WARRINGTON, Aug. 25-1O:20 A.
M.-Dr. Bliss reports the condition
of the President this forenoon about
the same as yesterday forenoon,
except that his pulse is little
higher. He was somewhat restless
at times during the night and did
not sleep quite as we'll as on Tues
day night. There has been no per-
ceptible change in the appearance
OF the inflamed parotid gland, and
two or three days may elapse be-
fore the swelling subsidies. Taking
every thing into consideration, the
patient has not gained any since
yesterday.

CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-The Tinaes's
special from Washington says that
evidently the final crisis in the
Presidents case has arrived. The
reticence of the doctors during the
day is finally explained. The sur
geons have given him up and are
now preparing to take desperate
chances. DR.. Hamilton last night
advised the removal of the Presi-
dent from the White House to Tall
lapoosa as q last chance for saving
his life. This course WAS not ap-
proved by DR.. Bliss and one or two
OF the consulting surgeons, and
II was thought best to have
conference with all the surgeons
in the case. Secretary Lincoln,
who came out for moments, in
answer to inquiries of the cores
pendent of the Times said: "There
10 no c0ncealing the fact that the
condition OF the President is abso-
lutely desperate. The opening of
the parotid gland to-day resulted

is the decision of the sur
Reons, Mrs. Garfield will
not consent to the Presidents
removal. She believes that NOV
ing him would merely accelerate
his death. The surgeons are bow
ed down with the great RESPONSE
btlity of the question presented to
them by DR.. Hamilton. DR.. Bliss,
when he left the Executive Man
sion to go to the depot to meet
DIR. Agnew, reeled like q drunken
man. He was 80 overcome with
fatigue and anxiety that his face
was almost black, the circles sur
rounding his eyes were pitiably
dark, while his lips were pale, his
eyes we're dead dull and spiritless
He has maintained a contest all
day with DIR. Hamilton on the re-
moval of the President. DIR. Bliss
believes that IL he Is moved he will
die In transit. The public should
pc prepared for the worst, as every
body about the White House now
considers that the hours of the
President are numbered.
