state comptroller, for the redemption on
the LIST OF April next, of S2,000.o00 United

THE SHERIDAN CASE.
The state department has received no in

government relative to the execution Of
the warrant for the arrest OF L. ]. Sheridan.
Inquiries At British legation elicit the in
formation that while no further steps have
been taken in the matter, no instructions
from the homo government have been re-
ceived to abandon further pro-
ceedings, The steps thus far
taken are merely preliminary to
hearing upon the merits of the case, with
the reserved right ON the part Of our gov
ernment to pass upon the evidence ad-
duced and grant or refuse the extradition Of
Sheridan. The action OF her majesty's
government in pressing an abandonment
| seems to be influenced by the
weight and character Of the evidence
which II may be possible "a
furnish In support OF the request for oxtra-
dition.. There Is reason to believe the mat
ter will not be pressed unless the British
government feels assured 1t can mako out
case which will satisfy the state department
that extradition should be granted.

Ex-senator Dorsey furnishes the follow
ing; dispatch from Denver states that
the so-called Beliord check was really given
