--Conklings letter TO Attorney General
McVeigh aud his dispatch TO Vice.Presi-
dent Arthur, in which he expresses regret
at the attempted assassination OF the presl-
dent and offers his sympathy to the presl-
dents family, have beenpublished, and now
those who formerly denounced him for his

Nothing that Conkling could do now would
satisfy those he has offended.
The congregation Of the Hebrew syna-
gogue on Eighth street, Washington, offer
ed up the first public prayers for President
Gar6eld's recovery. The reader was rect-
ing the formal prayers which are always Of,

president and those in authority when news
of the shooting came and the Saturday
morning services ended in tears and pray
ers for the wounded executive.
Night before last fire broke out in the
large smoke house of Messrs. Hinkle,
Moore & Hinkle, which stands back of pc.
lice headquarters. The house contained
about seven hundred dollars worth
of hams and bacon, nearly
half OF which was totally destroyed. The
origin of the fire is not positively known,
but it Is thought that either the smoking
embers broke out into flame from the ex-
cessive draft, or piece of meat tell upon
them and caused them to blaze up.
The maximum temperature for six
teen hours preceding three o'clock p. M,

lows: Chattanooga, Tenn, "a; Cincinnati,

Perhaps the most fervent wishes for
the speedy recovery Of the president, out
side of those expressed by his own family,
come from telegraphers and newspaper
people. In addition to the humanity and
patriotism common to all good citizens of
the republic, these servants of the news,de.
vouring public have their own comfort to
consider. Never before in the history of
the science of telegraphy have such feats OF
sending" and receiving" been performed,
and 1t is certain that operators, correspon-
dents and the others directly engaged in
compiling, forwarding and presenting news
to the people will be glad when the strain
| is over.
Yesterday morning, at 6 a. M, the
temperature at 3ismark, OAK, read So
degrees, and at 70 p. m, read SO degrees,
while at Yankton, OAK, North Platte,
Neb., and La Crosse, Wis, at the same
time in the afternoon, the temperatures
read "a degrees, 70 degrees and rs, respec-
lively. The "cool wave" in the north ex-
tends eastward as far as Pittsburg, Pa, as
was shown Dy the afternoon reports, at
which place the temperature read SO de-
grees having fallen steadily from "a during
the preceding sixteen hours. 1t is proba-
BILE that the cool wave may propagate
southwark, far enough, so that its effects
upon the atmosphere at this point will be
sensibly felt. 1t is to be hoped that the
wave may propagate.
