Washington is last filling op with
members of Congress, preparatory
to tLe opening of the Session on De

of the House, is waxing hot amgng
the IV-nioeraiie aspirants. Sam Ran

for Speaker. Randall is a sallary
grabber, Kerr was not. We arc inter
ested in the choice of the "honest

cause Lis vote is not greater than

A bitter war of words is now
raginir between the "Rag-baby"
Democracr e.f Ohio and Pennsylva

New York. The inflationists of the
two "former States charge their bard
money brothers of New York with
the defeat of Allen and Pershing,
and threaten to take bitter venge
ance of Tildon in the National Con
vention cf next year. Meanwhile
the New York lPurM and other dem
ocratic journals of that State make
merrv over the slaughter of the
'rag-baby."
Home idea of tbe riirorousuess of
the Government prosecutions against
the Sl Louis whisky ring may be
gained from tbe fact tbat a review of
the situation up to date shows thirty
one ersons who have pleaded guilty.
.Some two million dollars have been
assessed, of which it is calculated
that fully four-fifibs will be realized.
This, it is thought, will cover tbe
larger part of the amount stolen by
the whisky rincr, tbieres from the
Government during tbe last ihr.ee
years. TLe rascals should now be
allowed to serve liberal terms in tbe
lenitentiary.

THE ELECTION
Passed off more ejuietly than any
one for twenty years. There was no
rioting, very little orunkenncss, very
little litrhtinff. and. I am bappv to
say, very little repeating or fraudu
lent votin?. There were cases of
fraud earlv in the morning, but a
rest followed so epjie-kly that the rc
iK'aters dare not go on with the work
tbey had laid out. Honesty bad a
fair show for one day, ana tue result
is Tail many is beaten out of its boots.
It is a glorious victory to elect tbe
complete auti-Tammany ticket, to re
duce the Democratic majority to
about 20,000, and to smash the most
formidable as we" as the most cor
rupt political organization in tbe
country atone blow is glory enough
for one day.
How was it done? Easily enough.
The people were roused from their
apathy by the pressure the Democra
cy put upon tbem, and tbey made

to give their nominees all the votes
possible. The rum-mills, tbe bullies,
the strikers found good true men in
their way, and tbey bad no chance
to put in practice their usual tactics.
In short, the decent men, tne tax-pay
ers found tbat tbey bad some inter

course, they carried the city, they
can do so any time tbey set themselves
about it.
It was a very gloomy night at
Tammany Hall, a funeral could not
be more dispiriting or depressing
Kelly, the Boss, made a doleful
speech and the mourners dispersed.
Gone were their visions of plunder,
gone were tbe bojiesof an immuni
ty Irom punishment for crime gone
were their hopes of rule, i" brief,
every thief and blackguard in New
York was in mourniug that night
It was quite different at Irving Hall,
the head-quarters of tbe Anti-Tam-
nianv party. A hue band pealed
forth joyous notes, the air was died
with fireworks, excellent speeches
were made and the excited, gratified
throng did not disperse till early in
the morning. New York, Brooklyn,

FAMMASr.
What is Tammany ? No name ap
pears more frequently in politics, but
very few know anvthing about the
origin of the organizatin or its meth
od of working. It is understood to
be an immense political power, but
what it is, and how it works, but few
know.
"Tammanv Societr, or the Colum
bian Order" was established in 1789
bv William Moonev, a noted politi
cian of tbat day. During tbe revo
lutionary war he had been a staunch
patriot, and after its close an active
politician and partisan. The order
took its name from Tamminy,
prominent Delaware chief, and its
government was modeled after that
of the Indians, a Great Father being
the chief, surrounded by twelve sach
ems as Lis counselors. Mooney was
tbe first Grand Sachem, At the be
ginning there was some pretext of
benevolence in the order, but tbat
was doubtless a sbam. Its rbjects
were always political and nothing
else, fair members met for many
years at taverns, and tne meetings
were, after the bnsinesa of the even
ing bad been dispatched, very jolly.
While Mooney was the originator
of the order, audits first chief, . a
greater man was from its beginning
for many years iu actual bead, though
he wisely kept out of eight. Aaron
Burr, the greatest and fouuiit of
American politicians, saw at once the
advantage of Having a disciplined
body behind bint, and be seized Tam
many and subordinated it to his pur
poses He was the leader of tbe
lo'ver clashes in tbe city and tbe
State, and be used Tammany to con
trol the better classes of which it was
then composed. Hamilton, iiis bit
ter enemv, was the bead of tbe So
ciety of the Cincinnati, which was

many was a fair ofet ia lis infiu.

tions. Burr used Tammany against the
Ciintocs, and it was Lis principal
weapon so lerg as he figured in poll-1
tics, bomctimes Clinton beat lam
many and sometimes Tammany beat
Clinton, but in either case the organ
ization preserved its vitality. It was
a power sometimes humbled but Lev

In 1 8-34 Fernando Wood became

the mayoralty of tho city. In 185C
Sweeny, Tweed, and their associates
threw Wood overboard, and they
ruled it. When the people rose in
their wrath and overthrew that dy
nasty John Kelly took tLe reins aud
has them now, though thu late elec
tion wall probably finish bim, aad
another will take his place.
The society has a regular form cf
initiation, the same as other secret
societies, and its members are bound
by pledges, though Gdelity is assured
more by the profit to be derived from
faithfulness than by any vows its
members take. It is most admira
bly organized. First, there is the
Grand Sachem, who appoiais-al! tbe
committees. The committees cail
all conventions of the Democratic
party of the city and county, and
they number hundreds. The Lead
has the power to appoint and remove
from tbe committees at pleasure, so
every man of them is in power. At
this point tbe real strength of the so
ciety begins. No man can be ap
pointed to any position except upon
tho indorsement ot these commit
tees. The great army of cfiii-e-hold-ers,
those wtio receive and disburse
the enormous 6uius required to gov
ern the city of New York, all bold J
theirplaces by the will of theos com-j
miltees, and these committees bold
their places at the w ill of one man,
the head. This svstem mokes the
O rand feacbem tbe dictator of the
city, for only occasionally can the
people be so roused tas to combine
against a force so well disciplined
and so admirably directed.
Then it has the moral support of
the parly in the .Slate and nation.
No Democratic politician w ho as
pires to preferment can afford to be
indifferent to a power that controls
so great a State as New York, for
Tammany not only makes municipal
and State officers, but it selects the
delegates to National Conventions.
It is, in short, the Democratic party
ot tbe Slate in tbe bands of one man.
His rule is not only acknowledged by
the leaders, but tbey do ail in their
power to strengthen it, because each
ouo has patronage to distribute ia
proportion to tbe votes he can con
trol. The offices are all divided
among the faithful, and, if there arc
not enough to go arotnd, it is easy
enough to make new ones.
How was it overthrown at the last
election? Why, Kelly, ibe present
bead, was not judicious in distribu
tion. John Morrissey wanted more
than Kelly thought be was entitled
to, and Morrissey rebelled. Kelly
removed him from the committee,
and he went out and appealed to the
people. Kelly had cut down the
wages of the laborers in tbe employ
of tbe city, and was consequently
unpopular with them. The Republi
cans were willing to do anything to
kill this one-man power, and so tbey
united with tbe Anti-Tammanv
Democrats, and carried the city.
This has been done before, aud
probably will be again, but it w ill
not kill organization. It is based
upon the cupidity of intelligent ras
cals, wbo bave under tbem tbe rabble
who want plunder, and the idiots
w he can be controlled. It is w inked
at and courted by prominent and res
pectable Democrats, because without
this power tbey can do nothing.
For iustaoce, Democrats in tbe inte
rior of the State of respectability
and the highest social standing, such
men as Seymour, Tilden, Hoffman,
and hundreds of others, bow tbe
knee to Tammany, and grasp tbe
dirty paws of the tbieves aud black
guards wbo make up its numerical
strongtb. The highest aud best men
in tne party are compelled to be en
rolled in its ranks, and to yield obe
dience to its behests.
Tweed, Connolly, Sweenv all went
by the board, and John Kelly has
followed tLeni. Bui another w ill rise
in bis stead, the disaffected w ill be
placated, the scattered regions will
be reorganized, and the compound of
shrewdness, rascality, dirt, tilth and
debaucnery known as lammany,
will doubtless again get :ts grip on
the Metropolis. It will certainly do
so unless the respectable people main
tain their organizations, and fight it as
tbey did Ibis fall.

tbe Evangelists bave nothing new to

composed very largely of proie6sed
Christians who do not need convert

not so far producing the results an

preach to Christians, except to en
thuse them and stir tbem up to re

The wind this morning was blowing

she had four, besides a life-raft. Per

er tlii morning report ber boats all
loose, except one, w hich was bang
ing to the ship's side, one end of the
boat having been caught in the rig
ping, preventing its being launched.
The mate of the ship Fusi-Yuma,
w hich w as laying about a quarter of
a mile from the Waco, reports seeing
a boat with persons in it pass bis
vessel at three o'clock this morning,
going westward. He could not say
that there were other boats. The
sea was ruuning very birh at the
time. The steam tu? Buckthorn was
dispatched otside this morning and
has been coasting in sight of land
all day. She is re ported outside yet.

to be on tbe lookout for them.
7 P. M. One of the pilot boats
which bas been outside all day, has
ju.-t returned aud brings no ti lings.
Parlies frtm down the island saw a
farmer from near San Luis Pass, wbo
reports having seen a small boat pass
down this morning, w hich, from bis
description, it is thought may have
been one of tbe boats from the Wa
co. It was some distance out in tee
gulf aod be could not distinguish
persons iu it, but be saw what appear
ed to be temporary sails. Tbe boat
was drifting rapidly westward.
30 P. M. The steam tug Buck
thorn has just arrived and briugsthe
following additional particulars: Her
officers stopped at the fleet, when
going cut, to ascertain from the differ
ent vessels lyin? near where the
Wao was burned all the information
possible relative to Ler passengers
and crew. Only one of tbem, the
steamer r "si-1 uma, could give any
information. Her officers report hav-
ing seen what appeared to be a raft
pass them. They made an effort to
launch one of their boats, but before
it could be done the raft wa3 lost
sight of in the storm aad darkness.
The officers of the Buckthorn report,
twelve miles west and five miles from
shore, passing the foremas. and fore
yards of tho Waco, with sails attach
ed, which had burned off just above
the deck, and they tbiuk this is what
was taken lor a raft by the Fusi-Yuma.
The Buckthori. went twenty
miles west aud could find no trace of
the mi-sing boats.
8 p. M. ibe steamer Clinton is
just in from Indianola, and brings
no news. The agent of the Mallory
Lino is arranging to-Light to despatch
another steamer at daylight, with
hopes of fiuding the Waco's boats
lower down the coast. The wind
changed to the northwest about two
o'clock, and it is thought if the boats
bad not made a landiog on the west
ern coast they have been carried out
many miles to sea. It is stated that
tbe life-boats ire all supplied with
water, but it is thought tbe officers
or passengers did noi secure any pro
visions for the boats. There is no
reliable inf rmation to be obtained as
to tbe origin of the fire. There were
heavy showers of rain early ia the
night, with lightning. Some think
the ship was struck by lightning, and
having a considerable quantity of oil
aboard, the flames could not "be ex
tinguished. The agents of the line
state tbat tbere w-f re forty-seven or
forty-eight persons on board the Wa
co, including passengers, officers and
crew. Crowds bave gathered at tbe
company's office throughout the day
to learn tbe latest new s. Tbere is
much dissatisfaction at the conduct
of tbe officers and men on board the
other vessels, which were all laying
in sight, and a number of which were
lving very near the burning steamer.
With tbe exception of the efforts
made by the Fusi-Yuma, there does
not appear to bave been anything
done toward saving those on the
Waco. Tbere excuse is the terible
aea, which would have swamped their
boats had they succeeded in launch
ing tbem.
10 r. M. ItFcemstbe Waco was
lying with ber bead to tbe gale' the
fire, which first appeared forward on
deck, bad caught in the large quanti
ty of oil aqd swept over the vessel,
burning everything before it. Fif
teen vessels were lying at 'anchor,
thirteen of w hich were to leeward of
the Waco. Tbe supposition is that
if jny of the passengers or crew had
appeared aft on the vessel's deck, or
any boats bad been launched, tbey
would have Leej seen by gome of the
other vessels, cone of which can
opfirm tbe rumors of seeing boats
pass through tbe fleet. Tbe impres
sion now is gaining -ound that not
a soul on board tbe tii-fatf d rpsjel is
alive.

Galvaestox, November 11, C:30
p. m The mate of ibe fibip Cale
donia, which waslyiag immediately
astern of tbe Waco, states that be
was on tbe !eck cf tLe Caledonia on
the lookout, w hen we heard an ex
pli'sion and felt a sboek. Looking
in tbe direction of tbe Waco, he saw
that she was enveloped in flames.
About balf an hour later, be beard
cries for assistance and saw five or
six persons in the water. A few
minutes later, be saw two persons
floating on a fender or a piece of
wood The mate made preparations
for sending all the assistance posr-5-ble,
by getting ont life lines aad
buoys. The sea was running so
high at tke time tbat it was impossi
ble to launch a boat. After beariug
tbe explosion he watched tbe steam
er closely, and states after the firot
few minutes the fire lo6l te fierce
character at first noticed.
The statements of tbe men on the
threo vessels nearest the burning
ship all agree as to seeing five or six
persons in the water, and also to
bearing frequent explosions on the
Waco, which were, no doubt, cases
of oil. All the oflicejs and experi
enced seamen are of the opinion that
it was impossible for a boat to be
safely launched oa the Waco on ac
count of the rapid spread of tbe fire
and tbe terrible sea that was running.
There is nothing later from the west.

Sax Francisco, November 9. A
dispatch from Port ; Tow nsend, this
evening, says thai Henry F. Jelly,
the supposed aolc survivor of the
Pac fic, brought here yesterday by
tbe ship Messenger, is in a wretched
condition, baviug been on a raft 36
hours before being picked up. He
says the PaciSc collided wiib some
other vessel, whose light be saw, but
in bis iuterview with Captain Gilkey,
of tbe Messenger, lastiug 12 hours,
be made no mention of the lights of
the vessel, and some think bim labor
ing under a hallucination as to that
Experienced navigators here think
more likely she struck a sunken rock.
Jelly makes a statement to the fol
lowiug effect:
"1 took cabin passage on the Pa
cific from Victoria, 'eaviug about a
quarter past 9 on tbe morninir of
Thursday, tLe 4th inst. About two
hundred people were on board tbe
steamer. Tbe crew were fighting
against a southeaster, aud were con
stantly pumping water into a boat to
tiimthe ship. The boats abaft tbe
paddle boxes bad no oars in tbem;
the others bad. Between 8 and 9 in
the evening, while in bed, I beard a
crash and felt shocked, as if we bad
struck a rock. I beard something
fall, as if rocks bad fallen. The star
board bow bell struck 10 stop, back
and g ahead. 1 went ou de-ek and
beard voices say n$ all right, we
bave struck a vessel. Saw several
lights at a distance; do not thiuk
ibey w ere colored, but paid little at
tention. Returning to the cabin, I
noticed that the ship took a heavy
list to port. I went ou deck to the
pilot bouse, and heard some one say
'she ia making water very fast.' Tbe
captain coming out of his room, I
asked bim if there were any blue
lights or guns. He said tbe blue
lights were iu tbe pilot house; got
ihem and burned live; noticed tbe
eugiaes still working, but no one at
the w heel. Went to the starboard
side, forward of tbe paddle box,
w here a number of men were trying
to get the long boat, but couH not.
Went to the port boat forward; help
ed five or six women into it; tried to
get the boat off, but could not move
it. Tbere were about twenty women
in it; heard tie boats abaft the pad
dles bad got off, but did not see them.
Think it was about an hour after the
steamer struck w hen she listed so
much. The port boat was in the
water. I was in that boat. Cut
loose from tbe davits. Tbe boat fill
ed and turned over. I got on ber
bottom and helped several op witb
me. Immediately after tbe steamer
seemed to break in two, fore and aft
of the smoke stack, fell and struck
our boat aod the steamer sunk.
Think about all the women were io
our boat and fear ihe-j Wire.aji
drow ned when the bot upset. ThU
was about ten in tbe eveniug. The
uighi was not dark, nor the sea very
rough, butafiesb breeze wa blow
ing. Afterward 1 left the bottom ol
tbe boat, and with another mau
climbed pu top of tbe pilot bouse
floating near. Ntxt morning I got
some life preservers that were float
ing near the house, and with their
ropes lasbed myself aud couipauiou
to the bouse. Saw three rails; the
first bad one man on it; the nexi bad
three men and w oman. ' J could not
niao e,ut the other for the distance,
except that llivrp w ere people ou it.
I think we were thirty cr krij miles
south of Cape Flaiury when the
; vessel i-uua. i a.-tta a ngnt on lat-
Iovu JsJs4 between four aad five iu
iiavingitue eveiiing. i iofl companion
washing over us. Soon after be
died I sighted a vessel, called and
beard the people on the rafts calling,
but tbey did not come near. Friday
night tbere was but little wind until
morning, when the wind and sea
rose. 1 was then within a mile of
the shore of Vancouver Island.
Sighted two vessels 'n the American
shore, w hich passed on. About tea
a. m. Saturday, the Messenger pick
ed me up".
H ex by F. Jelly.
There was great excitement in the
city on hearing the news. The tele
graph and newspaper offices and the
Merchants.' Exchange were beseiged
by people who bad frieuds and rela
tives on board the boat. The steam
er Los Angeles will be dispatched,
on he r arrival to-mcrroT, to save the
survivors if any. Jelly stated in
formally there was no terror or con
fusion on tbe part of the passengers,
and that if the boats could have been
launched and properly manned, all
would bave been saved.
A dispatch from Seattle says the
Rockwell and Ilurlbut troup consist
ed cf A. U. Rockwell and wife. XL.
D. Ilurlbut, J. D. Cowler, and W
Tuliy. It is not certain that they
took passage by the PaciCc. Ou the
day tbe vessel sailed Rockwell told
au" office of the steamer Salvador
that they were looking for the Pa
cific, but could not get ready and
would go by tbe Salvador.

Sax Francisco, November 11.-
j (Quartermaster of the Pacific, rescu-
eu oy lue reveuue cutter vjuver oi
cot, on the morning e;f the 7ih inst.,
to the following effect:
About 250 peoplejon board went lie
low at eight o'clock in the evening.
Everything was all right, and the
lights were in place, w hen a shock
occurred. I ran on deck and found
everything in confusion, and tbe pas
sengers crowded on the hurricane
deck. The ship fell off into the
trough of tbe sea, and I saw a large
vessel under sail, w hich they said
bad struck tbe streamer. I saw ber
green light distinctly. The passen
gers crowded into tbe boats against
the commands of the officers. I,
with the chief engineer, got the port
boat forward inte the water; got
fifteen women and six meu in, but
saw none of tbem afterward. I sup
ported myself by a floating skylight
about fifteen minutes, then got on a
portion of the hurricane deck with
some eight others. On looking for
the steamer I found she bad disap
peared, leaving a floating mass of
human being. TLe screams for help
were fearful but soon ceased, and we
vore alone on tbe raft. There were
the captain, second mate, second
cook and four passengers, including
a young lady. At one the next morn
ing it blew a gale from the southeast,
tbe sea making a clean breach over
the raft. We lashed ourselves, but
about four a. m. the sea washed over
board the captain, second mate, tbe
lady and another passenger. About
nine a. m. the second cook died. It
cleared up about four p. m., and 1
saw land fifteen miles distant, and a
piece of wreck withtwoor more peo
ple on it. About five p. m. another
died. On tbe morninir of the Cth
another died, leaving me alone.
About four p. m. a large empty box
ioated near me, and 1 got it on the
raft, for shelter. I slept sound at
night for several hours. On tbe
morning of the 7 th I saw land. On
both sides I was surrounded witb
floating kelp which made the water
smootbe. Tho water continued calm
all day aud that night at three a. iu.
I was rescued by tbe cutler.

eight of the crew in a boa,, got clear

Repcblicax State
Philadelphia
Republicans of 1'ennsylcania :
It was a grand response you made
in November to the greetings of our
brethren in Ohio. Nebraska, and
Iowa, sent in October. It gives you
occasion for sincere self-emulation;
it justifies your sbouts of triumph
echoing, cbeeringly, from the Dela
ware to Lake Lne.
Splendid as have been your record
and achievements in the past, you
may well poiut with pride to your
victory on Tuesday last a pride re
newed, emphasized, and re enforced
by tbe verdict of a great people. Yea
have easily placed yourselves at ti e
bead of tbe Republican column of
eighteen hundred and seveuty-six.
Iu all respects, this victory is sig
nificant and complete.
Your candidates were honest,
your principles were righteous. The
verdivt coucludes that discussion.
Geueral llartranft, illustrious with
his military service, had won added
fame by a pure and signally success
ful civie caieer.Your gratitude, your
patriotism, and your solicitude for
tbe welfare of the State compelled
his continuance in the position of
highest respoti8 bility.
With a knowledge, begotten of
proof, of the integrity of the State
lreasury management, and wiib the
actual demonstration that there was
not now and never, under Republi
can officers, bad been a defalcation to
tbe amount of one dollar of the pub
lic moneys, you bad tbe manhood
and the courage to vindicate, boldly.
your Treasury officers from the un
founded, false, and indecent cbartres
cfihe political tramps who pursued
them with malignant falsehood.
With the calmness and patience of
a patriotic and intelligent people, you
discussed tbe existing financial ques
tion, stripped of disguises, and de
termined to sustain tbe national faith
and common honesty in public affairs,
and set the seal of your condemna
tion and all the insidious attempts to
eumpass repudiation.
Against you wasarratel a motley
but mumerous host, discordant in
principles, united only in the pursuit
cf power and plunder. They clam
ored for change, but only offered de
lusive promises and fraudulent pre
tences of reform; they exaggerated
the pullic distress (neither tbe exis
tence nor remedy for w Licit is to be
found in governmental, but in social
causes); they stimulated uneasiness
in the public mind; they filled the
land with inflammatory addresses
and inflated proclamations; they
vexed your ear9 with screaming ora
tory aud witb turgid blataut declama
tion; tbey charged that "there was
somthiug wrong," but proved notb
ing. Madness and senilitv seemed to
rule the h mr. ' " '
In all tbis chaos you stood firm,
ao were you tripped in your judg
ment, or swayed from your integrity.
From the brawlers and hd eterno
gogues you extorted your'' triumph,
n"d have exalted the strength uf the
op!e in a' Republican Gov'ern'nienl.
l ne wolves of political topbistrv
ani financial heresy, bearing'menaee
and danger to national honor, and toj j jrnT N rPTinU DCTIIQUC
your most sacred educational and LA I LO I tLtb I lUil IlL I UuHOi
ligious institutions, were stayed aud j
broken by the firm walls of your own
Allegbenies; democratic wrecks aad
struaded drift-wood, now and then,
alone, marking tbe subsidence of tbii
tid of folly aud claptrap
It-juicing as you do, remember
thai your victory is the fruit of organ
ization, laborious and minute, and
without organization, your power is
goue aud your energies are useless.
Stand by your guns, maintain, your
ranks, take tbe touch of elbows, and
hold yourselves in readiness for the
final charge along the entire line,
which shall result in the crowning
triumph of your Centennial year, and
wtiicb shall start you in the secoud
century of national existence, under
tbe suspicious rule of the great histo
rical Republican party.

rived yesterday. For some days be
bas been suffering from acute pain in
the back, aud while in NeA-York, on
Monday, be had hut iro is applied,
but without beneficial effeCL Think
ing a warm bath aud vigorous rub
bing would give relief al 10 o'clock
ibis morning he repaired to the Capi
tol bath-r.ouis. Alicr the bath Mr.
Wtiaon wsiit to the Senate barber
slop, and w hile silting iu a chair
commenced, lo roll Lis head in a con
vulsive manner. The atiendauts im
mediately applied cold w aier lo a
bead aud rubbed bis limbs wiib
whisky aad salt. Dr. Baxter, of the
Army, w assumuioued al Mr. Wilson's
request. Upon bis arrival the Doc
tor fouud uoihiug in tbe symptoms to
indicate braiu lesion or paralysis.
From Mr. Wilsou be ascertained
that he bad beeo suffering from indi
gestion for the past ten days, aud
wa3 troubled with pain in tho shoul
ders. Proper remedies were applied
and relief soon followed. An opiate
was administered to produce sleep
but failed to have the desired effect.
About 2 o clock the symptoms were
less favorable; tbe extremities became
cold and there was an apparent weak
euiogof the vital force. Tbe patient
became very nervous, rolled bis bead,
and threw bis arms abuut convulsive
ly. A solution of morphiue was in
jected under the shoulder, with no
effect. The pains in the back re
mained and the extremities contin
ued cold. After having been well
rubbed, another subcutaneous injec
tion was administered, a bait dram
of whisky being used. This pro
duced recuperation, tbe.pulse became
strong aad regular, and in a short
time the patient was removed to his
room ia tbe north wing of the Capi
tol, w here a bed had been provided.
Tbis evening his condition is very
much improved, and bis pulse is
natural and strong. Dr. Baxter thinks
tbere is nothing in bis symptoms to
cause alarm, and tbat a night's rest
will go far to restore him. Mr.
Wilson retained full consciousness
throughout the attack, and to-night
is epiite strong 8nd cheerful. Dur
ing ibe afiernoon the members of tbe
Cabinet visitied the Capitol, but it
was deemed best to permit no one to
see Mr. Wilson, Postmaster Gen
eral Jewell will remain with him all
