WAHHINOTON , August { - - 23.v - The
prpaidont boa taken" pix flndiTv half
ounces of beef juice in addition to
other nourishments this rriorniUg and
nil haa been retained. The wound is
rapidly repairing nnd the condition of
the wound is no worse. Reports from
the prcsido.t'B sick room tlnit morning
sliow that there hnaliobn nothih'g lost
since yesterday. The president was
less rostlcsa but somewhat annoyed
by phlegm in the throat , but nble to
clear it with less exertion. During
the night he was given two enomatas ,
and also twice received nourishment
by the mouth. In addition to the usual
koumiss and milk porridge , ho took
early this morning , four ounces of
juice beef steak , all taken with relish.
AT THE MOUN1NO DIIESSINO
the wound was found repairing slowly
but the conditions are stationary.
The parotid swelling is now confmod
to the gland itself , which is hard and
clearly defined. Evidences of sup
puration are said to be no less marked
and it is still thought that it will bo
several days before it will bo known
just what will como of it. Mean
while , all the president can do is to
hold his own.
1)11. HOYNTOX
says that if the stomach continues to
do well there will bo n chnn o for the
better as soon ns inflammation of the
gland has "boon scattered or definitely
defined otherwise. It is how forty-
six hours Binvo there has boon -any
vomiting. The feeling at the White
House is still anxious but there is
hope. The anxiety is principally
concerning the stomach and the
greatest care is exercised in its treat
ment.
MOKi : WII.I ) UIIMOHfl.
To-day has been another day of
wild rumors of the most alarming
effect. One was that Secretary Blaine
stated that the president was out of
his head half the time and when Mrs.
Garliehl came to him this morning he
did not know her. Although the
falsity of this story was known at the
White HousoPriyatoSeerutaryUrown ,
to satisfy inquiiioB , went to the sur
geons' rooms and osccrtcinod that the
report was not only untruu but that
the rumor ihnt Secretary Blaine hnd
made such ropoi t win equally false ,
since the secretary had nut been at
the White House to-day. Secretary
Dlaine afterwards denied all
knowledge of the story. _
TJIK STOMACH HIKillll.V IMl'ltOVKI ) .
" WASHIXHTON , D. t ) . , August li.'J.
"The stomach rules tlio world" is
un old proverb. Never was it more
true than at present , whim so much
seems to depend on the stomach of
the president. In it has been rang
ing now for several days the hope and
fear of the nation , and its increased
strength to-day has been about the
only food for increased hope. The
food lias been slightly increased und
its character strengthened. All the
nourishment has been taken without
nausea. The president has not ul
ways asked for food , but it is taken
without repugnance. As yet HH effect
lias been noticeable only in the pulse.
This has boon reported firmer.
VKIIY I.ITTI.ECHANOK SINC'K YKSTEIIDAV.
All the physicians admit there has
been little other chaiigu since yester
day. Tlio wound seems to bo giving
no direct trouble and the parotid in
flammation neither increases nor
shows signs of disappearing. It is
generally believed the inflammation
will bo followed by suppuration. This
will not bo certain for two or throe
days. Meanwhile , much improve
ment cannot bo expected. The strain
on the Byctom will too nearly balance
the extra nourishment. Suppuration
of thu gland is nut greatly feared.
Once formed it will speedily bo re
lieved and on the result of its drain
age will greatly depend the hoped for
favorable turn in the case. As It
stands now it looks rather discourag
ing.
THE FKKLISU AT Till ; WHITE HOUSK.
But the feeling at the white house
is this ; Since the president is not be
yond recovery is it not as fair to
think that he will recuperate , as not
very far ahead can be scon tlio point
where increased nourishment will bo
very upt to take strong hold ? Hero
comes in the stomach again , If it
continues to do as well as now the
ground-work will continue to bo firm
as long as nothing is lost ; and hence
the reigning hope is for brighter days
yet to come. These are the eenti-
moiits expressed by the ofUcial family
of the president. Mrs. Qurfield's
hope is not a blind one , 03 has been
said. She reawns out for herself the
ground for the hope which she has ex-
pleased. To-day she told her pastor
that her hope luv\ \ increased since yes
terday , nnd that she felt sure that the
president would yet recover. Dr.
Powers BAJR that ho would take the
judgment of the little woman as Boon
aa that of nil the surgeons.
EACH SUCCEEDING. T1ULI.RTIN
has just n little better showing than
the corresponding ono of yesterday.
Every atom of encouragement goes n
great way in such n time < vs this , nnd
it has been noticeable about the man
sion. On the street the hope is too
forlorn for expression , nnd it will take
n decided improvement to cheer the
people. The doctors hnvo contented
thomaolvca with the thought that
the patient is holding nis own. Thin
orening , however , they seem to think
there is ground for nioro encourage *
tnunt than yesterday. Even lr. Agnew -
now , before ho took the train for
home , said "Tho president is better
than ho has been for three days , " and
remarked that the stomach WAS re-
pending to all that was naked of it.
WHAT THE MEDICAL MEN RAY.
Dr. Bliss was naked after the even
ing , how ho felt nbout it } "Moro en
couraged , " was the reply. "Thoro
haa been nn improvement during the
day. "
Dr. Roybuni told ono of the cleri
cal force that the president was
better.
Dr. Barnes says : "It is n very fair
bulletin , " and another of the doctors
says that , while there has not * boon
much change : the improved condition
of the stomach must bo taken as an
encouraging sign.
NEW YORK , August 23. Dr. Ham
ilton said before his departure for
Washington this afternoon : "I have
no ndvicca which change my convic
tion of the condition of the president.
I still entertain a strong hope that ho
will recover. "
MRS COL. ROCKWELL ,
who spends much of her time with
Mrs. * Garficld , said as she was leaving
to-day : "It looks brighter up there. '
All this shows that no ono at the
white house feels as if the props were
being knocked from under them.
HIM MIND NOT WANDERING.
There have been no signs of the
president wandering in his mind ,
as it was said ho did yesterday. This
story was founded entirely 114)011 the
usual dullness of perception noticea
ble when ono first awakes. Mrs. Ed-
son's explanation was that it was
nothing moro than any other patient
would have shown who ha been
confined so long in bed and whoso
condition is so weak. His mind is
not as clear ns it was , but what you
refer to as deliriousncss is the result
of an opiate that has been adminis
tered. This of courao will remedy
itself as soon as nourishment , by cno-
mata is gone. It is not on account
of any mental weakness , for an soon
na the effects of the opiate were olV
his mind was as strong nnd clear as
over.

He has twice asked for food which he

THE WASHINGTON POST-
IT HUOCIESTS HOW ARTHUR. COULD HE
ACTINO PRESIDENT.
WASHINGTON , August L'3. The
Post will print thu following editorial
in regard to the temporary discharge
of the president's functions by Vice
President Arthur :
In order to relieve the public mind
from any fear which may exist that
the government will suffer serious
detriment from the inability of the
president to discharge the duties of
liia office , wp deem it proper to make
this suggestionif it ohculd be neces
sary during the illndss rui the chief
magistrate to have any executive ap
pointment requiring personal partici-
pancy on tlio signature of the presi
dent. Thu cabinet could , under a
warrant of the constitution and of
common ( tense , invite the Vice
president to perform that duty or
atlix the ncccsfary signature.
Should the Vice president thus act he
would not bo1 president , he would not
cease to be vice president , but would
be acting president for n time , and
the proper mode of mgning nn execu
tive paper would be ' 'Chester A.
Arthur , vice president and acting
president. " It is true tlieio is no law
providing any tribunal to olliuially
determine and declare where u presi
dent's labors under such "inability"
as to require the vice pti'sidcnt to act
in liia stead ; but thu rcqifcat of the
president's constitutional advisers
nnd thu heads of departments would
bo ample notice to the vice president
that his services were required. He
would have no occasion to take the
oath of oflico , for lie would not change
his oilice. There could not be two
presidents nt ono timo.The vice
president , then acting , would be
simply discharging the duties of pics-
ident us thu lieutenant governor of n
state or the second officer of on asso
ciation or corporation discharges his
duties in acting for his superior when
that official is absent. This is the
plain sense , true intent and meaning
of fundamental law. We can see no
objection to adopting this simple
plan should thu president's illncjs
continue , " 4. , '

WASHINGTON , August 23. At the

This will require un additional bond ,

allows that the additional evulence

Orange , this state , over an attempt to
assassinate Sheriff Geo. Michel nnd
thu subsequent lynching of eight of
the leaders of the plot who met their
death nt the hands of thu citizens ,
vho banded together fur the purpose
of 'putting nn effectual stop to out
rages and all kinds of lawlessness
which have been openly committed
in that neighborhood for the past few
weeks. Tlio troublu began some three
weeks ago , when O. L. Dolno , n noted
criminal , in attempting to escape ,
was shot by Detective Wood. Wlien
Delno's friends searched for Wood ho
could not be found. Thuy charged
'Sheriff Michel with concealing him
and would have revenge. Yesterday
a diabolical plot to assassinate Michel
was then artfully arranged between
Charles Dolno and DIIIJ Harris ( white )
and Samuel and Hob Saxon ( colored ) .
A shum saloon fight for the purpose
of involving Michel , was started by
Sam Saxon , who stinted and ran to
ward the place whnro Charles Dclno ,
Dug Hums , Bob Saxon and a number
of negros were lying in ambush.
When thu sheriff and posse leached
the ambush they wore fired upon.
The former received buckshot
wounds in all parts of the body , A
hundred nnd fifty citi/.ons were ut
once got together , thoroughly armed ,
and started in pursuit of the outlaw ,
who , after an assault on thu sheriff ,
succeeded in making their escape.
Four of the negroes wcro captured and
immediately shot. Another negro ,
Ilobcrt Garcon , was tortured for an
hour by being alternately hanged and
resuscitated until lie revealed thu
plot discovered above' . Af
ter this confession , together
with that of other crimes ,
had been wrested from him , ho was
strung up for good nnd left hanging.
Del no was captured and placed in
jail , whoru Sam Saxon , though badly
wounded , shortly nftur joined him ,
By 8 o'clock at night , the military
guard , thinking cvcrylhin ; { secure ,
loft the jail and repaired to their
home. ! . At 0 o'clock u largo body of
exasperated citizens gathered nt the
jail , demanded of Deputy Sheriff Jett
thu release of Sam Saxon and hia
loading negro accomplice , This was
refused , but thu crowd overpowered
him and drugged them out. A wild
and thrilling ucono then commenced.
Thu negroes full on their knees , und ,
throwing their arms around Deputy
Sheriff Jett's legs , implored him
for God's sake to uavo ilium ,
Suddenly thuy were inspired
with an idea of making their own es
cape , und amid frantic yells atartod to
run , Thu gathered crowd at oncu
opened 11 ro on them , riddling both
both bodies with huck > shot nnd kill
ing them instantly. Thu bodies were
left where they full and the crowd dis
persed. Charles Delno was not dis
turbed , but is to bo tried to-day be
fore a kangaroo court , Judge Lynch
presiding. No sympathy whatever is
expressed for those shot and hanged ,

CIUOAOO , August 23. The com
mittee appointed by the southeastern
railway association to prepare a plan
for the settlement of the Missouri
riverdiflioulties ( are in session to-day.
The greatest dilllcillty for the prepa
ration of n satisfactory plan for the
adjustment of these troubles is the
inability to come to an understanding
regarding the division of territory.
Thu pool is now composed of three
divisions , Chicago , bt. Louis nnd
Hannibal. The Chicago roud insists-
Hint in thu reorganization , the Hanni
bal division should be abolished nnd
their business go into thu Chicago di
vision. Opposition to this scheme
is made by the Wabnali.
The committee discussed the pinna
of the now pool system for the JIBBO-
ciation. A very fuvorublu pjnn wus
for u system of tonnngo pool or , in
other words , gross pool instead of thu
present money and tonuuga pool.
There wcro calls for u , divurmon of
the trnflio from each other. The
committee made no rcconnftundntion ,
but naked for statistical information
from Commissioner Midgely to IHJ
( 'iven them nt their meeting the lust ,
