The President Restless and &C Times De-
l,rious.
Nxw YoRE, August ga Washing
ton special SAYS; The President passed
a weary and restless night, but fortu-
nately he was unconscious or rather
Wandering in Eia Hind
at all times. When AISLE, he talked in
cessantly, but unintelligiO.y for the most
part. Occasionally he would call upon
some familiar name. Several times he
iancietl himself in his Ohio home. The
pulse and temperature continued high
till near morning when he slept at longer
intervals. Mrs. Garfield remained near
him during all the watches OF the night
and at 5 A. " finding that there was
prospect Of greater rest for him she went
to lie down.
Private Secretary Brown IN his private
note TO the Cabinet officers, had stated
the swelling in the neck had broken in
wsrdly and was
Discharging Through the Mouth,
which recalls the fact that last night
DR.. Boynton said il the swelling should
break inwardly there would be no DOS
sible chance for hope. The bulletin has
only added to the gloom. The surgeons
told the Cabinet last evening that unless
there was radical change for the better
by nine o'clock this morning, there
would be no hope. Nine o'clock has
come and there has been no radical
change, on the contrary the Presidents
condition is worse.
Mrs Edssn left the White House
early this morning for short rest at
home. She said that while there she
had left the President with the full con.
viction that
He was Dying.
for during the greater part OF the night
he was unconscious, and at times II was
impossible to arouse him. When she
left the bedside at o'clock he was in
that condition. During tina night Mrs.
Garfield was sitting on the side OF the
bed, while she sat upon the opposite
side. The President aroused from his
stupor for a moment and no.
ticed his wife at his bedside.
Whereupon he suggested that she had
ID ~ lO u6T ACh oSd1S 'Sos'
She asked TO be allowed TO remain with
him for awhile, and he then said: rs
il true that We must be separated soon
Well, perhaps you had better stay then"
Saying this he relapsed into his drowsy
state, breathing heavily. During the
night there were indications OF
Further Trouble in the Stomach.
Mrs. Edson for the first time was over
come bp sadness, and was too much agl-
tstsd TO find the rest she needed. Al
ter a short stay at her house, therefore,
she returned to the sufferers bedside.
Anxiety Deepened.
EXEcUrIvE MANSION, Aug. 26, 9 P. N.
The noon bulletin has rather deep
ened than relieved the intense anx-
iety which prevailed st the executive
mansion. The discharge Of pus from the
inflamed parotid gland through the ear,
which was regarded this morning as
favorable change, and one likely to af-
ford relief, has not thus far answered
expectation. The symptoms OF the pa
tient continue to be urgent and alarm
ing, aud he seems TO be gradually sink
ing.
