leave the mansion for her home till

she said in reply to the Interrogation

the presidents case at this time was

marked in this connection the wound
was nearly healed. This new trouble
she said is perfectly understood by
the surgeons, and they all have some
idea about it. She said further
that the president compre-
hended the exact situation -
that he has been told that his stom-
ach demanded absolute rest, and
that no attempt will be made for the
present to give him nourishment in
the regular manner. The lady, in
conclusion, expressed the hope that
by tomorrow the presidents stom-
ach would be strong enough to
retain something. In response to

IL p. M.--This has undoubtedly
been the most unsatisfactory day OF
the presidents illness. There is
less hope of the presidents recove-
~, and cabinet and department Off
Gals and other officials of more or
less importance, who called at the
White House TO obtain indications,
with but few exceptions, have been
referred 10 the official bulletins ia
answer to their interogatorics as to
the patients condition, there being
but little beyond what they con-
tanned 10 say. The number of
callers during day has been small,
the evening being considered the
most critical period. Those who
have been here have shown the
most intense anxiety, and by their
conversation and their actions, man
ifest that in respective opinions the
case. had reached the extreme pc
priod. This opinion has not been
confined to few persons, but may be
said to haye been almost universally
throughout the city. The physicians
have avoided conversing as much as
possible, and especially with men,
bers of the press, and the greatest
difficulty has been experienced in
supplying the demands of the public
for the exact condition Of affairs at
intervals throughout the day an III
timation was telegraphed that the
cabinet had been called together;was
thought that some official act was
about to be promulgated, but this
proved tobe error. Object OF meet
ing which took place between A and
5 this afternoon was simply to hear
in a body the report of the physi-
clans on the situation with view OF
ascertaining the exact state of affairs.
DIR. Bliss was called upon to impart
the deserved information. He talk
ed for some time, and while he stat
ed very explicitly the gravity of the,
situation he was very hopeful and
maintained that the president heda
at least an even chance for recovery.

feeling more hopeful. After a con-
