BULLETIN.

EXECUTIVE MANSION, August 10,
1:25 P. M.-Much anxiety is exhibit
ed throughout the city regarding
the presidents condition, and num-
bers of inquiries have been made at
the White House during the day.
A feeling throughout the country
was similarly manifested by larger
numbers of newspaper correspon-
dents who called at the White
House to receive the 1890 afternoon
bulletin for their respective papers
which they represented from this
city. Many requests for the latest
news have been received from sew
eral executive departments. The
presidents temperature and respi-
ration, as stated in last bulletin, are
generally conceded as favorable in
dications, but his pulse, which is
given at 118, causes considerable I'M
easiness in the public mind. Since
the issuance Of the last official bull
letin it has been impossible to confer
directly with any of the attending
surgeons.
Acknowledgement McVeagh call
ed short time ago and as he was
leaving the White House said in
reply to a question, that DIR. Agnew
attributed the unusually high pulse
to the weak condition of the pa
tient, caused by nausea with which
he has been troubled. The attorney
general said further that the sur
geons informed him there were in
dications of pus and fever, and that
they hoped they had overcome
the trouble caused by nausea. If no
further trouble from that cause is
experienced it is thought that the
patient will soon rally from the bad
effects of the attack he has already
had. The surgeons took the pa
TENTS pulse at .1:45 this evening
when it was 112, being decrease
of six beats in less than two hours.
At this hour Private Secretary
Brown who has just come from the
surgeons room says his pulse is still
decreasing.
UNOFFICIAL BULLETIN.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, $50 P. M
At this hour information obtained
from the attending surgeons is to the
effect that the indications are that
the presidents wound is doing very
well and is apparently not the cause
of the present trouble. The fact can
not be concealed that the patient is
extremely weak and that his inabili-
ty is such as to cause anxiety. 1t
has been determined not to disturb
his stomach by permitting him to
eat for the present and nourish-
ment is being administered by
means of injections. Surgeons
anticipate difficulty by the asser-
ton that the presidents stom-
ach has failed to respond as it
should. They have determined to
inject nourishment. There is de-
clded feeling of anxiety among the
members of the cabinet and attend
ing surgeons, and at this writing the
situation is very grave one. Moth
ing has been heard from the sick
room during the last hour, and the
cabinet officers are now waiting to
hear the latest news. Attorney
general McVeigh has just said, in re-
ply to question: ave have heard
nothing since the last bulletin was
issued. OF course we expect to
hear something very soon."
