Cardinal Manning's Rules,

Cardinal Manning suffers no priest in
his diocese to smoke and he encourages
I'LL to take the pledge. That which he
breaches he practices; and Cardinal
Simeoni. when on visit to England,
occasioned no little CONSERVATION ut the
"Archbishop's house" by lighting u
cigar after dinner and passing round his
cigar case. Cardinal Manning carries his
asceticism even to condemnation Of pnd-
ding. Bread and meat and vegetables,
argues his Eminence, are enough to sup
port the body in healthy working condi-
ton. Therefore, any further addition t.
ones table savors Of glnttony. This.
however, is rule for clerics. The Car
dinal is indulgent toward laymen and
lately good naturedly prevented at least
one young lady from taking the vows.

THE LATEST.
DIR. Bliss Interviewed.

WASHINGTON, August 80. DIR. Bliss said
to a reporter tonight that the glandular
swelling looks better than at any time here
tofore. 1t has preceeptibly diminished in
size and the pus pockets are running together.
We shall make another incision tomorrow
and release a considerable quantity of pus
which will be ready to come out. l think
the gland will look good deal better to-
morrow, but of course it will be several days
before we cease to feel anxious about it. The
wound is doing well. 1t usually shows most
prominent in the morning but is looking bet
ter every night. don't think that now the
Presidents life is in any danger from the
wound. 1t is reported that the ball has
changed its location.
Is such the case:
Yes, and the ball is making its wav dow n
deeper into the pelvis, probably in the direc-
ton Of the rectum. We base our opinion
partly on the evidence of such and partly on
the patients own sensations.
Do you regard this downward movement
of the ball as an unfavorable circumstance I?
Not at all. Rather the contrary. 1t is
very likely that the ball will have to come
out sometime, and we can get at it in that part
of the body toward which it is going as we'll
as in its original location.
III reply 10 q question as TO the patient q
weight. DR.. Bliss said:
don't know how much the President
weighs, but she has not yet reached the
dangerous limit eniociation; man can lose
two-fitths of his weight before his life is en-
dangered. The President has not vet lost so
much as that. In conclusion, DIR. Bills IS
said that the President had not an unfavora-
BILE symptom tonight, unless a slightly in
creased fever were taken as such. and that
he looked confidently for more improvement.
All the members of the cabinet have been
at the Executive Mansion tonight. but all
have now, at 80, gone home. The Pres
ident has rested well throughout the evening.
sleeping most of the time. and his fever has
subsidized. DIR. Bliss reports his pulse At thi.
hour to be about los, and his temperature
normal. or nearly so.

HORRIBLE EXPLOSION.
Two Men Blown Atoms by the ExpIO-
sion Of Torpedo.

NEWPORT, X. l.. August 29. terrible
explosion has Just occurred in the harbor by
the premature explosion of torpedo which
was being planted by Lieut.. Com. Edes and
Lieut.. Spaulding. Both were blown thirty
feet in the air, and, as might be supposed,
instantly killed and horribly mangled. The
bodies have been taken out of the water and
removed to the torpedo station. Edes has
wife here who has just heen notified. Spauld-
ing was unmarried. His father at Ports
mouth has been informed of the sad event
which has cast gloom over the place. Adj
miral Porter is now by the side of the dead
officers.
Workmen employed on the station waded
into the water as soon as possible and recov-
cred all that was possible of the bodies.
Edes' legs were torn from the trunk and split
in two. Spaulding's feet were blown of,
and while his boots were found in good
order, not trace of his feet was discovered.
The spectators were actually speechless
at the horrible spectacle. The class
returned to the island ard an officer was de-
tailed to go to Naragansett Pier and break
the news to Edes' wife, who had gone there
for few days visit. She had resided
here all summer with her husband and chill
daen. He belongs in Washington, while
Spaulding, who is unmarried, belongs in
Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
The coroner's inquest brought in verdict
that Edes and Spaulding met their death by
the accidental explosion of torpedo, which
would not have happened had they followed
instructions. No one attachedto the torpedo
station is to blame. This exculpates Lieut..
Caldwell, one of the instructors, who in
doing his duty in closing the circuit made
possible the accident. Edes depended on
keeping this circuit open, though he failed to
inform Caldwell of his intentions.
