giving any opinions outside, but
there is no conceallng the fact that
the President Is decidedly worse
and that he Is in much danger.
The general feeling here is one of
great dependency. Crowds are
pressing to the White House for
the latest news and doctors not
connected with the case have but
little hope. DR.. Garrett and other
eminent surgeons fear the worst
results. Hopes are still felt that
the President may get better to.

ForthcomiuE crop Repors.
WASHINGTON, August 18TH
The Department of Agriculture
will tomorrow issue report on
the condition of the spring wheat,
corn and tobacco crops. The state
ments of the condition of these
crops as received from correspond
ents of the Department have not
yet been fully tabuiated. While
nothing official can be obtained, it
is believed that this report will
show that the falling off in the
crop of spring wheat will not be so
large as is generally anticipated;
also, that the decrease in corn in
the west will be less than expected,
but that in the South, that crop
will be an unusually small crop.
Fhe tobacco crop shows u decrease
in yield.
Spoltea Tasl's arurasser Arrested.
WASHINGTON, August 15.-The
Indian Bureau to-day received an
other report from Agent Cook, at
Rosebud Agency, about the killing
of Spotted Tail. He had arrested
Crow Dog, the murderer, and
Black Crow, his accOmplice, and
sent them to Fort N iobrara for con.
finement until the arrival of the
United States Marshal to take
charge of them. They will be held
for murder under the laws of that
Territory. Black Crow aspired to
be Chief in the place of Spotted
Tail and organized q gang of ad-
herents. Crow Dog was his chief
assistant. The murder of Spotted
Tail was the result of regular
conspiracy to get him out of the
way and put Black Crow in his
place. Black Crow made no con-
cea ment of this, but boasted Of it.
Cook appointed White Thunder as
temporary Chief to succeed Spotted
Tail, and recommends that Spotted
Tails son be appointed by the In
terror Department to succeed his
father. The prompt arrest OF
the murderers broke up the con-
spiracy. All quiet at the Agency.
