National Associated Press.
WASHINGTON , August 0. Tlio president -
dent niado good progress during the
day and the evening found him com
fortable. At 5 p. ni. the ventilating
machine showed nn average of 20,000
cubic feet , tonipcraturo of 52 degrees.
The president at& a fo\v , strawberries
and drank a glass of clnrct. It can
bo. said positively thnt no plait has
been definitely arranged for the presi
dent Whoa ho gets up. It will bo im
possible for him to Icnvo the house
oven for n drive within a fortnight.
Probably tlio first days of convales
cence will , bo spent at tlio Soldier's
Homo. "Mentor and n sea voyage are
things for after consideration.
THE FIFTH SUNDAY
of the president's illness has not been
a particularly severe one on the pa
tient , although it has been one of
anxiety for the doctors. The satis
factory subsidence of yesterday's feb
rile rise could not blind them to the
fact that something was wrong. A
slight but gradual increase in the
fever each night during the week was
an unmistakable indication of the ris
ing of some complication which would
have to bo promptly mot before a fav
orable of the patient could continue.
The trouble was thought to bo with
the ball. Whether a pus cavity had
formed or was forming at the ball
seems now to have been a question
between the physicians. Dr. Bliss
was careful to toll the newspaper men
last night that all was going nicely.
To-day , however , it was learned that
at last evening's examination he gave
the opinion that another pus cavity
was forming.
Dit. REYI5URN
said he thought the excessive heat
vfflra / had caused an undue rise of tempera
ture.
13r. Hamilton is content to abide
by the issue of the night. Tlio presi
dent rests as well as could have bcon
expected , and at the timoof the morn
ing dressing , gave outward indications
generally satisfactory. His tempera
ture is a little above normal , and this
fact , coupled with circumstances un
known , save to the physicians , made
them a little nervous. Such a state
of affairs has come to bo easily recog
nizable to those who have watched
the case the closest.
Dr. Agnew saw'the patient at the
morning dressing for the first
time in several days. The
morning bulletin had a cheering tone ,
but at the same time had the appcar-
aiicu of extreme caution. The physi
cians are very cautious. They kept
aloof from the press and nothing is to
bo learned except that the president
appears to bo doing well to-day. At
the morning conference the physicians
turned on the subject of fovor. Dr.
Agnew agreed with Dr. Blis that it
looked very much as if another cavity
Was forming. Pus is still flowing ,
but the appearance bore a slight
.stoppasro somewhere.
TUB DAY WAS DEVOTED
by the physicians to a close study of
the caso. They wore not ularmcd ,
but Dr. Bliss' carriage , was seen stand
ing on the avouup while n cutler
sharpened surgical instruments. Dr.
Woodward drove off hurriedly and on
his return tried awkwardly to hide
from view a case of delicate instru
ments. These small matters
soon gave rise to the im
pression that an operation
was about to b performed. Nothing
occurred , however , but it transpired
later that preparations wore being
niado for something to bo done to
morrow. The president was slightly
raised id bed , as usual , during the day
and seemed to rest quietly. During
the afternoon the temperature subsided
somewhat and at 620'p ; , in , Dr , Bliss
said the president was resting quiotly.
Dr- Hamilton intended to go homo
this afternoon , but did not go. Tomorrow -
morrow an early examination is ex
pected to develop the course of the
present annoyance.
ANOTHKU FEATURE OF THE DAY
was the consultation between the
physicians and Sir , Taintor , un assist
ant to Prof. Boll , who is in Boston.
The consultation was in regard to the
possible use of an electrical probe at
the White House to-day. It is about
long enough to reach through a per
son s body and consists of a flexible
tube a quarter of an inch in diameter ,
containing a double conductor. The
interior end is fitted with magnet ,
which , when it comes in contact with
metal , indicates the discovery at the
other end The instrument is operated -
ted by a two cell battery and its exact
progress into the wound can bo fol
lowed by a counter movement of
the outer end. By this means the
course of the ball cau bo accuratley
delineated and the exact location do-
tormiued. If used it will probably bo
preliminary to making an incision
of the ball. The physicians are evi
dently trying to keen the preparations
quiqt until the result is attained. The
* ( * r * - * > * *
p ' * t . :
state of affairs need not bo considered
alarming but rather showing that the
physicians intend to moot every com
plication half way and I col confident
of success. If the eloctric.xl probe is
used the patient will be caused more
annoyance , perhaps , than ho has
been hitherto subjected to , but the
doctors are agreed that hi1 can boar
such an operation with perfect safety.

A Terrible Adventure.
Niagara 1'ulh Rpcilal to tlio Cincinnati Uazctto.
The residents of Chippewa , a small
town two miles from hero , up the
Niagara river , were startled at dusk
last evening by hearing loud cries for
help from the river , which was cov
ered with nn impenetrable fog. It
was soon discovered that John Leh
man. his son and John Greenwood , all
residents of that village , who had
rowed over to tlio American side in
the morning , had attempted to return
at dusk , stai ting from Port Day , about
a mile above the falls , but had been
overtaken by a sudden land fog falling
upon them as they were Hearing the
Canadian shore. Losing their course ,
they were swiitly Hearing the rapids
and being carried to destruction
through the rushing waters ,
The town boll was rung and some
parties fired guns ; no pthor effort
under the circumstances could bo
niado to save the untortunato mon ,
and those who had gathered on the
shore from hearing their cries stood
stricken with terror , knowing the
fearful death awaiting the occupants
of the boat.
Greenwood , seeing his dangerous
position , let * go his anchor , which ,
fortunately , took hold of the rocks
and ho was saved. lie kept shouting
for help at intervals all night' , and
this morning was found riding Bafoly
at anchor. The Lehmans , having no
anchor in their boat , drifted down
with the rapids , shrieking frantically
for help. Almost by a miracle the
current swept them against a pro
jecting point near Burning Springs ,
and they were saved. They returned
as quickly as possible to Chippewa ,
secured aid and waited until day
break , when , with great diffioulty and
daring , they succeeded in rescuing
their comrade. " ' ' - . *

CIIICAOO , Augmt O. The mystorj
of the secret Irish conclave , now being
ing held in this city , has at last boor
cleared up. On last Thursday morn
ing the representative * of tlio ditloronl
circles of the famous Clan Na ( lac
society gathered in this city to hold
the lirst national convention. Tin
utmost socrcsy was observed on al
sides , StMiii ) of Iho delegates went sc
far as to register at their hotel uiuloi
assumed naiiu'n. Upwards of a dozen
of these myntorimis visitors registered
at the I'ntmor house and were n.v
signed rooms. Upon their nr-
rival , certain prominent Irish revo
lutionists were called upon , Just
in what proportion the dillorent circles
of the fitmoufl Irish union is roptc-
scntod hero at this secret council
cannot bo learned. U is known , how
ever , that the eighty lodges and four
great circles of ( his eity and vicinity
uro allowed only four delegates.
It bus come to light that as long
ago as last January , letters were received -
ceived from ropiosontalivo liishmonin
Now York and elsewhere , sueking
their views as to the practicability of
holding a convention , which should
represent all revolutionary liish wings ,
ind the present council is tlio result
of such correspondence.
At the session last night after a dis
cussion that was listened to from 8 to
1.1:30 : p. m. a special cummitteo was
appointed to draft and report to the
convention at its so sion this evening
i plan for a revolutionary constitution.
This committee was directed U go
even further than this , ami its report
whether it be accepted or rejected will
cover all the details of a complete rev
olutionary government.
The mon to run this government
machinery , of course , this committee
will not name. That will be the bus-
ness of tlio convention in case it ac
cepts the report. MoAiiwhilc the
convention is proceeding with its oth
er important business.
Among the more prominent of the
lelcgatos at the convention is a lawytir ,
3oo. J. West , of Providence , R. I.
This man's sincerity has been quos-
.ionod. It has boon charged that ho
vas in the employ of the English
jovernment , and was chiefly inter
ested in the Irish revolutionary
schemes in order that ho might fore
warn liritishors. This charge is not
i now ono. It has been before against
Arest at hia own home in Providence.
Whether or not these remarks are
.ruo , certain it is that they have
created great excitement in tlio very
nidst of the body in session at tlio
.Jalmpr houso. The whole of this
norning was spent in examining West
and his'record. . It is known that
specific charges have been niado
against him , and proof of the truth
ilaccd in the hands of prominent
lelogates present.

Or * Wni It CntiRoil By n Severe
Bontinc ; ?
John Peterson also known at John

a little before ton o'clock. It is al
leged by L is friends that his death was
the result of a fight between him and
a man nani d Chas. Noistrom. Tlio
fight occun * od on Wednesday last
ibout IXMI L'l Peterson's shop , which
is lor-ited on .Sixteenth street bolwoou ' -
tssirdnnd Bur.t. The two men have
ioen working Ln adjoining shops for
some time past , Peterson having been
a wagon maker , , andNoistnim a black
smith. It had bt' en their practice to
work on < a sort ot partnership basis ,
1'otorson-doing the woodwork on the
vehicles , and Ncistfom the iron1 work.
[ t is Raid that lalely they ham had a.
; oed many dispute * between tlioin-
solves concerning business rxnttora.
Upon the day before the fightoo -
currod they had another dinpuki.
eistrom it appears ordered omo
> oor to his'flhop and invited Peterson
n to take eonio with him. When *
'etorson wont in a fen * moments ) af-
orward the boor was all gone. Ho-
asked where it was and Noistrom'
aughcd' at him. This caused eomo-
> ad blood but they did not como to-
> lows nt that time.
On Wednesday Peterson and Nois-
rom , together with four or llvo other'
neil , were inlliealiop of the former.
L'lio party had some beer and then
engaged thomuelyes in singing and
conversation tor some timo. Finally
a man came in who wanted a saw filed ,
jut for some reason it was not done
immediately. According to the testi
mony of witnesses at the coroner's in
quest yesterday the row then com
menced between the two mon. Peter
son's and. Noistrom's hats wore both
laying on a bench in the shop.
Noistrom took up a mallet and struck
Peterson's hat on the crown and then
his own. Ho then placed ono hat ,
within the other and put both on his I
head. Peterson objected to this and
ca'lcd for hit ) hat. This led to a sort
of sculllo , and then into a tight. Po-
torsun , it is alleged by some people ,

is denied , by others. Ncistrum gob
his antagonist down and then beat
