A. M.-The President slept most of
the night. He has taken liquid food by
the mouth at stated intervals and in sufi- |
cient quantity, so that the enema has not
been renewed. No modification of the
parotid swelling has yet been observed.
His general condition is much the same as
this time yesterday. Pulse LOG, tempera-
ture 9s.5, respiration IS.
Official bulletin-2:30 P. M: Since the
issue of this mornings bulletin a rise in
the Presidents temperature similar to that
which occurred yesterday morning has
been observed. His pulse is somewhatmo more
frequent from the incision in the parotid
swelling, from which a few drops Of pus
were discharged this morning. The size
of the swelling has not diminished. In
other respects his condition is not per-
ceptibly changed. Pulse 112, temperature
99.2, respiration 10.
The General Opinion.
CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-The Times Wash
ington special says: Evidently the final
crisis in the Presidents case has arrived.
The reticence Of the doctors during the
day is finally explained. The surgeons
have given him up and are now preparing
to take desperate chances. DIR. Hamilton,
last night, advised the removal of the
President from the White Hsuse to ITALIA
poosa as a last chance for saving his life.
This course was not approved by DIR. Bliss
and ONE or two Of the consulting sur
geons, and it was thought best to have q
cnnfarQnaQ with all tho anruaono in the oaaa
Secretary Lincoln who came out for q few
moments, in answer to the inquiries of the
Times correspondent, said. "There is
no concealing the fact that the condition
of the President is absolutely desperate.
The opening Of the parotid gland to-day
resuited in the discharge of so small an
amount of pus that the surgeons fear that
this incision will not relieve 1t sufficiently
SO thai sloughing, q fatal symptom in the
case, is possible. 1t can be stated on the
highest authority that whatever the de-
cision of the surgeons Mrs. Garfield will
not consent to the removal Of the Presi-
dent. She believes that moving him
would merely accelerate his death. The
surgeons are bowed down with the great
responsibility of the question presented to
Q by DR.. Hamilton"
DR.. Bliss when he left the Executive
w 81 " Az aCROt ~ luGct hEs
Agnew reeled like Q drunken man, he
was SO overcome with fatigue and anxiety.
he has maintained q contest all day with
DR.. Hamilton over the removal Of the
President. DR.. Bliss believes that if he is
moved he will die in transit. The public
should be prepared for the worst, as
everybody about the White House now
comedies that the hours Of the President
are numbered.
Arthur and GarfeId.
New YORK, Aug. 25.-The Tribune says
whatever conclusion the Cabinet may have
reached, the counselors Of the vice-Presi-
dent have urged that the Cabinet cannot
take upon itself to decide when inability Of
the President exists, and it 10 known that
General Arthur will not heed any call or
suggestion Of the Cabinet as to acting in
place Of the President It is safe to say
that while Arthur will not disregard any
request of the Cabinet or of Blaine at its
head to c0me to Washington, he is adverse
to doing SO while the President lives.
Precedents in like cases show that there is
no absolute need that the Vice President
should qualify immediately on the death Of
the President, and General Arthur believes
there is nothing pressing in national af-
fairs to warrant undue haste on his part in
the event Of the death of President Gar
field. A personal friend says il ppportu-
nifty is given vice-Presiaent Arthur,
through the threatened calamity to the
country, he will prove as much q states
man, though regarded as a politician mere
lions of Arthur with President Garfield
ara ayAn nnnlaaoanf runah lose hnaksla
the resignation OF Conkling and |
Plat. and when it was finally decided that
there was no way open for compromise or
reconciliation, Arthur plainly told Presi-
dent Garfield that he felt bound in honor |
to support his two friends, and added: ~
Mr.. President, that you will not
think there is anything personal to you in
my action" The President, in his usual |
hearty way, took hold Of General Arthur's
shoulder, and said: personal, ny dear
fellow. I know you have no such petty
at all"
ON the Presfdenrs
Death.
CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-The Inter-O Oceans
special says It was rumored
ately that some Wall street brokers had
means Of knowing the condition Of the
President and what was occurring ct the
White House. 1t is now positively known
hat some one in New York knew of the
mention to summon Agnew before the
Presidents family did. 1t was kept Q pro-
secret here, but ii was known in
Wall street by noon that some one who
las the means OF knowing IL employed In
furnishing information to stock jobbers.
L is known that . person three days ago
here and told several persons be
lad come to make arrangements for q d.
.ect wire from the White House to q bro
ler's office in Wall street, but found he
been forestalled. He offered to prove
~ the files at the Western Union Tele-
,raph Offices that dispatches went directly
rom the White House to Corbin's place in
New York, a bankers brokers Office. This
gentleman said he would give $40, 900 to
NOV Ave minutes In advance that the
President was dead.
A Most Unfavorable Opinion.
