Conkling's Condition.

New York, April I3.-Dr. Anderton
left the house at 1870 O'Clock this morn.
ing and returned soon after 8. He said:
'sGonklipg rested well all night and slept
unite as well as the night previous. He
only awoke when called upon to take
medicine.
At a quarter past s Mrs. Conkling came
down stairs. There was a marked change
for the better in the appearance of the
faithful wife, who had enjoyed a good
nights rest. She spoke hopefully about
her husband. The doctors, she said. had
spoken to her in most encouraging terms
with regard to Conkling's condition.
At $50 DR.. Barker said his patients
chances Of recovery were one in six.
DR.. Barker issued the following bulletin
at 200 p. m:
Mr.. Conkling has been sleeping
quietly. This morning he walked around
Tor a little bit. He was has taken sixteen
ounces OF milk since | p. M, and there is
little improvement since this morning"
When Barker entered the sick room
this afternoon Conkling woke up and rec
ognized him, but Immediately after went
to sleep.
At 5 p. m. Conkllng was net quite so
well as at 3 p. NJ He had a nervous
twitching of the muscles and objected to
taking nourishment.
At 6:l0 p, nj. Henry Melville, Mr.
Conkling's law partner, came out of the
house and said there was no change in
Conkling's condition. His family, he
said, were very anxious. The physicians
had predicted Conkling to be better inside
of three days, but the prediction had not
been fulfilled.
The general impression at the Hoffman
house is that Conkling's condition is
more precarious than indicated in the
bulletins.
AT $50 DR.. Barker said Since 500
p. III. there has been a change for the
better. He has given up his twitching
and now takes milk. His wound has not
bren dressed to ,day and | will be satisfied
if there is no change for the worse before |
call again at II p. m, and if L find him
the anne | will go home and take a good
nights rest.
DIR. Barker arrived shortly after II
O'Clock and stayed half an hour. The pa
tent 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 previous visit,
otherwise he was unchanged.

Trouble Expected in Europe.

New YORK, April l3.-The Times
London correspo Ldent cables: There is
still nothing but Boulanger and Bismarck
in the European papers. The electoral
campaign in the department of the Nord
shows great excitement. The current
seems to be running steadily in the direc-
ton of Gen. Boulanger. Every Bou-
LANCER speech is made up of eulogy Of the
latter and attacks on Jules Ferry. Already
in the various departments $50, 900 votes
have been cast for him, and the depart
ment OF the Nord will increase it to 400,
600. All this is gravely ominous for the
republic.
Prince Bismarck has not won his fight.
This is evident from the fact that he gives
no word of rebuke to the infatuated par
tisans of Breslau, Leipsic and Dresden,
who are holding meetings and asking the
kaiser on no occount to lose the services
of the chancellor. 1t is noteworthy hat
the National Liberal party is foremost
in this undignifed work.
There are no trustworthy reports OF
progress of the dispute inside the palace
of Charlottenburg, but there is a growing
belief that Bismarck will get the worst o.
the contest, and there il a well defined
that Prince Hohenlohe, stakeholder
of Alsacr Lorraine, has been offered the
post of chancellor in succession to him,
There are also signs of serious p]Olitica
divergence between the chancellor and
the kaiser.

A Contradiction.

BERLIN, April l3.-There is now abso-
lutely no foundation for the hints appear
ing in the press that the betrothal pro-
ject of Alexander and Victoria at no dis
tnnt date will again be brought forward.
Such a contingency is out of the question
in view OF the character of the person
ages concerned and the political situation.
The report that Prince Hohenlohe and
Count Won Hatzefeld, minister to Eng
land, have been sounded as to their will
~lingness to succeed Prince Bismarck, are
untrue. The emperor has not for a mo-
ment contemplated the possibility of the
chancellor ~rcsigning.

IN THE NORTHWEST.
Output of the Minneapolis Flour Mill,

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, June S.-The Nortk-
western Miller says: The mills got out
good ronnd lot of flour last week, for all
there was considerable idleness among
them. The output for the week was "a
200 Obarrels-averaging p, 367 barrels daily
against l02, 600 barrels the previous week,
and ia, 800 barrels for the corresponding
time in 1887. There are seventeen mills
running now. against fourteen a week ago,
but the output will probably be lighter the
coming week. One mill of l, 500 barrels Ca
pacity, which was expected to start Mon
day, failed to do 50, and was reinforced by
another of 2,7O0 barrels capacity stopping
This makes seven mills, representing about
10000 barrels, that are inactive, though
this will propably be reduced 1000 barrels
by one of the number starting. Some of
the mills now running are not very well
supplied with orders and NAV be shut
down at almost any time. Flour continues
TO be stored here 10 q considerable extent,
and about l50, 900 barrels are held at Duluth
the larger part of which is said to be owned
by q Minneapolis firm.
The market is still in a most unsatisfac-
tory condition and there is little induae-
ment for millers TO keep their mills going
Feed is lower, and the miller thereby loses
good deal, which formerly enabled him
to at least get out even. Buyers ask for
concessions. and while prices are perhaps
less firm millers are not not able To grant
the reductions expected and the result is
that there is comparatively no business
done. Freight rates To Green Line coast
points in the southeast have been redu ed
i've cents per barrel. The direct exports
of -four for the week were IS, 500 barrels
against IS, 600 barrels the week before. Re
ceipts for week ending June 8: Wheat,
539 DO bushels; -four, 2S5 barrels; mil
stuff, 1863 tons. Shipments; Wheat, $780,
