NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE
Worlds Washington special says
that Mrs. Garfield has sustained
herself wonderfully we'll. The con-
fidence that the President would
get we'll, which she has had from
the start, is still maintained by
her, and her attendance in the sick
room is the same as ever. She does
not show any signs of fatigue and
sees the wives Of Cabinet memb ers

ill them with the same hope she
possesses. Mrs. Garfield last even

her own room, meeting several
ladies in the corridor, she said she
felt sure the crisis had passed.

CHICAGO, Aug. ia NewYork
special revives the story Of the
Tichborne claimant who has
sprung up in California and says
that further important evidence
has been discovered to strengt then
the claims of the San Diego
man. He reports the discovery of
the existence of Jules Benant (Sir
Rogers servant) in South Ameri-
ca, who verifies the story of Col.
Barnes's client and says he will
give corroborative testimony. A
sister of alleged claimants wife
lives in Brooklyn "a Mrs. EsrD.
After Ferris's statement came
from San Francisco she denied
that he was Roger Tichborne, for
various reasons. Ferris's second
marriage was distasteful to
the relatives of his frat wife and
they berate him bitterly and de.
nounced him as an imposter on
every occasion. Their denuncia-
ton, however, brought forward the
following from Jules Benant:
BUFFALO, August 10.
To Mrs. Earl, Mdddme-I see
that you have been giving out that
the man in California who claims
to be Sir Roger Tichborne is not
Sir Roger, but your brother-in-law
and an imposter. You, as

the real Sir Roger as you will see
from what now have to say. III
am the Jules Benant who was
valet to Sir Roger. He engaged
me at Val paraiso in 1858. I travel
ed with him to Callao and Lima
and from there l went with him TO
Ecuador. Sir Roger never EN-
| barked in the Bella but

Pampas, Sir Roger WAS taken with
fever aud had to be taken to the
abode of Juenna Sanchez, near
Camadee 1 staid with HIM more
than week and thought he must
die, and was sick myself with
fever, 40 | went to Conception,
where / was i'll for long time. 1
did not take Sir Rogers baggage or
jewelry, but only little money to
pay my expenses; and II they were
stolen it was not by me, but by
some one else. did all could for
Sir Roger. 1 thought Sir Roger
was dead until 1 met him him in
| 1861. He was then Lieutenant
10 the Third Wisconsin Cavalry.
He passed under the name of Chas.
Ferris. He seemed mad against me
for he would not recognize me
although tried to speak with him.
Sir Roger left the regiment some-
time after. I knew the claimant
in England could not be Sir Roger,
but I said nothing Of this before
because L had plenty of good
ressons to keep quiet. But you are
wrong to say this IL not Sir Roger.
/ can prove he is. am going to
Canada in few days and shall
go TO New York and see you and
demonstrate to you that you were
wrong to say what you did. Sir
Roger can be identified by marks
which he has upon his body. |
know these marks we'll and can
swear TO them. 1 shall call on you
IA soon as get back from Canada.
Keep quiet about THIS until l see
you. 1t is your interest and that
of his daughter that Sir Roger gets
that which to him belongs.
Your very humble servant.
