Gen eral Sheridan is resting quietly. Dr. Pep per is expected to arrive from Philadel phia within half an hour. Colonel Blunt has just driven down to the train to meet him. There will probably be no change during the night as the sinking spells usually como on in the daytime. The action of the heart is bo rapid that more blood is forced into the heart than can be a-reated, hence the congestion and subse sequent hemorrhage. The general's diet is confined almost exclusively to pepto nized milk, which does not give the streugth required to combat the disease. Midnight Tfiose waiting at the bed side are expecting the spark of life to die out at any moment. All the hope and cheerfulness which marked Sunday lias gone, and instead of hope and life, it is despair and death. Sirs. Sheridan, who has been a constant attendant, bears every indication of hopelcsncss. The brave woman realizes that there is no hope and that her gallant husband is surely passing away. When the attack rame on today, it came without the premonitory symp toms which have usually manifested themselves. It was sudden and it was by the most strenous efforts that the break in the thread of life was prevented. The general had an hemorrhage which show cd that his lungs are in much worse cpfl- dition than has been admitted. Masses of coagulated blood of a dark color were expelled from the lungs and the sands of life seemed fast ebbing away. In spite of his weak condition and the sapping of his constitution by his military exertions he rallied at the ast moment when the case seemed lost, and just as his trops were lead from hopeless defeat in the old days, did - his determination to defeat disease overpower the con queror once again. But it was but the rally of a forlorn hp.pe. IJc can not -w in. He must succumb. Today the nurse from Baltimore, the faithful Sister of Charity who has been constantly at his side, was compelled to give up, and she was relieved by another from that dace. Father Chappelle, of St. Mathew's church, ha3 bceq at the house all the evening. lie Is still there an.l ready to administer the last rites of the church. Everyone has given up hope, and while all admit that previous predictions have not been borne out those present today say that the end ii certainly near, and that nothing but a miracle can $r...e him. MEXICAN MATTERS. AWorkingnian's Demonstration in Favor of President Diaz. City of Mexico, via El Paso, Tes June 4. Today there was an immense workingmen's demonstration in the inter est of the election of Gen. Porfirio Diaz, VI 1 the workingmen's societies and labor unions of thu capital and surrounding towns assembled early this morning at the statue of Carlos IIL at the city end of the Reform Drive, which leads to Chapultepec. There were perhaps G000 lersons in the assemblage, and many hundred banners wijli qpprpnrlate in scriptions and seven or eight bands. While the column was forming a number of orators addressed the assemblage, as was done at several points of the city. little later the column passed through he principal streets, and finally halted in front of the National Palace, where many thousand people had already been gathered for mure than half an hour. The air was rent with cheers or rather "vivas"' for Porfirio Diaz, the people's candidate for president- When Gen. Diaz made his appearance cn the cenlr d balcony f th-.- pnlace the enthusiasm was increased tenfold. Gen. Diaz bowed re peatedly, but nn address was impossible on account of the size of the multitude and the height of the balcony. A little 1-iter the President received a committee composed principally of presidents of societies, when there was a pleasant ex charge of fceutiiiKnt, Gen. Diaz replying to tlio remarks made by expressing his gratitude for the workingmen's demon stration of sympathy, and called attention to the Improved condition of the country and predicted continued and increased prosperity. The fact is, Gen. Diaz is the choice of nine-teuths of the people for president, and the opposition to bin is too Insig nificant to justify organization. It is to, be supposed that there will be a few electoral votes cast for other favorites, but they will be very few, There is a f jeling that it is ab3plnjely necessary for the good of the country that Diaz should remain in office four years longer, in order that h; may coutinue the work of reform and improvement which he has inaugurated. JUST A SPARK OF LIFE MILLS STRIKES A SNAC. He Attempts to Force Action by the House and the Republicans Defeat Him. Washington, June 4. The republican members of the house explain their action in breakinthe quorum in the house to day byfle statement that the day was un der the regular order set apart for mo tions to suspend the rules and pass meas ures called up by individual.. In pre paration for such an order Representa tive Merrill of Kansas had made ready to n.ove to pass the senate dependent bills. Had democrats seen fit to dispense with " suspension day " and proceed with con sideration of the tariff there would have been no opposition. But the burden of complaint among the republicans is that after Mills had recognized the character of the day by a motion to suspend the rules and pass resolution setting apart certain evening sessions for action upon committee reports, parliamentary usages were violated by the refusal of the speak cr pro tern, to recognize members on the republican side to make a suspensory motion. Therefore they refused to take up the tariff bill. The apparent explana tion of the course pursued by the demo cratic side is that the committee on rules wished to make an opportunity for legis lative business other than the tariff bill Therefore Mills pursued the plan of mov ing the report in the shape of a resolution on suspension day, when it could not be amended under the rules.

John Bull on his travels has acquired a nost unenviable reputation throughout the world for arrogance aud discourtesy, and, in fact, foi objectionable conduct of a nature which ir tersely and correctly described abroad as insular. Disagreeable though he be. he is a perfect angel in comparison to the ICnglisb schoolboy or college "caan." who, for the purpose cf acquiring foreign lan guage.

It is impossible to conceive a more unruly, noisy and rough lot than these young men and boys, many of whom have been expelled for misconduct from the public schools in England; and with their undisguised con tempt for everything foreign, and their eb Eolute lack of reverence, regard or respect for anybody or anything abroad, they con Btitute a holy terror to the inhabitants of the towns which they inflict with their presence It is to these English college "men" and boys that Is mainly attributable the intense and notorious hatred of Crown Prince William of Germany for everything pertain ing to Great Britain. They rendered his life at Bonn perfect misery and torture to him. Daring the whole period of bis schocj years in that pretty town on the banks of the fthlce he was a butt of thair practical jokes, an object of their ridicule and contempt, and repeatedly exposed to the grossest kind of in sults at their hands. To give a solitary in stance thereof it will be sufficient to state that no matter at what hour he set aside for hia swim In the river, his young English tor mentors would always make a point of tak ing their dip at the same time, and of indulg ing in the roughest kind of horse play. Thus, no sooner would the prince take hit header off the diving board, than several of them would immediately plunge, as if by accident, on top of him and prevent him from coming to the surface. This was all the more cruel as, owing to the fact of his left arm bc.ing withered and utterly rjselwss, the poor boy was, and in fact still is, little better than a cripplo. These and a thousand othangetty insults he patiently bore in stoical silence and without appearing to take any notice thereof, a fact which enraged his tormentor, and always stimulated them to the perpetration of fresh outrages. That, however, be has not forgot ten or forgiven their behavior has been fre quently and openly shown since be has be come a power in the land by bis extreme and publicly shown dislike for everything Eng iish, Berlin Cor.

A great many inquiries are made as to how to prevent pantaloons from bagging at tho knees. There is only ono answer tcTthese-, ib can't bo douo. Your trousers will bag, and you can't help it. The bagging can. bo less ened by frequent pressings and taking good care of them, but aa long as men bend their knee? in walking their pants will bag. Tho skin would also, if it didn't settle back. A great many men pull their pants up on their knee3 when seated to pi event their bulging. This is very foolish. The smaller,! part of the, trousers is that around thu calve;! of tho legs, and. of course, in pulling them v.? ?ii;l bend ing tho leg a greater strain is brought to bear on the cloth.
