PtTZZLUfCf REPORTS. .V
The country has long since ceased to
place implicit confidence in the bulle
tins issued by the surgeons In refer
ence to the condition of the President,
i The fact is, the doctors have gotten so'
into the habit of presenting the case in
the mast cheerful aspect that they
seem to be more bent on giving a bright
hue to their bulletins than in stating
actual facts. If the pulse mount up
into the hundreds and fever rages, it is
only a trifling, ordinary circumstance,
that signifies nothing; if extreme pros
tration occur, he has vitality enough
to overcome it ; if nausea takes place, it
is the result of some slight indiscretion
in eating; if he is restless, and can't
sleep, it is the weather; if the lung be
comes affected, the surgeons soon mas
ter the trouble, and so on. No phase
of the case has yet presented itself that
they were not, so to speak, prepared for,
and did not, to a certain extent, antici
pate. Perhaps they are right in so
shaping their bulletins as to keep
hope alive, for, while there is life there
is hope.
We are led into these remarks not
for the purpose of finding fault with or
criticizing the action of the physicians,
for we believe in their treatment of
their patient they have evinced much
skill, and are deserving of much credit
To hold a man suspended between life
and death, as the sick man whom they
are treating has been for seventy-two
days, and keep life in him, argues no
small amount of medical skill, and that
they have done. But the public gets
no correct idea of the actual condition
of the President from their bulletins,
brief as they are, and almost stereo
typed in phraseology, For true re
ports, and intelligible ones, we must
depend on the reporters for the press,
who gather up the waifs of news they
can collect here and there from respon
sible parties. Among the physicians,
the most candid is Dr. Boynton, who is
a verv eminent physician, and also a
cousin of the President When, he
speaks he always speaks to the
point and says without conceal
ment what he thinks the actual
condition of the patient is, and
as a rule he gets off at some distance
from the bulletins. It will be remem
bered that some time ago it was report
ed that the President in addition to his
other troubles was threatened with a
difficulty in the right lung; this was
promptly denied by Dr. Bliss and other
surgeons, but afterwards admitted with
the quieting assurance, however, that
they had overcome that trouble and
there need be no further fear in that
egard. Dr. Boynton was questioned
about it Monday by a newspaper cor
respondent, who writes :
Dr. Boynton says to-day is one of
the President's bright days. He con
siders there is no doubt that an abscess
has formed in the President's right
lung, but if no further trouble of a
similar nature Occurs he thinks the pa
tient has sufficient vitality to overcome
it The doctor said: "The trouble is
not materially worse now than before
we left Washington."' He attributes
the complication to chronic blood poi
soning."
Notwithstanding all this the reports
of the last couple of days are encourag
ing, and let us trust they are not colored
to bolster hope when facts would be
discouraging.
According to a Washington letter
writer here is how Mason's attempt on
Guiteau's life took in Washington:
"When Sergeant Mason was being
driven through the streets on his way
to the arsenal a crowd gathered at the
corner of Third street and Pennsyl
vania avenue and gave him a hurrah.
They had evidently heard what he had
done, but he lay back between two stout
shomlders, and would say nothing.
When the news became public to-night
it created a sensation, and very many
people regretted that Mason's shot had
missed its mark."
During the recent darkness that sud-
denly overspread, in the day time, a
large part of New England, a conduc
tor on the Hartford and Hew Haven
Railroad rushed his train in ahead of
time in order to be sure whether the
last day had come, and an excited
preacher ran throngh the streets of the
Connecticut capital warning the people
that the day of judgment was at hand.
Meanwhile, the Wall street brokers
went on with their Hannibal and St
Jo. corner, aid would have done so had
Gabriel's trumpet sounded from Trini

The Wall Street Daily News Bays:
"We are preparing for a panic, the like
of which has not been seen by any liv-
L
ingman. ic may come ac any mo
ment too." The same paper adds : "No
wonder that money is not easy when
one pool has 60,000,000 locked up in
Hannibal and St Joseph corner, and
likely to continue there. Exchange is
now so nigh as to preclude shipments
of gold here except at a loss."

Horrors of the Micbigan Calami ij
New York, Sept 14. The following
telegram was received this morning by
Mr. Charles P. Crosby, president of the
Michigan fire relief company, in this
city :
Port Huron, Michigan, Sept 14.
To the Michigan Fire Relief Company,
New York City:
I have Just emerged from the burn
ed district and have traveled over 75
miles of roads in it The suffering and
devastation are indescribable. Many
J daces as far as eye can see along the
and once occupied by comfortable
homes and prosperous people scarcely
anything is visible but what seems a
boundless sea of ashes from which
arise stifling odors of burning flesh
and bones. Blinded and fire-crazed
people abound. Transportation is dif
ficult and supplies come though slowly,
especially at a distance from the shore
railway. A man is asked the where
abouts of his wife and children and
then he starts wildly. He looks at a
loaf of bread and leaps away like a
wild beast Almost hourly names of
additional victims are added to the
burned and to the death list Home
less are thousands. The blinded, scorch
ed, crippled and deranged are very,
very many. (Signed)

Stopping- the Factories
London. Sept. 14. rAll the cotton
spinners and manufacturers at Preston
have replied to the secretary of the
masters' association. The largest em
ployers are willing to stop their looms.
It is thought that a week will not suf-
nce to circumvent the ring, but that a
fortnight's stoppage will break up the
syndicate. There is little doubt at pres
ent that the requisite majority of two
thirds will be obtained at Barrley. It
i is now reported that twenty-eight firms
ln iuacKburn district will stop, but
eight will not stop. The latter explain
their refusal on the ground that they
are not affected by the corner, as they
have stacks of cotton on hand.

UNOFFICIAL BULLETIN.
Elberon, N. J., Sept 14. Dr. Bliss
says the President passed a good night
and awoke refreshed this morning.
The rebriie rise came on about ia.m4
and commenced passing off before six.
At the time of the morning dressing his
temperature was normal and his respir
ation 19. The President commences
the day as favorably as yesterday and
has not a single disturbing synjptom.
For breakfast among other things, he
ate nearly a whole peach and appeared-
10 reiisn iu
The weather continues good and is
invigorating.
A representative of the Associated
Press in conversation with Dr. Bliss
immediately after the issuance of the
morning bulletin, inquired as to what
length of time the President would
probably remain at .Long Branch. In
reply the Doctor said probably until
the middle of October; that if his fav
orable condition continued and the
several lesions healed satisfactorily as
it was believed they would, the Presi
dent would rally very rapidly and that
in such an event he thought a voyage
to the coast on the Tallapoosa would
bejlesirable and beneficial.
Dr.. Hamilton is still satisfied with
the progress of the patient as are also
Cols. Swaim and Rockwell. The day
bids fair to be quite as favorable as
yesterday.
Elberon, Sept 146 p. m. At the
examination of the President at 12 m.
to-day his temperature was 98.8, pulse
104, respiration 20. At 7.30 p. m. the
temperature was 99.2, pulse 112, respira
tion 21. The President was placed on
the invalid chair in a semi-recumbent
position about 12 m. and remained one
hour and a half, sleeping a part of the
time. He was not fatigued by the
transfer or change of position and his
general condition this evening is as
favorable as usual, notwithstanding
a slight febrile rise.
Elberon, Sept 14. Secretary Lin
coln saw the President to-day. He says
he expected to see a very ill man and
that his anticipations were realized.
He had not seen the patient since the
afternoon he was shot, and of course a
great change had taken place since that
time. The conversation between the
gentleman was very brief and entirely
personal, no business being referred to
at all. The secretary only remained in
the sick room a moment
movement of the English Cotton
mills.
London, Sept 14. The news of the
decision of the cotton meeting at Man
chester was received at Blackburn with
indifference. The operators favor the
proposed means of improving the pres
ent manufacturing trade, but they fear
there will not be unity among the mem
bers, and the recommendation to stop
for a week will be acted upon only by a
few. There is no doubt about the short
time movement being carried out At
Bunley both masters and operatives fa
vor the movement It is uncertain
whether the stoppage or short time
will be adopted, in the case of the Old
ham mills, which promised to cease
work, stoppage to take place at the end
of the week. There are seven millions
spindles in Oldham spinning American
cotton, and in four millions, even if a
hundred and fifty thousand stop, the
promoters of the movement will be
satisfied. A number of mills in the
Preston district will be closed at least
for a week.
