INCIDENTS.
Flag Cottage, where the Presidents
body lies, is tied up with Grape, and
large portraits CT the President in Elbe-
ron are wreathed in black. The flag
over the military camp back of here
waves gloomily at half mast. The night
passed quietly. The guards moved
about the Cottage, and within the Presi-
dent lay on the bed where he has suf-
fered so bravely and died at last. War.
rem Young and Stanley Brown watched
over it during the night. Mrs. Garfield
went to her room in the adjoining cot.
tage, but paced the floor for hours to
gether. Bliss appeared early this morn
ing, quite broken down in appearance
He was the grestest mar, as patient,
have ever seen. There was never muir
muir from Elm. Certainly, if it i
necessary" was his invariable answer
when asked to endure any unpleasant
treatment. On, but he is changed nov
in appearance. He is so thin, and tn
light OF his eye, which was always fla
one, is gone out. His face has lost ii
natural expression. He has that THU
and cadayerous look that is so painful.
MacVesgh thinks the body will b,
taken directly to Washington by specia
tomorrow morning.
Mrs. Garfield is bearing up biavely
and doing well. Private Secretary
Brown, who watched with the body
says Mrs. Garfield exhibits great calm
ness and fortitude.
NEW QUESTION.
Long Branch, 20.-The cabinet. ex
cept Blaine and Lincoln, arrived al
1915, and went Immediately to Mac
Vesgh's cottage, In reference TO on in
quiry, Window said il was not yet def
nitely determined in regard to the
Inquest. He believed the authorit
were now looking up the law on the sub.
ject. It is maintained by persons &C
uusintea with the laws or the state that
an inquest cannot be prevented ifinsisted
upon, and in the event of a conclusion
that the Presidents death was induced
by gunshos wound, the criminals pres
ence can be demanded in the state. This
question is creating considerable excite
ment and annoyance, inssmuch IS if the
law is enforced in accordance with this
idea. the remains will be necessarily de-
lsyed here until GuittesC's arrival. The
state law is being examined. The dls-
trict attorney has been summoned.
The Presidents remarks to Col. Swain,
who was with MIN when he swoke from
his sleep. were: "Oh, Swain, what
pain" placing his hand on his heart,
i'can't you do something for me? On,
SWAIN At this time Mrs. Garfield
had been cut of the room fer about fifteen
minutes and had retired for the night.
Previous to going to his own room, DIR.
Bliss says he conferred with Mrs. Car
field on the general condition OF the
President and that she expressed the
opinion that her husband was not weary
and that he had awakened feeling COM
Portable and experiencing little or no
pain. It was about ten minutes past III
O'Clock, says DR.. Bliss, that the Presl-
dent awakened and complained OF Sc
we're pain In his heart. The doctor re-
ferred to the fact that the former sur
geons attending on the case had been
called here to attend the autopsy and that
Curtis, of Washington, had been selected
to do the cutting. DR.. Bliss SAID the
formation of blood clot IN the Vicinity
of the heart was the sequel Of the original
trouble.
New York, I9.-ITnseS' Long Branch:
The telegraph office in EIberon Hotel was
surrounded and there was shower OF
bulletins thrown upon the two paralyzed
operators. No more than the simple an
aouncement Of the death could be sent
off as the government at once took the
use of the telegraph at Eiberon. Per-
sonsl dispatches were sent. Warren
Young sent the first official announce
ment off to Washington and Mentor
The President had been dead half an
hour when at lilo Window, Hunt and
James arrived from the West End. They
went into the hotel Office, and were met
by Mac Veagh. who led them away to the
cottsge.
