Executive Mansion, Washington, July 12, 2 p. Dr. Bliss at this hour, 2 p. reports that the President's condition has been ste.tdily improving ever since morning. The transient increase in pulse and last night was a natural fluctuation of fever and not an indication of any unfavorable change.

The President is better in every way this afternoon than at corresponding hour yesterday. His pulse ut 2p.m. is only 96 and although he has taken no anodyne since yesterday he is now sleeping a quiet natural sleep.

During the afternoon yesterday the President's temperatun', rose to the highest point it has yet attained.

His wound was dressed antiseptically yesterday evening and this morning he continues to retain all nourishment prescribed for him and has had twenty-four ounces of milk and one of rum during the last twenty-four besides a Email quantity of milk toast.

SLEEPING SOUNDLY AT 2A. M. Exeoutiae Mansion, July At this hour, 2 a. the President is resting quietly. The two attending physicians at the Mansion to-night, Drs.

Bliss and Reybourn, are both sound asleep in a room adjoining the President's. The Situation Yesterday. Washington, July The rise of the President's temperature last night caused a feeling of general alarm in spite of the assuring statements of the doctors, but this feeling gave way this morning to one of confidence again when the morning bulletins showed that temperature and pulse had receded. There has been some increase since morning, but it is less than has occurred between morning and noon on any day of the last few days. The pulse has gone up by 1 o'clock p.

m. to 108, and temperature to over 100, while the 1 o'clock bulletin to-day shows pulse only 100 and temperature 100. DR. RKYBUKN said after 1 o'clock this afternoon that the President's condition maintains all the favorable symptoms that have caused so much hope in the past few day that there is nothing, so far as the surgeons can see, to cause any new feeling of alarm. He said the case is doing as Datlu well to-day as the doctors had hoped for; that these hot days necessarily cause some increase of fever, and this is to be expected for several days yet.

He did not believe the fever would get as high to-night as it was last night. The wound is doing well and the discharge from it is all right. The feeling of uneasiness growing out of last night's condition of the President, was added to, iv my opinion, by some outside doctors who, though they have not 6een the case, predicted evil results, the surgeons in charge do not share in these opinions of the outside doctors as to increasing dangers. While the doctors who have the case in hand do not pretend by any means that the President is out of danger, they crow more hoi)cfiil each day. Very naturally, the slow and TEDIOUS PROCESS OF RECOVERY is wearying to the President, but only on two or three occasions has he manifested any such feeling.

Yesterday he remarked, in a sort of inquiring way, that it was doubtful if the few years he would get of life at best were worth all the hard struggle he was making, but Mrs. Garfield, who was by him at the time, urged him not to talk that way, as he knew that his life was worth all that could possibly be expended to save it. The President promptly replied that he did not have any idea of relaxing any of his efforts, but that his remark was more in a reflective or speculative manner than anything else. Of course newspapers and information ganerally of the excitement and affairs outside are kept from the President, but occasionally he asks some questions about these things and tcets some information. He knows what deep interest has been manifested in his recovery by the people of the whole world, and yesterday morning he asked if the excitement at the time of the shooting was as great as when LINCOLN WAS KILLED.

At one time yesterday the noise made in ar ranging for the introduction of cold air so an" noyed and excited the President that the work, men had to be stopped for a while. The ma. chinery is in order and no more disturbance of this kind will be necessary Mrs. Garfleld still keeps up her courage. The ordeal has necessarily told upon her considerably.

She takes daily rides and is doing everything to keep up her physical strength. ARTHUR. Vice President Arthur called at the Executive massion this and had a short and pleasant interview wittyfijffrs. Garfield. It is understood the Vice President will return to New York to-morrow.

ARTHUR GOING TO NEW FORK Washington, July Vice President Apthur called on an ex-member of the cabinet this afternoon and informed him that he had pressing matters of business requiring his attention in New York, but he did not care to leave Washington unless the President's condition warranted. He was advised to call at the White House to-night and ascertain for himself the President's condition. He did so and was met by the cabinet. He had a short interview with Garfield, and a very pleasant one. The surgeons informed the Vice.

President that they thought he could go away without any apprehension of any unfavorable turn in the President's case. The surgeons assured him that had additional reasons tonight for feelinghopeful. Tbe Vice President expects to return to New York to-morrow, but will probably come back to Washington in a few days. THE WHITE HOUSE AT HZDNIOHT. An Associated Press reporter revisited the White House at' midnight to ascertain the President's condition.

At that hour both surgeons who are remaining through the night with the President had gone to sleep. The President was sleeping soundly, being watched by his nurses. Just before going to sleep the doctor left word that anybody calling for information should be told that the President was resting naturally and easily, and doing finely; that the fever was receding and the case looked most promising. Attendants at the White House said the fact of the doctors going to sleep looked well as they have not been in the hub it of doing so. ENCOUUAQING.

Postmaster General James sent the Union League club telegram to-night, saying the President had passed the best day s'nee he was shot. He is still in clnnger, but the physicians are more encouraged than ever. of the Attending Surgeons. Washington, July Dr. J.

J. Woodward one of the surgeons in attendauce upon the President being asked what he thought of the case replied: This has been on the whole the bost day the President has had since the injury. There was less disturbance than during the previous afternoons, and the actual maximum of temperature was less to-day than yesterdny. It still represents, however, considersble afternoon fever, and it would not be safe as yet to declare the President out of uanger, but the general symptoms are encouraging, and with every day we feel increased hope. SURGEON GENERAL BLISS said the President's maximum temperature had been to-day than yesterday, and his condition must improve.

He takes nourishment constantly in increasing quantities, and his stomach performs its functions well. He is not only better to-night than last night, but his condition us a whole is better than any time since the shooting. DR. REYBURN, at o'clock p. said the President's symp toms last evening gave us some little uneasi ness, partly on account of the rise in tempera, ture, and partly on of the unfavorable indications, such as restlessness, and dry, hot skin.

We believe, however, the symptoms represented only temporary fluctuations of fever, and in our judgment the danger of secondary hemorrhage has passed. The doctor replied he 6hould not be willing to say that it may cot occur, but regarded its recurrence as very unlikely. Being questioned in regard to the discharge from the wound, Dr. Reyburn said suppuration was progressing favorably. The discharge tonight was rather more copious than yesterday, but the wound had a perfectly healthy appearance.

In conclusion, Dr. Reyburn said the President's condition was in every way favorable and encouraging, all rumors to the contrary notwithstanding. Up to 4 p. m. his pulse did not go down 100 and it has begun to fall again since the date of the official bulletin.

The President's condition, Dr. Bliss said in conclusion, is in every An Eye Witness' Ttnprobaltle Story. The following communication is published here: July Editor Star: As was an eye witness of the shooting of President Garheld, and being able to explain which shot entered the chief magistrate's body and the course and present whereabouts of the ball that missed him, I deem it proper to impart to you the information I possess of the as it will clear away the mystery of the last bullet, which the newspaper men are trying to solve. In the Baltimore Sun I noticed a few lines that spoke of the difference of operation as to whether it was the first or second shot that struck the President and the mystery that surrounded the bullet that entered the coat sleeve, as no trace of it could be found, though the most diligent search was made fer it. They may search till doom's day but without success, for the bullet that entered the president's coal sleeve a second after passed into my possession and is carefully retained by me as a relic, not alone as to its connection with the President but principally because it very narrowly escaped entering my SAINT PAUL, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 13, 1881.

body which it would have done had its progress not been checked by a large silver medal which I wore suspended from my neck, which was presented me by Rev. Father Frietage, formerly pastor of St. Mary's church, this city. Oil the morning of the second of July, beincr in the vicinity of the Baltimore Potomac railroad depot and hearing the President and cabinet would soon be nt the depot, I and my friend, Samuel Fraser, concluded to stop and see the great men of whom we had heard so much, but had never before seep. We had not long to stay, for soon the President and a gentleman who I was toid was Secretary Blame, entered the depot, accompanied by a number of ladies and gentlemen.

They walked to and fro, engaged in conversation, while I and my friend got on a bench and watched them. Soon the SHARr CLICK OF A PISTOL burst upon the air, which was followed almost instantly by a second one. As the report of the first shot was borne to my ears I felt a stinging sensation in my chest. I left the place in a hurry, believing I had been fatally shot. As soon as I could I stripped my chest bare and found mv life had been saved by the medal 1 have worn for twelve years.

The spot where the medal had rested felt sore and was very red. The bullet was found in my shirt bosom. 1 left Washington with my friend at noon that day, arriving at Annapolis at 2 p. m. I enjoined strict secrecy in my friend, for I knew what trouble Mould follow if I was detained as a witness.

Loss of situation would surely follow if I was kept from my work, as my employer would have filled my place with some one else if I was detained in Washington for one day. I will surrender the bullet if I am assnred it will be returned to me after the district attorney shall have no further use for it. Any further information you may desire which I can give, 1 shall be happy to furnish you with. (Signed) Nicholas Jackson, No. 20 Cornhill street, Annapolis.

HE PROVES TO BE ANOTHER LUNATIC. Washington, July 12. The agent of the Associated Press telegrrphed the editor of the Annapolis Republican giving the name and main points of the above letter and asked relative to its truth. The editor replies by telegraph that Nicholas Jackson is a harmless lunatic and is never permitted to leave Annapolis and that his medal story was untrue. The entire story was a fiction of a diseased mind.

Jackson is the ninth lunatic Hho has figured more or less in connection with the shooting of the President. The others have all turned up in Washington in person. So the wuere.ibouts of Guiteau's first bullet is as much a mystery as ever. Another telegram says Jackson is an illiterate negro who does not know the President has been shot, and some one perpetrated the letter as a joke. Or, Hamilton Explains.

New York, July Dr. Frank Hamilion said this morning regarding the condition of the President, the pulse and temperature in all healthy persons are higher iv the afternoon than in the morning. It not matter whether the body is in a state of repose or active, the increase of both pulse and tempera ture regularly takes place in the afternoon. It has been customary for the President to be active during tbe day time when in an entirely healthy condition, and his pulse would increase, therefore the increase reported in the bulletins daily need not be regarded as indicating anj' unfavorable symptoms, unless both s-hould be very excessive. "What do you thiok of the President's condition, General?" "I regard it as very favorable considering the nature of his injury, and each day will add to his strength.

So far as can be judged from all reports received it will take time for the President to recover from a hurt of this character, but 6o far everything seems to be going on very satisfactory. Prayer and Lafayette, July 12. The first action that bag been taken in tins State by the Y. M. C.

Peter railway, paid the Lake Elysian stock farm of De Drail' Hopkins the high compliment of an official visit to-day. The ccmpliment was enhanced by the fact that the day was unfavorable, and the m'le ride from the depot was made in open wagons and in a drenching rain. This trip was for business, however, as well as pleasure and they showed the pluck that has made La Crossee a prominent competitor for the trade of the rich country traversed by the Winona St. Peter. Despite the unfavorable weather the display was one which any man might have been proud to expedite to the representatives of any State.

Time and weather forbid a visit to the fields, but Messrs. DeGraf Hopkins gathered a fair average of their Shorthorn, Alderney and grade herds, Cottswool and Southdown sheep and Berkshire swine, all of the highest and most favored strains, while in horses the families of Alexander and Exchange from the filly dropped last night to seven-year olds showed as fine grove of trotters and thoroughbreds as grace the stud of any American breeder.

Judge Chandler, general agent of the Milwaukee Paul company, is expected home from the Hot Springs of Arkansas to-day, much improved in health. Henry T. Simpson is the name of the newly appointed assisstant superintendent and train dispatcher of the St.

F. Kindred, land commissioner of the Canadian Pacific, returning from Canada, where he arranged for procuring plats and records for opening his department at Winnipeg, is at the Metropolitan, accompanied by Mrs. Kindred. Isaiah Tryder, the engineer who was killed at Hudson Bunday, was buried yesterday from the First Baptist church of this city, Rev. L.

C. Barnes officiating, in Oakland cemetery. The funeral was attended by a considerable number of railroad men.

Dr.

Wirsabo, of Coldwater, agent of the emigration bureau of the St. Paul Man. itoba company, accompanied by a party of representative Bohemian gentlemen, left here last night for the Red River valley, to secure the location for a settlement of Polanders from Bohemia. F. R.

Sterrett, accompanied by an assistant engineer of the St. Paul Manitoba road, went north last night to locate five grain houses or elevators he is to build this season One of them will be built at Kittson station, in Polk county, but the other stations are to be determined during the trip. Sleeping car fare on the Minneapolis St. Louis company's line to St. Louis, whish has been $4 for the trip, (the sleeping cars running through without transfer) has been reduced to $3.

A new time schedule of this line, which is to go into effect next Sunday, will reduce the through time by three or four hours. The St. Louis trains of the Milwaukee St. Paul company's new riverside line, make the run from St. Paul to St.

Louis in 25 hours 30 minutes, and from St. Louis to St. Paul in 25 hours 40 minutes. This time can be reduced to twenty hours, and probably will be, whenever the "traveling public, or rail connections at either end shall demand faster running. It is now promised that the passenger trains on the new Chicago line which the M.

St. R. andC.R. I. P.

companies have united to form, although the line is about 110 miles longer, will run through in the same time and make the same connections at each terminus as are made by the Chicago trains of the M. A St. and St. P. companies.

But if the Rock Island and its associates make their line a successful competitor the time on the other lines may be easily reduced four or five hours. Col. Cai. Uline, of the St. Paul Manitoba Land department, returned yesterday from a northern trip, bringing samples of the wheat and oats growing on the farm of H.

W. Donaldson, in Kennedy township, Kittson county. The grain 6tands four feet high, and is of good color. The oats are nicely headed and the wheat heads are five inches long. Mr.

Donaldson has 2,500 acres in grain this year, and will have 5,000 acres to 6eed next spring. He is now breaking two sections in the southeast part of the township, on which his breaking teams travel eighteen miles a day. The headquarters building of the Chicago, St. Paul Omaha was planned to include a basement dining -kitchen, so that the officers and all employes in the building might take their noonday meals there, at expense of the company, which it was calculated would be recompensed in the saving of time, in relieving its employes from fatigue of long walks to their noon meals and in keeping a working force in each office without a noon vacation. The first dinner was served yesterday, and the boys say it was a substantial, good meal, nicely served.

A gentleman who witnessed the collision at Hudson Sunday of a number of rnnaway freight cars with two engines says that the caboose, when it it struck the forward engine seemed to split in two its whole length and was then buried under the next freight car, which was crushed like an egg shell. The second freight car, he says, was run upon the wreck and then propelled, bodily it seemed through the air, clear over the telegraph wires into the pond, while the first engine was driyen back upon the second and both engines, with half a dozen or more cars broke through the trestle work and sank in the pond. Crop reports of yesterday from all telegraph stations on the St. Paul Manitoba lines confirms reports as to good crop prospects. In one locality on the Fergus Falls division, small grains were beat down by the rain storm of Monday night, but generally on that division it was thought that the rain improved the gr.iiu.

On the St. Vincent division, the rains of Monday and Monday night helped all crops. Oj the" Brecktnridge division, the storm of Monday night beat down a good deal of grain, but did not much damage it. Everywhere the wheat is heading out nicely. On the Southern division, the day was cloudy and warm, but above Fergus Falls it was cloudy and cool.

These reports cover most of Minnesota north of the Minnesota river and west of the Misrissippi, and a considerable part of the Red River country in Dakota. The passenger departments of the Northern Pacific and St. Paul Manitoba railways have successfully negotiated with the Chicago and Eas tern trunk lines, for running five harvesttime excursions to the wheat region of northern Minnesota and Dakota. The excursion rates will be about half regular fares, with tickets good for sixty days, and the plan is to start one party tbe last week of this month and follow it with other parties each of the succeeding four weeks. Tickets will be sold at all prominent railroad centers in the East, and the purchasers will be started on their trips July 26th, August 2d, Aug.

9th, Aug. 19th and Aug. 23d. The tickets will be sold to Bismarck, Jamestown, Fargo, Grand Forks or St. Vincent, as the buyer may elect, but the two companies will probably arrange so that the excursionists may go from one line to the other and see both without much increase of expense.

Another great excursion is also to be brought out of Canada, probably about the sth of August, the tickets for which will run to St. Paul, Winnipeg, Fargo or Bismarck, with a probabiity that most of the Canadians will take Winnipeg tickets. The object in arranging for these harvest-time excursions is to bring as many people as possible to see for themselves the most convincing evidences of the great fertility of the vast wheat belt of the New Northwest and to learn by their own observation that room and chances of prosperty are' abundant in that favored land for millions of industrious people. The reduced rates of fare will certainly be an inducement to all who have thought of visiting the country and it is piobable these excursions will bring thousands of people. Information from the Levee.

The Orand Pacific, of the line, will go out for St. Louis to-day, and will be followed to-morrow by the great lower river steamer, the Centennial. Friday the fast Gem City will be in, but Commodore Davidson retired from his place as master Monday. The Mary Morton, of the Diamond Jo line, came in at 7 a. m.

yesterdty, and started on her down river trip at 5:30 p. m. Bhe landed ninety-six cabin passengers on her arrival, and had a fair trip out. The next boat of this line will be the Diamond Jo Friday. River men say of their business of this month, as railroad men say of theirs, that freights are light but passengers plenty.

The river men cannot, however, look forward to a big freight business through the fall months, because the river continues to shrink at a rate which promises by the time harvest is over to bring all the sand bars uncomfortably near the top of the water. But there's a remote hope that if government improvements continue to be as actively prosecuted as they have been the last fifteen years say for three or four hundred years the navigator of that far future will not be compelled by low water to laj up his boat about tbe beginning of the big freighting season, when navigation and boats are most needed.

In addition to his duties with the band, he keeps a saloon on the corner of Third and St. Peter streets, known as the "drum major's place," and lately he has turned his attention to the fulfillment of the divine command to "multiply and replenish the earth." In other words, on Sunday last Charlie became the proud and happy father of an incipient musician, mention of which was made in the Globe of Monday.

Naturally Charlie felt in a hilarious mood and everything was lovely. He kept open house, and among other fluids the beer fie wed freely. Charlie paid very little attention to business on Snnday, leaving the hospitalities of his establishment to be dispensed by his barkeeper, who shared in the general joy which pervaded the house of Feise. The result was that two kegs of beer from Banholzer's brewery were opened and the contents dispensed in the usual way without the government stamps tnereon being defaced, as required by law. The innocent barkeeper set the empty kegs on the sidewalk with the emblem of the government thereon undefiled.

An argus eyea agent of the Internal Revenue department, spied the kegs, and yesterday afternoon Charlie was arrested and taken before Commissioner Cardozo to answer why those things were thus. He explained matters, and as the urbane commissioner is a family man, and probably recalled a similar incident we mean tbe baby) in his own experience, he took a charitable view of the case, and at the same time Charlie's personal recognizance for his appearance before the U. S. District Court in October to answer. In the meantime the case with the explanations will be forwarded to the authorities at Washington.

It is safe to say that Charley will not be hung, and the Globe predicts that when the next drum major arrives, the beer stamps will be all cancelled according to law PERSONAL. Mr. John E. Clark, of Chicago, is at the Clarendon. Ed.

Albany, July The following appeal was sent the joint caucus committee, by the stalwarts yesterday: To the Chairman and Members of tbe Republican Caucus Committee of the Senate and Gentlemen: The undersigned cotnmitiee appointed for the purpose at a meeting of the Republican members of tbe Legislature, respectfully request the Republican caucus committee of the S.nate and Assembly to unite in a call of Republican members of the Legislature to be held at such time the said committee shall name for the purpose of nominating two candidates to be voted for to fill the vacancies in the United Stated Senate occasioned by the resignation of Hon. Roscoe Conkling and Hon. Thomas C.

Platt. No caucus of Republican members of the legislature has as yet been called by the usual and recognized method. The protracted controversy over tbe filling of the vacancies above referred to bas made it clear that no settlement of this question can be reached which shall secure the acquiescence of all in the result, restore harmony to the party and preserve the integrity of its organization, except by strict compliance with party usages. We firmly believe that any doctrine or rule of action which attempts to guide the party conduct, except that which recognizes the control of the majority and a free opportunity for the participation of all, will necessarily prove fatal to the organization of the party in the Btate and nation. On behalf of thpse whom we represent, we are led to ask for a caucus on additional grounds.

The interests of the Republican party require that in tbe organization of the House of Representatives in Congress, the party shall not be endangered. By the election of members of the present Congress to fill the above-mentioned Senatorial vacancies, such danger is threatened in the proposition to elect to those vacancies Lapham and Miller, two members of the present Congress. There is no provision under existing laws for filling vacancies which occur from the election of these gentlemen to the United States Senate, except at the next general election, Tuesday succeeding the first Monday in November, which will be the eighth day of November. The provisions of the State law, governing elections of members of Congress are then cited. FOSTER'S RESPONSE.

Albany, July Senator Foster of the Senate caucus committee addressed a letter to to tbe stalwart committee as follows: "I am in receipt this morning of your communication of yesterday. For the reasons and with the personal reservations expressed in tbe two recenct letters to Senator McCarthy I am ready to unite with such other members of the caucus committee as are willing to sign a call for a caucus of Republican members of the legislature. I will sign such a call for this afternoon, this evening or tomorrow, if presented to me in time to give notice to members. HOUSE COMMITTEE TO THE SENATE COMMITTEE. The following has been sent to the Senate Republican Caucus Committee to-night: State of New Tork, Assembly Chamber, July 12, Hon.

Dennis McCarthy, Hon. Geo. H. Foster, and Hon. W.

W. Rockwell, Senate Republican Caucus Gents: In compliance with the request contained in the enclosed communication to the chairman and members of the Republican caucus committe of the Senate and Assembly, we respectfully urge your committee to join the undersigned in a call for caucus for tbe Republicans membets of the legislature to be held at the assembly chamber Thuisday July 14th, at 8 in the evening, for the purpose of nominating two candidates to be voted for to fill the vacancies now existing in the representation of this State in the senate of the United Btates. The method of calling a caucus by individual members associating themselves together, has not been resorted to except upon the failure of the constituted authorities to perform their duty. We indulge in the hope that the honorable members of the Senate committee will not seek to enforce the authority of the recent conference or caucus on the ground that they have neglected for weeks to exercise the only functions committed to them in their creation. Such neglect is the sole cause of the present deadlock.

The conference or caucus above referred to was not open and free to all Republican members because of the contingency which made it possible for a large number to attend did not occur till the assembling of such conference or caucus, which then proceeded in contiuous session to make nominations. Awaiting a reply we remain with respect, your obedient servants, G. W. Sharpb, E. A.

Carpenter, J. E. Gillette, A. G. Draper, Of tbe Assembly Republican Caucus Committee.

No new developments to-night, beyond the request made by the Assembly caucus committee to the Senate caucus committee to join In a call for a caucus Thursday evening. Both sections seem to stand firm, though there Is evidently an undercurrent at work which will break the deadlock in a manner little expected. WISCONSIN GREENBACKERS.
