DIR. Hamilton said tonight that he considered
the President better, and the patient had ex-
pressed himself during the day as feeling
better. While the instruments of precision
in determining the pulse and temperature,
Ds Hamilton said, placed the patient just
where he was yesterday. still if it were not
for these he would say the President

Monday last, he is. under the circumstances,
doing well. DR.. Hamilton thought the Pres
ident's temperature tonight stanGing-not
lower and not degree higher-and such be-
ing true, he felt perfectly satisfied with the
progress of the case. He was asked concern
ing the cut on DIR. Bliss fuger-whether
laudable puq, such as is discharged from the
Presidents wound, would cause pus poison
ing, and stated that it depended upon the
condition Of the person pricAed whether
poisoning would ensue DIR. Bliss was in a
weak condition from overwork, and therefore
more liable to be affected by pus incubation.

The killing of Spotted Tail-CrOw Dogs
Jealousy.
DEADwooD I'd. T), August 12th-Agent
Lsmar is just in fron Rosebud, and reports
that Spotted Tail was on his way to WASH
ington when he was murdered. He was in
an ambulance. accompanied by several other
chiefs, when Crow Dog rode up, and placing
a revolver against his breast, shot Kim dead.
Grow Dog Immediately fed to Fort Niobrara
for protection. He is not a Chief, but WIS
ambitious to become one. and for long
time has been engaged in fomenting discord
among the Indians. Spotted Tail was per-
mitted to visit the offices at the Agency at
pleasure, but the other Chiefs were not ac-
corded this privilege except when a general
council was held. This caused jealousy and
on the 4th of July Crow Dog called council
of his friends to test the feelings of the
Indians. Crow Dog made speech point
ing out that favors were shown to
Spotted Tail by the Government which
ought to be shown to all Indians alike, and
that if he were made chief things would be
different. Standing Elk spoke for peace and
harmony, and was followed by Spotted Tail,
who happened along. Spotted Tail de-
nounced Crow Dog as snake in the grass,
and called on him to come out like man.
Bearing his breast, he called on Crow Dog to
empty his revolver, and called him a squaw
and a coward. Crow Dog responded that he
was not ready to do that. but he would do it
when least expected. Spotted Tails three
sons tried unsuccessfully to get the old
man home, and guaraedlhim with their rihes.
Spotted Tail was not in the habit of carrying
firearms, and was unarmed when murdered.
He was SO years Of age. A Deputy Marshal
leaves here tomorrow to arrest the assassin.

the wholesale trade are somewhat numerous.
d. g. J. Sadlier & Co., publishers, have
succumbed, with liabilities estimated at
$50, 1000. They at one time had almost a
monopoly of the Catholic publishing trade in
this country. The business is now very
much cut up.
The assignment of G. l.. French, dry
goods, at Buffalo, while not very heavy in so
far as the liabilities are concerned, is yet
significant, from the fact that no less than
107 subscribers to the Mercantile Agency
were interested in him. His failure has been
anticipated for considerable time.
The suspension of the Boston Woolen
Company, just announced, with liabilities of
800, 600. is another Important case. No
