| the Vice President from the members of

| ing him of the Presidents condition.

/ has not been summoned, and that no action
regarding his coming here has been taken.

| ident's condition from here as he was from
Washington. Secretary Blaine is said to
be still in Augusta, Maine.
| HOPE ABANDONED.
ELBERoN, Sept. 19.-Dr. Boynton says
| there is no longer any doubt that the Pres
ident mmst soon die. DR.. Agnew admits
the chils are caused by an extension of the
| lung trouble This has not been acknowl-
edged by any of the physicians except DR..
Boynton before. The stoppage in the ex-
pectoration is not good sign as it indi
Gates that the
PENT UP PUS
is retained in the lungs. The pulse during
the last chill was so weak and feeble that
it could not be counted beyond 146 but it
went higher than that. The President is
not improving, he may last a week and
may last longer. 1t is impossible to make
| any predictions but the Presidents condi
ton is about as bad as it can be. Stimula-
ting enema is being administered.
NO HOPE.
