The people on the streets this morning wore gloomy countenances as they read in the morning papers aceounts of the Presi- dent’s condition. There is increased aux- iety observable in the crowds who gather around the bulletin beards, and various expressions of regret and sorrow are heard in subdued tones on alisides. As no de- cisive improvement of the President is an- nounced the anxiety of the public eon- tinues.

Wasninaton, Aug. 22.

Official bulletin, 8.30 a. m.—The Presi dent has not vomited since yesterday p. m, and this morning has twice asked for and received a small quantity of fluid nourish- mant by the mouth. He slept more quietly during the night and this morning his gen- eral condition is more encouraging than when the last bulletin was issued. Puise, 104; temperature, 98.4; respiratien, 11.

Exectrive Maneton, 11 p. m,

Soon after the evening examination the President went to sleep and slept continu- ously for two hours. His fever has gradu- ally abated, and luis pulse has fallen to 102. Dr. Boynton who came from his room a short time since reports that he seems slightly better than at the date of the eve. ning bulletin. te has swallowed to-day in all about 20 ounces of liquid food, and has taken 18 or 20 ounces by enema. So far as ability to take nourishment is coneerned his condition to-night is better than last night. In other respects it is substantially unchanged. The Department of State has received from Jr. RK. Eliis, an eminent surgeon of England, through Minister Lowell, a packaye of draining tubes and other surgical instruments, of which he is the inventor, which are largely used in the English hospitals, and which he recom- mends for use by the President’s physicians The package has been forwarded to the surgeons in charye of the President's case.

The instruments are accompanied with full instructions how to use them, and also with a letter of endorsement from Sir James Paget, one of England’s greatest surgeons.

Since 11 o’cluck the President has rested quietly and comfortably, and at this hour is asleep.

The mem- bers of the conference number four hun- dred, half of whom represent British and Continental Methodism, and half the churches in the United States and Canada. The Conference is composed of Jay and clerical delegates in equal proportion.
