PAPER MAKERS.
Annual Meeting of the Association at
Saratoga.

Annual Meeting Of the Association at
Saratoga.
SARATOGA, July 27.-The American Paper
Makers Association held their annual meet
ing here to-day. Among the members present
were Hon. Warner Miller, United States Sem
ator, and Hon. George West, Member of Con-
gress from Saratoga district. President Wei
lington Smith, of Lee, Mass, spoke of the
healthy condition of the paper trade at this
time and the benefits brought about by the
tariff which causes healthy competition
among the manufacturers of this country. He
presented a specimen of paper which was sold
up to the utmost production in 1872 at 103
cents per pound and the same quality would
not now sell for 81, being so poor, and this
was owing entirely to home competition, i'm
proving the quality and lowering the price.
G. G. Woolforth, from the committee on ex-
port business, reported 307 manufacturers had
offered 800 tons for export without limit as to
price. The increase of the export of paper in
1880 over 1879 had been 800 tons. He rec
ommende government subsidies to steamship
lines
Hon. Warner Miller addressed the associa-
ton. Regarding the increase of business, he
said the output of mills during the past year
had been fully 20 per cent. over the year be-
fore, and paper is sold in New York as low
for the quality as in London. Regarding the
tariff, he said while the average of duties on
all articles imported is 45 per cent. paper only
has protection of 20 per cent. on ordinary
qualities and 50 per cent. on fine. He an
nounced himself as in favor of aiding the es-
tablishment of steamship lines to South
America so that American manufacturers can
send goods there other than by the way of
London. He thought it would be as wen LOT
tha qpyernment to nay for nrempt and perfect
mail lines to foreign ports as Tor star routes in
western Territories. In Germany few years
since he found mill running on peculiar
kind of paper for Brazil He found on his re-
turn he could make that paper cheaper than
the German could, but he could not put it
down in Brazil as cheap as the German did
solely because the only steamship lines to
Brazil are from Europe. He believed Ameri-
can manufacturers should be given facilities
to secure the trade of this continent, and he
should do what he could to secure that end.
The following officers were elected: Presi-
dent, Wellington Smith of Lee; Vice Presi-
dents, o. Fl. Greenleaf of Springfield, W. 81.
Chatfeld of Cincinnati; Secretary, Charles o.
Chaplin of Springfield; Treasurer, George w.
Wheelwright of Boston.

He Thinks the Chances in the Presidents
Favor.
NEW YORK, July 27.-The only information
which DIR. Frank FL. Hamilton has received
since yesterday from the White House was
contained in dispatch from DR.. Agnew an
nouncing the extraction of splinters of bone
and saying the President was comfortable and
the splinters of bones was what I referred to
yesterday" said DIR. HI. this forenoon "We
knew some days ago that such splinters exist
ed and would come out in course of time. As
they do so the irritation will subside and the
mouth of the wound be enlarged, and thus al
low more room for the introduction of larger
disinfecting probes and free egress of pus. The
more thoroughly we can get at the wound the
better are our facilities for keeping it open and
clean. l am having some new probes made
by Fiemann, which may be found to fit the
Presidents wound better than those we have,
but can't tell as to that until they are tried.
They may be found to be useless. Perfect
drainage in this case is of great importance.
Ii we had drainage tube running out at the
bottom OF the wound as we'll as at the top the
President could snap his fingers at the doctors
and get well and suit himself. The fact that
the ball lies in an out-of-the-way place, hard
to reach and where an abscess of some sort now
probably exists, is what is likely to make the
case tedious one. Nature must get the ball
out and nature may be trusted to do a good
uSoi' AhO - ACciuOAo having SOJ 50 lar On
the way to recovery, having passed the danger
OF the shock hemorrhage, peritonitis
and exhaustion we have every reason to hope
he will not break down now that suppuration
and possible danger of pyamia are to be fought
against The talk about the chills of Friday
being unmistakable signs of pyamia was ali
wrong. have seen hundreds of pyamic pa
tients and their appearance is not to be mis-
taken. Their breath is also sweet like mo-
lasses. There is nothing of the kind about the
President and none of the pallor and none of
the apathy to be noticed in pyamia. ANY
acute irritation is likely to cause chilis The
pressure of the pus irritates the body, and
chills come on. am pretty sure, although 1
have never tried it, that I could produce
chill in sick man by persistently pricking
any one of the sensitive nerves around the
eye-ball for half an hour with needle. You
know that have never been over sanguine in
this matter and have said all along that the
President was a sick man. Well it is nv can
did opinion now that the chances of recovery
are in his favor"
DR.. Hamilton said that when he left the
President he said to Surgeon General Barnes,
HE is going to get well. He doesn't look like
a man that is going to de-" and the Surgeon
General replied emphatically, "No."
