ELBERoN, N. J., Sept. 16.-9 A. NJ
Official-At the examination of the prcsi
dent at $50 this morning the Temperature
was 9S.G, pulse 104, respiration 81. Th'
febrile rise during the night was not a!
pronounced as it usually has been. There
was at times considerable acceleration OF
pulse. He, however, slept comparatively
we'll and took stimulants and nourishment
as directed. The cough was somewhat
more troublesome during the first part OF
the night, and the expectoration rather
more purulent. The discharge from the
wound is less abundant, and not quite as
healthy in appearance. The pulse, how
ever, has more volume, and his general
condition does not seem to have mater
tally changed in any respect.

Grave Anxiety.
| ELEERoN, Sept. 1G.-10:15 A. M.-The
situation this morning is less favorable,
and grave anxiety exists as to whether the
president will be able to overcome the rc-
suit of his extreme debility. Bed sores
have again made their appearance, and tho
discharge from the wound is very unsatis-
factory. In fact he has made no gain, and
! there has been gradual but not marked
falling of.
There are no now complications or in-
dications if any, but the general condition
of the patient show that he has not made
any repair during the past 4s hours. Hence
he is not considered to be in as good con-
dition this morning. The wound has as
sumed a more unhealthy appearance and
the discharge from it has been growing
moro unsatisfactory since yesterday morn-
ing. There is no decided difference in the
discharge of this morning from that of
last night, but it is of no better character.
Small bed sores have again made their
appearance. These, DIR. Boynton says,
are caused from constant lying in bed and
are attributable principally to the extreme
debility of the patient. These sores have
appeared heretofore, but recently they
healed and for some days have not been Il
disturbing or annoying feature in the
case. The circulation of tho patient, DR..
Hamilton says, is good, and the pulse is
not of 4 more depressed or unfavorable
character than it has been.
Tho Presidents Mind Wandering.
Tho anxiety which now prevails1sis
whether Or not the president will be able
to withstand the burden which he is now
carrying. DR.. Boynton says that he still
has hope that he will, but it is a question
which can only be determined by the
future. The patients mind. is also very
weak, and shows evidence of disturbance
by the continued hallucinations. These
conditions are apparent throughout the day |
now which indicates that the general situa-
tion is less hopeful than it has of late been
pictured. There is still continuance of |
tile s,lppuration of the parotid gland.
Not SO Favorable.
LONG BRANCH, Sept. 1G.-1O:2J A. NJ
The president passed fairly good night.
During the carly part, however, he was |
considerably troubled with coughing, more
so than ON the previous night. His gen
eral condition while not materially
changed is not 50 favorable this morning.
DIR. Boynton Hoping Against Hope.
On the whole the case may be summed
up with the assertion that tie present is a
moment Of extreme anxiety and devoid of
sufficient ground for assuming that the
patient will overcome the excessive dcbil-
ity which has established itself. All are
hopeful, however, especially DR.. Boynton,
who asserts his opinion without hesitation
that the probabilities arc that there is
sufficient vitality left to override the pre-
sents,,"favorable symptoms, but on the
other hand lie is unwilling to grant that
there is anything to warrant a sanguine
opinion to that effect.
Mr.. G. o. Rockwell, one of the presi-
dents attendants, is authority for the
statement that the perspiration which has
been one of the annoying features Of the
presidents condition, has reappeared. Coils
Rockwell and Swain, however, appear to
different opinion on the subject !
and declare that it has not rcappcarcd.
The attendants upon the president say !
that his quarters are perfectly comfortable
and unless it should become extremely |
cold no apprehension is felt about keeping
The cottage at 4 desirable temperature. In
order to do this, however, it may become
to place stove in the room to
take tho place of the crate fire.
Pulse $50 Last Night.
1t is reliably asce1tained that the prcsi-
lcnt's pulse reached 1870 during the night,
the fact that the febrile
rise was not SO pronounced as it usually
has been.
ExtIem Debility Cause for Alarm.
ELBERON, Sept. 1G.-1:1O =. M.-The
presidents condition st this hour is un
changed. Attorney General MacVeagh
the case as warranting extreme
anxiety, but maintains that while there is
no particular point which can be said to
have developed to an alarming extent, the
general condition which includes the
debility of tho patient is neccs-
sarily one Of grave apprehension.
