Mr. Wilson .In Texas.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, March Pr
Congressman w. l.. Wilson arrived
here to-day from Mexico. He left
Gmadalaiara last Monday morning in
his private car and Travelled by easy
stages TO this city, reaching here this
afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Mr.. Wilson is very much emaciated,
and it was only with great effort on
his part, and assisted by other mem
bers of the party, that he was able
to reach the carriage in waiting to
convey him to bis hotel. He stated
that he was very weak and tired, al
though he had stood tie fatigue of
the journey much better than he had
expected. He asked to be excused
from being interviewed ON the situa-
ton in Congress, as regards his tar
if measure or any other subject, I'M
til he had recovered from the effects
of his long trip. His face is color
less and he speaks in an almost in
audible tone of voice. He stated he
would remain in San Antonio and
other Texas towns until thoroughly
recovered from his illness. He is
accompanied by Congressman John
Tarsney, his son VIM. H. Wilson, and
DR.. John c. Underwood, of the City
of Mexico.
When asked as to the condition of
his patient, DIR. Underwood replied ::
'Mr. Wilson has stood the trip much
better than L expected. He has had
severe attack of typhoid fever, but
is now thoroughly conyalescent, and
if he is prudent he will recover rap
idly. He has troublesome cough,
which will, 1 think, soon be made to
disappear"
WASHINGTON, March 22.-Dr. VIM.
S. Christian, an uncle of Represen-
tative VIM. L. Wilson, of West Vir-
GINA, who has at Mrs. Wilson's re-
quest been holding himself i'll readi-
ness TO hasten to Mr.. Wilson in Mex
leo, has returned to his home in Mid
dIesex county, Va, having been as
sured by kilograms to-day that Rep
resentative Wilson is rapidly regain
ing his strength. DR.. Christian was
at the Capitol to-day, where he in
formed moers of the Virginia del
egation and others of the cheering
intelligence he had received.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, March 23.-
Congressman w. L. Wilson spent a
restless night and is in a week con-
dition to-day, but DIR. Underwood,
his medical attendant, reports that
no unfavorabIe conditions have arisen
and that his patient is no worse than
when he arrived here yesterday.
Mr.. Wilson sat up few hours
yesterday, and the doctor thinks that
this is the principal cause of his weak
condition to-day. He remained in
bed all day, and admission to his
room was denied all callers. His son
stated that his father had not dis
cussed his tariff bill or any other po-
litical subject, not even with Con-
gresham Tarsney, since first at
tackled with his sickness. Young
Mr.. Wilson will probably leave tC-
morrow for Washington. Congress
