President was moi-e restless last night.
but this morninir at 7 o'clock, while
preparations were making to dress his
wound, his temperature found to be nor

unfavorable turn.
Executive Mansion, 11:30 a.m. Dr.
Bovnton, has just come from the Presi
dent's chamber and attributes the sudden
rise in the President's pulse and tem
perature to some obstruction in the way
of a free discharge of pus from the
wound. Symptoms of granulation were
noticed along the track of . the ball yes
terday, and it is possible that this heal
ing process, going, on at some point
comparatively near to, the external sur
face of the body, has dammed up a
quantity of pus in the deeper parts of
the wound, and that the chill and in
creased fever are to be thus accounted
for. The discharge this morning, al
though perfectly normal and healthy in
its character, was unusually scanty,
which would seem to indicate that its
flow has been in some way impeded or
interrupted. The chill mentioned in
the official bulletin commenced about 8
o'clock, and lasted until 9, being quite
severe, the pulse running up atone time
to 130. At this hour the fever is said to
be gradually disappearing and the pa
tient's condition is considered better
than when the bulletin was issued.
THIS SOUNDS WORSE.
At seven this morning the President
shows the usual morning symptoms of
recovery, but about 8 o'clock he was
attacked with something like chills. He
shook all over and his muscles all be
came rigid with what the surgeons call
a rigor. This chilly shaking sensation
lasted till 9 o'clock, when fever set in
and rose rapidly. The pulse went up
to 130 and temperature above 101. In
an hour or two fever had declined some.
The doctors are not yet able to define
the cause of the change. The flow of
pus from the wound stopped this morn
ing and the surgeons say this may have
caused a change in the President s con
dition. A long drainage tube was sub
stituted, and the doctors pressed on the
stomach and bowels, but very little pus
came. out. Whether this means that
the wound is healing between where
the ball is and the mouth of the wound
or that an abcess is forming is not yet
known. , Doctor Bliss said that just
now he could not tell the cause of the
change., -The surgeons seem somewhat
uneasy. All four of the President's sur
geons are now making an examination
to sue if they can determine the cause
of the change in his condition. The
cabinet members were all sent for and
have come to the White House. There
is a great deal of uneasiness in the city
growing out of the fact that nothing
definite can be ascertained from the
surgeons.
STILL WORSE.
, At half-past twelve o'clock the sur
geons made a partial examination of
the President, but he seemed inclined to
rest and they did not want to disturb
him much. The result of this examin
ation, as given by the surgeons, is that
the condition is not any more favorable
tnan several Hours ago. in order not
to disturb the President no other exam
ination will be made till 7 o'clock this
evening. The doctors are very reticent
oniy saying that the change was prob
ably caused by the stoppage of the dis
charges from the wound. Thev will
not give any positive opinion, but say
incy nope xor ine best.
CONSULTING SURGEONS SENT FOR.
The attending surgeons in consulta
tion consideredthe President's condi
tion such that consulting surgeons
Hamilton, of New York, and Agnew, of
Philadelphia, had better be called for
at once. A telegram was sent at noon
asking them to come immediately.
LITTLE BETTER.'
Executive Mansion, 2:20 p. m. Sec
retaries James, Kirkwood and Hunt,
who have, this moment come from a
consultation with the attending sur
geons, request the statement to be
made upon their authority that the
Presidents pulse aad temperature are
falling, and that his general condition
is improving.
Dr. Bliss authorizes the denial of the
truth of reported interviews with him
to-day, in which he is said to have
stated that an abcess had formed and
that a second chill had occurred. He
has made no such statement.
Executive Mansion, 3:30 p. m. Dr.
Bliss reports that the condition of the
President has much improved since
noon. His pulse is now below 100, and
the general symptoms show an im
provement. There is not the slightest
indication of pycemia, which is the dan
ger most to be feared.
Secretary Blaine and Postmaster
General James say that the President
at this time is better than at any time
to-day. "This is the 21st day," said
Mr. Blaine, "and what is considered
the dangerous period in fever and gun
shot wounds. The President has never
been out of danger, and a change of
this kind was not improbable."
The stock operators are keeping the
wires busy with sensational reports.
They are unreliable. . 1
Executive Mansion, 4 p. m. There
has been no recurrence as yet of the
unfavorable symptoms which mani
fested themselves in the earlier part of
to-day. The President is now asleep,
and his pulse remains at about 100. It
is the opinion of the attending surgeons
that the chill and subsequent fever this
morning was caused by the formation
of a pus cavity at some point along the
track of the bullet, but this cannot be
positively asserted to until after the
evening examination. Dr. Bliss has in
his practice had cases where the form
ation of a pus cavity in a wound was
followed by a much severer chill and
higher fever than the President has had
to-day, and that it is not necessarily an
alarming feature in a case of this kind.
HAMILTON AND AGNEW.
Executive Mansion, 5:30 p. m. The
special train conveying Dr. Hamilton,
one of the consulting surgeons, left
Jnrsev Citv at 2:54 p.m.. and arrived
at Philadelphia at 4:40 p. ni., where the
second special train, with Dr. Agnew
on board, awaited the arrival oí Dr.
Hamilton. The train left Philadelphia
after half past four, and is expected to
arrive in Washington about naif past
seven.

The President took no food yesterday,
only drank an ounce of milk with rum.
It is learned to-day that there was
sliirht rise in pulse and temperature
about 8 o'clock last night, indicating a
slight fever, which was regarded by the
physicians as temporary fluctuations,
due to local causes.

fervor, "Thank God," but made no
further comment. He made the same
remark when told of Miller's election.

THE FRENCH IN NORTH AFRICA.
Vo Vm-V T1it VI TV, o TIoi-alH'a
London special says r It is difficult to
obtain any accurate idea of the condi
tion of affairs in Tunis and Algiers. The
rule compelling the correspondents of
French papers to submit their letters to
a military censorship is still in force,
and the correspondence from the seat of
the insurrection, which is printed in
Paris papers, is for that reason exceed
ingly meagre and one-sided. It is posi
tively known, however, that the French
troops who captured Sfax were unable
to advance further inland. The first
stretch of country, extending from
Sfax inland to the boundary of the Al
gerian province of Constaul and north
ward to the Med lerda vauey, is in tne
hands or at the mercy of the Kbals.
Kharison, the Holy City, inland from
Suez on the Gulf and Hammond is the
rendezvous of the Arab tribes, and there
is not less 'than thirty thousand men
well armed, irregular cavalry, within
the call of the Musselman authorities
there. The Arabs openly declare that
the Bey has betrayed the regency, and
mat it is ior uieui w iignu xor muasui-
man supremacy.
The agitation in lunisls increased oy
the arrival of Tripolitan tribes, whose
head men assert that France has de
creed the conquest of all the Barbary
States and Egypt, and the Sultan has
called upon the followers of the Proph
et to battle against this threatened
spoliation. At this season of the year,
and the summer is an unusually hot
one, it would be quite impossible for
any European force, no matter how
strong, to attempt to penetrate into the
interior. The French can do nothing,
therefore, but hold Sfax until reinforce
ments arrive in autumn, h ranee must
either subjugate the marauding tribes
or evacuate the country. The Generals
in Tunis have asked Governor Albert
Grevy for Algerian troops, but the state
of affairs there is so critical that men
can't be spared. Later details of the
capture of Sfax sav that 100 French
were killed or wounded. A portion of
the town is held by Arabs, who are
from houses and prefer death to yield
ing. An expedition to proceed against
me reDei cniei, mm Armenia, m
autumn, will consist of three columns,
each composed of 1,200 men. One col
umn will start from Laudo, another
from Zebdan, and a third from Gery-
ville, all joining in the Ksour region
and marching thence to Wigure. These
columns will tie replaced in the. garrí'
sons by fresh soldiers from France.

New York Juljr 23. The Times says:
Last week three of the abject follower
of Conkling in the State Legislature
slipped the collar and yesterday he
seems to have removed it from the necks
of the rest. He had wreaked on the
Republican party all the insult and in-
Iury in ids power, and having proven
lis impotence, succumbed to the inevi
table. The Republicans and people are
therefore in a considerate mood, but
let not men who have been fighting so
long against plain duty presume too
much on good nature. Their defeat
will prevent Republican divisions which
they did their worst to produce. Conk-

Every one of the senators and assem

their constituents and chose rather to
be in the hands of a man who had
abandoned his trust and betrayed his
partv should be content with a back
seat until he has shown unfeigned re
pentance and brought forth fruits.
Conkling it says has kept the legislature
in session two months longer than was
necessary for its legitimate work. He
has ruined the political prospect or at
east thirty oí its members. He has alien

himself, and has failed in every effort

New York has two senators of mediocral
ability, one of whom at least has not
kept himself free from the reproach of
preferring self interest to public inter
est, where the two were conflicting,
but both are likely to be far more
faithful to their duty as senators and as
Republicans than their predecessors
have shown themselves to have been.
The Tribune, on Conkling' s support
ers, says : .Nothing can restore to those
members the measures of confidence
and respect from their constituents
w hich they once enjoyed, Conkling' s
conduct has alienated every friend.
Men who admired him most heartily
two months ago are those who feel most
keenly the wrong he has done them.
eople have watched his behavior with
growing disgust. There is little proba
bility that Conkling will ever resume his
place in public affairs, unless the people
of this State have phenomenally poor
memories and marvelous powers of for
giveness. Next to Conkling the Demo
cratic party suffers. It has played the

the full meridian of life, and his recent
mistakes cannot be overlooked in the
generous spirit which pardons much of
the indiscretion of youth. He stands
facing a dark, if not rayless future. No
rainbow of promise spans his sky, nor
in the order of nature, nor in the ordi

reasonably expect to behold any new
