peculiar and quite opposed to any

outside being mere block without
projections or access. 1t is not yet set
tied whether this block shall be sur

authorities In Europe seem to hold that
one or several sheeted cannon shall
move round the block, and as powder

enemy's aim, will fire on fixed point.
This movable sheeting will make up
for the absence OF trenches. At the
angles of the block, moreover, II

oval, there will be sheeted
reducts, which will cover tho
base OF the block and make assaults
impossible. OF course the interior OF
the block will contain tho equipments

the enemy can appear. There will bo

lit up by electricity produced on tho

from without. The stores of other

The Styles Now In Great Favor with So
clety Leaders.
Fashionable corsets are now cut to
give long, slender waist with high
bust; to do this, there are transverse
seams, making close zone about the
waist line, with long darts that hold
the flesh above, while the lower parts
fit over the hips like cuirass. How
ever, to arrange for all figures, oorsets
are made as gloves are, in three sizes,
short, medium and long, the difference
being in the length of the waist. Col
ored corsets are now in great favor,
the light shades being used for sum-
mer, such as dove, pale rose, clean
blue and scarlet; black corsets are also
worn, being liked by many as we'll as
are black stockings. A new fancy COM

WASHINGTON. June 1.-THE following
bulletin was given out by the doctors yes.
| terday forenoon: General Sheridan slept
rather more last night. Toward morning
he had period of general depression fol-
lowing an attack OF coughing. From this
he quickly and easily recovered. At pres
ent his appetite is sufficient; his pulse is
l0o-102; his respiration "a and regular, and
his temperature normal. His appearance
is better
In the afternoon il was stated at General
Sheridan's house that there had been no
material change in the Generals condition
since the morning bulletin was issued. The
General has been sleeping nearly all the
morning, and has taken his nourishment of
beef tea and milk with apparent relish.
Up to last Sunday the stomach refused to
digest the beef tea, but now he is able to
retain it without any trouble. The pc
riodicity Of the heart attacks had been very
marked heretofore. They usually occurred
at intervals Of every three days. and as this
is the fourth day since the last occurrence
of heart failure, its absence is looked upon
as being very encouraging.
Last night General Sheridan's physicians
said: General Sheridan has slept natur-
ally the greater pert of the day. His pulse
has varied from 100 TO log. His respiration
has been rather less labored and more reg
ulart He has taken sufficient nourishment

BLAINE FOR SHERMAN.
II Is Claimed that Chairman Jones Has .
Letter to this Erect.

PITrsBURG, June A.-It is reported here
that b. f. Jones, Chairman of the Republi-
can National Committee, has in his posses
sion letter from James @. Blaine, which
is to be read on the assembling of the Ma
tional Convention next Tuesday. 1t states
in terms that cannot be mistaken Mr..
Blaine's position in regard to the Presiden-
cy, and settles for good and all the ques-
ton Of his candidacy. In neither of his
precious epistles from Florence and Paris
did Mr.. Blaine state positively that he
would not accept the nomination if ten
dered to him. In the letter which Chair
man Jones has, this declaration is most en-
phatically made. Under no circumstances,
Mr.. Blaine says. will he permit the use of
his name at Chicago; nor would he accept
were the Presidential nomination unani-
mously rendered him. He further goes on
TO indicate that Senator John Sherman of
Ohio is his preference. He advises the con-
vention to place him at the head Of the Re-
publican National ticket Continuing, Mr..
Blaine gives quite a lengthy dissertation
on the tariff, touches the important issues
of the day and predicts in glowing terms o
glorious victory for the Republican Ma
tional party in November. He contrasts
the campaigns of 1884 and 1888, and shows
how this year all the odds are in favor Of
the Republicans
