WASHINGTON, June S.-Though there
has been no very decided change for
the worse in General Sheridan's 8
condition during the day, yet
during the last twenty-four hours
it has not been encouraging for him.
There has been continuance of high
respiration, which marked decided
congestion of the lungs. Diff
Guilty in breathing has weakened
him and prevented him from securing
much needed rest. Heretofore there
has been uniform improvement after an
attack of heart failure, but now the pa
tient does not seem able to rally.
$50 P. M.-The afternoon has been a
quiet one, without any incident worthy
Of mention. Sheridan's pulse is los I;
respiration 35; temperature normal !;
mind perfectly clear During the day he
showed great interest in current news.
PHILADELPHIA, June S.-Dr. VIM.
Pepper said tonight he could add no.
thing to the information contained in the
published bulletins of to-day, except to
say that all the intelligence from Wash
ington indicated that Sheridan had a
very good day. The fact of the bulle-
tins being of SO uniformly favorable tone,
the Doctor said showed the improvement
Of this morning had been we'll main

WASHINGTON, June s.-Dingley, of
Maine, from the Committee on NIer-
chant, Marine and Fisheries, reported
back the resolution calling upon tho
Secretary of the Treasury for information
as to whether any order is now in forco
by which vessels from United States
ports are required to pay less tolls in
passing through Welland and other Can
adian canals when they pursue their voy-
age by way of the St. Lawrence and
Montreal than when they pursue their
voyage by way of Lake Ontario to Amer
lean ports; and whether ad-
ditional legislation is necessary
to authorize the Secretary of the Treas
ury to impose additional tolls on vessels
passing through Sault Sainte Marie and
the st. Claire Flats Canal, bou,ad to Can
adian ports in case the Canadian author
tiles continued discrimination against
vessels bound to American ports.
Adopted.
The Tariff bill was then taken up in
Committee Of the Whole, the salt para
graph being under consideration. After
an extended debate, participated in by a
large number of the members OF the
House, vote was taken on motion
made by Burrows to strike out the para
graph, and it was rejected.
An amendment offered by Grosvenor,
OF Ohio, to exclude bulk salt from the
free list, admitting only dairy and table
salt, met with similar fate. This con-
cluded consideration of the salt para
graph.
Bayne, OF Pennsylvania, offered an
amendment tn insert rice, cleaned and
uncleaned, in the free list. Rejected.
The four lines relating to flax were
read and Brown, OF Indiana, moved to
strike them out Of the free list.
Pending debate on this motion, the
committee rose, and the House took q
recess until O'Clock, the evening ses-
sion to be for the consideration Of private
pension bills.
COMMITTEE REPORTS.
The Committee on Commerce has au-
thorized favorable reports on the Nelson
bill, comforting upon State and Territorial
Legislatures the right to control the
tolls, rates and fares within the limits Of
the respective States or Territories, OF all
railroad companies chartered by Con-
gress. The Committee on Commerce
has also authorized favorable reports on
the following bills: Appropriating $685.
900 for lighthouse at San Diego; con-
ferring on the President Of the United
States the right to appoint medical off
GERS of the Marine Hospital Service, and
the Nelson bills, comforting upon State
and Territorial Legislatures the right to
control tolls, rates and fares within the
limits of their respective States or Terri
tories, Of all railroad companies chartered
by Congress.
At the evening session the House
passed thirty-three private pension bills,
and at 10 80 o'clock adjourned.
