Mr. Gladstone , ac companied by his wife , reached the House of Commons shortly before noon. A s'nall crowd Mined the path leading to the entrance Mid tlio house Itself was full , but not crowded. Gladstone and tlio Irish members were mustered in strong form , but many con servatives were absent. The peers' gallery was almost empty , but ttio strangers' and the ladles' galleries were well patronized. Tlio premier met with nn enthusiastic re ception from his supporters upon his en trance Into the house nnd was loudly cheered when lie rose to move the third rending of the home rule bill. llo suoko for more thiin nn hour in a firm voice. The tlmo of his speech wis marked by courteous silence. Ills ad dress Is not regarded as equal to that which ho delivered on the second reading of the bill , but still was forceful , logical and elo quent to n marked degree. His wife , who sat In the gallery , followed tils every gesture nnd seemed to display oven moro than her usual Interest In his effort. Mr. Courtney , member for ttio Bodmlu division of Cornwall , who Is nn , ndvanced liberal , lint opposes Mr. Gladstone's homo \ rule scheme , followed the premier , spealting In opposition to the motion. Sir. OliidKtonn'H OloHliiR Rpcci'li. Mr. Gladstone , In addressing the House on his motion , cited n num ber of cases in history In Justifi cation of the proposed change In the rela tions between England ami Ireland , and de clared that throughout European and Amer ican literature It was not possible to tliu ! a writer who attempted to apologize for tlio shameful history of England's conduct to ward Ireland since the union. Mr. Gladstone , in continuing , said that tlio tlobato on the homo rule bill had been dis tinguished by ttio great development of small qualities by many members. Ho had regarded tlio closure as an ovll that ought to bo tolerated only for tlio avoidance of a iniieh Krciter evil. The pluck of the opposi tion he hud considered admirable in many respects , but il certainly was worthy of a better cause. The government had obtained suhitantinl results in the matter of the homo rule bill only nt n very heavy price. By next Friday they would have expended eighty-two days in tlio discussion of the bill. This far exceeded any precedent , owing to the determination of the opposition to de feat the bill by obstruction. Those who opposed the bill had .adopted a course never before adopted partly to attempt deliber ately to destroy tlio measure by a mass of amendments ; partly to try to take back in morsels the boon conferred in principle. The records of the second rending showed that in committee -I.V.I speeches had been made for the bill nnd 'MS ' against it. The former had occupied 57 hours and the latter about 1V.J. ! "Tho opponents of the bill complain that it is complex. " proceeded Mr. Gladstone , "and if so , the complexity has resulted in Its moderation. It was not , however , the complexity of tlio bill , but ttio complexity of thu amendments which consumed time. .11 itIn Ili'como nn liiicrimtlouat IHHUO. "H must be borne in mind that the Irish never admitted the moral authority of the union. If , therefore , ttio resistance to tills measure were to bo bitter , obstinate and ' prolonged , the question of repeal might finally become an international one. I say now to those who complain of tlio complexity of tlio bill , as if this were a capital olTen.s , tt Is but the natural consequence of tlio adoption by tlio Irish members of these ; counsels of moderation to which they ad 1- hered throughout the interminable discus 1s sion in committee. [ Cheers. ] It was con tended that the bill would separate le islands , would destroy the i , would break up tlio empire , would annihilate tliu control of financial matters by this House of Commons , would make Irishmen supreme in British affairs and would impose virtual slavery upon the minority in Ireland. "Now suppose these enormous , monstrous , hideous falsehoods to be true. Have they not then a terrible recoil upon themselves ! Must , wo not admit after 700 years of British conncetion with Ireland the result -of our treatment Is that we have brought her to such n state that she cannot without danger of ruin undertake responsibilities which -in every other country are found to bo within the capacity of the people nnd fraught with thu richest lionetlts ? [ Prolonged nationalist cheers. ] Wo repel tlio charges that have been nmilo by the opposition. We deny that thu brand of Incapacity has been laid by tliu Almighty upon any particular branch of oar race , when every other branch lias displayed capability on the sumo subject and has 3dt tallied success which Is an example to the world. "Wo have faith In national liberty ; faith in its efllcaey ns an instrument of education. Wo believe that experience , widespread over tlio whole vast field , encourages us lo our work at every point. Finally , we feel that thu passage of this great measure , after moro than eighty days of debate , does , will nnd must constitute tlm greatest among means hitherto provided toward the attain ment of n certain nnd early triumph. " [ Prolonged cheers from Irish and minis , terial benches. ] OtliiT 8p I.eoniinl Courtney , from the Bodinin di vision of Cornwall , then moved thu rejection of tlio bill. Ho spoke brielly. John Ucdmond , the leader of the Panic- ) litcs , wtio followed Mr , Courtney , defined his attitude toward tliu bill. The tlmo occupied by the discussion in committee , ho said , had been spent nrobably In n most proper manner. The bill was do- teetlvo in some respects and disappointing loIn othorH , The lluunclal arrangement was mi- generous and unjust , and he regretted that tlm efforts of the nationalists to at all intm ptovo it had not been successful. mho amendments hail tended to weaken rather llian strengthen thu bill. Nobody In his senses could regard thu bill ns a final and patlsfnctury settlement of tlio great ques tions ut Issue.

CIIICAOO , Aug. ! iO. An enormous crowd of > unemployed men and women collected on the lake front this morning to hold a mass meet ing. Ko very much larger was it than ex pected that .100 policemen were placed Xm Xn duty there , and 1,000 additional were sum moned from outlying stations , as the author ities were vcj 1 apurehensivo of an outbreak , and believed in taking every precaution. As the morning wore on the crowds constantly | Increased and became more turbulent. Im promptu speeches were made nt various points and Indications of rioting manifested themselves. Fimilly the crowd surged across Michigan avenue , blocking the streets abutting on it and preventing entrance to the Auditorium nnd other hotels. About this time the police began to appear in the crowd. In the meantime MO Italians and others started for Spiz/arlcs' market nsm State street , whore wore stored fifty rlllos used toy the Italian societies in parades. , OSr rived there the mob demanded the guns.

The return of the Italians increased the excitement ami soon the mob began throwIng - Ing stones ut tlio police , followed by a shower of coupling pins plckou up on thu Illinois > Central trucks. Orders wore at once sent to have the galling guns in readiness and the police were ordered to charge. Their clubs nt once began to beat n lively tune on the | heads of the mob , and In a short time It broke ami ran In every direction , quickly ; melting Into individuals fleeing through the streets and alloys , and the trouble was over , nt least for a lime. A bout 5 ; ! ) o'clock , after Chief Bronnan had received notice that thu lake front meet ing was over and the crowd had dispersed , he Issued orders to Inspector FiUp.itrick to dismiss the reserves. At the armory of the Second Infantry , on thu lake front not far from the Co lumbus monument , the colonel increased the guard , thinking It necessary to protect ! th < 3 muskets mid ammunition held there.

SHERMAN'S ' PLEA FOR REPEAL Ohio's Senior Senator Makes Another of His Strong Arguments. ASSERTIONS OF SILVER MEN REFUTED Cold Piict * Tor the Auvoratcft of I'rrc Coiti on riimnrlnl Icl < lnttoii Worker or the House. WASIIINHTON , Aug. " 0. The character of Earnest Seyd , the great English financier , was vindicated In the senate by John Sher man. The events which led to the denuucla- tloti of Seyd by all the free coinage men of the country occurred twenty years ago and the great London economist has p.issed beyond the judgment ut this world , but ho could not have had n more valiant defender had no stood nt the bar of Justice. It was moro than a defense ; it was an eulogy and the uustcru Ohio senator was warmed to emotion ns ho reviewed the history of de monetization nnd denounced those who have j assailed the character of Earnest Seyd. At the ' recent convention of bitnetulllsts nt Chicago the assertion was made many times that Seyd visited this country In ISnl as thu agent of the gold men of the old world nnd that ho purchased the demonetization of silver ' by buying American senators and icprcsentatlvcs nt from $500 to ? 1,000 to pass the bill ot 1873. Alniloan Karni'st DuTcnso. As John Sherman was the author of that legislation , lie defended his own character today in defending that of Seyd , and this fact may account for some of the vehement utterances that escaped thu lius of the man noted for his impassive nature. By succcsu sivo steps Mr. Sherman reviewed the acts leading up to the net , of 1B7I ! and showed Seyd was in Europe at the time the bill was originated nnd until It was nearly through the legislative mill , and the only view ho had ever expressed on the bill was in a let ter written in response to a leading Ameri can financier , who had asked for the opinion of the great English expert. Mr. Sherman quoted from a book of Earnest Seyd from the public library showing Seyd was himself a warm advocate of bimetallism , and con cluded by sayimt hereafter ho should de nounce a * deliberate falsifiers those who re peated the calumnies In regard to the legis lation of 1S71. ; Soon after the senate mot this niornintr , Senator Mandcrson presented a memorio from all the national banks of Omaha for the repeat of the purchasing clause ot the silver uot. Mr. Stewart' offered a resolution vhicl was , on his own motion , referred to tlic finance committee , directing the sccjrctar } of the treasury to inform the senate how the revenues , since the commencement of the present fiscal year , compare with the esti mates. HIicriiinn'H Spcorli. At 12i5 : ! p. m. , the bill to repeal the Slier man act was laid before the senate , and Mr Sherman proceeded to address the senate fie said the immediate question was wlrjthei tlio Unito.l States should suspend the pur chase of silver bullion under the act of July j Ib'JO. ' It was to decide' this question tlm the president had called congress together If that were the only reason for the extn session it would seem to him instiniclent The mere addition of 1S,0KUOO ( ) ounces o silver to the muss of silver in t4io treasury and the addition of SHO.OOD.OOO troasiiri notes to those outstanding , would hardly justify the call. The call was justilied , however over , by the existing financial stringency growing out of the fear that the countrj would open its mints to the free coinage o silver. This was the real issue. Tlio gravity of it could not bo stated in words. If tin single standard of gold were had , withou the aid of silver , the relations between cap ital and labor would be disturbed. The in dustrics of the country would bo erlpploi and the value of silver still further reduced On the other hand , if the purchase of 51 , 000,000 ounces of silver per year were con tinned tlio country would be eventually brought to a single standard of silver. On ono tiling congress and the country agreed ; that was that these two extreme conditions should be avoided and that both gold and silver should be continued in usu as money as measures of value. The problem which senators had to solve was how to procure the largest use of gold and silver without demonetizing either. Mr. Sherman went on to given history of the circumstances which led up to the pas sage of the act of IS'J , ) . It was a far better law , ho said , than the bill which the house had then passed or that which the senate had passed. Senators who criticized it oin'ht to remember it was a substitute for a bill of Hie house and a bill of the senate , either of which would have been moro dan gerous in Its results than the law of IS'JO was. ClIUHOH Of tllO .StrlllROIICJ' . Since 1800 tlio banking houses of England had become involved in illfllcultios , England 4iad Investments amounting to hundreds of millions in thu Argentine Confederation. By some sudden collapse in these invest ments the great banking house of the Barings was toppling to its fall when the Bank of England and the oilier banking liouses came to Its rescue and obtained money from Franco and other countries of Europe. The Immediate result of that ifs that American securities were sent homo for sale and their proceeds in gold were shipped back to pay the losses of Gient Britain in South America , There had been still another trouble. For tlio first time in many years ttio balance of trade had turned against the United States ' last year. Hitherto tlio balance hai' ' been 'Sn favor of this country to the amount of fJOO- 000,000. , The lust fiscal year the balance ' was against the United States. Whether it would be so next year no one could tell. Ho thought witli tlm crops now ripening the balance would probably bo In favor of the United States this year ; and ho thought the forced economy whicli followed a paniu would bo a protection against unusual and unnecessary imports. So bo hoped that next year there would bo no dlflleufty in the matter of thu balance of trade. 10o Something had been said yesterday by tlio senator from Colorado ( Teller ) about tlio loss in thu bullion purchased under the act of ' IM * ) . Thu average price paid for it was 71'f ' cents per ounce , and the loss ( calculated on the value of silver today ) wiis ' , " , : ( > , ! i. > 0. It would bo remembered that treasury notes had been issued for the IM.OOJ.OOO ounces of silver purchased to amount of Its cost ; tnnt no interest was paid on these notes , and that they had been used by the people as current money. " - Im ( lood "Suppose , " continued Mr. Sherman , 'this provision had not been made in 1MK ) . Sup pose wo had been compelled to face the storms which followed IbUO the loss by in vestments in the Argentine Kcpubllc , the failures of Australian banks , etc. without having any increase of currency. Who can tell what the result might have hconf "Suppose tliu Sherman law had not been on the statute books ! Who can toll what : would have been the consequences to the country from the great depressing facts lieI I hnvu mentioned I "Sir , give the devil his clue. The law of Ib'.K ) may have many faults , but I stand uy it yet , and 1 will defend it , not as u inunsuru of good public policy , not a measure In which il take any pride ( because I was yielding to dire necessity ) , but because without It wo would have met diftlculties in Ib'Jl ' and IS'JJ ! which would have staggered us much more than this passing brcezoof an hour. I am not blind lu regard to thu operation of the law of 1890. l eng before our democratic- friends over thought of providing any measure of relief , 1 proposed relief in a bill which I intro'.luccd ' , in utmost the same words us the bill of the senator from Indiana ( Voorhees ) , But did our friends on hu other side KCO thu danger then and help us to suspend the operation of the law f 1S901 They cannot answer. I did hlnk after two yenrs t trial that it vas better to suspend ; and \vo on this side if the chamber tried to tlo tt , bat wo had no upport on the other Mdo 'It is therefore nanifcst ttiat I am not n new ; convert to the npeal of the purchasing clause ot the act of MKI. I do not , however , votefor , the repeal vlth any expectation that It will In tiny con siderable degree relieve us from the Indus- rial stagnation that tins fallen on us nml .hat has thrown out of employment him- Ircds of thousands of peoplo. Ills Appeal Tel In Vn I n. "The president , In tlio midst of panic , np- .iculs to us to repeal this law , and he will lot make this appeal to mo lu vain. 1 have no sympathy with him in politics , but I be lieve lu tins matter lie Is right nnd it is my lut.v to respond to his fall. I will co-operate u any measure that will tend to maintain the harmonious use ot' silver and gold a standards of value. I hope the next mo .sure of relief which my mend from Indkuri ( Voorhees ) will provide will bo a broad , lib- cr.il me.iHuro authorizing the president or the secretary of tlio treasury to exorclH'j the power to sell securities in order to main- taill i the parity of nil our I ULI umv. % There is another thing wo must not overlook ; ttio fuel that possibly the balance ot trade may uo ag.iinst us next year. The appropria tions made nt the last congress , though made after the scrutiny of earofu' ' econ omists , may exceed the revenues of the gov ernment and some authority to make good the dollclency , whatever it may bo , otiight to be provided. Some powers should bo given to tlio executive in the ! matter. If that bo not done and the revenues bo too small to meet expenses , the executive would have no power to meet the delicti. " Ild A'ot Iiitond oncnto. At this point of tils sppech Mr. Sherman replied to and cleared away all the charges and aspersions made b.v senators nnd others In connection with his so-called net dc- monetizinir , silver in 187l ! , and ho confessed to foino niinnyani'o at the statement iniido the other day b.v Mr. Vcorhecs that the action of those who had managed tlio le had been stealthy and treacher on . Mr. Voorhees declared that nothing could bo farther from Ills purpose , or his in tention , man to say an unkind or disrespect ful word about the senator from Ohio. Thu senator was not In his mind at all when ho uttered these words , but , ns they wore dis agreeable or offensive to him. he expressed his regret at having uttered them , and de clared himself Incapable of Inflicting aiTront on any gentleman , in the senate or else where. Mr. Sherman said that certainly lie did not desire to say anything more ou the mat- let , being entirely satisfied. Ho reviewed , however , the legislation of 187:5. : and de nounced the manner lu which Earnest Seyd , ttio English economist , had been denounced in connection with the matter. Seyd played no part In that legislation , j The statement was infamously false tlfnt.Sbyd or any ono else piiil : iJ50.003 ! ) to congress to secure the demonetization of silver. Seyd was a bimetallist - motallist , as shown by reference to his published books ; lie was one of the leading financial experts of the ivorld ; ho occupied an honorable po sition in I-ondon and nn honored ono wherever tie was known , and lie believed him to have been an honest , sincere , uncor ruptible man. He had never visited America until tlio bill was nlmost through congress and it was infamous that the charge should bo so frequently made that public men had been bribed into passing the bill of 1S7U. "Hereafter , " said Mr. Sherman , "when any man makes such a statement about this legislation I shull simply say that it is u-falsehood and brand it so. " liotll VottHl fur tljn Itlll.

The statement so often made to the contrary is 11 falsehood and a lio-X care not by whom made. " ft "It was sometimes tald that General Grant knew nothing of Sliis demonetizing , " continued Mr. Sherman. } , "What of it ? Gen eral Grant was not a llnaneier , but his secre tary of the treasury wrbto a report urging the passage of suuh a lall. In the face of sueh a report how could members of con gress plead Ignorance ? . ' .

" U Sfirtlod The reading of these ( flotations showing such a remarkable chan1 jo of opinion on the part of Mr , Stewart , provoked general laughter at the expense if that gentleman , who looked somewhat bewildered , but only stroked his long beard. Subsequently . . , , , how- over , ho promised to re jfy to ) Mr. Sherman ou Friday next. I : Mr. Sherman followed'yip his advantage over the Nevada soiiuku' by exhibiting a newspaper published in tOTat state , ono whole nine of which was ocou' ' K-d with notices of issessineuts on silver m nlng stock , all pay able in United States roll ! coin. Then he came back to the main s ibject of his spo"Cli , mil said : "I do not thin c that the stoppage of silver coinage was th end of silver.'o \ have proven that the more purchase of ail- ver by us on a declining , ' inaruet is an im provident use of public money and ought to bo abandoned , or at least suspended , until a time may como when by an Inteniitloiml agreement or by some provision ofl law wn may guard against the possibility ) ofcoming into a single standard of silver.

New York and Philadelphia newspapers today , a confirmation from Dr , llasbrouok of tin statement that a surgical operation had rei been performed upon President Ch for some organic disease. Sena tors Oray , Voorhces , Vest , Vims and other personal : friends who frequently saw the president when ho was last In Washington finally acknowledged that Mr. Cleveland had talked to thoih about the operation ami had expressed doubt and worry over his condition , Others with whom the president had talked about his health , while refusing to bo quoted , stated In n general way that the feature ofw the president's illncs * which worried him was the inability oi the physicians to dlag- nose his caso. It was the suspense , the .doubt as to the trouble that worried the presi dent constantly. This condition tallies ex actly with the general and specific state- inonts which have been inado n number of times during tlie past three weeks in Tun iii KB specials. The president nor the ph.vsl cians ! could tell whether it was an ad'ootion of the kidneys , dropsy , a general break down of his nervous system , or trouble with Ills liver and blood. The acknowledgment b.vwl Dr. Hnsbrouck , ono of the physicians who attended at the opcr.ition , that it was sarcoma , which In common ICnglish means maliunant cancer , has .surprised and pained everybody In Washington and has created u profound impression upon all men in congress - gross and the executive department. Mny UP Otirod. The hope is expressed on every hand that tlio opinion of Dr. Hasbrouck , that the dis ease , being in its incipiency , was removed by the operation , will prove true. The only dis couraging feature of the present situation now is that the president has not fully re covered his health , is not well enough to name a time for his return to Washington , and should he come back within the next few days his presence will be hailed with more sorrow than delight , unless he is ac companied by a positive statement from n reliable source that tlio operation has re moved all trace of that , dread malady , and that ho is surely recovering his usual vigor ous health. There Is a general demand hero that an end be put to the custom of misleading the public when a statement is made concerning the health of a public man. and especially one in whom the country Is deeply interested , ns , the President of the United States. The belief here obtains that a statement will be made of Mr. Cleveland's condition , and that it will bo of a reliable character. All Wash- is absorbed in thi ; ; one question now. " : " .

TO KiiHii Tin-in" i , Representative By tin in stated to Tin : BBS : orrespondent this afternoon Unit the intcn- ion of the committee on ways and moans vas to push the now tariff bill to completion is soon as possible. He expressed the belief hat the new bill would be reported to the louse within six or eight weeks. The com- nittco will have daily hearings until Sop- ember 30 for the purpose of securing the riows of various manufacturers and others llrcctly interested upon the proposed tariff evision , anil after that date the committee vill close Its doors and rush the bill o completion. Mr. Byniim believes that t would bo to the interest of certain manufacturing and farming indus- ries In Nebraska and other states to c us nt oa moderate reduction of the duties and voluntarily inform the committee , rather than leave the committee to act upon ittt own judgment , as ho thinks the revision would bo less than if the committee acted without any advice from those directly in terested. Mr. Bynuin says the present session will continue into the regular session n December , and that undoubtedly the new tariff bill will bo finally acted upon by con- ress in the early part of next summer. Ho Jiinlcs there should bo no delay in the work , and that it is due to manufacturing interests everywhere that tlio suspense should bo ended as soon us possible. I'ociilnr C'di'.diUoiiH ut Washington , "I am trying to make business connections icro , and propose to make Washington isy onio. " This statement is made by fully one-half of the republican ofllcchoUlcrs who ire being from day to day turned out to give . > iaeos to democrats. So many lawyers and : > liysclniis ! have entered the professions from federal ofllccs in Washington that the city Is overflowing and at no tune during the liast two years have there been half so many men out of 'vork as now. Oniccholding not only becomes n disease In Washington , but it scums to disqualify men for business in their localities. Very few persons after holding olllco In Washing ton wish to go back to their own homes and nearly all of them are willing to uecopt half the compensation they have received In pub lic life If they can only remain ut the national i capital. JCx-1'renident Harrison , in writing to an old friend hero recently , said lie could not understand why It was that il professional man would want to live In Washington after holding an oMIce. Ho took occasion to advise - vise those of his personal friends who did held position * under him to return to their old homes us soon as the democrats dis pensed with their services. About one-quar ter of the lawyers who practice at the bar In Washington have been connected with congress as members of that body or as ent i > ployesofit. Fully one-half of the lawyers in this city have held federal oflire. There are no manufacturing interests'in the na tional capital and the commercial interests are limited to small retail transactions. The city Is mudeupof retired capitalists , ex- ofllcoholders out of employment , an army IXof professional ir.cn with small practices and merchants.I I ° r < Mlk < ol It u improbable that any administration has contributed moro largely to the rca.ldont population of Washington than the ono which went oul ° ° t"c < i 'aft ' March , although it seems that about one-half h.of the men who held onlco under President Cleveland's ' first term insisted upon engag ing In some sort of business here when they were retired to private life , with a view to waiting another turn of the wheel and rein statement in their positions , Very few Inof thorn receive reward for their patience. It ' would'seem that there are several thousand republican * who are willing to wait for four ypars in order to satisfy their chances again With thoofllceu. It Is the custom fora man who is turned out of onico In Washington to call for the papers which ho'filed when ho was first ap pointed , These ho carefully stores away , and when his party comes in power again he puts them on file , with probably a few new endorsements , and points to his record us reason why lie should be reinstated. The actual presence of an old ofllceholdcr ou the ground wliuu a uuw administration conies in , nnd the fnct that ho was turned out on nc- rount of tils partisanship by the party Just defeated , makes the situation for the incom ing administration more or less embarrass- in .

[ Special to 1itn Hr.K. ] TUB Hr.i ! forivXpoiulent has taken considerable trouble aurlnir the last week to make Inquiry in the most reliable and best informed quarters as to the real ailment of President Cleveland. There are but two or throe persons In Washington who are in po sition to know personally something of Mr. Clov eland's condition who believe that ho may have some orginlo i rouble. A half dozen others who have seen him frequently and talked with him , ana who should know by the looks and words of the president something of his condition , say that ho lias worried himself Into a nervous stnto which threatens his physical constitution ; that ho does not now suffer from any organic disease , but that if ho does not got absolute rest and fivi-dom from mental strain ho Is likely to have a nervous breakdown or kiunev trouble. Mr. Cleveland bus himself said a number of times recently that It was not physical work that made men 111 , but mental strain. Ho has maintained a good appetite , and up to a couple of weeks ago he slept well. When his sleep began to bo broken and his appetite to lessen , his friends told him ho must leave Washington and seek absolute rest. 1'ia I'liins 1'rnMriiliMl. It Is known that President Cleveland It greatly vexed over the divided condition o ( his party in congress , and the refusal ot many of the strongest men in his party to stand by him in many of the great economic propositions ho has submitted. He is irritated to ilnd senators who have long served their countrv now willing to stand by their own individual principles or the sentiment of their section rather than act in thointorestof the country at largo. The president believes that It Is the duty of a man in comrress to overlook homo sentiment and local prejudice when a situation arises which threatens the sta bility of the country at largo. The citizens of Washington and these who are sojourning hero will receive with a largo depreo of allowance iinv statement that may in j . , the future bo promulgated by physicians relating to the physical condition of Mr. Cleveland.

Nr.w YORK , Aug. ; ) . The publication of a story concerning a sunrical operation ou President Cleveland , which was currently rumored two months airo , has brought n statement from Dr. Ferdinand Hasbrouclt , the dentist. Dr. Hasbrouck consented to talk for publication nnd said : "I have read the article which purports to give an account of President Cleveland's dis ease and the operation performed on turn.

The onctution consisted in removing the diseased portions of the bono and was performed about 10iO : : o'clock on the morning of Saturday , , July 1 , while the president was on board of Mr. Benedict's yacht , the Oneida. I want to say that I do not think the disease Is' the same as that , which caused thu death of General Grant. Dr. Bryant , another surgeon whom I will not name , and myself wont on board the yacht at ibis city on Friday night , the night before the operation. It Is not true , as lias been published , that the president went immediately to bed on coming aboard that night. Ho sat on deck for a tlmo'smoking a cigar , and seemed perfectly composed and at caso. Submitted to ihn Knife. "Tho next day noout 10 o'clock the presi dent prepared himself for the knife. Ha was still entirely composed nnd cheerful. Ha lay down , announced that lie was ready and I administered nitrous oxide to him , lie re sponded to the atuustheilc promptly and was soon unconscious. In order to enable ttie surgeons to cut away tlio bone , which was the scat of the dlsciiso , I extracted two bicuspid teeth from the left sidoof the upper jaw. The surgeons then teen charge. There was no external incision In the llcsh of the face , the operators working entirely within the cavity of the mouth. "The scat of the diseased growth was in tlio lower bones of the nose and in the ad joining bono tissue ou the loft sidoof the upper Jaw. The bono was token nwny piece by piece and , perhaps , an inch or moro of It was so removed. While tlio operation was in progress the president revived from the effects of the ameathattc and I was obliged to administer it to him a second time. Mr , Cleveland stood the oxide very well and no bnd effects resulted from It. Ho rallied very quickly. The r operation , so far as I could see , was an entire success. The loss of blood was not great. " It Aluy He CiincoroiiH * Dr. Hnsbrouck was then asked : "Is tlio disease of the president curable ! " To tills lie replied : "I have no doubt of It. provided il is attended to In tune , and that was tlio object of thu operation.
