Doctor Bliss says in making his comparison he takes the day as an entirety and not the parts ofaday. He feels certain that when the President fully rallies from the shock of Monday's operation his con- | valesence will be notably rapid. The fever which comes on each evening ts the usual surgical fever. Every evening after the wound is dressed an examination is had for the bulletin. The new wound is still very painful to the touch and its dressing annoys the patient. It is usually d that an hour after the bulletin is issued r subsides. Doctor Bliss says it is not nitten fever, as has been suggested, nor has it any malarial type. The contents of the letter written yesterd: the President to his mother have not been disclosed. It was, how- ever, a letter of good cheer and hope. DURING THIS MORNING Mrs. Garfield read some to the President from newspapers, and it did not seem to weary him. THE CONSULTING SURGEONS. Tt is not definitely known when Dr. Agnew will return. Possibly not until sent for, and if the President continues to impreve he may not be further needed. Dr. Hamilton will remain until Saturday night. It Is natural that the attending physicians ! feel exercised over the criticisms published | j touching their treatment of the case.

The above bulletin shows that the President’s pulse has not increased between 7 a.m. and 12 m., a8 on yesterday. Yesterday it went upeight beats between these hours. There is, however, an increased temperature from 98.6 to 99.3. This, however, excites no alarm. In every way the President is represented to be improved. THE TALK OF REMOVING THE PRESIDENT to a healthier locality is again revived. At the Soldiers’ Home the presidential cottage is all ready for occupancy. The repairs to the U.S. steamer Tallapoosa are also nearly complete. There is no doubt but that as soon as the Presi- dent has sufficient strength he will be removed from where he now is. The rank weeds on the flats of the Potomac begin to ripen about this time of the year, and the effluvia therefrom reaches the White House. When removed it is highly probable that a sea voyage will be the program. FITTING UP THE TALLAPOOSA FOR THE PRESIDENT'S TRIP. The U.S.S. Tallapoosa, which has been under- going repairs and fitting out for sea during the past month, pas been thoroughly completed and will be manned to-morrow. Assistant Paymas- ter Henry D. Smith, formerly of the Dispatch, has been transferred to the Tallapoosa. In con- versation this morning, Mr. Smith gave a de- scription of the manner in which the vessel has been fitted out. A suite of rooms has been pre- pared expressly for the use of President Garfield in the event of its being found practicable to take him out on the water, when he becomes sufficiently strong to warrant his being moved fromthe Executivemanaion. areenlt cone four comparatively rooms ing @ chamber, pease sat aute room, and a bath room.

BAD WEATHER FOR MAKING OBSERVATIONS—THE AUGUST METEORS. “The weather is not auspicious,” said Prof. Eastman to-day when a Star reporter asked him for news about the new comet. “There is a dearth of news about comets.” Under favor- able conditions the comet might be visible to the \ naked eye now, but, with cloudy skies, or a hazy atmosphere, there is no chance of finding it. “Wednesday night was the night which, ac- cording to tradition, was to witness a shower of meteors. It is at this point of the earth’s orbit, that the earth is supposed to pass through the August meteoric belt. As a Matter of fact, however, on account of the slow motion of this immense nebulous mass around the sun, the date at which the meteors can be expected is constantly but slowly growing earlier. There may, however, be little percept- ible difference in one year. ’ There was a me- teoric display on the morning of Monday, so far, been soe which has, unrecorded. It is believed now _ th: these were the August meteors, which syonared earlier this year for the reasons given. Mr. Hor- rigan, the watchman on duty at the Observatory that morning, observed the display and reported the facts to the astronomers. He counted 88 meteors within a short time. +e District Government. Affairs, 3 P.M.—THE PRESIDENT DOING ‘WELL. Since the 12:30 p.m. bulletin.there has been no material change in the President's condition. At this hour he is doing very-well. There is no more fever than was noted at the last official bulletin, and the patient is resting quietly. The febrile rise to-night it is not ex; will reach as great a height as last night. The doctors think by to-morrow all the indications will be most assuring. Doctor Bliss this afternoon still suffers with his hand and feels quite under the weather. Reports were in circulation that he was quite sick. This is not so. He is, however, much jaded, and the pain attendant upon the pus poisoning is quite acute. A PERSONAL FRIEND OF THE PRESIDENT. Among those who called at the White House to-day was Representative Dunnell, of Minne- sota. Mr. Dunnell and the President served to- getheron the ways and means committee, and they are warm friends.

Assistant Secretary of State Hitt eent the fol- lowing telegram to Minister Lowell at 9 o'clock last evening :—‘ The President's condition and progress continue substantially the same this evening as yesterday.” THE PRESIDENT WRITERS TO HIS MOTHER. The President wrote a letter yesterday. It was to his mother, and brief. In it he spoke cheerfully of himself, and badeher to keep in good cheer, saying that he felt better, and thought he would recover. It was addressed and mailed by Mrs. Gartield. Se Death of Mr. Wm. B. Reed. Mr. W. B. Reed, whose illness has been men- tioned in Tue Star from time to time, was sink- ing rapidly to-day. The members of his family, who were assembled at his residence, on K street. between 19th and 20th streets, this afternoon, were expecting his death hourly. He has been unconscious for many hours, and the attending physicians give his friends no reason for the slightest hope. Mr. Reed was born in Washing- ton on the 2¢ of June, 1945. - His birthplace was the house at the southwest corner of 13th and F streets. Subsequently his family moved to the corner of 14th and F streets, where sey- eral years 6f his youth were spent. He finished his education in Baltimore, grad- uating at the Baltimore Commercial Col- lege. Returning to this city, he was em- ployed some time as a clerk inthe Paymaster General's Office, U.S.A. Resigning this office, he became a member of the firm of B. W. Reed & Sons, grocers, becoming a partner with his father, the late Bushrod W. Reed, and his brother Richard. At the death of hts father, which gecurred Noyember 9th, 1875, the firm Rame was changed to B. W. Reed’s Sons, and the business was continued by the sons. Mr.W. | B. Reed has been most activé and successful asa | business man, and prominent as a citizen in all | public movements. He has been a director in | the Citizen’s National Bank since it was estab- lished. He is also a director in the Columbia Street Railroad company, of which organiza- | tion he was chosen vice president at the last | election. He was one of the founders of the | National Fair Association, and isa member of | the board of directors. He was appointed a| member of the Board ot Fire Commissioners | by Gov.

After the Patent office fire in 1877, he was appointed by Secretary Schurz as a member of the commission to investigate the fire. On| pay every public occasion he has been chosen to fill some important post. He married a daughter of Mr. C. A. Schneider, June 7, 1866, and has three children, his eldest’ (a boy) ‘being 14 years old. He is greatly beloved by his family, and very popular with every one.

MAXIMO JEREZ FOUND DEAD ARRAN Senor General Maximo Jerez, the Nicaraguan minister, was found dead last evening, at his rooms, No. 1700 L_ street northwest. He went out visiting yesterday, and returned home ap- parently in good health and spirits. About four o'clock he complained of dizziness, which he thought was caused by too constant reading. He retired to his room, and was not seen again until Mrs. Blancoe, his landlady, went to call him to dinner at six o'clock. She found him seated by the window, with his head resting on his arm, bis other hand holding a newspaper, which he had evidently been reading. Noticing that he appeared strangely, Mrs. Blancoe called for help. Her father immediately re- sponded, and on undertakii to raise the general, found him lead. Gen.

He was an accomplished scholar and his society was courted. He leaves a widow and three children. Coroner Patterson and Dr. Hartigan made a post-mortem examination’ at the house at ten o'clock this morning, and decided that death resulted from fatty degen ion of the heart.

We are assured that is a very fine country, capable of immense agricultural de- velopments. The grades of such a route would be much lighter than those on the Union Pacific, and ally as easy of construction. We expect to build a line through that country forabout one- third of what the Union Pacific cost. At Yank- ton, of course, we would connect with the whole eastern system of reads, all of which will be willing to unite with us and do business on the best terms. We would prefer not to build such a line, preferring to’ be in harmony with the Union Pacific people and do business, as was intended by act of Congress, forming ‘the two companies, but at the same time we propose to be on the defensive in case of any antagonism to protect our interests, and those of our constit- uents. Mr. Huntington states there is no dif- ficulty in raising the capital to carry out this enterprise, and we intend to aed it out, pro- viding the combination spoken of is perfe and attempt to carry out its project as re- ported.
