| WASHINGTON, May 29th-The favorable
turn IN General Sheridans condition con-
pnues. He has passed very comfortable
| night, but there are fears of a sudden
and fatal change. The 10 o'clock bulletin
says:
General Sheridan passed quiet night Sleep
ing most of the time. He awoke for a few min
utes at intervals of about half an hour recoc
nlzihg ana c9nversing nationally with those in
the room His respiration and pulse remain
good On the whole, his condition as noted in
lSst evenings bulletin continues, with even
slight Improvement.
FAVORABLE SYMPTOMS.
WASHINGTON, May 29th.-General Sher-
1dan was very cross this morning. He was
lifted from his bed to eat and given a bath.
he growled at the manner of his treatment
ana complained because he was not allowed
to read the daily papers This is the most
important evidence of his convalescence.
His attending physicians are dumb
founded by the marvellous improvement in
bis condition. They had no hope of his
recovery, nor have they now any lasting
faith in his overcoming the disease
with which he is afflicted. Ii is
conceded that his ability, in the event of
war; to command the army, is departed.
Another recurrence of the heart trouble
would undoubtedly kill him. 1t was for
this reason the Senate to-day passed bill
FeViving the office of Genera! of the Armv.
which would have expired with She1idan's
death.
WHY BERRY OPPOSED THE BILL.

Jected to the consideration of this bill, the
Indignation was so great that a number of
prominent Democrats went over from the
House and persuaded Berry to Withdraw
his objection.

the consideration of the bill
General Sheridan continues to improve
and the doctors are all at sea by his mar
velous rally. They don't know what to
make OF 1t, and fear it cannot last.
THE EVENING BULLETIN.
The bulletin at $50 simply said that Gem
eral Sheridan continued to improve; that
there had been no recurrence of the heart
trouble and that the indications are that he
will certainly live through the night.
AT MIDNIGHT
The house was closed. The man at the
door insisted that the patients rally had so

persuaded to lie down and get some rest.
so much needed. Two of the physicians
are still on watch, and will remain, of
course, all night. The lights in the house
are turned low, and everything from the
outside indicates that the family have re-
tired for the night. There will be no later
bulletin, unless change for the worse
takes place, and that is not now anticipated
HUNGRY, AS WELL AS CROSS.
WASHINGTON, May 29th.-The diet of
the General has been changed somewhat
from the scanty variety of nourishment
heretofore allowed him. He was given
some beef juice, obtained by pressing a
steak, and said
It's pity to spoil that steak for this.
had rather get the juice out between my
teeth.
To this the doctor replied: We'll, YOU
shall, General, before the week ends, if you
climb up like this"
HIS MOTHERS SIMILAR ATTACK.
An intimate friend of General Sheridan

similar IN Its character to that which has
