The Presidents bill of Fare.
EXECUTIVE MANsIoN-9A A. M.-July 49,
The Presidents progress toward GONZALES
cence, noted in the official bulletin Of Sat-
urday, steadily continues. He feels greatly
refreshed by the %restful, unbroken sleep
which he had last night, and which was
materially assisted by an agreeable change
in the weather. His pulse is gradually
lessening, it now being SO with normal
temperature and respiration. He will re-
ceive for breakfast beefsteak, toast and
mint juice and poached e~ggs-later on a
little oatmeal cooked to a jelly. 1t is
deemed best by the surgeons to give him
solid, substantial food in the morning, dis
continuing it at l o'clock, after which time
only liquid nourishment is given.
$3.50 A. M.-The President has passed an
other comfortable night, and is doing well
this morning. His pulse is SO; tempera-
ture, 9S.4; respiration, IS.

/ p. M.-The condition of the President
has not materially changed since this
morning. He has no fever, and is resting
quietly. Pulse, 90; temperature and res
piration normal.
Particulars of the Train Robbery.
KANSAS CITY, July 16.-There is consid-
cradle evidence to show that the train rob.
berry on the Rock Island Railroad last even
ing was done by the notorious James gang,
and it may prove that one or both the
James boys were present with the gang.
The horses used by the robbers in their es-
cape were fine thoroughbred animals, and
in the best of condition for the work on
hand. The horses were hitched to a fence
about fifty rods from Winston Station,
where the following letter was found to-day:
KANSAS CRY, July 12.-Charlie: I got
your letter to-day, and was glad to hear
that you had got everything ready in time
for the 10Th. We will be on hand at that
time. Bill will be with us. We will be on
the train, don't fear. We will be on the
smoker at Winston. Have horses and boys
in good fix for fast work. We will make
this point again on the night of the 18th.
All Is right here. Frank will meet US at
Cameron Junction. Look sharp and be
well fixed. Have the horses well guarded,
for we may have some running to do. Don't
get excited, but keep cool till night time.
Wilcox or Walcott will be on the engine. l
think best to send this to Kidder. Yours,
TIN, and through death stick.
The letter was found under the brush and
bearing evidence of having been carried for
some days in the pocket. The people of
Winston and vicinity, who know the James
boys and most of the comrads they have
had in the past, say they have no doubt
this ia the same lot. The officers Of the
United States Express Company refuse to
name the amount OF money taken from the
safe, but say they think Sl5, 900, Con-
ductor Purple, of the Hannibal Railroad,
WHo passeu tnIoubu SaheroH with hts tiuin
last night, stopped long enough to gather
some Of the facts. He says Westfall was
shot while his back was turned to the assas-
sin, and that Mcclellan, the stone mason,
was shot because he, seeing the intention of
the robber, attempted to cut him down with
a stone trowel, the only weapon at hand.
Conductor Westfall had been running the
passenger train upon which he was killed
almost a year. He had a wife and four
children living near Gallatin, No.. but had
not been living with them for some time.
Mr.. Conkling ut Albany.
ALBANY, July 1s.-After two f~ruitless
ballots for a successor to Roscoe Conkling,
during which the stalwarts remained I'M
broken, the joint convention adjourned.
The Tribune says of Conkling, who arrived
in town yesterday: Conkling declared that
he was not beaten, and that the final and
determined effort must be made to adjourn
the Legislature without electing his sue
cessor, but at all hazards, he said, lap
ham must be prevented from reaping the
reward of his perfidy by an election to the
Senate. Conkling made this declaration
to Senator-elect Miller in a sneering way,
according to his friends, while he did not
notice his late supporter, Speaker Sharpe.
Confidence i'm the Presidents Re.
covery.
WASHINGTON, July 1S.-To-day DR.. Bliss
pressed on the Presidents stomach all
along where the ball is supposed to have
passed, and started a flow Of pus. The
Doctor says that at least a wine glass of
pus started, which is an indication that
the wound is open along the track Of the
ball, and that it will begin healing from
the inside. All the surgeons said tonight
that their highest hopes OF the Presidents
case had been reached, and their conf
dence of his recovery was greater thar
| ever before.

zette has positive information that Billy,
