WEDNESDAY, JULY 18th.
To-day has been looked forward to with
some anxiety, for it was said that the danger
of secondary hemorrhage or ,of peritonitis
would probably end at the expiration Of the pc
Rod now elapsed. The patient was therefore
watched with more than ordinary scrutiny, and
his condition. tonight gives his friends cause
for increased hope of his recovery
Secretary Blaine said in conversation that the
bulletins colld be taken in perfect confidence,
and that the presidents recovery might be con-

perfect confidence in the presidents recovery.
The official bulletin of the surgeons, says:
His gradual progress toward recovery is mani

THURSDAY, JULY Ii.
The best day since the wound His regular
afternoon fever was lighter than ever before.
He perspired freely during the day. and that
fact is another evidence that the fever is
breaking. The president has taken more solid
food than in any corresponding number of
hours heretofore, and has eaten it with relish.
He has suffered no pain when moved or in
dressing his wound, and continues bright and
cheerful Being asked whether any seriously
unfavorabe symptoms are likely to appear now
that the crisis has passed, DR.. Reyburn said !:
l should not like to promise an uninterrupted
and unvarying course of Improvement, but at
the same time may say there is at present
every prospect Of the presidents recovery.
FRIDAY, JULY 15.
The attending physicians practically admit
that the president is out of danger, and that if
no unfavorable development takes place he
will soon have recovered sufficiently to trans
act the necessary executive business, in 80 far

duty is concerned.

President Unadbourne ON Malaria.

President Chadbourne, of Williams Col
lege, is an expert i'll chemistry, especially
in its relation to health. Malaria has lately
appeared in western Massachusetts, and its
cause has been attributed TO the mill ponds,
reservoirs, and drains of manufacturing in
dustries. One company was indicted for
maintaining nuisance in the form of q
sewer which polluted river. DR. Chad
bourne was asked to throw all the light
possible on the subject" He says in reply
that he used to teach without misgiving that
the malarial poison producing intermittent
fever was the result Of vegetable decompo-
sition, especially the decomposition caused
by stirring soils rich in organic materials and
exposing them to heat and moisture. He
now thinks he was wrong, and that very
little is known on the subject. 4Wedo not
know, he frankly admits whether miasm
is an inorganic gas, the yapor of organic
compounds, or cryptogamic organisms. Nor

TEE NATIONAL DEBT

How 1t is Distributed Throughout The
Csuntry-Not.a Popular Loan.
Washington dispatch to N Y Tribune.
Robert P. Porter, Of Chicago, special
agent of the census, in conversation with q
Tribune correspondent gives full details as
to the ownership of United States bonds.
How are the registered bonds distribut.
ed?" asked the correspondent.
In the absence Of exact figures, I should
say that the New England states about IL
per cent. of them, the middle states about
43 per cent, the southern states trifie
over per eeRt. and the western states near
~ 8 liz per cent, while the banks, insur
ance companies and other corporations own
about 35 Ia per cent"
"How does the number of bondholders
compared with the amounts held in various
parts of the country"
1t differs considerably in different To-
calities. For example. we find that in New
York state, although the amount of regis
tered bonds owned there is nearly $780,
100000 out of some $3.50 1000 included in
this investigation, there are less than 49,
600 holders. On the other hand, Massa-
chusetts, with nearly $40, 600, 900 of bonds,
has nearly II, 900 holders"
DO you consider the ebt of the United
States popular Loan
So far as this investigation shows I
must say do not. In my opinion the
debt is owned by 100000 persons; over
thirty-fve per cent. is held by the banks
and other corporations and it is probable
that $500 persons own over $40, O0O, goo
of the registered bonds. This aggregate is
held in amounts exceeding S59, 0OO On
inquiry into the number Of holders who
own ~.
BONDS IN AMOUNTS OF LESS THAN $500.
we find that probably $4,000 persons own
in the aggregate not more than $1,000, 900,
an amount for every $4,000 persons which
be held by single bondholder. 1t must
be remembered that many banks hold con-
siderable sums in small amounts in trust
for the people. Therefore the 100, 900
do not fairly represent the bondholders of
the country"
How will you ascertain the distribution
of the coupon bonds?"
1T will be impossible to do this exactly.
have just returned from New York, where
made arrangements which l think
will prove successful. OF the $519, 796, 900
coupon bonds outstanding last August,
probably the coupons of $500, 600, 900 were
returned for payment to the sub treasury
in New York, and twenty of the leading
banking firms presented not less than three-
fourths of them. This Office having ascsr-
tanned the exact amount of the different
species of bonds presented by these firms.
we shall by their cooperation be able to
ascertain the respective amounts forwarded
to them from their correspondents abroad,
the amounts of domestic holders, and also
in some cases the distribution in parts of
our own country. We can, however, in the
event of failure to ascertain the home dis
ribution, base the calculation on the known
distribution of the registered bonds and
it is not probable that the coupon bonds
will differ greatly from the registered,
excepting that we may expect to find ten or
fifteen per cent. more. proportionately, in
the larger cities of the country"

NEW ULM'S WOE.


ST. PETER, July 16.-Last evening the city
OF New Ulm was visited by one Of the most
disastrous cyclones ever known in this coun-
try The first place any effects of the storm
were seen was about three miles
west of New Ulm on the line
of the Winona 4 ST. Peter road.
Here it tore down house and killed number
of cattle and horses The family saved them
selves by going to the cellar before the storm
struck. From where the storm struck the
railroad track, the ground is lined with bed
ding and furniture, wagon wheels, farm
machinery, etc. Tie wind west of
New Ulm tore down the telegraph poles The
crops are simply ruined. The heads of wheat
we're cut OF as clean and smooth as though
done with heading machine From the
place where the storm first struck into New
Ulm everything was swept for width of about
one mile. The sight is
s1CKENING IN THE EXTREME,
Trees were torn up by the roots and carried
no one knows where. and not house or barn
is left standing in the line of the storm from
where it first struck until it reached New Ulm
A gentleman who stood on the bluff two miles
north of New Ulm and witnessed the cyclone
saysit was the grandest yet most terrible sight
he ever witnessed. He says one cloud came
from the northwest and one from the north
east When they met itappeared to him to be
contest as to which should have the right of
way. The storm struck New Ulm at 4:49 and
lasted just twelve minutes, and in that brief
time not less than $500, 900 worth of property
was destroyed and number of persons killed
and many wounded During the storm there

FATAL CASUALTIES.

A Furious Tornado in Swift County. Minnesc-
ia Destroyes Several Lives and Numerous
Farm Buildings.
On Monday last there was terrific tornado
in Swift county, which left a track of ruin in
it's narrow course.
The first house in the track of the tempest
was that of Wesley Havener who lives on the
west bank of the Pomme de Terre river, in
Meyer. 1t tore down over the hill west of him
and leveling the trees around his house, pros
trated it in an instant, throwing himself and
family out of doors and leaving them bruised,
drenched, houseless and bereft of everything
except the clothing on their bodies. They have

Double Murder in wisconsin
On Monday, at Durand, Wisconsin, Milton
A. Coleman, under sheriff of the county, and
his brother, Charles Coleman, ex-sherif of
Pepin county, were shot and killed
by two notorious desperadoes known
as the Williams brothers. Milton A.
Coleman was returning to Menomonee from
Wabasha with the thief who burglarized Taft's
jeWelry store, June 80, and upon his arrival at
Durand he was informed that the Williams
brothers, who were wanted in Henderson
county, ILL.,, for horse stealing, were in town.
Placing his prisoner in jail, ACCOMPANIED by
his brother, he at once started to effect their
arrest. Meeting the desperadoes on the street,
he stepped up to them and SAID, you're my
when he received fatal shot from the rifle Of
one of the tends through the neck and was in
stantly killed. At the same instant Charles
Coleman received shet through the body and
lived only long enough to fire two shots, but
without effect. A posse of thirty men started
to scour the country for the murderers and the
governor has offered $500 for their capture.
The desperadoas are armed with rifles and re-.
