Chicsgo, Aug l3.-The Times editorially
expresses the conviction that the time has
arrived when there should be change in
the presidents physicians. The bulletins
have SO long given cheering announcements
which have not been borne out by subse-
.quent events in the sick room, that the
people have become convinced there is not
only deception practised on the public, but
there is actual incompetency in the medical
attendants. The president has been grow
ing weaker under the treatment; his pulse
has been getting more frequent, and now he
is passing through the crisis with greatly
diminished strength. A change, if made at
once, may save him. The highest interests
of the country are concerned. and the en-
ergency is one upon which a cabinet council
should take prompt action.
Denver, Aug. l2..The Republicans Nc
Carly, N. NJ. special says: Couriers have
from here, with the intelligence that 1t.
Guilfoile arrived there last night. They
found two men dead and their WON en- car
ried off captives. Guilfoile had two fights
with the Indians very recently, and has cap
tured considerable stock besides routing
them.
London, Aug. l4-The Pail Mall Gazette
says the situation is serious, we might even
say dangerous, but it is difficult to credit
the peers with sufficient folly to persist in
preciptating constitutional crisis. If they
persist in their resolute hostility the whole
work of the session will be sacrificed. Ire
land will be convulsed with civil war and
agitation will be started in favor of a revis-
ion of the constitution, which will have
stronger consequences than they probably
imagine.
London, Aug. l3.-The political prospect
is seriously troubled Thelords' action ex.
cited surprise and incurred general condem-
nation. They rejected the commons amend
character of Lord Sailsbury's leadership is
what was predicted by most politicians on
his appointment. The commons treated
the lords amendments with reasonable con-
sideration. Their large majorities justified
the universal expectation that Salisbury
would content himself with verbal altera-
tions and yield to the popular chamber.
Yesterday the lords met at Salisburys house
and decided to stand resolutely by the
amendments. Last night they conceded
few insignificant points. but the bill stands
practically the same as when last sent to the
commons.
Nevada, Cal, Aug l4-This morning
fire was discovered issuing from large
crane building owned by L. c. Keith.
The entire building was destroyed. to-
gether with the residence of L. c. Keith,
chinese washhouse, large building known
as Temperance Hall, Thomas Mahar's res
idence and VIM. Barton's blacksmith shop
These people whose property was burned.
barely had time to get out with their lives,
saving only the clothes they wore The
loss will probably reach $4,000, on which
there is insurance of $1,000.
THE LATEST
Washington, Aug l6-The resume of
four bulletins is that the president has not
vomited since 3 a. m. At ii this morning
his pulse stoe d at 1876. They thorgit tn n
if the temperature went down and The pulse
kept up until ii p. m. it would be a sign of
death, The pulse has receeded IL degrees,
but the temperature has also gone down $40
degrees. The surgeons say nothing now,
but entertain little, if any hope. The fall
of temperature, though slight is regarded as
serious and foreboding worse results. 1t is
time the pulse had fallen some, but the tenn.
perature is below now. which is most dan
gerous symptom. The stomach still re-
fuses food and injections are only partially
successful, but life cannot long be sustained
so. All information shows the chance for
life very slim Surgeons don't give up the
case and that is all that can be said. Hope
is all that is left and not much left to base
hope on. Dependency now pervades the
white house.
New York, Aug. l6.-Ex-Senator Conk-
ling was seen this afternoon by reporter.
81 cannot tell you" said Mr. Conkling,
''what anxious hours l have passed since my
Washington dispatches yesterday. A re-
lapse at any time is dangerous, but at pres.
ent most of ALL The more | think of the
fearful tragedy the firmer am convinced
that the country is passing through a dam

that could happen to it,
The Posts Washington special says: DIR.
Bliss says the stomach is now resting. If
the strength of the patient can be sustained
by injection until the digestive organs recov-
er it is possible for him to get well. Of
course, if the stomach has given out, that
ends it.
A meeting Of the commission of the feder-
alton liberal associations to-day in reference
TO the action of the house of lords on the
land bill was very numerously attended.
Resolutions were passed declaring the
lords had mutilated the land bill in the in
terest of landowners so as to render it Who'll
ly unacceptable, and urging the government
to adhere firmly to the bill which finally left
the commons. It was also resolved that
the action of the lords raised a constitution
al question tending directly to compel the
country to consider the possibility of main
tanning system which will enable the irres-
ponsible chamber to defeat the will of the
nation.
London, Aug. l6.-In the house Of lords
this evening Lord Salisbury made a state
ment. After this the lords then agreed to
the amendments Of the commons.
Terrible fires have broken out almost SIM
ultaneously in Murcia, Cordeva, Huelva:
Seviela, Leon and CASTLE. Whole mountain
sides and thousands of acres have been laid
waste. It is feared several lives have been
lost. 1t is strongly suspected that these
disasters are due to political incendiaries..
If the guilty parties are caught they will
be treated as brigands and summarily dealt
with by court martial.
New York, Aug. l6. DIR. w. A. Ham
mond in an interview said the idea that the
president was suffering from dyspepsia is all
bosh. He is suffering simply from py@mia
ever since the recent chill. The vomiting
and irritation Of the stomach are caused SOLE
ly by the presence OF the bullet in his body,
and there is now no hope for the president,
and give him but three or four days to live.
