Spiritual Mauifestations as Done
bV HERMANN,

The great modern wizard, Herman,
has taken Los Angeles by storm. His
houses are among the largest ever seen
at the Grand. They are scarcely less
packed at the end of the week than they
were at the beginning. Last night he
varied the programme by giving "spir-
itual manifestation" as the last act. He
explained the tricks as they were
made, and created not only
no little fun but no little downright in
terest as we'll.
The season closes with grand matinee
at P. NJ. and the regular performance
tonight. The afternoon session is sure
to be great time for the children who
will enjoy Herrmann's magic tricks, as
well as D'Alvini's juggling.

Gen. Sheridan Ill.

CHICAGO, May 22.-The DAILY Netcs
Washington special says: Ever since his
return from the West, last Saturday, Gen.
Sheridan has been suffering from nervous
prostration, and the fact that there was a
consultation of physicians at his house
this afternoon has excited grave appre-
tensions among his friends. DR.. Yarrow
told pe this evening that there was moth
ing in the generals condition calculated
to excite apprehension and hat he was
getting along nicely and would. in all
probability, be out of the house and at his
office again in a few days. Col. Sheridan
said:
The general is not very i'll. He is not
so i'll as he has been a great many times in
his life and we are not at all concerned
about it. He has just returned from a
very quick and hard trip to the West,
spending five nights on sleeping cars, and
when he returned he was thoroughly tired
out. He had also exposed himself to the
sun more than was wise in Cincinnati and
this has rather Frustrated him. All he
needs is a rest and as he is getting that
there is no occasion for alarming reports. "

CONGRESSIONAL.
A Number of House Bills Favor.
ably Reported.
Bill for the Relief of Postmaster
Warden Vetoed.
The Fisheries Treaty to be Pri-
vately Considered.
Congressional Notes.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-The following
bills were reported tavorably to the house
to day: To provide for the sale OF lands
patented to certain members of the Flat
Head band of Indians in Montana. The
senate bill making $3.50, 900 the limit Of
the cost of the cost for a public building
at Sacramento with an amendment in
creasing the limit of the cost to 5000. 600.
The house committee on military affairs
to-day adopted the report of the sub
committee in the matter of the Fort
Brown military reservation. The commit
tee favored the allowance of compensation
Of $4,000 to the original owners of the
reservation, based upon q cash value OF
$4,000 and rent at the rate of 81 900 per
mum for forty years during which the
property was occupied by the govern
ment.
A message from the president return
ing without his approval the senate bill
for the relief of l.. j. Warden was laid
before the senate to-day. The bill directs
an allowance of 1925 to Mr.. Warden, re-
Gently postmaster at Lawrence, Kas., for
extra clerk hire from July |, 1882. to
June 80. 1883. The grounds for the veto
are that allowances to postmasters for
clerk hire are fixed by the postal depart
ment; that in his case SO, 100 was allowed
and that applications for additional allow
ance were twice declined; that the expens-
es were therefore incurred at the post
masters own risk. and that the passage of
special acts in such cases would have a
dangerous tendency to encourage post
masters to substitute their own Judgment
for that of the department and to relax
wholesale discipline.
The senate has decided by a vote of %
to 81 not to consider the fisheries treaty
in open session. The decision was upon
strict party lines except in the case of
Senator Hale, who voted with the Demo
Gratis adversely to the Riddleberger reso-
luton. Upon the announcement of the
result the body went at once into legisla-
tive session. No time was fixed for tax
ing up the treaty.
The senate committee on finance this
morning ordered an adverse report on the
factional currency bill, but in its place a
bill will be reported reducing the fee upon
postal notes for less than one dollar to one
cent.
Although no positive action has yet
been taken by the majority of the ways
and means committee upon the amend
ments offered by the Democratic members
to the tariff bill, it is reported by some of
the representatives directly interested in
the wooden schedules, that they have been
assured that by way of a compromise the
committee will accept an amendment re-
ducing the duty on wooden manufacturers
from the 40 per cent fixed in the bill to 35
per cent. The members of the committee
decline to indicate how they will act upon
the amendment, which was originally of
fered by Grain of Texas, and proposed to
admit wooden manufacturing machines
duty free and reduce the tariff on wooden
manufactures to 25 per cent.

Democratic state convention will meet
here TO morrow. Congressman Scott ap-
pears to have a decided majority with him

friends OF the administration of being
able to control the convention that they
have prepared 3 platform in.full, which it
is expected will be adopted without any
difficulties. 1t endorses the president and
the Mills tariff bill and is otherwise lust
what Congressman Scott and his friends
desire.
BosToN. May ga large number of
prominent Republicans from all sections
of the state met to-day and formed a state
league Republican club. George A. Mars
den was elected president. James Ii.

AUGUSTA, Me-, May 22.-The Demo
cratic state convention met this morning
and was called to order by S. s. Brown
Of the state committee. A. A. Powers

address advocating a continuation of the
administration of President Cleveland. /
The following were elected delegates at
large: Payson Tucker, Arthur S. Ewall,
X. O. Allen and James Tobin. Hon. w.
l.. Putnam of Portland was nominated for
governor.
The platform approves the efforts Of
the Democrats in congress to pass a bill
which, in the language of President
Cleveland, will relieve the people from
unnecessary taxation, having due regard
to the interest of capital invested and the
workingmen employed in American in
dustries, and SAYS: I'VE do not advocate
free trade, but favor and desire a revision
OF the present unjust and b%urdensome
tariff laws"

tary Bayard in connection with the fishery
treaty was approved, as is also Cleveland's
administration.

ing the repeal Of the state %prohibitory law
in the interest of good society and tenn
perance. This was rejected and the minor
ity report adopted, scathinglY denouncing
the Republican party for hypocrisy and
duplicity in secretly combining with the
violators of the law which they pretended
to support, to secure for such violators
immunity from prosecution and declaring
that such practices corrupt public morals,
ensender disrespect for the law and en-.
courage dishonesty, bribery and perjury,
while the party engaging in them is
worthy of the contempt and condemna-
ton of good citizens.
The meeting. then adjourned.

CHICAGO, May pa dispatch from
San Francisco says a heavy sentence has
been imposed on Simon Hamburg for
swindling a man out of $4,000. Last
November Hamburg and an accomplice
sold to a man named Parker, an Oregon
farmer, certain real estate in this city to
which they had no title. Parker did not
examine the title, but gave them $3,0 o
cash and his farm in Oregon worth
Sc, 500.
When recently the title to the city
property was found to he defective, Ham
burg entered the plea that he sold under
the belief hat the title was perfect, but
he would not refund the money. Later
Hamburg's accomplice confessed that
Hamburg had deliberately planned to rob
Parker of his money.
The jury then found Hamburg guilty
and the court sentenced HIM to imprison.
ment in the county Jail for one year and a
line OF $4,000, and that in. default Of
payment of the line he be further impris.
soned at the rate Of one day for each dol,
lar. 1t the fine is o paid Hamburg will
therefore have to serve altogether fifty.
three years and twenty days.

CHICAGO, May 22.-In the case of
Ursula Gestefeld against Theodore Geste-
field, the well known journalist formerly
of this city, the evidence was repeated
and instances of his infidelity during the
past fifteen years was introduced.
Mrs. Gestefeld is very prominent in
Christian science circles and the case at.
tracted great interest. She had not lived
with her husband for some years past.
The feature of the days proceedings was
the introduction of a most remarkable
letter to his daughter. written while the
defendant was in Mexico employed on the
Itoo Republics. In this most romantic
story he confessed his love for a Miss
Adds, formerly a writer, living at Los
Angeles, Gala, but who had moved to
Mexico, and who, through his influence,
secured a position on the 7too Republics.
He also introduced the name of Nellie
Bly,, a well known New York correspond
ent, and several prominent New York and
Chicago people. The letter altogether
was a most singular confession of illicit
love, and wound up by asking his daugh-
ter TO explain things to mamma, as she
could do so better than he and to assure
her he had done nothing radically wrong
and had recovered from his blindness
The court instructed Mrs. Gestefeld's at
torney to prepare a decree.
