the extreme debility of the patient
is necessarily one of grave appre-
henSion.
DR.. Bliss says there was a slight
fabrile rise commencing at II o'clock
which continued until near u.
At the noon eXamin q ion the
Presidents pulse was ia, tempera-
ture 1916, respiration 81. At this
hour the pulse is los and tempera-

patient was not placed in his chair
to-day on account of the febrile
rise.
NO IMPROVEMENT.
6 p.m.-At the examinations of
President at II H., to-day, his tenn
perature was 1913, pulse 116, respira-
ton q. At the evening dressing,
at $50 pm. the temperature was
9S.6, pulse 1O4, respiration p. A
slight febrile rise occurred at II
am, and had entirely subsidized at
PIN. The condition of the wound
remains unchanged. The cough has
not been so frequent or persistent,
but the sputa still remains purulent.
NOurishment and stimHlantS have
been given in increased quantities
without discomfort. Altogether
his general condition cannot he saiG
to be improved.

London, 10. rhe Lancet says the
reason of the trouble with Presi-
dent Garfeld's lungs is his hypOs-
tatic condition. The congestion at
their base is because of the de-
pressed respiration, arising froG
long redundancy. Sitting up will
probably give much relief, but until
all signs of the affection Of the,
lungs have disappeared, hopeful
progress is not expected. News

Long Branch, 16.-The day opened
disagreeably. A heavy northeastern
set in yesterday, followed by a driV-
ing rain during the night, which has
continued at intervals. ElberOn
looks deserted; the only persons
seen outdoors are the attendants at
Francklyn Cottage. The condition
of the President throughout the day
is a source OF extreme anxiety.

ing the Presidents last night, and
noticed that lie coughed consider
ably during the early part. The
doctor says the President is suffer

lvely weak. ! hope he will over
come the extreme loss of strength
and rally. but it is a question
whether he will. l see a very grad

did not think the President started
in as favorably this morning, as he
did yesterday. But, said he, there
is no cause for alarm. He was of
the opinion that the depression WIS
only temporary. Col. Swain thinks
that when the President has his
bright days each one adds a little TO
the preceding one, and that the gain
in strength is manifest from time TO
time. He attributes the weakly de-
pressiOns of the President to sym
patty, caused by the shock of the
wound. He does not think the Pre-
sident reflects upon the occasion OF
his wound any more during the
later part OF the week than during
the former part. When spoken to
about the Authorizations of the Pre-
,ident, Col. Swain said his wander
IngS OF mind continued to a certain
extent, but were generally of brief
Duration. He and Rockwell believe
the President will rally.
LolCeU, London:
There has been no very marked !
change in the Presidents condition,
but it is not, at this hour, reassur-
ing. The different symptoms are
almost all slightly aggravated; the
and pulse have fluctuHl
ated more than usual and the re-
spiratiOn is rather more frequent,
While the character of the discharge
continues to be unsatisfactory.
There is, therefore, a sensible in
crease in the anxiety.
