!herc was = significant inquiry made just
1ioW LOT an eminent lawyer who makes q
regular early visit to the White House. The
request was made By (. prominent member of
Tue executive force that the gentleman when
III came should be shown at once into Pfi-
Fate-occrctary Browns room. The showing
or the bulletin will be very unsatisfactory.
NO heures as to pulse or other
outward condition can be given that
VIII be. OF any sort Of significance,
Tor the reading OF one moment only
gives the state at that time, and may be falsi-
fed the next. No doubt is expressed now
by the inmates Of the house of the fact that
the end has really begun. The last ray of
hoDe has fled, and a season Of more or less
length Of waiting for the patient sufferer to
breathe his last is felt to have arrived. Mrs,
Garfield still maintains her composure, and
1t is thought she will keep up to the end
Hopes are entertained of the Presidents re-
manning conscious to tho end. That is the
most that is expected at this hour.

The following extra is issued: sue's
worth more than a dead man, said one Of
the attendants who had bccn in the sick
room; but the truth is he is much worse
The last time DR.. Bliss was seen was ut 8
o'clock. Lie was then nervous and alarmed.
The rise OF the pulse to $50 was Indicative of
more even than the figures showed. Along
with this Increase in the number of beats
came all oMinous decrease III firm
ness. From this time the pulse Hut
tered up and down, not remaining
apparently Mt the same rate for
more than few moments at q time. Mrs.
Garfield was III and out of the sick-room
more than Oil any other night Col. Ruck-
well was OIL watch the latter part Of the pc
riod. lie could give l1er but faint eDcour-
agement, except that his mind was clear.
The messages sent by Priyate-Secretary
Brown to the Cabinet were that the ildica-
tons we're not so favorable this morning.
There was no Immediate alarm, however.
The cfearness of the Presidents mind was
the only grain of comfort to be CLEANED.
Otherwise the indications all point to all
early dissolution, tWenty-four hours being
the utmost limit assigned by any at the
Mansion"

4 few moments ago Mrs. Garfield came
from the sick room and said to DR.. Bliss: ~
