SHERMAN HOLDING
HIS OWN; CONDITION
STILL UNCHANGED

UTICA, n. Y, Oct. 29.--Vice Presi-
dent Sherman passed a fairly comfort
able night and his condition today re-
NAMED unchanged from yesterday. 1t
was the most restful night Mr.. Sher-
man had had since Friday, and mem
bers of the vice presidents family APP
peared to take hope that there is a
chance of his surviving his grave ill
ness
Doctors spent practically all of last
night at the bedside of the vice presi-
dent watching for any possible unto
ward development in his patients con
dition, but there appeared to be none.
Mr. Sherman had less difficulty in
breathing and there was less suffer
ing from the kidney complication than
in some hours.
Excepting the members Of his family,
the physicians and nurses, no one is
permitted to see Mr.. Sherman. The
greatly weakened condition of his heart
makes it imperative that he be not
excited in the slightest degree.
