End Rspacted nt Any Time All flop Abandoned. INDIANAPOLIS. March in. -The Intent bulletin says that the condition of General Harrison remained practicnlly unchanged, with the exception that he was resting n little easier. At 10::!O last night W. II. II.

Jameson gave nut the following statement: "CJencnil Harrison is growing weaker. Th congestion is spreading, which is LV,s Jki ' Jl;f HI1 O BENJAMIN HAKBISON. alarming. He mny live H5 or 40 hours, but I fear the end is now near. "The increase in the number of respira tions is an alarming sign to myself and the other physicians. It indicates that the intlanimatiou is deepening nrnf spreading. The present situation shows that General Harrison is battling for re covery with all the force and strength of a magnificent constitution and assisted by the vigor of a life lived according to the rules of hygiene, but battling unsuc cessfully. He is gradually growing worse. Hour by hour his vitality doorcases, ami he is less able to resist the attacks of the inflammation. It is impossible al this hour to predict how long the strug gle will endure. It may last lit! hours; it may last 4S. I think the general will be able to go through the night successfully. The vitality and power of resistance manifested by General Harrison are wouderful." ALL TO CHARITY. Eccentric 'Woman Left :tOO,OOD to Various Societies. WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., March 13.

A ONE SIDED FIGHT. German Troops Still Killing Chinamen. ACTIVITY NEAR THE GREAT WALL llerlln Authorities Toasted to Know the llrnann I'or the Movement of Chinese Troops at That Point. BERLIN, March 13.-The'wr office has received the following dispatch from Count von Wuldersee, dated Peking, March 11: "In the fight west of Snllng pnss we had only one slightly wounded. The Chi nese left 250 dead on the field. "Our cavalry, with four qulekfirers, pursued the Chinese 20 miles. A battalion remains at Fcn-ping aud westward from the great wnll in order to prevent re- , turn of the Chinese troops.". Ollieial circles in Berlin declare that It Is impossible to judge hi re exactly what Wads to the Chinese nctivily around the (treat wall. The Russian papers nre spreading reports that the movement there is engineered by General Tung Fu Hsiaug and Prime Titan for the recon quest of Manchuria. It is to the interest J of Russia to circulate this view. On the j other lin ii 1 1 it Is believed in Berlin that ; Ihe Chinese troops near the great wall , have but slight power of resistance, a , the report of Colonel Leilebur's engage ment seems to indicate. It is also believ ed that these Chinese troops are inferior to those sent against the allies before the rapture of Peking. The statement that Russia insists upon China's signature to the Mnnchurinn con vention rests upon ChiiiA- authority, but Germany has no reason to suppress such information, ami the fart remains that the agreement has not yet been signed. Nothing is known here as to the pub lished report thnt German capitalists are negotiating with high Chinese ollieials for the erection of arsenals at Nankin, Wuchang nnd other points, but the rumor is not believed in Berlin.
