The doc tors 'Announced, after a consulta tion this morning, that the condi tion of 'ei:eral Sherman is less favorable than yesterday. The grneral suffered considerable pain last night, and is constantly grow ing weaker. The worst feature of the case i.1 that he lies most of the time in a state of coma, and can only be loused when food is administered. The only nourishment he has tak en for several days is whisky and milk, and at times lie is delirious, especially during the last twen'y tour hours, lie doi-s not .'eein to suller n ueh pain and it is this weakness and gradual sinking thai we are afraid of. L.vrrit. The condition of Gen eral Sherman is still considered precarious, but the success with which he battled this afternoon was the foundation of new hopes for ultimate recovery, in the af ternoon be frequently rallied sui liciently to recognize members o( the family and st me old friends who were admitted to the sick chamber. Atl:l"i this (Tbur.sdsy) morn ing Mi.ss Sherman sent a telegram to the general's bother. Senator John Sherman, sayii g : '"Papa is much worse; you had better come at once."' :::10.. M.

DEATH DEALING PLOT A Scheme to B!ow Up a Chi cago Distillery. 15( LIVES .lEOl'ARDIZKD, Gin ral Sieiman Lying in a Comato 8iite and Gradually BlLkiag Cbargss Against the 8o'din. Chicago, Feb. 11. If the stories told by th agents of the national treasury department, now in the city, are true, one of the most dia bolical of dynamite plots, involv ing great 'oss of life and property, has been discoAered, and its consummation prevented just on the eve of patting it into effect. The Western Distillers' and Cattle Feeders' Association,better known as the whisky trust, is a corpora tion w ith a capital stock of $35, 000.000, anil controls the price of high w ines throughout the coun try, as it controls all of the distil leries with two or three excep tions. The most important distilleries outside of the combin ation is that of II. II. ShuU'eldt, of this city, and it was against this concern that the plot was arranged. The exposure of the conspiracy occurred this morning. G.J .Gibson, of Peoria, Ills. .arrived at t; o'clock, and on complaint of Solicitor-General Hart, of the treasury department, who came here from Washington for the pur pose, wa9 arrested. The cbarge laid -at Gibson's door is that he offered the government gauger, T. S, Dewar, who is on duty at Shuffeldt's distillery, a bribe to blow up the distillery with dyna mite. Solictor Hart tells the story of the plot. He says Gibson opened communication with Dewar some time ago, telling him at lirst that Ishuffeldt's concern w a in the way and that they were trving to get it out of the way. Finally he offered Dewar $25,000 to blow up the concern. GiDson told him he bad a dynamite machine that could be exploded bet wt en two large tanks, releasing ami setting on lire a sea of alcohol. He said there would be plenty of time for Dewar to get away, and lie was the only man who could place the machine, because of the Met that as a government em ploye he had access to all parts of the' building. Hart said it would have exploded, killing the man a Iio placed it, before he could pos sibly get away, thus destroying the only evidence against the tr ist eople. The success of the pljt meant unquestionably the death of 150 men working in the place. As I say, Dewar, under our instiuctions, went the length of the conspiracy, to the point of doing the diabolical deed, and w hen Gibson was arrested be was waiting ts hear of the explosion and destruction of all those lives and property. AH the evidence is secured to substantiate the Dewar story. The case is made. This afternoon Jibson was taken before United fr-tates Commissioner Herine and released on bail of $20,000. He declined to make any statement in regard to the matter. INDIAN CONFERENCE. Seriou Charges Blade Agadnut th I tlted State Ara7. Washington, Feb. 11. The In dian conference closed to-day and the Indians start home Friday. A feature of to-day's talk was the story of the right at Wounded Knee. Turning Hawk said at a given time w.;en the men bad de livered up their guns, they were separated from their families and taken to a certain spot. A crazy ' young man, of very bad influence, tired his gun, killing an officer. The other Indians began drawing knives although they were ex horted from ail sides to desist and tiring began immediately on the part of the soldiers. All the men who were in the bunch were killed and those who escaped the first lire gut in a ravine, and as they went along the ravine for a long distance, they were pursued on all sides by soldiers and shot down. The women had no fire arms to tight with. They were standing off at a different "place when the lire began, and those of the men who escaped the lirst volley went in one direction up in the ravine. American Horse said that when the firing commenced the people who were standing immediately around the young man who fired the lirst shot were killed, and then the soldiers turned on the women who were in lodges, stand ing there under the flag of truce. Women, as they were rleeing with babies on their backs, were killed together, and women heavy with chihl were also killed. Aftermost of the Indians had been killed the cry was made that all those not killed or wounded should come foith and they would be safe. Little boys who were not wounded came out of their places of refuse and as soon as they came in sight, a number of soldiers surrounded and bulcherpd them. Commis sioner Morgan said to an interpre ter: "1 w ish you would say to him that these are very serious charges to make against the army. I do not want any statements that are not absolutely true and I want any o oe here that feels that these statements are too strong to cor rect them," 4V r-
