CONSULTING PHYSICIANS SENT FOR.
Washington, Executive Mansion, July
%. l 80 p. m.-The presidents symptoms
at this hour are little more favorable
than at the date of the last unofficial bull
letin, but his condition has not material
ly changed. The attending surgeons
have just telegraphed Drs. Hamilton and
Agnew to come to Washington at once
for consultation.
MORE FAVORABLE REPORT.
Executive Mansion, Washington, July
%, 2:20 p. m.-Secretaries James. Kirk
wood and Hart have this moment come
from consultation with the attending
surgeons, and request the statement to
be made on their authority that the
presidents pulse and temperature are
falling, and that his general condition is
improving. DIR. Bliss authorizes Geni-
nj of the truth of the reported interview
with him to-day in which he is said to
have stated that an abcess had formed
and that second chill had occurred.
He has made no such statement.
UNOFFICIAL BULLETIN.
Washington, Executive Mansion, July
%, II 80 a. m.-Dr. Boynton. who just
came from the presidents chamber, at.
tributes the sudden rise in the presi.
dents pulse and temperature to some
obstruction in the way of the free dis
charge of the pus from the wound
Symptoms Of granulation were noticed
yesterday, and it is possible that this
healing process, going on at some point
comparatively nenr the external surface
of the body, has damned up q quantit,
of pus in the deeper part of the wounc
and that the chill and increased feve
are to be thus accounted for. The dis
charge this morning, although perfectl,
normal and healthy in its character, wa
unusually scanty, which would seem Il
indicate that the flow has been in SOM
way impeded or interrupted. The chill
mentioned in the official bulletin com
mcnced about o'clock and lasted til
| 8, being quite severe, the pulse running
up at one tina to 13O. At this hour til
fever is said to be gradually disappear
ing and the patients condition is cor
sidered better than when the bulleti
was issued.

A Chicago telegram of the 21st gives
the shape of the market. Deals on
change are getting into very unusual
shape. Cash and nearer options are
cornered in the corn, oats and lard deal,
while there is pretty we'll grounded
suspicion that the deals of wheat and
pork have much more far-reaching corn
ers and involve much heavier invest
ments, although they have attracted less
attention. Fowler Bros. are the osten-
sible heads Of the latter corner, and Gin
cinnati parties are credited as being
manipulators of the wheat and corn
deals. Armour is also spoken of as one
of the chief factors in the almost univer-
sal corner. The real facts cannot of
course be known at present, but un-
doubtedly many and strong hands are
engaged in lifting prices, either III con-
cert and by prearranged plan, or acci-
dentally. Oats are notably strong, cash
and July selling ut 441ll cents; August
sells at 3115 cents. Lard for cash is
$12.1O, while August lard is $11.9O and
September $11.5O, an abnormal state Of
things.

uNFAvoRAD1E SYMPTOMS.

Washington, July 24.-At z O'Clock
this morning the president showed the
usual symptoms of recovery, but about
3 o'clock lie was attacked with some-
thing like chill. He shook all oyer,
and his muscles all became rigid, with
what surgeons called a rigor. This chilly,
shaking sensation lasted till about nine
o'clock. when fever set in and rose rap
idly. His pulse went up to 13O and tenn
perature above 1O1 in an hour The
fever declined some at p. m. The doc
tors are not yet able to define the cause
OF the change. The flow of pus from
the wound stopped this morning, and the
surgeons say this may have caused the
change in the presidents condition. A
longer drainage tube was substituted
and the doctors pressed on the stomach
and bowels, but little pus exuded.
Whether this means that the wound is
healing between where the ball is and
the mouth of the wound, or that an
abcess is forming is not yet known. DIR.
Bliss said that just now he could not tell
the cause of the change. The surgeons
felt somewhat uneasy.

The slight fever which made its appear.
ance between eight and ten o'clock last

febrile was due to local and temporary
causes rather than to any general unfa
vorable change in the presidents condi
ton. He is as we'll now as at the same
hour yesterday morning; and this, taken
into consideration with the fact that he
did not sleep so we'll rs on the previous
night, seems to indicate change in hi.

There will be no retirement of officers
in charge of bureaus this summer. yThe
reasons are that the positions of quarter
master general, paymaster general and
similar places are filled by selection and
not by promotion. The men who will be
offered the appointments now fill posi-
tions that they would have to vacate, and
ther the senate might not confirm them,
and they would be out entirely. In Or
der to obviate this difficulty, the heads
of bureaus eligible for retirement will
not be disturbed until congress meets,
so that whoever is appointed will be GER
tain Of new place before he gives up
the old.

Montgomery Health, Crops, Etc.


MONTGOMERY, La, jury 10, 1901.
Editor Chronicle:
Thinking perhaps a short letter
from this section, in regard to health,
crops, ETC., would be of some interest
to the readers of your paper, will
give you some items in that line.
Health is generally good throughout
the country, considering the excessive
hot weather and long continued
drouth, which has lasted for nearly
six weeks, and it being so wet previ
ously that the dronth has nearly kill
ed vegetation. / hear some farmers
say they will not make five bushels
of corn to the acre, and if it does not
rain very soon some of them will not
make any. One farmer has cut his
corn down, stalks and all, and cured
it for fodder. 1t is to be hoped that
it will rain before the cotton crop is
injured very much. But, notwith-
standing the depressed spirits of the
farmers, the young people of Mont
gomery seems to enjoy themselves
exceedingly well, going 10 picnics,
shows, etc. There is picnic some
where in the community every week.
Messrs Stewart and Ryan, two pho
tographers, assisted by several young
men of our town, gave very nice
entertainment, by way of celebrating
the 4th, which was well attended
The gentlemen named proved them
selves to be well posted in the show
business. Mr.. Ryan is an excellent
dancer, and amused the crowd very
much by his witty remarks. After
the show was over the young people
repaired to the residence of Mr.. j. H
Williams and ended the performance
by a nice dance. Mr.. Ryan attend
ed the party, but did not join in tht
dance, either not feeling very vel
from dancing so much at the show
or no one there being we'll enough
acquainted with him, to give him al
introduction to the ladies. 1t nigh
have been that the young men dit
not want him to dance, for, MIR. Edi
tor, you know it makes young NAL
feel bad for another young man t
exceed him in any thing before th,
ladies. Respectfully, OBSERVER.

Apleasant little dance was enjoyed
by the young folks at the residence
of Mr.. H. Mcknight last Tuesday
night. 1t has been remarked to us
that the most agreeable feature OF
the occasion was there was no whis-
ky drinking or boisterous conduct
among the young men. We think il
high time for the boys to let up when
their own friends are led to such
comment. It is said that several ol
our citizens have refused to allow
parties to be held at their houses, as
they are afraid of some unpleasant
occurrence. Better leave the whisk,
bottle alone, boys,if you want to have
parties at your neighbors' houses.
