A Talk With Minister Christfancy.
 NEW YORK, Sept. Minister Christiancy, who arrived from Peru to-day by way of Panama, says that the government is in pitiable condition and peace is uncertain, and the conditions of peace are scarcely out lined. Further than this he said he was not at liberty to speak, since his information had been received in an official capacity. Of the divorce litigation at Washington he said he knew too little to speak knowingly, and when allusion was made by the reporter to the fact that there had been recent and sensational evidence taken before the referee, he said "I did not know there had been any referee in the case, and know nothing of any recent evidence He did not wish to have the story repeated to him, since, he said, he could make no reply on hearsay evidence and as he had been absolutely without knowledge of the case since the end of last year he did not feel in condition to contradict the evidence. He said q thought I had made arrangements to secure full state ment, but they failed and I have had almost no information except such as have gleaned from chance papers often bought on the streets. I will say this, that every charge far as I know them, has been based on false hood and perjury and has had not even foundation of fact. If I could have been here I could have every one of them by competent witnesses on the spot. I asked for leave of absence principally on this account and it was granted in the usual course, but with the provision that it was not to go into effect while the war continued and the affairs of Chili and Peru remained in the complicated condition in which they were. My duty to the government was of course paramount and I remained. I will repeat, however, positively, that all the evidence against me, so far as I have heard it, is false and per iured."

Death of Major George o. Marcy.
 A dispatch was received in Hartford yes- terday morning by William H. Marcy, clerk at the Hotel Capitol, stating that his brother, Major George o.

He was the commissioner for the State bonds, and placed them on the market. His business brought him East several times a year, and he was last in Hart ford about three months ago, always makin ng the Allyn House his headquarters while in the city Major Marcy was cousin of Lieuten- ant Levi H. Hotchkiss wife, and a close friendship existed between him and Lieuten- ant Hotchkiss A dispatch was sent to the latter at Mantle informing him of Major Marcy's death.

THE QUESTION OF HIS REMOVAL.


 The question of the Presidents removal will not be settled until to morrow or next day, when Dr. Agnew is expected. There will then be full sitting of all the physi cians Captain Henry, who left for Ohio last night. said he thought the general outlook Tallapoosa. That vessel arrived here this morning and is in readiness to take the Pres ident at any time. The President has not objected to going to the Soldiers Home, but it is thought such slight change of base would not answer the purpose.
 DR. BLISS STATEMENT OF THE CASE.
 The evening bulletin proved generally sat- isfactory and the hours succeeding it's issu- ance were passed in comfort by the patient. The febrile rise subsided by p. m, and all hour later the pulse had become considerably less frequent and the temperature and respi- ration nearer normal The physicians seem to be all we'll satisfied with the progress. Dr. Bliss associates prefer that he, as the surgeon in charge of the case, should do most of the talking This evening he had long conversation with the agent of the Ma tionaI Associated Press, in which the present status of the case was given substantially as follows: He first explained why mention was made in the morning bulletin of there having been no rigors or sweat. It seems that Dr. Woodward, who writes the bulle- tins, called the attention of the 
 erai occasions early in the case slight fever later in the evening had proved the herald of an uncomfortable change in the condition of the patient, such as chills, &c. To forefend suspicion of recurrence of such uncomfort- ableness after similar fever it was suggested that the point be made that there had been no uncomfortable accompaniment to the fe- yer. No one objected, but the explanation in this evenings bulletin was made in defer ence to the evident general misunderstanding Dr. Bliss said the fever was triaing one and in no way bad indication. He thinks there will be no more rigors in the case, since they cen only arise either from retained pus or malaria, and adequate precautions are being taken against both of these. Dr. Bliss also states that they are now coming to stage in the case when 1t will not be exactly uniform, that is where each succeeding day must not be expected to be just so much bet ter than it's predecessor and where the febrile rise will not necessarily occur at the same hour; in other words, the traumatic fever

Corn will yield better than has been anticipated all along, and there will be plenty to meet the wants of all. Little feeding of stock will be done by many farmers, but they announce that they will have grain to spare for their stock. Oats have turned out fairly, though in some localities they are light and chafy and do not weigh out well. There was a large acreage of oats sown in many localities. Rye will give about an average of two thirds of a crop. Timothy seed yielded sparingly, the average being two bushels per acre. Hay is of 8 fair average crop and of good quality
