New YORK. Aug. 29.-Post's Washington
specials AS hope returns more is learned il
detail of the terrible anxiety of last Friday. !
appears that the surgeons, after the alarming
symptoms of the morning, decided that it wa
useless to longer continue the struggle, ant
two of their number were selected to wait up
on Mrs. Garfield and inform her that medica
science could do no good and that she mus
prepare for the worst. The interview whicl
occurred between these surgeons and Mrs
Garfield will, if reports are true, b.
regarded as one of the most dramatic
incidents in this extraordinary case Capt
Henry Marshall, of this district, frient
of the President and his family says that Mrs
| Garfield heard the news, and, smotherlng be-
emotion, arose and said: "Gentlemen, yor
shall not give him up.
he is NOT GOING TO DIE.
| He is going to live. 1 know 1t. Go back t.
your post, and leave it not until every remedy
| is exhausted-until death itself has set its sea-
| upon him, for will not believe that he il
dying. Go back, and do what you can. You
cannot do more, but don't give
say say; that we we will III not ~as' giSe Sa0 u1
until the end itself is upon u.s." Mrs. Gar.
field has never surrendered more than mo.
ment or Two at time to her grief, and then
she has retired to her room, and after q brief
absence has returned to her post of duty at
the Presidents bedside.
ANOTHER CRISIS PASSED.
The improvement in the Presidents con-
dition is apparent in four important symp-
toms. The pulse is lower and stronger, the
stomach works better, the infamed glandzis
throwing off it's disturbing contents and the
original injury is again resuming its healing
processes. In word, the President has sue
cessfully passed another crisis.
Visit Of Postmaster General James to Gen.
arthur.
NEW YORK, Aug 29-Postmaster General
James paid a hurried visit to this city Satur-
day evening, and almost as quickly returned
to his post of duty at Washington. Various
rumors were afoat as to the immediate cause
of his visit, the main belief being, that on
behalf of the other members of the
cabinet, James had been sent with personal
request that Arthur should proceed to Wash
ington and be prepared for any emergency
that might arise in consequence of the fully
anticipated death of the President Col. Geo.
Bliss, who was present at the interview which
tooh place between James and Vice President
Arthur, said to a reporter this morning:
"James had an object in coming on Satur-
day afternoon, and l do not deny
that it was on public business, but do cay
the newspapers are all off the track in regard
to this mission. OF course the condition of
the President was talked of, but his presence
here had no connection with Gen. Arthur
going to Washington, either to see the Pres
ldent or to assume the duties of his Office.
AS has been before intimated, Gen. Arthur
takes his own counsel in regard to this delicate
matter, and l know very well that he will not
visit Washington for any such purpose unless
asked to do SO by the President. What trans
pired in the short interview which took place
between James and Gen. Arthur is not for the
public to know through me. With this
you must excuse me.
Did you know of Postmaster James inten-
tion of coming to New York before he arrived?
We'll, suppose / did, and it was not sur
prise to me or to Gen. Arthur.
