CHICAGO Aug. 29.-There was great excitement
on 'changc to-day over the cry OF hot wheat,
raised by the sports. 1t was, however, found
to contain more than most rumors started
of appeals of the board of trade. and special COM
mittee at once set about examining the city ele
vator. where tho heated grain was said to be.
They examined twenty eight bins. finding one
of them containing 5000 bushels out of condition.
1t was cleared out and the wheat was taken to the
president of the board, who, for some I'M
known reason. withheld the report.
The Investigation will proceed to-nor-
row, and co '9n nH, until the entire wheat

about the large amount on hand, especially some

the carly morning bulletins the patient had q
better night than at any ttmc before since the
middle Of last week. His slocp was still broken
at short intervals, but it MAS moro natural aud
peaceful than heretofore for the reason that
his general condition was better. There was
less disturbances from the swollen parotil
gland He was sponged or with alcohol and
water every three or four hours, and ewal-
lowed liquid nourishment at intervals OF two
or three hours during the night The morn
ing examination showed that the favorable

pain and caused his pulse, which had pre-
vionsly been ut 100, to rise to los 1t soon

The patient rested quietly throughout the
morning and his pulse was noticeably
steadier than yesterday. ranging from
100 to 1O4 or JOG. Whoever Lo fell
asleep his pulse wont down to 100. During
the process of eponging off, and as often as he
was otherwise excited or disturbed, it would
rise fonr or six degrees. 1t was, however, at
all times full and strong in character. During
the forenoon the patient took his full usual
allowance Of nourishment, including some va
riations in the shape Of chicken broth and milk
toast At the noon examination his pulse was
1C6. but his temperature and respiration con
tinued to be normal About $50 Dr. Bliss
gave the following statement of the presidents
condition at that hour:
II think the president is decidedly better this
afternoon than he was yesterday at the same time.
He had fever yesterday afternoon before this
hour. To-day he has mono yet. His progress has
boon more even to-day than yesterday. The OK
treme range Of his pulse since yesterday forenoon
has not been greater than six beats. The
gland is looking better and discharg-
ing nors freely, and its size
has diminished. His skin is moist and natural in
tore. his tongue clean aud shows healthier cond-
ton Of mucus membranes His stomac Oh is assm-
atiug food better and his mind is perfectly and alb
solutely clear. OF course all these things give us
great encouragement. and while recognize The fact
that the president is still in dangerous condition,
feel hesitation in saying think the chances are
now in favor Of his recovery.
AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
There were very few callers at the executive
mansion during the day, and the crowd which
Saturday and Sunday surrounded tho main
gateway on Pennsylvania avenue had entirely
disappeared. Occasionally some personal
friend Of the president would enter the execu-
tive mansion with an anxious expression on
his face in search of information. In
very few minutes no would come out smiling,

NEW YORK, Aug. 2O-Dr Frank Hamilton
arrived this morning from Washington, and in
answer to inquiries regarding, tho condition of
tho president, said: ~ "a

None whatever now. I have no time to

Is.there any indication that an abscess has formed
on his lungs aud pus has been discovered in one Of
the joints Of Of his limbs, indicated In the
morning papers?
Neither report ia true, replied ,hs doctor. and
furthermore there is slight Indication Of either.
Dr. Hamilton said to reporter of the Even
ing Post:
The president is in more hopeful condition than
l have seen him at any time. There is moro ground
for encouragement, aud should feel greatly dsap-
pointed if he docs not get we'll. ascribe his i'm
provenlent to other causes wholly Independent of
suprura!ion of the gland. mean to say it is not
in any measure in my judgment duo to the elimin-
alton OF pus by the gland. I have reasons to be-
lieve that his symptoms are not due to pyBmia,
but do not care to give these reasons at this time
can only say, as said at first, the president Is
now in more hopeful condition than I have
him in at any time, and cannot conceive anything
that will defeat tho wishedfor and now almost as
sured recovery Tho fears that We shall sustain
disappointment are unfoun led, think, and my
colleagues in Washington agree with me entirely.
UNSUPPORTED.
New YORK, Aug. 20.-Dr. Frank Hamilton,
who just returned from Washington, was
found this evening in his library by an as
sociated press reporter The doctor said he
had been 80 misrepreseEted Ill interviews con-
corning the president that he should hereafter
want of every reporter copy of what he said
before the latter left He had found sayings
that he had never uttered and i; lie found that
a reporter made use Of any expressions
beyond the copy left lie would
not accord him second interview. The
reporter then asked: "Are YOU re-
ported correctly in an evening paper to-day
that you had no doubt whatever but that tho
president would recover?' ''No, sir would
not say that of any patient, and much less of
the president, in whose case it Is peculiarly
difficult to make a safe Representation. The
reporter misunderstood me. said belived
he would get we'll, but that belief is not an
absolute assurance-it Is simply my faith"

Hubert COllyeI.

From Potter's American Monthly.
DO YOU know Bob Collycr, sill" famil-
iarly inquired one Sunday evening passen-
ger of another in north side Chicago
street car few years since.
The querist was an animated country
man spending the Sabbath in the city; and
reckless how the rest If the day spun
through his fingers, at the hour of worship
he was on the jealous hunt for religious
curiosities. He recognized the garb and
air of the city about his fellow passenger,
and inferred that he, of course, would
know something of Mr.. Collyer.
IF. P" turned his head and eyed the
stranger with grain Of establishment; for
tend to familiarity between strangers in
ury, at least. Still he slowly replied, "Oh,
YES; know Bob pretty WE'LL"
Heard him preach, Is'pose?"
"Y-e-s, quite a number of times. Ny
family have pew iii his church.
Well Mister, ple,se, what do you
think Ct him?" pursued the mp-handle.
"Think Of him! Huraph! Not so much
as some folks profess to. Still, l don't
wish to say anything against him. He's
always been kind to my wife and children.
He'sa pretty fair sort of preacher. too,
after all; and he behaves himself through
the week like gentleman-never getting
drunk nor in Jail"
Anyhow" co*cluded the stranger, m
going to hear him to night. I've been told
such great things of him, as the chap who
quit shoeing horses to 60 a-preachl4n,,,
that, seeing I'm in town over Sunday LII
try him on.
VERY good, sir. I hope you may like
him; he doesn't always please me, though.
Town and Country stepped from the
CLARK st. car together, crossed the little
Church. The one was seated by the usher.
The other, now becoming broad with i'll
concealed merriment, took his rolling gait
to the end of the aisle, and helped him
self to the wide-armed, high backed pulpit
chair.
The countryman heared Bob" Collyer,
and stopped at the close to say that he liked
him: and the jovial Robert will tell You the
story with q relish tor two.

The new counterfeit silver dollars in cir
culation is pronounced by the sub treas
ury the best silver coin ever seen. It is
beautifully made, and has slight appear
ance of iron which is often found in the
genuine standard dollar. 1t is silver plated,
and acid does not effect it unless the
surface is scratched up. The weight is the
marvellous point in the deception. The
counterfeit as it stands would pass in sizs
easily, ard it's weight would not be detect

on it is 1878.

Presidential Items.

Many people at Washington are dissatisfied
THAT Garfield has not been allowed to see more
of his friends. President Hinsdale stayed q
fortnight and went home disconsolate, General
Sheldon came all the way from New Mexico to
be denied admission, and Mr.. Blaine has seen
him but once. But even this most rigid seclu-
sion admits to his bedeide Mrs. Garfield, four
regular and two consulting physicians, General
Swain, Colonies Rockwell and Corbin, Mrs. DR..
Edison and DR.. Boyntop, and ''two or three
trusted servants"-say fifteen persons. Surely
a man in his condition cannot well see more. 1t
isn't likely he wants to see more.
An exciting rumor reached Washington
few days ago that the cabinet has decided that
the time had come when the question of the
presidents inability under the constitution
could no longer be denied and that Arthur had
been sent for and Blaine had offered his resig-
nation. The report was foCna to have no
foundation.
The Washington Post (dem.) suggests that if
it should be necessary during the illness Of the
president to have any executive appointment
signature of the president and the cabinet, to
invite the vice president to perform that duty
or affix the necessary signature, the proper
mode Of signing an executive paper would I've
