THE PUBLIC BUILDING.

s75, 900 for postofflce building at Fort
Worth, obtained favorable report from
the Senate committee to-day. The Sen
ator urged the claims Of Fort Worth In
such d way the committee easily conceed-
ed his request, and the building is now
an assured thing. Considering the struc-
ture Is to be devoted to one purpose
only, the appropriation may be consid-
cred IS fairly liberal, and IS above The
average.
MORE UNFAYORABLE.
WASHINGTON, March 2G AT noon to-
day the condition OF Chairman Mills was
regarded by his physician ss rather more
uufevorable thsn at any time since he WAS
taken i'll. He has zen ext emely restless
from the beginning CT his Illness, and dur
| ing last night he did not close his eyes in
sleep. His teVer has returned to slight
degree and he is very weak. He is IN
sble to cit up even long enough to have
! mis- bed arranged. He seems wholly IN
able to keep his mind from his committee
work and often talks OF Il
when apparently unconscious
of the prese2ce OF Others.
at about IL :45 DR.. Sewers, his physician,
cslled aud prescribed o narcotic, since
which time he has slept soundly and with
apparent restiulness. The doctor said to
Mrs. Mills this afternoon that there was
nothing in his condition to cause alarm;
that he only needed rest, absolute rest.
To an inquiry as to whether there were
any indications Of pneumonia the doctor
stated that there were none.
| MILLS AND HIS MEASURE.
Special to the Gazette.
WAsHINGToN, March 26.-The revenue
reduction DILL will be reported to the
| House on Tuesday or Wednesday, as Il is
believed Mr.. Mills will be we'll enough by
that time TO appear at the cspitol. He
will Give notice that he will ask the House
60 consider it in about ten days there
after. It Is supposed that the general
debate on it will last six weeks and that
the consideration by sections will use up
a week more so that the final action Of the
House, it is thought, will take place
toward the end OF May. The fate Of the
bill is Of course somewhat uncertain be-
csuse its opponents will make bite:
and desperate struggle eg.:nst Il, but Its
prospects at this time
ARE FAIRLY GCoD.
Mr.. Mills WAS reported not 80 we'll this
morning. He lad no return OF fever
Yesterday nor this morning, but he has
been unable to eat or sleep. Powerful
opistes administered last night did
not secure to him NO
ment's sleep. The family do not
fear any serious results, yet 1t msy be
several days before he Is able to resume
his labors in the House. Al the residence
of Representative Mills this afternoon it
was stated that Mr.. Mills wss utterly un-
able to sleep last night, and to-day he WAS
suffering from loss OF sleep. His doctor
seid he would improve rapidly il he could
get some sleep. Mr.. Mills has been work
ing very hard for tho past four months.
This statems n may occasion some
surprise among that class OF newspaper
!, readers who believe thst members Of
Congress have little to do beyand loung-
ing about their seats and dancing attend
auce uoon the 3erent social events OF
the season.
DELAY THE TARIFF BILL.
WASHING TON, March 26 r .presenta-
tive Mill's condition is not quite so favor.
! sble this morning. His son said to q
representative of the pre- IS: "PAther Is
quite weak this morning, although We are
not at all anxious. Physicians assure as
that there ia no fever and consequently
no fear Of pneumonia. This muggys
rainy weather is against his imm sdiate
!. recovery, and the chances are that he will
MOI leave the house before the end Of the
week" The tariff oil will not be repolte1
to the House until Mills resumes his seat.
