WASHINGTON , August 12. The
president's pulse , temperature and
respiration continued entirely the
same this morning as yosterd.iy com
paratively. Those indications are
about OB well balanced as they have
been during the greater part of his
sickness , with a slight increase in
each. His pulse is only a little more
quickened than usual. At the morn
ing examination , before , the last
operation , the respiration was
one higher nnd temperature
is 2 1-10 degree above normal. The
physicians insist that the veniDcraturo
nnd respiration are in a normal range ,
but what ia the matter with the pulse
especially when the fever is reported
to have gone down ? Dr. Bliss says
it is due to debility. Then how long
is this debility to last , and will not
the patient get bed ridden ? To such
questions as these the doctors

tirday was a satisfactory day to him ,
to-day starts out just thu same and he
still feels satisllcd , but where is the
improvement that w.is hoped for ? Dr.
Barnes answers this by saying that his
general condition is improved and the
high pulse does not indicate danger.
Dr. Reyburn says he bail hoped to see
a lower pulse to-day and is not sure
but that ho will yot. Ho says the
president is undoubtedly rallying , al
though slower iVrhajiS than it was
tluuight he wcnlji Dr Hamilton
has nothing to s.i this morning , ex
cept that there is nothing alarming in
his condition. Pus continues to How
to the satisfaction of the physicians
and there is no indication of any seri
ous complication in the case. All are
cheerful at the White House. The
president , had a nap after the morning
dressing and appears as well as yester
day. Gen. Sw.iim says the president
is all right. Col. Itockwcll hays he
certainly scums to be. Another bul
letin will bo issued at 12:30 : p. in.

Dr. Bliss goes around to-day with
his right hand in a sling. L-ist Mon
day , after operating on the president
the doctor accidentally pu1/ his right
forefinger against one of thu knives
from which all the pus from the
wound had not been cleansed , and
caused an ugly irash. It has not
healed up satisfactorily , but Bliss
says it does not worry him.

telegraphed the following to the
White House this morning : "In Tlio
Philadelphia Times of August 8,1881 ,
is a communication which professes to
present my views in regard to several
points connected with President Gar-
iicld's wound. As this article has
been made the basis of an editorial
on the same subject in The Now York
Herald , nnd has , as I understand ,
been the subject of comment in other

in no particular do the details given

has been a day of unusual quiet at

"But , doctor , tlio bulletins say
nothing ns to the cause or significance
of this continued high pulse and tem

"It is merely thu natural result of

At , 11 p. in. Dr. Bliss was trying to
sleep , but his bed was one of
pain. His son says ho had u very
restless time last nigjit , and hai been
in bed most of the day. Between his
visits to the white house Dr. Boybiirn
attends him. His friends think hu is
badly oil' , and has linked his life in
attendance on the president. Ho has
suffered great pain this evonintr , and
it is not improbable that an operation
will have to bo performed on his hand
or aim.
AN IMI'OKTANT I
inoN , August 12. Judge
Lawrence , fust comptroller of the
treasury , rendered a decision in the
case of the appeal of Geo. Allman ,
star route contractor , on which many
other cases are reported to bo depend
ing. Thu decision sustains thu find
ing of the sixth auditor that com
pensation for "expedited" mail
services cannot exceed f > 0 per
cent of Iho original. Allman con-
tiactcd to carry the mails on
route -1(1,210 ( in California , ( Ki miles ,

additional pay amounting tn S.1,500 ,
and nt the same time allow ing fit ) per
cent , increase for encl ndilitionnl trip
for reducing running lime. The ex
pedition" service wns performed as
above. The sixth auditor m settling
this contractor's accounts allowed f > 0
per cent , increase on tin- original
contract prices and in. more.
A11 man appealed to tlio first
comptroller , .ludgo Lawivnoo , who

ILLINOIS CFOPS.
A Gloomy Outlook tot * South
ern Illinois.
No Xlnlii anil the Crops Doing' lt-
ernlly Burned to n Crisp.
, August 12. - In an infir-
view with a correspondent at Springfield -
field , 111. , Senator John It. Tanner ,
fine of tlw prominent men of Houthe H )
Illinois , who is always well posted in
everything relating to the interests off
l&ypt , paints a gloomy picture of i\w \
condition of ailnirs hi that section.
Senator Tnnnor said that ho had re-
ciMiily visitwl thu Aunties of Fayotto ,
Marion , .lenxirson , Hamilton , Oulla-
li.i , Wayne , Clay , Kdwards.Vabosh ,
Whitf , Lawrence , Uichlund , Jasper ,
CrawfWd and Etllnghain and could
speak from personal fact iv > to the sit
uation in thosu conn ties ,
but the entire nouthern
portion nf the ntuto south of thu line
of thu Sk Louisf Vamlalin it Terre
Haute nvilroad is similarly atl'ectod.
Senator Tanner , aiter expressing sur
prise tlmtno _ little had becncaid about
theUppallitig condition of the drought
and crop prospects in southern Illi
nois , said tkat even the people living
there did not begin to appreciate their
situation. As a ruler vlio farmers in
this state have had good crops. Last
year they either sold otF their surplus
corn or fed it to hogs , and as a rule
were depending on this year's crop
for subsistence. There are many fine
farms of 200 aorcs and over' ' in the
state from which'not a dollar will ! bo
realized this year. The clftiob of the
dmught on the growing crtijis has buoi >
simply terrible. In the1 territory
described and portions of some off
the countiw north of thu Vandalr
road there has neb boon a ( h-op'of mini
silica Juno ilOth During this time-
the heat has been very , oppressive ,
the thermometer from '
being DO'Up-oa-
high as 100 , with only occasional ox-
cc ; lions. Tlio highest point wan-
reached on Monday and Tuesday of
thin week , when , for several hours-
each day , a hot wind' prevailed that'
wilted every species of vegetation , ,
the leaves the trees- *
even on treesbeing
crisped. The oldest settlers say tlmt
the heat and drought Uiin season haver
been unprecedented , being much-
worse than in the famous- dry year
of 1854 , when there was a good-
wheat and oat crop and plenty
01 prairie gmss. Judgingfroim
his personal observation and
the reports-bo has received froinothcrs.
Senator Tanner estimates that the
yield will not exceed three to fiva
bushels an acre , about one-quarter of
an average yield , and of poor quality.
The oat crop is about halt' an average
yield , and hay about a half crop , while <
corn is a complete failure. In the
entire belt the acreage planted will
not yield an average of one bushel to
the acre , All kinds of vegetation are v
an entire .failure. Pastures have been ,
dried up for more than three- weeks ,
all species f vegetation being as dry
anif .it wis-.yiiDucinuburi } . Jn addition ,
to this , tlYu puivlfeii condition of lliu
grass and stubble results in numeroim
tires , nnd large sections of coun
try adjoining thu main line
and branches of the Ohio &
Mississippi roadhavubconuuincdovcr.
Being asked what the effect upon the
people thin unexpected calamity
would be , thu senator stated that thu
tarmurs would have to sell off/all / their
supplies and stock for whatever it
would bring , and ship it out of thu
country. They were driving cattle ,
mules , hogs and sheep to the railroad ,
stations and selling thorn fur what
they could got. There is nothing far-
stock to feed on , and water is scarce , ,
all small streams being dry. In thu
senator's opinion one-fifth of ther
population will have to bu supported ,
by the counties until thu next harvest.
