The bulletin issued at nine on Sunday morning, said that the patient had passed a good night; his mind is clear, and he is rest ing well. The wounds are progressing satis: factorily, and there is no inclination to 'peri- tonitis.

The bulletin issued at six on Sunday even ing says that the President's condition. con- tinues satisfactory, and that he is sleeping quietly.

The real name of the President's assailant is Czolgorz. In a signed confession he states that he acted solely under the influence of anarchist literature and lectures, and declares that he has no accomplices.

The wounded President has not partaken of nourishment since he was shot, but the physicians declare this unnecessary, as he has plenty of resetve strength.

It has been suggested to us that if these figures, were made public it would be seen that the rise in the price of food supplied to the Government had not kept pace with the rise in the ordinary market rates, or, in in other words, the extra prices demanded from the public are simply a squeeze and mean, not a rise in the prices on wholesale foodstuffs, but merely an extra proft de manded by the retailer. We cannot say from our own knowledge if this is the case, but we are assured that were the Govern- ment to look into the matter the fact would come to light that the public was being thus squeezed. We commend the matter to the attention of His Excellency the Governor, as it was evidently, entirely overlooked by the late Food Commission.
