ESPECIAL BY TELEGRAPH TO THE REcoRD.UNIoNl
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WAsHlNcroN, Au-
gust 15th-12:30 A. M.-Since the last bul.
letin the President has not again vomited,
and has been able to retain the nourishment
administered. At the morning dressing the
discharge of pus was free and of good char
acter. Since then his pulse has been more
frequent, but his temperature has fallen to a
little below what it was at this time yester-
day. At present the pulse is 11S, tempera-
ture 80. respiration 10. Signed by Bliss,

ANXIETY AT WASHINGTON.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, Au-
gust 18th = 2:15 P M.-Much anxiety is
exhibited throughout the city regarding the
Presidents condition, and numbers of inqui.
ries have been made at the Mansion through
out the day. The feeling throughout the
country was similarly manifested by the
large number of press correspondents who
called at the White House to receive the
1890 P. VI. bulletin for papers which they
represent. Aside from this many requests
for the latest news Rave been received from
the several executive departments. The tenn.
perature and respiration. as stated in the
last bulletin, are generally conceded as favor
able indications, but the pulse, which is given
as 1lS, causes considerable uneasiness in the
public mind. Since the issuance of the 1890
bulletin it has been impossible to confer di-
rectly with any one of the attending surgeons
Attorney General MacVeagh called short
time ago, and as he was leaving the White
House said, in reply to interrogatoriss, that
Agnew attributed the unusually high
pulse to the weakened condition of the
patients stomach by the nausea with which
he has been troubled. The Attorney General
said further that the surgeons informed him
that there were no indications of pus fever,
and they hoped they had overcome the
trouble from nausea. If no further trouble
from nausea is experienced it is thought that
the patient will soon rally from the bad effects
of the attack he has already had. The sur.
geons took the patients pulse about las
P. NJ, when it was 112-a drop of six beats in
less than two hours. At this hour Private
Secretary Brown, who has just come from
the surgeons room, says the pulse is still de-
creasing.
NO PERcEPTIBLE CHANGE
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, Au-
i,f1 rbo
ton remains about the same as when reported
at 2:15 P. NJ, excepting perhaps slight rise
in temperature caused by the usual afternoon
fever. The febrile iise, however, is said to
be no grearer than before. The patient has
been nauseated once since the last bulletin
was sent out. The surgeons refer to the last
official bulletin as about covering the case up
to this hour, with the exception OF the return
of the nausea, and show no disposition to talk
further on the subject The evening bulletin
is anxiously awaited by the public. At the
Executive Mansion there is perceptible
feeling of natural anxiety about the patient,
but no actual alarm exists on the contrary,
the present unfavorable symptoms are con.
sidered but temporary, and it is thought they
will soon pass away.
CONDITION LESS SATISFACTORY.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, Au.
gust 15.h-6:30 P. M-The irritability of the
Presidents stomach returned during the
afternoon, and he has vomited three times
since l o'clock. Although the afternoon rise
of temperature is less than it has been for
several days, the pulse and respiration are
mora frequent, so that lis condition is on the
whole less satisfactory. His pulse is now
100, temperature 80 6, respiration D. Signed

UNOFFICIAL BULLETIN-GRAvITY CT THE SIT
UATIoN.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, Au-
gust 15sh-s:30 P. M.-At this hour the in
formation obtained from the attending sur
geons is to the effect that while the indica.
tions are that the Presidents wound is doing
very well, and is apparently not the cause of
the present trouble, the fact cannot be con.
cealed that the patient is extremely weak,
and that his disability is such as to cause anx-
iety. 1t has been determined not to disturb
his stomach by permitting him to eat for the
present, and nourishment is being admins
tered by injections. The surgeons explain
the difficulty by the assertion that the Presi.
dents stomach has failed to respond as it
should-hence the determination to inject
nourishment. There is a decided feeling of
anxiety among members of the Cabinet and
attending surgeons, and at this writing the
situation is at least very grave. Nothing has
been heard from the sick room during the last
hour, and the Cabinet officers are now in
waiting to hear the latest news. Attorney
General MacVeagh said, in response to a
question, Eve have heard nothing since the
last bulletin was Issued. OF course we are
very anxious. We expect to hear something
very soon."
