Albany, July 7.-15 senators and so
assemblymen were present at the con-
ference tonight. f
Phillips offered resolutions for a
general call of caucus tomorrow
evening; and that a committee Of
three circulate the call and request sig-
natures.
Fifty-seven members voted for the
resolution, making that number in
favor Of calling caucus, and subse-
quently sixty of those present signed
it, and the conference adjourned.
Robertson and some others demurred
at the call, but in the interest of har-
mony signed it.
The object of the conference tonight
is to give the Conklingites a chance to
20 into the caucus. If they stay ont
they must explain their inconsistency,
and the session will then probably ad-
journ until Saturday, as the struggle
will be useless.

the president, to whom be said: Mr..
Garfield, you are in the hands of God,
who you have long trusted, and say
to you, the heart of the whole people

be spared. The president calmly re-
piled, know doctor 1 believe in God,
and trust myself in his hands.

From the Bedside Of the President.
Washington, July THE presi-
dents humor has not deserted him; he
makes humorous speeches occasionally,
and quotes Shakespeare. The temper
ature is not so low In the sick room as
desired, but 1t is comfortable. The
artificial lowering apparatus works
well. DIR. Bliss told DIR. Boynton this
morning that the presidents chances
are considerably better than ever. The
danger of peritonitis is rapidly passing
and it is now improbable though possi-
BILE. The only accidents which are
likely to terminate fatally, as now ap-
pretended, are secondary hemor-
rhage and blood poisoning. The hem
orrhage may occur up to Friday, but
owing to the course and present loca-
tion of the ball, this is not seriously
anticipated. The py@ma or blood
poisoning is mostly feared but there il
not yet the slightest indication of 1t.
The abcess might form anywhere along
the course Of the ball or at the extrem-
ity of the wound, but they could deal
with this. He greatly relied on the
presidents vigorous constitution,
strong vitality and calm courage. He
was the very best patient he ever saw,
although the probing was considered
unwise, he did on Saturday, with the
Nettleton probe. gently trace the

The Cooling Apparatus.

Washington, July THE artificial
means employed to cool the patients
room, consisting Of stretched blankets
kept filed with ice water and placed
between the window and bed and cool
ing the air by the constant draught,
has proved very benficial The tenn
perature was senBibly diminished as the
west breeze came into the room and
struck against the stretched blankets.
This succeeded in reducing the tempera-
ture Of the utmost Importance, for the
night was exceedingly sultry and the pa
tient would scarcely have rested as well
as he did had not the atmosphere been
kept down to tolerable standard. The
president has not suffered in the slight
est degree from nausea during the
night; his sleep was refreshing and
has the effect of giving the first ac-
QUESTION Of his strength, as the result
of an examination was as follows:
Pulse 90, two below that Of yesterday;
temperature somewhat below 100, and
respiration %. This is regarded as
eminently satisfactorily.

Washington, July III is said on
good authority that a proclamation
convening congress in special session
was prepared yesterday, or earlier, and
signed by the president with approval
of the cabinet and the vice president,
to be issued in the event of his illness
taking an unfayorable and necessarily
fatal turn, the object being to provide
against possible contingency. The
session would be called to elect presi-
dent of the senate pro tenn and a
speaker of the house of representatives.

BULLETINS.

Executive Mansion, Washington, Ju'
ly7, Q a. m.-The president passed q
most comfortable night. and continues
steadily to improve. He is cheerful
and asks for additional food; pulse "a,
temperature 90, respiration %. There
will be no further bulletins issued until
10 O'Clock. Signed, Drs. Bliss, Barnes,
Woodward and Reyburn.
Up. m. The condition of the presi-
dent continues as favorable as this
morning; pulse 100, temperature 100,
respiration %. Unless some unfavora-
BILE change occurs no further bulletins
viii be sent until $50 p. m.
2:30 p. m. There has been no change
since the last report, neither is any ex-
pected until after sundown. At this
writing clouds are coming and the In
dications are very good for a heavy
rain. This will be about the best thing
that can happen, as it will reduce the
temperature and make his condition
more refreshing. Mrs. Garfield desires
again to acknowledge her great appre-
citation for the many messages of SYM
pathy sent to her.
3p. m. The presidents condition
has remained substantially unchanged
since the last official bulletin. The
slight increase in the pulse and temper
ature since morning is said by the at
tending physicians to be only the nat
ural huctuation of the fever from
morning until noon. The president
has eaten chicken broth to-day, and at
neon expressed strong desire for toast
and oat meal with milk. The latter
was given him, as it is probably the
least Objectionable kind of solid food
which he seemed to crave.
7:30 p. m. There has been no change
of consequence since the last official
bulletin. DIR. Bliss reports his symp-
toms at this hour as full of encourage
ment.
8p. IN. The favorable condition Of
the president continues; pulse LOG, tenn
perature 1902, respiration %. Unless
an unfavorable change occurs no fur
ther bulletins will be issued until to-
morrow morning.
10:45 p. m. Attorney General Nc
Veagh says the presidents condition is
very favorable indeed. He does not
consider that the president is out of
danger yet, but says he appears to be
passing out of it as steadily and rapidly
as can be expected.
Midnight. No material change in
the condition of the president since
the date of the last official bulletin.
He is resting quietly.

Cantonment on the Uncompagre, via
Lake City, Col, July THE Ute COM
missioners have just returned after a
months trip, travelled over 500 miles
on horseback, with pack train. They
have examined the lands in western
Colorado and eastern Utah. They en-
dured many privstions, travelling for
whole days without water. They have
selected q location and the Indians will
be removed to it as soon as the requi-
site arrangements can be made.

Cincinnati, July IA fire this after
noon broke out in Marqua & Sons. chill
drens' carriage factory, at Smith and
Augusta streets, and in five minutes
the five starry building was in flames;
the region is full of factories and the
FIRE soon spread to Uniontown factory,
and the Cloister mills chair factory,
Meaders' furniture factory, and Re-
soirs' foundry. The first four were to-
tally destroyed. Chas. Plat killed and
five others wounded by jumping from
windows. Total loss half q million.
There is much uncertainty about the
loss of life. One is certainly dead, six
teen are wounded and "a are unac-
counted for, and the horrible possibility
exists that all perished. Likely some
are dead. The whole Marqua building
seemed to burst into flames instantly
and the escape from the fifth story was
cut off and there were 26 men at work
there.

Washington, July IA remarkably
quiet day at the white house. even
more so than before the president was
shot. The people seem to have ex-
hausted themselves in the constant at
tendance since Saturday and now as tho
president is apparently getting along
well, give him the quiet rest he needs.
Except the cabinet officers and messen-
gers very few people called. The mat
ters dropped back to where they was
last Saturday. The white house has
about the same appearance as 1t wears
when the president is absent; the tele-
graph instruments are quiet. The few
messengers sent or received by the ply
sicians can now and 60 without being
stopped at every stop and asked the
presidents condition. DR.. Bliss is in
tie very best spirits; he looks brighter
having managed to get some rest since
the president has taken turn for bet
ter. He said this morning everything
is as nice as could be expected. The
president passed very good night and
is better this morning. He continues
to improve slowly but surely. His ap-
petite continues good and he is very
cheerful.

Washington, July Alarming re-
ports concerning the presidents condi-
tion were circulated in various ways
yesterday and to-day, with the evident
intent to influence the press, and had a
temporary effect. The report that a
proclamation calling an extra session
was yesterday prepared and signed by
the president, to be used in case his
condition should become hopeless, is
without foundation.

The Report OF the Attending PhysI-
clans.

Washington, July THE following
dispatch was sent by the surgeons in
charge to the consulting surgeons, this
evening"
p. m. During the past "a hours
the president has continued to improve
slowly, as anticipated. A slight rise in
the temperature and slight increase in
the frequency of the pulse occurred
during the afternoon and evening. At
$3.50 p. m. the pulse was 104, tempera-
ture 106, respiration %; but in accord
ance with this diurnal movement, both
pulse and temperature were again
diminished this morning. and showed
some improvement over yesterday at
the same hour. At Q a. m. the pulse
was "a, temperature 80. respiration %.
We anticipate, of course, similar
movement for some days to come, and
SO to-day find at p. M, pulse 100,
temperature 10S, respiration %.
Last evening at $50 p. m. a quarter
grain of morphia of sulphate was ad-
ministered hypodermically. and the
president slept very well during the
night. In addition to chicken broth
and albumen, he had yesterday after
noon small quantity of scraped beef
tenderloin, which, however, he did not
relish very much.
This morning he is taking oat meal
Cruel and milk at intervals Of two hours,
with relish. A yellowishness Of the
skin, so common after wounds of the
liver, developed to a slight degree
during to-day and yesterday, but is not
more marked this morning We do
not attach great deal of Importance
to this symptom, except SO far as to
confirm the opinion already formed of
the nature of the wound.
Altogether we feel that the patient
has done as well as could reasonably
have been expected up to the present
time, and our hopes for his ultimate
recovery are strengthened by the events
Of the last two days.

Washington, July 7.-Speaking Of
reports afioat, Senator Jones said the
members Of the cabinet visited Mr.. Ar
thur at his house every day, and their
intercourse with him was of most
cordial character. He does not believe
even If Garfield dies Conkling would
accept the Premiership under his sue
cessor. His forum is the senate # he
does not return to the senate he will
not in my opinion accept the office at
all. Besides life il teo short for re-.
venees, especially political.

Esq, secretary of the chamber Of
commerce. Your dispatch was deliy-
cred to Mrs. Garfield, and on receipt of
it she remarked. that there was SO
much that was touching and beautiful
in the sympathy of the people of the
whole country, that she did not dare to
trust herself to think of it.

DR.. Hamilton'. OpInion.

New York, July 7.-Dr. Hamilton
told a Tribune reporter that after the
fifth day the chances of the presidents
recovery increase in geometrical ratio,
and while the danger has not passed, it
is becoming lessened more rapidly than
there was reason to expect, but specn-
lation is very difficult because of the
unknown course of the ball, and de-
spite the testimony, he hopes the ball
struck rib and was DETECTED so that
neither the liver nor other vital part
was struck. The functions of the
liver seem not to be impairhd, and it is
almost certain the intestines escaped
entirely. Another day like this would
warrant still greater cheerfulness, and
it is probable there would be no reap
pearance Of Inflammation.

Public sympathy with the President
and HIS Family.


Washington, July THE mass meet
ings continue to be held all over the
country and particularly in the south,
where congratulations on the presi-
dents hoped-for recovery. condemnation
of the bloodthirsty wretch, and con-
dolence to the presidents family, are
about evenly divided. Prayer meet
ings are also being held by churches
and their messages of cheer give great
comfort to Mrs. Garfield.
An emperor of Germany instructed
his charge d'affairs, Count Dearest to
inquire at the executive mansion and
cable him the condition of the president
and upon receiving favorable news he
cabled congratulations. Dearest has
been regularly three times per day to
ask of the presidents condition.
Messages arrive by hundreds from
foreign magnates and rulers and do
mestic friends, admirers and well
wishers Of either party. These are
whenever possible answered by the di-
rection Of Secretary Blaine, whose serv-
ices and advice have been Invaluable
for the past few days. The messages
express always the deepest regret and
sorrow, and generally the tenderest
solicitude and personal interest, which
cannot but touch the recipient and
evidence more clearly, than by any
other possible means the deep seated
love which the president has awakened
! in the hearts Of the people.

Sensational stories.

Chicago, July 7.-one paper has bull
letined sensational story which may
get to California, that jaundice has ap-
peared to complicate the presidents
case and to create CONSERVATION among
the physicians, as showing the liver is
badly injured. The fact is, no jaun-
dice has appered as shown by Official
and private dispatches, and the rumors
are frauds like many others that have
been sent out by alleged news mon
gers.

You are earnestly requested to send
representatives from each county to a

ana such other matters as may come be-
fore the conference looking to the over
throw of "bosS rule and the elimination

Wolfe for the office of State Treasurer as
a solemn protest against ring domina-
tion, together with the scores Of thou
sands of liberty-loving citizens who are
ready to join in the next revolt against
"bossism," shall be worthily represented
