The cabinet in that outer room, waiting for
any announcement. They hoped, hut they
feared. 1t was as still as daath. The breeze
that came up from the Potomac rustled the
window draperies, but THAI was all the noise
there was. At intervals of few minutes
some one appears from the sick chamber.
Sometimes q simple shake of the head would
indicate no change-at least, no change for
the better. Sometimes the question would be
asked: "How is he now, doctor?" aud the re-
ply would be: 'No change" or "About the
same." This meant that his pulse
was running still at 100 or thereabouts.
Vice President Arthur came little before
10. The first person to meet him as he entered
the room where the cabinet was was the secre-
tary of state. The Vice President took the
profered hand in both of his and said:
"How is the President?''
"No better, fear," replied the secretary,
"and am very glad you have come"
The Vice President conversed for few
moments. He then requested to see Mrs. Gar
field, and when he took her hand the Vice
President was weeping He clasped both of
emotion, expressed in beautiful sentiments his
sympathy for her.
AN AFFECTING MEETING.
There were no dry eyes in the room at this
meeting. "It was," said the postmaster gen.
eral, zone of the most touching and affecting
sights" The interview was brief, Mrs. Car
field inquiring after the health of the Vice
President and expressing her own firm convlc-
tion that In the providence of God her husband
would be spared. After that Gen. Ar
thur conversed with the Cabinet for
while and then withdrew Only
the briefest conversation passed respecting
any official act. Secretary Blaine said that it
was the opinion of the Cabinet that in case
of the death of the President, at whatever
ready to fulfill the obligations imposed upon
me by the constitution if they should unfor-
tunately arise, and await the advice and noti-
fication of the cabinet"

Extra Session of Congress.

New YORK, July 1.-The POSTS Washing
ton special says: 1t is said on good authority
that a proclamation convening Congress in
special session was prepared yesterday, or
earlier, and signed by the President, to be is
sued in the event of his illness taking an un-
favorable and necessarily fatal turn. The
object of this action, which 1t is said has been
taken with the approval of the cabinet and
Vice President Arthur, is to provide against
any possible contingency. The session would
be called to elect president of the Senate
pro tenn, and speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives, and no miscellaneous business
would be considered.

ROBBED ON THE CARS.
The Story of the Misfortune Of Myers, of
Winnepeg.

W1nncpeg.
Among the passengers who arrived in this
city by the 1920 train yesterday morning over
the st. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba road,
were four horny handed. grizzly-visaged and
hard-working looking men. Strange to say,
these apparently innocent individuals were in
chnrge of couple OF policemen from Mime
apolis, who were bringing the men here
to answer to the charge of relieving
a man by the name of Myers of the sum OF
Sl40. Myers story was that he was a brick
maker at Winnipeg, He bought ticket for
St. Paul, and his seat in the car was near these
four men. During the tedious Journey of
Wednesday night he fell asleep, and while thus
unconscious some one relieved him of pocket
book containing $40 in United States national
bank notes, which he carried in an inside
breast pocket of his vest. On discovering his
loss he jumped to the conclusion at once that
the four who occupied seats near him were
the parties who had touched him.
When the train arrived at Minneapolis he
had made known his loss and also his suspic-
IONS to the wide-awake police officials of that
smart city. Without hesitation the fly cops
appealed to boarded the train and accompanied
the party to this city. Arriving here the four
men were placed in charge of the police and
taken to headquarters. Here they gave their
names as follows: Mcclellan, Murphy, Riley
and Murphy, and they stated that they had
been working on the Canadian Pa
cifc road for the past two years,
and few days ago they were paid off and they
started for this city. Their personal appear
ance gave unmistakable truth of their asser-
tions. Upon being searched the sum of
$719.90 was found upon their persons. divided
up as follows: Mcclellan, $780, 90; Murphy,
$221.00; Riley, $142, and the other Murphy
$S7. The Joke of the whole matter was, how
ever, that Myers stated positively that his
$40 was all in United States money, while
every dollar found on the four men was Cana
da money. This fact, taken in connection
with the straightforward story of the men
and their general appearance, settled the mat
ter, and the men were promptly released, and
the Minneapolis men returned home by the
first train.

The struggle for Life Tuesaoy Nioht.

Washington Special (July s. Chicago Tribune.
The oppressive quiet of a hot summers
night hung over Washington. The evening
had been the most depressing since the awful
shot was fired. The news was unfavorable,
and the waiting people, wearied with their self
imposed vigil, realized, without being told,
that the President was passing through ter
rible crisis, and was fighting against fearful
odds. They pressed up against the gates, and
seemed to try to look within the walls where
lay the wounded object of all their thoughts.
They were right. here was a crisis. For
the first time after his recovery from the
shock of the bullet the President seemed to
lose hope himself. Part of the time he was
delirious. He slept little, but it was sleep
largely produced by doses of morphine. He
suffered pains. He moaned and tossed in his
bed.
THE CHEERFUL LOOK DBeARTED

lips. The wives of the Cabinet officers were

soonest room in the country. Lastnight there
was no lights. The great spaces were gloomy
with what seemed to be
THE GLOOM OF COMING DEATH.
Through the open windows on the south side
the summer evening stole lazily, and the
shadows Of the draperies seemed to add to the
darkness. There was no music now only
the sound of whispered conversation as the
people went up or down the stairs. Secretary
Blaine came down alone. He looked worn
out physically, and his face was the picture OF
unutterable grief. He spoke to no one, appar-
emily saw no one. His eyes were upon the
floor as he passed out upon the porch, fan
ming himself mechanically as he walked.

WASHINGTON, July 7.-Au official to-day
looked up the facts of the case of the attempt
ed assassination of President Andrew jackson.

but that, too, did not go of Lawrenson was
arrested, but never brought to trial. He was
sent to an insane asylum, and as far as known
never came from there. II was found that he
was insane and labored under the impression
that Jackson's policy had brought about the
hard times which then prevailed. Should the
President recover the case will only be an as
sault with intent to kill, the extreme penalty
for which is eight years.
GOOD SPIRITS.
WASHINGTON, July 7.-Dr. Bliss is in the
very best of spirits to-day. He looks bright

President has taken turn for the better. He
said this morning: Everything is as nice as
could be expected. The President passed q
very good night and is better this morning.
He continues to improve slowly but surely.
His appearance continues good and he Is very
