TION OF PHYSICIANS THIS MORN ‘Major Ben: Perley Poore, whose sudden attack of Mlness was mentioned in the Sra yesterday, was somewhat better this morning. Drs, Baxter and Harrison held a consultation ac the Ebbitt House this morning. Afterward Dr. Baxter told a STaR reporter that Major Poore was very weak, but that hiscondition had improved since yesterday, and that if the tinprovernent continued as it had begun he would soon be on the street again, He could not venture a prediction, however, that this would be the case, The patieht may at any time grow worse again, His condition is quite eritical. W1U a man of ils age nd physical condition an attack of this sort is vers dangerous, Major Poore has been suffering from Bright's disease for the past two years. Dr. Baxter has been attending bim constantly, and by great watehfulness the disease has beeh kept trom ad- cing rapidly. During ail this time his diet and ise and his entire manner of life have had to be carefully guarded to keep back the disease. Yesterday he went about a great deal in the heat, and finally climbing the north steps of the Capitol in the hot sun completely prostrated him, and he was at first unconscious. He had already'recelved medical attention from a phystelan near by when Drs. Baxter and Harrison reached the Capitol, but {t was some Lime before they could revive him'sut- ficiently wo admit of his belng removed to his rooms at the Ebbitt. He improved somewhat after being taken to the hotel, and, under careful atten- ton, seemed to have revived ‘considerably at the time the consultation was held this morning. He 43 perfectly conscious and 1s cheerful. Mrs. Poore 1s with her husband. AUS o'clock this afternoon another consultation will be held. ~—____se¢—____ ‘The Undervaluation of Imports. SESSION OF TUE U. §, SENATE COMMITTEE IN CHICAGO. Senators Beck and Allison, of the Senate com- mittee on the undervaluation of imports, who have made a very thorough investigation of the subject, were collecting information at theChicago custom-house yesterday. A number of merchants and importers gave testimony on the subject. It was generally agreed that the system of merchant appraisers shouid be abolished. Mr. A. W. Cobb, an importer, stated that the method of making allowance for damaged goods was very defective. Senator Beck mentioned the fact that a Boston firm had altogether forsaken the port in that city, and entered at New York, because they could get 4 reduction of 10 per cent for the asking there. tee.

Mr. Swan went to New York in the hope of making some other ar- rangement for the disposal of the cattle. While there he received a cablegram purporting to be signed by the agent of tne Scoteh syndicate, offer- ing him a large advance beyond the price at which the cattle had originally been contracted for. Mr. Swan at once cabled his acceptance of the offer. He then telegraphed to his partuers, offering them the price which Was originally to be paid by the syndicate. They accepted the proposition, and all ‘the cattle came into his possession. Then he noti- fed the syndicate that he was ready to deliver the cattle at the price offered by their agent, and re- ceived a y saying that they had made no such offer, and knew nothing of the existence of the nt named. au seatth failed to reveal his Whereabouts, and Mr. Swan Was obliged to dispose Of the cattle at a heav He Smashed St. Theresa’s Statue.
