The RigOr a Severe One.
DR. BLISS STATES GRAVE POssIBILIrY-HE MAY
DIE IN CHILL.
ELBERoN, Sept. 10, $50 a. m.-The rigor of
this morning lasted nearly twenty minutes and
was quite severe one. The President is re-
ported as having slept some since it subsidized,
but is now awake. He has taken a small guam
tity of nOurishment.
The frequency of the chills occasions grave
anxiety. DR.. Bliss is of opinion that if the
rigors continue for 4S hours the President can
not live. and it is quite possible that he will be
carried off in one of the chills.

rigor the Presidents pulse went up to 143
beats and was very feeble. At this hour it has
decreased to about 14O beats,
The patient is extremely weak, and there is
cause for great alarm. Dr. Bliss is of opinion
that the President may die in one of the rigors,
should they continue to be frequent
The Situation Decidedly Gloomy.
TNE PRESIDENT FAILS TO RALLY FROM THE
EFFECTS OF THE RIGOR.
ELBERON, Sept. 10, 1910 a.m.-Dr. Agnew
says the situation at this time is decidedly
gloomy and could not well be worse. The Pre-
sident has not rallied as usual from the effects
of the rigor. Much excitement prevails and the
worse fears are entertained, and justly so.
Last Night at Eberon.
A RECURRENCE OF RIGORS WHICH CAUSED
GREAT ANXIETY.
Until after the issuance of the evening
bulletin the Presidents condition while showing
no progress was not such as to cause renewed
alarm. With the exception Of the renewed
efforts which were employed to keen the tenn
perature from falling below the normal range.

ordinary character. In about an hour after the
evening bulletin was put out the comparatively
