WASIIINOTON..D. C. . May 25. I
General Sheridan was very low this
morning , nnd thcro need bo no surprise
If his death is announced at any tlmo within
the next few days , or oven hours. The
physicians , of whom thcro are flvo In attend
ance , have Issued a very guarded bulletin , in
which they admit that his attack on Monday ,
when ho fell on the sidewalk , was due
to heart failure , nnd that a recurrence
this morning places him In a very precarious
condition. The bulletin was issued against
the wishes of the family , who do not appreci
ate themselves how near to death the general
lies , but the physicians insisted that the pub
lic should bo warned and prepared against an
approaching calamity , and to prevent any ac-
dcnt the bulletin say8"A physician has been
constantly in attendance , " which means
that another attack may happen at
any time , and it Is llablo to bo fatal.
The general is resting in an easy chair ,
end sleeping most ot the time. There has
bcon n physician nt his side constantly since
Monday afternoon , Drs. Rcilly , Yarrow ,
Mathews , Bryno nnd others relieving each
other .at Intervals. What is described us
"heart failure , " is the refusal of that organ
to perform its functions , and digitalis , n
drug which Is made from the roots of the
Illy of the valley , has to bo administered to
stimulate Its action. It was on Monday
1 morning when the general started from his
house to the war department that
the first attack , came , and ho
was compelled to sit down on the
pavement. Ho was carried to his room nnd
has not left it since. Tuesday , Wednesday
and Thursday ho seemed to bo picking up
bravely nnd the doctors were able , by the
use of digitalis when symptoms of fainting
appeared , to ward it off. Hut about half
past 8 o'clock this morning ho had an attack
which was worse than the first ono nnd for n
tlmo it scorned doubtful whether the doctors
would bo nblo to keep the spark of Ufa alive.
They did succeed , however , in restoring con
sciousness , but it was a very narrow escape.
The doctors say they have hopes still , but U
is not very strong.
General Sheridan's condition to-night indi
cates that death may occur nt any time. He
may live for some tlmo nnd Indeed may re ]
cover , but his life tonight is in the balance
and there Is but a shadow of n chance for
him. This morning a telegram was sent to
his mother at Somerset , O. , and to other
members of the family , summoning them to
the general's bedside. His will was hastily
prepared and presented to him , with the
statement that there were very few chances
of his recovery. The priest calls upon him
twice a day. This evening there was a con
sultation between six physicians who have
examined him , and they expressed very little
hope. The valves of his heart huvo failed to
his -beats and the circulation
Close with pulsobeats ,
tion of his blood has instantly ceased at
times. It is untrue that ho has apoplexy ami
that ho IB liable to die from a stroke of paral
ysis. The general reclines day and night
In an easy chair. Colonel Mlko Slieri
dan , his brother , is constantly by hi
side , and Is assisted by Colonc !
Kellosg or Colonel Blunt , the general's aides.
The reason assigned for a refusal of the
family to make publicly known his condition
is that the general Is very much adverse to
having his sickness discussed in the press.
Five of the physicians attending him are ol
the regular army corps of surgeons. Dr ,
O'Rcllly , the president's physician , has
charge of the caso. Surgeon General Moore
calls twice a day and Drs. Harrow , Mnthows
and Byrne net as nurses. This afternoon
there was a rally of the general's strength ,
and his barber was sent for to shave him ,
As ho was leaving the general told him tc
como back again to-morrow and Sunday nl
the sumo hour , adding : "I will sco you at
the club on Monday. " "I hope so , " replied
the barber , but the doctors present looked
meaningly nt each other. The general sleeps
considerably nnd occasionally gets up ami
walks about a llttlo , "To get the wrinkles on
h s lo..a " as ho puts It. Ho will not confess
that hfi is seriously ill. II the general should
pull through ho will never physically bo u
strong man again ,

It is only a question of time , republican
senators say , when they will succeed in theii
light for open sessions for the consideration
Of the llsherics treaty. Senator Halo has
wheeled Into Hue , withdrawn his oppositlor
vote which ho cast with the democrat'
against the proposition on Tuesday , and the
republicans now have n clean majority. The
democrats are very earnest in their struggle
to defeat open sessions , knowing as they ilt
that open sessions mean n complete unmask
ing of their hypocrisy of the present lulmln
istration and the ridiculous weakness ol
Secretary Haynrd's diplomacy. Open so *
slons would have been voted If all the repub
licans had been present. The democrat !
demanded a quorum , The secret sessions
yesterday and to-day wcro marked by vorj
warm debates , The democrats are simplj
flllbu8fcring against what seems to bo an In
evitable result. Senators Vest and Morgui
became considerably excited , talking ngains
ttrfio and filibustered against a voto. Thuj
declared that It would bo a great spectacle tc
consider the fisheries treaty in open tension
, Where- the British minister nnd rej >
rcscntutlvcs of jealous countries couli
lit in the galleries nnd note oui
diplomatic oboctlons ] to intornatlotm
propositions. They denounced also what thoj
termed "a schema to twist the liritlsh lion't
tall and wave the bloody shirt.11 They do
clarcd the only objoot the republicans had ii
discussing the fisheries question in publli
was to make a bid for the Irish vote , and tc
incidentally bring uptho southern oluctioi
outrages. The republicans are very niucl
pleased that they have forced the democrat !
to inuku u party me.ihuro out of it , and sa'
they will not only win , but they will make 1
uxecedlngly interesting when the debati
opens.

some time In charge of the- Pacific express
business at this place , was found dead In ti
room nt the New York house nt about 9:81 :
o'clock this morning. A paper containing
morphine was found near ills bed and othci
evidence is conclusive of his hiving
taken morphlno with suicidal Intent.
Ho wus usually a quiet man nnd well thought
of , but of late ho has for some unknown
cause Indulged in the use of liquor , and while
in no way a defaulter has been negligent o !
his business. Ho registered at the hotel nl
about 11:80 last evening ami went to hU
room whcro ho was found dead In bed as
above stated. The deceased was about thirtj
years old and had friends living In Chilli
cothe , Mo. , who Imvo sent for his remains ,
Coroner Abbott held nn inquest and the
verdict returned was that the deceased hat !
died from nn over-doso of morphine , taker
while ill nnd laboring under an attack ol
temporary despondency. The verdict was In
accordance with thu facts , though great dlfll-
culty Is experienced In accounting for the
despondency alleged. Soma attribute it tc
real estate dubts in Omahn upon which he
found it diftlcult to make his payments ,
others to i ) hopeless nnd unjustifiable attach
mcnt which it is claimed Sallo had formed
for a married woman of this city In whose
company it is known ho passed many hours ,
The same people el'iim that the husband nl
length objected to Sallo's attentions nnd
threatened to shoot him. At nil events
Sallo has stopped several nights
In the hotels In the ccntci
of the city and on one of these occasions slept
until 4 o'clock the next day. Ho had evi
dently been to the ofllco of the express com
pany late Wednesday evening because his
assistant , C. E. Main , yesterday morning
found the ofUeo key and the safe cornbina
tion on the counter. This circumstance is
looked upon as an evidence that Sallo had
premeditated suicide. It was shown nt the
inquest that ho had purchased morphlno
but twice in town nnd that nn
interval of three months had passed
between the purchases , which woulO
go to show that ho'was not nn habitual mor
phine cater. Yesterday E. W , Bennett , ol
the Pacific ofllce in Omaha , came hero and
took temporary charge ot tlio ofllco and to
day the assistant , C. E. Main , was appointed

PHILADELPHIA , May 23. A meeting of the
woman's committee of homo missions was
held this morning. Delegates were in at
tendance from many states and territories.
Rose Cleveland , the president's sister , was
on the floor and made a brief address on the
value of homo mlsionary work. The first
thing the Presbyterian assembly did this
morning was to vote to meet next
year in Now York. The report of the Ju
dicial committee was presented and
recommendations were approved un
til the appeal was reached of Judge
Drake against the synod of Baltimore In the
case of Rev. Little , in which the synod had
refused to condemn the responsive rending
of the scriptures In public worship. The Ju
dicial committee recommended that the ap
peal bo not sustained. On motion the case
was referred back to the committee with in
structions to report upon the orderly char
acter of the appeal. This will
bring the matter of responsive
readings before the general assembly. The
appeal of the Rov. Dr. West , of the First
Presbyterian church of St. Paul , Minn. ,
against the synod of Minnesota In severing
his relations with his congregation was under
way , when it was cut shotby a call for the
regular order of tbo day , which was the re
port of the standing committee on foreign
missions. The report recommended the con
tribution of * 1,000,000 for the cause of foreign
missions during the present year and gave an
encouraging exhibit of the work already
done.
The committees' report nnd the ac
companying recommendations were adopted.
These recommendations included one
to send seven elders to attend the
organization of the presbytery at Rio de
Janeiro , Brazil , in August next. Recess
until 2:80 was then taken.
At the afternoon session Rev. Dr. J. T.
Smith of Baltimore read iho report of the
committee of conference with the southern
assembly on organic union. The question of
the relation of the colored people in the south
to the church is thus disposed of In the com
mittees report : "Wo nro of the opinion that
our assembly will agree to a basis of organic
union by which the present boundaries and
constituencies of the Presbyterian synods
in the south shall remain it statu quo , to be
changed only with the consent of the parties
interested ; nnd that all new
churches and now Presbyteries hcrcaftei
established , shall ho organized and received
into connection with the Presbyterians and
synods respectively as the interested parties
shall mutually agree. "
Rev. Edward Kempsnll. of Now Jersey ,
made a plea lor deliberation , and moved to
recommit the report to the committee with
instructions to report to the next general
assembly.
Rov. Howard Crosby , of New York , hoped
the assembly would act promptly and favor
ably upon the committee's report.
Rev. John R. Paxton , of Now York ,
favored Dr , Kempsall's resolution for recom
mitting , and H was during his remarks -
marks there ocoured ouo of the most
remarkable demonstrations yet scon upon
the floor of the general assembly. He
referred to the fraternal spirit that had been
engendered by the vis.it of the Southern as
sembly nnd their reunion in yesterday's cen
tennial celebration. "Silence at this time is
golden , " he said. "Thero stands the negro ;
may God curse the day when he came from
Africa's sunny strand. " Hero the assembly
and spectators broke into a perfect storm ol
hisses , which the moderator vainly strove to
suppress , breaking his gavel In the effort tc
do so. Dr. Paxton explained that ho loved
the colored man , and his remarks had been
misunderstood. What ho did mean was that
the negro had been stolen from his homo ,
robbed of his heritage and sold Into slavery.
Dr. McCosh thought the assembly might
still go further in preparing the way foi
union by the adoption of a resolution declar-
ingness for union on the ground of the stand
ard of the two churches pure nud simple.
Rov. Dr. W. A. Franklin ( colored ) , of
Tennessee , declared that the colored people
did notwantseparato presbyteries and synods
as the committees reported intimated.
Governor Beaver moved as a substitute to
refer the matter to a special candidate to re
port to the assembly at the earliest possible
moment , its report to take precedence over
any other order before the body. Adopted ,
nnd the moderator appointed. Justice Strong
and Drs. Crosby , Young and Hoyt and
Sanders.

byterian general assembly met at y o'clock

cupied by Rev. Dr. Stricklcr , of Georgia ,
with an argument against Dr. Woodrow , on
trial for teaching evolution. The argument
was devoted solely to proving that Adam
was the direct creation of the Almighty ,
from the dust ot the earth , and
not an evolution from the animal
kingdom. Ho said that the evolutionists
demaiided.that a conjecture of n scientist
should have more control than the work of
God. Dr. Woodrow occupied the evening
session with a closing argument in his own
defense. Ho reasserted his belief in evolu
tion and declared his teachings on the sub
Jcct hnd not only not led any of his pupils
astray , but had in fact kept many of them
out of infidelity.
