A CHEER WAS GIVEN
from the waiting crowds on 18th street as the
soldiers entered the grounds. The foot men
staged their guns In front and to the east OF
the building, and sentries were detailed to pa
troll the grounds. The policemen at the gates
were very strict In prohibiting the admission OF
visitors. There were hundreds Of people In front
OF the grounds Men, women and children
chung to the iron pickets Of the fence. and the
approaches to the gates were SUR ounded by q
crowd OF people eagerly awaiting reports of the
Presidents condition. Representatives OF the
press and prominent public men were admitted
to the grounas and as they returned from the
Executive Mansion they were surrounded by
tho waiting crowds, and virtually compelled TO
tell all that they knew regarding the sufferer.
LADIES AT TIE WHITE HOUSE.
There were several ladies at the White House.
Mr1 Macveagh was informed OF the ATTEMPTED
assassination a. soon a. the catastrophe oc-
CURED. She went ct once to the White House,
and personally supervised arrangements for the
Presidents reception before he was removed
from the depot. Mrs. Blaine was also one OF
the ffst OF the ladies to reach the Executive
Mansion. She had not gone to the depot ana
after hearing the sad news did al that lay In
her power to make the sufferer comfortable.
MIA Hunt and Mrs WINDOW also visited the
White House. An OF the members OF the Cab.
met were there, occupying seats In the private
ONCE. awaiting reports OF the physicians who
were with the President.
TIE FoRRIGN MSDfxRs.
The news Of the attempt upon the Presidents

On the arrival OF the prisoner at headouar-

been sent In every direction for physicians, DR..
Townshend, the health officer, responded, and
subsequently DR.. J.. II. Baxter, of the army. DR.
Wells, OF the navy, and DR.. D. W. Hiss re-
sponded. After OBTAINING the train a few min.

word came out OF the room In which the Presl.
dent had been taken that the wound ON the
body was not necessarily fatal; but that the
BAH could not be probed for until later,
and that one ball had wounded him In
the right arm just below the shoulder.
This seemed to relieve the crowd somewhat
and while It became more and more dense It
quietly awaited further ews. Rev DR.. sunder-

THK BLOOD OF THE PRESIDENT.

The President was attired in q suit Of grey
mixed stuff, and his trousers and waistcoat
were soaked In blood. While the physicians
were with him the room adjoining was
crowded with members Of the Cabinet, ladies
ard others, who anxiously awaited any It'd
ings.
THE ASSASSIN DIsAPPoINTED OFFICE SEEKER.
In the meantime the question as to who the
assassin was, was discussed, and 1t was stated
that he was lawyer from Chicago. who had
been here for some weeks applying for posi-
ton as consul, but had failed to get it, and 1t
was limited that he had recently had an inter.
view with the President, at which something
had passed which it was not 1udicious to use at
present, as 1t would so influence the public
mind that blOodshed would follow,
REMOVAL OF TIE PRESIDENT TO TIE WHITE HoUs,
At about 10 o'clock Major Brock having, after
consultation with Gen. Sherman. ordered out
large detail of the police force, the police
ambulance was driven to the front door of the
depot and the President was borne down the
steps to the ambulance, In which he was
placed with difficulty, owing to the surging OF
the crowd. When they started down the steps
the President appeared to be sleeping and was
deathly pale. but just as he was placed In the
ambulance he opened his eyes. The streets In
the neighborhood of the depot were lined with
people, also the avenue.
THE WOUND SAID 10 BIZ FATAL.
After the President left one OF the physicians
stated that the wound was Just below the short
ribs and passed obl1quely just above the kid
neys, involving the liver, and that the ball
could not be found. at least at this time; that
the President was evidently having an internel
hemmorhage and the question of his death was
one Of a few hours only.
