Hancock, at his headquarters at Gover- nor’s Island, New York, yesterday received a long blue envelope, which was postmarked “Washington, D.C., September 14,” and- on one corner of which was stamped, in heavy. black letters, ‘official business.” The general opened the envelope and found it contained the charges and specifications against Sergeant Ma- son, the soldier who shot at and attempted to kill Charles J. Guiteau. Upon perusing the doc- ument Gen. Hancock had a consultation with Col. Mitchell, of his staff, and it was decided to have a trial by court-martial in Mason’s case at an early day, but the exact date was not fixed upon. The charges and specifications are ac- companied by an official copy of the order directe ing the convening of the court. There are two charges, as follows: 1. Conduct prejudicial to good order and military discipline. 2. Attempting to shoot a prisoner without orders from a superior officer. The specifications to charge No.1 are to the effect that Sergeant Mason, while on duty as a guard over the prisoner at Washington, did, without good cause, discharge his musket, thereby perpetrating a breach of discipline and causing useless alarm at the post. The specifications to charge No. 2 allege that said Mason fired at Charles J. Guiteau without orders and at a time when the prisoner was not (oLvMBra FIRE I 134 F JOHN THOS. CONVINCES.

Losing Ground. THE PRESIDENT'S CONDITION TO-DAY—NOT HOLD- ING HIS OWN—A REPORTED CHANGE IN THE POLICY OF THE PHYSICIANS. Special Dispatches to THE EVENING STAR. Lone Brancu, N.J., Sept. 16, 1 p.m.—Thereis @ good deal of uneasiness at Elberon this morn- ing touching the President’s condition. Last night was a bad one, and the day opens most in- auspiciously. A northeast storm prevails. The atmosphere is muggy and exceedingly damp, ne- cessitating the closing of every window in the President's room and the keeping of a good- sized wood fire. The morning bulletin is notone to give assurance. The pulse ts still high, and at periods last night reached 120. The lung still gives great uneasiness and @ good deal more trouble. The President many times throughout the day is racked by a violent cough, broughton in his endeavor to expectorate phlegm. Then.the doctors now concede that the trouble with tne lung is one fraught with the greatest danger. A LO8S OF STRENGTH. This morning the President is not as strong as he was yesterday morning. In the past 18 hours he has not held his own, but has retro- graded. The high fever which besets him every day seems to increase rather than diminish. The discharge from the wound is unhealthy, cir- cumscribed and watery. The food which is taken doesnot assimilate, and all the general conditions are decidedly unfavorable. For the present it has been decided to defer the opera- tion upon the lungs, contemplated yesterday. although the doctors now have. the necessary appliances, ROSE-COLORED BULLETINS. From now on the official bulletins will approx- imately state the true condition of the patient’s case. This was brought about, by Drs. Agnew and Hamilton outvoting Bliss; The latter ob- Jected because the President insists upon seeing every bulletin issued, and up te yesterday morn- ing the bulletins all along, it is now conceded, have toa lesser or greater extent been rose-col- ored. There is no denying the fact that the doc- tors now reluctantly admit that the President has made no substantial progress since he was removed from Washington. He sain longs tor another change of scene, and at times expresses dissatisfaction with his quarters, It is admitted by Drs. Agnew and Boynton that he has chronic pymia, and that it may take many weeks to eliminate it from his system. THE ONLY HOPEFUL ONES. Abont the only persons at Elberon to-day who talk at all hopefully are Cols. Swaim and Rock- well. They insist that the President is better. Attorney General MacVeagh said just now, to the consternation of several journalists, that a crisis was expected within 48 hours, and that the result was awaited with great anxiety. Dr. Boynton says the President is not doing well at all; that instead of gaining he is losing; that the bed sores are again appearing,and that they are annoying. From all that can be gathered this afternoon the President seems to show the worst of all feared things, ‘“despondency.” Dr. Boynton says that while there is Kort te of further complications he is carrying a heavy load with what he has. Second A Hopeful Word from Col. Rockwell. Lone Branca, Sept. 16, 1:45 p.m:—Col. Rock- well says the President is not as well as yester- day, but that there is no appreciable change in his condition except that his wound is indoient and not healing, and the discharge is thin and insufficient. He says that his appetite, which was lost, is regained to-day, and his strength perceptibly improved this afternoon, The Morning Bulletin, NO MATERIAL CHANGE IN THE PRESIDENT’S GEN- ERAL CONDITION. By Associated Press. Evperoy, N. J., Sept. 16—9 am.—fOfticial Bulletin.]—At the examination of the President at 8:30 this morning the temperature was 98.6, pulse 104, ¥espiration 21. The febrile rise dur- ing the night was not as pronounced as it usuallyhas been. There was at times consid- erable acceleration of pulse. He, however, slept comparatively well, and took .stimulante and nourishment ae directed. The cough was somewhat more troublesome during the first part of the night and the expectoration rather more purulent. The discharge from the wound is less abundant and not quite as healthy in ap- pearance. The pulse, however, has more vol- ume, and his general condition does not seem to have eine ee in any respect. [Signed by Dre. Bliss and ilton.] Anxiety at Elberon. THE SITUATION LESS FAVORABLE THIS MORNING Exseron, N.J., Sept. 16.—10:15 a.m.—The sit- uation this morning is less rable, and grave anxiety exists as to whether President will be able to overcome the reswit of his extreme | ish securiti debility. Bedsores have again made their a) pearance, and the discharge from the wound % very unsatisfactory. ‘The President's Comdition.

The patient's mind is also very weak and shows evidences of disturbance by the continued hallucinations. These conditions are apparent throughout the day now. which indicates that the general situ- ation isless hopefal than it has of late been pictured. There is still a continuance of the suppuration of the parotid gland. A MOMENT OF EXTREME ANXIETY. On the whole the case may be summed up with the assertion that the present is a moment of extreme anxiety and devoid of sufficient ground for assuming that the patient will over- come the excessive debility, which has estab- lisheditseif. All are hopeful, however, especially Dr. Doynton, who asserts his opinion without h tation that the probabilities are that there is sufficient vitality left to override the present unfavorable symptoms; but on the other hand he is unwilling to grant that there is anything to warrant a sanguine opinon to that effect. ALLEGED REAPPEARANCE OF PERSPIRATION. Mr. C. 0. Rockwell, one of the President's at- tendants, is authority for the statement that the perspiration, which has been one of the annoy- ing features of the President's case, has reap- peared. Colonels Rockwell and Swaim, how- ever, appear to entertain a different opinion on the subject, and declare that it has not reap- peared. “The attendants upon the President say that his quarters are perfectly comfortable, and unless it should become extremely cold no apprehension is felt about keeping the cottage at a desirable temperature. In order to do this, however, it may me necessary to place a stove in the room to take the place of the grate fire. It is reliably ascertained that the Presi- dent’s pulse reached 130 during the night, not- withstanding the fact that the febrile rise was not so pronounced as it usually has been. GRAVE APPREHENSION. Exeroy, N. J., Sept. 16, 1:10 p. m.—The Pre- sident’s condition at this hour is unchanged. Attorney General MacVeagh considers the case as warranting extreme anxiety, but maintains that while there is no particular point whichcan be said to have developed to an alarming ex- The Fire Hotror. GOV. JEROME ISSUES A PROCLAMATION TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES. Derrorr, Micn., Sept. 16.—Gov. Jerome has issued a proclamation to the people of the United States appealing for aid for the Michigan sufferers by forest fires. He says the destruc- tion of property will be great in the four coun- ties affected, and in some whole tow aships com- plete, and that 200 lives have been lost by burn- ing and suffocation, while many have become helpless through injuries and exposure and some are blind. The number of men, women and children left without shelter is estimated at 15,000. The benevolence of citizens of the state has responded promptly to the first necessities of these afflicted people, but ample time has elapsed and sufficient details have been received to make it evident that a wider appeal is needed. The destitution pre- vailing in the suffering counties is appalli Entire neighborhoods are involved in the com. mon calamity, and cannot help each other. The sufferers have no provisions except such as are brought from a distance, and no utensils to cook with. The necessaries of life, both large and small, have been destroyed. They need shelter, clothing, shoes, cook stoves, kitchen utensils, beds and bedding, wagons, harness, plows, hoes, tools of all kinds, seed for future crops, and whatever helps to make men self-supporting. Timely help will enable them to go through the coming winter and to become again an indepen- dent community. At present they are penniless, needy, sick and suffering. Many of them are in debt. I appeal under circumstances like these to the people of other states, and ask them to co-oper- ate in their abundance with the citizens of Mich- igan in relieving this destitution. Nothing will be wanting here in duty to the afflicted sufferers, but the demands are too great for the people of the state to meet alone. An organization for the relief of the sufferers by tlese fires exists at Detroit, the commercial metropolis of the state, and systematic plans of relief have been establish The committee having them in charge is composed of well- known, competent and responsible citizens. Money and supplies sent to its chairman, Hon. Win. G. Thompson, mayor of Detroit, will be faithfully applied. An Divorce Case. Curcaco, Sept. 16.—An extraordinary divorce tent the general condition, which includes the extreme debility of the patient, is necessarily one of grave apprehension. ——— Settlers Under Arms, THE INDIAN EXCITEMENT IN ARIZONA—ORGAN- TZATIONS OF MINUTE MEN—“'THE APACHES MUST GO.” Saw Francisco, Sept. 16.—A dispatch from Tucson, Arizona, says :—Acting Governor Gos- per has secured organizations of minute men on all outlaying camps, and will have sufficient number of arms to supply them. The restive spirit of the Indians of San Carlos reservation forebode trouble. It is the general desire to see the business settled now: and inasmuch as the people are well armed, a more auspicious time cannot be open for settlers than now. The set- tlers of the lower San Pedro have organized a company of forty men, officered by experienced Indian fighters. They have sent Agent Tiffany, of the San Carlos agency, word to keep his In- dians on the reservation, and that all found off will be treated as hostiles. This will doubtless breed trouble, as the agent has given the Indians heretofore their full liberty, and it is doubtful if they will obey any orders in this instance. The San Pedro settlers are determined to carry out their resolution. Col. Price is moving with two companies of cavalry for the north towards Apache, where he will co-operate with General Carr. Col. Sanford will be in the same neigh- borhood about the same time. All three of these officers are experienced in Indian warfare. It is the intention of the courts which have jurisdic- tion of the localities of the massacres and other places where Indian murders have been commit- ted to indict the guilty Indians go far as their namesare known. The sheriff or marshal, as the case may be, will summon a posse. There will be no difficulty in securing a thousund men to assist in the work. They will probably get on the reservation and seize the guilty men, and if necessary resort to such measures as willsave the expense of a trial, The people are thor- oughly aroused on the question of the removal or extermination of the Apaches. Memorials to Congress will be sent from every settlement in Arizona and New Mexico, asking aid in the matter. There is but one opinion on the point. The Gazette has the following special from Willcox: ~‘ Headquarters moved to Grant yes- terday; from thence they will move to Camp Thomas to-day or to-morrow. Some excite- ment prevails among the Indians on the San Carlos reservation. Troops are marching to the front on foot. There are not sufficient horses to mount all the men. Supplies are being for- warded by Col. Hodges as fast as they arrive. The measure of Gen. Willcox in concentrating all his forces in the vicinity of the hostiles has had the effect of keeping them in the vicinity of Cibien Creek. The hostiles tried to get com- munication with the reservation yesterday. Scouting parties have destroyed large quantities of Indian stores. Their atrocities are being confined to Tonto basin and Cibien.” es European News To-day. THE SPIRIT OF THE SPINNERS AROUSED.

THE RECENT TRAIN ROBBERY—JESSE JAMES AND HIS IMMUNITY FROM PUNISHMENT—THE POOR PROSPECTS OF THE CROPS. Correspondence of Tue EVENING STAR. Kansas Ciry, Mo., Sept. 12, 1881. Kansas City is a beehive of industry. You Never saw 80 much business in a city of its size in all your travels. It has been five years since I was here, and I could scarcely tell where 1 was. When we rolled into the grandest depot in the United States it was almost impossible for me to realize the change from an cld shed that stood onthe same site for years to a perfect palace with a train from some direction arriving every half hour during the day and night. The greatest excitement prevails here now over the train robbery that occurred within al- most gunshot distance of the court-house, and within view of 100,000 people; and with all the startling developments and exciting adventures in the pursuit and supposed capture of the real train robbers, the whoie will end in a farce—all the noise will end in much cry and little wool. The men who unmercifully robbed us of our all, not even leaving a fellow enough to secure glass of ice water to cool our parched live in Kansas City and Jackson county. The mother of Jesse James, the great outlaw, comes into Kansas City every week, and lives across the river in Clay county, and he (Jesse James) goes there, sleeps there, and the authorities know that he is there half his time, and yet they cannot find him. The sheriff is afraid to arrest him, and this fear springs to a great ex- tent ons eee source. The moment the James’ are interfered with that very moment the votes of his friends are given to some other official who pledges that he will look everywhere else except in the place where the outlaw is. This is a true statement of the whole thing. They may arrest every man in Jack- son county, and they will not get the men who committed the robbery, With all their splurge it is not the intention to capture the right ones, because they are afraid to. This is my prediction. Some of the robbers mi ly be arrested, but all the boys (for that is all ‘ou can call them) that have been arrested will a released one by one after the excitement dies out and the people think they have the right ones. The friends of the James boys are going to stand by them, and they are legion, and great political power in this (Jackson) and Clay county. The James’can commit any crime here they want to and they will never be arrested. The weather here is delightful, but the rain that fell a few days ago came too late. -The crops are almost a total loss. Vegetables can scarcely be procured in the markets.

The Grand Jary. 4 MEMBER OF THAT BODY TALKS anorT T=: SUDDEN aDJOURNMENT— 4 LARGK MAJORITY OF ‘THE MEMBERS OProsED To a ACTION OF THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY a SUR- PRISE TO THEM. This morning a reporter of Tae Star inter- viewed one of the members of the grand Jury as to the unexpected respite of that body till Oo- tober 34, in the Criminal Court, day before yea- terday, as follows: Question.—Aftera recess of about two months it was expected that there would be business = accumulated to go right on, was it Juror.—Why certainty, and as is usually the case there area greater number of jail cases in which early investigation is urged, to say nothing of recognizance cases. qi 2uention.—There were some post office cases so? Answer.—I believe so; several; and 1 under- stand the post office inspectors were ready to present them the very morning we were re- spited. These had no connection with the star route business, and, with the tall cases, could have occupied the two weeks we are now losing very profitably. Question.—How about the star route cases? Answer.—I know nothing except what has ap- peared in the papers; but if what appears is true, the government will need about all the spare time of the grand jury from October 3d to late in November for these cases, for much of the evidence will be doubtless documentary. Question.—Then the assertion that the busi- ess was not ready is not strictly correct? Answer.—No, sir. Had there been another foreman selected we could have examined nearly all the jail cases without any special pre- paration in the District Attorney's office and thus saved time. Question.—it is stated that several members of the jury who are business men desired the re- spite that they might purchase their fall goods. How is that? Answer.—Bes' tes the foreman not over two jurors were in of a respite. one other. We 4s a0w that the to go away, and was under the another would act in his absence made ourselves easy. Question.—When did you learn that you were to be adjourned? rer.—We knew nothing of it until we purned. Question.—Did the adjournment conflict with the arrangements of the jurors? Answer.—Yes; with several ofthem. One, @ mechanic, deciined to take a profitable job of work, because he was engaged on the jury; an- other had employed a substitute to perform his work and now finds himself out of employment; another, a third, declined an engagement out of the = for the same reason, and others com- ‘ooo hat the adjournment has inflicted great inconveniences upon them, and in se cases losses in the disorganization of their plans. Question.—What is the expense that is saved by the government by the adjournment? Answer.—The jury costs per day, when all are it, and I cannot see how the gov- ernment could lose by the jury being in session, The work has to be done, and will cost as much at one time as at another. There may be some ips, too, committed on for their time in jail does not count—they are there at the expense of the government, and in cases where the grand Jury find no bill, the govern- ment loses the expense of board and mainte- mance while the grand a Jurors are unemployed.

A. and kre sident of that city who keeps a pack of dogs re- sulted in Major King this morning making an appeal to the District Commissioners for in- structions to be given to the police to assist him in his arrests. The Commissioners do not think the police have been remiss uty, but rather that Major King has been a little too hasty and that he expects more from the police than the law allows. The reply of the Commissioners is to Major Brock and is as follows: “Major, your attention is called to the fifth section of the act of Congress entitled an act to incorporate an Association for the Prevention of Cruelty to An- imals in the District of Columbia. You will cause a copy of this section to be sent to the lieutenants in charge of precincts and direct that it be read to the men who are attached thereto, also to be posted conspicuously in the houses, The members of the force will render prompt and energetic aid whenever called upon in conformity with the section of the law referred to.” Section five states “that the police force shall, upon application of member of theassociation who shall have views any violation of the law or ordinances of the city for the prevention of cruelty to animals, ar- rest offending parties without a warrant, who shall be taken by such police officer before @ Justice of the peace for trial,” &c.
