iT = U THE OMAHA ELEVENTH YEAR OMAHA , MONO AY EVENING , AUGUST 8 , 1881 , NO. 41 OUR WASHINGTON WIRE. The Fifth Sunday of the Presi dent's Illness Passes Pleasantly , A Sl'ght Febrile Rise Takes Place Yesterday , But Subsides Early. The Examination To-Day Ex- ttocted to Develop the Lo cation of the Ball. Postmaster-General James De nies the Report That Ho Contemplates Re signing , The Finding of iho Conrt Martial in the Whittakor Said to ' s Bo Unfnvorn'blo. THE PRESIDENT. 2 ? tlonal Associated Ptaaa. WASHINGTON , August G. The nrosi- dent niado good progress during the day and the evening found him com fortable. At 5 p. in. the ventilating machine showed an average of 20,000 cubic feet , temperature of 52 degrees. The president atb a few strawberries and drank a glass of claret. It can bo. said positively that no plan , lias been definitely arranged for the presi dent when ho gets up. It will bo im possible for him to leave the house even for a drive within a fortnight. Probably the first daya of convales cence will bo spent at the 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 febrile - 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 Avcck was an unmistakable indication of the ris ing of some complication which would have to bo promptly met 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. Dlt. nEYUUBN r s said ho thought the excessive heat r had caused an undue rise of tempera ture. ture.Dr. Dr. Hamilton is content to abide by the issue of the night. The presi dent rests as well as could have been expected , and at the time of 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 n state of affairs has come to bo easily recog nizable to those who have watched the case the closest. Dr. Agnew saw'tho patient at the morning dressing for the first time in several days. The morning bulletin had n cheering tone , but at the same time had the appear ance 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 fever. Dr. Agnew agreed with Dr. Bliss that it looked very much as if another cavity Was forming. PUB is still ilowinq , but the appearance bore a slight -atoppapo somewhere. THE DAY WAS DEVOTED by the physicians to a close study of the case. They wore not alarmed , but Dr. Bliss' carriage was soon stand ing on the nvouup wliilo a cutler sharpened surgical instruments. Dr. Wpodward 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 ba performed. Nothing occurred'however ' , but it transpired later that preparations wore being made for something to bo done to morrow. The president was slightly raised id bed , as usual , during the day and Boomed to rest quietly. During the afternoon the tomperat'uro subsided somewhat and at 5:20 : p , m , Jr , Bliss said the president was resting quietly. Dr- Hamilton intended to go homo this afternoon , but did not go. To morrow an early examination is ex pected to develop the course of the present annoyance. ANOTHEU FKATUHK OF THE DAY was the consultation between the physicians and Air. Taintor , an 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 roach 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 can bo accuratley delineated and the exact location do- , termined. If used it will probably be preliminary to making an incision of the ball. The physicians are evi dently trying to keen the preparations quiet unti } the result is attained.'The state of affairs need not bo considered alarming but rather showing that the physicians intend to mcot every com plication half way and feel confident of success. If thoolectric.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 he can boar such an operation with perfect safety. SUNDAY'S BULLETINS. OFFICIAL. \VASHINOTON , August 7. 8:30 : n. m. After the bulletin of last evening was issued the president fell into 'a pleasant sleep , during which the fe brile mo subsided , and Was no longer perceptible when ho awoke.

Tlio mystorj of the secret Irish conclave , now be ing hold in thia city , has at last been cleared up. On last Thursday morn ing the representatives of the dillercnl circles of the famoui Clan Na Gae ! society gathered in this city to hold the drat national convention. The utmost sccrcsy was observed on al nidus. KMMIIO of the delegates went BO far as to register at their hotel under assumed names. Upwards of a dozen of thuae mysterious visitor * registered at the I'nlmor hotiRo and were as signed looms. Upon their ar rival , certain prominent Irish revo lutionists \\ere called upon , Just in what proportion thodiU'erenlcircles of tin- famous Irish union in repie- Rented Iti'ro nt this secret council cannot be learned. It is known , how ever , that Iho eighty lodges and four great circles of thia rity and vicinity are allowed only ( our delegates. It has come to light that an long igo as last January , letters were re ceived fYomropieaonlativu Irishmen in Now York and ulaewhero , seeking their views as to the practicability of lolding a convention , which should represoiitall revolutionary lush wings , ind the present council is the result of such coiiespomlunco. At the session last night after a dis cussion that was listened to from 8 to 11:30 : p. m. a special committee was appointed to draft and report to the convention at its so sioit this evening i plan for a revolutionary constitution. This committee was directed t go even further than this , and its report vhother it be accepted or rejected will cover all the details of n complete rev olutionary government. The men to run this government machinery , of course , this committee will not name. That will be the bus- ness of the convention in case it ac cepts the report. Meanwhile the convention is proceeding with its oth er important business. Among the more prominent of the lelcgatoa at the convention is a lawyur , 3op. J. Ye8t , of Providence , R. I. This man's sincerity has been quos- ionocl. It has been charged that ho ras in the employ of the English government , and was chiolly inter ested in the Irish revolutionary schemes in order that ho might forc- varn Britishers. This charge is not a now one. It has been before against lYest at his own home in Providence. Whether or not these remarks are rue , certain it is that they have created great excitement in the very nidst of the body in session at the . 'aimer house. The whole of this noriiing was spent in examining West and his record. It is known that specific charges have been made against him , and proof of the truth ilaccd in the hands of prominent lelogatos present. CHICAOO , August 7.

However , after the morning session the seeming diflioulties were adjusted with satisfaction to all con cerned and the receding dole- .rates will return to-morrow in iiarmony. To-morrow's meeting will be the most important A committee on further action will report , and the general plan of action recommended will bo as follows : The funds are to bo expended no more for open waifare upon the British jovcinmont , but used to increase and maintain the agitation for the benefit of Irish liboity.

The independence of Australia is to bo declared , and a republic erected by English speak- ng people of South Africa , including Jape Colony and Natal to bo united with other neighboring districts and 'rom the South African republic. The resident populace of India is to ju incited to insist upon being taxed no longer fur the support ot British nstitutions but all revenues to be ox- ) ondcdfor internal improvements and jxtension lecommcnd that this con vention send delegations to the grand iiteriiational congrcns to be hold in the United States next winter to which delegates will bo invited from .lie countries above named , and all republics and these societies advocat- ng liberty , in the meantime looking forward to the grand European re- tublic and also a grand consolidation if the American republic composed of .ho United States , Canada and Mexico.

He was finally removed to his homo on West Fifth street , opposite the residence of Councilman Hainan , where ho died at 10 o'clock Friday evening. Ho was a. Gorman , ubout thirty-five years olu , having resided in this coun try only about a year , and leaves a wife to mourn his loss , who has un bounded sympathy In her severe trial. ANOTHER.
