London, Jan. 23.—Tho Herald in its
European edition prints the following:
John Kuskin, the great leader In English
critical literature, has become hopelessly
Insane. There has been a great deal ot
whispered talk in the upper art circles of
London for months past concerning Mr.
Ruskin's condition and the peculiar cir-
eumBtancos by which he is environed.
There has been no public comment on tho
matter, because of a general desire among
his moet intimate friends—Swinburne,
Burns Jones and others—to have nothing
said about it. Now, however, the removal
of his publisher from Orpington to Lon-
don, and the change in the sale of Ruskin's
books from the no discount system, which
he instituted, to the ordinarv methods pre-
vailing in the book trade, together with
other circumstances, make further secresy
Impossible. The story of the great man's
break down, as told by a gentleman who
for many years has been on intimate busi-
ness and private relations with Mr. Ruskin,
Is as follows:
breaking for eight tears.
Mr Ruskin's mind haB been gradually
failing for seven or eight years. The first
public suspicion of the fact occurred at Ox-
ford in 1686, when, after delivering several
lectures of a series he broke down during
the delivery of one, became incoherent on
the platform, and greatly exercised the feel-
ings of tho sympathetic audience. He de-
livered no more lectures there, and the mat-
ter was hushed up. His health improved,
and in 1888, the occasion of hia last visit to
London, ho went to the Royal academy, the
Grosvenor and other galleries in company
with Oscar Wilde, and was never more per-
spicacious in comment or brilliant in con-
versation. At this time he said ho should
not immediately return to Brentwood, his
residence in Cumberland, and he took a
place at Sandegate in Kent. He then went
to France, and after spending some time at
Amiens went thence to Florence on a visit
to Miss Alexander, and seemed in good
health. At Venice, however, ho had an at-
tack and broke down mentally. Mr. and
Mrs. Severn, living at Brentwood, were
sent for,and in company with them and two
physicians he was brought home.
kate grbenaway's experience.
Of his life at Brentwood since his return
very little is known. In July last, how-
ever, Miss Katie Greenaway went to visit
him, but her stay was brought to a sudden
termination by an unfortunate occurrence.
In company with Mr. Ruskin she went out
on the Moor back of Brentwood to make
some water-color sketches. In the midst of
her work she noticed her companion was
acting and looking strangely and talking
incohereutly. Suddenly he seized her col-
ors and a large brush and angrily daubed
paints of all Kinds over her sketches. She
ran back to the house and informed Mrs.
Severn, who sent an attendant out for him,
she having haa an attendant in waiting on
him ever since his return.
a confirmed invalid.
Since that time Mr. Rackin has been
necessarily confined to his own house, and
no one outside of the Brentwood people has
eeen him since August. In November re-
ports reached London of his having had a
violent paroxysm, during which he broke
all the windows in his room. Since that
time he has lain in bed continuously. He
refuses all except liquid food, and manifests
no desire to get up. He is stcadjly growing
weaker, and the probability is that if he
ever leaves his bed he at all events will
noyer go out of his houso again.
no specialist employed.
His doctor is Charles Powers, a local
practictioner of middla age. There have
been some rather critical comments among
the specialists of London over the fact that
so eminent a man, whose condition unde-
niably demands the care of a physician in
mental disease, should have a physician
who, while a capable general practitioner,
has not the special ability which his case im-
peratively needs. Mr. Ruskin's family phy-
Bician Is Dr. Aclaods of Oxford, a lifelong
friend: but difference of opinion between
them in 1875 deprived him thereafter of Dr.
Aclands services. Mrs. Severn, Dr. Powers
and two attendantsnow have him in charge,
and all being reticent in the matter very
little is known here as to what goes on.
BUSKIN's onlt relations.
Mrs. Severn, whose name has been men-
tioned so frequently of late, is a lady of 50.
She was the adopted child of an elderly
lady, a cousin of Ruskin, and on the de-
cease of his cousin became Mr. Ruskin's
only relative, with the exception of another
cousin, Captain Ruskin of the army. The
two cousins have, however, not been on
sneaking terms for many years. On the
occasion of Mrs. Severn's marriage with
Severn, a water color artist, Ruskin settled
iElTOJ on Mrs. Severn. He conceived a dis-
like to Severn soon afterward, and for years
Severn has not been permitted to live at
Brentwood, though his wife has dwelt
there continuously. They have lived to-
gether only during the periods of Mr.
Ruskin's visits abroad. Mr. Ruskin has
made a will leaving Brentwood to her.
treasures of brentwood.
The house is a wonderful treasury of art
aind other valuables, whose value can not
be estimated. The owner in twelve years
past has spent over £100,000 on artistic gems
of various kinds, and these, in addition to
his many presents from friends, make a
■wonderful collection. There are contribu-
tions from many great English and foreign
artists, sketches innumerable, and a collec-
tion of precious stones. Among bis re-
markable oossessions are 1300 missals, some
of them illuminated and the rest en
lirisallle, which are worth a small fortuna
in themselves, as thev comprise one-fourth
of the entire number in existence.
Brentwood and its contents comprise
abijut all of Mr. Ruskin's estate; ail his
money has been expended. Tne income
from his books is between £'4000 and £5000
per annum.
STEAMSHIP ERIN.
RUrPOSKD TO BE LOST.
LcDON, Jan. 22.—The national steamer
.Erin, Captain Tysoa, from New York for
Ms Sv.f.kua CHt (to
and there Is hardly any doubt that some
disaster haa befallen her. The feura con-
cerning here safety have been greatly aug-
mented by the report made by the British
steamer Creole, Captain Darling, at Bre-
meu, Irom New Orleans, which on January
9 saw a steamer's life boat adrift, bearing
tho name of Erin. The Creole brought the
boat alongside and took from it ten ash
oars, a mast and sail and a life buoy. A
steamer's bridge and an awning were also
seen floating near the life boat. The Erin
was twenty-four days out from New York
yesterday and had not been spoken. Shu
had a deck load of cattle in pens and a gen-
eral cargo, including cotton below decks.
She carried no passengers. She was com-
manded bv Captain Tyson and has a crew
of sixty of seventy men and about fifteen
cattlemen. She was ono of tho swiftest and
stanchest of tho older vessels of tho Nation-
al line.
HAYTI.
another diplomat demanded.
New York, Jan. 22. — [Special] — The
Times to-dav has the following letters from
Hayti:
"Cape Haytien, Hayti, Jan. 13.—So vio-
lent and undisguised has been the opposi-
tion iu Hayti to the reception of Count Ses-
maisons as French minister that recent ad-
vices from France indicate the Intention of
the government to send in bis place an-
other diplomat, which reported change has
allayed the fears of another revolution. In
Haytlen opinion the presence of the vessels
of the north Atlantio squadron has been
largely Instrumental In effecting this re-
sult, and they profess a belief that the ap-
pearanoe of moral support on the part of
tho United States which thelrpresence gave
would alone have Induced Hippolyte to
brave French displeasure and flatly refuse
to recognize Count Sesmalsons. To this
supposition cau be added the fact of the
American minister placing himself In cable
communication with the state department,
and there exists no doubt that he received
specific instructions how to act In the event
of French persistence in sending Count Ses-
maisons here against the popular will.
objects of suspicion.
This cloud having passed the American
war ships have assumed their former char-
acter as objects of suspicion with designs
on the Island and are regarded with dally
Increasing distrust. The service just ren-
dered, which must be acknowledged to have
been in implied rather than expressed sup-
port, is already totally forgotten. Tho Hay-
tiens have a great facility in "giving to airy
nothings a local habitation and a name,"
and their latest kink is that Admiral Ge-
hardi is prolonging his stay in the hope
that a revolution will happen, when he is
expected to take possession of the country,
mentioning by the way of explanation that
States will have to
; govt
do it
for her.
greatly exercised.
Ridiculous as such an Idea appears, the
Hatyieus aro nevertheless greatly exercised
over it. Their imagination finds another
cause for uneasiness in the belief that Hip-
polyte, during his struggle against Legi-
time, tentatively offered the protectorate
of Hayti to the United States, and he still
cherishes a little weakness about Ameri-
can protection, consequently a feeling of
distrust among his supporters is becoming
apparent; but this bugaboo of the United
States gobbling the island at the first out-
break has the good effect of keeping it in
an abnormal state of quiet. The Keaisage
is at Molost Nichols for dispatches, and the
flagship Galena is at Gonaives for target
practice. The vessels are expected to re-
assemble at Port-au-Prince about the 20th
instant, ami should nothing further occurto
detain it, the squadron will then continue
on its interrupted cruise to the southward.
new stories.
Port-au-Prince, Jan. 22.—[Special]—Tho
stories of the designs of the United States
have taken a new shape iu Hayti and now
appears the tale that the government of
Hippolyte has leased to the Clyde Steam-
ship company of New York eighty acres of
land at St. Nicholas mole for a term of
ninety years. In return for this the com-
pany. so the tale runs, Is to lend Hayti $5,-
000,000 at 6 per cent. It is even averred
that the contract has actually been signed.
what is believed.
It is actually believed here now that a
contract has been signed between the Hay-
tien government and McssrB. Wm. H. Clyde
& Co. of New York, which will result in
establishing a weekly line of steamers be-
tween that city and Haytien ports. The
steamship company, it is said, will receive
various exclusive privileges from tho gov-
ernment, and a grant of land in tbis city
upon which it will erect repair shops. In
return for these concessions it will agree in
the event of a revolution in the island to
cany the government troops free or
at a nominal cost and will use every
effort to secure the cause of the reigning
powers. As a factor for the protection of
American influence theestablishingof such
a line would be all powerful. It would go
far toward Insuring to Hippolyte the peace-
ful possession of his office, and in the event
of an armed uprising against him Its ser-
vices would make a rebel success Impossi-
ble, both by reason of the facilities for rapid
concentration of troops that It would place
at the government's disposal, as well as the
fact that it would cause the foreign mer-
chants to be cautious about lending money
to the rebels, without which their cause
could not live.
america t influence.
American influence is now paramount
here, and the time is ripe for the introduc-
tion of American capital, energy and
brains. There is plenty of money to be
made here, and the government is likely to
look most favorably on Americans coming
to invest money In Hayti, and would proba-
bly grant concessions to our citizens on very
favorable terms, for it is well known that
every dollar coming into the country brings
with it just so much of the all-powerful in-
terest of the United States, an interest
which President Hippolyte will be very glad
to think is behind him in case of trouble
with his own people.
ENGLAND.
russia's territorial acquisition.
London, Jan. 22.—Tho Times warns the
ministry not to lose sight of the fact that
while Portugal and the Soudan aro occupy-
ing popular attention Russia is steadily ex-
tending her boundaries in Asia. Captain
Pakotilea' promotion Is on the way to him
in recognition of his services in ascertain-
ing Russia's right to much disputed terri-
tory on the borders of Bokhara and Afghan-
istan. Many of the natives of both coun-
tries have not recovered from their conster-
nation of finding themselves under the rule
of the czar, but they will without doubt
soon be tauzht to appreciate tho blessings
of civilized rule.
bank of england's project.
Nothing has been published here in re-
gard to the report that the Bank of En-
gland had recently been a heavy purchaser
of . silver bullion and was contemplating
the issue of pound notes redeemable in
silver, as soon as the necessary authority
could be obtained. Careful inquiries in
financial circles this morning, resulted in
showing that a few had asked of the report,
and ibey were incredulous as to its ac-
curacy. The chief official authorities ex-
pressed the opinion that the report was
wholly without foundation In fact. They
asserted positively that the Bank of Kn-
ttland had made no such purchase of bul-
lion, and was -circulating silver now.
Further than tin*, they declared that no
purchases of silver were heing made by tho
London bank. With reference to the al-
leged intention of the bankers of England
to issue notes, attention was drawn to tho
fact that neither the Bank of England nor
t'fkvi Pwk j» swU4 ism
pound notos without special authority to
that end by an act of parliament. It waa
considered doubtful whether so conserva-
tive an institution as the Bank of England
would be making preparations for so radi-
cal a deporture from its previoua history
before definite authority had been securod.

DEEP WATER TALKS.
TCliat tlie Returned Dallas People Say Con-
cerning Galveston Harbor.
Dallas, Tex., Jan. 22.—A News repre-
sentative yeB'erday called on as many of the
Elks who have returned from Galveston as
could be found, the progress of the work gu
the jetties, something in which all Toxas is
interested, being the subject of his inquiry.
He first called on Mayor Connor, whom ho
found up to his eyes in business, but who
said he could spare a few minutes to talk
on deep water or any othsr subject of inter
est to the general public.
"I was very much pleased." proceeded
the mayor, "with tho harbor improvement
at Galveston. It looked to me to be of a
very substantial character, and I believe
that the result will be all that could be
desired. In fact tho indications fully justify
that belief. Tho barricade next to the
island is being backed with sand by wave
action, which 3hows that the deepening of
tho channel is in progreil. There is no
question whatever about the stability of
tho work, and with an adequate appropria-
tion to carry the plans to completion there
is no doubt but that the pi-oject will be a
success. I think it would bo a great
calamity to the nerthwest If the necessary
appropriation should not be allowed. Tho
work in fact should not bo permitted to
stop for a moment, but should go right
along, and every dollar necessary to carry
it to completion should be appropriated."
Thus spoke Mayor Connor, and Mr. E. M.
Reardon was next called upon for his im-
gressions, he too having visited tho jetties.
[a said: "The Improvement of the en-
trance to Galveston harbor made a very
favorablo impression on me. I had no idea
of the magnitude of the work nor of the
substantial manner in which It is being
done. It is now almost out to the bar, and
the eDglneer in charge expects to cross
the bar and get into thirty feet of water
with ono jottv, which Is being built of
Burnett county granite, while with an-
other jetty he expects to go to a still
greater depth. The government engineer
told me yesterday that there is a foot
more water on the bar now than there
was before the jetty was started. A vessel
the other day crossed it drawing 14% feet
and laden with 6000 bales of cotton. I think
there Is no doubt about the solution of the
deep water problem at Galveston,all needed
being the necessary appropriation to carry
on the work which has been so well com-
menced. The deepening of the bar seemed
to me to be not only feasible but an easy
matter if tho plans are carried out, and I
think that the government, concerned as It
is in the welfare of all sections, should seo
that they Bre carried out. If any trouble
then should be, I apprehend that it will
be confined to differences In Texas. My
opinion is that whatever will help Gal-
veston will also help Dallas, because closa
tide water never has hurt any people.
Without seeing the jetties it is impossible
to form any idea of tho work that is being
done. The necessary appropriations to
finish tho work, should be made. It is im-
possible to see the work without fooling
convinced that the engineers in charge of
it understand thelrbosiness."
Mr. W. K. Wheelock, another of the Elks
who visited t*ha jetties,1 said': "I had not
been to Galveston tor several years, and I
found that the ampuut of work done in the
meantime on tha breakwater was simply
wonderful. Indeed I was agreeably sur-
prised at its magnitude. Regarding our
visit to Houstoa I am prepared to say that
wo organized there the finest lodge of Elks
in the stata.

that something of the kind should be done
here. The low price of admission, fifty

thing for the cause.
