patience of the waiting people was not al layed. Only crumb of comfort was gath cred from the evening bulletin. There wal a rise in temperature which had been post poned if not warded of, while little satlsfac. ton was gained from the mere fact that nc ground had been lost on the street bulletin which caused occasional foreboding. The | crowd that had collected before the White House heard the news in silence and most of them slowly walked away. "He will die be- fore morning" was heard on many sides but those few who were there still cling to the hope that morning will see him better. At | the White House anxiety prevails. Other members of the clerical force are l divided between hope and fear, showing that the late universal feeling of confidence among 1 them is gone. An unfortunate feature of the | evening has been the meagerness Of news 1 from the sick room. The doctors remain in l their own room and the nurses don't go l back and forth so much. The family and l Cabinet sometimes sit an hour or so without seeing or hearing directly from the doctors. l After the evening bulletin nothing could be l learned from the sick room except that the President had gone to sleep at p. m and no morphia had been administered. In the absence of further information the supposi- l tion was accepted that he grew no worse. Following was sent this evening: Since slight rise in temperature.

 The cabinet all went home soon after 10 o'clock. Mrs. Garfield went to bed before l p. m-, and at that hour the doors of the White House were closed. The physicians gave assurances that there was no great danger to be expected to- day. and the mansion soon assumed it's normal state. Secretary Blaine is not ex- pected until tomorrow.

 The Excitement in the AIetropslis. NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-The greatest excite ment prevailed tonight in this city over the condition of the President, and the various hotels and club houses were thronged from an early hour with all classes of citizens in search of the latest news from Washington. But few bulletins were received which seemed to increase the anxiety and expres- sions of regret and fear were heard every where. The corridors of the Fifth avenue Hotel were almost impossible with merchants, bankers and politicians who dis cuscussed the situation, and when extras were issued at late hour they were eagerly purchased and quickly scanned for the latest news Senator Logan and ex-Senator Conk- ling remained at the hotel the entire evening and received buhfew callers. Vice President Arthur remained at his residence in Lexing- ton avenue the entire day and dur ing the evening he received several cal | lers. Among them were General Grant, Sen- l ator Jones of Nevada, ex-District Attorney Bliss and Commissioner French. The Vice President said he had not received any dis raatches frnra NaShi.,crta1, a.,&sida of tLa
