not press his suit. Another man, negro
living in this city, had quarrel with his

he was walking laboriously along Sixth

CATTLE.

CHICAGO. Aug. 23.-The recently ap-
pointed Treasury Commission has just is
sued the following circular, addressed es-
pecially to the Governors of the States and
Territories west of the Allegheny
OFFICE OF L. S. TREASURY CATTLE CoaMIss'N, /
CHICAGO, August g.
Dear Sir The Treasury Cattle Commission, &p-
pointed by the Secretary of the Treasury pursu-
anee of act of the last Congress, deem it their
duty to call your attention to the immense danger
to which herds, in the States and Territories west
of the Alleghanies exposed from the traffic in
dairy calves, which is becoming a very common
one between these States now happily exempt from
contagious plenro pneumonia of cattle, and the in
fected districts. That a very large proportion OF
our country has, up to this time, remained exempt
from this dangerous malady, is owing chiefly to the
fact that the cattle traffic has hitherto
been mainly from the west towards the seaboards
but the business of purchasing calves from eastern
dairy districts and scattering them throughout the
western States and Territories, which has, within
year or two past, assumed such mammoth proper
tious, has augmented the danger to which the unin
fected districts exposed ten-fold and if it is
permitted to go unchecked. the danger of the
general infection of the present cattle growing and
grazing regions is imminent. We therefore call upon
you to use whatever influence you may legitimately
bring to bear upon the people of your State to dis
countenance and discourage traffic that is fraught
with such danger to their material interests.

DIR. BLISS

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Aug. 24.-Dr. Bliss
was quoted on the street as having told
friend last night that everything that could
be done by human beings had been resort
ed to by the attending surgeons to scatter
the swelling of the parotid gland, but. it
did not appear to yield and suppuratlou
seemed inevitable. The doctor thought
the discharge might be comparatively
light.

LAST MIGHT.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-Since half past
six, the president has slept most OF the
| time, quietly and naturally; and the slight
Improvement is still maintained. At this
hour, II p. M, DIR. Bliss reports the pulse
at 102 to 104, and the Temperature nearly
normal He is sleeping quietly; and the
symptoms are as favorable as at any time
during the day. He has swallowed eight
ounces of liquid food since 1 o'clock this
morning, and had two nutritive enemata.
He asked for milk cruel this evening, say
ing his stomach felt empty. The glandu-
lar swelling shows no signs of suppuration;
but the swelling surrounding the parts has
entirely subsidized.
The patient can open his mouth freely,
| and has been little troubled to-day by the
mucous and his throat. DIR. Bliss thinks,
on the whole, that there has been slight
gain to day; and the symptoms indicate a
farther improvement tomorrow. Most of
the Cabinet officers were at the mansion to-
| night, and all seemed more or less encour-
aged by the statements of the surgeons.
Attorney General McVeagh said, at 8
o'clock, the President seemed to be taking
nourishment well; and he felt somewhat
more hopeful Dr. Hamilton came to-
night.
1t is rumored tonight that q telegram
has been sent asking Arthurs presence in
Washington. The report was brought to
| the attention of Private Secretary Brown,
who says there is no foundation whatever
for the rumOr.
The following was sent tonight
To LooceH Minister, London:
The Presidents condition in more encouraging
than at this time last night In the last "a hours he
has swallowed Is ounces of extract of beef and Is
ounces of milk, retaining and dgesting both. He
has twice asked for food, which he has not done
before for several days Pulse and temperature are
somewhat lower The Parotid swelling is not per
| ceptiby changed. Its long continuance at the
present stage increases the fear of supperation AT

HIS CONDITION.

NEW YORK, Aug: 23.-A Posts Wash
ington special says there is very despon-
dent feeling here, notwithstanding the Of
fetal bulletin is somewhat better. This
despondency is directly attributable to the
midnight dispatches of Secretary Blaine.
The general feeling is that Blaine does not
put his name to dispatches which have not
been carefully considered, and of course
he has better opportunities to obtain au-
thentic information from the surgeons than
the newspapers have Blaine's dispatch is
a revelation to large majority of persons,
in that it, for the first time, gives them an
adequate conception of the extraordinary
weakness, exhaustion and emaciatlon OF
the PRESIDENT Those who have seen Gar
nela IN his health, can scarcely comprehend
that he now weighs but 125 pounds;
yet Blaines dispatch of the accuracy of
which there is no doubt, is confirmed by
the statements of those constantly about
the room, and the attendants, wholift him.
He is nothing but skin and bone" said
one of the attendants The increasing
anxiety at the White House, is illustrated
by the fact that Mrs. Garfield scarcelv
leaves the bedside for a moment, and has
discontinued her evening drives, but the
PRESIDENTS physicians certainly have, by no
means, given up hope.
Since that fateful Saturday, seven weeks
ago, he has slept feverish sleep, which is
all he has had to rest him. Since We'd
nesday night, his head has moved
slowly from side to side; and the once elo-
quent lips mutter unintelligibly Such a.
picture viii give to a public, dazed with
conflicting report, an idea of how low lies
the President.

about year ago, hired Ferdinand Jansen,

the work was in progress, Jausen had many
opportunities of seeing Mrs Lauter. They
became very intimate, and anonymous let

Jausen had been staying at a hotel at
Farmingdale, Coney Island, as husband and
wife
Recently Jausen called at Lauter's house
Lauter met him, and in the discussion that
followed. made some bitter remarks about
his wifes conduct. She heard them and
went to her room, soon returning with pen
and paper, and said to her husband: Now

to state on paper that you will sell me to
Jausen for one dollar Lauter agreed,
and now Jausen is living with his dollar

vorce. Mrs. Jausen also began suit for
divorce.

ing the last As hours, without the least
gastric disturbance, without increasing his
strength, the fact that he is showing un-
mistakable signs of growing exhaustion,
causes fear to be expressed that there is a
lack of ability to assimilate even such cas-
lily digested food that has been given.
That the president is noticeably weaker
than at any time during his Illness is ad-
mitted, even when his condition is COM
pared with that at the close of his sixty
hours starvation, on Friday last. When
awake, he lies still, scarcely turning to look
towards his attendants, unless it be neces-
sary to take something from them. Only
to his wife does he attempt to offer a
greeting; to all others he is indifferent
There is evidently an effort to keep his
consciousness. An attendant described
him as lying there, this morning, with his
knees drawn up and his right arm passed
over his head, lust as he lay on the stretch
er, when it was brought into the White
House.

OUTLINING A POLICY.

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 23-A bayfield, spe-
ciol gives an interview with Senator Beck,
of Kentucky, with reference to the course
the Democrats should take in case of the
death of President Garfield. Senator Beck
said, lit should be time when the love
of country should arise above all party
questions As to my own course, l would
be in favor of the election of some conser-
vative Republican, say Henry B. Anthony,
of Rhode Island, to the position of Presi-
dent pro tenn of the senate, and thus avoid
any inducement for any insane person OF
political fanatic to desire the death of Mr..
Arthur. In such contingency that would
be graceful recognition of the fact that
under the great calamity which has fallen
upon the nation, the intensity of party
spirit and eagerness for spoiIs were for the
time forgotten.
