GEN. SHERIDAN.
The Danger Point Believed to
Have Been Passed.


WASHINGTON, May 25.-Gen. Sheri-
dan is very sick man, and physicians
are in constant attendance upon him.
His trouble is valvular affection of the
heart. and he has had several alarming
sinking spells, from which he rallied
with difficulty, the last being the
most severe of all. The failure
OF the hearts action has
brought him near to deaths door
more than once and the fear is that re-
cnrrence of the trouble may take him
away suddenly at any moment. A con-
sultation was held tonight. At its con-
clusion the following statement, which
is concurred in by all the physicians,
was given to the press: $50 pm
Consultation by DrS. Matthews,
Yarrow and O'Reilly. Patient sit
cheerful and hopeful. Gdema of legs
diminished; pulse, 110; his normal pulse
lrate being 1867 firm and regular.
Heart sounds are clearer. ReSpiIa-
ton 30, regular. Has no nausea,
and has taken sufficient nourish-
ment; tongue cleaner. Condition in
general improved since morning."
At Ii o'clock DR.. Yarrow said to a re-
porter: 81 felt quite uneasy this morn
ing about Gen. Sheridan, but when l
saw him in the afternoon | noticed a
change for the better. He was addi-
tiOnally improved tonight when | left

A LIVELY ROW.
A Great Fight Over Street Rail-
way Matters at Des Moines.

Special to the Globe.
DEs MONIES, To-, May 25.-The
struggle of the Des Moines Street Rail-
way company for the exclusive pos
session of the streets of this city, so far
as its street car privileges are con-
cerned, is assuming serious proper
ton. AS soon as the supreme court de-
cided that their franchise was exclusive
only in reference to the use of animal
power,a franchise was given to broad
guage company which proposes to put
on electric cars, and another
franchise was granted motor
line. The latter company, to
make their privilege good for anything,
needed the Grand avenue bridge. Tues
day the Des Moines Street Railway
company attempted to take possession
of the bridge and occupy it with their
narrow-gauge track, having already
bridge. Mayor Carpenter drove them
away. The city council then met, and
passed resolution prohibiting the lay
ing of further street railway of any
kind, unless it was four feet eight and
a half-inch gauge. The company still
persisted. Last night the council re-
pealed the narrOw-gauge company's
charter, and forbid their laying any
more track at all. This afternoon
another attempt was made to capture
the bridge, and by the order
of the mayor and the city So
licitor the police captured Charles Grief,
general manager of the company, and
placed him under arrest. Galusha Par
sons put in an appearance at the police
headquarters soon after, and in few
minutes Frank Sherman, secretary, ad-
vanced on the bridge, and portion of
the police force advanced on Mr.. Sher-
man and had him within the railing OF
the police court. The Narrow Gauge
company, not at all abashed, made an
other advance on 9he bridge in the per-
son of Walter Mccain. president, and
the police force, acting under orders
from their superiors, increased the
number of prisoners from a brace to
trio. Counsel and clients were confident
and smiling, and general air of good
feeling reigned in the court room, but
Mayor Carpenter says he will protect
the bridge if he has to plant cannon
there to do it.

ACCUSED OF MURDER.
Story of the Killing OF Andy
Heart by Marcus Dillworth,

OpcCldl W lllS OlOD6.
SPOKANE FALLS, May 25.-Marcus
Dillworth occupies cell in the Spokane
county jail, pending his trial for the
murder of Andy Heart last week. Both
the dead man and his accused murderer
were noted gamblers and toughs, and
the fatal shooting of Heart arose from a
dispute over game of stud poker. The
fracas took place at Conconully, min
ing camp on the Salmon river and 100
miles by stage line northwest of this
town. Heart accused Dillworth of hav-
ing cheated, and demanded him to re-
turn the money he had wrongfully OBJ
tanned or release his hold on life.
Both men reached for their
guns, but friends separated them,
and Conconully was saved from
a bloody conflict that night, as the camp
is full of men who are ''dead struck to
fight at any and all times. The next
morning the men met at a saloon where
Heart was tending bar, and the quarrel
was renewed. II will make you fight
and fight hard" Heart was heard to say
as he reached behind the bar for his
shooter. 1t was then that Dillworth
opened fire and filled him full of lead.
The friends of the dead man made an
attempt to lynch Dillworth, but the
sheriff and posse managed to save him
by escaping from the camp during the
night. Heart was regarded as the finest
pistol shot in the mines, and was the
terror of the neighborhood. Dillworth,
who is also a game man, halls from
Texas, where his father is banker.

RELATIVE STRENGTH.
An Accurate Estimate of Where
The Trio Stand Now.

The GLOBES first estimate (six weeks
ago of the strength of the Republican
candidates, gave McGill a long lead,
that he then did possess. His friends
at that time were claiming over 200
votes for him, although the GLOBE
gave him only 40 or $50. To-day a
more accurate forecast can be made,
and the following table, made up from
the claims of McGill, Scheffer and
Merriam, does not misrepresent the
situation now. a county may be mis-
placed here and there, but throughout
the table shows relative.strengths fairly.
Friends of the candidates admitted this
when shown the table. Merriam's full
claim of rs votes is not given him, nor
is the Schetfer column accredited with
all that its most enthusiastic friends
might claim. Claiming and proving
are two different things. In noticing
Mr.. Scheffer'S lead here, readers will

fact that he represents new element

A WISCONSIN TRAGEDY.
The Little Village of Kickapoo the
Scene.
FOUR PEOPLE MURDERED.
An Old Man, His Wife and Two Grand
children the ViGtims---North-
west News.
Snecial to the Globe

Special to the Globe.
LA CROSSE, Wis, May 25.-A horrible
murder occurred in the town of
Kickapoo, Vernon county, to-day, four
persons being slain-Reuben Drake
and wife and two children of James
Dupee, their grandchildren, who were
visiting at his house. The Drake
family occupy farm four miles from
the little settlement of Readstown and
fifteen miles from Viroqua. They were
past middle life and moderately we'll
to-do. This morning neighbor went
to brakes house on an errand, knocked,
but getting no answer and the door
being partly open, entered. A most
horrible sight confronted him. There
on the floor lay Drake and wife, face
downwards, the head and face of each
mangled by shotgun wounds, and the
floor swimming in blood. In the next
room lay two children on a bed, with
their throats
CUT FROM EAR TO EAR.
One of the children was yet alive, but
unable to make any communication, ,and
died in very short time. The neigh
polhOObs uhus III lQCts GllC WuOlC
was notified within the next few hours
and hundreds of people gathered in the
vicinity. Officers are actively tracing
out clues to the perpetrators of
the horrible deed. The house had
been completely ransacked, showing that
search had been made for valuables.
Foot marks could be seen leading East
from the house and road, but as yet no
clue has been found. The nearest
neighbOr woman heard three shots fired
in the direction of brakes house at IL
o'clock last night, but supposed it to be
some hunter returning home late. An
other woman tells of meeting stranger
who avoided her and hid in the brush
alongside of the road. Drake was known
to have obtained some pension money a
month ago, and it is supposed the MUIR
derers were after that, which would in
dicate the deed was done by somebody
in the neighborhOod.

Discussing the Fisheries Treaty.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-The senate
spent several hours again to-day in
secret session ostensibly discussing the
motion of Senator Sherman to pro-
ceed to the consideration of the
fisheries treaty with open doors, but in
reality debating the merits of the treaty
itself. Senator Morgan was the prin-
cipal speaker. The afternoons session
is reported to have been remarkably
dull as general thing, but it is said
that cOlloquy between Senators Ed
munds and Morgan in regard to things
the president is likely to do if the SEN
ate does not ratify the treaty would be
read with interest if made public. No
action was taken and the treaty under
discussion has not yet been formally
taken up.

A LABOR BLUE BOOK.
Senator Turpie Would Have All
Skilled Mechanics Registered.

WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator Tur-
pie to-day introduced bill to provide
for sort of a directory of the most
skilled mechanics and artisans in all
parts of the country. The bill makes it
the duty of the commissioner of labor,
annually to compile from the best and
most authentic sources, and to prepare
and publish book to be called the
Register of Labor" to be of the size of
the army and navy register combined,
to contain the name and addresses of
persons of known excellence in their
vicinity, in any line of skilled labor or
mechanics, the names to be taken in
proportion to population from the differ
ent states and territories. Only names
of persons actually engaged in the man.
ual work of their respective callings
are to be published. The list is to be
carefully revised each year; no name is
to be dropped from the register as long
as the person is known to be engaged in
the occupation stated, and losses in the
list by death, or other causes are to be
replaced by other names taken from the
same locality. The number of books to
be published is to be twice the number
of army and navy registers authorized
to be published.

NO BACKDOWN,
But Will Support Rusk to a Man.


Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May 25.-Congressman
Thomas, of Prairie du Chen, just re-
turned from home, says: "You may
say that l am confident our Wisconsin
delegation will be unwavering in sup
port of Rusk at Chicago. Blaine can
not stampede them. In fact, all the
Northwestern states anticipate the
Blaine tactics and are determined not
to succumb. We believe Jere Rusk
has as good show as Aili-
son, Sherman or any other candidate."
Congressman Guenther is unwavering
in his opposition to Gresham, because
of his ''Know Nothing'' record. The
Wisconsin congressman stand back of
him in his fight, and believe that the
Gresham boom is killed by Guenther's
exposure. The Milwaukee Herald, a
leading German paper, refuses to in
dorse Guenther, and Savagely attacks
him though its Washington correspond
ent, but all of Rusk's friends support
Guenther strongly. This matter bids
fair to split German Republicans in
twain in Wisconsin, and is an exceed
lngly important matter

NEXT MONTH
Will Decide Who Is to Run for
Governor

The three Republican candidates for
governor admit that the Republican
nominee for president will largely affect
their Individual chances for success.
The preference of the Merriam men for
Gresham is known. They want tariff
reform candidate. When pinned down
to it, the Scheffer allies and McGillites
confess that Blaine would suit them
very well.
"Blaine, if nominated" said a Schef-
fer man, will need strong guberna-
torial candidate in Minnesota to help
him out"
The McGill men whisper back:
"Blaine would help us out"
The national convention, then, may
bring out new deal. With Gresham
defeated and Blaine nominated, the
Merriam men will have a dish of crow
to eat; They don't expect that fate,
though.

DNEAIR METHODS.
Serious Charges Brought Against
A Boom Company.

Special 10 the GlODe.
WAUsAU, Wis, May 25.-A large
number of lumber men and mill men
of this city met in the business mems
rooms this afternoon to protest against
the method practiced by the Merrill
Boom company in holding back Wausau
logs. 1t is claimed that the Merrill
Boom company has contracted to fur
nish more boomage than their booms
will warrant, and as consequence they
are not driving the logs faster than the
Merrill mills can cut them. The people
here are Justly indignant, as most of the
mills are idle, and those that are run
ming will be forced to shut down in a
day or two. Fully 1900 men who work
in the mills are thus robbed of employ
ment. Resolutions were drawn up con-
demning the action of the above COM
pany, which is controlled by the st.
Paul Railroad company. Papers will
be served on the Boom company requir-
ing them to divide logs without so much
unnecessary delay, and also on the st.
Paul Railroad company to make it raise
its bridge across the Wisconsin river
at Merrill. All the mill men living
below Merrill at Grand Rapids. Stevens
Point and Port Edwards have joined the
Wausau lumbermen. A big suit for
damages is expected to follow.

Back talk and loud words are not mani

discussed the situation in the Fifth and
agreed that Barto had the lead, and
really more votes than the above table

How will Barto stand on the tariff"
His reply was, "He will take the

does"
''But since Nelson's platform is in
opposition to the Republican party's
national and state declarations on the
tariff, are you going to advise the
farmers to vote fol- Barto and cut the

McGill should keep an eye on Loren.
John l.. Gibbs, under personal obliga-

of having secret alliance with Mer-
riam, intending to bring Freeborn

giving it to the winner.
The last state convention revealed
the Merriam strength, and he came out
OF it in tip-top condition. McGill Jared

for Castle, made no showing. The still,
cunning work is undoubtedly being
done by Merriam, but the Scheffer can

WASHINGTON. May 25.-The tariff
subcommittee of the senate committee
on finance held its first annual meeting
to-day, at which general discussion of
plans and purposes took place. The
subcommittee will probably hold daily
meetings hereafter. From develop
ments from this mornings meeting it
appears probable that there will be sub
stantial agreement upon the admins
tratlve features of the tariff bill lin short,
that the senate undervaluation bill
will be added to any tariff bill that
may be sent over from the house, also
that the two sides will substantially
agree in respect to the removal of the
lncongrulties and inconsistencies of the
present customs laws, many of which
have been called to the attention of con-
gress by secretaries of the treasury. 1t
IS also thought probable that both par
ties will assent to the putting of num-
Der of new articles on the free list, but
beyond this point it is expected that the
subcommittee will divide upon strictly
party lines-that is, in respect to new
rates to be established upon dutiable
