GRESHAM MAY RESIGN
Kumors of a Possible Cabi
net Vacancy.
WILL RESUME HIS POSITION
Cares or the Office Weigh Heavily Upon
Him, and He Will Take a Mucli
Needed Rest.
New York, April 2. A morning
paper has the' following special from
Washington: Another vacancy in the
cabinet, it is rumored, may occur with
in the next few weeks. Secretary Gresh
am is the official who is Blated for volun
tary retirement. The report comes
from several of his close friends to
whom, it is said, he has more than once
expressed his desire to return to the
practice of law, if not to the bench.
Judge Gresham, it is stated, has not
found the state department as congenial
. LI . ....... V . ,1 n .
Mrs. Gresham has not been altogether
pleased with the breaking of home ties
made necessary by her removal to
Washington. Both the secretary and
his wife have told intimate acquaint
ances of their mutual desire to return to
Illinois..
The rumor of Mr. Gresham's retire
ment, however, is not based alone on
these exchanges of confidence, bnt on
more direct statements regarding his in
tentions within the near, future. . Judge.
Gresham's relations with the president
have been,- so far as known, of tbe pleas
antest. No member of the cabinet has
'"been more trusted by Mr. Cleveland, so
that his desire for retirement from office
in the near future cannot be ascribed to
any friction with bis chief. It is hinted,
however, that Judge Gresham has felt
somewhat aggrieved over the disinclina
tion of the cabinet to support him in
the vigorous foreign policy which he be
lieves would win for him great popular
ity, and possibly make' him a favorite
for the presidency. It may be that ex
tinguished hopes in this direction have
had a strong influence on him in reach
ing the conclusion that he would prefer
to retire, but this idea is scouted by his
friends, who assert that Judge Gresham
has not been moved by any such con
siderations. They say that he has sim
ply consulted his wife's pleasure and his
own tastes in concluding to leave Wash
ington within a short time.
Oresham'i Ftlenai Say He Will Not
Leave the Cabinet.
Washington, April 2. A vigorous
denial is made in administration circles
of the story that Secretary Gresham is
about to resign. The secretary himself
will not be interviewed, not caring to
dignify the report by a denial. It is a
fact that the secretary has been in ill
health for some time, and a recent at
tack of neuralgia of the stomach left him
much debilitated. He has been unable
. to secure a rest in Washington owing to
the frequency with which delicate and
embarrassing diplomatic questions have
been forced upon him, and it is probable
he will yield to the solicitations of his
family and friends so iar as to take a
short leave of absence and go to his
farm in Indiana, and, perhaps, stop for

Going to JLakewood.
. Washington, April 2. Gresham will
shortly go to Lakewood," N. J., to recup
erate from the effects of the grippe,
which he suffered during the winter.
and which has left him too weak to
stand the strain resulting from the dip
lomatic incidents which have recently
arisen. . : - -

filling the largest churches here, and the
story . of: her life- is far from ordinary.
Her name is Mollie Meriman,a daughter
of D. H. Meriman, a circuit-rider in the
M. E. church, South. - c
When 3 years old an attack of scarlet
fever left her apparently dead. She was
prepared for the grave and the coffin had
been lowered, when the frantic mother
refused to be quieted until she saw her
baby once more. ' . When the coffin was
opened, the physician, who was present,
noticed something unusual in the ap
pearance of the supposed corpse. It was
taken out and found to be alive.-7 But
never afterwards was the girl free a day
from violent pain. Scrofula existed in
its most repulsive form for years. When
she was 16 scarlet fever again attacked
her, and she once more apparently died
and would have been buried but for ' the
mother. After six days she was resus
citated.
At the age of 18 she was thrown from
a carriage and sustained a sprained
ankle, when she went into convulsions.
She sometimes bad as many as 150 in a
single day. While in this condition she
was taken ill with congestion of the
lungs, and from May to August was un
conscious, ine nrst day that she was
able to walk she fell and threw the
sprained ankle. back into place, and then
felt that she 'must preach the gospel.
Since last September 1000 persons have
been converted through her efforts.
Her height Is just 4 feet ten inches, and
she weighs 72 pounds. She holds as
many as tour services a day, traveling
60 miles on horseback and talking again
at night.
. The War In Manchuria. '
San FeaUcisco, April 2. Advices have
been received by the steamer Rio Ja
neiro, from the Associated Frees corre
spondent at Tokio, under date of March
17, as follows : ' ... : !
Tbe plan of the latest campaign in
Manchuria is now clearly explained,
though few important facts are added to
those previously reported. For the first
time since the capture of Ping-Yang, the
movements of the Japanese troops are
directed by a soldier skilled in the science
of modern warfare; and tbe same leader
that won the earliest of the series of Vic
tories now conducts the operation in tbe
vallev of the Liao river.
General Nodzu, promoted to the high
est grade of the army, assumed control
in February of the first division, com
manded by Lieutenant-General Yamaji,
in addition to bis own the fifth and the
third, of which Lieutenant-General Kat
surais the chief. His scheme was to di
vide the attention of the Chinese armies
in Manchuria, and keep them as far
apart as possible, while he concentrated
his forces upon the several points of at
tack.
Lieutenant-General Yamaji was first
ordered to take the field. About 8000 of
his division marched from' Kaiping on
February 24, seized a' strong Chinese
position some 12 miles southeast of Ying
Kow, and by their threatening attitude,
prevented General Sung from sending
northward any large' number of . bis
troops encamped at the mouth of the
Liaj river.- ' -
On February 28 Lieutenant-General
Katsura, with 8000 of the third division,
started from , Hai-Cheng to drive the
Manchuria forces of General Ito toward
Liao Yang. For two days General Ito
retreated in much disorder, and when at
a distance of 18 miles from Hai-Cheng,
General, Katsura suddenly turned and
led his men southward again,- but by
another road, which brought him to Old
New Chwang on the 4th of March.
Meanwhile, General Nodzu had crossed
from Hai-Cheng to New Chwang, in a
straight line, at the head of 7000 of tbe
fifth division. A combined assualt on
the position was made on March 5, and
at 2 o'clock in the aiteruonn the north
ern half was in the hands of the Japan
ese." Several thousand of the defenders, be
longing to the army of General Wu, fled
through the southern gates toward Ying
JS.ow and lien-Ohwang-Lei. They would
have been followed by the entire body,

had not the line of retreat been blocked
by a cavalry regiment. The Chinese
were now a disorganized rabble: Ap
parently unaware that they might save
themselves by surrendering, they ran
into the houses and kept up a persistent
fire upon tbe Japanese until late at
night, when they were brought to sub
mission by blowing up many of the
buildings in which they had barricaded
themselves. Nearly 2000 were supposed
to have been killed and an equal number
wounded or taken prisoners.
Tbe spoils were of great value, Thou
sands of horses were found, more than
enough to satisfy the needs of the whole
invading army. One foreigner, a mis
sionary, still remained in the city and
his safety was duly provided for.
"Perhaps you would not think so, but
a very large proportion of the diseases
1 in New York - comes : from' carleesnes
about catching cold,"says Dr. Cyrus Ed
son. ' "It is such a simple thing and so
common that very few people, unless it
is a case of pneumonia, pay any atten
tion to tbe cold. New York is one of
the healthiest places on tbe Atlantic
Coast and yet there are a great many
cases of catarrh and consumption which
have their origin in this neglect of the
simplest precaution of every day '"fife.
Tbe most sensible advice is, when you
have one get rid of it as soon as possible.
By all means do not neglect it." Dr. Ed
son does not tell you how to cure a cold
but we will. It" will relieve' the .'lungs,'
aid' expectoration, open the secretions
and soon effect a permanent cure. 50
