Special to the sEsr1xEI.l

tice Clifford is much discussed. Devines
and Chief Justice Gray of Massachusetts,
are candidates, and every New England
State will nave one or more candidates,
as it is assumed that the Judge will be ap-
pointed from there. The talk of appoint
ing Conkling is absurd, and his friends say
be would not have it. Some prominent
Republicans hold that a Democrat should
be appointed, and think Garfield will APP
point one.
Blaine has gone to Lowell. At O'Clock
P. NJ. the Presidents condition had much
improved. His pulse was down to 80,
temperature and respiration normal, and
appetite good. His sleep last night was
very refreshing.
Condition of h President.
EXECUTIVE MANsIoN-10:45 A. M.-Dr.
Boynton has just come from the Presi-
dents chamber and reports the patient in
excellent spirits. He says his undisturbed
sleep last night greatly rested him, and he
has partaken of increased nourishment
this morning. The favorable change in
Presidents condition is plainly visible on
the countenaDces of the immediate at
tendants of the sick room, who during the
period Of the fever which occurred subse-
quent to the incision bore expressions of
anxiety. This morning these same persons
may be seen about the house bearing cheer
full countenances and exhibiting an appar-
ent air of qualification. When asked what
truth there was in the statement that Mrs.
Garfield had suffered extremely from the
effect of the strain upon her mind during
the past three days, DIR. Boynton said it
had no foundation whatever. sShe was
not i'll, in fact said the Doctor, "Mrs.
Garfield is feeling brighter and in better
spirits this morning than at any time since
she was sick. She went to ride last even
ing and returned very much refreshed.
Her husbands present condition is very
encouraging to her.
New YORK, July 27.-Postmaster James
has received the following:
WASHINGTON, July ~.
We are all rejoicing over the marked i'm
proyement in the condition of the Presi-
dent. Ii is now believed that any further
danger OF a recurrence of the chill is
ayerted. There Seems to be no obstacle in
the way Of his recovery. He slept nearly
nine hours last night and is refreshed and
strengthened. DR.. Boynton just assures
me that the President is better than at any
time since his injury.
(Signed) THOMAS L. JAMES.

healthy in character, is discharging freely.
Since then he has been resting quietly and
takes his nourishment readily without gas
trio disturbance. At present his pulse is
80, temperature 1914, respiration Is.

Organization of q New Company.
New YORK, July 2.-It is said that a
company has been organized with a view
of controlling the freight tonnage on the
Mississippi, Missouri and Ohio rivers.
Sixty-three steamers and 120 barges have
already been bought at their actual value.
The purchasers claim that they can run
them at a reduction Of $500, 900 a year in
expenses. James r. Keene is said to be
at the head Of this company. It's projec-
tors say they are now perfecting arrange
ments by which grain and provisions can
be shipped to Europe at little more than
half the price now ruling by rail at Allan
tic ports. The company have bought all
the warehouses on the river mo- controlled
by the railroad companies, and are to erect
others at New Orleans and various points
on the three rivers. A meeting Of those
interested was held here on Friday, and
complete arrangements are to be perfected
this week.
Savage Attack ON Keene.
New YORK, July 27.-The World. owned
by Jay Gould, attacks Keene savagely. 1t
says it is estimated that his short interest
in Western Union Telegraph Company
stock amounts to over $4,000 shares. He
seems to think that the Postal Telegraph
Company, of which he is the leading
spirit, is to be the means by which he can
break Western Union stock. Keene has
yet to demonstrate that he possesses the
ability to build any property. When he
was made Director of the Erie Company
it was claimed that he would soon put it
on a dividend basis, and that the stock of
the road wonld go to SIS. Neither OF
these events have happened. When he in
troduced his Silver Cliff mining stock.
40 US4V WIN ~ was tu6 etOCA lOI
them to take. They have not yet found
that statement to be trne, as the stock has
deprecated on their hands. Another COM
pany in which he is q Director is the
Maryland Union Coal Company. A large
amount OF this stock was disposed OF at
$50 as q special favor to buyers. 1t can
not now be sold at any price, and the
Directors do not seem disposed to make
known to their stockholders the inside
history OF the company. 1t would be con-
soling to some Of the stockholders to know
how their money was lost and who is
responsible. At the time of the organiza-
ton Of the Mutual Union Telegraph Com
pany it was announced that Keene had
subscribed $500, 900 to the enterprise. If
he did so it shows how little he knew Of
telegraph enterprises, as the subscriptions
Of the Mutual Union are now offered at 5
per cent below cost, and no bids are
quoted at any price.
Expressing Regret at sfm0nton's
Resignation.
New York, July 27.-In accepting 81
monson's resignation to-day. the Executive
Committee of the Associated Press adopted
a resolution expressing the regret of the
association and its profound appreciation
of his faithful and valuable services, and
directing that such arrangements be made
as should be agreeable to him in regard TO
the time when he should be relieved.
Mrs. Coleman committed 20 the
