EXECUTIVE MANSION, 4.30 p. m.-Dr.
Woodward in a conversation with Secretary
Hunt about fifteen minutes ago said there
was no perceptible change in the President
and that the symptoms are very favorable.
EXECUTIVE MsNsIos sis p. m.-The

broth a short time ago, aud has retained
it. He is resting about the same as when
his condition was last reported.
WASHINGTON, July 4.-6.20 p. m.-There
is a strong feeling outside of the White
House that the Presidents condition is
more critical at this time than it has yet
been. This impression rests undoubtedly
on remarks privately made by those who
are conyersant with the case and whose
avenues of information are of the best
possible character No official bulletin
will probably be issued at present,
and it is held that the physicians in attend
ance are deferring a bulletin in hopes that
t a change for the better will occur shortly.
The anxiety which has been very intense
all the afternoon has certainly deepened a
great deal in the last hour, and, in the city
at least, the graTest apprehensions are en-
tertained of a fatal issue.

WASHINGTON, July $40 P. M-Sur-
geon-General Barnes says the Presidents
death will occur before midnight
EXECUTIVE MANSION July 4-9. 20 P. M
The Presidents condition tonight is ad-
mitted by his attending physicians to be
more unfayorable than it has been during
the day, but the change is not regarded as
especially alarming for the reason
that increased pulse and temper
ature, which are it's most marked features,
were observed at about the same time Satur-
day evening and last evening and last night.
The day, too, has been extremely warm and
close, and the President has been more Oh
. less restless from that cause and the pain
due to the laceraton of the nerves leading
: to the feet. The attending physicians are
very reluctant to express any positive opin
, ion upon the facts stated in to-night's
official bulletin, but they are hope
full that the temperature will fall anG
pulse grow less rapid during the night, as
was the case last night, and that the con
Of 4bo
will not be worse than it was this morning
! Should these anticipations be realized, the
attending physicians say they will have
very strong hopes of the Presidents fna
recovery.
Since the date of the last official bulletin,
:; 7.45 p. m, his temperature and pulse have
slightly decreased, which is taken as an in
dlcation that the views above expressed arr
not without foundation. At the presen
time, all that can be positively said is tha
the situation of the President is critical, bu
:, that there are indications of an abatemen
- of the unfayorable symptoms.
Postmaster-GeneralJ James and Secretar,
- Hunt express themselves as confidently hope
