House last evening, before he had seen the
evening bulletin, said that he felt very much
discouraged He had seen the physicians
about noon, but was unable to obtain from
them anv assurance upon which he could base
a reasonable hope. :,
Much comment is caused by the journey OF
Captain Henry from Washington to Ohio.
It transpired that he had not gone Tor the
Presidents mother and boys, but that his
mission was to prepare them for possible
contingency, and to be ready to start with
them at moments notice should the worst
appear imminent.
very anxious to-day, and paid several visits
to the White House.
Secretary Window said He may not be
worse, but don't like these new complica-
tions. At one time it is dyspepsia, next it is
the plrotid gland swelling that causes trouble.
1t is always something, and each time the re-
suit is bad-still l am hopeful. | am in duty
bound to be hopeful, suppose. but L don't
like these complications"
Among other things that might cause the
Presidents death, some papers have contained
mention of tetanus, or lockjaw. A physician
was asked to day what he thought OF it. and
he said that the President would live through
out eternity if he never died until lockiaw
killed him. He did not think it possible
element of the case.
More Days of supense.
WAsH1NGrcN, August 22d-All the reports
from the sick room indicate that for two or
three days longer the present almost sta

A change may then be looked for, but whether
for better or worse the physicians cannot
now say, though they are inclined to be
hopeful.

Political Prospects In New York.
/ New YORK, August 22d.-The Tribune, on
| the political prospects in New York, says
This year the Republicans are going to be
more thoroughly and heartily united than
ever before. The controlling question with
them will be whether the course OF the Ad-
ministration shall be sustained. Whatever
differences there is among Republicans IS
with regard to the appointment of a single
worthy officer who did not meet favor in the
eyes Of Conkling. But neither Conkling nor
any of his friends can afford TO strengthen
and intensity the opposition TO them. 1t
NAV be presumed that they do not desire,
and Il is certain they will not dare, to make
war on the Republican party on account of a
single nomination. The anti-mono poly move
ment does not seem to represent anybody in q
/ political sense. 1t has no authority to mOve
| voters to new party or against either of the
! old parties. The extremely low rates for
/ freight which have bsen given by the rail
/ roads during the past two months have gone
! far to remove from the public mind much of

! concludes 1t will be very hard for the
| Democrats to obtain majority against the
Garfield party this fall"
An Excited Day on Change In Chicago.
CHICAGO, August 22d.-This was another
great day on Change. The fluctuations were
| rapid, and excitement was the ruling state of
the market. The more conservative dealers,
who have been drawing out of the various
deals, contented with their profits or fearing
to risk further losses, say there is no end to
the orders that come in from outsiders
Every body seems to be buying. and yet the
market broke heavily again to-day, opening
at low down figures and closing up pretty
strong. This was true of both produce and
provisions. The difference between the high
est price for September on Saturday and the
/ lowest price to-day was as follows Wheat AZ,
corn g. oats A. pork 20, lard % cents. The
afternoon call showed great activity, but no
! great change in prices but after the call the
curbstone brokers started senseless report
which found many gulls who credited it, that
| the President was dead. and they forthwith
| began to sell right and left, causing decline
of two cents. Of course this was not legiti-
msIe trading, and does not go out on the
record but it indicates how sensitive is the
market. and how sympathetic it is with the
news from Washington. The clique are be-
lieved by some to be ont Of the deal; by
others to be milking the market.
