charge Of sea postage Is made under a
paragraph in the Berne treaty, which
was Inserted because some OF the dele

rate fixed by the treaty. This sppre-

WILSON.
The Condition of the Vice-President
Still Critical Strong Hopes for
his Recovery.

WASHINGTON, November lie v.
Murphy, one OF the senate reporters,
who with others remained last night
with Vice President Wilson, and until
Of er eight o'clock this morning, ad-
dressed the following note to Dr.. Baxter:
"Tbe Vice-President was very restless
until about five O'Clock this mOrring,
since which time he has beon doing
almost constantly. l administered the
opiate at the time ordered, and gave him
beef tea shortly before four o'clock and
again at quarter past eight. At eight
O'Clock I gave him large tumbler Of
bitter w4;er, all OF which remained on
his stomach. His bowels have not been
moved"
1t is ascertained from another source
that the Vioe-President during the night
repeatedly pressed his head and heart
with his right hand, and at times would
throw forth both arms. These move
ments were accompanied with nervous
twitching. His more thoughtful and
Observant friends consider his condition
as very critical. Between ten and eleven
o'clock this morning he was still drOwsy
and restless, with no disposition to con-
verse. DR.. Baxter, at eleven O'Clock,
said the Vice-President was then resting
comfortably, having slept considerably
during the morning. Mr.. Wilson him
self said that ne now felt more natural.
At ten minutes past twelve DR.. Baxter
reported the Vice President doing we'll
in every way, saying that he saw no
reason to doubt he would soon recover.
At fifteen minutes past twelve Presi-
dent Grant drove TO the capitol, entered
the sick-room, and remained ABOUT ten
minutes.

SPAIN AND THE POPE.
His Holiness will Insist on His Tenn
pOraI AuthOrity-Ihe COnc0rdat
to be Enforced.

LONDON, November 1.-THE note of
the Vatican in reply to that of Spain
treats the Spanish question from the
standpoint of religion and the princi-
pies of the ConcOrdat, which, it says,
must not be departed from. The Vati-
can does not desire to embarrass the new
Spanish government; it particularly
wishes to assist it, but only by such
means as would be truly effics ciOus, and
which would not permit a rupture of
that sacred tie which has always been the
glory of Spain. Religious unity, which it is
now sought to Danish, cannot impede
the development of civilization, but is,
on the contrary, its true beacon. It is
the duty Of papacy to combat, not
civilization, which is brought forward
merely as a pretext, but corruption in
vading the heart of the nation. In
persisting upon the ground asserted, pa
pacy believes it renders great service
not only to the Spanish government but
to all Spain. Tue cORduct of the
papal nuncio and OF the Vatican
must be regarded from this point
OF view, but if Spain, moved
by supreme necessity, wishes to draw up
an understanding on the same princi-
pies, under another form, papacy is open
TO negotiation with the object of intro.
ducing acceptable notifications into the
concordat. After each one has declared
its views, it is to be seen how far the
Vatican can accept the draft Of the new
COL s!itutiop. In conclusion, the Vatican
accepts the declaration of the Spanish
government that it is desirous of coming
to an understanding, and states that in
structions to negotiate have been given
to the nuncio at Madrid.
