LoxDOJuIy4. Copyrighted. Young Kaiser "Wilhelm, of Germany, is safe under his grandmother's roof at Windsor to-night, and so are nearly all of the royal family of Great Britain and a large part of that of Germany, while so numerous is the visiting suite that many of its members have been compelled to put up vlthaecomtnodations outside of the palace. The Kaiser reached Tort Victoria on the imperial yacht Hohen zollern shortly after noon, -where a squadron of English battleships thundered him a wel come, while on the pier were his uncles, Albert Edward, Prince of "Wales, and the Dukes of Connaught and Edinburgh, and his cousin, Albert Victor, of "Wales, at tended by a numerous escort of high digni taries of the state and the members of the German Embassy. As a matter of reciprocal courtesy and royal etiquette, the German visitor wore the uni form of an English admiral, while the Prince of "Wales was attired in the uniform of an officer of the Prussian Guards. The Em peror kissed his uncle when they met on the deck of the Hohenzollern and embraced him as if he loved him dearly. He also .kissed the Duke of Connaught, but only shook hauds rather coldly with Albert Victor and the Duke of Edinburgh, while he was very warm in his greetings to Count Hatzfeldt, the German Ambassador, and the other. members of the Embassy. Boyal Greetings on the Tacht. The German Empress awaited her En glish relatives in the saloon of the yacht. The Prince of "Wales kissed hex hand, then her cheek, bnt the others of his suite only" v cntured on the former ceremony. There was luncheon on the yacht and thena spec ial train conveyed the distinguished party to "Windsor. At Port Victoria, extraordinary prepara tions had been made by the various officials interested, who were all under the com mand of the Duke of Portland, who, as Master of the Horse, had full charge of the welcoming ceremonies in all their details. Xobody was allowed to pass on the landing pier except the members of the royal fam ilies, their suites and the diplomatic corps. To such an extent was this intolerance and evclusiveness carried that the local post office, which is also the local telegraph of fice, was instructed by the Postmaster Gen eral to refuse to accept all press dispatches until the reception of the Emperor was at an end. A Scene of Great Beauty. Sheerness Harbor, it must be admitted, was a grand and beautiful sight. The Channel training squadron was at anchor there as a guard of b.nor, probably finer than that which ever before saluted a mon arch. In addition to this powerful fleet, there was gathered at Sheerness as fine a flotilla of torpedo boats as any admiral need wish to have at his disposal. Vastly imposing and warlike were the huge ironclads and swiftly terrible appeared the powerful cruisers. Particularly deadly appeared these fine vessels of the admiral class, the Howe, Anson, Cowperdown and Itodney, and the huge belted cruisers Aurora and Immortalite. The warships lined each side of the harbor, backed up by the huge forts and smaller fighting vessels, and all dressed from stem to stern with fluttering bunting, they formed a picture calculated to make an English man's breast swell with pride. In honor of the Imperial guest the warships, in addition to their own distinctive flags, also flew the standard of Germany to the breeze. Cannons Thunder a Welcome. As the German ships neared the line of British warships, all the latter thundered forth a royal salute and manned their yards with almost miraculous rapidity, while the bands played the German anthem. The roar of the guns, the cloud of gunpowder smoke, th distant music of the naval bands, the fine bracing weather, the splendid war ves sels, frowningjorts and refreshing breeze all combined to make as attractive a pictnre of "welcome" as any Emperor ever had or may ever expect to have. Taken as a whole, the greeting extended to the Queen's warlike young grandson was without parallel in the history of England. The general opinion expressed after the Emperor had landed was that he can't have laileu to DC UCii"":u ttiui tuc rcccpuuu ills relatives accorded him. Every station along the line to "Waterloo was filled with crowds of people, who cheered enthusiastically as the carriage swept past During the halt at "Waterloo the Emperor, responding to incessant vol levsof cheers, stepped out upon the plat form of his carriage and repeatedly saluted. Similar scenes were -witnessed all along the line to "Windsor. Windsor In a Blaze of Glory. The town of "Windsor was in a state of agitation, surpassing even its condition two years ago when -the Shah of Persia visited the Queen, for it is rent by the prospective wedding on Monday of Prince's Louise, of Schleswig Jtolstein, to Prince Aribcrt, of Anhalt,aswell as by the coming of the royal German. The entire town was gay with bunting and German and English flags, and half the buildings were covered with mottoes expressive of good wishes to the future bride and groom, as; well as of welcome to the illustrious guest. Soldiers guarded the castle and lined the streets, and there was a continual clatter of horses' hoofs upon the pavement, as mounted messengers dashed hither and thither or squads of cavalry wheeled into place. The Princess of "Wales, with her daugh ters, yictoria and Maud, the Princess Christian and her daughters, Prince Al ibert, the fiance of the elder, and Princess Beatrice were on the railroad platform when the visitors arrived, and there was a scene of hugging and kissing in the fem inine department that closely resembled any ordinary railroad station greeting. The Progress to the Castle. The pageant that proceeded to the castle was interesting, although not particularly imposing. The Emperor occupied the first carriage with lus three uncles. It was drawn by six wiute horses, ridden by postilions. The next carriage, in which were the Enipress,the Princess of "Wales and the Princesses Victoria and Maud, only had four horses, and the one behind that, occupied by Prince Albert Victor, his grendunclc, the Duke of Cambridge, and two of the Emperor's staff, was drawn by two steeds. There were six more carriages in all, and the English royalists were dis tributed as far as they held out In these, nUlWUg IA1V tUlU I1SI,UI, DUIbVi The German Emperor looked bronzed and strong, and he seemed pleased at the cheers that greeted him. He continually raised his hand to his hat, while the Prince of "Wales paid no attention to the demonstra tion. In. striking contrast to the German Emperor was the English Prince, pale and effeminate of countenance, and showing un mistakable signs of fatigue and dissipation. The Princess of "Wales looked fresh and young as ever under her pink parasol, and the little German Empress, in a quiet dress of gray, seemed almost insignificant beside her. Official Address for William. Of course the Mayor and Aldermen of "Windsor could not let the occasion go with out an address, and the .Emperor listened to it from his carriage. The address related how humble the addressors were and how much they appreciated the royal visitor's favor in condescending to listen to it; how much they esteemed him for his wisdom and greatness as a ruler and how much they loved him as a grandson of their gracious Queen. The Emperor responded that he was much obliged and that he was very fond of his grandmother, who hadbeen very kind to him before and since he ascended the throne. Then the procession moved on ward to the castle. In the quadrangle of the castle the Knights of St. George, whose bHght uni forms contrasted with the aged appearance of tho wearers, w ere grouped round the statue of Charles the Second. The Life Guards and Yeomen of the Guard lined the quadrangle, while scarlet-uniformed soldiers filled the approaches and ramparts of the tower. The Lord Chamberlain, bare headed, awaited the arrival of the imperial visitor at the entrance of the main Hall of the state apartments. Victoria Receives the Emperor. The Emperor's carriage Stopped beneath the portico of the Waterloo door. On alighting the Emperor entered the hall, preceded by the Lord Chamberlain. The Queen met him at the threshold and affec- .7 i-l 1 .1 t-! itliL. u..ni.. followed the Emperor, and the door was closed on tne lavored lew wno liaa Deen privileged to see thus far. Some minutes afterward the Emperor re appeared in the quadrangle, accompanied by the Prince of "Wales, the Duke or Edin burgh, the Duke of Cambridge, and pro ceeded as usual to inspect the troops. He shook hands and chatted with the officers, and watched the men defile out of the gates, and then retired to his apartments. After a short rest the Emperor and Empress dined with the Queen. Later the Emperor held & semi-official reception, at which were Count "Von Hatzfeldt, the German Ambas sador, Lord SalisburV, the Prince of Pless, Count jMetternich, Lord Stanhope and-' others, all of Whom were resplendent in levee' dress or Uniforms bedecked with orders. The Queen' One Hundred Guests. The Queen has exactly 100 guests sleeping at "Windsor to-night, a company larger than she has entertained since the death of her husband, SO years ago. These guestB are not all quartered in the royal castle itself, however. That palace, big as it is, being too small to take the lot The GermanNEm peror and Empress of course occupy what are known as the State apartments. The Prince and Prinoess of Wales are squeezed into three rooms in the Victoria Tower and their two daughters share one room in Augusta Tower, known as Baron Stockmer's room. The fact that he does not count for much when Emperors and Grand Dukes are about has been forced upon the Marquis of Lome, who, although the husband of the Queen's daughter, Louise, has had a bed made up for him in "The Chintz Boom," situated in King Edward the Third's Tower, several blocks away from his wife. The young Emperor has crowded into next week enough work to last an average monarch a month. Omitting numerous minor engagements he will attend the royal wedding at Windsor Monday; eat and speak at the State banquet at the same place on Tuesday. He will take a comparative rest on "Wednesday and will reave "Windsor the evening of that day for Buckingham Palace, London. On Friday he will proceed in state to the city of London to be presented with an address in a golden casket; to be entertained at luncheon and to hear and make speeches. The week will wind up on Saturday with a grand review at "Wimble ton, followed by a state visit to the Crystal Palace. FEAKS FOB THE EMPEBOB. Artisans Sot Allowed Access to Kim and Many Arrests Demanded. Beblht, Jply 4. A group of German artisans Tuesday applied directly to Count Von Hatzfeldt, the German Ambassador to England, for permission to present on ad dress, to the Emperor. The names and addresses of the petitioners as given at the Embassy -were closely scrutinized, and 1 was found that most of the applicants were 1 good, loyal men. Some of the names proved to be nctitious and were, it Is supposed, adopted by German Anarchists. Count von Hatzfeldt decided not to allow access to fts Emperor to anyone who was not fully iden tified and accredited. The Emperor was informed of the request and, understanding that it was made by German workmen desirous of expressing to him their gratification for the social reforms which he had instituted, wished ta receive them. It is understood, however, that the German Ambassador prevail upon his Majesty not to do so by reminding him that an attempt hod been made upon the life of his father daring the latter's sojourn in London in 1678. sjVhile the then Crown Prince was receiving a deputation of loyal workingmen at e German embassy, he was menaced bv a cumber of conspirators. who were barely foiled in their attempt to gain access to the embassy. The Berlin authorities are urging the English Government to make a clean haul of all suspected persons, of whom a list has been furnished by the Berlin police agents in London. , TEE KAISEB'S WISHES. He Desires to Announce the Treaty Main taining the Triple Alliance, Berlin, July 4. Diplomaticsircles here and probably every Government in Europe have reason to expect that the Emperor will announce the nature of the treaty just con cluded, maintaining the Dreibund. Ac cording to the belief in official circles, the Emperor has discretionary power to disclose the nature of the treaty between Germany and Italy. The new Dreibund pact includes, three distinct agreements one between Ger many and Austria, similar to the first defen- give treaty, which was signed in October, 1879; another between Germany and Italy and the third between Austria and Italy. The German-Italian treaty will be made public if Lord Salisbury gives his assent to the step, while that with Austria willTe main unrevealed. The idea is that the purely defensive character of the Italian agreement ought to assist in modifying the irritation of Trance. THE CONQUEST OF SIAM. FRANCE IS QUIETLY BUT SCBELT" , BBDi'GIKG THAT ABOUT. An Outlying Province Occupied by French Soldiers-HalT Way Denial Made by the Government as a Blind A Proposed Combine With England. BT CAB LI TO TUB DISPATCH. 1 Loudon, July 4. English newspapers has been kept so busily employed this week chronicling the movements and publishing the contradictory future plans of Kaiser "Wilhelm that the occupation by French soldiers of Luang Prabang, the outlying province of Siam, has passed almost un noticed, although it will prove an event of far-reaching importance. The French Government, remembering the political ruin which the Tonquin adventure brought upon Jules Ferry and his friends, has caused a sort of denial to be published in Paris. It is explained that .France has no desire to annex Siam, andthat if anv thing haB occurred in the direction of Luang Prabang it must have been due tothe ag gressive action of these bold, bad Siamese, who have frequently had the impudenoe to interfere with Franco's friend and feudatory Annam. The same sort of explanations and excuses heralded the occupation of Tonquin, and they are worth as much or as little now as then. Few people suppose that France is going to gobble up Biatn in one mouthful; that would be a dangerous undertaking, requir ing millions of francs and thousands of sol diers from home, where every centime spent and every conscript enrolled lor coiomai en terprises are at present Jealously scrutin ized. The work of aggression will therefore be carried on quietly, and the French flag will move slowly, with as littlo display as possible, until the national honor becomes involved in some manner, which will render retreat impossible. The people familiar with the inner working or French policy know well enough that when England want only annexed Upper Burmah, a few yean ago, it was decided at Paris that France should find compensation in Siam. England's real object in grabbing Upper Burmah was to obtain the rich trade of Southern and Southwestern China by bring ing it overland via Mandalay to the British portofBangoon. Frenchmen believe that the occupation of certain portions of Siam will enable them to divert that trade into their own hands. Heither country makes even a profession of philanthropy in the matter, and neither has done or will do any thing that might imply the possession of any rights by the native rulers and people of the countries annexed or to be conquered. The conquest of Siam would be easy enough for France if she had only to reckon with the unfortunate Siamese. But behind Siam stands Chinareadyondnot unwilling to take a hand in the game as soon as it shall have commenced. In these circumstances the suggestion is calmly made that England and France should divide Siam between them and join forces against anyone objecting to such an arrangement. The times are not propitious to an Anglo-French understand ing, however, when England is a Sleeping partner In the Triple Alliance, W. H. GLADSTONE DEAD. TfTK ELDEST SON OF THX3 GBEAT ., ENGLISH STATESMAN GONE. ' The BemoTal of the Tumor Results Fatally His Aged 'Father's GrleX Terrible to Witness, and Friends Fear the BeSult Career of the Deceased. London, July 4. William Henry Glad stone, the eldest son of Bight Hon. "William E wart Gladstone, the great English states man, died this morning. The deceased. was born at Ha warden, Flintshire, in 1840, and was educated at Christ Church, Oxford; entered Parliament in 1865, representing Chester; sat for "Whitby from 1860 to 1880, and subsequently represented East Worces tershire. The late Mr. Gladstone was a Lord of the Treasury from 1869 to 1874, and was a Deputy Lieutenant and Justice of the Peace for Flintshire at the time of his death. Of recent years "W. H. Gladstone had lived practically in retirement. The late Mr. Gladstone for some time had been suffering from brain disease and from paralysis of the right side. The physician who had been in attendance upon him per formed on operation Thursday, removing a tumor which had been pressing upon Mr. Gladstone's brain. The patient, however, sank rapidly after the tumor had been re moved. Mrs. Gladstone, Miss Gladstone and the deceased's two brothers,Herbert and Stephen, were present at his death, which occurred at tne residence ot ixra Jiiantyre, his wife's father. . The postoffice at Lowestoft, where "W. E. Gladstone has been recuperating, was kept open all night in order to keep the veteran statesman informed as to his eldest son's condition. Mr. Gladstone was desirous of leaving Lowestoft for London as soon as he heard of the danger which threatened his son; but tbe physician in attendance on the Liberal leader prevailed upon him to stay at the seaside. At 8 o'clock this morning Mr. Gladstone left Lowestoft for London, being summoned to the sufferer's bedside by the intelligence that the worst might be ex pected. Unhappily, Mr. Gladstone reached this city too late. Mr. Gladstone's'grief upon reaching the death chamber was terri ble for its intensity, so much So that his friends feel anxious as to the result.

BURNING TIES OAUSETHE WRECK, Passengers Crushed Beneath the "Weight of a Heavy Truck, MANY MUTOE MISHAPS OP YESTERDAY rsrSCIAlrTEUIOBAH TO TBS BIjrATCtt. Chaeleston, "W. Vs., July 4. The glad national holiday was marred and tho city cast into deep gloom early this morn ing by the news received .during the day of the most terrible railroad wreck ever known in this State. Train 2Tc 1, which left' here over the Kanawha and Michigan Railway for Columbus, consisted of an en gine, combined baggage, mail and express car, and two coaches. The coaches were filled with 78 or 80 passengers, most of whom were laboring people out for a holiday in the country, and were all in the brightest of spirits. Men.took their families to visit relatives in the country for the day, and a number of ohildren were on the train and among tne injured. The order of United American Mechanics was going to Poca to spend the day, many of them accompanied by their wives. A good many of the prssengers were employes of the railroad company going to their homes along the line to spend the joyous holiday. The Flange Down From a Trestle. The train had just pulled out In the early morning and gone a few miles, when sud denly there came a crash. The coaches rocked and shook, women screamed and stout men turned pale with fe&r. A moment more and the fearful plunge was made that dealt out death and destruction to so many people. The forward car rolled down the approach to the trestle, turned completely over, and now rests right side up some ten. feet below the track. The other car which was on the trestle proper, and had not reached the approach, rolled over the edge, turned bottom up and fell on its roof 20 feet below the track. In the terrible fall many persons were crushed and bruised, but to add to the horror the rear truck, which remained on the track, came crashing down upon the car, crushing everything under it and killing nearlv every person in that part of the car. One dead body after another w as pulled out through the window, most of them horribly mangled. Nearly all the dead were cut or bruised about the head. A Head Serered at the Mouth. Jasper Dougherty, of New Martinsville, was fearfully mangled. His head was cut off at the month, leaving only thslower jao on the headless trunk. Two or three Tioura after the wreck his head was found among the broken seats and debris In the Worst part of the wreck, weltering in its own bruin's, which were scattered over the car floor. Immediately after the wreck relief trains were Sent out with physicians from St. Al bans and Charleston, who did all in their power to relieve the sufferings of the in jured and save the lives of as many as pos sible. Thb Dispaxoh correspondent ar rived in the Becond train, and the scene which met his gaze was horrible beyond de scription. A dozen corpses lying in a row, many of them at the time not identified, was the first sight on leaving the train. A few steDs farther on, a half dozen men were met carrying another corpse to add to the list across the creek where the wreck oc curred. Scores of injured and dying lay in groups in the open field, nursing their injuries. The moans of the wounded, mingled with the cries of those who had lost friends, and the sickening sight of blood and carnage and the cries of tne suffering ones, caused the stoutest heaat to quail. The Herolo Work of Rescue. The four uninjured men. Engineer O'Con nor, Fireman "Wyatt, Mail Agent Hays and Passenger Norvall, together with such of the wounded as were able, worked nobly to rescue their unfortunate companions, and with the help 6f the country people who flocked to their assistance and rendered noble aid, they were soon all extricated from the car. To get them out it was neces sary to cut the car away, but all were gotten out In a short time. OChe funeral train left the scene of the wreok about 1 o'clock, all the coaches from this place having gone out to bring in ex cursions. Box cars had to be used. One car contained nine cots, each with a corpse on it. The other cars were all full of in jured on cots. The news spread like wildfire and at every station a orowd of people turned out to learn of the fate of friends. To-night merchants are draping their buildings in black, mingling the mourning with the red, white and blue bunting that had already decorated their places of business. Lucky People Who Missed the Train. John Korvale, of the Charleston National Bank, had juSt stepped out of the fated coaoh to the mail car to get a piece of stringfrom the postal clerk when the wreck occurred, .ue also escaped nuscatnea. con ductor Brobeck, whose run it was, laid off for a holiday, sending Conductor Bob- inson in his place. He usually sits in pass ing the place where the wreck was, in the part of the car where the killed were to count his tickets. He regards this as a providential escape. Judge F. A. Guthrie expected to take the train, but overslept and was saved. The burning of the ties, which caused the train to leave the track, is supposed to have been caused by the falling of hot cinders from a freight train that crossed during the night. The track-walker, whose duty it was to inspect the track daily, had started on his trip as usual from the other end of his section, but had not reached this place. The engineer saw' a slight smoke, but thought it an early morning fog rising from the creek until too late to save the train. A LltUe Child's Fortitude. The company has done everything in iis power for the unfortunate victims of the wreck. "Walter Welcher and wife were go ing with their infant child for a "holiday with friends. Both were killed, and the little child of a year was bruised audits little fingers cut off. It never whimpered, and its great blue eyes did not shed a tear as the surgeons dressed its wounds. It was placed close to its dead mamma and pressed its little hand close to her cold, blood stained cheek, and those who stood by could not repress their tears. The following Is a list of the dead and those who will certainly die, so far as is at tainable at this time. Some few are missing, and a number of others may prove to be mortally wounded.

James Nicely, Charleston, was known to have been on the train, but he has not been seen or heard of since the wreck. It is believed that he is under the wrecked cars. A Postal Clerk's' Story. A special telegram to The Dispatch from Columbus says: George L. Hays, of this city, the postal clerk on the ill-fated train near Charleston, arrived in this city at 10:30 to-night, and gives a graphic descrip tion of the accident. He was In his car when the engine gave the danger signal, and looked out. He noticed the far end of the burning trestle was giving away under the approaching weight of the train, and before lie could realize the trouble his car left the track. The next, a smoker, left the track, rolled over, but again righted itself and remained in that position. No one in his car was in jured. The car in which the passengers were killed and wounded was a day coach, and tho rear one of the train. It left the rails, turned bottom side up, and was completely smashed, the trucks and timbers maiming nnd killing the passengers. The scene when he reached the last coach was one of horror. Piled on top of each other nnd pinioned be neath heavy timbers were the dead and dy ing; groans most heartrending could be heard, mingled with cries for help from the wounded. A Babe In IU Dead Mother's Arms. The most pathetic scene was that of a lit tle babe in the arms of its dead mother, and within a foot of them was the mangled corpse of its grandmother. The fireman of the train secured an ax and cut the timbers away that held the bodies down and took the babe out alive. The child was sent baok to Charleston, and the dead bodies of the parents left with the others. At the time of the accident the train was running at the rate of 25 or 30 miles an hour. "When tho regular (train left the scene of the wreck 12 had died and it was learned later there were six more' fatal Victims. Others are expected to die. THREE MEN WENT DOWN.

"When the party reached the middle of the river the steamer Bowles passed down, tow ing the Gusky excursion boat, The waves capsized the skiff, and -the entire party was thrown Into the river. Mickey and the two young men whose names have not yet been ascertained by anybody were drowned. Tho shores were lined with skiffs, but for some reason not one put off to assist the party struggling in the water, nor did the steamer Bowles stop to look after the welfare of the p eople It had thrown into the water. Young Mickey was not a very good boat man. He was 27 years of age and his parents lived at Latrobe. Mrs. John Pow ers, with whom Mickey was boarding, says the party in the boat were all intoxicated and she will have them arrested for over turning the boat and thus drowning Mickey and the others. Late to-night none of the bodies have been recovered. A MEMBEE OF A PnTSBUBG FIBH Is One of the Killed In the Great Charleston Disaster. SFXOTAti TElEORAM TO MB DISrATCS. CoLtTMBCS, July 4.

"Within a day or two I re ceived a letter from a Democratic politician in Georgia, stating that the Democracy of the South would esteem it a pleasure to vote for Blaine for President, as he was a representee American citizen and believed in .building up the "United States. His views on reciprocity have made him a power that will prove irresistible." "Will Mr. Blaine make a fight to Secure the nomination," was asked, t No Letters From Blaine. "It will not be necessary, as he will be 'the unanimous choice. You can also say that there will be no letters written by him in this campaign. All that we want now is to have him regain his health and he will be nominated and elected by us in 1892. By the way, I took a straw vote coming from Akron and here is the result: Blaine, 89; McKinley, 61; Cleveland, 58; Harrison, 68; Hill, 4. That is the way it is going all round." A dispatch from "Washington says: It is rather surprising to note the unanimity of sentimenfamong the politicians of all par ties, who float occasionally to "Washington from all sections of the country at this sea son, that James G Blaine holds the Eepub licaaPresideital'4amination firmly in the holtawof his hand. Democrats, Republic- ans, Farmers' Alliance men and Mugwumps all unite in the opinion that- Blaine is the big man of the Bepublican party and that he can have the nomination next summer without the asking. There are, of course, prominent Republicans, chiefly office hold ers, who are now and then heard to predict that President Harrison can get his renom ination even should Blaine desire to run, but the administration men are few. Blaine's old-time political friends and ardent admirers who are Consulted by him always before the opening of a political camnafan profess to be entirely ignorant of his inten tions. No Resignation In Sight.' It is admitted that Blaine cannot be a candidate against Harrison while remaining in the Cabinet, and there are no signs as yet ot a ainerence Detween tne .trresiaent ana the Secretary of State as would justify the latter in sending his resignation to the "White HouBe.. The President, it is quite evident, has been for some months jealous of Blaine's great and growing popularity, and is opposed to the action of nis friends and relatives in attempting to claim the credit of some of the more praiseworthy ac complishments of the adntfnistration. But Blaine looks on at the family jealousies and smile-, knowing very well that when it comes to a matter of obtaining credit for public acts and making himself popular with the masses, there is no publio man who can outgeneral James G. Blaine. However, it seems rather idle for the big men of the Republican party to predict Blaine's nomination, while the subject of all the gossip rides about at Bar Harbor wrapped in a heavy overcoat Gout, it Is said, rarely makes such an invalid of a victim as Blaine seems to be, and it will be necessary for him to take some vigorous action soon To Convince the Bepnblleans of the country that he is as strong and vig orous as ever if he expects to succeed in discrediting the reports set afloat and kept afloat by the friends of President Harrison and other candidates that the magnetic man is a physical wreck. It is well known in Washington, where the Blaines have a host of intimate friends, that Mrs. Blaine is determined that her husband shall not risk his health by again enduring the trouble and turmoil of a Presidental campaign, and she has repeatedly said that Mr. Blaine would not be a candidate and that he would not sever his connection with the Harrison administration. - A friend of Mr. Blaine and. his family, moreover, a man whose name is known to everybodywho reads the newspapers, and who was one of Blaine's most active and trusted managers in the conventien of 1888, made the statement in "Washington a few days ago, that within the next six or eight months Mr. Blaine would write a Private Letter to a Friend. statin? that, owmsr to ill-health and a desire to remain true to his trust as Secretary of State in President Harrison's Cabinet, he must beg his friends to consider him in no sense a candidate for the Presidental nomina tion, and to believe the sincerity of his declaration that he would feel obliged to decline the nomination should it be tendered him. . . But, whether Mr. Blame is to be a can- didate or not, the fact cannot be gainsaid by anyone who has visited Washington for the past year or two that the Secretary of State is the one picturesque object oi the Har rison administration. He is the hero of popular favor here as elsewhere, and when he is away from the Capital the publio seem to lose interest in what is going on in the political world. 'WltTJ EEP0ET ABOUT BXAUJS It Is Not True That lie Doesn't Remember Events That Are & Week Old. SPICIAI, TILIOBAJt TO TBI DISPATCH. BarHabbob, July 4. Hews was re ceived here to-day that a dispatch had ap peared in a New York newspaper announc ing that Mr. Blaine was In such a precarious copdition that he was unable to take solid food, and was living almost entirely on milk. It was further stated that his mental condition was alarminir. and that he could not remember an event a week old. Both these statements are exaggeration. It is true that Mr. Blaine is far from being in robust health, bnt he is by no means the mental and physical wreck that the dispatch would indicate. He drives out every day when the weather is pleasant and is seen br hundreds. He is not carried in a "helbless'condition" to his carriage, but gets in and out with scarcely any assistance. As to his inability to remember events a week old, his friends assert it to be without the slightest founda tion. His mind shows no evidence of de cay. The fact that the family desires to keep secluded so that Mr. Blaine may have perfect rest is believed to have led to the sensational report telegraphed to New York. HANNIBAL HAMLIN DEAD. STBICKEN SUDDENLY AT A CAME OF CARDS AT SOS CLUB. He Had Been In Perfect Health Walked the Streets of Bangor With a Firm Step Yesterday Resume of HIS Long Publio Career. SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISrATCS.! Bakoob, July 4. Ex-Vice President Hannibal Hamlin died to-night at 820.

His step as he walked through the street from his stately home on Fifth street was quick and firm, and many remarked as he went by on his apparent improvement in strength. He arrived at tho club at about 3 o'clock, and after conversation with several of the members sat down to a game of pedro. He had not been playing long when he com plained of a severe pain in the back of his left shoulder. The gentlemen present rubbed his sNinlder and annlied stimulants. ana in a sner --ne was mucn Detter. J. ,7 t l " , r; ,. rr He then lighte' Faj, F."W.C3raJf,fr New -BTxmsi')Qf resumed his game. ?

Jxw Hamlin replied "I do." Thereupon the gentlemen gathered around him and removed nim to a lounge near at hand. Dr. Eobinson, who was in the next room, attended him and afterward Dts. Mason and Phillips were called. No pulse was visible for an hour and it was thought that they could not bring him about Finally he revived somewhat and managed to articu late feebly. The doctors worked over him faithfully, and his family was sent for. Soon Mrs. Hamlin, General Charles Hamlin, his son,and his wife, and other members were at his side. All was done for him inhuman power, bnt it failed and he passed away peace fully at 8.20 Hannibal Hamlin was born on a farm near Paris, Oxford county. Me., August 27, 1809.

It was during tbe ex citingdayB of the Harrison- campaign '-and Hamlin stirred up the people'of his district by discussing the Issues of the time with his competitor at every place possible In his district. He was tbe first Haiuo man to in troduce joint discussions In Maine. Buthet failed of -eleotion that time. In 1842 and again In 1844, however, he succeeded. In 3841 he bad become so prominent In tho State that he was chosen to serve out the unexpired term, (four years) of Senator John Fairfield, who had died.

The ceremony that celebrated It hers was one of the grandest ever known in tho city, though there was no pomp or pageant. It was a celebration of the peo ple. The only thing that suffered was the eagle. The orators pulled out a few Of its tail feathers, and the noble bird screamed in true American style. Long before 9 o'clock Friday night the streets were filled with people and the air with hideous noises. At midnight the sounds increased. The boats lying in the Pittsburg harbor added their hoarse whistles to tho pande monium. Every contrivance for making a noise that ever sprang from the brain of a Yankee or the heathen Chinese was drafted into service. "With the dawn to-day the racket only ended. The day rose with all the beauties that nature could inspire. Beyond the few slight showers, the reign of sunshine was unbroken. In fact the rains were so slight that they were tears of joy rather than of sorrow. Great Seenes at Schenley Park. The great celebration at Schenley Park was a success. The dawn had scarce been lifted when the crowds began to arrive, and by night over 133,000 people had passed through beautiful Oakland and enjoyed the richness of Pittsburg's great park. In fact, they learned to love the wonderful gift of Mrs. Schenley, for it is one of those bright charms that have left their impress on earth. The entrance on Forbes street and tho one on Fifth ave nue were open and afforded an easy access to the heart of this great realm of nature. The greatest wonder" was Chief Bigelow's bridge. Though the contract was only let on June 10, yesterday it was open for travel. The floor was not all completed, but enough was finished so that tho great roadway was open for travel, although the sidewalks were un completed. Probably there never was o great a crowd passed over a bridge in so short A time. All day there were continual streams of people going both, ways. In the afternoon before the first shower the crowd was probably at its greatest during the day light celebration, though the night crowd drew far greater. Then the cene from the hill facing. the"rafnii,e was tne greatest ?na ever witnessed! In , Pittsburg. From that point one caught a view of 60,OCO people in one body. j An ImmenurSea of Humanity. Theace of the hill and the plateau at its base were literally covered with human be ings. Away to the left the crowds were the densest. The people were almost piled one on top of another watching the sports. On the right a hall game was in progress and the crowds, almost as great, jostled each other for an unimpeded view of the game. Further up the mil people were seated in rows, watch ing tne amusements tnrougn opera glasses. The crowdswere there piled up tier, on tier until it presented the, idea of a vast natural amphitheater, walled in by the ad joining hills. There was an end less variety of colors, from the rich green of the grass to the bright orange ribbons which here' and there decorated tne hats of the pretty women. Behind them were groups of 'families that had brought their lunches with them and were enjoying a day on the grass where there were no policemen to order them off the green covering. Beyond these happy groups were lines of carriages whose occupants were resting there to take in the gay scene below. On the other side of the hill the scene was almost the counterpart of the first. There were the same unending crowds, while as far as one could see there peeped out bits of white dresses from behind each tree and shrub. The menagerie drew an en thnsiastio crowd oi admirers and the children never grew tired of the elephant wuu its ungiib trappings. xven uown Panther Hollow the natural beauties had been improved by the presence of human ones. Seclusion for Happy Lovers. Here and there lovers could be seen cling ing to rocks and each other. The scene was ono of unalloyed gaiety, spiced with the musio of the bands and the shrill cries of the lemonade hawkers and candy botchers. In short, there was no element of success wanting. The celebration of the year be fore, which was first presented "by TllE Dispatch and then so ably managed by Mayor Gonrley, was a brilliant affair. The one yesterday cast it in the shade. The opening of the many avennes and the build ing of the bridge made the entrance so easy that the city fairly emptied itself into the park. "With all tne facilities of rapid transit the street railways were entirely un able to carry the throngs, though eYery effort was put forth. Each car was decorated with flags and bunting. The Pittsburg Traction Company ran four and five cable coaches, but still standing room was not to be had in the afternoon. TJp to 6. o'clock this road had carried 36,000 passengers, and at night they carried over half as many more. Each Dnqnesne Traction car was crowded to overflowing, hut still "there were thousands who were unaccommodated. Many people walked as far as East Liberty in order to catch a car in which they could find room to stand. "When the first sprinkle of rain came it coked as if it intended to continue in earn lest and thousands hurried to the cars. Mr. alagee In aJNew Bole. For a time C. L. Magee became station master for the Duquesne road at Schenley Park entrance. He crowded people in coaches until they overflowed like West Virginia ballot-boxes. Still thousands re mained in the rain. Great numbers hurried across to Fifth avenue, only to find that the cable cars had stopped. Some walked to the Duquesne car house on Craig street, while others dragged themselves to Shadyside in the hope of catching a car, but for an hour and a half none appeared, and many, dis gusted, walked clear to Smithfield street. At night the scene was worse, and so were the crowds, "When the first rockets of the great fireworks display shot up at least 100,000 people watched itlBut they were not all. Thousands viewed it from Oakland and Bellefield, while from the charming house in Oakland Square hun dreds drank in the scene of beauty.
