and SfHued.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 1.-AH the
reports given out at the door of Gen.
| Sheridan's house between the hours of
D and O'Clock this morning were to the
| effect that the General was better
and stronger. Therefore considerable
| surprise was manifested when the $50
O'Clock bulletin was issued and the ply
slcisns said over their own signatures
| that the patients condition at that hour
| "still justifes the gravest anxiety"
The scenes at the house this morning
were about the same as usual The
windows were opened about the usual
time and the servants went through
| their routine duties of preparing the
| premises for the day. DIR. Pepper, of
| Philadelphia, who was summoned last
| night by telegraph, reached Washing
| ton at 5:45 O'Clock this morning. He
| was met at the station by Col.
Blunt with a carriage and driven
| direct to the house, arriving
there about 6 o'clock. The other ply
! s,clans, with the exception of DR.. Lin
coin, were waiting for him, and, upon
HE arrival all Immediately proceeded to
| the sick chamber where DR.. Pepper
| made careful and thorough diagnosis
| Of the case. That the results of MS ex-
| animation were not of an encou raging
character is clearly shown by the
, brevity and evident alarm ex-
pressed in the bulletin signed by
him. He remained in consultation
with the physicians until $50 o'clock
and then drove away IN company with
DR.. O'Reilly. They went TO the Penn
tyivanls Railroad station and DR.. Pep
per took the Q o'clock train for PhiIa-
deirhIa. II was impossible to obtain an
| interview with him before his de-
parture but 1t is understood that
he will not return to this city for several
days at least and not then unless new
and other dangerous symptoms are de-
veloped In the case. None of the other
physicians would givs any informatiou
about the case this morning in addi'i '
to the ueagre statements contained
the bulletin.
The alarming nature of this bulletin is
in striking contrast with the statements
previously made at The door this morn
ing up to the time OF It's issue. All per
sons who made inquiries there between
and o'clock were cheerfully informed
BY the attendant that "the General had
good night and is much better this
morning"
Col. Kellogg who left the house about
o'clock TO go TO his own house, said;
THE General seems TO be brighter and
better in every way"
Col. Sheridan came out OF the house
about O'Clock and throwing his arm
sfectionately about the neck of Mary,
the Generals eldest child, who was
playing on the lawn with her
two little sisters at the time,
took her down the street with
him for short distance. AS
he passed the newspaper men in wait
ing, be smiled and told them the Gen
eral had had comfortable night and
looked very much improved this mcrn-
ing, adding that he Rad Just come from
his bedside. THE General has had
bad time of it," he remarked as he
walked away, "but / think he will come
out all right yet"
The following bulletin was issued at
s:45 A. NJ: "Gen Sheridan has held his
own through the night. There has been
TO recurrence of imminent danger, put
his general condition still justites the
gravest anxiety
So severe was Gen. sheridan g relapse
yesterday afternoon that Father Chap
pelle Nss summoned to administer ex.
treme JUNCTION. Only by rapid work WAS
| the crisis tided over. The sick man
| might have died at any moment.
AT II o'clock 1t was announced that
the Generals condition was practically
unchanged There has been no recur-
renee of the heart trouble since thin
morning. Nevertheless no improve
ment is noted. Rev DR.. Chspelle and
| Mr.. Moxley, WHO furnishes the oxygen
| used in the treatment were with the
| General a short time.
| The following was issued at 2;3o r. NJ:
"No material change has occurred in
| Gen. Sher1dan's condition since the is
| sue of the last bulletin, and certainly no
| change for the worse. He has been
| sleeping quietly at intervals for three
| hours"
The lack of favorable tidugs from
| Gen. Sheridan has inspired somewhat
| unusual efforts on the part of his friends
| in Congress TO give expression to the
public admiration and respect for the
the Senate day before Yesterday,
| and passed the House this
| morning, reyiving the rank Of
general of the army for his benefit was
not permitted to take the usual course,
| but under the personal supervision of
| Senator Hawley, chairman of tue Senate
committee on military affairs, it was
engrossed within a half hour of its
| passage and taken by the senator IN
person to the President. Meanwhile SEN
ator Hawley had telegraphed the Presl-
dent, suggesting that the nomination
be made out in advance. The President
signed the bill without delay and cent
the nomination of Philip Sheridan to
the Senate for that petition. The Sen
ate at once went into executive sessions
to confirm the General IN his new hon
or. 1t is expected that the commission
will be be delivered to Gen. Sheridan
before sunset.
A special courier galloped from the
capitol to the White House with the en-
crossed bill: the President immediate
| " signed and handed it TO another
courier who fastened to size
| Senate. That body went INTO
executive session, confirmed the
nomination and the secretary of the
| Senate telegraphed the fact to the Presi-
dent who signed the com
| mission. Another courier gailoped
| to Sheridans house and sent II
| to the dying man at the hands OF his
| brother, Col, Sheridan, who was waiting
at the door to receive 1t.
| WASHINGTON, D. C., June AT s:l5
| o'clock this morning DR.. Matthews left
the Sheridan residence and said to q
| teporter that the General passed
| quite comfortable night and there
| was no recurrence of heart trouble.
| His cough was not so severe as on prev1-
| ous nights ano on the whole he had
about held his own. Mrs. Sheridan is
| now with the General. All OF the
| doctors were with him at different
times during the night, Drs: Matthews
| ard Bsrne remaining through.
The following bulletin was issued at
$50 A. NJ: "Gen. Sheridan contiHuesto

has had fairly good night and had suf-
| ficient sleep"
Att O'Clock this afternoon Gen. Sher~

able symptoms have appeared thus iaI
to-day. The Pennsylvania Railroad
Company mas rendered the Generals

bring Dr. Pepper from Philadelphia to
