COnkling at the White House

Long Branch, 23.-On the report of
the news OF the Presidents unfavorabIe
condition there was much excitement.
Crowds surrounded the telegraph Office.
General Grant was among the people and
anxiously inquired for information.
When q copy Of Blaine's dispatch to
Lowell, United States minister at Lon
don, was received telling Of more fav-
orS Bile condition, many "God grant it"
was heard. a dispatch later from the
Presidents private secretary, saying the
President was sleeping quietly, somewhat
Gained the excitement. But crowds
continued around anxiously awaiting
more bulletins. The fire works display
announced for tonight to celebrate the
returning health of the president, WAS
prevented. Ball rooms sre tonight
deserted.
;, Saratoga, 23.-Rumors concerning the
change for the worse in President Gar
fields condition reached the race track
just as the first race was about started.
1t had magic effect. Horse racing was
dispelled from the minds of the brilliant
throng, and tie critical condition of the
President was eagerly discussed. A re-
port that the President was dead threw a
pail over the entire course.
Washington, 23.-The trouble with
the President seems to be the wound is
healing too fast from the exterior. The
sending for the surgeon was precaution,
not an act of panic. The physicians did
not want 10 be censured for not using
every means for the Presidents recovery.
DR.. Bliss believes the pus stopped flow
| irg because the wound has discharged
itself. There Isl no pyamis. DR.. Ham
ilton travelled from New York here in
five hours, and from Philadelphia in
three hours. The evening bulletin was
not very reassuring, for the Presidents
wound was being dressed when it was
taken, and there was fair discharge of
pus at that hour. The pulse had gone
up eighteen beats since pm.
Tonight Dr.. Hamilton talegrapbed |
his wife that the symptoms of the Pres |
ident were not so grave as l supposed |
when l left home. DR. Agnew teIe- |
Crippled his family: Things are favor |
able" These dispatches contain the |
only declaration that the surgeons would |
make up to 10 pm.
