National Associated Press Wasnizaton, August 31, —The glan- dular swelling of the president’s neck and face was less troublesoms last night and _his rest vorrespondingly tranquil. He had very little annoy- ance trom phlegm, and the freo dis- charge of the pus materially relioved the tension. The usual enemata was administered. He awoke only at long intervals, The appearance of the gland this morning before tho dress- ings were removed was satisfactory and the size was noticeably less. The generil appearance of the president this morning is bright and cheerful and his facial expression improved. All the surgeons were present at the morning examination. After the bulletin was issued the gland and wound were dressed, and the presi- had a sponge bath of alcohol and water. There was a liberal discharge of pus from the gland, and the gen- ern{n pearance is satisfactory. The wound remains about the same. The president’s skin is cool and moist and of a good color, In addition to the usual nourishment the president was given a piece of broiled steak. He swallowed only the juice and seemed to enjoy it. The callers at the White House this morn- ing were few. Only two or three members of the cabinet have been there. Dr. Agnew returns to Phila- delphia to-day, Dr. Hamilton will remain here until Saturday. Dr. Boynton says the president is better in every way than yesterday. Dr. Bliss and Dr.” Agnew made the same statement at noon. BLAINE TO LOWELL. The following was sent this morn- ing.

National Associated Press, New York, August 31.-A man called Ray is now under arrest n Brooklyn forswindling custom officers by representing himself as C. M. Tingle, chief inspector of customs at Washington, He hoaxed Dr. Ham- wond by giving him orders to go to the white house, called on the Dr. in a ccupe, said he came from Secretary Lincoln, who said he wanted his pres- | ence at once, that the president's con- dition was eritical, the physicians were to be changed, and a special train was waiting, Dr, Hammond took Dr, Weir and i 1 started, but called at the Gilsey house, where the man said Sccretary Lincoln was, and found that he had been im- posed u\:nu. He rut a detective on the track and found Ray under arrest at the Raymond street jail. The man told Hammond that Blaine had re- signed and Arthur was to go to Wash- ington immediately and assume execu- tive duties, that Lincoln, Hunt and Windom were in consultation with ant, Conkling and Arthur at the Fifth Avenue hotel, ete. Hammond says the object evidently was theft, as he tried to get Hummond to leave his room on the plea that he was sick and wanted a dose of Liein e, o THE STALWARTS CONTROL. Moeting of the New York Repub- lican Committee--Convention Octobor 8th, National Associated Pross. New Yonrk, August 81— The meeting of the republican state com- mittee to-day was controlled entirely by the stalwarts, The committee met at 12:15 o'clock, thirty-one members being present. Gen. Arthur being oneof the two absentees there was considerable intevest in the rumor that Arthur was to resign the chair- manship of the committee. Tt was said that the resignation was based upon an understanding reached be- tween the vice president and the cab- inet that he had consonted to act as president during the disability of General Garfield, at the latter's re- quest. Crowds waited about the committee rooms in the Fifth Avenue hotel, and filled the lobbies to learn if the rumor was true. Arthur sent no communica tion of any kind, Ex-Senator Platt, on motion of A. B. Johnson, of Utica, was called to the chair. After much discussion New York City was situated as the place for the state convention and October Hth as the date. The old rule of apportionment for election of delegates to the state con- vention continued, giving every as- sembly district one and an additional delegate for every 1,600 or fraction ot 1,500 larger than onc-half that num- ber, according to the votes polled at the last election. This increases the total delegates from 454 to 495 and in New York from 55 to 79, The committee adjourned at 1:30, leaving the selection of a hall for the convention to the committee which is to meet at 9 a. m., October 5. "'he stalwarts named New York as the place for the state convention and the half-breeds named’ Utica. The vote on the question stood: Utica 11, New York 16, New York was an- nounced as the place. The old rules of 1868 were continued. This rule will increase the total number of del- egates from 464 to 495 and increase the New York representation from 55 to 79, the city gaining 24 delegates or more than half the total. Every one of the eight city = bers of the state committee are stal- warts. ~As the party machinery in the city is in the hands "of the stalwarts they expect to send a joint delegation to the convention and that their enor- mous city delegation will serve as a nucleus and have a great effect in at- tracting country delegales, so that they can control the convention. The stalwarts were astonished that they polled but sixteen vote: In the committee to-day, as on Friday last, they had reason to believe that they were sure of twenty-seven of the thirty-three. The falling off is attrib- uted by the half-breeds to good news from Washington, JEALOUSY'S FATAL JAWS, Bloody Encounter Betwoen Two Mon in Chicago. Katlonal Asseciated Press, CH1cAGo, August 31, desperate and fatal fight ' took place esrly this morning in the hall of a tenement house at No. 375 Wabash avenue, oc- cupied by James B. Duncan and famfly, with whom boarded a printer named Thomas H. Lowry. The latter had just reached home and was pre- aring to take a bath before retiring, Stepping into the hall to reach the bath room he met Duncan, The im- mediate cause of the quarrel is not known, but a pistol shot aroused the inmates of the house, who found Lowry breathing his last. Duncan was found locked up in his room covered with blood. There has been bad feeling for a long time between the two on account of Lowry’s alleged intimacy with Duncan’s wife, — DEVILISH DEED, A Son Kills His Mother and Step- father by Sh 3 National Associatod Press, MiLwavkee, August 31,—Hcrman Hilder, a young man only 17 years of age, arrived yesterday from St. Louis, Last night he visited the house of his mother and stepfather, J.
