The State Department is flooded
with telegrams OF coincidence from
all parts of the United States and
from foreign lands Of which the
above are fair samples.
The above dispatches comprise all
the intelligence with reference to the
assassination up to the hour OF our
going to press-3:30, p. m. The re-
suit of SATURDAY, terrible tragedy
still remains in T. abt and the entire
country is shrouigdin gloom. Under
the most favora = circumstances
the struggle betweei life and death,
must be dreadful oDc, and that the
President is still in a lIost critical
condition is beyond question:
Should he pass through the balance
of the day as well rs he has done SO
far, the chances viii be strongly in
his favor. That he may do so will
be the prayers that viii go forth
from every honest, American heart
and will be accompanied by the
wishes of the whole civilized world.
