Unofficial bulletin, Executive Mansion,
1920 a. m.- The attendants Of the president
report this morning that the latter had
very quiet, comfortable night, sleeping
longer al time than heretofore and show
ing lees restlessness. Before the morning
examination he expressed desire for food,
and DR.. Bliss warmed slightly and
gave 20 him about four ounces of
extract OF beef, which he swallowed
with apparent relish. Iua a brief interview
with reporter of the Associated press, after
the morning bulletin appeared, DR.. Bliss said
the patient had very good night and was
doing we'll. The glsndular swelliog had not
perceptibly changed In appearance since
yesterday, but he thought It seemed very
little softer TO thetouch; the wound continued
to present healthy and in every way ss.ia-
factory appearance. Generally speaking,
the patients condition this morning 10 about
the same as on last evening The slight ims
proyement which was then noted is fully
maintained, and there has been little sddi-
tional gain In capacity for nourishment.
SENATOR BECK on THE sITuATIoN.
Milwaukee, Wis. August 24.-A special
to the Republican, from Rayfeld, Wiscon.
sin, gives an interview with Senator Beck, OF
Kentucky, with reference to the course
that the democrats should take In case of the
death of President Garfield. Senator Beck
said II would be a time when the love OF
country should raise above all party guess
tions. As to my own course / would be in
favor of some conservative republican, say
Henry B Anthony, Of Rhode Island, for the
position-of president pro tenn of the senate,
and thus avoid any inducement for any in~
sane person or political fanatic TO desire the
death Of Mr. Arthur. In such contingency
this would be grateful recognition Of the
fact that under the great calamity that had
befallen the nation the intensity OF party
spirit and the esgerness for spoils were for
the time forgotten.
HANcoCK's OPINION OF ARTHUR
Boston, Mass, August 24.--In the cars Oh
his way to Portland, General Hancock wal
asked his opinion Of General Arthur, and
with much warmth replied tnat he was an
able, patriotic, high.toned gentleman
and in the event Of his being
called 10 the chief magistracy would dis
charge the duties with but one purpose :
that Of beneatting the entire country, ant
that the people might rely on his judgmen
with absolute confidence.

president continues TO take LIQUID food BY
mouth as reported in the last bulletin. Hi
temperature has risen slightly since tha
time. In other respects his condition Il
about the same, HE pulse Is l04; tempera
