C., Aug. 13.—The an- nouncement that-the President had a fever gave rise to another general feeling of un- easiness throughout the city. Jt was evi- dent, howeyer, that this feeling was not shared by the surgeons and attendants of the President. Dr. Bliss, who is up again, and went to the White House this morning, said there was no cause fur alarm in the President's condition. He said that be would a health would fhe condi- on the President getting well right along without any more unfavorable change: that the case would fluctuate, and the fever this morning was one of these tluctuations, which might be, expécted until the President gets on his feet’ athe surgeons sity THE PEVER OF THs MOR: Jast night were caused by retained pus; that they had taken out the drainage tube to Jet the walls. of the wound collapse and heal; thatiu washing the wound outlast night some little cavity was not thoroughly cleansed, and the retention of ihat small amount of pus caused the rise of temperature. They say thay the presence of even athimbleful of pus in the wound will cause fever. Dx Bliss said the wound was thoroughly cleansed this morning, and the Jeverat once subsided, that there was no cause for alarm, and that the Presigent cer- tainly would be better to-morrow. AGNEW AND HAMILTON. To-day. Dr. Agnew was telegraphed for, Dut the President’s surgeons say it was not bdecause he is specially wanted. They say they telegraphed to know when it would be convenient for him to come, as Dr. Hamilton wants to go away, and wants Agnew to re- lieve him. DR. BLISS. Inreply toa question regarding his own condition, Dr. Bliss said he had been quite sick last night, and had taken considerable medicine, which had acted favorably, andLe felt much better this morning. THE BEST DAY SINCE MONDAY. Executive Maysr Wasnixeroy, D. C., Aug. 13—11 p. m.—The progress of the President's case to-day, the attending physi- cians say, has been better than any day since Monday Jast, Dr, Bliss is particularly san- guine to-night in expressious regarding the condition of the President. He is better to- night, Dr. Bliss says, than he has been any night for several nights past, and considers the outlook better now than at. any pre- vious time. He does not pretend to know what may happen, but, barring accidents, he thinks continued progress may be. ex- pected. ‘ Dr. Reyburn says he observed marked ha- provement in the case to-day, and that the President is much better to-night. He ex- peets steady improvement now, and sees nothing to hinder favorable progress. DR. WAMILTON, > when interrogated to-night regarding the progress of the President to-day, would only say, The President continue?to do well.” At this hour no material change is re- ported in the President's condition since the “issuance of the evening bulletin. The mem- - bers of the President’s household, wi exception of watchers in the sick-room, have retired. and all the aitending physicians, with the exception of Dr. Reyburn, have re- paired to their respective homes to pass the night. Dr. Hamilton, who has important private matters demanding his presence in New York, left for home at 10 o'clock to-night. Dr. Agnew, who had intended to come to Washington Sunday evening, has been re- quested by telegraph to hasten. his arrival. He will leave Philadelphia early in the morning, aud is expected to reach here about 10 o’clock to-morrow forenoon. (MATTERS IN GENERAL. COMPARISONS. WasaincTon, D.

THE WIDOW’S COUNT. Social Sensation at Long Branch—How an Adventurer Got the Best of a Con- tidings Woman. Special Dispatch to Cincinnatt Enquirer. Lone Braxcu, Aug. 1L.—Count Arnett Anderson, as he ‘called himself, who was about to become the husband of Mrs. Nor- dell, the widow of the well-known florist at Long Branch, suddenly left her and her children in New York on Thursday last, and has not been neard of since.. He went with two of the children to the oflice of a trans- atlantic steamship company to purehase tickets for the entire family, who believed that they Were going to Europe, there tore side on the estate of the Count. He sent the citildren back to their mother at the hotel with the message: A “Tell wamma that my brother in Chicago is dead, and] must go there at once. She ean £0 back to Long Branch, or stay at the hotel until 1 come back.” Mrs. Nordell made an active search for Anderson immediately, but he could not be found. Telegrams have been sent to Europe and the prinefpal cities of the United States to intercept him. It scems that since the death of Mr. Nor- dell, about two years ago, the business of supplying bouquets and cut-tlowers to the hotels at Long Brangh has been carried on by his widow, and Nindsome profits were mafie last season. Anderson, who was diszuised as a tramp, being, as he said, an exile from hls father- land, “obtained employment at Mrs. Nordell’s conservatory. He had a luxuriant mustache, was nearly six feet tall, had a Louis Napo- Jeon face and figure, and most attractive manners and speech. He helped alta Nor- dell to make bouquets, and was liked by the girls, who came in carriages to the conserva- tory to purchasethem. Everybody calledhim the Count. Finally he persuaded the widow to anecept his hand in marriage, and to relinquish her business here and go to live on his estate | in Germany. So Mrs. Nordeil leased the gardens for five years aud gave themoney to the Count. _ He also collected all of the cash bilis due, and gotsome' in advance. Then he appeared on Ocean avenue as a Count of the Persian Empire, elegantly dressed, mt always with a primrose in the upper left- hand buttonhole of his driving-coat. -It- is said that Mrs. Nordcll placed all of her ready. cash in his hands Jast week, when they went to New York en-route for Berlin. Mrs. Nordell and her children have taken apartments ina small house jn Second ave- nue. Anderson has deprived her of her money, clothing, and iweans of subsistence. ‘There is great sympathy felt for her here. a MICHAEL ARNOLD. DEAD. Michael Arnold, an old and esteemed citi- zen of Blue istand, Gvok County, died Friday evening of dropsy,.after an illness of some duration, at his residence. Ue was aman who, during 2 Iong and active career, has filled many offices of public trust, and has ever been found ‘ta good and faithful serv- ant? Mr. Arnold was a native of Jesse Darmstadt, where he was born, in the town of Sulzchet, Marcel 16, "1809. He came to America in the year 1855, while still a young man, aud engaged in farming pursuits, st- taining, by dint of thrift and perseverance, a moderate sufficiency which justified him in secking a partner in life. Ue was jwarried in Baltimore, and after Mill, Whites for some ¥ cago. in the fall of ISIS, and w farming bi juiring some property and establishing himself in “the estimation of his fellow-citizens as a sound and rei success(ul man. He was_ chose! her of the old Board of Supervisor: Nun which he filled with eredit, and ie ae at va imes, held other publi¢ positions iu the gift of the people. In 1869 he moved to Blue Island, where he has devoted him- self successfully to. his favorit occupation, that of farming. Ar. Arnold was.very much esteenied by all his neighbors and friends as an upright. honest man. ‘The funeral will ke phice Monday at_2 o'clock p.m. The train leaves the Rock Island depot at-12 ES a Wheat Vessels at San Francisco.

REAT BRITAIN. A REVOLUTION IN MARINE ALCHITECTURE. Spectal Cable. Loxvox, Aug. 13.—Ihe Geneva corre- spondent of the Times telegraphs as follows: “Prof, Roone Picket, who has been gi his attention lately to marine architecture, announces a discovery which, if anticipa- tions are realized, will effect a revolution in the art ot shipbuilding. The overy con- sists ofanew method of construction and such resistance of the water to the lowest possible point. Vessels builtin the fashion devised by Picket, instead of sinking their prows in the water as the speed inereases, will rise out the - water the faster they go, in such a, way that the only parts exposed to the friction of the water will be the sides of the’ lull and the ‘} neighborhood of the wheel. In other words, ships thus constructed, instead of push- ing their way through the water, will glide over it. According to the Pro- fessor’s calculations, in the accuracy of which he has the fullest contidence, steam- ers built after this design will attain 2 speed of fgom fifty to sixty kilometres an hour. A. model steamer is in the course of construction on the principle which he bas discovered at Geneva. The machinery has been ordered at Winterthur. When it is ready the new yessel will makea trial trip on Lake Leman.” A NOVEL CLAIM. * The Saturday Revicweputs forth a novel claim to-day. In speaking of the Electric Exhibition at Paris it says: “Leaving out of the question the fact that electricity as a science owes more to England than any other nation, v cannot help stretching a point ortwo to¥elaim for our- selyes the highest place in. its -practical application. Covk and Wheatstone are undoubtedly Englishmen, and Sir Will- Jam Thompson is: a Scotchman. Bell, though a naturalized American citi- zen, is a Scotchman by parentage, and we elaim him. Prof. Hughes, though an American, is domiciled in England, and, despising logic, we claim: him also. With- out wishing to disparage Mr. Edison’s work, there isno doubt that Mr. Swan, who is an Englishman, is the originator of practical lighting by incandescence.” THE POLITICAL PROSPECT is seriously troubled. The Lords’ action ex- cited surprise and incurred general con- demnation. ‘They rejected the Commons’ amendments with a contemptuous alacrity characteristic of Lord Salisbury’s leader- ship, and what was predicted by inost poli- ticians on his appointment. The Commons treated the Lords’ amendments with reason- able’ consideration. ‘Their large majority justified’the universal expectation that Lord Salisbury would content himself with ver- bal alterations, and yield to the popular Chamber. Yesterday the Lords met at Lord Salisbury’s house, and decided to stand reso- lutely by the ameudments. Last night they conceded a few insignificant points, but the bill stands practically the same as when last sent to the Commons. THE CRISISYS SERIOUS. ‘The two Houses aro in conflict and the Political world is discussing how the difii- culty may be overcome. -‘The bitterness of the Lords places serious obstucles in the way of their retreat, and on the other hand Mr. Gladstone has nailed his colors to the mast for some of the amendments, and, after the Lords’ tinkering of the act of 1870 and con- sidering the popular will, it is incredible that the Government will make substantial con- cessions. Informal negotiations between the leaders before Monday may improve the prospects, At present = tle —bill is in jeopardy. Supposing ue Government is compelled to drop the bill, their obvious course at their autuun session isto pass it before Christinas. Should the Lords still resist, Mr. Gladstone would then resign and leave Lord Salisbury to form a Governinent. - This involves dissolution. It is incredible that such a proceeding should be resorted to within eighteen months of a general election, and Lord Salisbury Redesdale’s Jast year. ‘The only conceivable svlution is ultimate submission. The morn- ing papers without exception condemn the attitude of the Lords. ‘The ‘Limes considers ‘that Lord Salistitry incurs a responsibility from which a bold- er man would == shrink, and. whiich aw prudent statesman would decline. The Standard says the popular House searcely received coinmon civility, and that it was not by such tactics that Lord Beaconstield con- structed and kept a party together. 1t con- siders that Lord Salisbury has fulfilled the hopes of his worst enemies, and interprets the general sentiment of public opinion as DISAPPOINTMENT AND REGRET. The Datly News rezards it as impossible that a league of landlords any more than a league of tenants will be permitted to settle the matter their own way. The country, it says, Will respond to Lord Salisbury’s chal- lenge. The Pall Mall Gazette considers Lord untenable Sosition is like an arrangement of keel as will diminish the | Salisbury’s action as preliminary to capituta- | .andall the acrimony of his latter days, and. jon, and that the collision hecourts v Profit. the revolutionary party, whom he dreads.

Mr. Gosehen, Mr, Brand, and others in the Rouse of Commons declined tu follow a course en: couraging tho Lords to resistance. Mr. Goschen stigmatized the ‘Tory opposition in-the Lower House as asliun. ‘fhe Duke of Argyll last night withdrew from bpposition to the bill, and Lord Lansdowne also gen- erally siipported thé Government. ‘To-day’s Cabinet Couueil, it is understood, decided neither to yield important points nor to dis: solve Parliament.

THE CACKLE OF THE Lonps. z Mr. Disracli said in one of his novels that when the Lords accomplish anything they eackle as though they bad laid an egg. Their Lordships have good ISON. to eackle. just .uow. ‘The stey they have taken in throwing out the most sweeping clauses of the Land bill has net ouly created great excitement in the political world, but stirred the country from end to end. Men see that the battle between the Democracy and the Plutocracy is at hand, and there is an uncomfortable feeling abroad that grave. politi and perhaps constitu- tional, changes are imminent! Mr. Glad- stone, who had along interview last night with Lord Granville and Lord Carlingford, his Lieutenants in the Lords, gave them lib- erty to say that HE WILL NOT YIELD A IAT in this struggle, and that he, w opportunity of “calfing the attention of tho country to the fact that the work of an entire session of a vast majority of the people’s Tepresentatives cau be. destroyed in a few hours by the “Upper House. The Brmingham caucus—the headquarters of Boroush Radicalism—has already dis- patehed a swarin of stump-speakers into the midiand counties and the North to ery “Down with the oligarchy.” Mr. Bright, sniffing the battle, has written letters intended for publication in’ which he assails the Lords with all the vehemence of his early the Democratic League, headed by Mr. Joseph Cowen, of Neweastle, is’ sending out tons of that peculiar literature with which THE ADVANCED LADIC, flood the country in election times. At the Carlton and Reform Clubs the bustle reminds one of the eve uf a general election. ."To-day the trains from Scotland (where the grouse shooting, which opened on the 12th, is unusu- ally good) brought nearly « hundred mem- bers of both Llouses, who have been dragged from the breezy moors of Perth and Aberdeen to participate in a final struggle over the bill of which, after some months of hard work, they thought they had got rid. Everything betokens an eventful cainpaign. The Duke of Argyll (who, by the way, was married _to- day to Mrs. Anson, daughter of the Bishop of St. Albans, and niece of the Earl of Dud- Jey) is denounced by the Radical press as the instigator of THE OBSTRUCTIVE POLICY OF TITE LORDS, and it certainly does seem thatas if to pre- pare himself for. marrying into a Tory family he had done his best to wreck the Ministry which he had deserted. It is said, indeed, that the Duke is so incensed against the Government that he has written to the Marquis of Lorne recommending him to resign the Governor-Generalship of Canada, so that the house of Argyll may not be be- holden in any respect to the Ministry of the day.* The Duke’s speeches against the bill in the Lords were strong haranges, but his Grace is nota powerful speaker. Lord Houghton, in proposing his health, once said the Duke was only 17 years old when he wrote « pamphlet entitled “ ADVICE To THE PEERS,” and that he had been advising them: ever since. lis speeches are extremely dogmatic, aud marred by the “Now, my. brethren, .I come to the sixteenth and last thesis ”” style which he has .inherited from Tresbyterian ancestors and absorbed from the Kirk homiletics. But his Grace has greatly influenced weak-backed: Whigs in the Upper Mouse who were halt afraid to vote against the bill, and the Radi- cals hold him responsible for the Whig de- fection in that Chamber. ‘The Marquis of Salisbury has from ihe first been in favor of making a last stand for the “rights of property” on this bill. Years ago he de- elared that, hg would rather see the House’ of Lords abolished than compelled to snbinit year after year to measures of which it dis- approved, and there is good reason to believe that he means to fight it out on that line. Lord. Ca the evolest and most far-seeIng man in the Upper House, WAS IN FAVOR OF YIELDING, but the impetuous policy carried all before it at the Lords’ caucus on Friday. Lord Salis- bury thinks the “hour has struck for the tight that.is to determine the fate not only. of the House of Lords, but of the squirearchy and the property class whieh it represents, and his followers will fight with the desperation of men in their last ditch. But there can be only one result.

Lord Salisbury is ee? and full .of light, but gladiators of iis calibre are hope- leslyéputelassed in acontest with Mr. Glad- stone, Should the conference between the two Houses fail, Mr. Gladstone will call an autimn session, introducing a still stronger and inure sweeping bill and bid the Lords re- ject itat their veril.

One special. feature of the new American cables attracts much attention here, and is very favorably commented on by business men. They are the first transatlantic cables which have been landed in England. The two so-called English cables, controlled by the Pender globe-girdling monopoly are in fact Irish cables. One of them is landed at Valentia and the other at Ballin- skelligs, in Ireland. The two French cables are landed at Brest, from whieh point they connect with London by smali eables under the Channel and land lines from Plymouth. It results from this that ‘messages by the evxisting cables must undergo transmission there by the new American cables. ‘he direct cable messages are. subject to four transmis - ses to five trans- ions, the Ol Anglo. messages to four transmissions, and the Pouyer Quertier messages to five transmissions. The new American Cable messages, being landed directly at Whitesand Bay, in Corn- wall, will undergo but three transmissions, and for the first time, therefore, London and New York will be put into what may be ealled reatly direct communication by the new American enterprise. WIDESPREAD ALAR: ‘The stand taken by the Lords against the Lagd dill. has) qeated widespread. alarm through the Ministerial ranks. ‘The attitude and conversation of members in the lobbi today are both most instructive. Mir terialists of ali shades had lost the jaunting, attistied air which distinguishes them in ession and looked anxious. ‘he Irish igs wore truly rueful countenances, while the ringing lauzhter from groups of Parnellite members gave proof that for one section the word “Dissolution” had uno ter- rors. On every tongue, the question was, What will be the outcome? Each solved the problem according to his fear or desire. The possibility of a dissolu- tion was received with marked disfavor, both by Liberals and Radieals, on the ground that the Government majority was so great and the Parliament so young that nothing could be gained by AN APPEAL TO THE COUNTRY, while much might be lost by the growth of the * fair-trade? inovement among the work- ing classes. It was pointed out that the Par- nellites were the only party certain to profit by the dissolunon of Parliament, while the Liberals ran great risk of loss without any hope of improving their position. This is made evident by the examination of the present constitution of the Commons. ‘Three hundred a ang thirty-seven members are professed Liberals} 240 are Conservatives, and sixty-three are nominal Home-Rulers, twelve seats are vacant, and’ six constit- uencies disfranchised. The Ministry, there- fore, HAS ONLY THIRTY-FOUR MAJORITY, minus the Speaker and Mr. Dradlaugh, over the combined Tory and Home-Rule vote. In @ general clection this narrow majority would almost certainly disappear, while there is a probability that the Parnellites would return with a compact body , of seventy-cight extremists. Mr, Parnell would then hold the balance of power in the House. "This danger is recognized on ali sides, but probably will nut deter Lord Salisbury from carrying out his policy. Rumors are, indeed, circulating that tot . 01. TE LORDS WILL GIVE TN,” but no intelligible: reason is assigned there- for. Except for these rumors there is no Ea sign that the Lords mean to haul down their flag. On the contrary, their. attitude on Friday night was defiant in the extreme, and if it siould turn out that they were merely playing a.game of brag they will have dam- aiged’ their authority with the country more scriously than aby amount of Radical denunciation could have damaged it, 1. is difficult to believe thata public body of the intelligence and dignity of ‘the Mouse of Loras would provoke a grave political crisis like the present inerely for the purpose of wringing some slight concessions on matters of detail from a reluctant Govern- ment, and if taey have not done so 2compro: mise becomes impossible unless the Govern ment is-prepared to abandon some z VITAL PART OF THE BILL, every provision of which they have over and over again declared to be essential to a satis- factory solution gf the Jand question.

TE LORDS’ EXCUSE. @ To the Weatern Associated Press. Aug. 15.—The reasons stated by the Commitiee of the House of Lords for dis- agreeing with the Commons on the aimend- ment ty the Land bill are mostly a para- phrase of the arguments in the debate on the amendment limiting the amount of com- pensation for disturbance. They propose x seale by whiclt it shall in no case exceed £500. Relative to Parnell’s amendment pro- viding for a suspenion of providings against tenants, they declare it would be unjust to creditors to postpone recovery of just debts. THE ANGLO-FRENCI TREATY. ‘In the House of Commons last night Mr. Ritchie, Conservative, moved an address to the Crown praying the Queen to withhold her consent from any commercial treaty with France which shall substitute specific fo valorem duties in any way injuring British mauutactures, and which shall bind Ei gland for more than one year. This isa reeonnoissance of +the Conservative pro- tuctionists, and is intended asa prelude to demonstrations in the provinces during the recess of Parliament. Mr. Ritchie pointed out that free-trade had made no progress abroad, and at home there was a growing feeling that much of the present depression in trade was owing to onrcommercial policy. ‘Though he held that PROTECTION WAS OF NO AVAIL. for our manufacturers, he insisted that steps ought ty be taken to save them from ex- clusion fron@foreign markets. Dike, Under Foreigsn Seeretary, opposed the motion, but repeated that the Govern- ment would hot approve of any treaty preju- dicial to British trade. Jle then quoted s tv show that the trade of the coun- try was increasing, and, in regard to the policy of retaliation, he pointed ont that a large portion of our imports from France Were artieles of food, and that whatever might be dehisions abroad, the country could not tole- rate the imposition of duties on food. After some discussion Ritchie’s motion was nega- tived, 150 to 80. Tine “rrites,” 5 in editorially commenting on the refusal’ of the House of Lords to recede from its amend- ments to the Land bill, regards the settle- ment of the questions at issue as likely to fol- low a formal conference of the party leaders, nothwithstanding the defiant attitude of Lord Salisbury. The writer declares that the Ministry, supported as it is by a-compact majority in the Tlouse of Commons, cannot be expected to yield; that in the event of tue House being unable to give etfect to its policy, the. Ministry’ would have to resign; Salisbury would be sum- moned to undertake the Government, and. even if able to form a Ministry, he would be compelled to dissolve Parliament in the hope of overthrowing the Liberal majority in the Ilouse vf Commons. It is suggested that even a bolder man than Salisbury. might shrink from such an undertaking. THE SPALL MALL TE” this evening says: ‘The situation is serious, —we might even say dangerous,—but that itis difficult to eredit the Peers with sufficient folly to persist in precipitating a. constitu- tional crisis. If they persist in resolute hos- tility, the whole work of the session will be ificed, Ireland will be convulsed with il war, and agitation will be started in favr of a revision of the Constitution, which will have stronger consequences than they probably imagine.” E Commenting on the remarks that have beén made concerning the lack of signs of popular indignation at tne action of the Lords, the Palt Matt Gazette concludes as foliows: “Much as we dislike the recognition of mon- ster meetings and torchlight processions as a necessary adjunct to our Constitution and machinery, it isevident that they only area check on Conservative Peers. the time is Mirabeau of our days: Tnasmueh as xeneral elections will also take place in’ Spaiir-Rext Sunday, the 21st inst., for the Cortes, on tha same day when France will elect her future Chamber, the French Republicans are some what embarrassed at hearing that Castelar, the Peninsular.
