 Hartmann's scase-Omcials Reticent Con- corning the Policy of the .Government- Reports From Our Consuls Abroad- Other Matters. r WASHINGTON, August 5.-Numerous inqui- ries have been made at the State department in regard to Hartmann, the Nihilist, and what our government will do in his case if his ex- tradition is asked by the Russian govern ment, but the State department officials de- cline to announce what may be the policy of the government in the possible contingen- cy in advance of it's occurrence. Thus far no request has been preferred by the Russian government to have even an examination of the case made by the State department, ,and it is not likely to be, as he has gone to Can ada.

Cyc1One-Damage tO Property and De-
 struetion of Crops.
 ST. PAUL, Aug. 5.-A severe storm swept over this section of the State last evening. and extended as far as Menomonee, in Wis., consin. The greatest damage was done in Minneapolis. For time it really appeared as if the city was to be swept by a genuine cyclone. A house in process of erection by Frank Lee was wrecked. Lightning struck the barn of Andrew Paulson, which was burned. County Surveyor Hummer, who was in Brooklyn township when the storm struck that point, asserts that the sound of the storm could be distinctly heard for some time before it's arrival. After it's passage the damage was found to be confined to hay and grain stacks, which were levelled and scat tered about the country. Small grain in the fields and in stacks was blown down and bad ly damaged. It is impossible to estimate the damage done in the line of the storm, as the wires In every direction were wrecked

 Morphfa-The Febrile Rise Growing
 still Weaker--The Symptoms All Fa~
 vorable. II
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The President had slept up to p. m. about eleven hours of the last twenty-four. The evening examination of the wound revealed slight increase of temperature over that at the same hour last night, but the pulse and respiration remained about the same Dr. Reyburn was asked to- right regarding the increase of two or more tenths of degree in each of the last three or four evenings over the temperature of the night preceding. He said this was probably caused by the granulation of the wound channel This process has the effect of con- tracting the channel so that it is difficult to keep the drainage tube free, and consequent ly the temperature was slightly increased. This. coupled with the febriie rise, rise usual with a wounded patient, Dr. Reyburn said, ought to be satisfactory explanation of the matter. He wss rther asked. if there was any danger of sts. channel con- tracting sufficiently to hinder the flow of pus in addition to affecting che temperature. He replied that the channel would not be likely to contract much, but if it did change of tube might meet the emergency. ''The President, p continued the doctor, Nis doing very nicely tonight He was given no mor- phine at all and does not go to sleep quite so readily, but sleeps quietly and sufficiently" He said also that the excessive heat of to-day was noticeable even in the sick room, where the ventilating apparatus was at work to good advantage. The President remarked this afternoon ssIf must be very hot out side." The President has lost forty pounds during his sickness and presents avery ema- ciated appearance compared with his usual grand physique. He is now eating more than enough to allow him to hold his own, and will doubtless gain flesh before long. He fell asleep before 9 o'clock and rested quietly all the evening.
