New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1881-07-05
NETWORK. TUESDAY. JULY s. 1881.

ent the following statement, which he said had been
furnished by Dr. Agnew before he left for Philade-
pha:
iacerated the pain III the feet probably caused by
chord.
At later hour it was reported that the physicians
had succeeded in overcoming the pain in the feet,
| ana that the President was resting easier.
| PUBLIC ANXIETY INCREASED.
| When the bulletin of 1890 published it was
announced that another consultation would be held
| and q bulletin issued at O'clock This not
done, and that caused an increase of anxiety. One
OF the physicians gave that the President
was more restless at O'clock and 1t was thought
best not to make an examination at that hour. 1t
was understood also, that the nausea of the stomach
had increased. and that this I'M crercd to
tent with the examination being made. The failure
to issue bulletin at the time advertised created a
1eeling OF dependency. and there fears ex-
pressed on all sides that the physicians had really
given up all hope of the patients recovery. These
Tears were gr0undcss to the extent that the
physicians had not given up all hope. In fact they
had expected and had repeatedly said during the
earlier part of the day that as night drew on tho
crisis in the Pre- 'idents would be likely to ap-
proach and that the symptoms would probably be
! less favorable.
| APPREHENSION DEEpENED.
| Again as night approached apprchensOns deep
encd both in the public mind and in the minds of
the Presidents attendants and friends All day,
while hopeful reports were being put forth, it was
said by those competent to form correct opinions
that another critical periOl would occur at night.
The crowds around the outer gates Of the Executive
! grounds, which had dwindcd during portion
of the day TO less than 100 persons, goodly pro-
portion being colored mcn, again mere sed in the
early evening to nearly or quite 1000. the greater
proportion being the substantial people of the city,

faces had been witnessed all day the effect of the

The apprchcnSiOns apparently instructive in
their origin, for no one competent to speak authori

INTERPRETED TO MEAN THE WORST
This was universally intcrprc cd at once as n con-
| nihillon OF tie apprthcnSlonS which had been
entertained and whispered about during the proceed

said to each other in hushcd whispers that the end
was probably approaching. Yet there il hope

While public opinion and public hopes
have thus wavcrcd during the day.

Other members of the Cabinet especially as even

hope for favorable turn.
An old personal friend Of the President who was
admitted to his bedside and sat with him for an
hour TINS morning, and who we'll qualified to

litie reason to warrant the hopes which were being
