taken in the matter, no instructions from
the home government had been received
to abandon further proceedings, the steps
thus far taken being merely preliminary to
hearing upon the merits Of the case, with
the reserved right on the part Of our Gov
eminent to pass upon the evidence ad-
duced and grant or refuse the extradition
Of Sheridan. The action of Her Msjesty's
Government in pressing or abandoning the
cske will be influenced by the weight and
character of the evidence which it may be
possible to furnish in support of the re-
quest for extradition. There is reason TO
believe the matter will not be pressed un-
less the British Government feels assured
il can make out q case which will satisfy
the State Department that the extradition
should be granted.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-It is reported
here that Mr.. Samuel J. Til1en is literally
and physically on his last last legs. A few
days ago he came down from "Greystone'
to his new house in Gramercy Park. He
was in such dilapidated condition that it
was necessary to put him i'll bed and to
have ali noises in the house stopped, since
it is not yet out of the hands Of the work
men. After stay of four hours he was car
ried back to his Yonkers establishment,
and he may never leave it again. He is
not able to give much attention to his per.
sOnal affairs, which are in hands OF his
trusted friend Andrew Fl. Green, who will
undoubtedly be his executor. Mr.. Tilden
will leave an immense estate, probably not
less than SlO, 900, 900, and there is some Gu
riosity TO know what be will do with 1t all,

the flames had made such headway in the

before the ceiling and roof tumbled in.
Nothing was saved except the clothes the
