CHICAGO, Sept. 12.-The follow

ton always had the reputation ol
telling the strictest truth about the
Presidents case, and has never
made statement which the pro.
gress of the disease has not veri.
dsd. He declared that septic@ ma
would occur before others admitted
it. Last night he said "the
President had very bad day, his
pulse being at times 130. He is not
doing we'll, and believe there is
no longer a doubt that his lungs
are Affected. He had to be urged
to eat yesterday. and q small wood.
cock would make him four meals.
He was not sure that an abscess
had formed on the lungs, but If
formed feared II would lead tn

Bliss even admitted bronchial con-
gestion q month ago. The ply
sicians are determined to
give no Information Of
an alarming character unless
the patients condition Is absolute
ly desperate. For this reason
nothing was said about the affec-
tlon of the parotid gland until the
swelling had assumed such propor-
4ions AS to cause doubt in the
minds Of the doctors as to whether
the President could live through II,
and for the same reason no men,
tion was ever. made in the
bulletins Of the small alb.
scesses which have formed,
discharged and partially healed on
different parts of the Presidents
body. This concealment is not in
spired by any desire to deceive the
public, but simply to prevent what
the physicians believe to be un-
necessary alarm. The personal re-
lstions existing between the cor
respondents aud persons directly
connected with the case have thus
enabled them to keep the public
quite accurately informe ed of what
is transpiring in the sick room.
The only sequel to the ipf1amed
condition of the parotid gland is
the inability of the President to
close the eyelid tight in winking.
This is due to temporary paralysis,
and will be entirely overcome

dent's case.
ELBERoN, Sept. IL, IL P. M.-To
sum up the day, as far as the Presi-
dent Is concerned, IL has been very
nnfavorable. In the first plece the
Presidents lungs were acknowl.
edged to be affected. Second, his
affection is not claimed to be under
control, hence 1t is liable to in.
crease. Third, If 1t increases, alb
scesses will undoubtedly be the re.
suit, and may form around the
lungs, liver or other vital parts. In
fact 1t is an undecided question to.
night whether or not Assesses
have not already formed, and evil
dsnce appears to be that they have.
The situation Is again critical, to
say the least, and unless thu Is
proof established to the contrary,
there 10 good ground for believing
chat py aemia has set in.
