PHILADELPHIA, June DIR Wm. Pep
per,professor of the University of Penusyl-
vania, returned to the city this afternoon
from his hasty visit to Washington. where
he was called into consultation by the phv-
sicians attending Gen. Sheridan. DR. Pepper
expressed a somewhat hopeful view of
General Sheridan's condition and saws
that. although desperately i'll. there may
be chance of recovery. W hen seen this
afternoon, DR.. Pepper said: Il left Gen
eral Sheridan ar $50 this morning and the
bulletin issued that hour exactly
states his condition. The attack of
heart failure which he had yester-
day afternoon was apparently the worst he
has had yet. On this and several other
occasions he has been rescued and rallied
only by the vigorous and determined
efforts of his medical attendants The
entire course of treatment appears TO me
TO have been most judicious, and 10 hove
been carried out with rare degree of
efficiency"
