National Associated Pross. GETTING ALONG NICELY. WasniNerox July 15.~ Surgeon General Barnes was the first to leave the sick room after the usual exami- nation of the president this morning: “Well, doctor, how is the patient do- ing?" *“Nicely,” was the reply. ‘‘He is better in every way, but not out of dung"g::,e though practically so, un- less uhl en complications arise and 1 see no signs of any. We don't yet feel like throwing up our hats and saping the president is out of danger. That would be misleading the public. All we can say is that ho is doing nic ely, gaining strength and improv- ing in every particular. He ate the juice of a becfsteak on toast for breakfast.” Dr. Barnes further stated that the president suffered less discomtort when moved about now, and added that ‘“‘one nceds only to look at hiny to be assured of his con- tinued improvement. Dr. Bliss was asked this morning when be was going to bo able to say the president was out of danger. “‘He is booming slong about it and is about out of danger now. Of course accidents may hap- pen. We cannot control them; rious complications may arise, hut we think none are imminent. . We are ready for them, so he may be said to have passed the crisis and on the whole to be pretty safe. . He has no fever this morning.” THE PRESIDENT HIMSELF CONFID! WasHiNGToN, July 15.—The condi- tion of the president is stiil the all- absorbing topic. It is now thorough- ly established in the public mind that the president is on the road to recov- ery, but theunfavorable proviso, ‘‘bar- ring accidents,” keeps all anxious to see each succgssive bulletin, copies of which are still posted all over the city. The ident himself says he is getting and imbues all who see him with' the' same spirit. His confldence wns well expressed when he "asked. t5.sig anewspaper. Col. Rockwell S88-2hoy” were All hothg saved for him. “What, all of them, Rockwell?” he asked. ““Yes, all.” “Then perhaps it wouldn't be best for me to get well?” A LOVER OF FLOWERS. The president is a great lover of flowers and always has a Boquet on his desk when attending to executive business, He is still favored in this respect and every morning a tresh bouquet composed of the choicest flowers in the White House conserva- tory is placed in_his room, where he can see and admire them. They are removed in the evening so as to avoid all possible danger which is sid to arise from having flowers in a sleep- ing room. At night Mrs. fiul(l generally attends to this. THE FEVER LESS VIOLFNT. ‘The febrile rise in the president’s cpse occurred somewhat later than asual to-day and the fever was less violent than usual. The evening bul- letin being very favorable, the presi- dent had a still smaller administration of anodyne and the dose is to be grad- ually decrcased in the hope that he will soon get suflicient sleep without it. He fell asleep early to-night and was resting at midnight. The cabinet of- ficers spent the evening with Mrs. Garfield, as usual. Dr. Reyburn en- couraged them with the ~statement that the president was practically past all danger. CONKLING, WasHiNcroN, July 15.—Senator Conkling spent a while to-day driving in the suburbs and he did not return to his lodgings until evening. He will probably return to New York to- MOITOW.

National Associated Press WasHiNaron, July 15.—The fol- lowing crop reports are furnished by the department of agriculture. The cotton returns of this department on July 1st show an increase in the con- dition of cotton since the reports of the June average. The condition is 95 against 100 at the same time last year. The following are the reports by states: Thirty-four counties in North Carolina average 94.19; South Car- olina, 93,57; Georgia, 98.13; Florida, Alabama, 92. Mississippi, Louisiana, 96.45; Texas, 2; Arkansas, 92.18; Tenncesce, 5. The plant 18 generally reported small and ten days late. The hotand too dry weather 18 almost universally noted, but except in southern and western Texas little injury was re- ported from the cause. At the date of the returns Alabama and Georgia each reports a better condition than last year, while Texas and Arkansas are lower. Insects are seldom men- tioned. The condition of the wheat crop as reported July 15th 18 much better than on June 15th, and averages 13 bushels for the whole country. The Atlantic states fall off slightly as com- pared with the return for the same time last year, but the large wheat region north of the Ohio river and west of the Mississippi, returns a low ion compared with 1880. Michigan reports only 64 per cent. andi H'inoiwt0.” Ohio and Tadians 41 below last year, but report fair pros- peets. Missouri and Kansas each make great complaint of damage from in- sects in the spring wheat states. Towa alone returns a condition much lower than last year, and which isonly 7 per cent Corn - There is an increase in the arca planted, and is nearly two per cent. lower than that planted in 1880 The average condition of the crop is not so high as tl t two years, and is 90 per cent. against 100 per cent. last year. Inall the north Atlanfic states the crop is backward, owing to the cold, wet spring, but in the states south of the Delaware river, and on the Gulf of Mexico. it is re- ported as fair. Texas, however, reports a serious injury from drouth. In the great corn producing region bordering on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers the average is below last year, particularly in the state of Iowa, which reports only a condition of 77, caused by the cold spring and too much rain. © In Ilinois and Missouri the condition is reported very favor- able. bemg 10 The Fire Record.
