FOREIGN FEARS.

THE LAND SLIDE AT ELM.
GENEVA, Sept 14-With reference to the
land slip near Elm on Sunday evening last
it is feared that the list of victims must in
clude forty men from neighboring villages
who came to aid when the first land slip
occurred, and before the village was over
whelmed by the second, which took place
at midnight. The river on which Elm is
situated is turned into lake, and it is
feared that the valley below win be flood
ed. As the place has been much frequent
ed by strangers this season, it is feared that
some have perished. A fresh land slip is
feared, and rescuers are obliged to proceed
with caution.

to-day was charming, and the President
made good progress. Reports throughout

in the next room. After about half an

said the President, mot at all; but

beat or so, and the temperature remained
the same as before.

in the sick-room about minute. At this
hour his favorable condition continues.

INTERVIEWS WITH BLISS.
Bliss said tonight that some persons
may differ, but his idea of convaIescence is
substantially that when the patient has
passed sufficiently through such dangerous
conditions as the President has, without
serious result, and afterwards repaired with
every indication of the repair Continuing
he called it convalescence. He emphatically
asserted that there are no evidences of
blood poisoning. IF he had pyamia and it
continued, he could not survive; but his
blood IS pure. The improvement is what
might be termed sensible improvement.
A very good proof of recovery is the fact
that the patients bowels moved in a per
1ectiy 1 natural manner yesterday and to-day
inns plainly shows that the food is prop
eriy assimilated. All the digestive organs
are perfect in their functions.

may be very questionable whether the
league ever needed such services, but we
refer now to the question of fact about

probably surprise some people to ascer-
tain that a portion of the money they
have been contributing to aid suffering
in Ireland has been going into MacCar-
thy's pocket as commission. This is the
way he has ''given" his services. When
in addition he falsely assumes to carry
the league in his pocket,to be sold out for
partisan purposes, it is about time to re-

very Jealous of the cause of Ireland in St.

thought he could use the nationality as a

THE REPUBLICAN BAcKDoWN.

The Republicans in the Senate have
made square backdown, and will pro-
ceed to the consideration of executive
business without electing Gorham and
Riddlsberger The firm attitude of the
Democrats has convinced them that it is
useless to prolong the attempt, and Presi-
dent Garfield has also pronounced him
self emphatically upon the subject. Mr..
Garfield IS reported to have been indig-
nant that the public business should be
delayed for the purpose of giving Office
to men whose candidacy could not be re-
garded otherwise than as personal in
suit to himself.
It has long been manifest that the Re-
publicans were heartily sick of their bar
gain. They gained control of the Sen
ate by the treachery of man elected as
o Democrat, and to reward him nomi-
mated one of his henchmen to the office
of sergeant-at-arms. To conciliate an.
other disturbing element in the party
Gorham was nominated, but his connec.
tlOu With LII az 0OioSJ duu OIuSI Ol Lie
star route thieves, and his persistent
abuse of the President through the col
umns of his paper, has convinced the
Senators that they Numbered in his nom.
nation as badly as they did in the nomi-
nation of Riddleberger. "The committee
Of safety" has therefore decided upon 8
square backdown as the only course left
to the party. Executive sessions will be
held, the Presidents nominations prop.
erly referred and considered, the Chinese
treaties brought up for action and the
present officers of the Senate permitted
to retain their place suntil the December
session of Congress. At that time it is
probable that a new deal will be had, and
an entirely new set of officers selected.
1t is certain that the President will not
eountenance the nomination of Mr. Cor
