The Stomack 8lightly Improv- ed But the Other Condi- tions Remain ' Uh- changed, The Nouris: ment All Taken Yesterday Without Nau- sea or Vomiting. The Medical Men Still Hipress Confidence ' That He Wil Recover. ! The Oabinet More Oonfident Than They Have Been For i At 2 O'clock This Morning the President is Reported as Rest- MORE NOURISHMENT T4 ‘WASHINGTON, August. The prosident has taken gix; afim ounces of beef juice in to other nourishmerits this morning and all has been retained, The d is rapidly repairing and the n of the wound is no worse. from the presidext’s sick room this merning show that there has heen nothing lost since yesterday. The president was less restless but somewhat annoyed by phlegm in the throat, but able to clear it with less exertion. During the night he was given two enematas, and also twice received nourishment by the mouth. Inaddition to the usual koumiss and milk porridge, he took early this morning, four ounces of juice beef steak, all taken with relish. AT THE MORNING DRESSING the wound was found repairing slowly but the conditions are stationary. The parotid swelling is now confined to the gland itself, which is hard and clearly defined. Evideaces of sup- puration are said to be no less marked and it is still thought that it will be several days before it will be known just what will come of it. Mean- while, all the president can do is to hold his owa. DR. BOYNTON says that if the stomach continues to do well there will be a change for the better as goon as inflammation of the 5luud has been scattered or definitely efined otherwise. It is now forty- six hours mmnve there has been any vomiting. The feeling at the White House is still anxious but there is hope. The anxiety is principally concerning the stomach and the groatest care is exercised in its treat- ment, MORE WILD RUMORS. To-day has been another day of wild rumors of the most alarming effect, One was that Secretary Blaine stated that the president was out of his head half the time and when Mrs, Garfield came to him this morning he did not know he Although the falsity of this story was known at the White House Private Secretary Brown, ! | to satisfy inquiries, wont to” the sur- geons’ rooms and ascerteined that the report was not only untrue but that the rumor that Secretary Blaine had made such report was equally false, since the sccretary had not been at the White House to-day. Scerotary Blaine afterwards denied all knowledge of the story. TLY IMPROVED, TON, ) August 23, “The stomach rules the world” is an old proverb. Never was it more | true than at prosent, when so much seems to depend on the stomach of the president. In it has been rang- ing now for several days the hope and fear of the nation, and its increased strength to-day has been about the only food for increased hope. The food has been slightly increased and its character strengthened. All the nonrishment has been taken without nausea, The president has not al ways asked for food, but it is taken without repugnance. As yet its effect has been noticeable only in the pulse. This has been reported firmer. VERY LITTLE CHANGE SINCE YESTERDAY, All the physicians admit there has been little other change since yoster- day. The wound seems to be giving no divect trouble and the parotid in- flammation neither increases nor shows signs of disappearing. It is generally believed the inflammation will be followed by suppuration, This will not be certain for two or three days. Meanwhile, much improve- ment cannot be expected. The strain on the system will too nearly balance the extra nourishinent. Suppuration of the gland is not greatly feared. Once formed it will speedily be re- lieved and on the result of its drain- age will greatly depend the hoped for tavorable turn in the case. As it stands now it looks rather discouray- ing. THE FEELING AT THE WHITE HOUSE, But the feeling at the white house is this: Since the president is not be- yond recovery is it not as fair to think that he will recuperate, as not very far ahead can be scen the point where increased nourishment will be very apt to take strong hold? Here comes in the stomach again, If it continues to do as well as now the ground-work will continue to be firm as long as nothing is lost; and hence the reigning hope is for brighter days yet to come. These are the eenti- ments expressed by the official faily of the president. Mrs, Garfield’s hope is not a blind one, ashas been suid, She reasons out for herself the ground for the hope which she has ex- pressed. To-day she told her pastor that her hope had increased since yes- OMAHA, WF terday, and that she felt sure that the ;t-i ont would yet recover. Dr. 'owers says that he would take the ent of the little woman as soon it of all the surgeons. EACH SUCCEEDING BULLRTIN has just a little better showing than tho corresponding one of yesterday. Every atom of encouragement goes a great way in such a time as this, and it has been noticeable about the man- sion. On the streot the hope is too forlorn for exprsssion, and it will take a decided improvement to cheer the people. The doctors have contented themselves with the thought that ju s the patient is holding nis own. This evening, however, they seem to think there is ground for more encourage- ment than yesterday. Even Dr. Ag- new, before he took the train for home, said *The ident is better than he has been for three days,” and remarked that the stomach was re- sponding to all that was asked of it. * WHAT THE MEDICAL MEN BAY. Dr. Bliss Was asked after the even- ing, how he felt about it? ‘More en- couraged,” was the reply. ‘‘There has tli‘oen an improvement during the . Reyburn told one of the cleri- cal force that the president was better. Dr. Barnes says: ‘It ia a very fair bulletin,” and another of the doctors says that, while there has not: been much change; the improved condition of the stomach must be taken as an encouraging sign. leon. August 23.—Dr. Ham- ilton said before his ro for Washington this afternoon: I have no advices which change my convie- tion of the condition of the president. I still entertain a strong hope that he will recover.” MRS COL. ROCKWELL, who spends much of her time with Mrs. Garfield, said as she was leaving to-day: ‘It looks brighter up there.” All this shows that no one at the white house feels as if the props were being knocked from under them. HIS MIND NOT WANDERING. There have been no signs of the president wandering in his mind, as it was said he did yesterday. This story was founded entirely upon the usual dullness of perception noticea- ble when one first awakes. Mrs. Ed- son’s explanation was that it was nothing more than any other patient would have shown who ha been confined so long in bed and whose condition is so weak., His mind is not as clear as it was, but what you refer to as deliriousness is the result of an opiate that has been adminis- tered. This of course will remedy itself as soon as nourishment. by ene- mata is gone. Itis not on account of any mental weakness, for as soon as the effects of the opiate wore off his mind was asstrong and clear as ever. CABLE TO LOWELL, WasHiNgron, D. C., August 28— The following was sent this after- noon: Lowell, Minister, London: In the last twelve hours, since 1 o'clock this morning, the president has swallowed eighteen and one-half ounces of liquid food. He has had no nausea. The pulse and tempera- ture is cssentially changed. In the judgment of his physicians he has lost nothing since the last dispatch. Tt there is any change it 1s for the bet- ter. i [Signed| BraiNg, Secret; TO LOWELL. The following was sent to-night: Lowell, Minister, London: The president’s condition is more encouraging than at this time last night. During the last twenty-four hours he has swallowed ten ounces of extract of beef and eighteen ounces of milk, retaining and digesting both. He lias twice asked for food which he had not done before for several days. Pulse and temperature both some- what lower. The swelling of the pa- rotid gland has not specially changed. Its long continuance at tfle present stage increascs the fearof suppuration, At this hour, 11 o'clock,\the physi- cians_report that the president has rested quietly the entire evening.

ABHINGTON, August 23 2:156 p. m.—The character of the food taken by the president to-day hes been stronger, including beef tea and milk, DNESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 21, 181, in addition to the usual milk porridge and koumiss, The only apparent re- sult of this inc nourishment was in the character and tono of the pulse. The swelling of the gland is about the same in size and character as yesterday, It is just as difficult to say whether it will sappurate or not, and may be so for two or three days. Dr. Bliss says he is satistied with tho case to-day. OFFICIAL. Exgcurite MANSION, August 23, 6:30 p. m.—The president has con- tinued to take ligmd food by the mouth at regular intervals during the day and has had no recurrence of the tric disorder.

WASHINGTON, August —The Post will print the following editorial in regard to the temporary discharge of the president’s functions by Vice President Arthur: In order to relieve the public mind from any fear which may exist that the government will suffer serious detriment from the inability of the president to discharge the duties of his office, we deem it proper to make this suggestion if it shculd be neces. sary during the illnéss ‘ot the chief magistrate to have any executive ap- pointment requiring personal partici- pancy on the signature of the presi- dent. The cabinet could, under a warrant of the constitution and ot common sense, invite the Vice president to perform that duty or | aftix the necessary signature, Should the vice president thus act he would not be president, he would not cease to be vice president, but would the proper mode of signing an execu- tive paper would be ‘Chest Arthur, vice president and acti president.” Tt is true there is nolaw | proviging any tribunal to officially determine and declare where a pr dent’s labors under such ‘“‘inabilit as to require the vice president to act in his stead; but the reqitst of the president’s comstitutional advisers and the heads of departments would be ample notice to the vice president that his services were required, He would have no oceasion to take the eath of office, for he would not change his oftice. There could not be two presidents at one time. The vice president, then acting, would be simply discharging the é‘utiu of pres- ident as the lieutenant governor of a state or the second officer of an asso- ciation or corporation discharges his duties in acting for his superior wheu that ofticial is absent. This is the plain sense, true intent and meaning of fundamental law. We can see no objection to adopting this simple plan should the president's illnv continue,” e P e ' MISCELLANEOUS, MORE OF HOWGATE'S CROCKEDNESS, WasHINGTON, August 23.—At the instance of Gen. Hazen a further charge has been made against Capt, Howgate for an additional embezzle- ment of 850,000 from the government. This will require an additional bond, covering the entire amount of the defalcation made in the charge, in de- be acting president for n time, and [and would have revenge 1THE OMAHA DAILY BEE. generally more of nsmv.»m' than public interest.

THE YORKTOWN CELERRATION The preparations for the Yorktown contennial drag_slowly on, doubtiess on account of the president’s condi- tion. Should the president dio it is probable that the celebration would be stripped of mich of its splendor, The monument would be dedicated, but it is probable that much of the programme as now arranged would be cut out, CALLERS, Callers at the white house to- have been few. Among them Sen: tor Blair, of Now Hampshire. He snid things had been looking protty dark to him_for a fow days. Ho no troed, too, that some of the cabinet ofticers began to waver. “‘But 1 don't give up. 1 have been lower than the president is with a gunshot wound, and T am well as anyone, 1 still hopo he will live to bo fully recovered again,” said he. SOME OF THE CABINET have been gloomy during the last fow days. To-night they had a conversa tion with Dr, Bliss and heard fre- (Flont reports from the sick room. They left feeling much more cheerful. Attornoy Goneral MacVeagh said at 10p. m.: “Ifeel a little encour- aged to-night. Tho president has been aleeping nicely this evening and takes his nourishment so well that we all foel encouraged.” Secretary Lincoln, whose hopes have been fading fast, said he felt re- newod encouragement. Secretary Blaine admitted that there was more ground for hope than Iasat night. It would take but one or two days to restore full confidence in the president's recovery. Drs. Bliss and Reyburn will stay near the president all night. He slept considerable before midnight and was not so restloss even as last night. No change in his general con- dition was reported up to 10:30 l» m, His pulse at the evening bulletin, 104, was less than at any evening bul- letin since August 13. Total lignid nourishment taken to day twenty- threo ounces and three enematas of four ounces each have been admin- istered. No vomiting since Sunday evening. Lo TEXAS TRAGEDY. A Sheriff's Murderers Sum- marily Dealt With, National Associated Press. Housron, Texas, most intense exci Orange, this state, over an_attempt to assassinate Sherifl Geo. Michel and the subsequent lynching of eight of the leaders of the plot who met their death at the hands of the citizens, ‘vho banded together for the purpose of |umin§nux effectual stop to out- rages and all kinds of Iawlessness which have been openly committed in that neighborhood for the past few wecks, The trouble began some three s ago, when O, L. Delno, a noted ninal, in attempting to escape, | was shot by Detective Wood. When Delno’s friends searched for Wood he could not be found. They charged Sheriff Michel with concealing him Yesterday a diabolical plot to assassinate Michel was then artfully arranged between Charles Delno and Dug Ha (white) and Samuel and Bob Saxon (colored). A sham saloon fight for the purpose of involving Michel, was started by Sam Saxon, who started and ran to- ward the place where Charles Delno, Dug Harris, Bob Saxon and a number of negros were lying in ambush, When the sherifl and posse reached the ambush they were fired upon. The former received buckshot wounds i all parts of the body. A hundred and fifiy citizens were at once got together, thoroughly armed, and started in pursuit of the outlaw, who, after an assault on the sheriff, succeeded in making their escapo. Four of the negroes were captured and immediately shot. Another negro, Robert Garcon, was tortured for an hour by being alternately hanged and ment pre resuscitated until he revealed the plot discovered above. Af- ter this confession, together with that of other crimes, had been wrested from him, he was strung up for good and left hanging. Delno was captured and placed in juil, where Sam_Saxon, though badly wounded, shortly after joined him, By 8 o'clock ut night, the militar guard, thinking everything secure, left the jail and repaired to their homes. ‘At 9 o'clock a large body of exasperated citizens gathered at the jail, demanded of Deputy Sheriff’ Jett the release of Bam Saxon and his leading negro accomplice, This was refused, but the crowd overpowered fault of which Capt. Howgate must g0 to jail, but Howyate is said to have gone to’ New York. Investigation shows that the additional evidence upon which this charge is made )3' the government comes from New York. In the course of the prosecution of the detective force of the department of justice vouchers for the payment of supplies in large sums were found. In consultation with those parties they positively disclaim all knowledge of the transaetion of the kind of affidavits, that the supplics in uestion were never furni b hem, aud that no such mwoneys ha been received from the disbursing oftice of the signul office. Tn ‘one - stance a forged voucher for the sum of $10,000 was discovered. Tt is ru- mored, too, that more will follow, FURTHER TALK WITH SIOUX INDIANS, The Sioux Iudiuns had a supple- mentary talk at the wterior depart- ment to-day. White Thunder, who succeeds Bpotted Tail as chief of the Rosebud agency, at great length set forth the needs of the Indians, asking for additional agricultural implements, school advantages and proper legisla- tion of the lands belonging to the hin and dragged them out. A wild and thrilling scene then commenced. The negroes fell on their knees, and, throwing their arms around Deputy Sheriff Jett's legs, implored hLim for God's sake to save them. Suddenly they were inspired with an idea of making thewr own es- cape, and amid frantic yells started to run, The gathered crowd at once opened fire on them, riddling both both bodies with buck-shot and kill- ing them instantly, The bodies were left where they fell and the crowd dis- persed. Charles Delno was not dis- turbed, but is to be tried to-day be- fore a kangaroo court, Judge fiynvh prosiding.

Gladstone's S8on Challenged to Fight a Duel. Rev. George Granville the New Dean of Westminster Abbey, Miscollaneous Nows From Across the Ocean. National Associated Press, THE PALL MALL GAZETTE ON THE LAND BILL, Loxnox, August 23. - The Pall Mall Gazette, referring to Sir Charles Gavan Duffoy's address to the prople of Ire- land on the land bill, heads the article with the title, “‘Timely words well spoken,” and says that no more admi- rable introduction to the land bill could be offered. The opinion grows that the workings of the land bill will be found efficacious in the removal of the worst of the Irish grievances and that during the next session of parlia- ment whatever imperfections may be found in it will be remedied. GLADSTONE'S SON CHALLENGED, It 1 rumored that Mr. Healy, home rule member of parliament for Wexford, has challenged Herbert Gladstone, member for Worcestor, ro- cently made junior lord of the treas- ury, and son of the premier, to fight a duel. The offense given by Glad- stone is said to be certain words spoken in debate and afterward fol- lowed up at an accidental meeting. There is no probability of his accept- ing tbe invitation to the field of honor. Ho is no coward, but his strong roli- gious princivles would prevent him from accepting the challenge.

National Associated Pross ¥ Cmicaco, August 23.—The com— mittee appointed by the southeastern railway association to prepare a plan for the settlement of the Missouri river difficulties are in session to-day. The greatest difficdlty for the prepa- ration of a satisfactory plan for the adjustment of these troublesis the inability to come to an understanding regarding the division of territory. Tho pool is now composed of thres divisions, Chicago, St. Louis and Hanmbal. The Chicago road inssts. that in the reorganization, the Hanni- bal division should be abolished and their business go into the Chicago di vision, Opposition to this schewe is made by the Wabash, The committee discussed the plans of the new pool system for the asso ciation. A very favorable plan was for a system of tonnage pool or, in other words, gross pool instead of the present money and tonunage pool. There were calls for a diversion of the traflic from each other. The committee made no recomiflondation, but asked for statistical information from Commissioner Midgely to be given them at thewr meeting the last day of the month, when they will try and agree upon the planto present to the convention in September. Lead- mg railroad officials say their plan will be min?mad. In that case all di- visions will be swept away and the trouble about the Hannibal division will be ended.
