General Sheridan hns had several rclnpsos
during the week which brought him to
, denth'a door , yet ho hns been able to rally
mid tils physicians have at Intervals put
forth oncourni'lng bulletins , notwithstanding
the unfavorable reports. To-day , after tlio
collate of Inst night , General Sheridan's
onditlon Is In no wise Improved. The ebb
nnd flow of his dlscnso U what has been cus-
tqmary In all such cnses , nnd those outside
, of his Immediate family circle have no real
' liopc of his recovery. The wonder hns been
t , tlmt ho has been ublo to last so long. Stories
come from the Sheridan house that the gen-
, , erul was nblo to exhibit an interest In-tho
proceedings at St. Louis ; that ho Inquired
, AVIO had bcctt nominated nnd whether the
( Mills bill had been endorsed. This Is n
nomplo of the talk which is put out to do-
cclvo. A mnn who has been lighting against
the terrible attacks that General Shorldnn
lins been suffering from cares very little
about the Mills bill , ns Indeed do many
of those who are in perfect health. Doctors
ot great reputation , but who ate not con
nected with the cnso , sny that everything is
being done for General Sheridan by his phy
sicians that Is known to medical service , and
that It Is a very encouraging feature of the
case , professionally speaking to bo nblo to
record the fact thai thcro has been no qunr-
* ruling or outside criticism among the pro-
, lessionnl attendants. The general has not
been able to gain any during the past seven
dnys , ench rolnpso leaving him in n worse
condition after his apparent recovery from
, , 'it , than before.

i Ycstcrdny Mayor Hewitt was asked very
jbluntly by n prominent democrat In Now
fYorlc If ho would support the democratic
national ticket. If.o said that he know Mr.
Cleveland was mourning to bo re-nomlnntcd
nnd six months ngn ho know that Allen G.
{ Thurrnan would bo Mr. Cleveland's running
mate. "I will not say , " ho continued ,
li whether I will support the ticket or notbut it
floes seem a llttlo strange that Mr. Cleve
land should select Mr. Thurmnn at this
time as the vlco presidential candidate In
iiio face of the fact that ho refused to
honor Mr. Thurman with any position of
trust afto'r his election to the presidency.-
* Some weeks after the election of 1534 I wns
' summoned to Albany by Mr. Cleveland. Ho
told mo ho wns thinking over various names
v
> nvhicti had been presented to him for cabinet
. places , and ho asked mo if I hnd any name
MtO suggest. I said : 'Mr. President , the man
Whom you should place at the head of your
cabinet is Allen G. Thunnan. ' Cleveland's
reply was. 'Ho is too old.1 I said , 'No. ho is
c not too old. Tliurman Is good for twenty
years , nnd besides bis mental faculties nro
, unimpaired. ' Cleveland then said 'But his
liabitfl are bad. ' My response to the extraordinary -
ordinary statement wns'Mr. President , if
you think that why don't ' you send some
body to Columbus to Hnd out what Mr.
tTliurnmn's personal habits nro. ' And to my
i urpriso ho replied , 'I will do so , ' nnd he
f actually sent n detective to find out If Allen
U..triiurninii over took n drink of whisky or

Dcing pressed , however , ns to whether ho
lyould support Mr. Cleveland , Mayor Hewitt
Declined positively to define his position.

Ono Of the most interesting dobntei had
fluring the consideration of the tariff bill
under the Ilvo minute rule took place in tlio
liojso this afternoon. It was the proposition'
to place flax seed on the free list. There is at
present a duty on flax seed of 20 cents a
pusliQl , and to prevent the foreign artlclo to
( Come into the United States free is a propo-
pltion which vitally effects every citizen and
tanner in" Nebraska , Iowa , Dakota , and , in
fact the entire northwest. Nearly all of the
nicmbera from the northwestern states took
part in the debate , the Iowa and Kansas
' cicn , and two or thrcoof the Minnesota mem
bers being exceedingly earnest in their talks.
( Delegate Clifford of Dakotn said that should
ilax need bo put on the frco list it would cost
' the farmers of his territory at least $1,000,000
tovory year , and that it would ruin the pro-
( tluct. Ho said that ho had presented
1 thousands of petitions from his constituents
Bgainst the proposition nnd that they hnd
fceen referred to the committee on ways nnd
ptid mentis , but were not examined by the
pom mitt co.
i .Mr. Strublo of Sioux City road the riot act
.to uuck demugogues us Weaver of Iowa nnd
.Anderson of thu snnio state. The hitter two
ynombors , of course , were in favor of free
flnx seed. Mr. Strublo said that if the dem
ocrats thought the farmers only took an in-
tercst in the manufactured articles affected
Iiy the Mills tariff bill they were badly mis
taken and they would wake up to their error
.tit . the polls In November. He said this was
tha most serious thing to thu farmers over
JiroposL-d iu congress , Mr. Llnd of Minno-
eotn , also u republican , mndo a most eloquent
appeal to the bouse to vote down the provls-
Jioii. Ho said that thcro is n duty of " 5 cunts
a gallon levied by thu present law on flux
'Beod oil. ICvury bushel of Rcod mnicos live and
pno-half gallons of oil. Thcro is a duty of UO
cents n bushel on the flnxsocd , nnd it is easy
lo bo seen , therefore , that the duty Is dlapro-
toortlonuto. The present law does an injus
tice to the farmers in fayor of the munufuc-
hirers , Last year not a gallon of linseed oil
\vns imported , while over live hundred thou-
jlund bushels of llnxscocl were imported. Tlio
Duly defense the democrats could make to
> the proposition to abolish the duty on llnxscod
\va.s that there nro other countries which
prow better llaxoccd than this country and
that flax growing In the United States Is be
coming uniwpulnr. They did not deny the
assertion that if ilaxseed is placed on the
'roe list it will drlvo mix raising out of the
Jutted States. There was great applause on
.ho democratic side when Bland ot Missouri ,
me of the leading free trailers , declared that
S ho had the powtir ho would abolish tlio
lutlca on every article manufactured in the
United Slates nnd everything grown on the
! urm. The democrats , being in the majority ,
iad tboir way , ami although every repubh-
D.ln voted against the proposition , frco llax-
fcvod wns adopted iu the bill.

Moro Mon"y For the CourtB.
WAsiitNOTON , Juno 0. The noting attorney
ijcncrnl to-day sent to the house revised es
timates aggrcgntlng $1OTODUO , for certain ex
penses of the United States courts for the
flscnl year 18S9. In explanation of this re
vision the acting attorney general says the
department , In estimating the expenses of
the United States courts for 1839 , followed
the custom formerly In practice without
uolng nwnro that the estimate which hnd
been mndo for tno fiscal year 1883 would
lirovo to bo far below the actual necessities.
Ho says the lucrenscd expenses lor the pres
ent fiscal year grow out of an Increased ac
tivity in the prosecntion of timber trespass
ers , of increased business from the Indian
territory , nnd of the execution of Inws
igalnst polygamy and Its kindred crimes.
Ho says it is beliovcd that during the com
ing fiscal year there will bo n recurrence of
nhn liar causes , creating similar ex ) > cnscs ,
that are not within the control of the attor
ney general , for this reason tbo acting at
torney general asks that the revised esti
mates be considered.
Condition oT drops.
WASHINGTON , Juno fl. The following is
the crop rcj-ort issued by the department
of agriculture :
Thcro wns some reduction In seeding the
winter wheat area in some states , though
Lho average breadth of nil wns but slightly
reduced. In the cast and south there was
no material loss from freezing , but in sov-
jral western states it was considerable.
The apparent reduction of the breadth of
winter wheat , ns compared with that of last
year , Is about ono and three-fourths millions
acres. The percentage of reduction for the
entire winter wheat region is placed nt 7.U
per cent. It is 18 In Illinois , 14 In Ohio , 10 in
Michigan and 9 In Indiana. This is in com
parison with the reduced area harvested
last year. There has been an increase
of thu area of sjirlng wheat in Dakotn
and in the territories further west , but
n decrease In Iowa , Wisconsin and Minnesota ,
making the average for the spring wheat
region of ono per cent. The area of spring
wheat is apparently slightly below * thirty
six million acres. There is a slight local
change of the condition of winter wheat ;
some improvement in Now York aud
Pennsylvania , and a marked decline in
Missouri , minor changes of states elsewhere
making the average 7II.S against 73.1 in May.
The loss by the overllow .of the Mississippi
in Illinois offset ! ! in part the improvement in
the other counties in Ohio. Indiana ,
Michigan and Kansas the average condition
is nearly the same as in Mny.
The average of barley is nearly the same
ns last year. Now York and Wisconsin nro
credited with nn increase of 1 per cent ,
Minnesota with 13 , Dakota with 10. Iowa ,
Missouri and California report a small ro-
luction. The condition of barly averages
) S.O.
The area of rye is practically the same as
last year. Condition U3.9.

Comstock , United States army , president of
the Mississippi river commission , was exam
ined by the senate committee on Mississippi
river improvements to-day upon the Lake
Borgucutlet bill , to which measure hois op-
> osed. Ho favored the continuance of thu
lovcu system if the prohibition regarding the

moved , but ho believes the commission had
no right to build levees with the provision
remaining.

For Widows ,
WASHINGTON , Juno 9. The president has
approved the action of congress in providing
that pensions heretofore or hereafter granted
to widows of soldiers of the war of the rebel
lion shall commence nt the data of the death
of their husbands. This legislation favorably
affects the claims of widows of the late war ,
which have been filed In the pension ofllco on
or after July 1 , IbSO , nnd which have been
allowed to commcncn from the date of filing
claims , but will not favorably affect thu
cases of such widows as were
filed before July 1 , 18SO. The commissioner
of pensions gives notion that in the statement
under this law of claims already allowed ,
no formal application will bo required , and
that the services of nn attorney will nut bo
necessary. Widows entitled under said law
need only write a letter piving name , post-
office address and cortlfluato number and the
claims will be allowed with ns little delay us
practicable.

Finnnclnl AfTalrs.
CHICAGO , Juuo 9. [ Special Telegram to
THE BEE.J Local financial affairs remain In
about the snme condition ns noted ono week
ngo. Money Is In good dcmnnd from nil
sources nnd bankers nro well sunglled with
lonunblo funds. Borrowers nro readily ac
commodated , when able to present good collaterals -
laterals , nt reasonable rates of Interest. The
rather free movement of grnln to the largo
shipping centers has slightly increased the
novcmcnt of money to the interior , though
.argoly . through the commission houses. The
speculative trade In grain and provisions has
slightly increased the demand for money ,
lUt there is no particular pressure from that
quarter , confined to banking Institutions ,
which have the bulk ot speculative accounts.
Lumber dealers were moderate borrowers ,
jut presented chiolly short dnto paper.
Wholesale more-hunts borrowed only moder
ate amounts , and were readily favored with
all accommodations requested. Hates of in
terest were steady and unchanged at fifS5J
[ > 2r cent on call , nnd B > < @ 7 per cent outline
loans. In eastern markets money continues
plenty , and borrowers are accommodated
upon presenting good names. Interest rates
ranged at 1K0-K per cent on call and 3 (20 (
per cent on prime mercantile paper.
Advices from foreign financial centers In
dicated n further accumulation of funds In
governmental banks and loaning rates were
moro favorable to buyers. The bank of 13n-
glund has reduced Its discount rate to ! i-j per
iont , and the demand for money appears to
bo small even at reduced rates.
Now York exchange was in moderate sup
ply during the pastwookaud the demand was
only fair. The market was not quito so
strong and prices were moro favorable to
sellers. Sales were made at40 ( < ilMc ) premium
| ) er ? 1,000 , nnd closed quiet nt 4Dc. Foreign
exchange was In fair demand throughout the
wcokt md thu offerings were liglit. The
market ruled steady nnd firm. Shippers' 00
documentary billi on London changed hands
nt $1.854.Sr K and the market closed
steady at $4.84rwM.S5.
The New York stoiik market was moder
ately active. An unsettled and weak feeling
tirevailed during the greater portion of the
timorjand prices averaged lower for
lending properties. The trading , as for some
time past , was confined to specialties. The
earnings of the railroads , while showing
some improvement art' not , very satisfactory
to operators on the long side of the market.
Apparently thcro is a belief that the crops in
some sections of thd xvost viU fall below the
returns of last year , nnd that freight compli
cations between leading Hues will result in n
decrease in the earnings during the slimmer
months. The low rate of freight by the
water routes also hasksomd effect , inasmuch
us considerable propSrtoajs now being di
verted from the r.iilrouds. Wall street oper
ators were the principle traders mainly in
3t. Paul and Heading and outside specula
tions were not ( lispowixi-to lo much nnd for
warded very few orders , either to purchase
or soil. The aggregate slilca on the New
York stock cxchnngu for the week were
747,000 shares.
Quite a good speculative business was
transacted in produce circles during the
week , .though the feeling- was considerably
unsettled and prices rhlcd with more limn
the usual inegularity within a moderate
range. The influences brought to bear on
the course of the markets were mainly local
and a coed shuroof the business was credited
to the ' 'room trading" element.
Koports reg.irding growing crops are some
what conflicting , though in the aggregate
show little change. The weather as n rule
hns been more favorable for crops , and the
outlook is favorable for fair yields , especially
for spring sown. Advices from abroad have
not been very encouraging to sellers nnd do
mestic markets did not develop any particu
lar strength. The supplies of grain show u
decrease of wheat and barley , while stocks
of corn , oats and rye have been somewhat
enlarged in points mimed in the ' 'visible. "
Evidently supplies of all kinds of
grain in first hands have been materially re
duced. Tlio receipts of grain at all tlio prin
cipal western markets have been liberal and
arrivals at the seaboard show some improve
ment. The shipments of grain from all
western markets were quite liberal. The
export of breadstuffs wore slightly increased
and included some grain accepted on June
contracts. Advices from abroad nro not par
ticularly favorable to growing crops though
the general complaint is backwardness ,
owing to cold spring weather. Provisions in
a general way were stronger and prices av-
cr.igcd higher , duo mainly to n decreased
supply of hogs. The receipts of live stock
ut the principal western markets have boon
moderate. The packing of the west is pro
gressing favorably and the aggregate re
turns show n slight decrease compared with
those of a year ago.

GLENWOOD , la. , Juno V. [ Special Tolo-
grnm toTiir. Br.r. . ] On the fourth trial of
Jasper N. Clouscr elm rged with the murder
of William Dornn , the Jury last night at the
olosoofnn eight dny's contest found a ver
dict of acquittal within flvo minutes of the
time they rca clicd the Jury room.
It nlways has been believed hero that the
prosecution was a conspiracy , nnd this time
the fact was proved beyond all reasonable
doubt. Joseph McCrnry was convicted of
this crime In March 1871) ) , nnd sentenced for
life. About two years and a half after his
incarceration ho began to claim that Clouscr
was nn accomplice In the crime nnd in fact
did the shooting. It was the result of n
scheme for Clouser's ' conviction. McCrnry
was counselled and assisted by outside
parties who lnul n grudge against
Clouscr nnd who , It appears , promised Mc
Crnry In writing that If Clousor could bo
convicted they would use their Influence to
get McCrary a pardon. These parlies lied to
ShcrilT Fnrdnoll about the facts in the caso.
and leading him to believe In the guilt of
Clouser secured his powerful assistance In
the prosecution. In pursuance of the ar
rangement thus formed Clouser was ar
rested on Juuo 111 , 188. ! , and from that day
until this , Saturday , Juno 9 , 1SS3 , ho 1ms
never huit n moment's liberty. The llrst
trial was had before Judge Hood in October ,
1SS3 , nnd the verdict set aside as not sus
tained by the evidence. The new trial was
had before Judge Loofbourow and Clouser
was sentenced for life. These two trials ex
hausted nil tno resources Clouscrs1 people
hud. but Stone &Gillaid itud E. Starbuck ,
having abiding confidence in the Innocence
of Clouser , carried the enso to the supreme
court , where It was reversed. At the Oc
tober term , IbSO , of our district
court. Stone & Gllluid gratuitously tried
the case , but the conspirators were ngatti
successful. The case was again taken to the
supreme court and again reversed. The de
fense was made this time solely on the theory
that tup prosecution was a conspiracy and
that this theory was correct , thcro was ovor-
llowing proof. Stone & Glllald again de
fended , and it is gcner.ulv conceded that the
arguments of these gentlemen , although en
tirely gratuitous , are among the ablest they
have over made. Thcro was unanimous re
joicing when the verdict bccauio known.
This conspiracy has deprived Clouser , under
thu brand of an assassin , of ilvo years of his
young manhood , and has cost Mills county
about $12,000. It is now strongly hinted that
there will bo some law practice in which
some of the conspirators will bo defendants.

ST. PAUL , Minn. , Juno 9. [ Special Telegram -
gram to TUB BKE. ] Delegate O. D. O'Brlon
to-day tolls how his resolution relative to the
extradition treaty failed to como before the
democratic convention , The text of the reso
lution prepared by Mr. O'Urlen Is as follows !
' A Just consideration of the interest ! ) of our
foreign born citizens requires that the extra-
dltion treaty now pending In the senate be
tween the United States nnd Great Britain
bo carefully revised so that no person shall
bo surrendered thereunder except for crimes
named in said treaty , and that its provisions
shall tu 110 wise apply to agrarian or political
offenses. "
Mr. O'Brien , who was greatly interested
In the matter , says : "At n meeting of the
full committee Wednesday evening , the reso
lution was brought up by Mr. Stronger and
It was cmlrscd nnd approved , but when they
cntno to look for the resolution , Mr. Walter-
son , who was chairman ol the subcommittee
tee , claimed that ho had lost or mislaid It.
The next day Governor Abbott changed the
form of the resolution and it was signed by
Leon Abbott , John Dymond , A.E. Bcarcrand
William H. Sims. It was loft with Sims to
bo signed nnd Incorporated with the other
resolutions. When the convention met and
before it was called to order , Sims brought
the resolutions to the Minnesota delegation
with a pencil endorsement signed by Henry
Wattcrson and A. I' . Gorman , saying 'not to
bo passed. ' It was shown to mo by Sims ,
and the endorsement was torn off. I then
announced that I would present the resolu
tion , and when the report of the committee
was adopted I rose to olTer It , but was cut.
I was told by a dolegnto who stood bosldo
the chairman that Senator Gorman told him
that I was not to bo recognized. Chairman
Collins followed Gorman's Instructions and
aid so under the express order of Wattorson
and the Maryland senator. The Abbot reso
lution was submitted to P. A. Collins and
approved by him. It was presented to the

Gorman and approved by each , and 1 believe
that Watturson purposely suppressed it. I

The liouso then went Into committee of the
whole on the tariff bill , the pending paragraph -
graph boiug that relating to llnx ,
Mr. Brawn of Indiana nrgucd In fnvor of
maintaining the existing duty on flax.
Messrs. Glfford of Dakotn niulBuchnnnu of
Now Jersey nnd Mills defended the bill nnd
deprecated the efforts made by the ether sido'
to distort every attempt nt revision lute
abuse of the poor.
Mr. Llnd of Minnesota , n republican who
heretofore supported the bill , made n strong [
plon for the protection of the lln- .
seed oil industry , which would' '
bo , be said , injuriously affected Dy |
the removal of the ox-lstlng duty on llnnood. I
.Mr. Mills said the ilnx industry In Ken
tucky hnd almost disappeared because it wns
not prolltablo , or rather because ether crops
were moro prolltablo , and whont would drlvo
flax out of Indiana as it had outof Kentucky.
His earnest sympathies wore with Uowa-
troddcn Ireland.
Mr. Funstono ot Kansas called outh"Uudor
free trade England. "
Mr. Mills replied that It was under the
merciless caipot baggers of England nnd of
the great centralized powers of England Ho
would bo unwilling to help even Ireland nt
tlio expense of his fellow countrymen , but in
that case ho could help Ireland , and nt the
same time help his own iwoplo. When wo
took the product of Ireland's labor wo helped
her Just iu proportion as wo helped our
selves.
Mr. Husscll of Massachusetts assorted not
n pound of Ilnx raised in Iowa , Indiana or
Kentucky could bo used In his district. Every
dollar's worth of raw material they used wns
In the improved article and every penny ol
duty paid upon flax was a tax upon their pro
duction. In the interest of production it wna
necessary that Ilnx nnd all the fibres of liar ;
should bo placed upon the free list.
Mr. Brown of Indiana in general terms
criticized tlio bill for placing the production
of the farmers of the west upon the free list ,
while it retained protection upon the manu
factured products of the cost.
The motion to strike out the clause of plac
ing flax seed on the frco list was defeated
0'2 to 74.
Mr. Kagncr of Maryland ridiculed the ref
erence in Uced's tariff speech to trusts , aud
that gentleman's declaration that outsida
of the patent ofllcc there wore no trusts it *
this country nnd novercould bo. Ho charged ;
the republican party with having been , fromi
the day of its existence , friendly to combina
tions nnd the capital that composed them. '
Ho defied the republican party to place In its
national platform as the democrats had done
a plank announcing its open antagonism to
combinations , which , ono by one , wore drain *
ing to llfo blood of the country. Not a man
on the other side would have the moral cour-
iigo to onpoi.0 trusts , who were sending republicans '
publicans to the house of representatives In ,
the interest of manufacturers against con-i
sumcrs and laboring men.
Mr. Heed of Maine said ho had heard such
orations us the gentleman's upon ether sulk
jects. That kind of oratory was cheap. Ho
had heard the gentlemen on the Other side in
un agonized condition of mind about the run
ning of conventions by federal officeholders ;
yet ho had soeu them supinely register tha !
edicts of their own ofllrohomern. Ho hi ( fc
heard gentlemen talk about the nutloantj
banks and the vampires of Wall Htreot that
were sucking thu blood of the nation , and ho
hud seen the democratic administration put
sixty millions of the people's money lute the
colters of the national banks. Of thcso fjen-i
tlemen , the gentleman from Iowa ( Weaver ) j
was the solitary suruivor of that wild
screaming that used to possess the demo
cratic sido. The trusts on the democratic
side were doing the same position iu moral
ity that fits wore in mcdiclno. The gentle
men on the other side proposed to destroy
trusts by destroying industries , and they ap
pealed to thu people and rent the atmosphere
with their outcries.
Mr. Wilson of Minnesota said that his
state produced ono quarter of all the flux
produced in the country. When ilazsood or
linseed was reached , ho would movotoatriko
the item from the frco list and believed that
ho would have the support of the domocrutlo
sido.
sido.Mr. . Cannon of Illinois declared that every
one of the existing trusts hud grown up
under the administration of Grover Clovo-
lund. He bad not heard any proposition
from tlio democrats to restrict the cotton seed
oil trust , the whisky trust , the sugar trust ,
tlio anthrncito coal trust and the transporta
tion trust. Tlio gentleman from Pennsylva
nia ( Scott ) , representing the administration ,
hnd hurried to St. Louis to got iu the plat
form a declaration against trusts. His biog
raphy in tlio Congressional Directory showed
that ho was the greatest railroad king iu the
land.
land.Mr. . Dockcry of Missouri taunted the ro-
public.ms with n failure to carry out their
platform pledges to revise the tariff , and said
that Mr. Bayno of Pennsylvania had
interpreted the party position when
he said : "Wo do not want
any tariff revision until nfter
HID election of " 83. " The party In the house
could bo brought into alignment only on a
policy of non-action and lacked tlio couruga
that had characterized it early days.
