Washington, Sep. 23.-The following
proclamation has just been received
from the department. jof state from the
president of the United States:
Whereas. objects of interest to the
United States require that the senate
should be convened at the earliest date
to act upon such communications as
may be made to it on the part of the

A. Arthur, president of the United
States, have considered it to be my
duty to issue this proclamation, de-
claring that an extraordinary occasion
requires the senate of the United
States to convene for the transaction of
business at the capitol of the city Of
Washington on Monday, the tenth day
of October. at noon Of that day, on
which all who shall at that time be en-
titled to act as members Of that body,

Londcn. Sept. 23.--The Lancet, dis
cussing the case of Garfield says: The
bullet did not wound any vital part in
its path, and had the serious wound it
made closed up, all would have been
well. But the wound did not heal, be-
cause its walls were bruised and SO in
jured primary union was impossible.
The retention of pent up and putrid
matter in the wound almost insured
absorption Of septic poison and death.
It may be regarded as an open question
how far successful the attempt to rem
der the wound asceptic might have
been; it would be unjust to blame the
surgeons, and it is matter Of congrat-
ulation that they were not led away by
u vulgar desire to extract the bullet
which had done no harm since it once
reached it's resting place. near the pan.
creas, and its extraction per Sc would
not have influnced at all the course Of
the case.

New York, Sep. 23.-Dr.. Hamilton,
who attended the late president, yes

facts anticipatory Of the detailed ac-
count Of the autopsy soon to be issued.
Referring to the ball he said that the
presence of the ball in the situation in
which it was found was not the i'm
mediate cause Of death, as it was COM
pletely encrysted and must have long
since ceased to cause trouble. The small

logical facts which alone could en-
danger life. This lesion Of the verte-
bra the surgeons had no means Of re-
pairing, nor could it have been repaired
save by the process Of nature. The
small fragments of bone widely dis
seminated in the adjacent tissues GER
tainly could not have been removed by
any surgical operation. It was deter
mined by the autopsy that the neces-
sity did not exist for removing the ball,
or in other words, that had there been
no other lesion 1t might have been car
ried for many years without causing
death or Inconvenience. There were
no possible means of knowing the situa-
tion Of tile ball during life as it gave no
indications Of It's presence, nor could II
possibly have been reached and recog-

nized by any form of surgical probe.
That death would have been immediate
and the inevitable result of any such
daring adventure is almost absolutely
certain. / cannot believe that one
Intelligent surgeon will hereafter think
that in any period Of the progress of the
case that the ball or the fragments of
bone which it sent before it could have
been successfully removed, nor, indeed,
any serious attempt in that direction,
would not have resulted in speedy
death. In viewing the case in the Light
of our present knowledge, ! am pre-
pared to affirm that surgery has no re-
sources by which the fatal result could
have been avoided.

New York, Sep. 23.-The HSrald's
Rawlins, Wyo.. special says: Col.
Moon and part of the 9Th infantry have
arrived from the camp on White river,
Colorado, and left on a special train
for Salt Lake City. They report that
the White river Utes have all returned,
from the agency at the junction Of
White and Green rivers, Utah, where
they were paid by the Ute commission,
to their old haunts on White river near
the military camp. The Indians say
they will on no conditions whatever
stay on the reservations. They are all
snpplied with arms and ammunition,
and any forcible attempt to compel
them to remain on the new reservation
will lead to q large outbreak, in the
opinion of the military authorities.
This tribe of Indians perpetrated the
Meelker and Thornburgh massacre
that occurred two years ogo. A carrier
arrived to-day from the military camp
on White river and reports that the
present Indications portend an out
break, and the settlers on the reserva-
tion have been driven away by the In
dians and have fled to the military
camp for protection, reporting their
wagons and ranches burned, and signal
fires on all the mountains.

Washington, Sept. Senator Bay
ard, this morning, said he had yet to
hear Of senator Of either party who
expected the senate to organize except
with the election of democratic pre-
siding officer. Previous to the admis-
sion of new senators, the clerk would
also have to be necessarily elected to
complete the organization and make the
record; the other officers were not
necessary to proper organization for
business, and would not be elected un-
til subsequent to the admission of the
new members. Any changes in the
committees could be made when the
senate is full, as the democrats would
be exactly even in numbers to the re-
publicans. He Thought they would de-
mand, and receive without resistance,
an equal representation on all commit
tees; of course this meant the organiza-
tion Of them, but It would be done by
agreement and without excitement.
He thought those who looked for an
exciting session Of the senate would be
disappointed. It would probably be the
quietest in history. The session need
not take more than week.
