Utility Of Gen. Arthur being called upon
to act as president until Garfield is
sufficiently recovered to warrant his
resumption of executive duties. The
fact cannot well be overlook that in
every department there are matters in

remain so without positive detriment
to the public interests, is question
that must soon be known. Although
it is positively known that no meeting
Of the cabinet has been held OF called

A Quesr suicide.

Detroit. Sept. 1.-Quite q remarkable
suicide occurred q few miles from
Ithica, Gabrial county, on Sunday. A
man named Martin X. Walker,
lived on small farm there. He was
formerly a prosperous stock raiser in
California, but sixteen years ago came
east, and I've years ago settled ON the
last place of his residence. Drink
and gambling were his besetting sins;
finally he lost pretty much all the little
property he had remaining. Last Juro
he went into the field, stripped himself
of his clothes, set fire to brush heap,
placed gun to his head and snapped
it three times without discharging the
gun, intending 10 kill himself and allow
his body to fall on tho burning pile.
On Sunday last be carried the singular
attempt at suicide into effect. He was
found with the top Of his head COM
pletely blown on, and his naked body
partly burned on blazing heap of brush
which he had kindled. He left letter
announcing his determination, express
ing confirmed hopelessness as to him
self, and warning his children to avoid
whisky. He leaves wife and several
grown up children.

oErIcIAL .uLLErlNs.

Washington, Sept. 1.-7:30 a. m In
formation received from the physicians
room is to the effect that the presidents
condition this morning indicates con-
tinusd Improvement; he slept well dur
ing the night and this morning his
pulse is below 100.
$50 a. M Towards nine O'Clock last
evening the president had some fever
ishness. and his pulse ranged from l0S
to 116. This condition which was un-
accompanied by rigors or sweating. had
subsided by midnight. and did not in
terfere with his sleep. He had, on the
whole, a good night and this morning
his condition Is fully as favorable as
yesterday at the same hour. Pulse 100,
temperature 96.4, respiration II.
1880 p. m. At ths morning dressing
of the presidents abscess of the parotid
gland, 1t was found to be discharging
freely, looks well and continues to di
minish in size. The state of the wound
remains the same. The presidents
general condition has not materially
changed from this hour yesterday, ex-
cept his pulse has been somewhat more
frequent. At this hour his pulse is
10s. temperature 98.6, respiration 10.
2:30 p. m. The surgeons report that
there has been no material change in
the presidents condition since the noon
bulletin. They think, with the excep-
tion ofa somewhat higher pulse. he is
doing as well to-day as yesterday.
$50 p. m. The condition of the
president has not materially changed
since the last bulletin. except that there
has been a moderate rise of tempera-
ture this afternoon. 1t having been
represented to US that a portion of this
mornings bulletin has been misunder-
stood, we would state that the presi-
dent has had no rigors for several weeks
At present his pulse is los, temperature
o9.4, respiration IS.

Washington, Sept. l. 9:3O p. m.-The
president continues to do well in his
eating and digestion. and his swollen
gland is steadily improving, but in the
last "a hours he has made no substan-
tial progress In his general condition.
In the judgment of his physicians,
however, he still holds the ground
gained on Sunday and Monday last.
His pulse and temperature to-day show
marked increase over the record of
yesterday. The weather has been ex-
ceedingly warm and sultry, and this
may account for the adverse changes
noted. Even in September the climate
of Washington was such that so op-
pressive a day as this has been rare.

New York, Sept. la reporter
called upon number of republicans
this forenoon and talked with them
about the meeting of the republican
state committee. Collector Robertson
said: "The proceedings of the commit
tee yesterday was very harmonious, and,
although the stalwalrts carried out their
prearranged programme, and this city
was chosen as the place for holding the
convention. it was by bare majority.
1t is thought this city was preferred by
the stalwarts because they are stronger
here than anywhere in the state.
don't think they will resort to any
other measure to control the conven-
tion. From the sentiments expressed
yesterday I am led to believe there will
be an earnest effort made on the part
of both elements to heal differences,
and select ticket which will re-
ceive the support Of all republicans
throughout the state. If this is done,
we shall certainly carry the state in
November" When asked about the
failure Of the committee to pass any
resolution Of sympathy with the presi-
dent, the collector says:
81 think 1t was merely an oversight.
1t is to be regretted certainly that a
body Of republicans of the state Of New
York should make such mistake, but
I cannot think 1t was Intentional; be.
fore the committee met I spoke of this
matter to Mr.. Vrooman, and under.
stood him to say that some one present
had set Of resolutions prepared which
would be presented to the committee
after the formal business was over.
Several members were discussing this
question among themselves, when mo-
tion to adjourn was made and carried.
Had known that no resolutions would
be presented, I would have presented
that resolution myself. 1 cannot be.
lieve that this motion was made to pre-.
vent an introduction of such resolu-
tion. Other gentlemen spoken to, re.
gret the omission Of the Garfield resolu.
tions, and attach no Importance to the
selection of New York City as the place
for holding the convention.

San Francisco, Sept. LA ATombstone
dispatch says: In Ramsay caiion, this
city, thirteen year-old-girl informed
her father that in passing q Mexican
wood cutting camp. she had been in
suited by a Mexican boy. A mob went
to Ike camp and compelled the Mexi-
cans, nine in number, to whip the boy
with knotted rawhide thongs resulting
in his death in few hours after. The
girl subsequently said her story was not
true but was told for fun. Fears are
entertained of retaliation from the
Mexican side. S

Paris, Sept. 1.-The republicans are
doing their best not merely to hold their
own, but to wrest seats from the reac-
tionarY. In the last ballots, wherever
they had two candidates confronting, the
reactionary the one newest on the list
has with scarcely an. exception retired,
and in several cases this has been fol-
lowed by the withdrawal of the reac-
tionary candidate from what had thus
become hopeless contest. Even in
some constituencies, where there was
no reactionary held, the republican can
didate who head the polls on Sunday
week would be allowed a walk-over.
As result Of these retirements the
laisant republicans, notorious with the
attack on Gen. DeCissey will be elected
without opposition. Haussaman, Bo-
napartist, has withdrawn from the
candidacy for Lespare, Gironde, inti-
mating he prefers LaLande, republican,
J to Pascal, Bonapartist.

ness is in no ways suffering through his
continued disability, he nevertheless
thinks much upon the subject. Is bet
ter evidence needed than the fact that
during his recent incoherent utterahces
they were constantly and entirely in
relation to public matters, and it il
feared that his recovery might be seri-
ously retarded BY knowledge that It
WAS deemed necessary for the perform
ance Of his constitutional duties. It is
safe to say this step will not be advised
by the cabinet at present, a. the presi-
dents symptoms continue favorable.

Chicago, Sept. 1.-The United States
commission to examine into the cattle
diseases, particularly pleuro pneumonia.
held its session to-day. and read many
reports from various sections Of the
country, and compared notes of their
observations. An opinion was inform
ally expressed that there was not and
never had been any pleuro pneumonia
west Of Elmira, New York, and that
western farmers should be warned
against purchasing blooded stock in
the eastern states unless they were sure
they were not infected, as the disease
was undoubtedly contagious.

Cape Town, Sept. 1.-The wrecked
steamer Teuton had on board lat pas
sengers, and crew Of eighty persons.
The vessel struck rock but hoated of
and was in the act of putting back to
port when she sunk. The majority of
those on board perished. All the off,
GERS were drowned. Three boats were
lowered, one of which foundered along
side of the steamer, and the others have
arrived at Simontown, containing
twenty-three of the crew and four of
the passengers.
The Union Steamship Mail company
state that twelve passengers were saved.
In regard to the wreck of the steamer
Teuton near Onion point. the company
have received q telegram announcing
another boat with the second, third
and fourth officers. Three seamen, two
flremen and one coolie were drowned
at Simontown. The occupants think an
other boat with 80 women and children
may still arrive. The steamer Danube
will go in search Of the SURVIVORS. The
company hope the loss Of life is not SO
great as was at first estimated. They
believe that fifty passengers for Knysra
were landed at Capetown to proceed to
their destination IN a smaller steamer.
Most Of the passengers were emigrants.

Washington, Sept. 1.-The president
is having quite a comfortable day. He
chewed another piece OF beefsteak and
swallowed the juice early this morning;
since then he has had little chicken
cooked Ia milk, besides the usual beef
extract and porridge. All symptoms
continue favorable. In conversation
this morning. DR.. Boynton said the
president is doing ss well as they could
wish; the slight fever which occurred last
evening was not, DR.. Boynton thinks,
a matter Of any great consequences; its
duration was transient, and it was
nothing more than one of the fiuctua-
tions which are to be anticipated as
long as the president remains in his
present weak state.
'Then he has not gained much bodily
strength"
81 think he made little progress in
that respect yesterday, as much as We
could reasonably expect. His general
appearance, however. has improved con-
siderably. The gland swelling looks
very well. he is not nervous, and the
sudden roar of passing train would
not shock him. Noise In his room
shocks him less than 1t would a well per-
son. The chief danger is Of overtax-
ing his strength. Possibly he will be

counties are yellow and parchsd, with
no second crop Of hay. In the lumber
regions nearly all the grist mills were
compelled to shut down. and genuine
alarm is setting In throughout the val
ley. The price of butter and milk is
being raised by dealers in many sec
tions. while water has to be carried in
oil tanks to the farmers. The loss in
the state will run into millions Of dol
