o Al T SHERIDAN HAS A RELAPSE. A Very Scvere Recurrence of the Heart Trouble. HIS PHYSICIANS MUCH ALARMED The Patient Rescued From This Oon- dition Only With the Greatest Dif- ficulty—Very Little Hope—No Change at Midnight. Lafe Trembling in the Balance. WasHINGTON, May 20.—General Sheridan’s condition is ex y critical to-night and his death at any moment would not be unex- pected. He had a recurrence of the heart trouble about 5 o'clock this afternoon, ac- companied by a serious sinking spell which gave great alarm to his physicians, who ini- mediately took prompt and powerful meas- wures to rally him., These remedies have only given partial relief, and at 10:30 to-night the four physicians who have been in attend ance are at his side closcly and anxiously watching evory symptom. The action of the heart is still very feblo and responds imper- fectly to the remedies administered to him, The attack came almost without premoni- tion, a slight feeling of faintness being the only thing which warned the physicians tat the crisis might be at hand. Up to about ten minutes to 5 the general $ad been doing very well, and the family were in cheerful spirits at the strength and interests in passing events shown by the sick man. No symptoms of the recoverence of the failure of the valves of the heart to properly closo had appe and as the attack of the day provious had occurred in the morning, it was hoped that he would quickly rally and become better able to meet any future dangers. As soon as it became evident, however, that the valvular failure of the heart had again set in, they saw that their cherished nopes sf a successful day would not be real- ized. Everything possible was done for the tient, but with only impertect succoss. igitalls and whiskey were administered, and finally a blister was put over the heart. These applications stimulated the heart to the increased action, though not to the ex- tent desired. The general’s return to nearly the normal condition in whic ho had been since his illn: was slower than from any of the previous attacks and the doctor said of the attack, “It was pretty severe.” At 8 o'clock he had recovercd somewhat from his attack and was getting on comparatively comfortably. He was still the object of earnest solicitude, however, and the doctors did not leave s side. Mrs. Sheridan also remained constantly near, The attack was unaccompanied by pain and he was conscious and thoroughly aware of the gravity of the situwtion. Tlie following bulletin was issued at 10 p. m. General Sheridan passed a comfortable day, took plenty of nourishment, spoke cheer- fuily and hopefully, and gencraily did well until ten minutes before 5 o'clock this morning, when the action of the heart ‘becamo very feeble, from which condition it has reacted imperfectly. At this time he is suffering neither pain nor distress. He thor- oughly understands, as he and all his family have done from the beginning, the gravity of the sitnation, but is now and has been quite mlzqull, undismayed and hopeful for the (Signed) R. M.

He is the head and front of the gang of searchers who have had most to do with closing the saloons and making life a burden to the drug- gists. He was charged with having ex- torted bush money from a druggist as the price of leaving him alone instead of worry- ng him by searching his vlace for liquor.

Young Salle's Suicide the Denou- ment of Illicit Passion. BRIGHT FUTURE SADLY WRECKED Burglars Make a Raid at Staplehurst ~Sheriff Hamilton's Son Ap- pointed to Succeed Him— Nebraska News, An Affair of the Heart. Fresoxt, Neb., May 26.—Special Telegram to Tne B ~The sudden death of W. R. Salle agent of the Pacific Express company at this place, is still the subject of conversation all over the city. The young man was well con- nected, having influential friends in the man. agement of the company for which he worked, besides being a brother of the agent of the same corporation at Beatrice, in this state. These facts alone would warrant the concentration of tonsiderable thought upon the circumstances attending the young man's death did not the sceming appreciation which, it is known, he cherished for a mar- ried woman of this city lend an air of sus- picion to the occurrence. Salle was twenty-six years of age and had held his position about sixteen months, He had previously acted as messenger for the Pu- cifie, running between Omaha and Chey- enne, a position which he retained for a couple of years. Naturally, Salle is said to have bheen of a quiet, easy and retiring disposition, aud this rm'ulim‘it.v has distingnished him both in his business and social relations since his advent to this city, He seldom associated with those whom he might have readily selected as companions, and seemed disposed to keep his own company and counsel. He walked the strects like a man with a pre- occupied mind, scarcely d('lfrnlng to notico anybody and only recognizing partics when saluted by them on the street and in his place of business. When returning these salutions it would be as if he had been suddenly roused from a study on which his whole mind was engrossed. As a conse- quence, Salle made few acquaintances, and those who through business relations and accidental meetings grew to know him, both by name and occupation, came to the conclusion that ho was certainly a mysterious creature, Some of these, bolder than others, and with a feeling of good fellowship, at in- torvals, endeavored to induce him to abandon his habits of seclusion and reticence and even to ascertain what, if nuythins, l»rcycd upon his mind which they could aid in removing. But all these kindly oftices were declined and resulted to no warming up of any of his ac- quaintances on the part of the young man. Though in & comparatively milder form, the peculiarity was noted almost at the time of his appearance in this city, of recent months it has become more pronounced. It attracted general attention awong all who Xnew, and even people who met_him, in the ordinary course of every day life. It was particularly noted by J. Phil Manz, the lead- ing barber of this place, who ondeavored in a most persistent manner to fathom the canse of the young man’s gloom. But the attempt was not a success. At one time r. Manz thought Salle had said that ho wished be was with his mother, as if absence from hor had caused him to gtieve. But, so far as could be ascertained, there was no reason why his presence was required athome. Then it was asserted that Salle had been pushed to keep up his payments upon prop- erty in Omaha which he had contracted to buy. The land in question is supposed to be six lots in Clifton place, the cost of which was $750 apicce. Contracts for such prop- erty was found among his effects which call for semi-annual payments. A letter was also found from his father in Chillicothe, Mo., offering to advance him $1,000, as if to aid him in his payments, but the offer was coupled _with the announcement that it would rather tighten the lender. This letter, however, bore date of November of last year, but there was nothing among his " correspondence to show that ho hud recently been annoyed by a fear of his inability to make his payments. The more people have considered Lfmsupo- culiarities,the wore of them they have noticed, until finally, they reached the conclusion that Salle had bogun to drink, This inference s drawn from the fact that he had been n in a shaky condition on one or two o sions, though those who knew him bes preceding his death were both unusual and able, He roomed with a druggist, George I. Sellers, who testified that Salle last week acted as if he were to go to bed, contenting hin lounge in the room. Shortly before this he had made a purchase of morphine, which, however, d from his room mate,the in ained from another phar- . Whether the sickness referred to was od by the morphine, or whether he had at all taken the drug has not been dis- closed. Nevertheless, on Wednesday night last ho slept at the Rue house, and slept o soundly that it was4 o'clock inthe after- noon of Thursday when he awoke. His fail- ure to appear at the office on Thursday morning, and the inability of his friends to find him led to o telegram being sent to the headquarters of the Pacific express company in Omaba, and in consequence I, W. Bennett was sent here tolook into matters. The unts were ohecked up and every cent re- ed was accounted for, even a collection hich he had made late Wednesday evening. The fact of Salle's not quom-lngun Thurs- day reached the editor of the Herald, of this ity, and accordingly, yesterday morning, a paragraph appeared noting his mysterious disappearance, Salle, however, was seen Thursday night. He' supped at the Ruwe, ypeared at the New York house about lock, when he registered. He left the hotel, was seen there again a short time later, going out and returning by the ladies’ ance, between 12 and 10'clock in the morning, when he was escorted to his room. Next morning he was found dead. Before registering at the New York he had bought his_morphine, the quantity being twenty grains, thoughi there was no means of deter- mining how large a dose he had taken, When he retired, Salle was not drunk. He had not been on a drunk, and the the hat he had taken the drug tooverzme Tects of excessive liquid inqulgence is therefore untenable. Neiinor is there sufficient reasin believe that he was addicted 5 tne mor- rhine habit, because there 1s no proot that ho had made more than two. purchases of the drug, and if he badn't intended to mako a violent disposition of himself he would have earefully ascertamned from the druggist how large a dose he might tuke without jeopurdiz- ing his life. The fact that he purchased his morphine from another than room- mate showed that he felt the latter would not sell it to him and would perhaps have taken steps to prevent tne consumm tion of his act. The leaving, too, of the key of the office and the combination of the safe on the counter on the night of his disappear- ance, evidences a disposition o in no way hamper his employos by his hasty disappear- ance. That something conduced to the despond- ency of Salle is generally admitted. His itlcss conduct was too pronounced to be who knew him best are many who ex- pla on the ground of his great attach- ment for a married lady in this city, Th attachment has existed for more than a y 1t was most pronounced, and no attempt was made to oonceal it.

Flynn was put in to pitch for the visitors, and was hit hard in the early partof the game. Nice was trimmed up in the same way and his support was wretched. Crooks was particularly off, but the slugging of Beckley and Burch overcame the bad worlk 1n the field. Arundle made a couple of wild throws.

Sow- ders was hit quite hard, but he managed to keep the hits so scattered that thoy yielded fow runs. The crowd took exceptions to one of Umpire Hagan's decisions in the fifth inn- ing, and one excited individual applied a vile name to him, whereupon the umpire gave Manager Brewn five minutes to remove the offender from the grounds, which was done and the game proceeded without any more kicks from the spectators, Veach pitched the oighth inning for St. Paul, when the game was calied as it was raining quite hard, The soore: 1008801 1-9 00 083 00 0 1—4 _St. Paul” 6, Minneapolis 1.

Pavr, Minn., May 26.—[Special Tele- gram to Tne Brr.)—The railroad commis- sioners are receiving communications daily inquiring as to what steps are being taken towards enforcing their order requiring the Northern Pacific and Manitoba roads to re- duce their passenger rates to three cents a mile. To these inquiries the commissioners reply by sending a copy of their circular is- sued, stating that the commission had or- dered both roads to reduce their rates, and would have enforced the order earlicr had not the district court of Ramsey county grant; ay of proceedings to the Man- izoba company until the 19th inst. On that day the supreme court decided in favor of the commissioners and the order 1s now in foree. Notices to that effect eing posted along the line of the Manitoba road. They will all be posted by ght, and unless the cowpany coin] ith the order immedi- ately the commission will bring suit against them, Meanwhile the commit advises travelers 1o tender the ticket age amount of fare to the destination, and if he refuses, to re the offer to the conductor, explaining the reason for not having a tick Should he refuse the passenger may pay under protest the amount asked, and reserv- ing tho right to prosecute the company for violation of the road law cnacted last winter, or stand on his legal vights, and if cjacted the commission believes he may pur- sue the common law remedy in the court of damages for trespass upon his verson, for violation of the railroad or both. ——— Presbyterians, Norch PmiApeLPi, Pa., May 26.—he question of the rey n of the two great bodies of the Preshyterian church, which was the occa- 8ion of such an exciting episode in yester- day’s session of the general assembly, again came up this morniag and was settled so far at thenorthern assembly was concerned by the adoption of a repert: of the conference committee, Tho — assembly after re- commens that the committee of tho conference appointed last year be continued with authority to confer with any similar committee that mignt be ap- pointed by the southern assembly respecting co-operation of the two branches of the church, concluded by declaring that this co- operation in its fullest sense could be ac- complished, only by organization and ex- pressed the fullest confidence in the brethren of the southern assembly.

Grover is Scared Over Governor Hill' Strength in New York and Dis- plays a Flag of Truce - Wash- ington Personals. Republicans on the Tarift. WASHINGTON BUREAU Tie OMATA Bra, 518 FOURTEENTH STRERT, } Wasmxarox, D. C., May 208, It developed in the caucus of the repub- lican members of the house this afternoon that it is not at all certain that thore will be a republican substitute offered to the Mills Dill in the lower branch of congress. On the contrary the speeches indicated that the sub- stitute business will be left entirely to the senate. The first struggle will be over the free wool section, Free wool will be reached within a week after the bill is taken up, and should it be stricken out will take all the life from the measure and may have the effect of its friends permitting ovory conceivable amendment—as many say will be done—and then the bill may receive the support of many republicans and pass. As tho bill now stands it would likely be defeated by a ma- Jority of from two to four. After the dis- cussion under the five-minute rule has pro- gressed a woek or two the republicans will prepare their bill if they think it advisablo. The work under the five-minute rule will progress on Monday next, the pending appro- priation bill standing aside for awhile. Dur- ing the national conventions the tariff is to be shelved and appropriation bills con- sidered. A FIAG OF TRUCR AT THE WIITE IOUSE, There has been considerable surprise ex- pressed by prominent democratic politicians outside of New York at the strange change of front on the part of the administration rds the Hill democracy in that state, The selection of Murray, a warm personal friend of Governor Hill and one of his most ardent henchmwen, as chairman of the New York state committee, is unaccountable to many, especially as at the convention to choose delegates to Chicago the administra- tion machine was supreme and Governor Hill's friends were left in the lurch, A democratic politician of national reputation, and who is close to the side of the president, said to-day, in speaking of the matter, that a careful survey of the state of New Yorl, after Governor Hill's veto of the high license Dbill had convinced Colonel Lamont and the president that the sooner they gave up the idea of decapitating David the better it would be for the administration. The entire foreign clements have rallied so strongly around Governor Hill that any attempt to leave him out of counsideration as a controll- ing element in New York politics would be impossible. Asa result a truce has been called, and the olive branch' of peace has beon extended to Governor Hill and he will have the adn ne suppert 8 & Toe nomination. MISCELLANEOUS, Senators Manderson and Palmer will ba the orators at Arlington on Decoration day. General Paul Vandervoort left this morne ing for Nebraska, He was accompanied by Justice Miller, who will go on to Denver to hold a session of the United States supreme court. General L. W.

Wasi N, Ma —A resolution was adopted in caucus declaring 1t to be the sense of the republicans of the house that the committec on rules be insrtuctod to re- port aresolution assizning days for the cone sideration of all peneral pension legislation ana that the order be made a_continuing one until all legislation is disposed of, Mr. Hauk, of Tenncssee, Toved a resolu- tion which was unanimpusly adopted, to dis- charge the comiiittee on education from onsideration of the Blair educational Dbill, and veport it to the house for considera- “on at the carliest possible day during this session, Members of the ways and means commit- teo next laid before the caucus a formal prop- ition that had been made by Mr, Mills to dispense with debato on the tarift bill under the fiveaninute rule and a long debate en- sued, At the beginning several members favored the acceptance of the proposition, but in the end they were induced to join in making the action of the caucns upon the subject unanimous. It was disclosed during the debate that the general sentiment of the cancus was that if the republican tariff bill rmulated it should fully and om- sent the republican policy~— wation of any bill, and other members argued that it was not reasonable to require the minority party to_submit a bill which necessarily would not fully meet the views of the membors of that party, but must be con- structed with a view to securing sufticient rength for its passage from the majority arty. VAT Nelson of Minnesota, while urging the ation of the bill remarked that ho was Mills bill, and added that 1 relied upon to give a_ republican madority (his fall regardioss of the action of the house on the tariff, Pinally Mr. Brown of Indiana offered the Yfllluwil'u( rosolution, which was unapimously adopted ; Resolved, That it is the sonse of this caucus that the pending tariff bill be taken up and considerad in committes of the whole, under the five minute rulo in the useal wa; soction by section und paragraph by par graph.
