An eastern exchange says: Statistics
laid before the Congress of Brewers
which recently met at Versailles show
that there are in Europe about 10000
breweries, which produce annually near
ly 2,250. 100000 gallons of malt liquor.
Great Britain alone produces
a third of the entire guam.
tity, or TO be exact, 7S5,017, O02
gallons Prussia comes next with
31s,57o. 90S gallons; Austria, 245, 972, 15S
gallons; and France, 155, $50 600 gallons.
1t will thus be seen that the Teutonic
nations arc eminently the beer produc-
crs, as they are also the principal beer
drinkers; where wine is to be had near
ly rs chcaply as beer, the malt liquor Is
not preferred. The proportion in which
beer Is consumed varies much. Bavaria
heads the list with "a gallons per head
per annum, or rather over one gallon a
week. Belgium is next with 80 gallons,
and England is about the same, namely.
20 gallons, or roundly speaking, some
thing over half gallon per head per
wcek. In Germany, excluding Bavaria,
the average consumption is 10 gallons,
and from this a grcat-drop follows, TO 0

will take the earliest opportunity to re-

WASHINGTON, D. G., July 27.-All re-
ports from the Presidents room agree
that he is much better today and is i'm
proving The operation of yesterday in
enlarging the channel for the discharge
of pus appears TO have been successful.
The surgeons did not propose to make
known the fact of yesterdays operation,
but it was given out by DIR. Boynton.
This operation seems to have been nee
essary to attain free discharge, and cv-
erything is much more hopeful Indeed,
the countenances about the White House
indicate degree of hopefnlncss equal
to that felt before the relapse. The ex-
cellent sleep the President had last night
refreshed him great deal.
THE FAVORABLE SYMPTOMS CONTINUE.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Executive Man
sion, 2 p. m.-The favorable symptoms
noted in the last official bulletin still
continue. The President is free from
fever and resting quietly. DIR. Agnew

received with great satisfaction, although

Tested since The. first few days after the
shooting, although it is exhibited in 4
more quiet manner
During the early part OF the forenoon
rnnor was circulated on the streets
that DIR. Agnew had decided upoa and
was performing very critical operation.
In short time the story was greatly ex-
aggerated, some saying the bullet had
been found and taken out, leaving the
patient extremely weak, and it was
not thought he would rally. II Is be-
lieved the story was deliberately started
for the purpose eff affecting The stock

from this city by persons who had every
facility for obtaining the facts in the
case The excitement occaSIoned by the
rumor subsidized as suddenly as
1t started, being promptly denied
by those near the President: for instance,
Col Rockwell, who is in the Presidents
chamber almost constantly, said that
there was no truth in the report, and an
other operation had not been spoken of.
A gentleman who visited the Mansion
this evening, and who is an intimate
friend of the family, SAW Mrs. Garfield,
| who told him that her husbands condi-
ton was quite encouraging, and that he
was certainly better than yesterday, and
that he was resting comfortably About
the time the exciting rumOr was circu-
lating here, advicts from New York
were received by a number of govern
ment officials and others, that the cx
element in that city was intense, and

Gil1iilan received \ telegram from AS

house, stating that there WAS great eX
citement IN the streets, and that all sorts
of rumoTs were afloat, some OF which

but short time.
The Treasurer had just returned to hi
Office from the White House, when III
received a telegram and at once replied
stating that the Presidents condition 10
day was more favorable, and that gcneT
ally speaking, he was better. Informa
ton obtained from the surgeons, who
by the way, have become remarkably
reticent, docs not appear To warrant an

Lyon County Loses over Thirteen
Thouaand Dollars
We want TO call the attention OF our
Lyon county people and Our board Of
commissioners TO the important fact
that there is decline in the last month
OF sfr and fgs-eigkths cents on the dollar
in Missouri Pacific formerly NJ, X. &

quoted 1t from the New York Tribune at
5Isk. The same paper OF July 10Th
quotes it at 40. We feared this, and
therefore have earnestly expressed the
hope that action would be taken looking
to the sale Of the stock owned by the
county. The initiatory step fora vote OF
the people on this matter was
taken last April. and we
do not know whose fault
IL Is that the matter has been suffered 70
go by default. We fear the decline Il
permanent. and that the county has losI
the golden opportunity Ia dispose Of
this stock At good price. The county
has already lost 0Uer thirteen GsOHsdnC
dollars by the delay in this matter, and
the following paragraph from the Chi
cage Tribune furnishes pretty gOot
ground for the fear on the part Of mani
Of our people that there will lie q still
further decline. We quote: "The de-
cline in the ruling prices o. railrOa6
