The President

WASHINGTON, July 19.-The President
is doing well today. The doctors are
more careful as to the diet and do not
expect another rise of fever this even
ing. The apparatus for raising the Presi-
dent from his bed has been finished and
was tried this evening and worked well.
1t will be attached TO the Presidents bed
this evening.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. July 19.-The
President has passed n very comfortable
forenoon and afternoon. The increased
fever of last night was due evidently TO
too much food on the stomach. This
morning he was given lighter break
fast than has been the custom for the
past few days, The little rise in anxiety
which the symptoms last night induced
disappeared altogether this morning,
and everything was satisfactory. The
Presidents food to day has been mostly
of liquid character. DR.. Reyburn says
that the stomach having been little out
OF order, 1t was not thought best to give
the patient as much food rs has been all
ministered. The Presidents breakfast
was made on milk and beef Juice. A.
bout noon the President expressed a
desire to have cup of coffee and some
toast. This was prepared and he ate all
that was set before him: AT noon there
was no fever; on the contrary the tenn
perature, respiration and pulse were all
normal, and the patient comfortable and
doing very we'll indeed. At 2 O'Clock
this afternoon the Presidents pulse was
90, with respiration and temperature
normal. He slept more during the day,
and was comfortable and easy. His APP
petite continues good He would eat
more if it were given him.
At three O'Clock this afternoon the
Presidents condition was still very favor
| able. There was no sign of fever. The
wound discharged copiously to-day
The discharge continues to be healthy.
The President is none the worse to-day
for last nights fever.
There is closet In the private secre
tary's office. which has been converted
into curiosity shop. In it have been
deposited all the patent medicines,
salves and things. The closet looks
now as if somebody had thoroughly
mixed the contents of three apothecary
shops and let them stay mixed. All
kinds of bottles and boxes, with some
more complex alleged remedies, which
require little mechanism in their use,
are there.

Daring and Well-Planned Train Robbery
On the Rock Island and Pacific Road.
KANSAS City, Mo-, July 16.-Infor-
nation has been received here by the in
coming c., r. I. s. p. train of daring,
well-planned and successful tram rob-
berry which occurred at Winston, a
station on the Rock Island railroad short
distance east of Cameron. The rob-
bers, six in number, and supposed
to be under TIE leadership of Jesse
James, boarded the train which
leaves this city at 6 80 p. m. at Winston,
where the train stopped. They stood
up in the aisle of the car, with drawn
revolvers, and a man with heavy black
whiskers advanced with a revolver
in each hand to William Westfall,
the conductor, and ordered him to
hold up his hands. The Conductor
was slow in complying with the demand
and was shot through the heart by the
desperate. One of the other
men then shot John McMillen,
a stone-cutter, of Wilton Junction,
Iowa, who turned around in
his seat, through the head. The men
then went through the train to the ex-
press car and overpowered the U. s. Elk.
press messenger, Charles Murray, of this
city, who was intimldated into opening
the safe from which 5000 was
taken. The desperadoes then went to
the engine and told the engineer
to start his train. This he could
not do on account of the automatic
brake, and he was at once utilized
as a target by the robbers. The
engineers put out the lights in the cab,
and crawling along the foot board to the
pilot, extinguished the headlight and
lay down on the pilot. The robbers made
no search for him, but departed. No
attempt was made TO rob the passengers.
The populace about Winston rose up
en- mdsSc and armed men are now in
dustriously seeking the desperadoes.

An EngIish View Of II.

LONDON, July 15.-The Standard, in
an editorial says: The ROBBERY on a rail.
way train in America, an account OF
which was published to-day, although
by no means an uncommon occurrence,
happens to afford US reply TO Ameri
can structures upon ihe danger OF the
English plan of separate compartments.
The American plan seems specially
made to invite this kind or outrage.
With the English system such whole
sale raid is impossible. One carriage
alone could be robbed before the pas
sangers or officials could organize re-
sistance. AS there Is no example of any
such event in our railway history, we
may assume that the difficulty and dan
ger are so great as to deter even the most
daring criminal. The actual danger of
murder or robbery in far less on an
English line than on an American.
