charge of Roscoe Conkling cut away por-
tion of the temporal bone and found a Sc
cretion of matter, which wss removed
The operation was very successful one,
and gives the patient chance for bis life.

expected that there will be any change in
his condition for several hours
NO CHANGE AT p NJ
M.-Conkling remains unconscious
but the surgeons entertain hopes of his re-
covery now.
WHAT TEE DOCTORS sAY.
$50 P. h.-The physicians regard his
condition as more favorable. Mr.. Conk-
ling will probably remain unconscious all
night because OF the anesthetic which was
administered
Doctors Baker and Sand left the sick
chamber at 9:45, and will not return until
9 A. NJ. tomorrow.
THE SURGICAL OPERATION
Performed upon the distinguished patient
this evening was a very delicate one. Ii
consisted in cutting and the removal of a
part of the temporal bone, the incision be-
be felt just behind the ear. Beneath this
lies the mechanism of the ear, and in cases
in which this mechanism becomes involved
in serious suppuration, as in this instance,
it becomes necessary to make an opening
through which the pus may be drawn off
When the region of the inner ear was
reached tube was inserted and about an
ounce of pus drained from the head, appa-
rently atfording the patient great relief.
RESTING AT IL P. NJ.

Mr.. Stokes, in going out, saw Dr. Sands
at the door. He asked the doctor if Conk-
ling had any chance. DR.. Sands said: He
may like forty-eight hours, but l doubt
it,"
Conkling insists on rising and walking
about The room, bat does so in deirium, as
he has not regained consciousness.
AT 1:30 A. NJ there was little difference in

SENATOR STANFORD.
Coming to be Regarded as Strong
Presidential Candidate

WASHINGTON, April 9th.-The Sunday
Herald publishes the following editorial
paragraph: There are indications of a
spontaneous movement for Senator Stanford
as the Republican candidate for President
The undeniable popular strength shown by
such candidates as Depew and Stanford is
one of the most curious signs of the times.
Evidently people do not intend to consider
all railroad Presidents and millionaires as
public enemies, but discriminate between
the broad, fair and humane, and wizards
and wreckers.
Without doubt Depew is very popular in
New York, and Governor Stanford equally
or more so on the Pacific slope. His mag
nihcent charities, his unsullied private
character and amiable personal traits are of
the kind to attract popular favor There is
no doubt that the Republican party might
go farther and fare worse

SAN FRANCISCO, April 9th-An important
seizure was made this afternoon on the
dock of the Pacific Coast Steamship Com
pany, which has greatly flurried the clerks
in III eemploy of Goodal, Perkins & Co.,
and caused Surveyor Tinnin to put on an
air of secreliveness which is painful to be-
hold. Among the imports on the last
steamer from the north were three cases
supposed to contain household effects, that
being what they were entered on the
steamers manifest. They were consigned
to Chinese firm in this city, and the sus-
picion of the Custom house officials be-
came aroused and the contents OF the cases
were investigated The result of the inves-
tigation was that the Innocent looking
cases OF household effects were found to
contain IS coo worth of prepared opium,
and in all likelihood manufactured in one
OF the British Columbia factories.
In connection with the opium seizure
was the arrest of a dapper little Chinaman
who visited the dock fer the purpose of re-
ceiving the cases.
