WASHINGTON, june LIDO A. M.-So far as
can be learned at the house. there has been no
change in General Sheridan's condition since

are in immediate charge. Everything is quiet.
There is an unofficial report that the General 10

ga. M-General Sheridan has had q slight at
tack Of coughing. but otherwise there does not
appear to be any change. He dozes at in
t~ervsls. and when he swskens lies back fatieued
and exhausted. 1t is not believed that
there IL reason to spprehend any immediate
danger. Another bulletin, it is now said.

Dr. OReilly received q telegram.
. short while ago. and told
the attendant not to waken any one until 4:30

FACE TO FACE WITH DEATH
Gen. S~heridan's Life Hangs by a Slens

The Disease Battles the Attendant Doctors and
Two Distinguished Specialists Are Called
"A Day Of Anxiety and Distress.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WAsHNeToS, May 3L-Genera. sberidan's
life hangs on . slender thread tonight, and it
is very doubtful IL he ever sees the light Of day
again. At IL o'clock il was reported that ne
was dying, and crowds Of people gathered on
the street-corners and around the hotels and
discussed the latest symptoms as meagerly
given out by the physicians through friends.
Il soon became known that DR.. Lincoln
had been called in as an additional
consulting physician, and that DR.. Pepper,
the celebrated heart specialist, had been sum-
moned from Philadelphia, and was expected to
arrive on Q special train some time during the
early hours of the morning. The physicians
who have regularly stood by the bedside Of the
gallant warrior acknowledged that the disease
was battling them. and that they were unable to
tell whether he was dying or going into one OF
the sinking spells which have brought
him 80 near deaths door three
or four times during the past
week. The family gathered in the sufferers
room at midnight, and it was seen that
he was going. He breathSd very heavily.
and for . while it did not appear that he
could survive an hour.
Life is liable to 60 ont like the light Of a
snuhed candle at any time" said one OF the
physicians.
An effort was made at midnight
to conceal the fact that the gravest
apprehensious were entertained as to
the situation. A long line of carriages and cabs
was drawn up against the curb-stone near Gen.
Saeridan's residence. from IL to IL o'clock. In
them were many officers, Congressman and pub
lie officials, who gathered in groups and dis
cussed the probable outcome Of the last attack.
1t was the universal opinion that General Sheri-
dan could not live through the night.

THE MILLS BILL.

Interesting Discussion of the Measure Under
the Five-Minufe Rule.
Special to the Indianapolis Jourpsx
WASHINGTON, May 3L-It was not until to-
day that the debate on the Mills bill was begun
In the House in real earnest Shortly after
noon Mr.. Mills called MP the bill for amendment
and consideration under the fve-minute rule.
The scene on the floor at the time was extreme
ly interesting. Every member in the city was
in his seat. and scarcely q chair was unoccupied,
most Of those who were absent from the city
having been called here for action. The Demo
Gratis expected the Republicans to fight consid-
GRAFTON, but there was no contest. and the meas
ure came up promptly. The galleries had few
spectators, but the increase Of interest mani
Tested by the members made the occasion almost
exciting. Mr.. Adams, of Chicago, started the
ball rolling by moving to strike out July /, 1888,
and insert Jan. /, 1889, az the time when the
proposed Law shall take effect. Immediately
Mr. Adams precipitated discussion
on fres lumber. by showing the
effect the measure would have upon
the lumber interest If 1t became law. as pro-
posed, on the LIST Of noxt July. The debate ran
along al afternoon on free lumber. every man
taking his i've minutes on tho Adams amend
ment There was great activity among the
members who spoke. many of them talking at
one and the same time. Mr.. Lind, of Minneso-
ia, made the speech of the afternoon. Although
. Republican, he earnestly advocated free lum-
Der. He declared that it was inconsistent to en-
courage the destruction of our forests by main
tanning a duty on foreign lumber, while, at the
same time. we were giving away immense bodies
of lands under the timber-culture law. He de-
clared that the government has given much
more in value in lands under the timber culture
act than it had derived from the tariff on lum-.
Der. The Democrats a~pplaudsd Mr.. Lind en-
Enthusiastically.
Mr.. Breckenridge. of Kentucky, created .
furore when he sent to the
Clerks desk to be read q speech
by Mr.. Blaine against taxing lumber. The
point was taken out or it, howev or, when Mr..
Mckinley showed that Mr.. Blaine spoke against
an internal tax on domestic lumber and not
against the duties on foreign lumber.

The Carthage Record takes consOla-

ton "the tyrsny OF the bosses that

those who have any brains OF their

cord says: "There has for years been

make for the slaughter that democrat

The Democrat regrets to see a dis
position on the part OF half dozen,
probably, indiscreet democratic papers
in the state to keep up the late fac
tion war by continually gaffing and
twitting those who differed with them
as to who was the best man to receive
the nomination for governor. That
matter was settled by the convention,
and all this talk about the terrific
battle" between "the people"
and the politicians" is the sheerest
nonsense. There was no such battle,
and it is wrong and foolish for news
papers to attempt to convey that inn
preston There was q fight between
a number of candidates for governor
which was very extensively partici-
pated in by their friends and person
II followers, and fordays the air was
filled with fur, some scalps and other
refuse OF a political battle, and that
was all there was in it. There is moth
ing to be gained by keeping up the
fight. This is no time to make ene-
mics in the household. If you are a
member Of the family with gaping
wounds, do what you can to heal
them. Don't keep them continually
torn open.--Ndshvills Democrat.

HICKS CARMICHAEL.
Convicted Of Murder in the First De.
gree. To Hang July 90. r.

KNOXVILLE, TENN, May 26.--Hieks
Carmichael, the negro who murdered
Deputy Sheriff Shipe last Sunday, was
brought from Chattanooga this mora
ing at 2 o'clock, He was met at the
depot by a squad OF police and twenty
armed men, and taken to Jail. Every.
thing was perfectly quiet. This morn
ing at 9O'clock he was taken from the
Jail under strong guard, taken be-
fore Judge Logan Of the criminal
court, now in session. The court
house was packed with an immense
crowd, but there was not the slightest
disorder. Carmichael wanted to plead
guilty, but was finally prevailed upon
to accept the advice of a counsel. Gen.
r. N. Hood was appointed counsel for
him, who entered plea OF not guilty.
A jury was soon empaneled, including
some OF the best citizens OF the coun-
ty. Four witnesses for the state we re
examined, but the defense offered
none. The prisoner had no statement
to make, and no arguments were made
by either side. The judges charge
was brief and pointed. The jury re-
turned with verdict Of guilty of MUIR
der in the first degree without xten-
uating circumstances. Gen. Hoods
motion for new trial was overruled.
The prisoner had nothing to say.
Gen. Hood stated that the defendant
had no desire to delay execution, and
only asked for time to prepare for
death. He would make no appeal 10
the supreme court. Carmichael was
then sentenced to hang Jul y20. The
trial lasted three hours. The negro
was then taken back to jail. There
was no interference. Everything was
perfectly quiet, and every one satisfi-
ed. There was no disposition what
ever to lynch the negro. Reports pub
lished in the Nashville American
about attempts to lynch Carmichael,
and the lawless acts of the mob, are
greatly exaggerated.

thatthe democrts of Tennessee adhere

Gov. Taylor's Victory.

Gov. r. l.. Taylor has again been
nominated for Governor of Tennessee
by the Democratic State Convention.
The opposition to him was furious,
but so greatly Ia the minority that to
yield to the majority was the only al
ternative. Nhe convention balloted
for nearly week before nomination
was made. The opposition to Taylor,
came manifestly from the professional
and theoretical politicians, and was
hitter. ard daring, while his support
came from the people and was enthu-
siastietand determined. All the. tac-
ties known to parliamentary skill were
resotted'to defeat tho majority, but
the Taylor men announced that they
were there to stay ill their favorite
was nominated. I'VE will stay here
I'LL Christmas or nominate our man"
was their positive assertion. Taylor
developed more strength in the con.
rention than all his opponents com
ihined, and nearly twice as much, as
any of them, and if the principle to
which democrats adhere, that majori-
yty shall rule, is correct one, it was
right that he shonld have the nomina-
rtion, Gov. Taylor is young man
whose achievements on the political
arena have been grand, and he is the
envyof many Of the old politicians
who have ruled the roost" in
the democratic household OF Ten,
nessee for 30 long time. On
the mere technically that Taylor was
an favor Of federal aid to common
schools, the boases have discovered in
him dangerous foe to democracy
How absnrd! Il il tEus that Gov
