Much Anxiety Felt Concerning. His Cor
dition, it Being Regarded as Critical.
The San Francisco Chronicle of yesterday
has the following concerning theillness of
Charles Crocker:
"A rumor circulated yesterday afternoon
among the friends of Charles Crocker that
he had been taken seriously and suddenly
i'll with a complaint in the nature of dia-
betes at the Del Monte Hotel in Monterey.
Inquiry showed such TO be the fact. Mr.
Crocker left this city on last Monday for
Monterey, and was taken suddenly i'll on
Friday night. Medical aid was at once
summoned in the person of DIR. Stevens, of
Monterey. His treatment, however, did
not have the required effect and w. H.
Crocker, who is also in Monterey, became
alarmed at his fathers condition, and tele-
graphed to this city for three physicians,
two OF whom left by special train from
Fourth and Townsend streets at midnight,
arriving at Monterey at 3 o'clock yesterday
morning.
Upon their arrival they found Mr..
Crocker very i'll. They at once held con-
sultation with DR.. Stevens, aud, ascer-
tanning the cause of his illness, applied
remedies which had the effect of easing his
sutferings and ayerting immediate danger
The two city physicians, deeming It pru-
dent to leave their patient in the. care of
DR.. Stevens, returned on the afternoon
train.
Up to late hour last evening no fur
ther news had been received in this city as
to the condition of the sick man. The ab-
sence of such news was considered to be
satisfactory as to his continued improve
ment.n
The Cal, referring yesterday to the i'll
ness Of MIR. Crocker, said:
Jessie D. Carr came up from Salinas
last evening. He stated that Mr.. Cfocker
was in very precarious condition, and at
2 O'Clock yesterday afternoon, the doctors
were undecided as to the outcome of his
illness. Mr.. Carr was inclined to believe
that the present sickness was directly at
tributsble to the injuries suffered by Mr..
| Crocker several years ago At New York, by
being thrown from buggy. Mrs Crocker
went down TO Del Monte yesterday morn
ing"
HIS CONDITION LAST EVENING.
The following dispatch was received from
Monterey last evening:
Charles Crocker was reported seriously
| i'll yesterday, but to-day is in more favor
| able condition. Medical aid from San
Francisco arrived to-day, and is in attend
ance. The weather is delightful, which
proves of great benefit to the sick patient
| The doctors do not feel alarmed at his i'll
| ness ~

Hewitt, Negley and Church Talked of for
President.


ICoryri9h lsSs, by The California associated PressI
WARRINGTON, August 12th.-Delegates of
the American party are arriving in force
They meet on Tuesday TO select candidates
for President and Vice President and to
adopt platform. An informal conference
of members in this city was held to-day
but no action decided upon.
Secretary Bassett, of San francisco,
talked quite freely tonight of the hopes of
the party. He said: The question of
selecIlug candidate for President will be
about the first thing taken up in the Con-
vention. 1t is likely that there will be a
sharp fight over the selection The Califor-
mia delegates all come instructed to vote
for Hewitt, while the New Workers will
vote solidly for Church. and Pennsylvania
will do the same thing for General Negley.
There is little question, however, but
that Hewitt could get the nomination with
| out difficulty, if he would accept it, but
there seems TO be some doubt about that.
"Mr. Wigginton, however, received let
| ter from him to-day in which he replied to
| question as to whether he would accept
or not by saying that he had never refused
to accept the nomination. That is q rather
negative answer, but from that am led to
| believe that he would take il if it was un-
! animous. There will be some little fight
| over the advisabillty OF the nomination of
a National candidate this year. Some of
| the delegates will hold that it is a mistake,
but California will insist upon it to such
an extent that in case the Convention re-
| fuses, our delegates will go home and nom
mate candidates themselves. We are
determined to see what we can DO.
Nothing has been done about the plat
| form, but it is certain to contsin a plank
demanding the unconditional repeal of the
naturalization laws. 1t will also declare
for the protection of American labor and
American laborers. There will be about
four hundred delegates present at the Con-
vention, coming from every State in the
Union. Ten of the California delegates are
already on hand, four more will get here
tomorrow, and the other two cannot
come"

Harbor, Maine.
BAR HARBoR (Me.l, August 12th.-There
is great excitement here over the supposed
drowning of two young society people,
and the water is covered with crafts of va
rious kinds engaged in searching for some
trace of the missing ones. At9 o'clock
last night j. Harmon Rodee and Miss
Milliken took cruise out and around Bar

She had picked up the boat, bottom-up, of
Egg Rock, distance OF three miles from

Miss Milliken was guest at st. Saveur,

stronger man for the Republicans than
| Governor Porter. Harrison is not so strong
with the soldier element in his STATE as
HoVey."
MINNESOTA soLIDLY EEPUBLIcAN.
The Chairman of the Minnesota Demo
cratic Committee has written a letter IN
which he says that the Democrats must not
count upon carrying that Slate. He frankly
admits that large majority of the voters
OF The state are in favor of protection and
the party that represents it.
JERSEY SWINGING INTO LINE.
Those in position to know say that the
outlook in New Jersey has materially
frightened within the last few weeks
Ihe defeat of Blaine at Chicago dampened
the arGor of Republicans down there, and
1t was some time before they could be per-
suaded to so to work again. Things are all
In shape now, however and Hobart and
Sewell both express a firmer tone, and the
ioimer 1t is whispered, has bet large sums
that Harrison will carry the State. In no
other State has the tariff question entered
more largely into the result not even ex-
cepung Connecticut. The fact cannot be
denied, even by the Democrats, that New
Jersey, once q Democratic stronghold, has
year by year been drifting away from the
party of free trade.
IN VIRGINIA.
l have it from the most reliabie source
that, all rumors to the contrary notwith-
surnding, the Republican ReadiUster diff
culties in virginia will be readjusted within
the eAsuing week. Malone has decided TO
yield some of the disputed points in order
TO secure harmony in the State II is not
TO be supposed that Mr.. Malone has done
this out OF love fer his political enemies in
his own party in that State. That would
not be Malone. AS fighter, Mahonenever
knows what il is to give quarter, but
the Republican National Committee has
stepped in and delivered its mandate, and
Mahone has had the good sense to obey.
This was done by Chairman Quay, who
sees good opportunity to gain several
Congressional districts and does not plo-
pose to allow petty jealousies to prevent it.
This determination Of Mr.. Quay to fight
hard for all close Congressional districts
will be felt
IN MARYLAND, TOO,
The Republicans are confident that with
stitf hight they can gain two aud perhaps
three Congressional districts. MeComes, |
in the Sixth, Gill undoubtedly win for
them. In the Fifth things will be diff
terent, and the fight will be made on q |
different basis. With a strict party vote |
the Republicans would have no chance. |
They will therefore put all their efforts into |
splitting the Democratic vote on the tariff |
question, and it is likely they will succeed, !

relative merits of two respective measures
OF legislation neither of which have been
passed upon by the CO ordinate branches
of the National legislature.
President Cleveland was notified of his
nomination some time before the Republi-
can Committee notified Mr.. Harrison of his
nomination, and the letter of the former
will be published before that of the Repub-
lican nominee, unless Cleveland is afraid to
state his grounds OF acceptance in advance
of those OF his opponent. Four years ago
Cleveland declared himself against Sec

prevent him from greedily announcing his
desire to take another measure of fodder
from the public crib.

Copyright, 1888, By the for7ia associated PressI
WASHINGTON, August 12th.-The present
week in Congress bids fair to be as dull
and uneyentful AS its predecess sor. In the
Senate the fisheries treaty will have the
right of way until the tariff bill comes in
to displace it. and it is not probable-even
should the Finance Committee finish its
work-that its bill will be formally
brought up for consideration until
the fisheries treaty is disposed of
Should the Democratic Senators success
fully filibuster against the rejection of the
fisheries treaty, the tariff bill would be the
next business in order. The wool, lumber
and sugar schedules are those which give
the Finance Committee the most trouble,
but it is believed they can all be satisfac-
torily adjusted in few days.
In the House the general deficiency and
fortifications appropriations bill and con-
ference reports on the army and navy ap-
preparations bill will consume the most of
the time of the daily sessions. Further at
tempts to pass the 0klohoma bill will be
made by Mr.. Springer Of Illinois.

When the formation Of troops was COM
pleted at the grave eight stalwart sergeants
of artillery lifted the casket from the csisson
and bore it with slow. careful steps down
to the mouth of the open grave placing it
there upon rods ready to be lowered to its
resting-place when the ground should be
consecrated by the priests.
After moment of reverent silence, the
clear voice of the Bishop-elect was heard
nttering the words of blessing: 80 God. by
whose mercy the souls of the faithful find
rest, deign to bless this grave and send Thy
holy angels to guard it, and loose all the
bonds of those whose bodies are here in
TERED, that they may ever rejoice in Thee
with Thy saints, through Jesus Christ, our
Lord amen" With sprig of fir, plucked
from neighboring branch, holy water was
sprinkled over the grave and the casket
was lowered by the sergeants.
The regular burial service, beginning
with the Benedictus and ending with the
chanting of De Profundus by choir oi
Dominican priests, brought the religious
features of the obsequies to an end.
The usual military rites were then per.
formed, after which the family and friends
