New York, July 17.—The World,
which claims to have obtained a com
plete history of the present condition of
the president, printe the following diag
nosis of the case:
The president feels somewhat the ef
fects of overwork. Since his inaugura
tion Hr. Cleveland has probably en
dured a greater strain upon his vitality
than almost any other toiler in the
land. Day by day he has been occupied
with the endless round of visitors. At
night he has remained at his desk and
performed duties that should have been
attended to daring the day. This cease
less mental strain has been borne with
out any breakdown, bat the strain has
told.
Mr. Cleveland is in fairly good physi
cal health. There has been but little
increase in hi9 weight. Considering
the indisposition to physical exertion
that has characterized Mr. Cleveland
since his arrival at middle life, a much
greater development of adipose tissue
might he expected than has actually oc
curred. The gain has been only about
seven pounds. The president’s appetite
lias generally been good during the
spring and early snmmer. and he has
slept well. Few men can devote as
many hours to active brain work and
as little time to sleep as Mr. Cleveland.
The question is, How long can lie con
tinue in this way?
There has been some annoyance from
a carious tooth which has caused the
condition of the gum known to dental
j surgeons as alveolar abscess. This is a
j trifling but painful affection, the pain
I arising from sympathetic neuralgia of
j the jaw. Mr. Cleveland has been sub
ject to rheumatic gout for a number of
years. Last summer he had a moderate
attack when he arrived at Gay Gables
for the season. There has been a recent
visitation of the affection, not serious,
but annoying and of sufficient intensity
to necessitate confinement to a room *
several days.
The president lias worried over the
financial situation and has been averse
to calling an extra session of congress
unless compelled to do so by the condi
tion of the business of the country. The
necessity for bringing congress together
in August instead of in September, as
he had decided, was a disappointment
to him. What Mr. Cleveland reqtiires
is rest, and as there is no chronic dis
ease of any of his organs, a few weeks’
repose amid the healthful, bracing,
breezes of Buzzard’s Bay ought to re
cuperate him for a continuance of the
great labor he will resume ou his return
to Washington.

THE CHANCES OF SILVER
Canvassers Have Abont Completed a
Poll of the Members.
HAETEE AND BLAND DIFFEB
Tbe Hoom D1kd*m<1 the Wilson Bill, and
the Senate Considered the Over
loaded Public Buildings.
Vest Has a Remedy.
Washington, Aug. 17.—The execu
tive committee cf the anti-silver forces
in the house, appointed at the last con
ference, held a meeting for consulta
tion. A poll of the house has been prac
tically completed by canvassers in the
interest of the anti-silver faction, which
is said by one of the leaders to show an
impregnable majority of 27 in favor of
the unconditional repeal of the purcha
sing clause, as provided in the Wilson
hill.
There is a substantial agreement of
opinion among the silver and anti silver
leaders as to what is fo be tke real test
of strength of the two parties on the
several questions to be voted on at the
close of the present debate, but a wide
divergence exists as to the number of
votes that would be cast by the two
sides thereon.
Mr. Harter estimates that if the house
successfully passes what he calls the
danger point of the vote on free coinage
at a ratio of 20 to 1. the majority for
the Wilson bill, which will present the
naked question of repeal or no repeal,
will be 100 or more.
On the other hand, Mr. Bland says
that there are representatives who may
vote against the coinage of silver at any
specified ratio who will not vote to
wholly abolish the use of silver as a
money metal, which would be the ef
fect, he says, of the passage of the Alli
son bill. “If there are any representa-
froin the silver district who would
thus vote,” said Mr. Bland, * f they had
better make terms with the administra
tion, for they cannot do it with their
people.”
Mr. Harter's doubt as to the result of
the vote on the proposition to win sil
ver at a ratio of 20 to 1, is said to be
dne to information conveyed to the ant^
FARMERS JiT LOSE.
They Outwitted the Officers in the
Grain Elevator Failures.
THEY WEBE BOBBED ONCE,
Bat They Organized at Night and Robbed
the Elevators of Their Staff Which
was Held on Storage and
Had Been Levied On.
Bloomington, I1L, Aug. 17.—The
failure of the Middle Division Elevator
company, doing business at a dozen
points on the Kankakee line of the Illi
nois Central, continues to furnish sen
sations. Sheriff Bishop of this county,
who started out Saturday to take pos
session of the six elevators in McLean
county, secured those at Colifax and
Cookeville. When midnight came, and
as a levy on Sunday would not bold, he
suspended operations until Monday
morning.
A deputy sheriff then started to se
cure the others, but at Cropsey found
only empty sheds, the farmers having
seized every bushel of grain on Sunday
and hauled it home or sold it to other
dealers, as the grain was simply stored
and not 6old. They recovered their own
without litigation. The same thing oc
curred at Anchor.
There were nearly 20,000 bushels of
grain in the Cropsey elevator, including
12,000 bushels of new oats. The farm
ers assembled at 5 p. in., and by 1 a. m.
Sunday the bins were empty.
CAUGHT THE NEGRO. _
And He (iare the Snap Away on T\ro
White Men.
Kansas City. Aug. 17. — John
W. Kittrel, the young negro, who with
the assistance of two white men and
the connivance of the express messen
ger, robbed a wagon of the Pacific Ex
press company of $7,500 in Wichita on
the night of July 29, was caught here
by.Policemen Sol Davis, S. W. Nichols
and Thomas Wilson, who will receive a
reward of $300.
He says that Art Handier, the ex
press wagon driver, planned the rob-
ue|y with him and Howard Greer. Han-

Mie OI«l Leader** Friends Will Protest
Against a Change.
Washington, July 17.—The state
ment is printed here that friends of Mr.
Springer, acting upon the report that a
new leader of the honse is to be selected
are writing to the president and to
Judge Crisp protesting against the pro
posed change. They insist that not
only does Mr. Springer possesses all of
the qualities necessary to leadership in
the next house, but has fair earned that
recognition by his long and faithful
championship of tariff retorrn.
This story may or may not be true;
but it can be stated as a certainty that
the report that Mr. Springer is not
again to be be chairman of the ways and
means committee does not come from
those unfriendly to that geutleman or
who distrust his Democracy or under
value his past party services.
He is far from strong physically, and
the task of passing a new tariff bill will
call for no little labor. For these two
reasons Mr. Springer has been counted
out ill popular speculation here. But They Are Holding Their Annual Meeting
that, even if he should not be chairman
again, he will cu* a distinguished figure
in the coming fight is not to be doubted
and is not doubted here.
THE MAKEUP OF CONGRESS.
Where the Members Ware Born and
What They Did.
Washington, Aug. 17.—Of the 356
members of the present congress, 333
were born in the United States. Twen
ty-two are of foreign birth and parent
age, and one, Speaker Crisp, was born
of American parents on a visit to Eng
land. There is one negro, Mr. Murray,
of South Carolina. Of the foreign born
representatives Ireland furnished the
greatest number. 8, 5 of whom repre
sent districts in the state of New York.
Germany was the birthplace of 4. Can
ada of 3, New Brunswick of 2, Norway
of 2 and Anstria, Scotland and Hunga
ry each of 1. The representation of a
district in one state by a congressman
born in another is very common.
Of the states which have furnished
congressmen to their sister states. New
York and Pennsylvania are on a par,
each having 15 of its natives among the
representatives from other states; Indi
ana with 11 comes next, then Ohio with
nine, Massachusetts with eight, and
Virginia with seven. Kentucky and
Georgia have five each, and Mississippi,
Missouri. Tennessee and Wisconsin have
three or four each. Of those who make
known in the directory their early occu
pation, the farmer boys arc most nu
merous, there being 55 of thonl; 32 had
taught school; eight were printers, four
were sailors, four clerked in a Btore,
two started as telegraph operators and
railroad men, four learned blacksmith-
ing, and two were shoemakers, one a
miner and two carpenters.
Many note that they left college to
enter the union or confederate armies,
and these are specially numerous among
southern representatives. Yale has 5
graduates. Harvard and Dartmouth tt,
and Amherst. Cornell and Georgetown
2; Bowdoin, Brown, Washington and
Lee and many of the state universities
have two or more representatives each.
A Pullman Car Conductor Arrested.
Hannibal. Mo., Aug. 17.—Ed Rem

Denver express train of the Burlington,
was arrested while on his run and
placed in jail on the charge of an assault
with intent to ravish upon Mrs. Charles

last Sunday and alleges that Reming
ton locked her and her two babies in
his car and tried to ravish her. She
successfully fought him off. Remnig-
ton’s headquarter’s are in St. Louis.
The feeling against him here is very
Strong. He pleads innocence.
The Sentence of a Court.
New York, Aug. 17.—J. Albert Ells
worth, wearing the uniform of a rail

Kinney street. He also slapped her in
the face. He meant no offense he de
clared. The sentence of the court was

that echoed through the courtroom.
Husband and wife went home together.

Hot Springs, Ark., Aug. 17. — A
stranger who gives the name of John
R. Kicks worked a confidence game on
a number of merchants in this city Sat
urday night by which he realized sev
eral hundred dollars in cash. His plan
look at some jig-saws. Edward, the 12-

the men the saws one of them struck
the boy on the head with a sandbag.
Edward was stunned, but his mother

The assailants escaped. They had a

Nancy Has Done Her Rest.
Boston, Aug. 17.—The attempt of
Nancy Hanks at Mystic Park to reduce
her record of 2.04 was a failure. She
covered the distance in 2.08±.
New York, Aug. 17.—A World’s
Washington special says:
It was learned today that the breach
of promise ruit brought against Con
gressman W. C. P. Breckinridge, of
Kentucky, by Madeline V. Pollard
nearly culminated in a tragedy, Mr.
Breckinridge since his arrival here has
been under police protection. The au
thorities will not admit this, but it is
known that two detectives have fol
lowed him to the capitol and shadowed
him on his return to the hotel. Mr.
Breckinridge, it is said, received some
information from friends that Miss Pol
lard or her brother, who had. been sent
for. intended to shoot him on sight, and
he promptly communicated his fears to
the police. It is known that Miss Pol
lard’s brother is in the city, and Mr.
Breckinridge is still apprehensive of se
rious trouble. Two detectives from
headquarters were at the capitol today
on the watch ter Miss Pollard and her
brother. Mr. Breckinridge was in the
house this morning, but did not remain
long. He appeared to feel keenly the
humiliation of his position. He declined
to discuss the case even with his friends.
Miss Pollard, who has been out of the
hospital only a few weeks, has left her
boardinghouse on Capitol Hill and no
one appears to know her whereabouts.
This change of residence on her part has
aroused new fears among the friends of
Mr. Breckinridge.
This sensational development in the
case has stirred up no end of gossip.
Congressman Breckinridge has taken a
conspicuous part in church work, but
from stories told here it is apparent
that the people of this district lmd some
intimation last fall of the scandal. One
story is that the people in his district
had been informed as to the character
of his private life, and that there was
consequently a reaction against him.
His supporters, fearing that he would
lose the election, called upon him to de
fend nimself and make a public denial
of the charges. The representative as
sented, and a great mass meeting was
called. On the evening in questipu the
hall was packed, as the object of the
meeting had been pretty well under
stood. Seizing the splendid opportuni
ty to impress his audience, Dir. Breck-
enridge made one of the most brilliant
political speeches of his career, fairly
electrifying his hearers by his elo
quence. Just at the conclusion, in the
quickest and coolest manner, he picked
up a box lying on the table, and said:
“My friends, you are acquainted with
some faults of mine. 1 should like to
present this box of cigars to any one
who will come forward and state that
he has never been guilty of the same
but rumor says that a person present
shouted, “I don’t smoke!” It is said
further that the nerve displayed by Mr.
Breckenridge at that time was so much
admired that nis election by a large
majority was the result.
Mr. Breckenridge’s friends declare
this story to be a fabrication, pure and
simple, and say that the congressman
is entitled to a hearing before the
charges are accepted.

Charles Dudley Warner Explains.
Hartford, Conn., Aug. 17.—Charles
Dudley Warner was seen in relation to
the published statement that he intro
duced Miss Pollard into New York so
ciety. Dir. Warner does not like the
notoriety into which he has been
brought by tae story. He says he nev
er introduced Miss Pollard to anybody
in New York to the beat of his remem
brance. He became acquainted with
Miss Pollard about five years ago, and
his friendship with her has been that
which he has had with-a hundred wo
men who have literary ambition. He
first heard from her while visiting
Washington. She asked for instruction
about writing for the press and invited
him to call at the convent of the Sacred
Cross. He met Miss Pollard and con
sidered her a bright young woman. He
gave her advice as to her literary
course, and from that time to this he
: has met her at literary gatherings and
I 1 has corresponded with her on literary
matters.
While at the capital a couple of years
ago Miss Pollard introduced Mr. War-
ner to Congressman Breckinridge. Last
i fall Mr. Warner witnessed a parade in
New York—possibly the Columbian
parade—at the honse of a friend on
Fifth avenue, and Miss Pollard was in
vited to the same house. Mr. Warner
introduced her to no one.
He was mu -h surprised by the charges
in Miss Pollard’s complaint. They had
never been suspected by him. In his
acquaintance with Miss'Pollard he al
ways considered her a bright, conscien
tious, well meaning young woman, who
looked up to Mr. Breckinridge as a pro
tector. Mr. Warner is continually re
ceiving letters from women ambitious
to become writers, and this case is of
exactly the same character a 100 others.
