his fingers, which caused slight hemor-

THE MORNING SCENE OUTSIDE THE DEPOT.
WASHINGTON, June 2.-Before the
| President was removed from the depot
| this noon, no one was permitted to enter
| the building except those whose pres
ence was absolutely required. By some
unaccountable means news was conveyed
to the multitude in the streets to the eff
| feet that although the President was 1ot
dead he was mortally wounded That
caused gloom to settle down upon the
| city like a great pail and vast con-
course of people waited patiently outside
the depot for news from within. They re-
minded one strongly of friends and rela-
tives of dying man waiting to cross a
room to the chamber of death.
The suspense was dreadful Business
men and ladies, with faces pale with ex-
citement, and eyes bloodshot with strain
ing, stared ixedly at the door of the de-
pot, and strove painfully to learn or
divine something about the wounded man
| within. At last the door opened and one
of the doctors came cut. The throng
pressed closely around him and begged
for information. The medical man said:
s'He is not dead; he is not in any imme-
| date danger, and in fact there are hopes
of his recovery" In a moment these
| words were carried to all the people pres
ent, and transmitted from lip to lip and
| from lip to wire all over the country. The
city drew long breath and the excite
| ment, which had been at white heat thus
far, cooled off,
Then there was stir on the outer edge
of the crowd and people were moved out
Of the way and left every way to make
room for an ambulance, which had been
summoned to transport the suffering
President to the White House. Tenderly
was he borne from the building to the
vehicle, and quietly and gently was he
laid on the mattraSs therein. Then the
vehicle drove off slowly to the White
House, followed at a respectful distance
by the crowd. When he reached there
he was borne inside and was followed by
the Surgeon General, Dr. Bliss, who had
attended him from the first, and other
physicians. The friends of the wounded
chief stood sorrowfully about him, and
the doors were closed between him, his
future, and the thousands who stood in
the highways and by-ways of the city
awaiting the end.
AT FOUR O'CLOCK.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, P. M.-The fol-
lowing official bulletin has just been is
