The President slept tranquilly the great

to-day an increased portion of solid
food, the wound is doing well and his
general condition is better than yester.

Executive Mansion, 7. p. m. The
President passed a , very satisfactory
day. The wound continues to do well.
He takes an adequate quantity of nour
ishment and appears to be in better
condition than yesterday at the same
hour.
The president this morning again as
serted that he could feel the ball dis
tinctly when he was raised into a sitting
position altiioueh unable to uo so when
reclining. This is due to the weight of
the abdomen pressing against the groin.
As such pressure woula soon produce
irritation the opinion is generally ex
pressed by surgeyns outside of the case
that an operation for the ball will be
necessary before the president is allow
ed to leave his beu.
Executive Mansion, 11 p. m. The
progress of the president towards re
covery is to-day marked and satisfac
tory. He has taken rather more than
the usual amount of nourishment in
eluding beefsteak, milk, meal extract,
toast saturated with beef juice and a
little coffee. His strength is daily in
créasing and he is already able to do
more in the way of turning himself in
bed and helping others to raise his
body than the surgeons think prudent
to allow. Since last night at this hour
he has had between 11 and 12 hours
quiet natural sleep and
nypouermic injection ot one
one-eighth of a grain of sulphate of
iiiorpaia, which is usually given mm
after evening examination, was reduced
to-night to one-sixteenth ot a grain,
which was found to be amply sufficient.
The afternoon febrile rise was to-day
trilling and subsided before nine
o'cIock. Since that hour the patient
nas slept most oi tne time ana is asleep
now. with every prospect of having a
night of quiet refreshing rest. In the
opinion of the surgeons the Psesident
is better and stronger to-day than at
any time heretofore. ' '
The Cotton Ezpotf tton Nuccess.
New York, Aug. 3. The letter from
our Atlanta correspondent confirms the
statements that the financial and indus
trial exposition to be held in that city
from Uct. oth to the end ot December is
no longer a matter of doubt or anxiety.
Much interest which has been manifes
ted in the undertaking in the North as
well as the South, and even abroad, has
surprised the most sanguine expecta
tions of its promoters. f Two English
ships loaned with machinery will soon
be on their way to this country, so that
visitors to the exposition may see the
machines of Old England working in
friendly competition with those of New
England in the manufacture of cotton
from the seed to the finest products
We are promised among other things
instructive exhibits of Georgia and use
ful material from other States, tropical
fruits and flowers of Florida and the
Gulf States, the canes of Louisiana.

banta e, Aug. 3. lhis city is now
without any railroad connection with

either way on account oí the washouts
on the line of the A, T. & S. F. railroad.
Business is greatly retarded owing to
tho suspension of travel and the mails.
It is impossible to state when the dam

Gnltcan Pray tor Release.
New York, August 8. The Tribune's
Washington special says: District At
torney Corkhill visited the jail for the
first time in ten days. His visit was in
consequence of notification from Gui-
teau who said he had an important
communication to make to him.
Upon the entrance of the District
Attorney into his cell Guiteau arose and
produced a folded paper. This was
found by Corkhill to be a petition
drawn up in the hand of the assassin
and praying for his release from jail on
bail in the sum of $15,000. Guiteau
bases his claim for release on bail on
the fact that the President is now re
garded as out of danger and that his
physicians concur in stating that there
is no probability whatever of another
relapse.
I he construction of the petition
shows considerable familiarity with the
forms and methods of law. The 'docu
ment throughout is drawn up with a
conciseness and exactness that indicate
anything but insanity.
Guiteau was very anxious that the
District Attorney should take prompt
action on his prayer for release ana in
timated that in the event of a favorable
consideration of the petition he would
have no difficulty m securing bonds
men in the sum indicated.
A aueer feature in this matter is how
Guiteau has managed to obtain informa
tion as to the favorable condition of the
President from opinions expressed by
his physicians.
Tho appearance of the assassin has
changed little since his committal to
jail. His complexion has paled some
and he moves with a languor that is
slightly different from the lounging
manner noticeable at the time of his in
carceration.
Foreign FImbdch.
bkadlalgh's last "break."
London. Aiier. 2. An immense crowd
to-day cheered Bradlaugh when he en
tered the palace yard on nis way to
Westminster Hall some time before the
assembling of the House of Commons
On Bradlaugh' s attempting to enter the
House he was quietly removed from the
lobbv and escorted by the police into
the yard where he stood conversing with
amend.
LITTLE WESTERN ON HER WAT.
London. Aug. 8. The dory, Little
Western, from London. June 14, for
New York, was spoken in latitude 83
north and longitude 86 west by the
steamer . Donari. which arrived at
Southampton yesterday. She wanted
no assistance, although her main boom
was broken and the crew said she was
leaking at the rate of four inches an
hour.
In the Commons Laboucherie raised
the question of privilege that a resolu
tion of the House in regard to Brad
laugh only excluded him from the
House whereas he had been removed
from the lobbv, and he moved that the
officials were therein exceeding their
authority.
The Speaker replied he considered it
his duty to remove Bradlacgh and
added. "The door is closed."
The cheers of the crowd outside were
audible to the crowd inside the House
Gladstone supported the Speaker and
said Laboucherie s motion was untena
ble. After his first repulse Bradlaugh re
mained some time standing in the pal
ace yard with his arms folded and three
policemen in front of him barring his
way to the House. .
Gladstone declared. Bradlaugh must
not be treated as having no more right
fn untnv tlu TTdiisf" tlmn . Htrnncmr.
Ñorthcote endorsed Gladstone's view
while Sir Milfored Lawson was speak
ing against the illegal conduct of the
House.
Bradlaugh, who had evaded the po
lice endeavored to force an entrance
but he was seized by a messenger and
dragged from the doors when, he was
taken in charge by the police still re
sisting strenuously his coat being torn
in the struggle.
The Speaker ruled that the motion of
Sir Mutred Lawson lor rescinding the
former resolutions against the admis
sion of Bradlaugh irrelevant and clan
destine that before the House was the
conduct of the Speaker in prohibitin
Bradlaugh access to the lobby.
After Bradhurst and Cowan had
spoken in favor of Bradlaugh the Right
Honorable John Bright described how
bradlaugh was brought down to the
palace yard in a fainting condition. He
thought such scenes " unprecedented
He had appealed to the opposition to
reconsider their former decision so as
to extricate themselves from the pres
ent difficulties. He was called to order
for irrelevancy. .
Lord John Manners says Bright's at
titude was calculated to encourage
Bradlaugh, who had necessitated his
forcible removal by attempting to force
an entrance
An amendment to Laboucherie' s mo
tion, declaring that the House approves
of the conduct of the Speaker and offi
cials under his orders was accepted by
Gladstone and Northcote and was
passed.
A number of Liberal members quitted
the House before the vote was taken,
amidst ironical cheers.
Bradlaugh after expulsion went to the
Bow street court for a summons against
the police.

The Mint Mix.
San Francisco, Aug. 8. In the mint
investigation to-day G. W. Bryant,
miller and refiner of the Carson mint,
was the principal witness. He had ob
tained some bullion at the Carson mint
from the Northern Belle by remitting
refining charges, but found he could
noi worK ii wiinoui loss 10 me govern
ment. On notifiying Mr. Low, of the
Anglo-Californian Bank, that . the
charges would have to be imposed on
the bullion, it was taken away from the
Carson mint. The bullion from . the
Northern Belle went through Carson
en route to San Francisco, but they
could not obtain it although they paid
the same price as the San Francisco
mint.
New Line of Steamers.
. ..o
ChicagoJ (Aug. 3. The New York
Times of yesterday says: It is reported
that a line of steamers between j.ngiana
and San t rancisco is about to be estab
lished and the large shipping firm of
K. W. Cameron Coi, is interested in
the enterprise. Mr. t Cameron is in
Europe, but his partner Mr. Street said
that the arm knew nothing of such a
scheme and he considered it impractic
able. A line of steamers might be able
to carry grain from San Francisco
around Cape Horn to England cheaper
than it could be transported across the
continent by railway, hut wheat could
not stand the expense of either. It is a
trade for sailing vessels only.
Rich Strikes.
Breckenridge, Col., Aug. 3. Says the
Summit County Leader: Two rich
strikes of pre have just been reported
from Chihuahua made on Monday on
the Buena Vista lode. A tunnel at a
depth of nearly two hundred feet cut a
true fissure vein of over four feet in
width of solid mineral which mill runs
two hundred and forty ounces of silver
to tho ton. in the Blue Lode, the own
ers, H. C. Snyder , and others have
struck an eighteen inch vein of carbo
nates of copper, running five hundred
and ninety ounces. Considerable ex
citement exists in the immediate local
ity in consequence.
The Only Remedy.
New York, Aug., 3. The Herald and
Times each, in leading editorial declare
that the only remedy for the war as
rates arising out of abuses of railroad
management is to be found in legisla
tion and the only effective legislation
must come from Washington.
The Herald says : Much may be done
by state enactments and what can be
done should be done by every state.
Tho Times says: It can properly be
secured through proper legislation by
each state applicable to inter-state traf
fic and proper legislation by the nation
applicable to inter-state traffic.
Mnlefle Malaria.
New York, Aug. 23. The Herald
says: The rapidity with which children
are dying this summer in New York

are now sufferin": who never felt its ef
fects before. Everyone is asking,

PECOS VALLEY.
Only
People and Capital Reejnlred to
Develop It.
Roswell is situated about seven miles
west of the Pecos river on the left bank
of the Hondo river, and near, and be
tween, North and South Spring rivers,
and about four miles to the southwest
of Antelope river. North Spring rises
three and one half miles north of Ros
well and runs by the town, its waters
filling three irrigating ditches. South
Spring is four miles south and furnishes
water for the irrigation of several thou
sand acres of land. All that is needed
in that section to cause its develop
ment into oné of the best farming and
fruit regions of the West is settlement
and capital. Immigration is now com
mencing and more capital flowing in.
Seven Rivers, sixty miles below Ros
well, takes its name from seven springs
that flow out eight or ten miles distant
from the Pecos, forming small rivers.
Between them a large amount of land is
now being irrigated. The Pecos can be
dammed at or near its junction with the
Peñasco river, twelve miles above Sev
en Rivers, and the water utilized so as
to irrigate twenty thousand acres of
land. There would be sufficient water
for carrying out such a scheme, and it
could be accomplished at a trifling ex
pense compared with tho great value
that it would be to a company making
the improvement. The estimated cost
of the dam and main ditch would not
exceed $4,000.
On Delaware Creek, fifty-three miles
from the southern boundary of New
Mexico and Texas, there are many
good locations for farms that ean be
easily irrigated. Already there are a
number of small farms under cultiva
tion embracing from ten to fifty acres
each, and thousands more can be wat
ered by the Pecos, nature here having
done much to make it an easy task.
From here down to the point where
the Texas & Pacific R'y will cross the
Pecos, a distance of sixty-seven miles,
there are no running creeks that put
into that river. The creeks are ordi
narily dry at their jnnction, but fur
ther back from the river they are filled
with clear, running water. From twen
ty to thirty miles back there are numer
ous streams an average of ten miles
apart. But near the banks of the river
an abundance of water can be se
cured. To sum up, the Pecos Valley on the
west bank of the river from Roswell to
the T. & P. railway crossing is from one
to twenty miles broad; on the east side
it is narrow until the Texas line is
reached, when it broadens out to sev
eral miles wide at the railway cross-
in?.- ....
urasses are of good quality on both
banks, and grow very luxuriantly.
Back in the mountains are many per
petual springs. All this makes the re
gion the best kind of stock country.
There is no timber in the valley, but in
the mountains from ten to fifty miles
away there is an abundance, and of the
finest quality, , There is enough mes
quit for fuel. Cottonwood planted five
years ago are flourishing nicely.
.Those acquainted with the best Texas
ranges and those of other states declare
that there is no where in the west a
finer opening for stock raising than
from Roswell to the T. & P. R. R.,
crossing, one hundred and ten miles.
There are now many fine cattle in the
country, with more coming, and still
room enouge in Lincoln county for two
hundred thousand more.
What is wanted to develope the coun
try is a railroad down the valley and no
country could be found anywhere for
constructing a line, where as little grad-
ingwould be required and there would be
absolutely no difficulties encountered.

Speculator to old miner in Léadville,
handing him out a bag of samples:
"Gold quartz or carbonates?" The

indifferently, took out his knife and
picked at it awhile, and then asked,
"Got much of it?" "Thousands of
tons," answered the other eagerly.
"How much do you suppose she'll
