MILWAUKEE, May 12-The work of
| seizing liquor establishments has progressed
| quietly but vigorously to-day. Two addi-
tional distilleries and three rectifying
houses have been seized. Appraisers were
sent to the five distilleries seized yesterday,
to report the value Of each to the United
States District Attorney.
Five storekeepers have been suspended
to-day, and it is expected that other Reye-
nue. officers of the District will suffer the
same fate tomorrow. Collector Erskine,
however, will not be among the number, as
his conduct is understood to be satisfactory
to the government in all respects.
Detective Mcdonald, who drew a re-
yolver yesterday on a distiller who was
seeking to gain access to his safe after his
establishment was seized, was taken before
the police court this morning and dis
charged.
This evening Thos. Oneall applied TO the
United States Circuit Court, Judge Drum
mOnd presiding, and asked that an apprais-
al of his dishllery be made, and that he
may be permitted to give bonds, and re-
sumo business. In the course of his re-
marks Judge Drummond characterized the
law under which the seizures were made as
q severe one, which ought to be carefully
executed. Further petitions viii be made
tomorrow. The revenue officers express
displeasure at the success Of these proceed
ings.
More Seizures Elsewhere.
WASHINGTON, May 12.-The Secretary
of the Treasury was informed to-day of ad-

mission to resume operation upon giving

LOUISVILLE, KY, May 12.-An import
ant surgical operation was performed upon
John G. Breckenridge at his home in Lex
ington, Tuesday, by DR.. Gross, Of Phila-
delphia, and DR.. Sayre, of New York. His
chest was penetrated by tubes inserted be-
tween the ribs and some relief was afforded.
The physicians are of opinion that the
Generals liver was injured by blow re-
ceived during the war from the fragment
Of a shell, and that his pgesen. sufferings
are due entirely to that cause. They en-
tertain hopes that the operation will prove
Of permanent advantage 10 the sufferer.

LEXINGTON, May 12.-The condition Of
Gen. JnO. c. Breckinridge has remained
unchanged during to-day. Tie surgical
operation has failed to do any good and is
regarded as the cause Of the Generals
present critical condition. His mind is
perfectly clear and he is aware of his sItua-
ton, cOrverses with his friends and during
the evening had the daily papers read to
him. His appetite is good and he has
taken nOurishment regularly during the
day. His pulse is very feeble, which is re-
garded as an indication that his death may
occur at any moment.
LOUISVILLE, May 12.-The Courier
Journals special from Lexington, 8 p. NJ,
says Gen. Breckenridge is still alive but
sinking so rapidly that his death cannot be
delayed many hours. The operation refer
red to in earlier dispatches was only par
tial, Gen. Breckinrldge's condition being
such that he could not endure its compile

Gelizedsor ungOSpelized masses must be
brought under the influence Of the Church
or the Sunday-school, which was to be done
by individual or personal work. In some
Of the churches there was a feeling Of too
much respeCtability. They were.
Dying Of Intense ResPectabIIity.
The masses v hO needed the influence of
the Gospel never entered them. The duty
of the church was not merely TO build
places Of worship. There was work for the
members as well as the ministry. He ad-
vOca ed open air meetings and cottage
prayer meetings, thus carrying the Gospel
into families. Individual efforts should 90
forth with two by two as Christ sent out
his disciples into every neighbOrhOOd. The
way 10 reach the UnevangeliZed masses was
TO 60 for them, and when you get them

fees Of the present day, the speaker said
churches must be provided for the uany,
