New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1881-08-27

the needless rush and scramble for train o.
boat and the movement of busting throng il
the streets-but everywhere there was a strano O.,
hush, an abnormal quiet. New-York seemed
to be city of mOurners. From the deep lines
and carking cares in thousands of faces. one
would have known that there was an aponizipo
llfe-and-death struggle somewhere. and that
hearts were going out in sympathy to the
sufferer in the White House as to a beloved
companion or a household friend
NJ. Uambettas acceptance of the Premier
snip is 1oreshadowed by the newspaper which
Is IN the habit OF speaking in his name The
event is not likely to occur until the end of
'he year, as the new Chamber of Deputies
cannot assemble until the expiration of the
legal term of the old Chamber. Meanwhile,
the Ferry Ministry will hold it's ground. M.
OanDetta's successor as President of the
Chamber would probably be NJ. Brisson, of
the Republican Union, leader of an advanced
school of Repubicanism. These changes in
the Government would be of the first impor-
lance. The Premiership in the hands of the
leader who, since the death of NJ. Theirs, has
been regarded as the foremost Republican in
political capacity and personal influence, would
DE very different office from what il has
been since the downfall of the Empire, Par
namentary life will have new meaning if NJ.
Gambetta succeeds in massing all the sections
OF the Left except the Radical Republicans,
and then finds himself pitted in debate against
so lucid reasoner and so capable leader
as Nj. Clemenceau. The Premiership would
nave fair chance of overlapping the Presi-
dency If compact majority could be or
ganlzed. Cavour succeeded in building up a
majority upon whose support he could rely,
ana 11sza was equally successful in Hungary.
NJ Gambetta may do the same
The prolonged suspense continues. The presi-
dents pulse and temperature were lower in
the morning, but his mind was clouded so that
ne uid not recognize one of the nurses He
remained in a drowsy state with intervals of
increased confusion of the faculties until late
IN the afternoon, when there was an improve
ment IN this respect his mind becoming
clearer and remaining so. The swelling of
the gland had become SO much softer in the
forenoon that pus could be released from the
rncislon, and, in addition, passage was forced
through the ear. AT first this seemed an mn
questioned gain, as it fastened the elimination
Oh poisonous matter from the system, but the
expectations of the physicians were not real
lzed, since the amount of pus released was not
great lhe swelling is peculiarly obstinate
one, remaining about as large as il was al
thouSh somewhat softer The cells seem to be
ihhltrated with pus, and the physicians admit
llat III may be two OF three DAYS before it can he
completely controlled. Meanwhile, the patient
may dle from exhaustion. DR.. Boynton reported
last evening that the wound was in an unsat |
lsfactory condition, the discharge being de-
ldedly watery and impure. DR.. Bliss, on the |
other hand, would not admit that there were |
any signs OF py@mia, and affirmed that if the |
patient could be sustained until the poisonous |
hulds OF the gland were discharged he could |
recover. DR.. Hamilton during the afternoon
also pronounced him ga shade BETTER
lhe most encouraging sign is the tone
Oh the stomach, which remains ~
good as before. He has been fed every
tour hours and the nourishing iniec-
ions have also been resumed and slim
llants have been administered. The phy-
lclans say that sufficient nollrishment has been
gwen to keep him alive for three days While
he President has made no progress in twen-
y-four hours, he does not seem to have lost
my ground, and his mind is less affected
The best that can be said is that hope has
lot been utterly dspelled.
