicn. As the journals of this city report verbatim only the speeches of the leading mem bers, and give a mere summary of the others, those who have failed to get their addresses published have inaugurated a war on Hansard. An overwhelming majority of the house have been kept in comparative obscurity by Hnnsard.

It is rather diffi cult to decide on what Ward’s great pop ularity is based.

Richmond, Va., Dec. 1.—[Special.]— In the Richmond Dispatch of yesterday was published a bitter invective against the president. The author is sa d to b 1 a politician of high note and second audi tor of the state. It charges the president with a lack of the principles which go to make up democracy, and towards the close occurs this passage : “When, therefore, it was seen that Mr. Cleveland had invited Fred Douglas and his white wife and negro daughter to his social receptions at tho White House, at least four times, it became ev ident he was ignoring the problem of his age; that he was, by that act, a miscege- nationi-.t, and, therefore, was not enti tled to be called a great man, or the greatest president the United States ever had.” < The Richmond State of this evening defends Mr. Cleveland, and says he is the “ablest executive that ever lived in the White House.” will doubtless be successful, as it has the support of tories. liberals, liberal nation alists and rarneliites.

Funeral of Mrs. General Sherman. New Yore, Dec. 1.—[Special.] — The suggestion of Congressman Oates that the dismemberment of the “solid South” be accompanied by a constitutional amendment disfranchising the negro, is received with derision by the educated colored men here. The ceuntry would never permit such discrimination on purelv race lines. They say they recog nize the desirability o: the division of both southern and negro votes, butcla'm that the adoption of a property or edu cational qualification wnuid meet all the requirements, and, further, put a stop to the conduct of political contests on “Black’s office” principle. St. Louis, Dec. 1. [Special.]—The remains cf Gen. Sherman were interred in Calvary cemetery this morning. The pall-bearers were Gen. Pope, R. P. Tan- sev, Gen. John W. Noble, Gen. J. B. Henderson, Henry Hitchcock, F. A. Drew, Mayor Francis and D. K. Fer guson. The remains left New York Thursday night in a special car, and arrived at the Upton depot this morning, where they were met by the pall-bearers, representa tives of the Loyal Legion, the several Grand Army posts, the Women's Relief Corps and many Catholio societies, who marched in at;endance to St. Xavier's church, on Grand and Lindell avenues, where low ma** was lead at 11 o'clock.
