of taxes linn not been correct. Through this
Incorrectness tho private bankers of Mow
York have tatted to pay $1,000,000 which
they ought to have paid, and which they will

Gait. McGrath, the County Agent, has
furnished his report for tbo lineal year. It
shows that during that tlmo 7,000 applica
tions for roliuf woro made to him. Of those,
8.73 J were disapproved by the visitors, MB
were not at |iomo when called on, and two
were not found at their alleged residences.
Tho number of families who received aid
was, therefore, 2,8113. Tho expenses of tho
County Agent’s ofllco for the year amounted
to $77,807.
Attornby-Obn rral MacVraoii, In his
message to Minister Lowell last night, said
that If the President gained nothing yester
day lie probably lost nothing. Ho took n
goodly share of nourishment, and his sleep
was natural and refreshing. Tho lung
trouble old not Increase, nnd there was noth
ing to Indicate that the condition of the blood
would lead to any new complications. Tho
increase in the patient’s pulse, temperature,
nnd respiration last evening was so slight as
to cause little uneasiness.
Tun Pope Is said to have been very much
pleased on being officially notUlcd of Em
peror William’s intention to accredit a Min
ister to tne Vatican. The appointment will
be made as soon ns Hie Prussian Diet votes
tho sum necessary for the maintenance of
tho Minister. It Is now believed that nego

Curia will be resumed, and that the relations
between the Pape nnd tbo Emperor, or rattier
between tho Pope and Bismarck, will be
come quite friendly and cordial.
Tun experts appointed to Investigate tho

United States In behalf of lire sullerers by
tho forest tires. The appeal sets forth that
about ‘JW persons perished in tho Haines,
that many others wore seriously burned,
and that 15,000 people wore rendered home

Tun twelfth minimi meeting of the North
western Association of Underwriters com
menced In this city yesterday under tho
Presidency of Mr. Jasper M. Dresser, of Da
fayoitc, Iml. Tim attendance of members
was unusually large. Tho President’s ad-,
dress dealt largely and rather exhaustively
with the question ot legislative hostility to
Insurance companies. Mr. Dresser recom
mended that thu association bo Incorporated
under the laws of the State of Illinois, and
Hint Chicago lie made Us permanent head

jects connected with underwriting were read
and discussed.
Tub second annual convention of Illinois
liquor dealers and manufacturers was lield
at BkibmUigton yesterday, and adopted reso-
Jutions denouncing Hiunptnnry legislation,
declaring that any candidate for legislative
honors, of whatever party, who cannot be
relied on to vote In favor of personal liberty,
should bo opposed py tho liquor-dealers of
the district where he seeks election, and urg-
IngetTorls to Induce the wholesale dealers and

rived In Bristol harbor yesterday, con
signed' to a firm of English manufact
urers of manure. The bones are sup
posed to bo those of tho defenders of
Plevna, and were shipped at Constantinople.
Tho venerblo Peter Cooper, who says that
human bones make tho finest kind of
manure, assorts that It Is a common thing for
tho British to buy human bones, and that
many cargoes of such have been used
in lands, lie added that
ho often heard that England was manured
with bones taken from the battlefield of
Waterloo. Tho fact Unit In tho cargo at
Bristol llioro were whole limbs, and that
hair still ohmg to parts of skulls, will not
tend to lesson tho horror of tho discovery or
tho brutal nature of the people engaged In
tho horrible traffic,
Tub "Methodist Ecumenical Conference,
now lu-sesslon at London, the Times of that
city says, compares very favorably with
other religions conferences. There seems to
be a common resolution to do us much good
as possible, consequently thero have been no
squnbbleH ami no exhibitions of selfishness.
The conference discussed tho education
question yesterday, and declared In favor of
higher education, and held (hat it was tho
duty of tl|Q Methodist Church to maintain
schools which are Christian In theircharaeter
and Influence, At tho meeting hold Tuesday
evening at Exeter Hall in connection with
tho conference some of Die speakers referred
to tho Increasing friendliness between the

Tiik Executive Committee of the Irish
Land Longue will submit, for adoption by the
Jouid-Leaguo Convention, which assembles
ut Dublin today, a resolution holding "the
detestable system of alien rulo” in Ireland
responsible for the political and social Ills of
that country, and declaring that the Irish
people will never be prosperous or contented
mull they enjoy Uie right of self-govern
ment. A second resolution will deelaro the
Coercion act to have Its Inspiration In
“malignant hypocrisy," and that It has
been executed “fur the gratification of
private vindictiveness.” A third will de
clare the Land act to he radically in
sufficient, and that it cannot be accepted

settlement of the question. The committee
will ask the convention to adhere to the
principles of the Land League until Its alms
are fully accomplished. The committee bus
also determined to establish a Labor League
organization, whose program will embrace
an extension of the franchise to the laborers,
the return of labor representatives to Par

Hono Hhanoii, N.»!., Sept. 14.—Attorney
(Icneral MacVongb says that the President’s
condition Is the same os It was yesterday.
He is slightly belter, but be is not convales
cent, or anything like It, and bo docs not un
derstand what some of tho doctors mean by
talking ns they do about his convalescence
and freedom Irom blood-poison. “The truth
ls. salil tho Altoruey-Ueneral, “ the Presi
dent is undoubtedly sniveling from chronic
pyicniln, and nothing milder can be made of
lt. The Attorney-Hcneral evidently did
not think it right that the public .should be
again led to think Unit tho President was out
of danger.
Dll. DOVNTON
says the President was possibly a little bettor
tills morning. More than that ho would not
say. Col. Rockwell, who watched with tho
President tiie latter part of Um night, had
ids usual rosy view to give. One of Um at
tendants says that the last tlniotho pulse was
given at 104 It was In fact 110. Dr. Bliss says
that, if tho President continues to improve,
the Tallapoosa will bo ordered around here,
and that probably about October 15
tho Presdeut will be taken on u
sen voyage. Col. Rockwell says that,
possibly, he may be taken to tho
Southern coast. Dr. Bliss says that the fact
that tho President

is one of the hopeful indications. Me says:
“Tiie President has continually complained,'
since he was sipit, of being so weary, so tired.
He would say: 4 Have 1 slept any since I
was shot? It seems to mu ns though I have
not. Ido not remember sleeping. When
did I sleep’.” Now lie expresses himself us
somewhat refreshed by his imps, and begins
to realize that lie dues gel some refreshing
sleep.”
i)it. burs,
speaking of tho cutaneous emotions on tho
back, says: ‘'Don’t make any mistake about
those small pus-cavities on his back. These
bolls nro only skin eruptions, and do not
come from tho deep lymphatics.”
” What do they arise from V”
“ From the eltects of the old blood-poison
ing. Nothing more. This ocean air Is
rapidly purging all tho Impurities from hU
system.” An Insider said that, while the
President had not lost any ground, Ids gain
was very slight, lie was still weak, very
weak, lie had to bo coaxed to tuko Ida
nourishment, and his general condition was
NOT HO FA 111 AH IT WAS A MONTH AGO,
and It would require fully a month of con
stant gain for him to stand where ho stood
before his reiapso. The onu Idea of the sur
geons was to maku the bulletins os favorable
as possible, to cheer up the members of tho
faintly, and It was tho idm of tho latter to
apply that Influence In tho sick chamber, so
that tho patient would feel the effects. The
President lakes tho greatest Interest in tho
bulletins, ami asks to have them read to him
before they are given out to bulioctograplied.
Lately he has manifested a desire to sue the
newspapers, and to have. tho principal topics
of the day read to him. Tho loss of Ids
newspapers ho has felt very much.
VKUV DAIIIC.
Wkkt End, Long Buancij, N. J., Sept 14
—0 p. m.—lt is very dark tonight at Elberon
Cottage. Nothing can be scon but tho loam
of tho breakers on the Jieaeli, or heard, ex
cept the low surging of the sea. It Is quite
ns difficult to see through tho darkness
which Kummnds the President’s case. There
has been a very considerable rise of- pulse,
temperature, and respiration, yet wo are told
that, notwithstanding this, the President Is
ns welt ns he usually Is. But he has not
usually been very well, and tho fubrllu vise
naturally causes some uneasiness.
TUB UIHTOJIY OF TUB CASE
shews that when there has been such a rise,
it has been followed by more alarming symp
toms. A pulse of lid ut night Is a high
pulse. That figure has only been indicated
at the evening dressing when too President
hits been In a serious condition. It hits
never reached a higher point In the evening
except during those periods of the llrst,
fourth, seventh, ninth, and tenth weeks
when his condition was extremely critical.
Thu respiration, too, Is high, Indicating, ac
cording to the definition which Ur. Bliss
gave this morning, great debility. Jlu
said that, In Ids Judgment, twenty
was normal In a case of great debility,
Judged bvthat standpoint, the President Is
weaker tonight, lie also has considerable
more fever, and Increased difficulty lu
breathing.
THAT IS WHAT TIIK OPPICIAI. FIGUUKB SKKM
TO JNIIICATK
tonight. Ur. Bliss -says very little about It,
except to say: “Oh, Uls n mere lluetuation.
The President's condition Is excellent,
Everything Is hi first-class shape." That is
all the •Utislnl explanation that Is given of Urn
President's condition. But there aro numer
ous rumors to explain this febrile rise, As
Ur. Boynton was sitting on tho
piazza of the Elberon this afternoon a
messenger came to him rapidly from tho
President's cottage with a note, which said:
“ We want somu
mcmtoMATi: op hishuth
as soon as possible." And soon after Ur.
Hamilton himself came from the cottage and
inquired, with evident earnestness, whether
the medicine indicated hud been obtained,
Upon be mg informed that it had not, he said:
“it must bo got Immediately." Now, bis
muth lias boon sent fur in great haste before.
More than once, when the President's
stomach has shown signs of weakness or of

approaching nausea, a messenger has
hastened from tho While House
to a drug store foe bismuth'
U umy not bo Hint the President Is expo*
iieiielng trouble today witli Ids stomach, but
the bismuth was certainly not wanted for the
wound, or for any complication except it
originated in Uin stomach. Whether that
Incident Is enough to warrant tho inference
that tho stomach is troublesome must be do*
tormlncd by uveuts. Certainly there is somo
cause for tho febrile rise.
THH COUOIf.
too, Is no better. j)r Boynton said today:
“ lie has a powerful cough, and ho Is cough-
ing all the time. It Is not from ids throat, It
is deep down In his lungs, and he coughs
alt the time. He raises a great quantity of
pus.” But Dr. Boynton, who insists that
there is n metastatic abscess in tho lungs,
also said that it seemed to bo healing; that
tho uiniculty appeared to bo ‘bridged.
••But,” lie added, " we donot know any day
what may happen the next. We do not
kiimv, If this abscess In tho lungs heals,
when or where tho next one will form, or
witen another pus cavity may be discovered.”
Dr. Boynton maintains that the President is
suffering from
CHItONIO PY.EMIA,
and Hint his condition Is, nnd will continue
to be, critical until that poison Is 'eliminated
from tho blood. One of the reports this
evening Is that another pus abscess lias been
discovered. The fobrltc rise would ho an In
dication that audit was Die fact, but It Is not
possible at present to statu that such Is tho
fact. The surgeons, for that matter, Imvu
not yet. In their olliclul bulletins, had any
thing to say about the lungs, although Dr.
Bliss said to-day that there had been serious
trouble with them formorotlum three weeks,
and that tho lung trouble culminated last
Sunday, nnd was, they think, thou con-
quered. Yet, so far as tho official bulletins
ga»
tub rum.ic ark still in iqnohanck
of the very grave complications which it Is
acknowledged Ims existed fur at tense three
weeks. “Indeed,” mild Dr. Bliss today,
“the Hold of dullness In tho region of the
lower lobe of the right lung has existed over
since the President was shot, and it undoubt
edly was duo to the diaphragm. It was not
In the lungs themselves.” The live bollson
the back which were discovered and
punctured yesterday were, he said,
only simply acne, which had no
relation to blood-poison, and which
were so inslgnlllcant that, but for the
publication of the fact of their existence, lie
should not have thought them worth men
tioning to Dr. Agnew. There have been
minors, too, that
A TUOUin.KHOMK BWKI.I.INO OF TIIR FKKT
hud appeared, but Die report is doubted. Al
together, to this hour, notwithstanding the
febrile rise, It is necessary to be contented
with tho statement that the President is as
well ns usual,’which Is not tn bo interpreted
ns meaning that lie Is any better. Helms
made no gain today.
DU. UOYNTON
said tonight that the President's case, in Ids
opinion, was not materially changed from
what it was yesterday, but lie has not made
any gain whatever. Hi speaking of tho febrile
rise, lie said that there had not been any re
markuble rise of pulse, temperature, or res
piration. Thu rise which has for sometime)
not made its appearance until iaterin tho
evening appeared tonight earlier, and tho re
sult was noted in the bulletins. So fur as tho
pulse is concerned, Dr. Boynton said that
there had not been a day for three weeks
when the pulse had not gone ns high
as hit), and that tho respiration, ot course,
would bo high so tong as tho lung trouble
continued. Dr, Bovnton added that suppur
ation from tho lung continued, and has, in
fact, existed ever since Uio President carno
from Washington. Tho fact that all the
subcutaneous abscesses.bad been healed, and
that the bed-sores had left him, Dr. Boynton
thought, might be considered possibly ns
a Hi.mirr indication of (iai.v.
and In; lias also made some gain stneo leav
ing Washington, for lie could not have lived
much lunger there. “Ills, however,” said Dr.
Boynton, “altogether too soon to say what
benefit ho has derived, If any, from tho
change. It required two days fur him to re
cover from tho Journey and for tho next two
days he was much better. On Friday night,
however, he had a relapse, and since thou ho
has not been restored to his former condi
tion. Hu has not gained any general
strength whatever. Although ho has been
twice lifted In his shoot in bed and placed
upon tno reclining chair, this
was not sitting ui* in tub hugiitkst.
It dtu not require from Idm one-fourth of tho
strength that It Is necessary for him to expend
every time that his wound is dressed.” Dr.
Boynton, speaking of the lungs tonight,
said he thougut that there was a slight Im
provement. This was especially Indicated In
a trilling improvement in tho character of
the pus discharge, But that was still some
what mattery, and could not bo' called
healthy. Dr. Boynton said that ho possibly
slept a little butter than In Washington, but
ho had always slept enough, lie continues,
however, to carry Ids dreams Into his wak
ing hours. Dr. Boynton does not think that
there Is at present any Indications of new
complications,
IT HAS lIKKN DIRCOVBUKD
after great difficulty that it is tho probable
purpose of the surgeons to tap the lungs,
and to remove tho pus that has gathered
there by means of an asphyxlator. That un
doubtedly Is the reason of tho un
expected return of Dr. Aguow, who
was not expected HU Saturday. A
special instrument to bo used In some man
ner In connection with tho President’s case
has been made In Now York. A surgeon
who kuywa of this expected operation says
that It will not bo much moro severe than
tho original Incision in tho parotid gland. If
tho operation Is made, it, of course, will
confirm tho reports that there Ims been an
abscess of tho lungs.
MIDNIGHT,
Altorney-CUmoral MaeYoagh, nftor writing

said, “Gid only knows." It is learned,

of Bliss, agree that the President

tonight a lung, hollow Instrument specially
made to bo used In tapping the lungs. It is
