A SCARE OVER SHERIDAN.
AFTER A GOOD DAY THE NIGHT
BRINGS A CHANGE

AFTER A GOOD DAY THE NIGHT
BRINGS A CHANGE.
Pulse, Respiration, and Temperature
Indicated That There Was Danger of
a Recurrence of the Trouble of the
Heart and Lungs--All the Physicians
at His Side.
PHILADELPHIA, June 3.--Prof. William
Pepper, who was in consultation Friday
morning with the physicians In attendance
upon Gen. Sheridan, said to an Associated
Press reporter this afternoon that since his
return to this city, he had been
in constant telegraphic communication
with the physicians in attendance on Gen.
Sheridan. I" The recent progress of the
case" he said, although still marked by
very alarming symptoms, has not been such
as to decrease hope or to call for any de
cided change of treatment. 1t is true
that the urine contains albumen.
1t has done SO for some DAYS.
This, like every other point in the case, has
been critically studied all along by his
physicians. 1t is impossible for such dis
turbance of the circulation and engorement
case without the kidneys suffering, and
without the appearance of more or less
aloumen in the urine. Thus far repeated
chemical and microscopical analysts
have failed to prove the existence Of organic
disease. Every effort is teing made to de-
crease the congestion of the kidneys aud to
promote their ac ivity. 1t is needless to
add that If the case were to become further
aggravated by any serious kidney compli-
w OtrlI od1 IN tIn

A SATISFACTORY DAY.

has passed a comfortable day. There was a
slight but definite improvement in his CON
dition. The following bulletin was issued
at O'Clock tonight:
Gen. Sheridan passed a satisfactory day.
Since o'clock this afternoon there have been
some unfavorable changes in the pulse and

GRAVE APPREHENSIoES.
WASHINGTON, June 8, IL p. M-After
day during which he showed quite improve
ment, Gen. Sheridan's condition this even
ing is again not so favorable, and grave
apprehensions are felt lest he should have
all yOIlSl dUUdCk OI ue1TJ anu lung
trouble. There have been changes in his
pulse, respiration and temperature since S
o'clock tonight, such rs have been on one or
two occasions, at least, premonitory symp-
toms of dangerous attacks. Prompt measures
were taken to prevent a recurrence of the
troubles, and it is hoped they may be
warded off, or that change in his condi-
tion may not prove to be indicative Of an
other attack.
A COMFORTABLE NIGHT.
The General passed a very comfortable
night, was but little disturbed by coughing
and when the doctors issued their bulletin
at 9 o'clock this morning they reported
a slight though definite Improvement In the
Generals condition, and that his appetite
had returned. The Improvement continued
during the day. Drs O'Rellly, Byrne and
Yarrow left the house during the after
noon, as everything was moving on so
smoothly as not to require their
immediate presence. DR.. Matthews
alone remained to watch. Nothing to lessen
the hopes that ne would recover occurred
until s o'clock tonight, when the Generals
breathing, which had been quite easy dur
ing the day, and marked by an absence of
that rattling in the throat which was no
ticeable yesterday, became more labored.
QUICKER PULSE.
His pulse also increased in frequency and
his temperature rose Q to 1902. These
changes were noticed with alarm and once
more renewed the grave apprehen-
sions which have been felt
by the family and physicians
at various times. Previous attacks of heart
failure, one of the physicians said, had been
preceded by similar changes in the Cen
erals condition, and steps were Immediately
taken to counteract any tendency toward a
recurrence of the trouble. Oxygen was ad-
ministered, but its effectts were not
quickly visible, and the General responded
slowly to its influence. At O'clock there
had been no recurrence of the trouble and
the physicians while apprehe sive, and all
of their at their patients bedside
were hopeful that none would
occur. The situation is again, however,
one Of anxiety and dread, and it is i'm
possible to say what the night may develop.
VERY DIscoURAGING
The tendency Of the trouble to occur
is discouraging TO the physicians,
and a constant source of alarm to tho
family, as it shows that although a
considerable period may elapse between
the attacks, yet their return Is always to be
dreaded. The General is very weak and not
stronger, II indeed quite as strong as before
the last attack. Each attack heretofore
has been worse than the preceding
one, and IL is feared that the pa
tient may finally become SO weak
as to be forced to succumb. Gen. Sheri-
dams case is further complicated by chronic
diseases Of the liver That organ has be-
come reduced in size and harder and more
dense than in its normal condition. The
effect Of this has been TO impair the useful
ness Of that organ.
The President takes great deal Of inter
est in the case, and a copy Of nearly every
bulletin issued is sent to him.
AN IMPROVEMENT.
WASHINGTON, June 4, 1908 p M.-The
following bulletin has Just been issued:
Gen. Sherdan's pulse and respiration are
about as they were before the last bulletin. His
condition is better. He is now sleeping quietly.
