at 1:12 o'clock this morning. Mr..
'Gresham's illness began May 1, when
he was attacked with acute pleu-

cavity, but this condition yielded to
treatment until last Saturday, when he
suffered a relapse accompanied by
acute pneumonia. His condition since
that time has been extremely critical.
His heart action became enfeebled
requiring the constant administration
of the most powerful heart stimulants.
By midnight the signs of dissolution
were crowding thick and fast. The

1t Is Probable That President Cleveland
WIN Name No One at Present.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-It was init
mated in the official circles yesterday
evening that Secretary Gresham's sue
cessor in the cabinet would not be
named for several weeks, and that in
the meantime Assistant Secretary Uhl
would perform the duties. Grave inter
national problems are pressing
for solution, but the president
has always taken such deep
interest in every detail of state
department affairs that foreign min
lister is not strict necessity of the
moment. The most serious question
now pending in the state department
is the Venezuelan boundary dispute.
Secretary Gresham, acting under the
presidents instruction, had already re-
quested Great Britain to submit the
points of the controversy to arbitra-

Commissioner Parker said that he had
spoken to Chief Byrnes and that the

WASHINGTON, May 27.-New treaties
of far reaching Importance have re-
Gently been made between Nicaragua
and Honduras. and officials copies have
just been received in Washington.
The treaties have been under. ne
gotiation some time and were finally
put into effect by proclamation on
the 18th of last month. They are the
first practical steps toward the forma-
ton of a Central American nation out
of the several small republics, Near
aqua, Honduras, Guatemala, Sal
vador and Costa RIGA. The first
treaty forms defensive ALI
ance in case of foreign war, and
offensive alliance against common en-
emies. It obliterates commercial from
tiers SO that foreign goods once admit
ted to one country are free to enter the
other. An express provision is made.
against the possibility of war between
the countries by an article requiring
differences to be adjusted by arbitra-
ton by some government on the Amer
lean continent.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Nav 29-With
crude Pennsylvania oil at S1.65, and
a continuation of the great activity in
searching for wells the results of May
operations are exceedingly discourag-
ing to the operators and the Standard.
No wells of consequence have been
found. No new fields have been To-
Gated. May reports show a greater
number OF dry holes to the numbe of
new wells drilled than have ever be-
fore disguised prospectors during a
period Of thirty days. In the south
western field new wells have been a
succession of disappointments, and
some who are on the inside say the
Standard will be forced to put up oil
to s., and perhaps higher, before many
days, to stimulate the search. For
two years no new field has been dis
covered. Isolated pools only have
been found by the drills The latest
pool found is in the Wildwood district,
16 miles from Pittsburgh. The pool is
in the fourth sand and has already
produced three busters" All the
new wells brought in since the excite
ment some weeks ago are bumpers.
But two new wells were completed
last week. One was buster and the
other very small. The drilling on the

The Tin Plate INDUSTRY.

the most remarkable instances of in

as can be gathered from the latest re-

twenty-eight tin plate works proper,
rolling their own black plates. Ten more
are building, two or three of which

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, May 29.-Nat
Sulzbacher, of this city, returned yes
terday from the Devils river country,
where he came near being victim of
the terrible flood that visited that sec

belonging to the same family were
drowned, but their bodies have not
been recovered. The victims were

two brothers and three sisters. They
lived on the bank of DEVILS river,
which rose 80 feet within thirty
minutes and swept their house and the
whole family into the raging torrent,
All the houses in the Prosser ranch,
between Juno and Comstoclz, were
swept away, and several families, num-
bering in all about twenty persons,
are believed to have been drowned.
