the private part OF the mansion, says Mrs.
Garfield informed him the President Was still
sleeping quietly.
THE LATEST.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, Aug. IS, a. m.--
At this hour everything is quiet in the vicinity
of the sick room. The physicians are doing,
and the watchers IN the Presidents room can
not be seen. Nothing has been observed since
midnight to indicate any interruption to the
natural slumber which he was then enjoying.
wEAK STOMACH.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, Aug.
I5.-Noon.-The President Is said to be much
better at this hour than when the morning
bulletin was issued He has taken seme milk
and quantity of "beef extract" He has also
partaken of some whisky with egg, all OF
which he has retained In response to an ln-
auiry as to the cause of the Presidents vom-
lting, Private Secretary Brown said it was due
entirely to weak stomach, and while IT was
more or less aggravated by The wound,
that it could be attributed 10
to the fever. He said that The
President contracted dyspepsia while he was
in the army, and had at no time since been
free from it, and that when he was in apparent
good health he was oftentimes troubled with
nausea. Mr.. Brown says the surgeons are not
at all alarmed at the Presidents condition.
During the last hour he slept some and ap-
peared stronger. 1t having been ntimated
that the operation performed Monday last
was in fact an attempt to remove the ball, Mr..
Brown was asked if the story had any founda-
tion. He replied that it was entirely errone-
Gus, and said that there was no immediate In
tention of disturbing the ball.
NOT so CONFIDENT.
The midday bulletin was not issued till
nearly O'Clock. The patients pulse was
then 1lS, temperature 80, respiration IL. The
bulletin saws that since the last bulletin the
President has not vomiled again, and he is
now able to retain nourishment At the
morning dressing there was free discharge
of pus, and the wound is in good condition.
Thr Presidents temperature has fallen since
m ornipg, and the midday bulletin appears
a farming. The surgeons say it is not so.
They attribute The higher pulse To
exhaustion caused by vomiting and look upon
the reduction of temperature as favorable
symptom There is uneasiness outside the
White house and the surgeons do not say
much IL is evident the surgeons do not ietl
as confident as formerly. But they feel more
hopeful now than last night or this morning.
Morphine was again used last night before
the President could sleep, and while he was
not recovered from the last operation, as the
surgeons hoped, they still insist that he Will
rally, and believe that he will get well.
ANXIETY AT WASHINGTON.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, Aug
Is. 2;25 D. m.-Much anxiety is expressed
throughout the city regarding The Presidents
condition. Numbers of inquiries have been
made at the mansion, and the feeling through
out the country was similarly manifested by
large numbers of press correspondents who
called at the White house to receive the 1890
n. m. bulletin for representative papers which
they represent Aside from this, many re-
ouests for the latest news have been received
from the several executive departments. The
temperature and respiration, as stated in the
last bulletin, are generally conceded as favora-
bic indications, but the pulse, which is
1neasiness in the public mind. Since
the issuance of the bulletin, it has
been impossible to confer directly with any OF
the attending surgeons. Attorney General
MacVeagh called a short time ago, and as he
was leaving the White house, said in reply to
interrogatories that DIR. Agnew attributed the
unusually high pulse to the weak condition ol
the patient,
CAUSED BY NAUSEA,
from which he has been troubled The attor
nev general said further that the surgeons
informed him there was no indication of pus
fever, and they hoped they had overcome the
trouble caused by nausea. If no further trou
BILE is experienced, it is thought the patient
will soon rally from the bad effects of tht
attack he has already had. The surgeons tool
the patients pulse about 1:45 p. M, when il
was ll2. a decrease of six beats in less thar
two hours. At this hour Private Secretary
Brown has also just came from the room, anC
saws: "His pulse is still decreasing.

about the same as when reported at 2:i5 p
IN. excepting the slight rise in Temperature
caused by the usual afternoon fever. The fe
brile rise, however, is said to be no greate
than heretofore. He has been nauseated one,
since the last bulletin was sent. The sur
