SECOND DISPATCH.l
WASHINGTON, August 7th.-The day at the
Executive Mansion has probably been the
uuietest since the President was wounded.
There was some comment about the city re-
garding the information contained in the
morning bulletin, the language of which was
that the President was in good condition, al
though the effects of febrile disturbance of
yesterday were still slightly perceptible in
pulse and temperature. This was construed
by many as indicative of unfavorable symp-
toms, but the general public accepted it as
reassuring, consequently there were few in
quires at the Executive Mansion. The fact
thai fever existed at 1890 was not gen.
orally known, inasmuch as there was
no bulletin issued, the information
being privately obtained from the
attending surgeons, who, while admitting
that the fever has continued all day, as is
shown by the evening bulletin, do not appear
to desire to converse more than is necessary
on the subject, thereby leaving the public to
form its own conclusion as to the cause of the
continued high pulse and temperature. 1t is

rect location has not been ascertained. Pro-
fessor Bsll being absent from the city, his
sssisiaIi, MIR. Tain.or, was called to the man.
sion late This afternoon to consult with the
surgeons regarding the use of the electric
probe, and he was requested to bring two
cells battery to the mansion tomorrow morn
ing. Should it be determined to use the in
strument at this time it will probably be for
the purpose of aseertainisg the exact course
of the wound from the surface of the body to
the spot where the ball is lodged, and if pos
sible discover whether there is a pus cavity,
and, if so, its exact location. The electric
probe is flexible tube about II or Ia inches
long, through which fine flexible wire runs.
The Irish Convention at Chicago.
CHICAGO, August 7th.-The Convention of
Irishmen was somewhat delayed to-day by
reasons which are varieusly given. One &C.
count says there was disturbance as to the
custody OF the 500, 900 skirmishing fund
Another report, and one well authenticated,
is that the Convention will not adjourn be-
fore Wednesday, owing to charges made by
the well. known J. Curran Keegan, who al
ieges that he knew West in Ireland and that
he was detective connected with the Irish
constabulary, and was once discharged from
this position that Vests father and brother

work of ferretipg out the slayer of
Lord Leitrim. KeeGan's statements are
denied and branded as unreliable by most if
not all the delegates.

forward denial TO Keegan's story. He says
he was born in America, and never had been
out of it. Rhode Island is his native State.

dral, and has been a constant and active par
tisan of the Irish cause from boyhood. His
fidelity to ireland was never before ques-
toned. He Gays Keegan's motive in this
attack is to gain notoriety. 1t was decided
by some of the prominent members to-
day that extra precautions would be taken to-
morrow as to the character of those admitted
into the Convention, and that everybody
should show his credentials and lay bare his
history in tie Irish cause Some members
favor action looking toward cessation of
active attacks against England, and favor
going down among the people aud using the
skirmishing fund to induce the United Irish
men of Great Britain and Ireland to come
into that Union on equal terrns. The Wolfe
Tone Circle, the only Fenian Brotherhood
in the West, and one outspoken for war with
England, sent delegates.
