Long Branch, 16.-The President
is tloubled somewhat IN his mind,
but if you ask him a question he
viii answer 1t. As an instance of
his clearness of mind, Doctor Bliss
illustrated how he took the evening
temperature and said he remarked
TO Col, Swain when the thermome-
ter had been standing nine minutes,
that he could not get the tempera--
ture above the normal range, where,
upon the President SAID, well, sir,
you have only one minute more"
How do you know that ?" in
CURED the doctor.
The President pointed to the clock
and indicated that his mind concen-
trated upon the time that the doc
tor commenced taking the tempera-
ture, and had followed the minutes
correctly.
The doctor said while he was with
the President to-day, he made use OF
All expression when seemed to in
dictate that his mind was wandering
d little, and that Doctor Hamilton
also states this evening that he had
.loticed a similar remark when he
was with the President. The Presi-
dent complains at times of being
weary and tired. If the process of
repair had continued III the, Presi-
dents case, without interruption, Il
few days longer, the patient would
have moved into the high scale of
improvement.
How do you view the general sit
uation Tonight ?" sFhe conditions
are more hazardous than at any
time since the patient has been at
Long Branch. The President still
looks forward to going to Mentor,
and has talked some about it.
Agnew said there was apparently
SUMO mistake regarding the consHi-
tation of yesterday morning, that
Bliss had not offered any objection
to the introduction of the septic
condition of the President into the
official bulletins, and he de- ired that
the correction should be nude i'll
Justice tC all concerned.
Hamilton said: refer yen to the
bulletins for a full and complete ex-
position of his condition. [ would
not expect the public would inter
pref it as favorable bulletin or as
an indication of favorable progress
We have said in the bulletins every
thing we deemed necessary to ell
able an intelligentpers0n to form Il
correct opinion. We hav concealed
nothing that We deem unfavorable.
at 10 o'clock tonight Bliss said
the Presidents pulse had decreased
to 116, and the temperature was not
very much above normal. and not
withstanding the disturbance early
in the evening he apprehended d
cas-, nably quiet night, although he
could not say he expected any
marked improvement in the morn
ing.
The Presidents condition causes
here Il feeling OF dependency. Peo-
pie regard his condition as much as
to put in question his ability to
rally from his present state Of lung
trouble and exhaustion.
Washington, 16-There is genera
apprehension here tonight about
the President. Despite the stormy
weather crowds gather wherever
bulletins are posted and the feeling
is one Of dependency.
Elberon, n. j., II, 9 a.m.-At the
morning examination aud dressing
of the President the temperature
was 09.S, pulse 10S. respiration 81.
The fluctuations of the pulse during
Nhe night varied from 116 to 1870,
the temperature during this time
| not devIating much from normal
He slept cutie well taking nourish-
ment at proper intervals: His cough
was not troublesome and the expec-
tolations we're moderate. The dis
charge from the wound is more
healthy and the color OF the granu-
lation slightly improved.

DR.. Boynton says he feels better
about the Presidents condition TINS
morning than yesterday morning.
He does not consider there is any
marked improvement, however.
excepting that the wound looks
better.
The cabinet is expected this even
ing. Defbrinated beef blood is
being administered to the President
bv enemata. Arrangements are
being made to have fresh blood
brought here daily. The patient
had two ounces last night and three
this morning. Good results are
looked for.
CHILLs AND VOMITING.
Elberon, 1.-The President had a
rigor about II o'clock this morning.
1t lasted about twenty minutes.
during which time the pulse ran up
to 1871. After the rigor passed off
the President vomited considerably:
His pulse at this hour had decreased
to 120, the tie nperature being 101
and respiration "a.
The situation is decidedly critl-
cal, inasmuch as there is great prob
ability that more chills will occur.
1t now transpires that there were
indications of rigor Yesterday.
The President is suffering from
over-eating last night, being troubled
with pains in his stomach. Dr.
