OFFICIAL BULLETIN.
Executive Mansion, July 19, 11:30 p.
m. The President's afternoon fever
was a little more strongly marked to
night than last night, the pulse showing
an increase of 4 beats, temperature rise
of five-tenths, and respiration light. He
expressed a desire to have his beard and
hair trimmed and his head rubbed, and
at his request a barber was summoned
who spent some time rubbing him, and
although the immediate effects were
over fatigue and increased fever in a
slight degree, however, aside from the
transient rise in pulse and temperature,
the President's symptoms continue fa
vorable. THE PROCESS OF SUPPURATION.
In reply to a question in regard to the
wound, Dr. Bliss said: "Process of sup
puration is going on satisfactorily and
the track of the ball is slowly being
cleared by discharge. Our experience
with a drainage tube to-night confirms
our previously expressed judgment that
the ball did enter the abdominal cavity
and pierced the liver. I believe it
passed through that organ and is lodged
in the interior wall of the abdomen.
"WHAT HE HEARD.
New York, July 19. -A Tribune's
Washington special says: A Southern
politician of some prominence informed
the Postmaster-General that on the loth
day of May he in company with anoth
er gentleman was visiting the State De-
Sartment, where he met in the eorri
ors a man who he knows was Guiteau,
accompanied by a tall, slender man.
Guiteau was overheard to say to his
companion in a very angry tone, "They
have put me out of the White House,
and I will show them whether I can
get even with them." The next day,
according to Guiteau' s confession, he
purchased a pistol.
A NURSE INTERVIEWED.
New York, July 19. A Herald's
Washington correspondent interviewed
the President's nurse, who said the
President remarked a few days after
the shooting that if it was not for the
pain in his ieet he would not know what
ailed him. He told the physicians: "I
will stand all the pain, out you must
stand all the worry: I cannot stand
both." Since then he has stuck to the
agreement.

Most, the imprisoned Socialist were
present, ihey represent about 7,000
persons it is alleged, mostly workmen.
Red Hags were displayed.
Mrs. Lecompte, an American lady

cue preparatory to nominating their
candidates for the ensuing election next
month. Whisky flowed as freely as
milk and honey in the promised land.
Two full blood Indians, Bill Lovett and
Deer Track, became fighting drunk and
made an onslaught on some of the
party. Seven men were killed and
mortally wounded. Jun Saterwail and

them.
The Ntock Depression.
New York, July 19. The Post in a
financial article intimates that the pres
ent depression in stocks was the result
of manipulation by large owners of
trunk .lines. The point of interest is,
when shall it suit Vanderbilt to use his
influence to stop trunk line wars. There
is nothing in the general condition of
trade industries or the crops of the
country which bodes disaster, or which
is discouraging, and the speculative
situation in Wall street is more depen
dent on Vanderbilt than on anything
else.

report that grasshoppers have made
their appearance out on the Dakota
prairies, and that the wheat is threat
ened. No very reliable information, or
confirmation of the rumor, has yet

the great pest has made its appearance.
