How the Democrats Procured Favor
able Report on a Bill.
Icopyi9t, 1888, blythe California Associated Fressl
WASHINGTON, April 13th.-The House
Committee on American Merchant Maine
and Fisheries held meeting this morning,
at which it was agreed to report favorably
the bill of Representative Dunn, of Ar
kansas, for free ships. The bill of Repre-
sentative Cummings, of New York, giving
bounties 70 American shipping, had been
pending for several months before the COM
mittee, and on number OF occasions.
when one of Duun's free ship advocates
had been absent, By pleading for time he
had secured promise of non action on the
bill.
At the meeting of the committee to-day
Clark of Wisconsin was absent. He is a
Republican, and his absence gave the
Democrats temporary majority. Dunn
was swift TO avail himself of this oppor-
tunity, and he pressed his free ship bill to
q final vote in committee, regardless of the
excuse he had previously made when his
party was in the minority. report in
favor of free ships was adopted by a ma
jority of one, but a fight will be made in
the House whenever the bill is considered

APPARENTLY BETTER.
Continued Favorable Symptoms in Ex-
Senator Conkling's Case.


Senator Conkling's Case.
NEW YORK, April 18TH Conkling rested
well all night and slept quite as well as the
night previous. He only awoke when
called upon to take medicine, at a quarter
past s.
AT $50 DR.. Barker said that the patients
chances of recovery were one in six.
DR.. Barker issued the following bulletin
at 206 P. NJ: For the last two and one
half hours Mr. Conkling has been sleeping
quietly. This morning he walked around
little bit. He has taken sixteen ounces
of milk since l P NJ, and there is little
improvement since this morning
When Barker entered the sick room this
afternoon, Conkling woke up and recog-
nized him, bat Immediately after went to
sleep.
THE PATIENT BECOMES NERVOUS.
Ats P. NJ Conkling was not quite so well
as at , P. NJ. He had a nervous twitching
of the muscles, and objected to taking
| nourishment.
HIS FRIENDS BECOMING ANXIOUS AGAIN.
AT 6:10 p. NJ. Henry Melville, Mr. Conk-
ling's law partner, came out of the house,
and said there was no change in his condi-
ton. The family. he said, were very anxi-
| Gus. The physicians had predicted that
Conkling would be better inside of three
| days, but the prediction had not been full
filed
The general impression at TIE Hoffman
| House is that Conklings condition is more
precarious than indicated in the bulletins
MORE ENCOURAGING.
At $50 P. N. DR.. Barker said "Since
$50 P. NJ. there has been a change for the
better. He has given up his twitching, and
now takes milk. His wounds have not
| been dressed to-day. / will be satisfied if
there is no change for the worse before l
call again at II p. NJ. If l find him the
same | will go home and take a good
nights rest"
SLEEPING AT MIDNIGHT.
DR.. Barker called shortly after eleven
o'clock and stayed half an hour The
patient fell asleep before the doctor left.
He is still taking nourishment without
difficulty, consisting of milk and a little
whisky. His temperature has risen slightly
since the doctors preceding visit, but other
wise he was unchan yed.
THERE is STILL HOPE.
:" / have not given up Mr. Conklings
case as hopeless" said DR.. Fordyce Barker
tonight. " He is suffering from meningitis,
or Inflammation of the membrane of the
brain We have yet seen no conclusive
evidence that the Inflammation has ex-
tended to the brain. Should it so extend,
the case would be utterly desperate"

Last Sunday he mounted his favorite and
somewhat treacherous steed and started out
for canter, accompanied by friend.
While returning home his horse stumbled
and fell. In the fall the Senator's artificial

sprained. Otherwise the injuries he sus-
tanned were not serious. He is confined to
bis apartments at the Metropolitan Hotel

BERLIN, April 13th.-There is now abso-
lutely no foundation for the hints appear
ing in the press that the betrothal project OF
Alexander and Victoria is at no distant
date to be again brought forward. Such
contingency is out of the question, in view
of the character of the personages con-
cerned in the political situation.
The reports that Prince Hobenlohe and

had been sounded as to their willingness to
succeed Prince Bismarck are untrue. The

plated the possibility of the Chancellor re-
signing.

Presidential B0Oms.
ICoprigs., 1885 by 0e California associated Pres.l
NKw YORK, April 13th.-The Mail and
Ezpress (Rep.) says editorially: There are
SO many vigorous and thriving Presidential
booms that we are not surprised to find oc-
casional conflicts Of opinion as to their rel
ative proportions. Thus, while it is con-
ceded that the Alger boom has, so far,
swept everything before it in Michigan, it
is doubtful whether the recent horpitable
demonstration that he received in Galifor-
MIA should be construed to have special
importance.
The probability is that California Re-
publicans who have so long admired and
followed Senator Stanford, and who would
gladly seize the chance to make him the
national standard bearer Of the party,
treated Ex-Governor Alger with a full
measure of characteristic California hospi-
tality, giving of course, their preference for
their own fayoTite Senator, whose breadth
of character, large and varied ability and
splendid liberality, are known and hon
ored by all Americans and are the pride of

of Senator Stanford

of Senator Stanford.
NEW YORK, April 13th-The Heralds
Washington special says: Walter Van DYKE,
formerly United States District Attorney for
California, who is here on business con-
nected with the National Soldiers Home,
was asked what he thought of the candi-
dacy of Stanford for the Presidency.
Van Dyke said: Governor Stanford will
receive the support of the California dele
cation, and no doubt of the whole Pacific
coast, if he should be a candidate. The
only objection raised against him is his
connection with the railroad. This obiec-
ton, if tenable, would shut out from politi-
cal preterment some of the greatest Re-
publican statesmen, for they can be men
toned by the score as either officers or
stockholders in some of the great rail
roads.
" II may be noted as to the credit of STAN
ford and his associates that, though they
have been engaged in the construction and
opening of railroads for a quarter of a
century, and much of that time on a grand
SCALE they have never had strike on their
hands, and many of their employees have
been with them from the beginning"

Coppin, Chief Commissioner TO the Mel

his plan to place a United States man
of-war at the disposal of American manu-
facturers and shippers who desire to be
represented at the Exposition. There is

lied for such purpose.
There will be four Assistant Commits

ard can decide who are the proper men to
fill these positions, and all of these As
sistant Commissioners will be chosen from
