Washington waiting for the End.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 19.-This city is waiting prepared to hear the worst at any moment. There is no hope left. Even those who were most sanguine have at last given up. The conflicting reports which have been afoat all day only added to the general anxiety that prevailed and tonight the only topic on the streets and in the ho- tels is the Presidents condition. Bad news travels quickly and it was probably hardly an hour after a private dispatch had been re- ceived at the Treasury department this after noon saying ''Mrs. Garfield has given up all hope'' before the news was known all over the city, or at least in it's most frequent ed portions It but confirmed the general feeling that all was over. dispatch sent here to day by Attorney General MacVeagh gave warning of the approaching dissolution.

Although Secretary Kirkwood telegraphed that he would be detained at Long Branch several days as the situation was critical, he evidently did not regard death as an immedl- ate possibility, but there was nothing even in his dispatch on which to hang any hope. To night the feeling has not changed. The question is not twill he die," for his death within short time is considered certain, but will the end come tonight ? The telegraph and newspaper offices were thronged with anxious crowds up to a late hour.

COLONEL ROCKWELL STILL HOPEFUL.

Colonel Rockwell came from the Presi- dents bedside at 5:30 p. m. ahd said: 1.-The Presidents case is not hopeless and none of those who are about his bedside have said that it was. Now mean just what I say. There are two kinds of cases about which the term not hopeless is used When it is used in relation to one kind of ab- solute certainty of which there can be no doubt. The expression means simply a hope against fate in the other kind the re- suit remains absolutely uncertain and the ex- pression not hopeless means that there are reasonable reasons for hope that turn for the better may yet come. The Presidents case at present is one of the latter, and when I say that his case is not hopeless mean that there are actually existing chances for his re- covery have always believed he would get well, and still think he will. I could not perhaps give what you would accept req sonabie grounds for this belief. l. am with the President great deal and I believe he will recover, because from day to day and hour to hour see many things which the doctors never see, and which in the aggre- gate make large foundation for the belief that he will recover. can see in General Garfield pretty good stock of fighting ing. When he gives up then will strike my flag but not until then even if 1t goes to the water. He has never given up yet. Why yesterday he said to me, I perfectly realize how critical my condition is, Rockwell, and no man realizes more.' He has no idea of dying, and have no idea that he will die. He will be the first man to know when the fight is at an end and he will quietly tell us when he is going to give up the struggle for life. When he does tell us then will say the case is hopeless.
