not, unfortunately, sure to do 30. When
Congress meets next winter we shall doubt
less see something done about the Potomac
fats and the sanitary condition OF the
White House, but Legislative inertia brings
q heavy penalty when it endaDgers the
health and even the lives Of the President
and his family.
Destructive Torrent.
La CROSSE Wis.,, July 25.-The recent
storm did great damage, especially in
Coon Valley, 90 miles southeast, where
property was deluged, dams swept away
and death and destruction marked its path.
The house OF Hans Jensen, a Norwegian,
was surrounded by a torrent, and his wife
and six children, ranging in age from six
months to Is years, made a frenzied at
tempt to escape. The rising flood, how
ever, soon engulfed them, and they were
swept along ~lifeless with the water. The
husband, who was in La Crosse, first
learned the news tonight, the roads being
impossible, and there being no communi-
cation by telegraph.
Speculation as TO Supreme Judge.
ships.
CHICAGO, July 25.-The Tribune says +:
Speculation is rife as to the probable sue
cessor of Justice Clifford, whose death is
daily expected. Judge Cooley Of Michi-
gan is mentioned as his most probable
successor, and there are some who talk OF
ex-senator Conkling for the place, but it is
likely, if Conkling should be appointed to
the Supreme bench, he will succeed Hunt,
whose retirement is only a question of a
few months, rather than that of Justice
Clifford. 1t is not at all certain, however
lin fact, it is highly improbable-that
Conkling would accept the Supreme Court
Judgeship, even il it we're offered him.
An Opinion by DIR. Agnew.
PHILADELPHIA, July 25.-Dr. Agnew
says the President looked yesterday much
as when he saw him last. His condition
is now about the same as before the incl
dental feature of the abcess showed itself.
His chances for recovery are good, but
not free from danger. Possible later
changes in his condition may indicate the
position OF the bullet. He cannot tell
anything about it now /; there may be
another chill, but no other complication is
expected. His wonderful stamina and
vigor will greatly aid in healing this new
wound.
Cornplimenting DIR. Bliss.
WASHINGTON, July 25.-Dr. Hamilton
OF New York paid a very high compliment
to DR.. Bliss. He said his management OF
the case throughout was absolutely above
criticism, and he was entitled to the warm
est praise. Both consultation physicians
took occasion to compliment the surgeon
in charge in the highest possible degree.
ConkIing Gratified with the Presi.
DENTS Condition.
WASHINGTON, July 25. Conkling re-
NAMED Is or 20 minutes at the Executive
Mansion. He said to Bliss the recent un-
favorable turn of the Presidents case had
been a source of great anxiety to him. He
called in person to inquire, and upon be-
ing informed that his symptoms were most
encouraging, expressed qualification.
