ADLER A LITTLE EASIER.
Measures to Relieve the Partially Con.
scious Wounded Man.

There is less pressure upon Maurice Adler's
spine today than there was twenty-four hours
ago, and as a consequence he feels little cas-
Ter than he has for some days past Yes
terday evening his temperature was SO
high and he was so uncomforta-
BILE and restless that DR.. Wagner looked
around for q cause. He found it in the imme-
date vicinity Of the incision through which the
doctors q week ago removed the spintered por-
tions Of the lacerated spine. A pus pocket had
formed, although there was nothing in the
such was actually the case. The doctor
opened the incision-which had healed up very
quickly-and . quantity Of pus poured out
The cavity was then thoroughly cleansed and
OF once there was fall in the patients temper
ature, q decrease in the number of respira-
tions and slowing Of the too hurried pulse.
small dose OF morphine was administered
hypodermically and then Adler fell asleep. He
slept fairly we'll and it was seen that much Of
the muscular rightly had slackened consider
ably: These material changes in the symptoms
are, however, only temporary and a renewal OF
them or the appearance Of others equally
dangerous may be looked for at any time.
This morning DR.. McBlair called but did not
remain any length of time. After he had gone
DR.. Wagner again opened the old incision and
ton OF pus. The temperature not long there
after was 100; respiration, &c, and pulse 100 and
fairly strong.
ADLER CRYING LOUDLY.
When STAB reporter called at the house
shortly after noon today Adler was crying
loudly, but in the course of fifteen or twenty
minutes he became more calm and rational
As o rule Adler is in a unconscious condi-
tion and these crying, moaning spells come on
without his volition. He is less drowsy than he
has been lately
The quantity Of morphine used to quiet Ad-
Ter is much less now than it was during his ear
ier sufferings. For the first seven or eight
weeks after the shooting the customary dose
was about half grain administered Ave, six
and even seven times day. Occasionally
two-thirds OF grain, but that was
only when Adler was suffering extremely
Now one-sixth Of q grain, three times day,
does the work very satisfactorily. Up to the
present time the patient has received over 800
hypodermic injections and the total quantity OF
morphia used has been over $50 grains.

by careful officials at encampment headquar-
ters that there will be fully 10000 genuine
veterans at the encampment and there will be
at least seven "private citizens" or sightseers
for every old soldier that will be here. This
would bring crowd Of 100000 visitors to be
fed and furnished quarters. A general order
issued by Commander-in-Chief Warner. under
date Of August 10, states that the business ses-
sion of the encampment will convene at the
west-side Turner hall August %, at 10 am.

Promised to Thrash the BOYS.

This afternoon in the Police Court Judge
Mills read the riot act to two small colored
boys-John G. Smith and Benjamin Platt
The former was eight years old and the latter
two years younger. They we're charged with
assault on young daughter Of Mr.. Joseph
Fitzgerald in South Washington
The little girl, with others, was playing in
the Armory square when the assault was COM
mitted. Had the culprits been larger and the
crime committed in many sections Of the coun-
try the dead bodies of two negroes would haze
been found swinging to some lamp post or
tree, as Judge Lynch" would no doubt have
taken the case from the legal tribuna,s. Judge
Mills said that the father of the little girl was
to be commended for his forbearance.
Il can hardly imagine the feelings Of q
parent under such circumstances" said the
judge; Had been in Mr.. Fitzgerald's place
! would no doubt have been forced to take the
law in my own hands,
The court was at loss to know what DISPOSE
ton to make of the cases on account of the
youth OF the boys The mothers OF the BOYS
CAME forward and with their assurance that
the lads would be given a good thrashing they
were discharged

THE PRESIDENTS RETURN.
He and Maj. Halford at the White HOUSE
This Afternoon.

Preddent Harrison, accompanied by Private
Secretary Halford, returned to Washington
this afternoon, reaching here on the train over
the Pennsylvania railroad, which arrived ct
lao pm. The Presidents carriage YVES waiting
for him at the depot and he at once drove to
the executive mansion.
HIS GREETING TO THE NEwsPAPER MEN.
About dozen newspaper men were on the
White House portico when the President ar
rived. He looked at the line as he got out Of
his carriage, and, recognising most Of the faces,
took OIL his hat with little flourish and held
it in his hand.
II am obliged to you, gentlemen, for this
All the men took Of their hats with evident
cordially.
HOW TWO HOURS WERE GAINED.
The President and Secretary Halford got
into New York by the Fall River line this morn
ing earlier than they expected, and with the
services Of tug were able to catch the 8 am.
train instead of having to wait for the 10 o'clock
train, as they had expected to.
This gives them two hours more In Washing
ton instead Of spending that time in waiting in
New York.
TANNED BY THE SUN.
Both the President and Mr. Halford were
sunburnt and showed evidence Of having thor
ouSuiy euJoyeo inc VAcatlOn.
The President went at once to the library,
and Mr.. Halford was at his desk less than five
minutes after his arrival.
He said the President would devote himself
to business here until o'clock tomorrow after
noon, when he would leave for Deer Park.
APPOINTMENTS EXPECTED.
Anumber of appointments are looked for by
those who are interested in those matters. It
is thought that some will come out this even
ing.
Secretary Window, Secretary Proctor and the
acting Attorney General called on the Presi-
dent soon after his arrival today.
SECRETARY PROCTOR
this afternoon went over to the White House
with the intention of procuring the Presidents
signature to number Of important army
changes, including the appointment Of
Superintendent Of the military academy and
possibly the Engineer Commissioner Of the
District. He found Secretary Window ahead

Consul Stanwood,s Murderer.

The acting secretary of state has referred an
interesting question to the Attorney General
involving the right Of this government to
transport to its shores for imprisonment a
criminal tried and convicted in another
country. The case is that OF Capt Duvergier,
who was sentenced to ten years imprisonment
by the consular court in Tamatave, the capital
Of Madagascar. for killing Mr. Victor STAN
wood, the United States consul at Andakabe
There are no facilities at Tamatave for the in
carceration Of long term prisoners and it has
been deemed wise to have Duvergier brought
here for imprisonment But in view of the
possibility Of the issue of a writ of habeas
corpus when he reaches this country the
question has been sent to the Department Of
Justice for an opinion

A Far.Sipht Machine.

Not long ago, says the New York Commercial
advertiser. Mr.. Edison made public his inten-
ton to perfect 'far-sight'' machine, ie., an
arrangement by which a person at distance
can be seen as plainly as his voice can be heard
over the telephone wire. There have been
other workers in the same field, and one of
them, Herr Korsel, of South Germany. has not
only effected several important developments
but has actually brought down the invention to
a working basis. The foundation OF the APP
paratus is the ordinary house telephone. Above
the diaphragm aperture is lens similar to the
objective of Photographic camera and above
this a translucent glass plate in an elaborate
frame. At the right and left of the objective
are two incandescent lamps with sill
lighted by specially constructed bat
terry. This constitutes the whole outward
appearance of the apparatus. The objective
serves for taking the picture of the person
using the telephone, while the incandescent
lamps illuminate his face. Upon the glass
using q corresponding instrument at the other
end Of the line. The action of the apparatus is
based on the changing in the photoscope of
light vibrations into electric vibrations in the
same way as sound waves are changed in the
microphone, and on the use of bromo-gelatine,
a substance which, in connection with the WELL
known property of /solenium, makes possible
the transmission Of light.
In the course of an exhibition of his system in
Berlin, Herr Korzel connected his photoscope
to telephone, and had the central office con-
meet him with o business friend in potsdam
who likewise was provided with photoscope.
The moment the Potsdamer stepped to the
apparatus the ground glass plate showed an
excellent portrait Of him, which, when COM
pared with his photograph, was easily identified.
The shape OF the head, the smile and the ear
nest expression OF the whole face we're perfectly
distinct

Capt KansdsIl, che United States MARSHAL scs
re District Of Columbia, has held that position
fer more than month, but has not yet made
eng chsngs In his Office. The only change tina,
Aas occurred was the vacancy made BY the
voluntary resignation Of Samuel Phillips. who
held tie position Of Arst deputy. That vacancy,
alehough Il has existed during Capt Ransdells
administration, has NOT yet been filed. Capt
Ransdell, however. does not propose 10 con.
tinue in Office the present corps Of employees
who we're appointed under the former admin
istrAtion. The oficial axe has been sharpened
and today the marshal requested the resigna-
ton Of three employees. They were WILTON q,
Wheatley, 4 deputy, who has conducted the
business Of the marshars ofice at the Police
Court; Aquilla Allen, who is also deputy, and
Isaac Kline, who has acted as bailih in charge
Of the grand Jury room. Their designations are
August 81.
The three officers whose designations were
requested were appointed under the demo-
cratic administration. This, IL is thought is only
the beginning Of what is to be ''clean sweep. "
!. One Of the men notified said this morning
that the call for his resignation did not come
g soon as he expected. Mr.. Wheatly was a
few years since transferred from the position
OF baili6 OF the Circuit Court to the Police
Court. Mr.. Allen has spent nearly his entire
life az police officer and constable, and was
appointed baiiif by Marshal Wilson about
four years ago.
WHAT THE MARSHAL SAYS.
Marshal Ransdall when seen by q
STAR reporter this afternoon said:
II recognize that these gentlemen have been
good and efficient officers, but other good and
efficient men can be had. Good men will be Sc
lected for these places, and have no doubt they
will give satisfaction. am not quite ready "a
give the names yet, although have an idea
whom shall appoint. In bestowing the pat
onage Of the Office citizens Of the District will
not be shut out. There are no more immedi-
ate changes contemplated"
