Washington, Feb. 21. The published
statement that Qrover Cleveland had de
termined not to become the Democratic
candidate for the Presidency in 1892, has
led to considerable talk and discussion
here.
The report, Mr. Cleveland's friends
and admirers say, did not come from
sources particularly friendly to the ex
President., ahd they are loth to credit
it. On the other hand, the anti-Cleveland
men seize upon the story eagerly.
Some of Mr. Cleveland's closest friends
in Congress, however, say they know
nothing of any determination on his
part to decline the nomination, and do
not believe it. congressman iracey, ot
New York, says that some time ago Mr.
Cleveland thought of taking himself out
of the field, but friends insisted that ho
should not do so, and that his duty was
to obey the commands of his party, and
o the ex-President agreed not to with
draw and let the future shape itself.
Ex-Secretary Whitney, who Is in the
city, when asked about the published
story that he had a letter from Mr.
Cleveland declining to be a candidate,
aid: "The story is without any founda
tion of truth whatever."

on ex-President Cleveland and asked h' .r
if be intended to write a letter refusing
to allow his name to be used as a candi
date in the next Presidential campaign,
Mr. Cleveland said:
'I have had no such intention. In
point of fact, I am not giving very much
thought to the matter stated in tho dis
patch you show me. I have not said
anything in public or private to lead any
one to believe that I am anxious to ob
tain a renoinination to the Presidency.
'Mv ideas on that subicct are quite
well understood by all with whom I have
conversed and who are at all entitled to
be called my friends.
'If it be true that there has been a
consultation of my Democratic friends
at which conference my name was men
tioned, I know nothing about it.
'1 may say that 1 have such conlldenco
in'the unselfish Democracy of my friends
that whatever they determine on I am
sure will be for the good of the party. I
have not expressed to them any settled
determination touching my relations to
the next campaign, and there has there
fore been no resson tor them to attempt
to have me change such a determiua
tion."

General. ou The Funeral Party to
Snturn Knut To-Mlght.
St. Locis, Feb. 21. -The funeral train
bearing the remains of General Sherman
to his last resting place arrived here at
8 o'clock this morning. There was a
largo crowd at the station, which was
heavily draped in mourning.
The casket and funeral party remained
at the depot until 11 o'clock when the
procession to the cemetery took place.
The city that the dead General loved
so well made his obsequies an event
memorable in the annals of the nation
and a funeral pageant that was worthy
the fame of the .last great triumvirate
of American generals.
Prominent among those in the proces
sion were Hoyt Sherman, jr., of Omaha,
a nephew of the deceased, Col. W. F.
Cody (Buffalo Bill), who served under
General Sherman as a scout on the plains
a quarter ot a century ago, Col. Forsythe
of Fort Leavenworth, Hon. Amos Town
soud from Ohio and Governor A. J. Smith
from Leavenworth, and delegations
from Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Kansas,
Iowa and other states.
The precession was in five divisions
and several miles in length. The num
ber of men in line was fully 25,000. The
following were the local pallbearers:
Military Ma j. -Gen. John Pope, Brevet
Ma j. -Gen. Amos Beck with, Brevet Maj.
Gen. A. J. Smith, Brevet Maj.-Gen.

Chavles Parsons, Byron Sherman, Daniel
P. Harrison, Isaac II. Stlrgeon, Thomas
E. Tutt, R P. Tansey.
Brief funeral services took place at
the grave, and were conducted solely by
Father Sherman, who declined the offers
of co-operation and assistance tendered
by members of the local priesthood, and
said that he desired to use his own dis
cretion with respect to the character of
the services and to perform them him
self.
Amid the booming of artillery the
General was laid to rest beside his wife
and children, and a military guard will
watch the grave.
The funeral train from the East will
leave here at 7 o'clock to-night on the
return trip.
THE POPE'S PLAIN TALK.
lleAcc pts the Republic of Franc aud
ltebuke the Monarch Ists.
Paris, Feb. 21. The Figaro says that
Bishop Freppel has handed to the Pope a
letter signed by the Duo de la Rochefo
:auld, M. Paul de Cassagnac and 45
members of the Right and has had two
audiences with the Pope.
The Pope declared himself in a better
position than any one else to judge as to
the best course, and since he accepted
the republic he saw no reason that any
Catholic, even a bishop, should reject it.
On two points, he said, no misconcep
tion was possible: rirst, that the gov
ernment must be acknowledged, and
second, that the Church must hold aloof
from political parties.
Great Relief for France.
Lonijon, Feb. 21. The French govern
ment is immensely relieved by the de
parture from Paris of the Empress Fred
erick and her daughter, the Princess
Marguerite. Notwithstanding that no
hostile demonstration was made, the au
thorities were in continual apprehension
lest some fanatic should make an at
tempt to injure the Empress. Detectives
in large numbers were employed to keep
a watch for dangerous persons, and any
one who approached the imperial car
riage was closely inspected. While the
Empress was dining at the British em
bassy ten police agents in plain clothes
kept guard outside, and no one was per
mitted to loiter on the street in the
vicinity.

THE FIGHT IN CANADA.
Gold win Smith Replies to an Article
ia
the Government Organ.
Toronto, Ont., Feb. 21. The Empire,
the leading Conservative organ, asserts
that it has learned, upon nndoubted au
thority, that correspondence has been
carried on between the leaders ot the
Liberal party and "their allies or mas
ters" at Washington, with the result
that the long talked of Hitt resolution
or something in the same line will be
passed by the House of Representatives
one week hence in order.to give an air of
veracity to tbe Canadian Liberal claim
that the United States Congress and peo
ple are in favor of bringing about unre
stricted reciprocity.
'This movement." the paper adds.
"will not be sprung until a week before
the election, and such a scheme bears
its own foolishness and futility upon its
face. Ihe United States Congress now
sitting is a moribund body. Motions
passed by it now no more represent pub
lic sentiment than the decrees of the
Shah of Persia. Its life expires in a few
days.
'The Republican party which control it
were hopelessly wiped out at the polls
in November last, and the immense
Democratic majority which will succeed
them will feel themselves in no way
bound by the action of their prede
cessors. No resolutions passed by such
a Congress are worth the paper they are
printed on."
Prof. Goldwln Smith Retaliates.
Toronto, Feb. 21. Goldwin Smith,
replying to an article in the Empire
seeking to implicate him in the farrer
affair, flatly denies all tho allegations,
declaring on his honor that he never
saw or heard of Farrer's pamphlet, and
that he had nothing whatever to do with
its composition.
He charges the Empire with fabrica
tion in its statement respecting his in
struction to the printer, lie denounces
the whole article, so far as he is con
cerned, as a tissue of falsehoods, dis
graceful alike to the editor of the Em
pire, and to his patron and Supporter,
Sir John Macdonald.

YOU
the ef-
Who are suffering from
fects of long continued illness,
YOU whose blood has been devitalized
and nervous system shattered by
. the use of mineral drugs,
YOU who suffer from functional de
rangement, due, perhaps to your
own carelessness, or it may be
caused by unskilled treatment,
YOU who have tried so many doctors.
and taken so many different kinds
of medicine, ; ; .- :
YOU who are discouraged and skeptioal, "
and have lost all hope of a cure,
YOU
are the one who should call npon
Dr. La Fonzo,-
Who is located at
201 Bank Street,
Cornor Meadow Street.
Now if you have been doctored without
avail until hope and faith are gone ; If
yon are tired aud disgusted with the meth
ods that have been so unsuccessfully em
ployed; if you are willing to be guided by
your own judgment; if you are ready to
act for yourself and not to be influenced
further by injudicious friends (?) who ad
vise you to continue in the footsteps fol
lowed by your great grandfather ; if in
short you are not so set in the old ways
that you are not willing to be convinced,
and if you want to be cured, then call on
Dr. La Fonzo and learn something of his
New, Rational, Practical and Scientifio
system of treating the diseases of which
he makes a specialty.
When the sick visit him no examina- .
tion is necessary. No information from -the
patieut. No previous knowledge of
the case.
Every ache, pain and disagreeable feel
ing is poiuted out and described better than
the patients can themselves.
A wonder of scientifio accuracy in di
agnosing disease. He give an intelligent
opinion whether the disease is curable or
not, and if curable, how to cure it.
No person f'-.ould take any more medi- ,
cine, nor 1 .i- any further before con
suiting hi in.
Not only will they be surprised at his
most remarkable knowledge of disease,
the rapidity of his diagnosis and his plain,
concise explanation of its every cause and
effect, but also at the amount of money
and months of suffering he saves the pa
tient, consultation, examination, advice
and services Free.
Polite ushers in attendance, and all are
made to feel welcome.
