Secretary Foster's physical condition docs cot improve, and his friends are considerably worried at the rather stubborn nature of his illness. He has been sick ever since he returned to Washington, a day or two after the Cham ber of Commerce dinner in New York, which occurred on the 17th of November. The Secretary caught cold on the evening of that dinner, or the day before, and his ailment developed into something that has been described as the grip. He returned at once to "Washington, and hat since been confined to his house. In Xew York he was attended by Dr. Hamilton, ex-Surgeon General of the Marino Hospital Sen ice, now li ing in Chicago. Dr. Hamilton Constantly at ITand. Dr. Hamilton returned to "Washington with Mr. Foster, and has since been in con stant attendance upon him. To-day he called in another physician, and both are filled with anxiety at the fact that the Sec retary is not as well a asial. More than a week ago it nas thought that Secretary Foster would be at his desk with in a day or two, but as that was found inad visable, it was arranged that he should go to Fortress Monroe to recuperate. He has not been able to do so.howe ver. He is very weak, and is afflicted with a sort of remit tent fever that clings to him in spite of the efforts of the physicians to break it Dr. Hamilton said to-day that Mr. Fos ter's condition, while not eerioui, was less favorable than usual. The Acting Secretary's Report. The Secretary has been entirely unable to pive attention to the work of preparing his annual report, upon which he was about ready to begin when he went to New York to deliver his rpecch at the Chamber of Commerce dinner. The document, thcre forewhich will go to Congress along with the President's message, whenever the House shall have perfected an organization, has been put in shape by General Spauhl ing, the Assistant Secretary, and will be signed by him as acting Secretary tot the Treasury. Secretary Foster wrote the following lottcr' to Mrs. "William "Windom a few days ago: "It affords me sincere pleasure to vresent to you the first silver certificate bearing the likeness of your illustrious husband, the late "William Windom, Sec retary of the Treasury. Few of our public men who have been similarly honored have done more to deserve this particular mark of recognition from the Government, and,as his successor in office, I feel that it is fittine to testify in this manner my official acknowledgement of tlic obligations due to his'ctistinguished services." A. GOVEBHOBSHIP AT STAKE. Tiriefs Filed In the Case of Boyd-Thayer, of the State of Nebraska "Washington, Dec. 7. The Boyd-Thayer case, involving the question of title to the office of Governor of Nebraska, and of citi zenship on the part of Boyd, will come up for argument in the United States Supreme Court to-morrow. The question at issue is as to whether or not James E. Boyd was a citizen of the United States at the date of election. Briefs of counsel have been filed. .T. C. Cowin, attorney for Boyd. in his brief maintains that his client became a citizen by virtue of the admission of Nebraska as a State, he being an inhabitant of the Territory of Nebraska,and,a member of itB Constitutional Convention. He contends that the organic act of admission by providing that the State should be admitted "upon an equal footing with the original States in all re spects whatsoever," together with the authority conferred upon "the inhabitants" of Nebraska Territory to form a State Constitution, operated as a collective natur alization and admission to citizenship of all persons in the Territory capable of acquir ing United States citizenship under the general policy of the Government. The brief in behalf of Thayer was pre pared by John Y. Dillon, John L. "Webster and Joseph H. Blair. Broadly stated, they base their assertion of want of citizenship in Boyd on the ground that an alien cannot crow into citizenship bv belief or faith and Dy assuming to ait as a citizen. KEVEK HAS A DISAGREEMENT. Pleasant Parting or the President With Secretary of War Froctor. "Washington, Dec. 7. The President, .in accepting the resignation of Secretary Prcctor. says: "In severing our official re lations, it gives me great pleasure to re member that they have been unclouded by anythbg approaching disagreement or dis trust Youhae my full confidence, and your discharge of official duty my full ap probation. I am glad to know that your public service is not terminated, but only transierred to another and, I hope, higher field of usefulness." The President will probably send to the Senate to-morrow the nomination ot the .uccessor to Mr. Proctor as Secretary of "War. There is every reason to believe that the portfolio will go to Lewis A, Grant, of Minnesota, the present Assistant Secretary of the Department.

Senor Romero, the Mexican Minister, has recehed by mail ,a copy of the cablegram addressed to him by President Diaz, of Mexico, on the 21st tilt, in regard to the. Garza revolution on tho border, and he finds that an error-was committed iu the form in which it was pub lished, caused in the transmission or de ciphering of the cablegram, as the copy now received docs not contain an allusion to any want of proper zeal on the part of the officers of the United States Govern ment on the frontier, in the execution of the neutrality laws in that case. THE SENATE CAUCUSES. SHERM4-V APPOINTS A COMMITTEE OX ASSIGNMENTS. The rrobable Changes In Committees Not Very Many or Them to Be Made Peffer to lie dlven a Chance Blair Hard to Replace. "" "Washington, Dec. 7. Special "When the Senate adjourned to-day the Republican members immediately took seats in the reception room, ana proceeded in caucus to provide for the rearrangement of commit tees. Senator Sherman, the presiding officer of the caucus, was authorized to appoint a committee of nine to make the assignments and report at a subsequent caucus. He asked time to select the nine, and the meet ing adjourned. I-ater in the dav Senator Sherman an nounced the committee. It is as follows: Cullom, Chairman; Cameron, Plumb, Sawyer, Hale, Hawley, Teller, Michell and Carey. There is a great struggle going on both for committee places and for rooms. Aside from a few of the leading committees, the Senators are likely to choose their assign ments in accordance with the rooms, the ob ject being not to get a room in the Maltby House, but to stay in the Capitol. The Consideration of Help. Another thing to be considered is the help to bejiad. The leading committee! hae clerks and messengers who draw fair salaries all the vear, and act as private secretaries to the Senators. Tne smaller committees hae only session clerks, who aic al& secretaries to" the Senators, lor the mct of these committees are purely orna mental. E cry Senator has a secretary, so that a chairmanship is advantageous only because a room, which is a Senator's private ofiice, goes w ith the chairmanship. There will be no changes on Finance, the leading committee of the Senate, and but one on Appropriations, the second in im portance. For Tarw ell's place on the lat ter committee there are many candidates, but the first question to be settled is local ity The "West is already represented by Allison, the Chairman, and Plumb, while the Hist hjs Dawes and Hale. If the Mid dle States get the place it is likely to go to Sauator McMillan, of Michigan. Pefler to Get a Birth. The vacancy on Agriculture caused by the retirement of Blair is likely to go to Pefler. The hard-working Committee on Claims will have Mitchell for its chairman, and the acancv thus caused at the head of Hail- roads i ill be filled by Casev. Tiicre are no changes on Commerce. Sena-nt-r McMillan jumps three places to the head of the District of Columbia, Ingalls' old committee. The other vacancies will nrobablv be filled bv Plumb and Gallinger, the latter having been on the corresponding committee in the House Blair'a retirement leaves a very large vacancy at the head of Education and Labor, and there seems to be no well developed crank to fill the hole. The fact that the new west entrance to the Capitol is to rnn throueh Blair's old rooms is an added reason Iiy the place is likely to go begging. Only a Few Other Changes. Scnitor Stockhridge keeps the fisheries, but takes the cosy room of the railroads. This will be the programme unless the Michigan Senator should happen to go the Library Committee, for which he is work ing in common jth Dixon, Higginsand Wolcott, the latter having the best show. That archaic statesman, George Frisbie Hoar, will desert Privileges and Elections to occupy Mr. Edmunds' old place at the head of the Judiciary. Thir will bring Teller to the chairmanship of Privileges and Elections, and will give Piatt Patents, is he wants it. The fact that most of the territories have been made into States may lead the Connecticut Senator to prefer a change of committee. These are all the changes that are likely to occur on the majority side of the committees. UNCLE SAM'S "HIGHEST COUBT Decides a Case of Great Interest to Con ductors of Passenger Trains. "Washington, Dec 7. A case of con siderable interest to railroad trainmen who have to deal with unruly passengers was decided in the United States Supreme Court to-day. James S. H. Jopes, a passenger on the Xew Orleans and North eastern Bailway, became engaged in a qnar rel with the conductor ot the train, who shot and seriously injured him. Jopes sued the railroad company for damages. The testimony as to the circumstances of the shooting was conflicting. The rail way company asked that the jury be instructed that if from the manner and atti tude of the passenger, the conductor had reason to fear assault, and shot under the 'belief that he was in imminent danger of personal injury, the company was not re sponsible The court denied this request, and Jopes obtained judgment for $7,000. This court, iii an opinion by Justice Brewer, holds that the court below was in error in refusing to charge the jury,aB requested, re verses its decision and directs that the case be sent back to the Mississippi court which tried It. Attorney General "William Pinkney to day asked leave of the United States Su preme Court to file a bill in chancery in be half of the State of Maryland against the State of "West Virginia to settle a dispute over boundaries. Maryland claims that her -h estern boundaries is a meridian line run ning south to the first or most distant fount of the Potomac, and that Vest Virginia has wrongfully asserted title to a 'strip of land several miles wide between the south branch of the Potomac and the present generally recognized line.

When Israel Kwetek was called to the bar of the General Sessions, to-day, to stand trialrfor attempting to steal a pbeketbook from the pocket of Mrs. Bose Moonshine, November 'Si, his counsel answered for him, he being at liberty under 51,000 bail. He said: "When my client was arrested, as I shall claim, on a false charge, he was engaged to be married to a very nice young woman. This is his wedding day. and the wedding is for 2 o'clock. If I am forced to go on trial now the wedding must be.postponed." "How long an adjournment do you ask for'."' inquired Assistant District Attorney Macdonald. "Well, the usual length of the honey moon," answered Kwetek's counsel. "The eflect of this request, Your Honor," said Mr. Macdonald, smiling, "is that Your Honor is called upon judicially to determine the proper length of a honeymoon." "And that I certainly do not propose to do," rejoined Recorder Smyth. "This case may be adjourned until to-morrow morning. So, if he docs not wish to make sure ot spending the whole of his honey moon in prison, lie had better appear here to-niorrow,raorning." Children's furs.

Washington Creditors Make It Hard for Her to Leave the City. "Washington, Dec. 7. Special.' More trouble followed the Emma Juch opera troupe during its engagement in this city, which closed Saturday night. Early on Saturday an attachment against the com pany was issued, and a marshal proceeded to seize the scenery, trunks and other ad juncts. This attachment was issued at the instance of Philadelphia plaintiffs and amounted to $1,469. The service of this paper soon became generally known, and the result was that more creditors appeared. Some were extremely emphatic in their de. meanor, and two or three heated individuals threatened to lick everybody connected with the troupe, from the manager down. Although the business of the company had been far from good, Mr. Locke, its man ager, took the matter rather philosophically, assuring everyone that all would be paid in full. Manazer Locke's assurances were not realized.

JOHN L. KNOCKED OUT By Ashton, After Being Crippled by John Barleycorn. THE SLUGGER WAS VERY DRUNK, But in a Sober Moment Vowed That He Would Soon ' i TRY THE Bf-CIIhORIDE TREATMENT San Fbaxcisco, Dec 7. Special John L. Sullivan departed for Southern California this morning in a state of help less drunkenness. He came to the ferry boat in a hack and was lugged on board like a sack ot wheat. Sullivan bore evidence of having been in a fight, and it is stated that he and Ashton had one in San Salito yester day. One thing is certain, Ashton was not around to help Sullivan this morning, and John L. looked as if he had been badly used. Ashton and Sullivan got into an alterca sion over their cups. Ashton was, compara tively speaking, sober; John L. was drnnk. "Words led to blows, and the big fellow was knocked down. He arose and a rough and tumble fight ensued, in which Ashton got far the better of it. Friends rnshed in and separated the pair, and John L. was finally persuaded to go home. His cheek was marked and claret was drawn from his nose. Ashton remained, in Son Salito and enjoyed himself for the rest of the day. He and Sullivan have not met since, but when they do and John L. is sober there may be war. Sullivan was drunk nearly all last week, but managed to sober up every night for theatrical performances. He seems to have completely lost his grip since the failure to get on a match with Slavin. The Slugger Will Try lJl-Chlorlde. A Chicago special to The Dispatch says: John L. Sullivan, champion pugilist of America, will play his next important engagement at Dwight, Hi. This' time Dr. Lester C. Keeley will act as his manager. The great and only John L. will each morn ing bare his great arm and receive his daily injection of bi-chloride of gold. He will be under the same restrictions as other patients, and his disease for it has been proved that drunkenness is a disease it is expected will gracefully yield to the gentle influences exerted by Dr. Keeley's inspirit ing cure. Sullivan's trip to the antipodes was not a howling success financially The American champion did not draw "like a three-ring circus in the big Australian towns, and he returned to San Francisco sore in heart and poor in pocket. For CO days John has held in check his appetite for rum. When he landed on California's hospitable shores his troubles began. He was sued for debt and his show did not draw. Then he became careless, and the newspapers touched him np with no gentle hand. All of this brought on one of his bad spells. He drowned his rage at his ill success in the wine cup, and appeared on the stage in a state of intoxication. He Was After the Critical Gang. One night, while the forge scene was on, he picked up a heavy sledge hammer and commenced a tirade against the newspapers. Carried away by his excitement he staggered to the footlights, and in a voice that was in terrupted every now and then by a hiccough offered to "do up" any critic in the crowd. He also shook his fist at the "gods" and de nounced them in unmeasured terms. His conduct off the stage was even worse, and things finally came to such a pass that his backers, Charlie Johnson and Jimmie Wakeley, threatened to withdraw their support and disband the show. Sullivan had heard of the wonderful cures performed at Dwight. Turning to Duncan B. Harri son he said: "I say, Dune, this guy Keeley is putting some of- the boys on the right road. The Doo says drunkenness is a dis ease That hits me between the eyes bully, and 1 wouldn't mind giving his treatment a crack. "What do you think of the scheme, old man?" Harrison thought it was a good suggestion, and at once arranged matters with Johnson. The troupe will play its way across the Continent, close its season a few weeks in advance, and Sullivan will place himself under Keeley's treatment. After he leaves Dwight he will go into training for his meeting with Slavin. No Jury Tet to Try Demareit. NrACK, N. T., Dec 7. Special. The case of the people against Assemblyman Frank P.

Mendes Cohen, one of tha directors of the Pittsburg and Connellsville road, spent yesterday afternoon in company with General Koontz, noting the improvements in Pittsbnrg. Mr. Cohen formerly was superintendent of the road and lived in the city. He was surprised at the wonderful growth of the town, and was much pleased with the new buildings. "Pittsburg has s famous Court House," he said. "I think it is one of the finest buildings in the world. If you had no other structures here, the Temple of Justice would have a reputation abroad, I do not think much of the Gov ernment building. It is like the one in Baltimore. The sameness about Uncle Sam's buildings detract from them." On the other hand Architect Pattison claims the Conrt House tower is not in keeping with the balance of the building. He says the new postofSce must be studied and examined in detail to be appreciated. The work and design are yery artistic Plan for Enlarging the Sehlosser. C L. Carstairs, of Philadelphia, and T. B.

It is intended to pnt another story on the house and take in the building now occupied by Joseph Home & Co. No conclusion was reached yesterday. Mr. Carstairs went to Chicago last evening, but Mr. McCormick will re main over to-day to canvass the subject further. Both gentlemen were reticent about what would be done, but they de clared that the hotel would certainly be en larged and improved. Next Tear's Library Expense.
