assembling this morning for the usual exami

so far increased as to dwarf ali other con
ditions. The dressing of the wound and glant
showed there had been but small discharges
from either, and these were wa
terry in appearance. The edges
of the wound were fabby and the granulatior
of lighter color. The lungs are evidently al
fected, and should the patient live long enough
will probably have to pass through seige O1
suffering with them. The Presidents sons
were informed at an early hour of the change
for the worse. They had been sleeping on
cots in the corridor, neither having undressed
for the night. The children went into the
sick room about half past seven. They spoke
cheerfully to their father and the daughter
kissed him. They remained but few mo-

There was significant inquiry made this
morning about an eminent lawyer who makes
regular early visits to the White house. The
request was made by prominent member of
the executive force and was to the effect that
the gentleman when he came should be at once
shown into Secretary Browns room.
BLAINE's AFTERNOON REPORT.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-The following has
just been filed, addressed to Minister Lowell,
at London: "There has been no change for
the better in the Presidents condition since
morning. His fever has risen, and his pulse
at this hour, 2 p. M, is 100. His physicians
do not regard the case as hopeless, but very
dangerous and critical"
(Signed), BLAINE, Secretary.
COL. ROCKWELL DON'T GIVE UP.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, Aug.
81, 2:2O p. m.-The Presidents condition re-
mains unchanged. Some of the Presidents
intimate personal friends and attendants still
cling to the hope of his recovery. Col. Rock
we'll, in conversation this afternoon, said,
with much emphasis and feeling: ''Notwith-
standing the discouraging bulletins and all
that has been said, and Notwithstanding the
dispatches which have been sent far and wide
over the country, tell you the President is
not dying, and shows no signs of dying. do
not speculate as to the chance of the future.
The present is enough for me. He is not dy-
ing now. Not ten minutes since, heard him
tell Col. Swain, who stood by his bedside, that
ne GnOuguC ue Iclt UttttI Iuitu uC ulu ycotCI-
day. A long while ago, in talking to me
about himself, General Garfield said with
me it is always the unexpected which hap
pens.' I believe the unexpected may happen
once more in the Presidents life, and that he
may yet surprise the country by getting well. :"
LATEST AFTERNOON REPORTS.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 26.-Everything is
quiet about the White house at this writing,
and everyone is waiting with anxiety the

will work the beginning OF the end. No bull
letins have been issued since noon, and only
Woodward and Edison were at the White
house. None of the members of the cabinet
have put in an appearance since the adjourn
ment of their consultation at noon. The re-
port is again in circulation that proclama-
tion cal ling Congress in extra session is in
the hands of Secretary Blaine, to be issued
this afternoon. Reports from the sick room
say there has been no change in the Presi-
dents condition. The doctors continue
the administering of stimulants to prolong
life.
