and Decreasing Receipts.
ST. LOUIS, May SO.-A genuine journa-
listic sensation will be produced by to-
morrow's issue of the Missouri Republican.
1t appears in new dress throughout, and
contains the announcement of the new
managers, Charles H. Jones, recently
of the Florida Times Union, as
editor, and Charles W. Knapp, publisher
and business manager. The name is
changed to the st. Louis Republic, and the
price is reduced to &c. copy, with pro-
portionate reduction by the year. The
Republic is the first Of the older papers
in st. Louis to reduce the &c.
rate, and Cincinnati is thus left as the only
one Of the important cities Of the country
in which that price is maintained 1t is
also the first Of the old papers TO remove
advertisements from the first page. which
will now be reserved exclusively for reading
matter. The managers promise that the
Republic will keep at the front as a first
class metropolitan journal in all respects.
They say that the reduction i'll price does
not mean a reduction in size, but on
tho contrary an enlargement, and
that arrangements have been perfected for
increased news service, both foreign and do
nestle. This step on the part Of the Re
publican opens new era in st. Louis jour
nalsm, which promises to be much livelier
thah heretofore.

SHERIDAN NEAR HIS END
A SUDDEN CHANGE FOR THE
WORSE IN HIS CONDITION.

Hopes That He Would Recover Dashed
to Earth by a Coughing Spell Which
Quickly Brought His Case to a Most
Alarming Point-Heart-Fai Apt
to Occur at Any Moment.
WASHINGTON, May S0.-The following
bulletin was issued at $50 o'clock this morn
ing:
MAY 30, GA M.--Cien. Sheridan passed COM
Portable night sleeping we'll and for longer
periods than on the previous night. All the i'm
provement reported in last evenings bulletin is
maintained.
ROBERT NJ OREILLY.
W. MATTHEWS.
HENRY YARRow.
At $50 o'clock this afternoon the condi-
tion Of Gen. Sheridan was reported as ia
early last Monday. He is almost on his way
to recovery.
A HARRASSING COUGH.
A bulletin of Gen. Sheridan's physicians,
timed 8:45 o'clock, but not given out until
10 o'clock, says: "Gen. Sheridan's s,condition
is not so favorable as it was at the
time of the last bulletin, owing to
the fact that a harrassing cough has ap-
peared, making him restless and preventing
sleep" This bulletin created an uneasy
feeling outside of Gen. Sheridan's house,
and it was announced that no more bull
letins would be issued until tomorrow
morning.
MUCH WORSE.
WASHINGTON, May 81, l: :25 A. M-Gen
Sheridan's condition has changed very much
for the worse. The following bulletin has
been issued by his physicians, timed 12:45
o'clock this morning:
At 10 O'Clock Gen Sheridan was suddenly
threatened with sufocation from pulmonary
effusion, and for awhile was in imminent peril.
The attack was mastered with difficulty At
this hour immediate danger has apparently
passed. All the physicians are at the Generals
bedside and fear that death may ensue at any
moment.
VERY CRITICAL.
WASHINGTON. 81, 2 A. M.-Sheridan
is now as critically i'll as at any time of his
sickness There has been more or less of
recurrence of the heart trouble, but the ex-
act degree and extent of it cannot
be learned at this hour. 1t is,
however complicated, by severe and dan
gerous affection of the lungs, and the great
est alarm prevails among Gen Sheridan's
physicians and family The use of oxygen,
which had been discontinued, has been re-
sumed. The first symptoms of the present
attack were noticed about o'clock, when
the General was seized with a spell Of
coughing.
INCREASE OF THE COUGH.
As time went by this coughing increased
in frequency aud in vigor, and grave alarm
began to be felt among all the household.
About 10 o'clock the General was seized
with u severe and retching cough,
which filed all within the house with tho
gloomiest forebodings. This pulmonary
affection brought on another faintness of
the hearts action, and the pulse grew
weaker and weaker Digitalis was admin
istered to counteract the feebleness OF the
heart. For some time the General appeared
to be very much like drowning man, and
it was feared that the end had come.
WONDERFUL RALLY.
By extraordinary exertions, however,
the patient has rallied again, and at 1880
O'Clock he had improved to some extent.
His breathing was still laborious and
heavy, and not person in the room left
his bedside.

cept Wyoming. The committee then
stated that it had decided to
permit the delegates present to cast the
full vote of their State; and also that pro-
visional delegates be given full power to
vote in the convention. This gives a total
vote of ,030, although the actual number
of delegates present will fall considerably

deavcring to complete discussion of the
subjects in hand in time to submit reports
to the convention tomorrow morning.
The Platform Committee, the one about
which the greatest interest centers, has its
