General Sheridan has Another
Serious Sinking Spell.
HIS LUNGS ARE TROUBLESOME
Which Adds Greatly to the Gravity
ofthe situation-The Family and
Friends Around His Bedside.
Death Hourly Expected.

WASHINGTON, May 3l.-AtS;SO o'clock
this evening it was ascertained that Gen.
Sheridan had n recurrence of heart trou-
BILE this afternoon, but it is stated that
he is resting easily now. DR.. A. S. Lin
coin has been called in the case and is
now in consultation with the other doc
tors.
A light burns dimly in the chamber
where the sick man lies, surrounded by
his family and physicians. Friends en-.
ter the house at intervals and come out,
showing plainly in their countenances
the gravity Of the news impaired to
them.
Shortly before II o'clock Col. Kellogg
came out to cross the street to his home.
He said he still entertained some hope
that the General might rally, but he was
more alarmed than at any other stages OF
his illness. rhe danger 10 be apprehen-
sive about, he says, came more from the
lungs than from the heart. AT the re-
quest of DR.. O'Reilly, DR.. Pepper, Pro-
fessor OF Cynical Medicine, and Provost
to the University of Pennsylvania, has
been telegraphed for, and will arrive
here about o'clock tomorrow morning.

THE GERMAN EMPEROR


III tbbh 4ttththh-tftfthfthAh Aol ASoAN"k
for POtsdam.
BERLIN, May 3l.-Doubters about the
recovery Of the Emperor have taken
heart for the first time.
They not only saw him again in pretty
sound looking flesh yesterday, but
learned that all arrangements have been
made for his departure at II o'clock Fri
day morning, by steamer, to the Schloss
Friedrichskron Wild Park, near Pots
dam. The warm weather enticed to
Charlottenburg thousands of persons,
who saw His Majesty step into his car
riage and drive away amid the most en-
thusiastic cheering. He looked much
better than usual.
There was also wonderful popular
change toward the Empress. She drove
into town and inquired after the condi.
ton OF the sufferers from Mondays acci-
dent, now in the hospital, and then
visited sundry institutions OF an educa-
tional and benevolent nature in various
parts Of town.
1t CHANGED that the society for chill
dren's summer holiday colonies was
holding a meeting in the street in the
West End, where the inhabitants are
packed together like herrings in bar
rel. Here Her Majesty again met with
most demonstrative popular reception,
repetition OF the hearty display OF af-
lection the Empress experienced at the
Central Market weeks ago. Every win.
dow in the crowded houses was occu-
pied. Bouquets Of flowers were thrown
into the carriage, and rs it moved of the
horses could scarcely thread their way
out OF the street. The cheering and
shouting were deafening. In the midst
OF this poverty is the Pes:alozzi Frobil.
haus, under the patronage OF the Em-
press, who visited its kindergarten
school, kitchen and baths for women
and girls. Her interest in the educa.
tional and sanitary wants OF the poor in
Berlin and Germany will always endear
the Empress to the people.
The AHgemeine Zeitung says that the
Emperor sanctioned the Quinquonnial
Parliament bill with the greatest re-
luctance, and that he wrote a special
letter to Minister Won Puttkamer dwell
ing upon the necessity OF preserving the
freedom and right Of election with all
the more care in view Of the new law.
The Emperor had satisfactory night.
General Albedyll made the usual report
to His Majesty this morning. Yester'
day the Emperor granted long audi.
ence to Baron Won Seldeneck, the Ger.
man Consul at Havana. The police now
refuse to allow the people to throw
flowers and petitions into the Emperor's
carriage when he is out driving.

Decreased Attendnnce-A Missionary Case
DecIde1-0dtIs anil Ends.
New YoRK, May 3l.-Bishop Fitz-
gerald presided for the first time at to-
days session OF the Methodist Episcopal
General Conference.
When the body was called to order
there were not more than twenty dele
gates in their places, large number Of
the delegates having returned to their
homes.
DR.. J. II. Baylis, of Cincinnati, con-
Quoted the devotional exercises, after
which DR.. Kynett moved that the
Bishops be requested to appoint any
committees not already provided for,
which was so ordered.
Chaplain McCabe suggested that the
order OF devotional exercises adopted at
Yesterdays session be printed in the
hymnal and ritual.
DR.. Wheeler, who was last night ruled
out Of order by Bishop Vincent, arose to
a question OF privilege and wanted the
Chair 10 rule on the same point that he
raised before Bishop Vincent. Bishop
Fitzgerald declared him out OF order
again.
The report providing for the union of
Methodists Of all nationalities was then
taken up and adopted.
A minority report opposing the inde-
pendence Of the Japenese Church was
presented, but was laid on the table.
The next report was that OF the COM
mittee on Dailes Mission case. The case
is one where the Missionary Society sold
and gave possession OF certain property
at Dalles, Oregon, TO certain parties, af-
ter the society's rights to the land had
been certified by the Secretary of the
Interior. The United States Supreme
Court, however, decided that the Mis-
sionary Society had no rights to the
land. The committee in consequence
recommended the refunding Of the
money to the persons who had paid it,
or their heirs, in four annual payments
without interest. The sum is $23,7O0
The report was adopted.

Preparations for the ExhibItion-Judgc
Thurman to Preside.
Columns, O., May 3l.-W. G. Desh-
Ter and P. W. Huntington, rs special
committee, called upon Hon. Allen G.
Thurman this morning to request him
to accept the Craftsmanship of the COM
mittee to invite President Cleveland to
attend the opening ceremonies Of the
Ohio Centennial. Judge Thurman ex-
pressed desire to accept the invitation,
and assured them that he would accom-
pany the committee to Washington il
lis health would permit. In speaking
OF who should entertain the President,
in the event that the invitation to be
present was accepted, Judge Thurman
expressed desire to perform that hos
pitable part, should his own and his
wife's health permit. The special COM
mittee recommended that Ju"ge Thur
man be given the preference and, in the
event that he was compelled TO decline,
that Mr.. Z. l.. Hinman would be glad to
entertain the President. 1t was also
suggested that should the President con-
sent to hold grand reception, either
the halls Of the Senate, House of Repre-
sentatiyes or the Governors rooms
should be utilized for that purpose
Judge Thurman expressed the opinion
that it was not advisable for the COM
mittee to go to Washington before week
after next, and this suggestion will
probably be acted upon.

Wilson has made u record which, il it
had been made at that time, would have
deprived him Of the FIVE years oil Con
gressional life he has enjoyed. Speaking
Of Mr.. Mason, | am told that there is a
strong sentiment in many portions OF
the State in favor OF placing him on the
ticket for the Supreme JudgeGhip. His
eminent qualifications for the office, to-
gether with his great personal popularity,
warrants the statement that he would
add strength TO the ticket. This is only
gossip that l. hear on the streets. do
not know that Mr.. Mason is candidate.
In fact, have reason to believe he is
not in the field for anything.
From what can learn, / believe the
PROHIBITION AMENDMENT
has lost ground. The Third party is
more responsible for this than any cam
paign that has been made against it. In
Taylor county prohibition has existed
for many years, and the people are be-
ginning TO realize that 1t has little or no
effect. Take the case Of Grafton, for in
stance. There is not licensed saloon
in the place, and the younger citizens
scarcely remember when one did exist,
and yet there are over score OF places
where liquor may be had for the asking
many OF them being open bars. l
must say, however, that yesterday,
among all the thousands OF people who
filed the town to overilowing, saw less
than ever saw on a SINH
lar occasion in Grafton. This, am ill.,
formed, is due to the fact that the Mayor
notified all the places where liquor issoId
that the traffic must be suspended on
Day. This was u very thought-
ful act OF the Mayor, but the inference
that might be drawn would be a sad
on the efficacy OF the Graf
ton prohibition law. OF course there
was liquor sold, butt was not so openly
us upon the day previous or
rs it is to-day, when, it may be pre-
sumed the Mayors Memorial Day order
is not regarded us still in force.

CHICAGO, May 3l.-Danlel Corkery,
the Illinois member OF the National
League Executive Committee, has been
selected in place OF Judge Moran topre-
side at the mass meeting Of the Irish
Catholics Of Chicago, tonight, called for
the purpose OF protesting against the
Papal rescript.
Archbishop Feehan continues to
maintain his non.committal atti-
tude regarding the mass meeting,
and was not at home yesterday
to the committee opposing the gather
ing that called to obtain from him an
expression OF disapproval. It is under
stood that the Archbishop declines to
PREJUDICE the meeting, He will censure,
Il at ali, only after the participants have
given cause, and they have declared
from the outset that their action, while
uncompromising and manly, shall be
equally dignified and Catholic.
Judge Moran's course in Withdrawing
from the Craftsmanship is regretted by
the promoters Of the meeting, but has
caused no bitterness apparently. The
tart letter OF City Collector 0nahan,
however, in which he declines to act as
a vice president, has had an opposite
effect. He was savagely denounced at a
meeting OF the Committee Of Arrange.

the invitation to him was an oversight

constitution Of the United States is a
virtual agreement or compact to admin

therefore, an act Of disloyalty to Christ"

HILL AND CLEVELAND.
Latest Phase of the Rivalry Between the
New York Factions.

Latest Phase of the Rivalry Between the
New York Factions.
New YoRx, May 3l.-There is a report
that within forty-eight hours personal
messenger has been sent by President
Cleveland to Gov. Hill to give the Gov
ernor the insurance that the Admins
tration favors his denomination for
Governor and will do all it can to bring
it about. There has been more or less
friction between the Cleveland and Hill
factions in the State, and ciashing OF
forces has been only avoided by the
most skillful manipulation. The Hill
forces have been steadily but surely
overpowed, however, and beaten all
along the line by the Federal Oflice-hold-
crs, and the use OF patronage. They
have been driven almost into n last ditch
where they were beginning to turn and
talk OF fighting to the death. 1t is to
prevent an open rupture OF the party
that the assurance mentioned has been
sent to Hill. His friends have been out
spoken recently in saying they do not
believe that Cleveland can carry New
York on Mills bill platform, and have
also declared that Hill is $1,000 or 10000
votes stronger in New York than Cleve-
land. This sort OF talk has been con.
strucd as a menace to knife Cleveland, il
he did not yield somewhat to Hill.
There is some ground for the belief that
Hills friends do not wish him to run
again for Governor, being fearful that
he would be defeated with Cleveland.
