San Francisco. July 3-DurinR the
day dispatches have been coming in
from the interior regarding the effect
the recent tragedy at Washington will
have on the programme of to-morrow's
festivities. In many of the principal
towns the celebration, in case of fatal
result, will be changed to funeral cere-
monies. In many others the question of
q parade or no parade is still hanging on
the issue of the presidents wound.
while in number of instances no
change will be made in the programme.
The dispatches voice the regret and
horror felt throughout the Pacific coast
at the attempted assassination.
Columbus, July 3.-It has been an.
nounced, officially, that devotional exer-
cises for the recovery of president Gar
field will be held in all the churches to-
morrow, and that mass meeting will

Washington, July 3.@Secretary
Blaine, at a late hour tonight, received
the following dispatch:
Providence, r. l., July 8, 1870 D. m.
Hon. James g. Blaine, Secretary of
State: Rhode Island feels very keenly
the blow at President Garfield. Ought
not festive celebrations tomorrow be
discouraged?
Gov. Little6eld joins me in the in
quiry.
lSigned) HENRY B. ANTHONY.
To this dispatch Secretary Blaine sent
the following reply:
Your thoughtful dispatch is received
at midnight. Gov. Foster of Ohio had
already suggested services in all the
churches tomorrow instead of the
patriotic festivities usually appropriate
to the day. The very critical condition
of the president would seem to indicate
the propriety of this course. I am sure
it would be acceptable to the people of
all religious denominations.
Providence, R. L, July 3.-Governor
Littlefeld prepared Q proclamation when
the presidents condition was reported
hopeless, recommending the people to
refrain from festive celebrations of the
4th, and close their places of business

the day, dependent, of course, on the
continuance of favorable symptoms in
the presidents condition.
