He has been in New York with his family since the 11th instant. It is not unlikely that he will enter into the political campaign in Virginia during his leave of sixty days absence. Tre ILLNEss or Mr. Rieos.—Mr. G. W. Riggs slept well last night, under the influence of mor- phia, and was reported this morning as being much refreshed. A gentleman who Is familiar with the case says to-day that Mr. Riggs’ con- dition is critical. Diep IN THE West.—The Secretary of War was to-day advised of the death of Lieut. Jas.

Tue SIBERIAN CATTLE PLAGUE IN Russta.— Consul General Stanton reports from St. Peters- burg, July 19th, to the State department as fol- lows: “I have the honor to inform you that from time to time during the last fortnight the local journals have announced the appearance of the Siberian cattle plague in the governments adjoining that of St. Petersburg. As yet the disease, although steadily increasing, has not spread to an alarming extent. According to telegrams to the Golos, the local governments have taken, although somewhat tardily, the necessary measures for isolating the infected districts. The same paper states that the lack of veterinary assistance and the unwillingness of the peasants to comply with sanitary regula- tions are great obstacles to a speedy eradication ofthe plague. It is also reported that in some localities the peasants, to save at least the skin, foolishly flayed the dead animals, whereby they contributed to the spread of the disease, and were in many instances themselves infected with the plague, which in some cases proved fatal. According to the latest reports no head- way has been made against the disease. Navat Orpsrs.— Ensign Cameron McR. Winslow to duty on the coast survey. Master John W. Stewart from the coast survey steamer Gedney and placed on waiting orders. Midship- man Wm. S. Boanaugh from the Tennessee and ordered to the coast survey steamer McArthur.

The re- mains will then be placed in the vault at Mount Olivet cemetery, besides those of the late Peru- vian minister, who died about fouryears ago.

Steady Improvement of the Patient, —— ee The President to-day at noon was no worse than when the noon bulletin was issued yester- day. Last night, however, was a troubled one with the President. His sleep was broken, and the fever which comes on at night did not sub- side until this morning. This the doctors have an explanation for. It appears that the dress- ing of the wound last night was not as thorough as it should have been. A quantity of pus was retained, and to this is ascribed the unfavorable night. “A small angle of the wound was not cleansed as it should have been” is the way @ Cabinet officer put the case this morning to ex- Secretary Bristow. OMicial Bulletin—8:30 a.m. THE PRESIDENT EXPRESSES HIMSELF AS FEELING BETTER. The President did not sleep as well as usual during the early part of the night. After mid- night, however, his sleep was refreshing, and only broken at long intervals.

OapenspurG, N.Y., August 13.—A terrible acci- dent occurred on the Grand Trunk railway at 30 o’clock this morning, which resulted in the in- stant death of the engineer, the serious wound- ing of the fireman, baggagemaster, two express- men and various injuries toa number of pas- sengers. Thertrain was the 10 p. m. express from Montreal to Toronto, end consisted of six Pullman sleepers, four first and second class cars, 8 postal, express and baggage car. The cars were well filled with returning excursionists from Montreal, who were nearly allasleep. The train arrived at Prescott Junction on time, and the Ottowa sleeper was there attached to it. After leaving Prescott there is a down grade, and soon.the train was going fast. An obstruction was encountered and the locomotive jumped the track, carrying the tender, baggage, mail, express, smoking and two passenger cars with it. They ran on the ‘The President has been cheerful and easy {ties fully a thousand yardsjwhen the engine during the morning, and his temperature has fallen a little more thana degree and a half since the morning bulletin was issued.

Private Secretary Brown says that the President is decidedly better at the present time than he has been during the past forty-eight hours, and that the fever apparently continues to decrease. day is extremely oppressive, but the President’s apartments are kept comfortable by means of the cooled air which is forced into’ them, the temperature being about 80. Gen. Swaim just said that the President is better now than he was at the same time yesterday, his pulse now being below one hundred and his temperature about 99. AT THREE O'CLOCK THIS AFTERNOON the doctors renewed their assurance that the President was doing well. They, of course, do not deny that he is exceedingly weak, but they do say that when the rally comes it will be per- manent, and from thenceforward the improve- ment will be marked and noteworthy. The President is sald to be in excellent spirits. THE CONSULTING SURGEONS, One of the wild rumors on the street was that Dr. Agnew had been telegraphed for to come here at once. This arose probably from the fact that this morning a dispatch was sent to Dr. Agnew asking him when it would be convenient for him to come. It appears that Mrs. Garfield is exceedingly anxious that one or the other consulting physicians should be here all the time. Dr. Hamilton wishes to definitely fix cer- tain business engagements, and it is for this reason the telegram was sent Dr. Agnew asking when he could conveniently come. It is ex- pected he will be here to-morrow night, in which case Dr. Hamilton will at once return to New li York. ‘WILD STREET RUMORS. To-day, after the morning bulletin was issued, Rev.

Howarth, of Montreal, was found with his arm around the whistle of the locomotive, hav- ing blown it twice before he was killed. The fireman, Wm. Taylor, of Montreal, was discovered in a field alive, but insensible. Robt. Scarlet, of Montreal, a baggage master, was also insensible, but soon recovered. His shoulder was dislocated and his arm sprained. How the two express messengers, Arthur King, of Toronto, and Wm. Mackenzie, of Hamilton, eaéaped with their lives is a mystery. Their ear was crushedto splinters, and MacKenzie, though injured him- self, bravely rescued his partner. Both are in- jared internally. The second-class passengers were badly shaken up. They escaped through the windows of the upset cars. A Brench wo- man threw her two children through a window. first breaking it with her hands, cutting hersel severely. 8.

Lonpon, August 18.—In the House of Com- mons last night Mr. Ritchie (conservative) moved an address to thecrown praying the Queen to withhold her consent from any com- mercial treaty with France which shall substi- tute specific for ad valorem duties in any wa: impeding British manufactures and which shall bind England for more than one year. This is the reconnoissance of the conservative proteet- ionists, intended as a prelude to demonstra- tions in the provinces. during the reeess of par- liament. Mr. Ritchie pointed out that free trade had made no progress abroad, and that at home there was a growing feeling that much of the present depression in trade was owing to our commercial policy, though he held that pro- tection was of no avail for our manufactures. He insisted that steps ought to be taken to save them from exclusive foreign markets, Sir Chas. Dilke, under foreign secretary, op- posed the motion but re; That the govern- ment would not pepet ies to any treaty preju- dicial to British .
