The Physicians Ridicule the Report of Their Cutting for the Ball, ' Dr. Agnew Arrives at the ‘White House and Dr, Ham- ilton Departs. Misoellancons Notes From the Capital PASSES A COMFORTABLE NIGHT. 14.—Sun- day’s have come to such black- letter days in the history of the presi- dent's case, that to-day's bulletins were most anxiously awaited. The first news from the sick room was to the offect that the patient had passed a comfortable night. The figures in the morning bulletin showed that the fever had not all departed, but there was 80 much of an improiement over yesterday morning nmi evening, that they were generally received with satisfaction, Satisfaction almost be- came confidence when the mnoon bulletin indicated the pulsation for a week, and a temperature reduced' from that of the morning, assurances also being given that the wound was doing well, and that the pus was free and healthy. Anxious ones‘began to think this was to be the best Spnday since the shooting, so indeed™1t was, taken all in all, but the increase of pulse during the afternoon spoiled what had bid fair to be marked as an improvement, For whole days, so firmly had §ome people grappled the idea that Sufiday was sure to develop some crisis ilithe case that the evening hour f8und quite a gathering about the bulletin board, The sight of the pulse at 108 disappointment, but the fact that the temperature was lower hore with it a feeling that all was yet well. At the white house the general feoling was that there was no cause for alarm. The physicians undertook to make no explanation of the high pulse. They pointed with satisfaction to the favorable comparison between to- night's temperature and that of last night as showing an improvement in the last twenty-four hours. Dr. Reyburn said this even- ing: “The president has made A SENSIBLE IMPROVEMENT to-day. Weare perfectly satisfied.” Dr. Bliss reitorates his opinion tnat all is well and that the next few days will show a marked change for the better. Dr. Agnew arriyed about 11 | o'clock this morning. He was pres- ent at the midday and evening exam- inations. This afternoon he assured Attorney General MucVeagh that ¢the prosident was vn thegain.” To- night the Attorney General told Postmaster General James that “there was no for alarm.” There have beén no outside callers at the White House to- night except Senator Dawes, of Massachusetts, who came alons as T p. m. Hesaid he had heard on the street that the president was fail- ing and came tc learn the worst, He saw the doctors a few moments, and | when he came he said, ““The worst I can learn is pretty good; the doetors say he is dn the gain.” There has been a feeling of quiet contentment at the mansion all day, and the even- ing bulletin has not seriously dis- turbed it. As long as the doctors are satisfied with the case the family have learned not to worry over matters. Henry, James and Miss Mollie Gar- field returned to-night with Secretary Hunt and family on the Dispatch from Fortress Monroe. Nearly all the members of the family have now taken some recreation during the excite- mdnt except Mrs Garfield and Pri- vate Secretary Brown. Mrs, Gar- field rides out to the soldiers’ home once in a while, but is never absent more than a few hours, Mr, Brown is almost constantly at the office or attending to duties about the man- sion. Dr. Bliss has almost entirely recoy- ered from the eftects of the pus pois- oning and think he need expect no further annoyance therefrom. He is authority for the statement that the doctors ridiculed the report that they had decided to cut the ball out. He reiterates the assertion that there has been such intention in the minds | of the physicians, At 10 p. m. Drs, Bliss and Wood- ward, by a cursory examination, esti- mated that ihe temperature had fallen at least a degree since the evening dressing. He was asleep at that hour and for that reason no accurate exam- ination was made, The watch by the sick bed, now that Crump is sick,is divided between Murs, Edson, Dr. Boynton, Gen, Swain and Col. Rockwell, each sitting up half the night and each alternating during the day. He rested as well as usual and ate quite as much solid food as yesterday. He went to sleep at the usualtime this evening, Dr. Wood- ward and Dr. Bliss are the only ones on duty to-night. Dr. Agnew re mains in the city several duys, following was sent to-night T0 MINISTER LOWELL, Lowell, minister to London:—The | eral condition of the president was | not materially changed.

R Mysterious Murder. National Associated Press. Prrrspure, August 13.—Another mysterious murder occurred here last night. Hugh McVay, employed at the pier freight depot, received his pay, $43, Saturday, and at 6 o'clock left for home. At 8:30 he was scen coming out of Vasey’ssaJoon on Penn- sylvania avenue. Shortly after Wharf- master Richard Finessey met him on the Alleghany wharf, ~intoxicated, and ordered him away. McVayshowed the wharf master some money he held in his hand and started up the wharf. This was the last seen of him. About 9 o'clock two men, talking together in the steamer Sam Miller, thought they heard stitled groans, but suppos- ing them to come from a sick man in a neighboring boat, paid no attention to them, At 9 o'clock this morning Peter Snyder, the oarsman, rowing up the Alleghany river, just be- low the steamer Enterprise, moored just below the river, di cred a man lying in the river. He was pulled out and found to - be MeVay. There was a great bruise on the back of his head anda deep cut over hiscye, as thoughmade with a rock. No money was found on his person and it is sup- posed he was followed and murdered for his money. There is no clue to the murdercrs. McVay is about fifty years of age and a very respectable and highly esteemed man. He came here from Philadelphia about a year ago. 0 AL Mexican Notes.

A sinilar rule is enforced by the New Yok Asso- ciated Press, and all tributary or sub- sidiary Associated Press conbinations in all parts of the country, with aview to maintaining a monopoly of the d tribution and salo of news aud to pre- vent successful competition. When The Journal began the publication of the National Associated Pross reports D. R. Anthony, of Leavenworth, in his capacity as secretary of the Kan- sas and Missouri Assoctated I'ress, is- sued peremptory instructions to the Western Unioutelegraph conpany to discontinue the delivery of the report to that paper. The Journal company immediately brought suit hefore Judge Krekel, of the United States district court, at Kansas City, to con pel the telegraph company to con- tinue the delivery ot the report d spite Anthony's orders, In the mean- time, however, the association held a meeting, and repudiating Authony’s action as an assumption of authority ordered the report restored to The Journal, but took steps towards the expulsion of The Jour.al from the association unle; the paper discontinued the public: tion of National Associated Press re- ports. An effort was also wade to change thie contract between the Kan- sas and Missouri association and the Western Associated Press reports, An effort was also made to change the contract between the Kansas and Mis- souri association and the Western As sociated Press from which latter orga- nization the news came, 8o TheJournal could be excluded from any right or title to their report.

The appear- anoy the council made no opposition the granting of the proposed inj iion. The especial importanc ruling of Judge McC: 'y will be bet- ter seen when it is stated that under it any paper in Kansas and Missouri association, the Western Associated press and all their tributary associa- tions is privileged to take thefNational Associated press report or thut of any news association it sees fit to pay for and the barricr that lus pre- vented the development of newspaper enterprise and fostered the monopo- 1 court was only pro forina, and to hzation of intelligence is eficetually removed. The Now York and West- ern associated press and their kindred association have always heretcfore rigidly enforced this ‘rule of exclu- | siveness and have been enabled to carry out thewr plans and prevent competition, ! owing to the fuct that up to the beginning of the present year the Nationul associated pross had no contract for the permanent trans- mission of 1ts news, and was indeed Limited solely to the insufficicnt wire facilites of the Atluntic & Pacific company.
