WASHINGTON , Dec. 27. [ Special Tele
gram lo the HIK.Mrs. : | . Louan avvoko from
nnleep of boveial hour ; nt 7 o'clock this
in 01 n hit' veiy much Improved. It was with
gre it difficulty last night that she was put to
sleep. Soveinl powders vveio administered
to her , nnd at a late hour her moans nnd sobs
pave wav to n quiet rest. Later in the nl ht
filio avvoko nnd began to talk of the general ,
when the phjslclans gave her another pow
der and admonished hci that sleep and quiet
weio nbsolulely necessnrj to the presei vntion
ol her life. When Mrs. Logan opened her
e > es this morning she found at her bcdsldo
SrnatoTK Cidlom nnd Sherman. Taeyhavo
ehargo of the funeral anangemmils which
bnvo not begun ns jet , nnd they began to
talk to her , when hei KI let became soovcr-
powei Ing that they gave hci into the chaigo
of the pbvslclans and postponed action until
! ) o'clock this afteinoon.
1 have thought of .lohn In eveiv possible
pha o of lift ; , but novel In this giave , said
NTH. Logan. I always supposed he would
outlive me , nnd then she began to wander oil
on tlio financial condition of thu family , her
feni seeming to bo that she would lose her
propeity , which Is covered by amoitgagoof
Sl',000. ! Him said she was willing to disuose
of her homo In Chicago , oven thing in fact ,
It she could retain herpiesent lioiue hero and
live where lite ccncial had spent so much ot
his life. She was assured that hei tncnds
would take cnie of her and her Inteiests and
thnt she Aould never vvnnt , nnd then she lost
consciousness in sleep , another powdei luv-
Invbecn admlulsteicd.
It is hoped that when Mis. Logan awakes
from hei sleep this afteinoon she will bo able
to stand consultation relative to the tun-
ernl nnd othei matters. Othei membeisof
the family say thnt iho lemalns w ill undoubt

Lvaits and Teller , who voted wllh Ihe demo

prcfciicd to go witli thelt own paity had
thciu been nny evidenre to justify
such action. One of Lognn's most Intlmnlo
republican senatorial filends says of this :
" 1 believe ami alwajs shnll bellevo that
Logan would have leconsldered his vote In
that case had not the Ohio papers pitched
Into him so savagely. 1 had carefully read
ill iho testlmonj and when 1 leained how ho
hid voted In committee I was surprised. I
went to him In the ijenatn ehambci and after
n thoroimh talk on thosublect , remarked thnt
every Intelligent man in Ohio , ipgardless of
political sentiment in aniliatlon , believed
ihero was bilbery and that moiiuy was used
In llio election. 'Oh , jes , ' said Logan , 'hut
the tumble Is there Is no evidence of it. '
Then I icpllcdthattbeipwasovldencc , and In
quired ol Logan if ho luul read the testimony.
Ho ndmitted thnt ho had not , saving hu
judged the testimony bv the pie-sentatlon
niaiio ol it in the committee loom , men
tioned several stionc points In the testi
mony , nnd told him that I was not endeavor
ing to pcrsuado him against his judgment ,
but that 1 was satisfied the case would create
more of a stii than was then anticipated.
Alter impiossing upon tils mind features of
the testimony which i tegaidedas showing
proofs ot briberj' , 1 told him that 1 would bo
glad to hive him to lovlovr tnu case , to lend
tbo testimony himself. Jlo would have enro-
fully lead that testimony , and perhaps In
conseqeuco of that careful leading have
changed his view , but just th"ii the lepubll-

only exhausted all that was due him from the

where It was expected there vvoald bo n largo

Wltroek alter tlio robbciv and afleiwatd
divided the money and mailed the " , llm
Cummings' " letter's. The detectives have
turned up about S1T.OOO , and estimate that
fiom 3-10,000 to S45.000 is still unaccounted
lor. The story of the robbery is too well
known to need repetition. Tlio case was
immediately given to the Pinkerton agency ,
which sent opoiatives In all directions , and
the wagon loads tunning from 1'aclilc Junc
tion towaid the Missouririvei weie tiavciscd ,
but only meagre trace was found of any ono ,

Louis based on which the Pin-
kuitons claim to have compassed
the anest and fixed the cilmo on all the
paitlclpants in the robbery. In the meantime ,

Chicago and identlticd Weaver as one ot the
men who had Iicci ) a roomer at ttmlr house.
' 1 he detectives tlten decided that they would
not molest Weiver hut would await the re

the cast bottoms at it board mi : hnusu kept by

rent there that Cook had won alamo amount
of money in a lottery , but this Idea was veiy
soon exploded. It was discovered
that Cook bad made several trips away fiom

lowed by the appeaiame of ono ot "Jim

Imully became a bosom tilend of CookV ,
visited gambling 1001114 with Cook , and con
tinued to shadow him until his urre.st Ust
Saturdav. In thomeantlmu the shadow on

night Piukerton men found another
"shadow" whom they did not know , 'Ihoy
saw him enter No , 10 Lincoln street , tlio
residence of Witrock , nnd afterward a largo
man , who coriespouded to the dchcrlptlon of
Witrock , also entered the house. In the
meantime the biotlier-ln-lavv had gone to

Cleveland , whllo probably nol dangeioiisly
111 , Is not so well as It Is generally icpoited ,
It Is known that ho has been routined to his

icr willi Mis. b\i1som. The president 10-
nalno'l in his room all day , suiTeiing In
tensely , the pains being loeited piinclpally
in one knee , nnd Colonel nnd Mis. Lauiont
were substituted toi him at the home of Mrs.
Hovelaud'smotlici. Ills not geueially be-
Moved thai there is any dnnuus of u fatal tci-
mtnnlion ol the picsldeut'b indisposition , but
Inasmuch ns he sutlcis much the same dis
ease us did Senator Logan , he Is the subject
of a good deal of concern to day.
Them has been a gicat deal ot quiet talk all
day , and It Ispiogresslng to-nlcht concern
ing the condition of President Cleveland's
licnlth. A gentleman who spent some tlmo
at the white hoii < H ) this afternoon In con
sultation with Colonel Lamonl about im-
poitant public business , says : " 'Hie piusi-
dent asks every member of the house who
comes noai his bed In icgaid to the death of
Senatoi Logan and minces not only gfief
but the most Intense Inteiest. It is veiy evi
dent , " savs this gentleman , "that Mi. Cleve
land Is much concerned nbout the nature of
his 111 ness , and is draw Ing n comparison In
his own nil nil Dctwccn the stage : ; ol rheuma
tism in himselt and that which lesulted in
the death ol tlic somitoi. It is evident lohim
tioni the questions ho has been nskcd tint he
maj lake the same couise. I ob civo that all
tout of the local papers to day have tmifoun
statements as to the hoilth of the piesldont ,
nnd thu point Is made strong that the ihcn-
matlMii is confined to ono leg. I do not 10
gard the statements as frank nnd trust
worthy. A peison with .simply rheumatic
pains In onu limb docs not leclinecousfantly
In bed. lio&ides , 1 am inioimed that the
picsldcnl has a fever and has sutfeiud pains
throughout bis whole body. He has been
contiued lo bis bed dining the past month ,
more than was Scnntoi Logan , and the con
cern he feels In the death ol the senator ,
Darrlng the tact tint the two men wore
warm personal ti lends , to my mind is si-
nlncant. "
The piesidont admitted no vlsilois to his
room to-day , noi has he ( lining the past four
dn > s. lie lias all the symptoms which pos
sessed Senator Logan a week ago except the
violent lover and dcllilum. Natuially the
death ol henatoi Logan would bo a shock to
the president. Tlio loimer was a fieciuont
\lsltoi to the white house and was much ad
mired for bh blunt , honest manner by the
Inttei. The picsident fieuuenlly consulted
him about Jegifalatiou and maltcis alTeellng
the vvardepaitment especially nominations
in that Hue. Logan being chalimaiiot the
seiinto committee on militaiy affairs and well
versed In all mattcis affecting the seivice.
He talked ovei the I'llJohn Poitei case
with him , also ( Seneral Miles' camp-iiirn
against Ceioninio , In many rcspectsthe two
men boic a maiked lesemblanee1 , but there
is something , it Is believed by many to-night ,
ot iiinietlian friendly interest in Mi. Clove-
lind's anxiety and inquliy lespecth'g Sen
ator Logan'.s death , and his ronrein lias be
come Milllcientlv markeil and Known as lo bo

When U beeamo known this morning that

means gained ciiucnoy that icteieuce was
made to the illness of thu piesldent , and It
was believed that some indication ot his true

ns it was not in.ulo public the suspicion was
