UNOFFICIAL BULLETIN.
Ex Kcunvfi Mansion, Aug. 23, 11.30 A.
Tbo condition of the President has not
materially changed since jeaterdsy after
noon, and is yet the subject ofgrave anxiety.
The improved tone of the patient's stomach,
which gaTe some encouragement to hia at
tendants yesterday, is still maintained, and
this is the most hopeful feature of the case,
lie has taken this morning six and a half
ounces of beef juice without nausea or
any other symptom of gastric disturbance.
Upon the continuance for several days at
least of this ability to take and assimilate
food, and upon the continued absence of
further complications, would seem to rest
the patient's chance of recovery. If the
wound continues to do well, if no serious
consequences result from the swelling of Ihfi
parotid gland, and if the Etomach continues
to take food enough to make good the waste
caused by suppuration, there will at least
be improvement enough within the next
four or five dsys to carry the patient to a
higher plane of vitality, and perhaps to put
him on the road, although not on the sure
road.to recoverv. The continuance of these
favorable conditions, however, while uni
versally hoped for, cannot be confidently
predicted. Dr. Agnew returned to Phila
delphia this forenoon.

UNOFFICIAL BULLETIN.
Executive Mansion, August 23, 2-30
p. M. From the best information obtaina
ble at this hour, including the statements
of two of the attending surgeons, it may be
said that the condition of the President
has not changed in any material respect
since yesterday afternoon. He is taking
increased quantities of nourishment and
this circumstance ot course affords a ration
al ground for a feeling of encourage
ment; but the same uncertainty which
prevailed yesterday with regard to the
future course of the glandular inflammation
prevails to-day, and there is still the same
question, whether the patient can take
nourishment enough to sustain bis strength
through the present critical stage of his
case. The indications are that be can; but
until there is a more decided change
than has yet occurred a confident predic
tion must be withheld. At this hour it can
only be said that the patient is certainly no
worw in any respect, and that bis ability
to take nourishment is steadily increasing.

In an interview with a reporter of the
Associated Press at 1.3'J this afternoon. Dr.
Lilies made the following replies to ques
tions asked him :
"How is the President to-day ?-' "He
ia doing nicely."
"How much food has he swallowed since
morning ?" "He has bad about eighteen
ounces and a half of liquid nourishment
since 1 o'clock last nignt, not including
eoeroala."
"What has been the character of the
f.Kd " "It has been stronger than yester
day. The quantity of beef juice has been
largely increased and pepetonized milk has
been added to the list."
"Hss the stomach seemed to assimilate
food well without discomfiture f" ""ies."
"Do you notice to-day any evidences of
increased strength as a result of this fuller
nod more etimulating diet ?" "His pulse
u a little leas frequent and its character is
trooger and better; in other respects there
ii not much change."
"What is the appearance of the inflamed
parotid g'and to-day n "It is still bard to
the toucn, and has not perceptibly changed
in appearance."
"How long before suppuration will be
in. if it begins at all?" "It may be two or
ihtee days yet. There is no certainty that
ibe swelling will suppurate."
"Haa there been any change ia the
blood?' "I think there are evidences that
the septic condition is passing off."
'"Upon the whole, what do you think of
the patient's condition as compared with
yesterday?" "I think it ia a little better.
The President seems to m3 tobe gaining."
Washington, August 23, 1030 P. M.
The President has had a rather better day
to-day than was generally anticipated.
The somewhat discouraging tone of Secre
tary Blaine's telegram to Minister Ebwell
last night seemed to prepars the public for
iba worst, and although the official bulletin
thia morning was not unfavorable, a gene
ral feeling of anxiety and apprehension
prevailed, both atjthe Executlve'.Mansion and
throughout the city. Iieetmad to be almost
universally conceded that the condition of
tie President was in the highest degree
critical and alarmiog, and on the streets
four persons out of rive if asked what
they thought of the President's chances
would have replied that his death was
a question of a few days, if not
of a few hours. For this state of excite
ment acd alarm, however, the real facta of
the case hardly furnished sufficient justifi
cation. The condition of the President
was, it ia true, a aubjictof grave anxiety
to his sorgeons, to bis attendants and to
Mrs. Oarfield; but not more so than it was
yesterday, anal not bd much so as on 8an
ly. Oa Sunday afternoon there was
really greater reason for discouragement
than at any time since then, because there
eeemed then to be only a very faint hope
that the patient's demoralized stomach
conli 6e brought to resume Its fqnctioDB.
Aa soon as the President began to swallow
food again bis conditlqbi to that extent, at
least, became more hopeful. Without
adequate nourishment death from exhaus
tion eeimtd inevitable, whilo with proper
food he might live. In a qualified sense.
therefore, ho aa better thia morning than
he was Sunday night, although Els general
condition in the interval had not materially
changed. Before the morning examination
to-day he had swallowed six ounces of
beef juice without nausea or discomfort,
and this increasing ability to take nourish
ment encouraged the surgeons to hope that
ibe danger of death from exhaustion, which
they regarded with the most apprehension,
might be averted. Up to noon he had
swallowed 16 or 17 ounces of liquid food,
but there had been no indication of an in
crease in hia strength, with the exception
of a stronger and slightly improved pulse.
Generally speaking the patient at noon
was holding bis own, but making no per
ceptible progress, He slept about as much
as usual during the afternoon and continued
to take nourishment Ht intervals, until at
4 o clock be bad swallowed more man
twenty ounces.
At 4.20 P. M., Dr. Reyburn reported
that the general condition of tbo patient
seemed slightly improved. This informs
lion was confirmed by the evening bulle
tin, which showed a tower pulse than the
patient has had at any evening ex
amination since the 13lh inst. Since
half-past 6 o'clock he has slept most of
the lime quietly and naturally, and the
6ligbt improvement of tbo afternoon is still
maintained. At this hour, 11 P. M., Dr.
Bliss reports that the President's pulse is
103 to 104, and his temperature apparently
about normal. He is aleepiog quietly and
bis symptoms are as favorable as at any
time during the day. Dr. Bliss expresses the
opinion that upon the whcla the President
haa made a slight gain to-day, and that bis
symptoms indicate further improvement
to-morrow. Most of the members of the
Cabinet were at the Executive Mansion to
night, and all seemed more or lees encou
raged by the statements of the surgeons
with regard to tho President's condition.
Attorney General MacVeagh said at 9
o'clock that the President seemed to be
taking hia nourishment well, and that he
felt somewhat more hopeful with regard to
the future of his case.
Dr. Hammond arrived from .New York
to-night.
The followiog was sent at 11 o'clock to
night: lo Lowell, Minuter, London: Tho Prcsi
dent's condition is more encouraging than
it was at this time last night. During the
last twenty-four hours he has swallowed
ten ounces of the extract of beef and
eighteen ounces of milk, retaining and di
gesting both. He has twice asked for food,
which he has not done before for several
days. His. pulse and temperature are both
somewhat lower. The swelling of the pa
rotid gland has not specially changed. Its
long conlinnsnce at the present stsge in
creases the fear of suppuration. At this
hour, 11 o'clock, the physicians report that
the President, has rested quietly the entire
evening.
Signed Blaine, Secretary.

LAWLESS PROCEEDINGS OF A. BAND
' OF DESPERADOES THE CITIZENS IN
' ARMS SEVERAL OF THE OUTLAWS
KILLED. '
By Telegraph to the Morning Btar.l T '
St. Louis, August 23 Houston (Texat )
specials indicate that the bloody tragedies
which occurred at Orange during the past
week are causing intense excitement along
the line of the Texas & New Orleans Kail
road, and fears are entertained that some
thing worse will follow. The present con
dition of affairs grew out of a difficulty
which occurred three weeks ago betweeo
O. L. Delano, a noted desperado, and De
tective Wood, in which Delano seriously
shot Wood and escaped, and Charles
Delano, brother of O. L. Delano, accused
Sheriff George Michael of aiding in tbo
escape, and swore that he would get eveu
with him. With this view be concocted a
plan to assassinate Michael, in which he
was aided by Dag Harris and two ne
groes, Sam and Bob Saxon. The plan
failed, but tbey succeeded in wounding the
.Sheriff badly by leading him Into ambush.
The citizens became greatly incensed at
these proceedings and one hundred and
fifty of tbem congregated, captured four of
the negroes and shot tbem. Bob Saxou
was also captured, and, after extorting a
confession from him, in which he revjnied
the plot to kill the sheriff, he was hanged
to a tree. Another negro was arrested and
banged, and Charles Delano was captured
and placed in jail. A hundred armed men
scoured the neighboring swamps for otheis
of the gang. A guard was placed around
the jail night before last to guard Delano.
Sam Saxon, one of the leaders of the des
peradoes, who was wounded, came into
Orange yesterday and surrendered to the
guard at the jail. At 8 o'clock last night
the guard was disbanded and went borne;
but an hour later a Urge body of men sur
rounded the jail, and the deputy
sheriff, being unable to bold it, was com
pelled lo surrender, and Sam Saxou and
another negro of the gang were taken out
and the bodies filled with buckshot. Be
fore dying Saxon made a confession, de
tailing some of the operations of the band,
one of which was an attempt to burn the
town of Orange
