WasnINGTON BUrEAu TarE OMARA Bre, } 513 FOURTERNTH STRERT, WasniNaroN. D. C., June 0. General Sheridan has had several relapses during the week which brought him to death’s door, yet he has been able to rally and his physicians have at intervals put forth encouraring bulletins, notwithstanding the unfavorable reports. To-day, after the collapse of last night, General Sheridan's ondition is in no wise improved. The ebb and flow of his disease is what has been cus- tomary in all such cases, and thoso outside of his immediate family circle have no real hope of his recovery. The wonder has been , that he has been able to last so long. Stories come from the Sheridan nouse that the gen- eral was able to exhibit an interest in the proceadings at St. Louis; that he inquired who had beeu nominated and whether the yMills bill had been endorsed. This is a sample of the talk which is put out to de- ceive. A man who has been fighting against the terrible attacks that General Sheridan las been suffering from cares very little mbout the Mills bill, as indeed do many of those who are in perfect health, Doctors of great reputation, but who are not con- nected with the case, say that everything is being done for General Sheridan by his phy- siciuns that is known to medical service, and that it is a very encouraging feature of the case, professionally speaking to be able to . record the fact thai there has been no quar- “ roling or outside criticism among the pro- fessional attendants. The general has not been able to gain any during the past seven days, each relapse leaving him in a wor condition after his apparent recovery from At, than before, ABBAM 8. HEWITT ON THE NOMINATIONS, Yesterday Mayor Hewitt was asked very ;bluntly by a prominent democrat in New YYork if he would support the democratic national ticket. He said that he knew Mr. Cleveland was mourning to be re-nominated and six months ago he knew that Allen G Thurman would be Mr. Cleveland's running mate. “I will not say,”” he continued, Stwhether I will support the ticket or not,but it ‘does seem a little strange that Mr. Cleve- Jand should select Mr. Thurman at this time as the vice presidential candidate in the face of the fact that he refused to honor Mr. Thurman with any position of ‘trust after his clection to the presidency.: !'Some weeks after the election of 1384 I was “summoned to Albany by Mr. Cleveland. He _told me he was thinking over various names | which had been presented to him for cabinet places, and he asked me if I had any name “%0 suggest. Ismd: ‘Mr. President, the man whom you should place at the head of your . cabinotis Allen G. Thurman.' Cleveland’s xeply was, ‘He is too old.’ I said, ‘No, he is . mot too old. Thurman is good for twenty wears, and besides his mental faculties are unimpaired.’ Cleveland then said ‘But his Aabits arc bad.” My response to the exura- ordinary statement was, ‘Mr. President, if “wou think that why don’t you send some- ody to Columbus to find out what Mr. Thurman’s personal hubits are.’ And to my surprise he replied, ‘I will do so,’ and he ‘ E\.tuuu,v sent a detective to find out’ if Allen . Thurman ever took a drink of whisky or ‘mot. Things have changed since 1584." eing pressed, however, as to whether he vouid support Mr. Cleveland, Mayor Hewitt eclined positively to define his position. THE FLAX SEED DEBATE One of the most interesting debates had @uring the consideration of the tanff bill under the five minute rule took place in_the house this afternoon. It was the proposition 10 place flax sced on the freo | > resent a duty on flax s ushel, and to prevent the foreign article to pome into the United States free is a propo- iiunn which vitally effects every citizen and armer in Nebraska, Towa, Dakota, and, in lact the entire northwest. Nearly all of the members from the northwestern states wok rt in the debate, the Towa and Kansas ‘Erun, and two or three of the Minnesota mem- ors being exceedingly earnest in their talks, Delegate Gifford of Dakota said that should lax sced be put on the free list 1t would cost ghe farmers of his territory at least $1,000,000 Bvery year, and that it would ruin the pro- uct. He said that he had presented housands of petitions from his constituents gainst the proposition and that they had een referred to the committee on ways and #ud means, but were not examined by the pommittee. + .Mr. Struble of Sioux City read the riot act Ao such demagogues as Weaver of Iowa and _Anderson of the same state. The latter two embers, of course, were in favor of free ax seed. Mr. Struble said that if the dem- crats thought the farmers only took an in- rest in the manufactured articles affected )y the Mills tariff bill they were badly mis- ken and they would walke up to their error it the polls in November, He said this was he most serious thing to the farmers ever oposed in congress. Mr. Lind of Minne- ta, also a republican, made i most cloquent ppcal to the house to vote down the prov n. He said that there is a duty of 25 cents gallon levied by the present law on flax ped oil. Every bushel of seed makes five and rno-)lulf gallons of oil, There is a duty of 20 its a bushel on the flaxseed, and it is easy be seen, therefore, that the duty is dispro- rtionate. The present law does an injus- jce to the farmers in fayor of the manufuc- Burers. Last year not a gallon of linsced oil was imported, while over five hundred thou- nd bushels of flaxseed were imported. The nly defense the democrats could make to @ proposition to abolish the duvty on flaxseed Was that there are other countries which w better flaxsced than this country and K::t flax growing in the United States is be- poming unpopular, They did not deny the mssertion that if flaxseed is placed on the p 1ist it will drive flax raising out of the wited States. There was great applause on e democratic side when Bland of Missouri, ue of the leading free traders, declared that he had the power he would abolish the uties on every article manufactured in the nited States and everything grown on the wrm. The democrats, beingin the majority, ad thoir way, and ulthough every republi n voted against the proposition, free flax- F:m‘ was adopted in the bill, ¢ PAGES, AND THEIR POLITICS, « Lo little page boys who do errauds on the foors of congress are quite as susce) le to Bdministrative d influenc 0 older politiciuns.

Wasmisarox, June 8. —The acting attorney general to-day sent to the house revised es- timates aggregating $1,670,000 for certain ox- penses of the United Statos conrts for the fiscal year 1859, In explanation of this ro- vision the acting attorney general says the department, in estimating the expenses of the United States courte for 1889, followed the custom formerly in practice without being aware that the estimate which had been made for the fiscal year 1888 uld prove to be far below the actual necessitics. vs the increased expenses tor the pres- scal year grew out of an increased ac- tivity in the prosecntion of timber trespass- ers, of increasod business from the Indian territory, and of the execution of laws against polygamy and its kindred crimes. He says it is believed that during the com- ing fisenl year there will be a recurrence of similar causes, creating similar expens that are not within the control of the attor- ney general. For this reason the acting at- torney general asks that the revised esti- mates be considered. Condition of Crops. WasHiNaToN, June 9.—The following is the crop report issued by the department of agriculture: There was some reduction in seeding the winter wheat arca in some states, though the ayerage breadth of all was but slightly reduced. In the east and south there was no material loss from freezing, but_in sev eral western states it was considerable. The apparent reduction of the breadth of winter wheat, as compared with that of last about one and three-fourths millions he pereentage of reduction for the winter wheat, region is placed at 7.2 per cent. It is 18 in Illinois, 14 in Ohio, 10 in Michigan and 9 in Indiana. This is in com- parison with the reduced ares harvested ast year. There has been an increase of the area of spring wheat in Dakota and in the territories further west, but a decrease in Towa, Wisconsin and Minnesota, making the average for the spring wheat region of one per cent. The area of spring wheat _is apparently shghtly belows thirty six million acres. There is a slight local change of the condition of winter wheat; some improvement in New York and Pennsylvania, and a marked decline in Missouri, minor changes of states eclsewhere making the average 73.3 against 73.1 in May. The loss by the overflow of the Mississippi in 1llinois offsets in part the improvement in the other counties in Ohio. Indiana, Michigan and Kansas the average condition is nearly the same as in May. The average of barley is nearly the same as last year. New York and Wisconsin are credited with an increase of 1 per cent, Minnesota with 2, Dakota with 10, Missouri and California report a small re- 5 The condition of barly averages 88, "The area of rye is p last year.

WasmixGroy, June 9.—The president has approved the action of congress in providing that pensions heretofore or hereafter granted to widows of soldi of the war of the rebel- lion shall commence at the date of the death of their husbands.

Little Change in Domestic or Foreign Financial Affairs, Cricaco, Juue 9.—[Special Telegram to Tur Bee.|—Local fivancial affairs remain in about the same condition as noted one week ago. Money is in good demand from all sources and bankors are well supglied with loanable funds. Borrowers are readily ac- commodated, when able to present good col- laterals, at reasonable rates of interest. The rather free movement of grain to the large shipping centers has slightly increased the movement of money ta the interior, though largely through the commission houses, The speculative trade in grain and provisions has slightly increased the demand for money, but there is no particular pressure from that quarter, confined to banking institutions, which have the bulk of speculative accounts. Lumber dealers were moderate borrowers, but presented chicfly short date paper. Wholesale merchants borrowed only moder- ate amonnts, and were readily favored with all accommodations requested. Rates of in- terest were steady and unchanged at 5@5'{ per cent on call, and 5i(@7 per cent on time loans. In eastern markets money continues plenty, and borrowers are accommodated upon presenting good names. [nterest rates ranged at 134(@214 per cent on call and 315@6 per cent on prime mereantile paper. Advices from forcign financial centers in- dicated a further accumulation of funds in governmental banks and loaning rates were more favorable to buyers. The bank of En- gland has reduced its discount rate to 244 per cent, and the demand for money appears to be small even at reduced rates. New York exchange was in moderate sup- ply during the past woek and the demand was only far. The warket was not quite so strong and prices were more favorable to sellers. Sales were made at40@i0c premium 1,000, and closed quiet at 4dc. Foreign iange was in fair demand throughout the weelt,gand the offerings were light. The market ruled steady and” firm. Shippers’ 60 documentary bills on London changed hands at $4.85%(@4.55% and the market closed steady at §4.84%; (04.85. The New York stock market was moder- ately active. An unsettled and weak feeling prevailed during the greater portion of the timenand prices averaged lower for leading properties. The trading, as for some time past, was confined to specialties, The arnings of the railronds, while showing s0me improvement aré not very satisfactory to operators on the long side of the market. Apparently there is a belief that the crops in some scetions of the west will fall below the returns of last year, and that freight compli- cations between leading lines will result in a decrease in the earnings during the shmmer months. The low rate of freight by the water routes also hasisome effect, inasmuch s cosiderable propérty-is now being di- verted from the railroads. Wall street oper- ators were the principle traders—mainly in St. Pauland Reading—and_outside specula- tions were not disposed to<io much and for- warded very few ordcrs, cither to purchase orsell. The aggregate’ shles on the New York stock exchange for the week were T47,000 shar Quite a good speculative business was transacted in_produce eircles during tne week, though the fecling. was considerably unsettled and prices riled with more than the usual irtegularity within a moderate range. The influences brought to bear on the course of the markets were mainly locai and a zood share of the business was credited 10 the “‘room trading” element. Reports regarding growing crops ar what conflicting, though in the aggr show little changze. The weather as a rule has been more favorable for crops, and the outlook is favorable for fair yields, especially for spring sown. Advices trom abroad have not been very encouraging to sellers and do- tic markets did not develop any partic trength. The supplics of grain show a asc of wheat and_barley, while stocks of corn, oats and have been somewhat enlarged in points named in the “visible.” Cvidently supplies of all kinds of nds have been materially re- duced. The receipts of grain at all the prin- cipal western markets have been liberal and arrivals at the seaboard show some improve- ment. The shipments of grain from all western markets were quite liberal. The export of breadstuffs were slightly increased and included some grain accepted on June contracts. Advices from ubroad are not par- ticularly favorable to growing crops though the general complaint is backwardness, owing to cold spring weather. Provi a general way were stronger and prices ay- eraged higher, due mainly toa decreased supply of ho of live stock at the principal western markets have been moderate. The packing of the west is pro- gressing favorably and the aggregate re- turns show a slight decrease compared with those of a yoar ago. — AN INI:_:;.\I(IIN SCHEME, A Bold At ap Mme, Adeline Patti he Plot Failed.

RELENTLESS AS WOLVES Four Trials, One Sentence For Life and-Stil THE VILLAINS PURSUED HIM. Conspiracy Exposed and a Young Man's Innocence Triumphantly Vindicated—Fatal Wreck Near Monteith, Saved at Last. Guexwoon, la, June 9.—(Special Tele- gram to Tue Bee.]—On the fourth trial of Jasper N. Clouser cha rged with the murder of William Doran, the jury last night at the close of an eight day's contest found a ver- dict of acquittal within five minutes of the time they rea ched the jury room. It always has been believed here that the prosecution was a conspiracy, and this time the fact was proved beyond all reasonable doubt. Jogeph McCrary was convicted of this crime in March 1870, and sentenced for life. About two years and a half after his incarceration he began to claim that Clouser was an accomplice in the crime and in fact did the shooting. It was the result of a scheme for Clouser's conviction. MeCrary was counselled and assisted by outside parties who had a grudge against Clouser and who, it appears, promised Me- Crary in writing that if Clouser could be convicted they would use their influence to o pardon. These ties lied to Sheriff Fardnell about the facts in the case, and leading him to believe in tho guilt of Clouser secured his powerful assistance in the prosecution. In pursuance of the ar- rangement thus formed Clouser was ar- rested on Junoe 13, 1883, and from that da until this, Saturday, June 9, 1883, he has never had a moment's liberty. The f trial was had before Judge Reed in Octobe 1883, and the verdict set_aside as not su tained by the evidence. The new trial was had before Judge Loofbourow and Clouser was sentenced for life. "These two trials e: stea all tne resources Clousers’ people had, but Stone & Gillaid and E. Starbuck, having abiding confidence in the innocence of Clouser, cirried the case to the supreme court, where it was reversed. At the O tober term, 188, of our distri court.

Why Delegate O'Brien's Extradition Treaty Resolution Was Suppressed, S1. PAvr, Minn,, June 8.—[Special Tele- gram o Tk Bre.]—Delegate C. D. O'Brien to-day tells how his resolution rolative to the extradition treaty failed to come beforo the democratic convention. The text of the reso. lution prepared by Mr. O'Brien is as follows: A just consideration of the intorests of our foreign born citizens requires that the extra- dition treaty now pending in the senate be tween the United States and Great Britain be carefully revised so that no person shall be surrendered thereunder except for crimes named in said treaty, and that its provisions shall in 1o wise apply to agrarian or political offe 4 Mr. O'Brien, who was groatly interosted in the matter, says: “At a meeting of the full committee Wednesday evening, the reso- lution was brought up by Mr. Stronger and it was endrsed and approved, but when they came to look for the resolution, Mr. Watter- son, who was chairman of tho sub-commit- tee, claimed that he had lost or mislaid it. The next day Governor Abbott changed the form of the resolution and it wus signed by on Abbott, John Dymond, A.E. Bearcr and William H. Sims. It was loft with Sims to be signed and incorporated with the othor resolutions. When the convention met and before it was called to order, Sims brought the resolutions to the Minnesota delegation with a_pencil endorsement signed by Henry Watterson and A. P. Gorman, saying ‘not to be passod.’ It was shown to me by Sims, and the endorsement was torn off. I then announced that I would present the resolu- tion, and when the report of the committee was adopted 1 rose to offer it, but was cut. I was told by a delegate who stood beside the chairman thut Senator Gorman told him that I was not to be recognized. Chairman Collins followed Gorman’s instructions and aid 80 under the express order of Watterson and the Maryland senator. The Abbot reso- lution was “submitted to P. A. Collins and approved by him. It was presented to the sub-committee by me and to Watterson and Gorman and approved by each, and 1 believe that Watterson purposely supprossed it. 1 want every citizen of the United States to learn that 'on account of the conduct of Wat- terson and Gorman and concurrent obedi- ence of orders from them by Chairman Col- lins, the members of the democratic national couvention were deprived of expressing views on the mogt important extradition treaty that has ever been proposed cbetween Great Britian and _the United States and my countrymen were denied the opportunity of appealing to their American citizens in their present struggle for liberty.” bl ] Nebraska and Iowa Pensions, WASHINGTON, June 9.—[Special Telegram to Tne 1 The following pensions were granted Nebraskans to-day: Increase—Ben- jamin Corlyn, Tobias; James Glenn, Arapa- hoe; Charles E.

FLAX FOR THE FREE LIST It Causes @ Long Discussion in the House. WESTERN MEMBERS AGAINST IT The Debate Drifts Into a Talk om Trusts and Messrs. Rayner and Reed Indulge in a Little Tilt, The Tariff Discussion. s Wasmxaroy, June 9.—In the house this morning, on motion of Mr. Weaver of Towa, the bill was passed for the erection of a pub- lic building at Ottumwa, Ia., at a cost of $40,000, The president has signed the act making appropriations to supply the deficiency in the appropriation for expenses in collecting cus- toms, . Resolutions setting apart Wodnesday, June 13, for the consideration of tho bill granting arrears of pensions was referred to the com- mittee on rules, The house then went into committee of the wholeon the tarift bill, the pending para- graph being that relating to flax. Mr. Brown of Indiana argued in favor of maintaining the existing duty on flax. Messrs. Gifford of Dakota and Buchanan of New Jersey and Mills defended the bill and deprecated the efforts made by the other side to distort overy attempt at revision iuto abuse of the poor. Mr. Lind of Minnesota, a republican who heretofore supported the bill, made a strong plea for the protection of the lin- seed oil industry, which would be, be said, injuriously affocted by| the removal of the existing duty on linseed. Mr. Mills said the flax industry in Ken- tucky had almost disappeared bocauso it was not profitable, or rather because other crops were more profitable, and wheat would drive flax out of Indiana as it had out of Kentucky. His carnest sympathies were with down- trodden Ireland. Mr. I'unstone of Kansas called out, “Under free trade England,” Mr., Mills replied that it was under the merciless carpet baggers of England and of the great centralized powers of England. He would be unwilling to help even Ircland at the expense of his fellow countrymen, but i that case he could help Ircland, and at the same time help his own people. When we 00k the product of Ireland’s labor we heiped lu-lr just in proportion as wo helped our- selyes. Mr. Russell of Massachusetts asserted not a pound of flax raised in lowa, Indiana or Kentucky could be used in his distriot. Every dollar's worth of raw material they used was in the unproved article and every penny of duty paid upon flax was a tax upon their pro- duction, In the interest of production it was necessary that flax and all the fibres of flax should be placed upon the free list. Mr. Brown of indiana in gencral terms criticized the bl for placing the production of the farmers of the west upon the free Lisy, while it retained protection upon the manu- factnred products of the east, “The motion to strike out tho clause of plac- ing flax seed on the free list was defeated— 02 to 74 Mr. Ragner of Maryland ridiculed the ref- crence in Reed’s tariff speech to trusts, and that gentleman’s declaration that outside of the patent ofice there were no trusts i this country and never could be. Ho charged the republican party with having been, from the day of éts existence, friendly to combina- tions and the capital that composed them.' He defied the republican party to place in its national platform as the democrats had done —a plank announcing its open antagonism to combinations, which, one by one, were draine ing te life blood of the country. Not a man on the other side would have the moral cour~ age Lo oppose trusts, who were seyding re-! publicans to the house of representatives in the interest of manufacturers against con- sumers and laboring men, - Mr. Reed of Maine said he had heard such orations us the gentleman’s upon other s jects. That kind of oratory was cheap.

The gentle- men on the other side proposed to destroy ving industries, and they ap- pealed to the people and rent the atmosphere with their outeries. Mr. Wilson of Minnesota said that his state produced one quarter of all the flax produced in the country., When flaxseed or linsced was reached, he would moye to strike the item from the free list and believed that he would have the support of the democratio side. Mr. Cannon of Illinois declared that every one of the existing trusts had grown up under the administration of Grover Cleve- land. He had not heard any proposition from the democrats to restrict the cotton seed oil trust, the whisky trusy, the sugar truss, the anth: to coal trust and the transporta- tion trust. The gentleman from Pennsylva- nin (Scott), representing the administration, had hurried to St. Louis to get in the plat form a declaration against trusts, His biog- raphy in the Congrossional Directory showoed that e was the atest railroad king in the Lana.
