dence. q tell you boys he is alive yet. , Attorney General MacVeagh feels the bluesi of all He says the situation is one of the deepest gravity, but he thinks there is chance that tomorrow may bring a change for better; Assistant Secretary Bit under the circumstances is feeling ner- vous with State department on his shoulders. He deemed it advisable to inform Secretary Blaine of the unfavorabIe change in the Pres ident't condition that he might if he deemed it best return to Washington. A message to | that effect was sent at 10:30 p. m. Vice President Arthur has not been sent for as 1 reported. At half-past eleven the White House was deserted again and the city WAS as quiet as usual except that a lf-dozan sleep less ones hung about the gate, guards talking with officer in charge. The doctors had all gone home with the exception of Bliss and Reyburn. The Presidents family were told that there was no cause for further alarm to- night and they therefore retired. Dr. Bliss laid down on the bed in the surgeons room and Dr. Reyburn remained near him. Gen Swain was with the President at that late hour. He slept comfortably after 10 o'clock, and when Secretary Brown went to the door at midnight he was still asleep and breathing nomlnally, with no indications of further dis turbance. Secretary Brown had the mansion closed soon after 12 o'clock and went home, first making arrangements to be called ip case anything happened. The gen. eral feeling is undoubtedly improved since the early evening, but there is still deep anx- iety for the morning

We know nothing more definite than there has been. No more vomiting since p. m. We expect to hear from the doctors soon." The crowd of callers at the White House to- l night has been as great as four weeks ago. Stringent rules of admission are still in force. Every one realizes the gravity of the occa- sion, but hope is expressed on all sides.
