that the most remarkable result, in the
way of taking horses under fullstrot,

makes so sensitive a plate that new
methods of opening and closing thel

WASHINGTON, August 2l.-Dr. Boyn-
ton said about $50 O'Clock tonight that
il was well to admit that this vomiting
spell of the President might portend
serious results; that while it was doubt
less true that severe coughing had
brought on the vomiting, it
might indicate continued weakness
Of the stomach, and that unless the
Presidents stomach will admit OF his
taking nourishment IN the stomach, the
case would look desperate. Boynton
thought tomorrow would decide it one
way or another. Soon alter
DR.. Bliss admitted substantially
that the condition OF the case tomorrow
would be likely to show whether the
President can recover or not. he ex-
pressed himsel as feeling hopeful, but

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
A Tug Explodes Her Boilers at Chicago
Fearful Suffering ofthe Victims.

A Tug Explodes Her Boilers at Chlcago-
Fearful Suffering ofthe Victims.
CHICAGO, August 20.-At 6 O'Clock
this morning the tug A. b. Ward, while
astern of the barge Adams, on the way
out, and on the river between Clark and
LaSalle streets, exploded her boilers.
Five men were aboard oil the lil-iateu
craft at the time. These were, captain
T. S. Butler; the engineer, Ole Wilson,
better known as Ole Oleson; VIM. Nc
Donald, deck hand; Mike Mcdonald,
fireman, and Fred Whitaker cook. Two
tugs were in charge OF the Adams. The
forward one had Just passed through
the Clark street bridge on the north side
of the bridge pier and the barge was Just
entering the channel when the explosion
occurred. At this moment the A. B..
Ward was length ahead OF the barge
and the length OF its tow line west OF Clark
street. The conclusion was 30 great
that the immense boiler tug was fired
like bullet into the boat house under
the north end OF the bridge, where it
lies now high and dry. The Captain OF
the tug, Mr.. Frank Butler, was blown
through the air in the same direction,
and iell mangled on the deck OF the
barge OF the Adams Nearly the whole
of the tugs deck was blown of. The
tug S. V. TAYLOR was about two hundred
feet astern Of the wrecked vessel and
within minute was at its side. Mike
Mcdonald, the fireman, and Fred.
Whitaker, the cook, were found cling
ing to the wreck and taken off. The
yawl boat astern OF the Adams, that
contained sailor, had been split in
twain and the occupant, Greek, was
also taken from the water by the Taylor.
Within three minutes after the rescue
of these survivors the wreck OF the
Ward sank where it exploded. The
Adams was towed to the State street
bridge and docked, and Captain Butler
taken ashore. A cursory examination
of his wounds showed them to be fatal:
The back OF his skull was fractured, and
from the moment he struck on the deck
OF the Adams he did not utter word.
His senseless body was tenderly car
ried ashore and placed on wagon and
hastily driven to his home. The In.
inries of the other survivors were not
apparently serious, although for a time,
30 covered were they with scalds and
coal dust that it was not possible to
make an examination.
Mike Mcdonald has his wrist torn
and somewhat bruised and scalded, but
was able, after being washed and his
wound dressed, to walk away without
aid.
Fred Whitaker, cook, who was scald-
ed slightly in different portions OF his
body, was also able to take care OF him.
self.
The bodies of Oleson and William
Mcdonald have not yet been recovered
and are supposed to be entangled in the
wreck.
The Ward was the property of John
Crawford Eand F. S. Butler, the I'M jured
captain. She was valued at $4,000, and
was not insured.
Capt. Butler was still alive at mid
night, and his physicians believed there
was a chance OF his recovery.

Forster Condemned.
LONDON, August 20.-In the Commons
last evening, during the debate on the
vote for the salary of the Chief Secre-
tary for Ireland, Parnell said he
thought Mr.. Fosrter was more detested
by the large body OF Irish people than
any of his predecessors, on account Of
the mode i'll which he administered not
only the coercior act bnt the general Law
of the country. With regard to the
future he said il the Land bill brought
about substantial abatement of rent
the Irish people, he thought, would
make the best OF it and would use it as an
instrument for the attainment OF COM
plete land reform.
Dawson, Redmond and Barry, Irish
members, joined in condemning Forster
in language more or less strong, Barry
declaring that Forster's name was held
in execration, and he had worked the
coercion act to sttle the Land League.
On vote for law charges and costs OF
criminal prosecutions, Parnell severely
criticised the recent crown prosecutions
in Ireland. Healey and others sharply
attacked the conduct OF the Irish sti-
pendiary magistrates. The Irish esti.
mate has been disposed of with the ex-
ception OF five items. Among these is
the vote for constabulary.
The Arrest of Davitt,
LONDON, August 20.-In the Com
mons to-day Parnell, in calling atten-
ton to the re-arrest OF Michael Davitt
and moving for his release from custody,
said it was currently believed that Da-
witt was arrested because he called For
ster "Mr. Outrage Forster" In speech
Parnell said it was the meanest and
most contemplate acs ever committed
by any Government.
Harcourt, Home Secretary, justified
the arrest OF Davitt. He said Davitt
had returned to Ireland as an ayowed
Fenian, and used language which no
Government in the world could toler-
ate. The Home Secretary incidentally
stated that he had often vainly tried to
obtain disavowal OF Fenianism from
the Irish members OF the House, who
supported the Land League. He init
mated that Ithey could not disavoy the
views of those who are sup.
plying the funds from America.

LONDON, Aug. 20-In the House OF

ton for the release OF Davitt was defeat

Point in the Case.
LET THE NATIONS PEOPLE PRAY.
DEPRESSING INTELLIGENCE.

The President Vomits Twice Yssterday-
Eis stomach Surely Impaired.
WASHINGTON, August 2l.-To.night's
bulletin, stating that the President has
vomited twice this afternoon was a sur
prise to the public and has a somewhat
depressing effect. The surgeons
have said of late that the Presidents re-
covery depended upon his stomach;
that if it would retain n0urishment
enough to oimpart strength final recovery
might be hoped for. In view of this
statement of the case another spell OF
vomiting is regarded generally as most
uniavorable symptom. DR.. Bliss says,
however, that the vomiting did not
proceed from nausea, and therefore does
not Indicate continued irritation OF the
stomach. He says that owing to the
swelling OF the parotid gland a mucous
collection gathers in The Presidents
throat and it has been difficult
for him to expectorate; that
il has caused the President
considerable annoyance for two days
past, and when he sleeps this gathering
of plegne in his throat causes a rattling;
that to-day's efforts to expel the phlegne
caused q violent fit of coughing,
which ended in vomiting, and that
the second vomiting followed fit of
coughing, but not Immediately. Bliss
said that the vomiting came about two
hours after nourishment has been taken
into the stomach; that there was
no nausea whatever, and all evidence,
he saws, goes to show that the stomach
performs It's functions and is compare.
lively free fron irritation. He
said that although he was satis-
fed tnat the vomiting was
caused by the mucous collection and
the coughing, it had been decided to give
the stomach sh0rt rest, aud that no
more nourishment by the mouth
will be put into it for a few hours; that
the enema will be depended upon en-.
tire!y to sustain the President until it is
entirely sale to resume giving food by the
mouth, that as the stomach has had
this strain il is not safe to risk IT. He
SAYS the first vomiting discharged the
contents OF the stomach, but the second
expelled about four ounces OF bile and
this cleaned the stomach out. The
swelling of the gland is denied, and it
is preparing to superate. The surgeons
think it will not be in condition to cut
for four or five days. The last spell OF
vomiting was at $40 O'Clock, and up to
$50 there had not been any more, so
q message then received from one OF the
doctors said, but despite the.explanatien
given Of the cause of the vomiting there
is a general depression here.
