WasmiNeroN, August 12.—-The president's pulse, temperature and respiration continued entirely the same this morning as yesterday com- paratively. These indications are about as well balanced as they have been during the greater part of his sickness, with a slight increase in each. His pulse is ouly a little more quickened than usual. At the morn- ing examination, before the last operation, the respiration was one higher and temperature is 2 1-10 degree above normal. The physicians insist that the vemperature and respiration aré ina normal range, but what is the matter with the pulse especially when the fever is reported to have gone down? Dr. Bliss says it is due to debility. Then how long is this debility to last, and will not the vatient get bed ridden? To such questions as these the doctors RETURN FAVORABL WERS, yet this morning Dr. Bliss says yes, terday was a satis tory day to him, to-day starts out just the same a still feels satisfled, but where improvement that was hoped for? Dr. Barnes answers this by saying that his general condition is improved and the high pulse dovs not indicate danger. Dr. Reyburn says Le had hoped to see a lower pulse to-day and is not sure but that he will yet. He says the president is undoubtedly rallyi though slower aps than it was thought he woffd Dry Hamilton has nothing to say@this morning, cept that there is nothing his condition.

Citeado, August 12, - Tn an_inters view with a correspondent at Spria field, M., Senator John R, Tanner, | sne of the prominent men of southems Alinois, who is always well posted in overything relating to the interests off Euypt, pamts a gloomy picture of the ndition of affairs i that section, snator Tanner said that he lad re- ndly visited the gpunties of Fayette, Marion, Jefforson, Hamilton, Galla- tia, Wayne, Clay, Edwards, Wabash, White, Lawrence, Richland, Jasper, Crawford and Effingham and could apeak from personal fact as to the sit- uation in thoso eounties, but the entire southern portion of the state south of the line of the 84, Louis; Vandalin & Terre Haute reilroad is similarly affected. Senator Tanver, after expressing sur- prise that so little had been said about (]w}flpp.\ll'nu condition of the drought and crop prospeets in - southern 1lli- nois, said that even the people lving there did net begin to approcia te their situation. As a rule, e farmers in this state hawo had good crops. Last year llu?' either sold off their surplus corn or fed it to hogs, andas a rule were depending on this year's erep for subsistence. There are many fine farms of 200 acres and over in the state from which not a dollav will be realized this year. Tho effect of the drought on the growing crops has been simply terrible. In the territery deseribed and in portions of some of the countics north of the Wandalim road there has not been a drop-of raim since Juno 30th During this time the heat has been very oppressive, the thermometer being from 90 up as high as 109, with only oceasional ex- ceptions. Tho highest point was. reached on Monday and "'uesday of this week, when, for several hours each day, a hot wind: prevailed that wilted every species of vegetation, even the leaves on the trees being crisped. The oldest scttlers say that the heat and drought vhis season have: been unprecedented, being much worso than in the famous: dry year of 1854, when there was a good: [ wheat and oat crop and plenty oL prairio grass. Judging fromn his ~ personal observation and the reports he has received fromothers. Senator Tanner estimates that the yield will not exceed three to five bushels an acre, ahout one-quarter of an average yield, and of poor quality. The oat crop is about half: an average yield, and hayabout a half crop, while corn is a complete falure, In the entire belt the acreage planted will not yield an average of one bushel to the acre, All kEI:Sn of vegetation are an entire failure. Pastures have been dried up for more than three: wecks, all species of vegetation being as dry oy if it wamin Decembery, In addition to this, the parched coudition of (he grass and stubble results in numerous fires, and large sections of coun- try adjoining the mauin line and branches of the Olio & Mississippi road haye been burned over. Being askod what the effect upon the people this unexpected calamity would be, the senator stated that the tarmers would have to sell off all their supplies and stock for whatever it would bring, and ship it out of the country. They were driving cattle, mules, hogs and sheep to the railroad stations and selling themw for whai they could get. There is nothing for stock to feed on, and water is scarce, all small streams being dry. In the senator's opinion one-fifth of the population will have to be supported Ly the counties until the next harvest. i e A Big Wkeat al‘frt-ua Antici~ National Associated Pross. New Youk, August 12.— A special from Washington says that the cultural department officials say that the greatest loss of the year will be on wheat probably, as there is yet timo for comn to come out all right, and the August report will show a very favorable condition for this staple. Reports ave made on August lIst, and come in and are collected for pubhe action by the 1oth. The report to appear next week is the most impor- tant one this year, and it is estimated by the department to-day that it will indicate a shortage in the yield of wheat of about 125,000,000 bushels as. compared with last year, The compu- tations are not all made yet, however.
