EMPEROR FREDERICK.
Bismarck informed the Reichstag that Em
peror Frederick would leave San Remo to
morrow and that he will arrive in Berlin in
due course of time. The House received the
communication with evident satisfaction.
Herr Von 1'uttkamer, in announcing the
death of the Emperor to the lower bouse of
the Diet, had not alluded to the new Empe
ror. This omission had created A painful
impression.
The Reichstag then adjourned for an in
definite period.
After adjournment Bismarck descended
from the elevated seat occupied by members
of the Bundesrath into the bodyof the house,
and greeted 1 Count Vun Moltke. Members
crowded around him us he showed the order
dissolving the Reichstag, all being anxious
to see the lust signature of the Emperor. The

THE DEATH DED.
He eye-wittesses of the scenes at the Em-
pror's death state that during the last few
hour, of his life he suffered no pain. Short-
ly after 8 o’clock all members of the family
Baying at the palace, court dignitaries, gen-
enit ami ministers of state, were aum
asaed to the chamber in which the Em-
fetst lay dying. The Emperor was in a lie If-
sittiagposition on a camp bedstead. All the
■eaten of the royal family took pi, . , at

Prince William stood nearest the Emperor,
half heading over the couoh. He earnestly
curbed the face of the dying monarch uutll

The Emperor has also forwarded the fol

on tlu subject of public mourniug: "With

heretofore been customary, we will not order

The Bourse is closed on account of the
Emperor’s death.
THU EMPEROR’S LAW RAYS.
The Reichsangzerg gives the following de
tails of the last hours of Emperor William:
On Wednesday, when his strength began to
fail, the Emperor spoke repeatedly to Prince
William aliout Uie condition of the Crown
Prince and ahont political ..rid military af
fairs. On Thursday he talked with hia daugh
ter, the grand Duohesa of Baden about the
death of her sou Prince Louis. At noon he
asked for Bismarck, who came and con
versed with hint oji the polities! situation.
The Emperor snoke dearie ami
thanked the chancellor for hit
services to the country. Increased
feebleness soon followed, attended with deli
rium. His voice became feebler and feebler,
finally sinking to a whisper. At 5 o’clock
he was so weak that members of the family.
Prince Bismarck and Count Von Moltke and
the servants of the household gathered
aroumi nis bedside. The Emperor, sup
ported by bis doctors, held the haud of his
wife on one side and his daughter’s hand on
the other. Prince William stood alone at
the head of the couch. Chonlain Koepcl
spoke a few words of consolation, to which
the Emperor whispered occasional responses.
At 5:30 o’clock the patient matiifected ex
treme weakness and death seemed immi
nent. Suddeuly the Emperor rallied and
aftJed for Count Von Moltke and Prince
William, to h*th of whom be talked about
the state of the army and the Prussian peo
ple, entering into rninuie particulars when
speaking of milRary matters, to the astou
ishuient of both liis listener?. .
116 then referred to Germany’s alljanee
with various countries in the possibility of
war. During the latter portion of his re
marks on the politics of Belgium,. were
mingled with incoherent utterances. Con
trary to jxpectuti »i, his strength lasted till
10 o’ei'ttk. At frequent intervals

General surprise is expressed that the
House of Commons did not adjourn in con
sequence of Emperor William’s death.
The Queen has sent telegrams of condol
ence to Berlin and San Remo. She was
dressed in deep black when she took her
drive in the gardens of IJmLL.-Ihum psdace
to-day. All palace officials and servants are
dressed in mourning. The ivim«.i Wale*., ■
in deep mourning, visited the Queen at W
o’clock this morning, and again at noon.
The court has been ordered i<> \w ;ir nmuru-
ing for a month. All state ceremonies have
been cancelled. The Prince of Wiles,
Prince Christian and Prince Henry of Bat-
tenberg, will attend the Emperor’s funeral.

Rerun, March 10.—‘To the details of the
Emperor’s death, already telegraphed to the
Associated Press, it is almost impossible to
add. But an incident at once notable and
readable is the story of tne Emperor’s last
recognition of his family. About 7 o’clock
the uuctora succeeded iu restoring a mo
ment’s consciousness by giving h*m a glass
of wiu*. After swallowing thu wine he
stroked his moustache, os it was his custom
to do, and tried to rube himsiHf in bed. He
turned hia head toward his daughter, the
Duchess of Baden, and said: "Where is the
Empress?” The Duchess replied: "Mamma
is sitting by you.” The Emperor uodded
his beau, intimating that he understood the
Duchess.

1 to discourage him, and after that he
fouclit with little spirit. Mitchell showed
great pluck throughout, and his friends are
jubilant, as the result is virtually a victory
for the little Englishman. At the end of
the fight both men were in poor shape and
Mitchell’* backers finally consented to the
proposition made by Sullivan’r backers that
the tight be declared a draw. The Americau
crou d is blue. The fight was a desperate
one. Both received fearful black eyes.
The great fight, as not one in fifty expect
ed it would, ended after39 rounds, in which
the lighter man fully used his advantage
under the London Prize Ring Rules, by the
referee declaring the fifth a draw.J
THE ARRANGEMENTS.
The arrangements made last night for
the fight were chaotic. Mitchell’s agent
who was sent over ten days before to secure
the ground was obliged to confess that he
had failed to procure a suitable spot, where
upon a wrangle ensued and tne Sullivan
party, rightly or wrongly, charged Mitchell
with trying to wriggle out of the fight.
Finally the Mitchell party left the choice
of: round to Sullivan’s backers, who ap
pointed Gideon, of the Sportman; T. Dun
ning, also of the Sportsman, and Ory, of the
Sportinan’s Paris buren, were appointed to
select the battle field. The trio left Amiens
avenue for Creil, the pugilists arranging to
follow to-day. - Early this morning the
two parties proceeded lo Baron Rothschild’s
grounds at Aprcmont, where a ring was
pitch ed iu a ouiet spot ou good ground.
Mitchell talked much, as usual, and though
pale, declared himself confident. Sullivan
looked determined, but was somewhat thin
In the face. When the combatants reached
the ring forty spectators were present. Mac
Donald and Jack Ashton seconded Sullivan
and Baldo ck and Kilraiu seconded Mitchell

THE FIGHT HY ROUNL
First round—Everything was in favor of
the American. Both opened cautiously, but
Sullivan soon landed a heavy blow with lib
left on Mitchell’s jaw. Mitchell retaliated
with a light blow on Sulliran’a chest, where
upon lie sent in a crash upon Mitchell's
head and knocked him clean ofThis legs.
Second round—After half a minute’s In
terval, Mitchell came to time. The Boston
boy twice cornered Mitchell and landed a
pile driver in his chest. This was a crusher
for Mitchell, who tried to run out of harm’s
wav, bat he caught a blow on the head from
Sullivan's right that downed him like a log.
Third round.—Mitchell came up for the
third round but rau all around the rlug,
closely followed by the American, who
finally sent bint sprawling with a right
hander.
Fourth round.—Sullivan was blowing on
account of runniug after Mitchell, and al
though he finally caught Mitchell and pun
ished him lightly, the Englishman continued
to pursue the same tactics.
. Fifth round.—Mitchell seeing a powerful
right hander coming, dropped to the ground
to avoid the punishment, whereupon the
referee cautioned him aguinst breaking the
ring rule*. •
TUB REMAINING ROUND-.
In the next three rounds Sullivan was kept
bnay chasing Mitchell ari and the ring.
Mitchell landed a blow or two lightly, reach
ing Sullivan'* face twice. At \hii time the
ram began falling heavily and the ground
was swamped. Sullivan waa nearly breath
less from chasing Mitchell, but both pegged
away. Little harm was done after the firet
four rounds, Mitchell trying to keep out of
harm’s way and Sullivan’s blows losing their
force. In the thirty-second round Sullivan waa
attacked with ague. Rain waa falling iu tor
rent*. The character of the round may be
imagined from the fact that it laited twenty-
seven minutes. The thirty-fifth round lasted
fifteen minutes. Sullivan was unable to ap
proach Mitchell. Roth men seemed weals
and their blow* were light.
The thirty-ninth round Luted half an hoar.
Baldock now saw that no definite result
could be reached, and he suggested that the
fight be declared a draw. The principal*
agreed to this and the two .fighters shook
hands after battling three hour* and eleven
minutes.
Mitchell showed considerable punishment.
There was a great lump oc hi* jaw, his left
eye was bunged up, aud hia body bruised.
At the outset Sullivm offered to Imek him
self for $2,500, hut the offer was declined.
His backers then offered three to one on Sul
livan, but found no taker*. The party re
turned to Paris after the fight.
nOLY BOSTON IN SACKCLOTH.
Boston, March 10.—Sporting men were
thunder-struck to-day when they heard the
new* of the great battle on the other side of
the water. They considered it beyond be
lief that Sullivan had faced the Engliabman
for more than two hoars and not knocked
him out. It was pathetic in the extreme to
hear tome of the expressions of sympathy
for the American clia.iypioii. He was ex
pected to win. and the fact that he did not
was received in the same manner a* news of
his defeat would have been. It was the
unanimous opinion o( all Sullivan’s friend*

discourage the champion. It convince* them
that. the champion’s fighting days are proc-

committee on territories, received the fol

Dalton, Ga., March 9.—The negro who
attempted rape on Mrs. Anderson, a widow
Indy near Tunnel Mill, yesterday, was cap
tured at Varnell's Station this afternoon by a
pursuing party and taken before the lady for
identification. She fully identified him and
he made a full confession, when he was
taken by the posse into "outer darkness.”
Sheriff Foarch left here on horseback and
arrived about the time the confession was
made, but the posse, which was composed of
strangers, refused to allow the sheriff to ex
ercise any authority, and it is generally be
lieved that the negro met the fate usually
accorded to criminals of thia class. There is
no excitement, hut the quietness seems bom
of determination.

cers of justice to cross the frontier
when in punult of marauding Indians,
but whether this privilege, which was one
accorded by treaty, Is extended to officers in
punuit of civilized train robben, is not
known. Janos, where the officen mentioned
are imprisoned, is situated abont fifty miles
south of the southeast corner of Arizona, In
the State of Chihuahua, just east of the
8ierra Mad re range of mountains on the San
Mighel river. It is twenty-five miles south
of the New Mexican boundary. If there Is
no treaty permlttiaf AMlMi officer* to
cross the boundary when in hot punuit of
criminals, the American officen have been
guilty of violating the law of the Republic
of Mexico and the State of Chihuahua, but
if they arc permitted under treaty stipula
tions to pursue such criminals into Mexico,
the government of the United States will
undoubtedly demand reparation and apology
and also the immediate release of the par
ties.
An Associated Press dispatch from Ari
na brings similar intelligence, and adds that
Janes it the plncu where Captain Crawford
was killed by Mexicans wlicu in pursuit of
marauding Apaches, and win-re Col. McDon

Eipertment Ilefore the Commute—The Op
position to tho Ittll.
Wiisiiinutos, March 10.—The Senate
committee on agriculture this morning re
sumed its bearing* on the bill to protect the
manufaciure and role of pure lard. Prof.
Sharpies*, of Bolton, appeared, and at the
request of Mr. Wilson, proceeded to cora-
pourd an article out of 28 per cent, of
alearine, 28 per cgnt. of cotton seed oil, V>
per cent, of pure lard, and 10 per cent, of
i|e.ui hog's grease. The experiment waa
made to show that refined lard manufactur
ers might use grease of smothered end dis
eased hogs in the manufacture of the com
pound. .
Mr. Cromwell suggested to the committee
that the advocates of the pending bill, hav
ing failed to skiw how refined lard was
made, hml rrf.l the process of jug
glery to show how it might be manufactured:
and he suggested, further, thut so-called
S ure lard might also be compounded with
eag hog’s grease.
Dnriog the course of the rxperimente, the
3 notion arose us to whom the opponents of
ic bill were—whetheriinybodywss opposed
to it except Fairbanks A Co., Armonr A Co.,
snd u few other manufacturer*. Senator
Gruv remarked that there wse universal ob
jection throughout the South to the hill,
which attacked one of the chief Industrie, of
that eecliou. He had received numerous
telegrams protesting against the bill, which
he would, at the proper time, file with the
committee.
Iu answer to u question by Mr. Cromwell.
Professor Sharpies* said that il would be im
possible to tell from the odor the presenre
of dead hogs’grease in lard when cotton seed
oil was also used.
The committee adjourned until Saturday
next.

per cent, on the aggregate of the couuiry
ON THE FIRST OF OCTOBER,
although the February returns of estimated
produce, compured with that of
1886 were nearly identical with
the November return*. This furnishes »
further illustration of the local tendency to
under estimate the production. It was *tug-
MSted in the November report that it might

well developed plants v -aid produce better
than is expected in thei. apparent loss of

An allowance for the depressing effect «f a
panic iu local returns, .so stoutly opposed by
■peculators, is again proved to he necessary.

years the percentage ha* ranged from .one-
third to fourdenths of the unuual product*
The proportion merchantable is e4.4 per

per bushel. The unmerchantable average is
30.2 cert* per bushel. The average valat of
the stocK remaining is 47.6 cents per bushel,
