Chicago, Aug. 24. The Inter Ocean's
Washington special says: The Presi
dent's condition at noon was no marked
change from that of this morning, ex
cept that his fever is about a degree
higher. He is continuing to gain nour
ishment and it is hoped is gaining
strength.
SC1TCRATION IN EVITABLE.
Washington, Aug 21. Dr. Bliss is
quoted on the street as having told a
friend last night that everything that
could be done by human beings had
been resorted to by the attending sur
geons to scatter the swelling of llic
President's parotid gland, but it did
not appear to yield, and suppuration
seemed inevitable. The doctor thought,
however, it is said, that the discharge
would be comparatively light.
BLAINE TO LOWELL.
Washington, Aug. 2 1. According to
the opinion of his physicians there is
no marked change in the President's
condition since last dispatch. At this
hour, 1:30 p. m., there is some indica
tion of increased fever, which they say
is in part caused by the increase of the
heat of the day. He continues to take
liquid food, and does not seem troubled
by nausea or indigestion.
Blaine,
the l'aroth) gland lanced.
Executive Mansion, 2:1" p. m. As
stated in the oilicial bulletin, sent at
10:20 this morning, (he swelling of the
President's parotid gland, although not
porooptahly changed in appearance
since yesterday, seemed a little softer
as a inore careful examination made
later in the day convinced the surgeons
that pus had already begun to form,
and as the patient's condition was sat-
iisfactory it was decided to make the in
cision immediately alter the noon ex
amination. The operation was a com
paratively trilling one, and was per
formed by Dr. Hamilton without the
use of an;osthetics, local or general, but:
with anti-soittie precautions in the
shape of carftolic acid. A i-pring out
was made just under and to the for
ward of the right oar, and resulted in
the liberation of a small quantity of
healthy pus, estimated by Dr. Bliss to
be about equivalent in bulk to two me
dium sized peas. The patient's pulse
wont to 115 immediately after the op
eration, but soon began to recede, and
in half an hour had fallen to the point
at which it stood when the examination
was made for the noon bulletin, viz:
101. The patient is now resting quiet
ly and his general condition is m no
respect worse than before the incision.
It is thought now that there will be no
further trouble with the parotid gland.
If more pus forms it can readily escape
through this opening.
Although the amount secreted up to
that time was indeed small, in view of
the low and impoverished condition of
patient, it was thought unsafe to allow
this pus to remain in the gland, and
since, if not liberated promptly its
character might change and complica
tions become more serious. At the
noon consultation it was decided to
make the incision soon after the 1:30
p. m. bulletin in the swelling on the
right side of the face, below and in
front of the oar, ami set free the small
quantity of hoalthv pus. The operation
was, comparatively speaking, a trilling
one, as the incision was not (loop and it
was therefore thought unnecessary to
use anesthetics, either local or general.
A spray of carbolized water was thrown
upon it as an anti-septic precaution.
The patient's pulse became more fre
quent immediately after the incision
was made, and readied the maximum
of 115 boats, but soon subsided.
Colonel Rockwell said the talk about
rtelerhim-is all nonsense, as the. Presi
dent is not delerious and has not been.
He is sometimes a little incoherent for
a moment after he wakes and before he
fully gets control of his senses, just as
anyone would be in his weak and debil
itated condition and after seven weeks
fever, but at all other times his mind is
as olear as yours or mine.
'The patient swallowed to-day about
fourteen ounces of liquid food, consist
ing of principally beef extract, pepton
ized milk and milk porridge. At this
hour he continues to do well.
HE "WANTS TO GO TO MENTOR.
Washington, Aug. 24. When the
surgeons assembled this morning the
President again recurred to the topic so
prominent in his mind yesterday and
the day before viz.: His removal to
Mentor. He is insisting on some time
being tixed as the surgeons have told
him his wound is now causing them lit
tle annoyance. He could see no reason
why the trip should injure him. Upon
being told so long a railroad journey
would be imprudent he said he had de
termined not to remain in the White
House any longer if he could help it and
asked if he could go to Fortress Monroe
by steamer. The surgeons could only
promise him he should be removed at
the earliest possible moment it could be
safely done.
1)1!. AG.NEW's ENCOURAGING WORDS.
Chicago, Aug. 24. A Philadelphia
special reponer says: Agnew to
day seemed in better spirits than at
any time since the unfavorable change
in the President's condition, more than
a week ago. "The public," he said,
'had been led within a day or two to
magnify the danger the President was
in, and to fear a sudden change for the
worse, which the physicians had not
looked for. Many public people had
hardly realized until now that the Pres
ident was very badly wounded, and
that the injury might at any time have
caused his death. It has passed its
most aggravated stage, which was in
evitably followed by a period of almost
complete prostration, it is necessary,"
said Dr. Agnew, "for a patient so
wounded to reach the bottom of the
ladder before he begins to ascend it
again to the high ground of restored
health. That period of complete pros
tration through which he is passing was
complicated by the failure of the stom
ach, that has been partially restored to
strength, and it is now a question of the
staying powers of the President and his
recuperative force whether he shall ad
vance toward convalescence. There
are no indications of malarial fever,
which with particular care we have
looked out for. That there are no traces
of malaria at the White House nor
could I lind that anyone who ever lived
near the Executive Mansion had
been atllictod with it in the past. The
sick room is- very comfortable and
healthy; the temperature may be re
duced to almost any degree by the re
frigerating apparatus, and the chamber
where the President lies is by far the
most comfortable place I have been in
at all."
"Are there fears of new complica
tions from the swollen parotid gland?"
"Dispatches from Washington antici
pate another operation, it may be
neopssary to open an abscess if the in
ilanimation developes in that point, but
it can hardly be called an operation.
The soreness is from the impoverished
condition of the blood, but the danger
of present inflammation from that cause
has been magnified by unollicial de
spatches." "It has boon stated that the Presi
dent's mental faculties have at last suc
cumbed to the assaults of the wound
and failing strength of the system and
that his mind has become partially, if
not wholly obscured."
Doctor Agnew replied in effect that
he was very weak and emaciated but
that his mind was quite as clear as it
had ever been. Ho was the first to
know the result óf the physicians' ex
amination which precedes every bulle
tin. He talks very little to attendants,
but none in the sick room knows better
than he what is going on about him.
All he says is rational.
"Is it not true that the physicians
know much more than is communicat
ed through the bulletins?"
"You may say," concluded Doctor
Agnew, "that the case is by no means
hopeless. We don't anticipate any
sudden change cither for worse or for
bettor. Our hopes are based on the
recuperative powers of the President
and the restored strength of his stom
ach to bring renewed vigor, and if in
the end his improvement is permanent
hisoonvalesencc will be a very long
one."
Doctor Agnew will not return to
Washington until Saturday unless sum
moiied by the attending physicians.
WILL THEY MOVE 11 IM ?
Executive Mansion, 10 p. m. Doctor
Bliss sent the following telegram to

Sherman, Texas. Aug. 24. News of
a most horrible affair in Cook county
has been received. Some time since
Ben. Blanton, ex-sheriff of Cook eoun
ty, and a desperate man, met James
Todd, who had been a witness against
him in a law suit, and abused and in
sulted him in a most outrageous man
ner. They separated, each vowing to
meet the other for linal settlement. The
men met to-dav and both drew weap
ons and fired . Todd was shot through
the heart and in the breast. The top of
Blanton' s head was blown off. Both
men were lying dead" when discovered.

FINANCIAL.
London, Aug. 24. The Times says:
We are informed the rise in French ex
change is likely to be followed by an
advance in the"Bank of France rate of
discount. The bank apparently deci
ded against the renewal of the policy of
relaxation adopted last year. A good
deal will depend upon the amount of
gold withdrawn for shipment to Amer
ica to-day. Although gold is not com
ing to London from the continent it is
still being purchased there by the Ital
ian syndicate and American operators.

ENGLISH ADDRESSES OF SYMPATHY.
London, Aug. 24. United States Min
ister Lowell writes the Times that he
has received a dispatch from Secretary
Blaine acknowledging the arrival at
Washington of numerous addresses of
sympathy forwarded by Lowell from
various public officers and from other
sources in (ireat Britain in regard to
President Garfield. He says there is no
way of conveying to corporations and
private persons who sent the addresses
a recognition of their courtesy by his
government. Lowell therefore asks the
Times to publish an extract of the dis
patch from Blaine stating that the nu
merous addresses in regard to Mr. Gar
field cannot but further and strengthen
the affection of the mother country al
ready existing in the hearts of the
American people.

ROW IN GERMANY
Since the Emperor
has declared his great dislike to anti
Jewish agitation the conservative press
have begun to discuss the question in a
calmer spirit, and the authorities have
taken all measures necessary to pre
vent the outbreak of new riots. It
would seem that the movement has ter
minated for the present. The progres
sive, press, which is mostly under the
influence of the Jews, is very triumph
ant. Several Berlin stock exchange pa
pers continue to print very violent arti
cles accusing Bismarck of supporting
the anti-Israelites. These papers ex
pressed their satisfaction in such an of
fensive way that the rioters in Ponicra
nia will be severely punished.

CAPTAIN HOWGATE'S KKAl'PS.
Colonel Cook, for the Government,
this afternoon entered a civil suit
against H. W. Howgate to recover f 101,
257. Writs of attachment wore issued
and placed in the marshal's hands and
his deputies seized all the real anil per
sonal property belonging to the de
fendant. It is stated that the investi
gation developed that the defendant
has unlawfully drawn from the United
States Treasurer on checks and appro
priated to his own use the sum men
tioned. It is believed further investi
gation will disclose that further large
sums were taken by Howgate and that
he has with full knowledge of these
facts and while the investigation was
still going on suddenly left and without
declaring anv business or reason for
leaving the Uistnct and without indi
cating how long he would remain or if
he ever would return, it is helieveu
Howgate intended to dispose of his real
estate in the District so as to defeat the
just demands made against mm. J he
checks on which money was unlawful
ly drawn are on the order of the Amer
