$50 P. M-Seeretary Blaine has just
sent the following:
LO,rH, Minister, London:
The President continues to do well IN
his eating and digestion, and the swol-
len gland is steadily improving, but in
the last twenty-fsur hours he has made
no substantial progress in his general
condition. In the judgment OF his ply
sicians, however, he still holds the
ground gained on Sunday and Monday
last. His pulse and temperature to-day
have shown a marked increase over the
record OF yesterday. The weather has
been exceedingly warm and sultry, and
this may account for the adverse chang
es noted. Even in September and the
climate of Washington, such an op'
pressive day as this has been is rare.

day afternoon. Ilehir was in the
house of Mrs. Richard Rowe, and was
trihing with a small pistol, when Mrs.
Rowe warned him OF the danger OF hand

pistol was empty Hehir pointed the
weapon at his own head and pulled the
trigger. Tho pistol was not empty and
Hehir fell with a bullet III his cheek. Dr..
Blocksom made all examination and
found the ball embeidea in the mo!ar
bone of the right cheek.
The doctor says the wound is not dam

his own stupid ra,hness is little short OF
miraculous, for slight detection of the
weapon would have caused Il fatal wound.
The bullet has not yet been extracted, but
