Washington, Aug. 23., 9 a. m. Yes
terday's bulletin it will be noticed in
stituted comparisons with any previous
condition. Such comparisons have
been a marked peculiarity of oilicial ut
terances and have been entirely mis
leading. The presence of the Cabinet
oilicers show that the true condition of
the patient is apparent. .Slight varia
tions of pid.se and temperature have
been unimportant factors in the Presi
dent's cast!. He has been sinking slow
ly but surely, slipping away from the
tender and' skilllul hands which have
sought to hold him back. That those
who see him everv hour as weeks roll
away should fail to note the signs of
diminished hold on life, is but repeat
ing the experience of tens of thousands
of loving households bereaved in the
midst of hope. For several weeks
One member of the Cabinet has been
under taboo at the White House for
holding ami expressing a belief that
Guitcau has succeeded in his wicked
work; that his heart was full of pity for
useless sutTerl'njyf Thift tabwo-auust now
certainly have extended to all the Cab
inet. Air. Blaine's dispatch of last
night disclosed to the world what has
been known for several days. That the
premier had abandoned hope when he
returned here and saw the condition of
affairs last week.
That fateful Saturday seven weeks
ago he slept a feverish sleep, which is
all he has had to rest him since Wed
nesday night. The great head moved
slowly from side to sitie and the once
eloquent lips uttered unintelligibly.
Such a picture will give to the public,
dazed with conllicting reports, an idea
of how low lies the President.
BLISS INTKliVIKWKD.
Washington, 1:30 a. in. In an inter
view with Dr. Bliss he made the fol
lowing statement: The Presidents is
doing nicely to-day. lie has swallowed
18J ounces of liquid nourishment since
1 o'clock last night, and has taken an
enemata. His food has been stronger
than yesterday. Much more beef juice
and peptonized milk have been added.
The stomach seemed to assimilate the
food well and without discomfort.
There is evidence of increased strength
to-day as the result of more stimula
ting diet and less frequent and stronger
pulse. Otherwise there is little change.
The parotid gland is still hard to touch
and not perceptibly changed in appear
ance. Suppuration, if it begins at all,
which is questionable, may not come
for two or three days yet. Septic evi
dences in the blood are apparently
passing oil'. On the whole, 1 think his
condition a little better than yester
day. He seems to me to be mending.
Executive Mansion, 1:2." p. m. Dr.
Iteyburn reported at 4:'25 that the
President has had a comfortable after
noon. No unfavorable symptoms have
made their appearance, and he has
swallowed, since one o'.elock last night
twenty-one and one half ounces of
liquid nourishment, including a fair
proportion of b,oef juice. At the pres
ent ho'ir, although there has not been a
decided change, the President is doing
fairly well.
DESPONDENCY AND D ESPAI1!.
New York, Aug. 23. A Post's Wash
ington special says: There isa Aery
despondent leeling here notwithstand
ing the otKcial bulKtins are somewhat
better. Despondency is directly at
tributable to the midnight despatch of
Blaine. The general feeling is that
Blaine does not put his name to a de
spatch which has not been carefully
considered and of course he had a bet
ter opportunity of obtaining informa
tion from the surgeons than liad the
newspapers. Blame's despatch is a
revelation to a large majority of per
sons in that it for the first time gives
them an adequate conception of the ex
traordinary weakness, exhaustion and
emaciation of the President. Those
who have seen General Garlicld in
health c'an scarcely comprehend that he
now weighs but one hundred and twenty-live
pounds, yet Mr. Blaine's de
spatch, the accuracy of which without
doubt isconlirmed by the statements of
those constantly about the sick room
and of the attendants who have felt
him. "I left him. He is nothing but
skin and bones," said one of the at
tendants. Increasing anxiety at the
White House is illustrated by the fact
that Mrs. Garfield scarcely leaves his
bedside for a moment and has discon
tinued her evening drives, but the
President's physicians certainly have
by no means given up hope.
OFFICIAL BULLETIN.
Executive Mansion, 0:30 p. m. The
President has continued to take liquid
food by the mouth at regular intervals
during the day ana nas natt no recur

swelling remains unchanged. In other
respects his symptoms show some im

New York, Aug. 23. A Washington
special says: As very considerable
nourishment has been retained upon
the stomach in the last forty-eight
hours without the least gastric disturb
ance and without increasing the
strength of the patient, points to the
fact that he is showing unmistakable
signs of growing exhaustion. Fear is
expressed that there is a lack of ability
to assimilate even such easily digested
food as has been given. That the Pres
dent is noticeably weaker than at any

nine inning in ninths is uunimeu,eveu
when his condition is compared with
that at the close of his sixty hours'
starvation ending Friday last. When
he awakens he lies still, scarcely turn
ing to look toward his attendants, un
less necessary to take something from
them. Only to his vvife does he attempt
to offer greeting. To all others he is
indifferent. There is evidently an ef
fort to keep his consciousness.
An attendant describes him as lying
this morning with his knees drawn up
and right arm passed over his head,
just as he laid on the stretcher when he
was brought into the White House.
UNOFFICIAL BULLETIN.
Executive Mansion, Aug. 2:30 p. m.
From the best information obtained
at this hour, including two of the at
tending surgeons, it may be said that
the condition of the President is not
changed in any respect since yesterday
afternoon. He is taking increased
quantities of nourishment, and this cir
cumstance of course affords rational
grounds for the feelings of encourage
ment, but the same uncertainty which
prevailed yesterday with regard to the
future course of the glandular in
flammation prevails to-day and
then; is still some question
whether the patient can take
nourishment enough to sustain his
strength through the present critical
stage o? his case. Indications are that
he can, but until there is a more de
cided change than has yet occurred
confidence in his recovery must be
withheld. It can only be said that the
patient certainly is no worse in any re
spect and that his ability to take nour
ishment is steadily increasing.
15 LA INK'S DISPATCHES.
Chicago, Aug. 23. An Inter Ocean's
Washington special says: A 7 p. m.
Secretary Blaine is sending several pri
vate dispatches in answer to the ques
tion as lo his opinion. He replied, "I
am simply saying that the symptoms
are more favorable, that is all.' 1
BULLETIN.
Executive Mansion, 10:30 p. m. The
President has had rather a better day
than was generally anticipated. The
somewhat discouraging tone of Secre
tary Blaines telegram to Lowell last
night seemed to prepare the public tor
the worst and although the official bul
letin this morning was favorable the
general feeling of anxiety and appre
hension prevailed both at the Executive
Mansion and throughout the city. It
seemed to be almost generally conceded
that the condition of the President was
in the highest degree critical anil
alarming, and on the streets the per
sons asked what they thought of the
President's chances would have re
plied that death was a question of
a few days if not a few hours. F'or this
excitement and alarm however the real
facts of the case hardly furnish suffi
cient justice. The actual condition of
the President was the subject of grave
anxiety to the surgeons, attendants and
Mrs. (iai lield, but no more so than yes
terday and not as much as on Sunday.
That afternoon was really greater rea
son for discouragement than at any
time since then, because there seemed
then to be)iily a very faint hope that
the patient's demoralized stomach
could lie brought to resume its func
tions. As soon as the President began
to swallow food again his condition
lo that extent became more hopeful.
.Without adequate nourishment death
from exhaustion seemed certain while
with proper nourishment he might
live. In a qualified sense, therefore, he
was better this morning than Sunday
night, although his general condition
had not materially changed. Before
going to examination to-day he had
swallowed six ounces of beef juice
without nausea. His increased ability
to take nourishment encouraged the
surgeons hope. The danger from ex
haustion which they regard with the
most apprehension might be evaded.
The President passed a quiet morning
taking nourishment frequently in the
shape of beef juice, peptonized milk
and milk porridge, with enemata every
live or six hours. Up till noon he had
swallowed sixteen or seventeen ounces
of liquid fluid but there had been no in
dication of increase in strength with the
exception of stronger and slightly im
proved pulse. The glandular swelling
remained hard and showed no change
in size or appearance, and the amount
of mucous secreted in the back part of
the mouth was about the same as yes
terday. Generally speaking, the pa
tient was holding his own but made no
perceptible progress, lie slept about
as much as usual during the afternoon,
and continued to take nourishment un
til at four o'clock he had swallowed
more than twenty ounces. At 4:20 this
evening Dr. Rayburu reported that the
general condition seemed slightly im
proved. This information was con-
lirnied by the evening bulletin, which
showed a lower pulse than the patient

"The Flrnt 9In who Touches a
Cucumber Die."
Denver, Aug. 23. Peter Spink, of the
firm of Spinlf & Upton, vinegar mak
ers at 2tst and Newatta streets, this
morning arrived in town and gave him
self up to the authorities, stating that
he had shot and killed John Burki. It
seems that Spink and Burki were rais
ing cucumbers on shares at a ranch
seven miles from Denver on Bear Creek,
Jefferson county. They had agreed to
take turns in picking, one to pick
one week and the other the
next. It is stated that Burki had
already been picking two weeks, when
Spink Sunday went to the place and
asked if he was to be allowed to pick
this week. Burki replied he intended
to put in the remainder himself. Upon
returning to town Spink was advised by
his lawyer to assert his rights
and taxe possession. Accord
ingly this . morning,, .he.: ,.jvrmed
himself with a revolver and two com
panions and Went to the - ranch in a
wagon. As the party alighted from thei
wagon liurki went to the house ana en
tered with a shot gun, saying that thé
nrst man that picked a cucumber would
die, and commenced pulling the ham
mer back and raised the gun as though
to take aim. The srun was pointed to
ward Spink and he immediately tired

and the other in the 'breast, producing
serious but not needlessly fatal wounds
Captniu Howjjate's Criminalities.
Washington, Aug. 23. The Evening
Critic-says at the instance of General
Hazen a further charge was made
against Captain Howgate for the ad
ditional embezzlement of $50,000. The
evidence upon which this charge is
made comes from JNew York detec
tives who found a voucher for
the payment of supplies in large sums
furnished by parties in New York.
Ihese parties positively disclaim all
knowledge of the transactions, affirming
that the supplies in question were
never furnished by them and that no
such moneys had been received from a
disbursing officer of the signal service.
In one instance forged vouchers for
$10,000 were discovered, and specified
in this lurther charge which covers
what has been unearthed. It is charg
ed that a double set of vouchers were
obtained by Howgate on the plea that
the funds of the various years must be
kept seperate.
4iicn. Hatch's Report.
Washington, 1). C, Aug. 23. The

London, Aug. 23. A despatch from
Tunis says the Bey's troops, which left
Goletta yesterday have gone to Kair
wan in the hopes of inducing the tribes
there to yield and thus avoid the neces
sity of entering the town. The French,
however, are determined to occupy it
as they desire. This will cause disaf
fection in the adjacent provinces of
Algeria for which purpose they must
subjigate the southern portion of the
regency. The French are entering up
on the most difficult part of their en
terprise, as their enterence into Kair
win wilfbe seriously opposed. It is
feared that in the event of a collision
the Bey's troops will side with the re
bellious tribes.
Kelly and iraco.
New York, Aug. 23. The Mayor and
John Kelly are said to have made a
treaty of peace the first results of which
will be the confirmation of the Mayor's
nominees when the aldermen reassem
ble Tuesday. Mr. Grace and the cx
boss it is said were at Saratoga the oth
er day and some mutual friends im
proved the opportunity te bring them
together to talk the thing over. The
experiment proved a signal success as
both bosses were willing. The basis of
the treaty is equitable stipulating a di
vision of city patronage in other words
and a recognition of Tammany at the
public crib.

New Ydrk,' Aug. 1 23. The Herald

Irish la tent Ions oh English Vessel.
-íhihtdelphia. Aug. 23.--The Ledger's
New York Special says: .1 heariroin
good authority that the British consu
late cabled the home government the
substance of an address of the so-called
Irish revolutionary convention which
has been held in secret sessions here
during the past few days. That ad
dress without the slightest qualiheation
proclaims their intentions to destroy the
British vessels whenever they can be
found and declares that it is just as well
to begin a work which is more easy ot
accomplishment and by the time a few
hundred English merchant vessels are
destroyed the world may witness the
beneficent sight of all the shipping
merchants and insurance companies ot
England presenting petitions to Glad
stone to reconsider the Irish question.
Cornell Crew's Crookedness.
Ithica, N. Y., Aug. 23. The Daily
Journal says that Shinkel of the Cor
nell crew, Michael Casey, a saloon
keeper and Samuel AV. Reed, a whole
sale liquor dealer, made up the party
that had agreed that Cornell should
lose all the races abroad after the first,
which it was expected the crew would
win. The Journal says there is docu
mentary evidence of the treachery and
states that Shinkel wrote Casey from
London before the Cornell crew had
started for Vienna to bet that Cornell
will lose the Vienna race.
