The President has been having ups and
downs, but on the whole / think now

dition shows it. The discharge from

again made their appearance. He
formerly had some and was
much troubled and annoyed by
them; they disappeared, however, and
there has been no trouble recently from
them, but they have now again made
their appearance. These sores are the
result of the greatly exhausted condi-
ton of the patient, and the long contin-
ued confinement to his bed, and in his
very weak stale they are troublesome.
There is no material change in the lung
trouble, but there is Il continuance OF
disturbing dreams, extending into wax
ing hours. Hallucinations continue and
are more marked. am not willing TO
grant that there is sufficient ground for
any sanguine assurance that the Presi-
dent will recover, although do believe
that he has sufficient vitality to bear his

Points to Pyaemia

New YORK, Sept. 15-1he Posts
Long Branch special says; The reason,
or one reason for the delay of the bulle-
tin this morning was the care expended
by the surgeons on its phraseOlogy. For
the first time the surgeons commit them
selves TO the statement that the Presi-
dent suffers from chronic blood poison
ing. Their language is intended to be
reassuring but it is easy 10 see that they
feel anxiety as to the issue of the COM
plications 10 which they refer. The Ian
guage of the morning bulletin e&cites
general comment In the light of the
history Of the case it has great sigRifi-
canoe. The surgeons in charge have
from the first been exceedingly reluctant
to admit the presence Of blood poisoning
in dangerous degree. This may be due
to two reasons. First, to admit the pres
ence or chronic pyamia is 10 acknowl-

ELBERON, Sept. 16.-The situation is less
favorable, and grave anxiety exists as TO
whether the President will be able to
overcome the results of his extreme de-
biluy. Bed sbres have again made their
appearance, and the discharge from the
wound is very unsatisfactory.
LOSING RATHER THAN GAINING.
While there are no new complications
in the Presidents case, his general con-
dition indicates that he has not made
any gain during the past 4S hours. In
fact there has been slight falling off.
The wound has assumed more un-
healthy appearance and the dis
charge has been growing more un-
satisfactory since yesterday MORN
ing. Small bed sores have again made
their appearance. DR.. Boynton says he
still has hopes that the President will
be able to pull through. His mind has
been somewhat disturbed during the
day as well as during the night, and
there is still Il continuance of suppura-
ton of the parot:d gland. On the whole,
the situation is one of anxiety. The
surgeons and attendants, however, eX-
press themselves in hopeful terms. c.
o. Rockwell, one of the Presidents
attendants is authority for the statement
that the perspiration which has been
one OF the annoying features OF the
Presidents case, has Teappeared. Coils.
Rockwell and Swain entertain different
opinions, the latter declaring it has not
reappeared. 1t is reliably asceriained
that the Presidents pulse reached $50

fact that the febriie rise was not so pro-
n0unced as usual.
