cific Mail Company. A previous
meeting of the officers of the over
land railroad companies had made
1t condition Of the renewal of the
contract between the companies
that the Pacific Mail should sell to
the overland railroads the China
line. AT the meeting yesterday
the Pacific Mail Company offered
to sell the line on the terms pro-
posed, but only on condition that
the recent agreement by which
the overland railroads paid the
steamship company u subsidy of
$4,000 q month should be con-
tinued, on the same terms, for the
period of ten years. The price Of
fered for the two steamships of the
China line. the City of Toxic and
the City of Picking was 1900, 900
and the value of the eompany's
property necessary for the opera
ton of the line which the over
land railroad proposed to buy
make the amount Of the proposed
sale about $1,450,000. The offer of
the company, however, was reject
ed ct once by the officers of the
overland railroad companies, who
declined peremptoriIy to conclude
the bargain on the terms proposed.
At the end OF the conference, Pres
ident Houston, of the Pacific Mail
Company, called meeting of its
Directors for Thursdsy, to report to
them that the companies were ut
terly unable to agree upon the

critieises the Presidents message
as being more like an address from
the throne than any document OF
the kind since Washipgton's time,
but commends it for its non-par-
tizan features.
The Tribune finds the message
Objectionable chiefly for its recon-
mendations on the silver question
and for its unusual length.
The Inter- Ocean regards 1t as
dignif1ed and worthy document,
vigorous and straight forward. The

There was 10 marked change yesterday IN
the condition of the President; he passed

was less than on the day before ard quickly
passed away. His physicians are greatly en-
couraged at the progress he is making. The
Lancet of London, England comments Oh the

WAsHINGToN, July 29.-The official bulletins of
the Presidents condition to-day really leave Moth
ing be said. They could not have well been more
favorable and satisfactory and universal feeling in
Washington tonight is of confidence In
the Presidents recovery. There may be
hidden dangers, and the President may
experience another set back his road toward
convalesence but people prefer to believe that from
this time forward hls progress to health will I've
steady and rapid.
The surgeons, however know that the patient is
not yet out of danger, and, while they believe he
will recover, they abate none of their efforts Gr
vigilance in hi, behalf, but watch every change and
symptom with the most careful anxiety.
At the White House late this evening all the mem
bers of the Cabinet were present except the Attor
ney-General, and they were engaged in discussing
public matters Otherwise the Executive Mansion
deserted, except 10y the two surgeons who
mained on duty and by the usual attendants. In
the public rooms of the building there nothing
except the attendance of agent of the Associated
Press to indicate condition of affairs different
from that which prevails when the President Is well
and Congress not in session.
At 10 o'clock the President reported to be
resting quietly with no fever. His nourishnent to-
day has consisted chiefly of the julce of freshly
roasted beef, milk and prepared meat extract. AS
experiment, the surgeons have also given him to-
day small quantity of the Tartar beverage,
koumiss.
11:30 p. m.-There is marked Improvement in
the Presidents condition tonight as compared with
that of three DAYS ago. He has taken il, the past
fifteen hours the full usual allowance of nourish-
ment, and there has been slight Increase In bis

the fever began To subsde, the patient felt asleep
and has slept most of the time since. He is
