 Capital.
 WASHINGTON, July 14.-It is annouriced that the prosecution in the Star route cases have prepared sufficient evidence upon which to secure an indictment against four or five of the most prominent in the alleged frauds. The postofice officials say that their evidence is not only of g character to indict the conspirators, but it is ample to secure their conviction as well The delay in preparing evidence was due to a desire on the part of the government to do no injustice to parties accused Indictments would not have been asked for had not the evidence been deemed ample to convict them.

 ON THE DIREcr ROAD TO RECOVERY.
 This has been better day for the Presi- dent even than yesterday. He has rested better, the symptoms have shown more marked improvement and his personal ap- pearance has much improved. He has slept twelve hours out of the last twenty four and is consequently greatly refreshed. The gain of strength in his legs and arms is particularly noticeable this evening. The doctors are more cheerful than ever, and the Cabinet officers retired at their usual hour from the White House with increased confidence. Dr. Reyburn said at 10 o'clock tonight that the President was gaining ev- cry hour, slowly but surely. Dr. Barnes said the case was progressing charm ingly. Dr. Woodward pointed with satisfaction to the evening bulletin and Dr. Bliss added the temperature fell half degree since p. m. The venti- lat1ng apparatus continues to work nicely and the sick room is probably the most comforta- ble spot in Washington. The patient is making the best of it. At half past ten he was sleeping again and all the indications were favorable to good nights rest. The doctors now agree that the President is on the direct road to recovery and that only &C., cidents will delay him.

 WASHINGTON, July 14.-There was marked change in the scene about the Exeeu- tive Mansion this morning as compared with that which has prevailed continuously since the President was wounded. Bright expres- sions have taken the place of mournful ones, and the encouraging statements made by the attending physicians relative to the ultimate recovery of the President have the effect of relieving the terrible anxiety which has been prevalent for nearly fortnight. Hereto fore the attaches of the White House, as well as those who were there on business in con nection with the Presidents illness and those calling to smake personal inquiries, might have been observed in groups conversing in monotones, while to-day the sadness occa- stoned by the attempted assassination, and the fears which have been entertained that recovery was doubtful have given place to Or1SA1 AOP0s, dAu Lu0 Seu6ru uFlIG OI coufeE- sation is more cheery and pleasant, indica- ting the great satisfaction which prevails. Especially was this noticeable in the expres- sion of members of the Cabinet leaving the White House this morning, each of whom made pleasing and satisfactory replies to all interrogatories regarding the President con dition. The day was bright and pleasant with a very refreshing breeze, the result of a heavy shower which occurred last night. The guards are still kept about the White House grounds on patrol duty, and will probably be continued until the President is able to be about. The first official bulletin made it's appearance at s:3O, bringing the following cheering news: !

 Gladstone DenOunces the Irish Members.
 LONDON, July 15.-A most extraordinary scene occurred in the House of Commons last night. MT. Gladstone, irritated at the conduct of the Irish members in obstructing the emigration clause in the land bill, made an unusually strong speech of impassioned eloquence hitherto unequalled for warmth and dignity. He spoke of his own patience at the insulting obstruction to the bill by a handful of Irish members who were daily de- creasing in number. He said they degraded the noble assembly, the most famous in his toric traditions, and that their tactics were most disreputable and were prohibiting leg islation. MT. Gladstone's speech produced 8 most tremendous effect and he was cheered wildly. In the debate which followed severa of the Home Rulers narrowly escaped sus- pension.
 Gladstone's protest is much approved of by the press. The emigration clause in the land bill was passed by the House of Com mons this morning after very fierce debate.
