weighs, but he has not reached the danger

tom to night, unless his slightly increased
fever were taken as such, and that he looked
confidently for improvement tomorrow. All

ming, sleeping most of the time, and his
fever has subsided. DR.. Bliss reports his

that he should, hereafter, exact of every
reporter copy of what he said before the

that he had never uttered, and II he found
that reporter made use Of any expressions
beyond copy left, he should decline to ac-
cord him a second interview.
The reporter then asked: care you re-
ported correctly in the evening paper to
day that you had no doubt whatever but
that the President would recOver?"
DIR. Hamilton-"No, sir. would not say
that of any patient, and much less of the
President, of whose case 1t is peculiarly
difficult to make a safe prognosis. The
reporter misunderstood me. said 1 be-
lieved he would get well, but that
belief is not an absolute assurance. 1t is
simply my faith.

The Coming Cotton Crop Estimated
at 100000 Bales.

CHICAGO, August 29-Messrs. s. H
Richardson, and Gilbert & Brega, commits
sion merchants, have been making a
thorough and systematic inquiry into the
condition Of the cotton crop. They re-
ceived the latter part of last week tele-
graphic advices from about sixty cor
respondents stationed at different points In
the South, and they are published this
marning in the Times. From the data al
his command, Mr.. Richardson estimates
that the entire crop of 1881 will not exceed
5000 900, or 150,00 bales below that of last
year. In this he is sustained by the views
of cotton experts in producing regions,
though the Mobile Board Of Trade estimates
the yield at 5000, 600 bales.

A CINCINNATI HORROR.
Fire In a Cheap Lodging House
Several Persons SuhOcated.

CINCINNATI, August 28-A fire this morn
ing on Court street, insignificant as fire,
and Immediately discovered and promptly
extinguished, was terrible in its results,
owing to bad means of escape from the
upper stories of the building. The fire
started in bales of hay and straw in feed
store in one Of the ground floor apartments
of four story brick building, the upper
stories of which were used for cheap lodg-
ing rooms. From the feed store an open
chute or inclosed hatchway extended to the
fourth floor of the building, up which hot
air and smoke were conveyed. Seven per
sons sleeping in the fourth floor rooms were
badly suffocated, one of whom lost his life
in jumping from fourth story window.

FRANCE IN AFRICA.
A Battle with Arab Insurgents.

PARIS, August 2S.-With reference to the
report from Tunis OF an engagement be-
tween the French troops near Hammatte and
Arabs, an official telegram states that Col.
Carreard on raising camp at Erbaine on
Friday last, to march to Hammatte, was
attacked by a body of 1900 mounted
Arabs. The French loss was trifing, but the
Arabs lost fifteen dead and a number of
wounded on the field. Col. Carreard has
suspended his advance until he can ascer-
tain the disposition OF the people of Ham
matte. 1t is desirable to occupy that dis
trict, as it will always afford facilities for the
Decentralization of troops.
