Chicago, Aug. 1s.-The Inter 0ceaa',
Washington special says: The bulletin
at noon has been the best since Mon
day. Pulse 108. Temperature 9S.4, res
piration II. The president has taken
two or three swallows of koumiss this
forenoon without distress.
2 p. m. AS DIR. Hamilton was leay-
ing the white house ten minutes ago be
said in response to a question of a
representative of the press, that he
could not conveniently explain the
cause of the Inflammation of the par
otid gland at this time, but he said it
was perfectly proper to state that 1t
was not an indication of any serious
complication; that it was not an unu-
sual occurrence in such cases, and that
It caused no alarm whatever to the at
tending physicians.
The Inter- Ocedn's dispatch further
says: A sensation was caused by the
official report that the parotid gland was
infamed. 1t is not known yet to what
extent this complication will affect the
case. some believe 1t denotes the for
nation OF a new pus cavity or abscess
by transferrence, which may indicate
pyamia. The parotid gland is the one

New York, Aug. 1895 D. m.-
The Posts Washington special says:
DIR. Hamilton, little before the noon
bulletin was issued, said: 'sThe wound
is doing admirably and we are confident
we can restore the stomach" The
attorney general however received news
from some source which disquieted
him. He said this morning he was
advised by the surgeons that they fear
they cannot restore the stomach.
4p.m. The president is quiet, and
with the exception of experiencing
considerable pain from Inflammation
of the parotid gland, is quite comfort
able. He has taken koumiss at inter-
walls all day and has retained it. 1t is
generally maintained by the surgeons
that the Inflammation of the gland is
not an alarming feature.

MEXICAN NEWS.
The Perennial Troubles on the Mex
ican Border.
A Mexican General Proposes United
Action
To Suppress outrages-A Lengthy
Interview.


San Francisco, Aug. 1s.-A dispatch
from Tombstone Arizona, territory,
says: There is no news from the party
of Americans who left here day before
yesterday, to avenge the murders COM
mitted by the Mexieans. Gen. Adolfe
Dominquez has just arrived from the
frontier and Sonora, where he holds the
position of adjutant under Gen. Jose
Otoreo, now in command Of the troops
ON the Mexican border.
An Epitaph!reporter interviewed Gen.
Dominquez and obtained the following
information:
Our people have been great sufferers.
We have lost many citizens killed and
much property stolen; we are, there
fore, taking active steps to protect our
citizens and repel raiders. There are
1000 regulars besides the militia on
the line, and three forts and supply
camps are to be established at once.
Every precaution will be taken to pro-
tect both our own citizens and such
Americans as are engaged in legitimate
industry within our lines.
Reporter.-Are you in Arizona on Of
fetal business?
General.-I am. A part of my busi-
ness is to purchase supplies for the new
forts. / purchased some at Bisbee and
Charleston, and will send more from
Tucson. l want to talk with repre-
sentative men of your cities, and also
have an interview with your governor
and commanding general. / leave to-
night for Tucson and will go from there
to Prescott as soon as possible.
Reporter. will you propose to
our chief official?
General.-I hope to effect an arrange
ment by which the most thorough,
harmonious and efficient cooperation
may exeist between American and Mex
lean troops on the border. We can only
drive out these thieves and murderers
by united action; we are not only will
ling but very anxious that such united
action should exist
heporter.-Have American raiders
done mueh damage In your country re-
centiyF
1enerai.-Anairs have gradually been
growing more and more desperate. 1t
Is estimated that during last month
more than ten citizens have been killed
and upwards OF $4,000 worth of prop
erty taken.
Reporter.-Are your people under the
Impression that this disposition to raid
is general among the citizens of this
sectionf
General-No. We believe that
American officials and great majority
OF your citizens deprecate these acts of
iawlessness, and believing this we have
courage to hope that by united effort
outlaws may be suppressed, and an
early adjustment of all difficulties eff
fected.
Two companies Of the 9th cavalry
have been ordered from Camp Huachu-
cax to Camp Grant, the nearest post to

tlon.
Washington, Aug. 1S.-This morn
ing's bulletin showed the president bet
ter, and it was received with great salts
faction. The bulletin figures were back
to where the president was before the
last operation, when he was regarded
as convalescing. His improved condi-
tion seemed to keep up after the MORN
ing dressing. After 10 O'Clock, Col.
Rockwell said, the president was better
in every respect. About II O'Clock DR..
Bliss said there was a visible improve
ment; that the stomach was stronger
and better up to that hour. Liquid
nourishment had been given several
times and was retained without bro.
ducing any nausea. The fact that the
president enjoyed pretty good nights
rest was considered as favorable
symptom too. There was great anxiety
to see the midday bulletin, which was
issued nearly an hour later than usual.
This delay caused a feeling Of alarm, az
heretofore whenever there has been de-
lay 1t was because something has been
wrong. The bulletin when issued was
in guarded language, which added to
the general uneasiness. The surgeons

Is commencing Is construed by many to

ip the heat and passion OF tiercely con-
tested election; but we can recall no
other instance Of a'vast public meeting
held ly political parry within two
months after signal defeat.
This extraordinary political phenom-
enon results from an indignant feeling
on The part of tue Democraoy, that they

tBusiness--Land League.
LONDON, December 81 "A dispatch
from Dublin says it is generally said
that so dull and sad Christmas has
never been experienced here. A sullen
depression marks the spirit OF the peo-
pie and traders who have for some time
been feeling very acutely the effects OF
the disturbed state OF the country, are
beginning to exhibit signals Of embar-
trassments, but agitation which is paral
izing trade, putting capital to fight and
poisoning commercial lie still extends
It's deadly influence, while the sufferers
look on its progress in hopeless dismay
The efforts of the Land League are now
chiefly directed towards the north OF
Ireland, where 1t is persistently trying
to overcome the repugnance to its prac-
tices. There can be little doubt but that
Iit has succeeded considerably When
mostly all the districts are honeycombed
with it's organization the exertions o.
the agitators will be directed toward
county Dublin and itself. Malohide
near Dublin, was the scene of second
|'demonstratio on Sunday, but there il
no reason to. boast Of its success.
