TUE YORKTOWN CENTgNNIAL,

Senator Johnston, Mr.. Goode, Colonel
Craighill, Colonel COrbin and all connected
with the Governments programme for the
celebration at Yorktown, are arranging de-.
tails and carrying out plans heretofore
agreed upon. 1t is unfortunate, however,
that The appropriation given them wa only
100000, As the Centennial has assumed such
mammoth proportions that a great deal
more money is necessary.
Colonel Corbin has already been notified
OF $4,000 volunteer soldiers that will be
there, and many thousands are yet to re-
port.
The Post to-day SAYS Senator Johnston
will meet General Hancock at Yorktown
next Thursday, on business c0nnected with
the Centennial. The Senator expected TO
make a speech at Fairfax Courthouse next
Monday, hat his time il so occupied now
with the Yorktown Centennial that he will
be unable TO do so.

HIS TROUBLESOME cOraH.

LOSG BRANCH, n. j., 1925 4. M-The
President passed a fairly good night. Du-
ring the early pant Of the night he was
troubled with coughing, more 30 than on
any previous night. His general condition
Is not so favorable to-day. There are no
new complications, and no indie atoms OF
any, but the patients condition shows that
he has not improved in the past forty-eight
hours. The wound has assumed a more
unhealthy appearance, and the discharge
from it has been growing more unsatisiac-
tory since yesterday morning. The pus
discharged this morning is Of no better
character than that discharged last night.
Several bed-sOres have again appeared.
DR.. BoyutOn says they are caused from
constantly lying in bed, and are attributed
TO the extreme debility OF the patient. DIR.
Boynton also says the circulation OF the pa
tient is good, and his pulse is not of a more
depressed or unfayOrable character than
heretofore.

CAN HE STAND THE BUBDENl

The anxiety which now prevails Is
whether or not the President Is able 10
stand the burden which he is now c'rrying.
DR.. Boynton says be still has hope That he
will, but it is a question which can only be
determined by the future. The patients
mind is also very weak, and shows evil
dences OF disturbances by continued ballu-
cinstiOns.
There is still a continuance Of The suppu-
ration OF the parotid gland. On the whole,
the case may be summed up with the asser-
ton that the present is a moment OF eX-
IRENE anxiety, and devoid OF sufficient
ground for assuming that the patient VIII
overcome The excessive debility which has
established itself. All are hopeful, how
ever, especially DR.. Boynton, who asserts
without hesitation that the probabilities are
that there is sufficient vitality left to over
ride the present uniayorabIe symptoms;
but, on the other band, be is unwilling TO
grant that there Is anything to warrant a
sanguine opinion TO that effect.

LONDON, September I6.-Ihe Lancet OF
tins week says "Tbe reason OF the trou-
bic with President Garield's lungs is by
postatic congestion at their bases because OF
DEPRESSED respiration arising from long
redundancy. Sitting up will probably give
much relief; but until all signs Of affection
OF the lungs have disappeared the hopeful
progress constantly cabled here Is not well
founded, although it may prove a lucky
guess"

ELBERON, n. j., September 16-1l:1j A..
M.-The situation this morning is less
favorable, and grave anxiety exists as to
whether The President will be able to over
come the result OF his extreme debility.
Bed sores have again made their appear
ance, and the discharge iTom the wound is
very unsatisfactory.
THE PRESIDENT NOT HOLDING HIS 0WN-A RE-
PORTED CHANGE IN TaE POLICY OF THE
PHYSICIANS.
WASHINGTON, September 1G.-The Stars
Long Branch special says There is a good
deal of uneasIness at Elberon this morning
touching the Presidents condition. Last
night was a bad one, and the day opens
most iuauspiciously. A northeast storm
prevails. The atmosphere is muggy and
exceedingly damp, necesSi'ating the closing
OF every window in the Presidents room
and the keeping OF a good-sized wood fire.
The morning bulletin is not oneto give as
surance. The pulse is still high. and at
periods last night reached 120. The lung
still gives great uneasiDess and a good deal
more trouble. The President many times
throughout the day is racked by a violent
cough, brought on In his endeayor to eX-
pectorate phlegm. Then, the doctors now
concede that the trouble with the lung is
one fraught with the greatest danger.
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1881-09-17

more trouble. The President many times
throughout the day is racked by a violent
cough. brought on In his endeayor to eX-
nectorate phlegm. Then, the doctors now
coucede that the trouble with the lung is
one fraught with the greatest danger.
A LOSS OF STRENGTH.
This morning the President is not as
strong as be was yesterday morning. In the
mast eighteen hours he has not held his
own, but has refrigerated. The high fever
which besets him every day seems TO in
crease rather than diminish. The discharge
from the wound is unhealthy, circum'
scriDed. and watery. The food which Is
taken doe. not assimilate, and all the sem
eral conditions are decidedly unfayorable.
For the present il has been decided TO defer
fbe operatioD upon the lungs, contemplated
Yesterday, although the doctors now have
the necessary appliances.
ROSE COLOBED BULLETINS.
From now on the official bulletins viii
ap~proXimately state the true condition OF
the patients case. This was brought about
Inv Drs. Agnew and Hamilton. oulyoting
Bliss. The latter objected because the
President insists upon seeing every bulletin
issued, and up TO yesterday morning Inc
bulletins all along, 10 is nOw conceded, have
10 a lesser or greater extent been rose-col-
ored. There is no denying the fact that the
doctors now reluctantly admit that The
President has made no substantial progress
since he was removed from Washington.
He AGAIN longs for another ebange OF scene,
and al times expresses dissatisfaction with
his quarters. Ais admitted by Drs. AgOew
and Boynton that he has chronic pysmia,
and that it may take many weeks 10 eiAni'
nate il from his system.
THE ONLY HOPsFUL ONES
About the oDly persons at Elberon eo-day
~ no taIk az aIl hopefully are Colonies Swalns
and Rockwell. They insist that the Presi-
dent is better. Attorney General Macy eaeh
said lust nov, TO the eOnsternatioa OF sew,
eral journalists, that . crisis was eSpeeteu
within foriy.eight boars, and tbas the IesAH
was awaited with great anxiety. DR.. boyh'
