The Presidents sons were informed
at an early hour of the
change for the worse. They had
been sleeping on cots in the corridor,
neither having undressed for the night.
The children went into the sick room
about half past 7. They spoke cheer
fully to their father, and the daughter
kissed him. They remained but few
moments.
ANOTHER RALLY.
WASHINGTON, August 28.-It is re-
garded this evening that the Presidents
rally has been of such character that a
further relapse, while among the possi-
bilities, is not probable. Commencing
at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon there
had been up to o'clock tonight 27
hours in which the President was pro-
nounced as improving. The improve
ment has not diminished in strength
nor is it less marked tonight.
DR.. Woodward said when the
wound was twelve days old that the
President might last twenty or thirty
days and then die. eff however," he
said, "the President is alive at the
close of the sixtieth day from the shoot
ing the danger will be over and he Will
live" The sixtieth day will be over
Wednesday. The White House this af-
terDoon and evening looked as it did IN
the palmy days when it was believed
that the President was certainly on the
broad highway to recovery and that the
desired ending of the sickness was but a
short time ahead. There were but q few
people around.
WASHINGTON, August 28.-The de-
moralization of yesterday morning was
so great that in some Of the executive
department orders were given for the
purchase of the required amount of black
cambria and other materials necessary
to drape the public buildings in mourn
ing, Immediately on the announcement
Of the Presidents death, which was ex~
pected to take place to-day. The after
noon and evening trains, yesterday, and
the morning trains, to-day, brought large
number of Journalists from leading cities.
These gentlemen came on especially to
write up the events of the death of the
President and to accompany the remains
to the last resting place. A number of
artists for some illustrated papers we're
here few days ago and drew sketches
OF death-bed scenes the body lying in
state, the funeral procession and other
incidents likely to accompany fatal ter
mination of the case. It is asserted that
these drawings have already been en-
graved and stereotyped and we're in the
form to be printed the very instant the
intelligence reached the publishers that
the President had ceased to breathe.
The prospects at the White House, as
viewed by many, are perhaps, illustrated
by the fact that the most of the journal

! WASHINGTON, August 28.-The i'm
provement in the Presidents condition
has been maintained during the day and
tonight hope is stronger than when the
noon bulletin was issued. The proba-
bility of death is, it is believed, gradu
ally lessening. A very confident feeling
has taken the place of dependency
5 which was apparent at the White
) House last night. Hope has again taken
a. strong hold. The effect Of to-day's
2 good tidings were everywhere noticeable
in the better feeling that prevailed.
3 Gloom has been lifted from the
f city. The President has rested quietly,
9 and there has been nothing to
t disturb him. He has perceptibly i'm
[ proved during the day, though it was
l not marked Improvement until it could
be said at 5 o'clock that the President
was better than he was at noon. He
has talked but little, but that has been
2 because they would not let him talk.
The pulse has remained pretty steady,
, and continued it's improved upward tone
r and character. There has not been any
marked fever. The beats of the pulse
7 we're from 1O6 to 1O9 per minute. His
general appearance has improved, and
his skin is soft and moist.
WASHINGTON, August 28.-The $50
p. NJ. official bulletin says the improve
ment in the President s condition declared
} yesterday afternoon is still maintained.
? He continues to take willingly the liquid
food given by the mouth and is apparent
} ly digesting it. The stimulants and nu-
trients given by enema are also retained.
At the evening dressing an increased
quantity of healthy looking pus was dis
charged from the suppurating parotld
gland. The appearance OF the wound
has not percepGbly changed since the
morning dressing. But little rise IN
} temperature was noted. The pulse was
perceptibly stronger than at the same
time Yesterday. Pulse 10; temperature
} 99.7; respiration 20.
? At II o'clock P. NJ. DR.. Woodward re-
t ported that the Presidents condition con-
tinued favorable. His temperature had
? gone down since the evening examination
!, but his pulse when last taken had not
changed since the $50 official bulletin.
: It WAS not expected to fall much until
. after midnight. No unfavorable ssymp-
: toms of an kind had been observed.

: ton, at $50 this evening, gave the fol-
, lowing statement Of the present aspect
4: OF the Presidents case: ''In my opinion
: all the patients symptoms tonight
l marked an improvement. In the first
l place, bis mind, which was for the week
, more or less affected by the vitiated and
l impoverished condition of his blood, is
: now perfectly clear and active. Up to
e Friday night or Saturday morning 1
t don't think his will-power has had for
[ six or seven days any sustaining infu-
l ence on his body. He had no strong
e will power since yesterday morning,
l hover there has been i'll this re-
t spect material change. Not only
4 is he more cheerful and hopeful, but his
4 will has recovered its power OF Sus-
, tanned effort, and it is now cooperating
8 with all his whole being OF life. The
e condition of bis stomach, SO far as abil-
ity to take food is concerned, continues
e good, and I think there is further
J. slight improvement in the processes OF
: assimilation and nutrition. He has
,, swallowed to-day more than 80 ounces
of LIQUID nourishment, consisting chiefly
= of beef juice, peptonized mild and milk
porridge, and in addition two nutritive
d enemata. This supply Of food is en-
d tirely adequate, if properly assimilated.
