The Piiystc ans and iIie Outlook.
LONG BRANCH, September 7th-Dr. Ham
ilton stated tonight that the exceedingly hot
day was somewhat unfavorabls to the prog
ress of the President as well as to his con-
fort. The evening bulletin was concise
and correct statement of the situation. To-
night the case had favorable outlook.
DIR. Bliss says tonight that the President
is better in more than one respect.
HAS there been any marked change p
was asked.
q do not pretend to say there has, yet"
When do YOU expect any marked change
for the better p
"Oh in the course of few days"
Have you any reason for expecting such
good result?'
1.-The indications are favorable The wound
and gland are both doing well, and the only
troublesome feature is the extreme weakness
of the President. This extremely hot
weather is no better for him than for you and
me. When we get sea breeze l expect
more favorable change The patient is com
Portable tonight, with no unfayorabie symp-
toms whatever"
DIR. Barnes expressed the opinion that not
withstanding the extreme heat, on the whole
the President is better off here than ne would
be in Washington
Woodward said he thought probable that
the President would be better than he is il
the weather was cooler. He did not wish to
be understood as saying that he was dissatis-
fed with the progress made to night, however.
Late tonight Reyburn said in substance
that while the President has not gair ed
great deal Of ground to-day, he had certainly
held his own, and had entirely recovered
from the effects of the journey. There was
no reason for believing that the journey liz
jured him in any manner whatever, and to-
nights fever was attributable to the usual
febrile rise and the almost unbesrable heat
of the day. Whils the President did not ex-
actly suffer from the heat, he kept looking
out on the ocean, as il patiently awaiting
cooler breezes. If col weather should setin,
the improvement viii, in all probability. be
most rapid and the case more encouraging
generally. No improvement will naturally
occur until the patient becomes thoroughly
acclimated.

full meeting to-day and adopted the follow.
ing unanimously:
Resolued, That the peoples right to be represent
ed in the executive office of the United States by
Chief Magistrate OF their own choice has now again
been imperiled. This right of the people in the
representative republic Is the fundamental prin-
cple Of self-goyernment, whether this right be i'm
periled, in 1876, by conspiracy OF force and
fraud among office-holders Of the party in power
aiming to nullify the peoples verdict, or as now by
the bullet OF an assassin, Whatever his motive that
peril should awaken in every patriotic heart not
only the respectful sympathy of freemen with the
victim of such an a,rocty, but also that patriotic
vigilance which is the last maintaining safeguard Of
civil liberty.
ResoLUed, That the members OF the Democratic
State Committee, at the first meeting since the at

Terrible State of AEairss in Michigan
Immense Damage by Field Fires.
EAST SAGINAW. September 7tb.-Reports
OF ravages from the fire continue to come in.
Along the Saginaw Valley and the st. Louis
Road twentY-one miles of country have been
burned on both sides of the track, and thirty
or forty buildings, including household goods,
grain and stock.
In Tuscola county the damage is to the ex-
tent Of $4,000, and the fires are still sweep
ing over a large area.
Owing to the excitement it is difficult to
arrive at the amount of the losses in this
county east of this city. Great damage is
done, hundreds of acres having been burned
over and many buildings destroyed.
The village of Clio narrowly escaped de-
struction to-day, and is not yet out of danger.
The Indian settlement, seven miles below
this city, is surrounded by fire, and will prob
ably be wiped out before tomorrow night.
In Tuscola county, back from Lake Huron
and south of Saginaw, the fires are also rag
ing, but with not so great severity. Still, the
losses here are simply overshadowed by a
more terrible state of things in the adjoining
counties. The same facts are true in Lapier
county. next south of Tuscola The whole
country around Saginaw and Bay City is
ablsze, from the marshes taking fire, and re-
ports of many losses to the farmers are begin
ming to reach US.
The weather continues excessively hot
There are no signs of rain. Where the pres
ent fearful condition of things will end, no.
body can foretell.
Reports are beginning to arrive from the
northern and northeastern part Of the State
showing a terrible condition of affairs. The
long con inued drought has rendered every
thing dry as finder, and numerous slashings,
or partly cleared tracts of land covered with
brush, decayed timber and other imhamma
bic materials, afford the best possible medium
If rapid spread of the flames, carried by
high winds, which have been prevailing.
Saniac and Huron counties, lying on the
shore of Lake Huron, between Port Huron
and Saginaw Bay, are the theater of the most
destruction. which is growing positively APP
Railing in character. Hundreds of farms are

crops. fences and all farm buildings are swept
away, and absolutely nothing is left Several
lives are known to be lost. Men, women and
children, oyertaken by the flames, were suffo-
Gated by the sitting heat. 1t is feared that
when the full accounts are received the losses
may prove terrible.
The little hamlets of Anderson, Richmond
vile and Charleston, in Sanilac county, are
all reported wiped ont. while Port Hope,
Verona Mills and Badax, In Huron county,
are reported wholly or partly burned up.
The people are fiocking to the shore of Lake
Huron from the interior of these counties as
the only refuge from the flamee. They are
sometimes overtaken by the spreading fire.
Not less than twenty deaths are reported.
but it is hoped that some of these statements
may yet prove incorrect.
