ton was alarming, and adding shat he was

tomorrow. DR.. Bliss said that Yesterday

ton, whjQb he will not make public, whish
con vineed him the President was losing his
mind.
TIE PRESIDENT NRORMED OF HIS CONDITION..
subsequently, when the surgeons met for
consultation, DR.. hamilton announced that
be had been asked the same question. Du-
ring a lucid spell last night the President
called DIR. Agnew TO him. "DOctor." said
he, sam / not critically illi" Your con-
dttion is critical" was the frank response.
" thought So" r~elOined the President.

EXCITEMENT \ DEEP sOLiCITUDE.
The rigor which came on this morning,
Dr.. Hunter says, is an evidence that the
chronic state OF the blood-poisoning which
has beset the President for weeks is now
assuming an acute and dangerous form. "
more should follow the fever which is now
on, he says the end cannOt be FAR on. At
Elberon and Long Branch there is great
excitement, and the deepest soiicitude pre-
ysils. The day is clear but raw and chilly.
A RECURREXCE OF RIGoR FEARED.
As the day advances there is no appreciG-
bic Improvement. DR.. Boynton thus sums
up tue significance Of the morning chill /:
He saws II shows that chronic blood poison
ing stfl continues, to which is succeeded
pyemia i'm an acute form. While the doc
tors think there will be no recurrence Of
chills to-day, it is painfully apparent that
they fear such a recurrence. The President
at 2:30 O'Clock was sleeping, but breathing
heavily.
