Deep anxiety Prevailing in the Presi

ing.

Executive Mansion, Washington,
Aug. 16, $50 am.-The president was
somewhat restless and yomited several
times during the early part of the night.
Since 3 O'Clock this morning he has not
vomited, and has slept TRANQUILITY most
of the time. Nutritious enemata are
successfully employed to sustain him;
altogether his symptoms appear less ur-
gent than yesterday afternoon. At pres
ent his pulse is no; temperature 9s.6;
respiration Is.
Chicago, IL ANA private dispatch
from the presidents bedside says: The
president is better than yesterday after
noon, and about the same as at mid
night. There is no trouble with the
wound, all is in the stomach; all de-
pends upon the present means of nour-
ishment being sufficient until the
stomach begins to act. There is less
alarm In the white house than out of it.
A slight improvement is reported since
the morning bulletin and no further
nausae.
11:15, a.m.-Private Secretary Brown
come from the surgeons room few
minutes ago and reported the president
then sleeping. No morphia has yet
been injected, and there has been no re-
port of nausae since 8 a. m. Two enc
mata have been successfully admins
tered since midnight. Secretary Brown
says the morning dressing showed the
wound was in perfectly healthy con-
dition. The members of the cabinet ar
rived at various times during the early
morning. Attorney General MacVeagh
accompanied by DR.. Agnew, arrived at
the mansion about half past seven,
when he returned from the private part
OF the house, he expressed his opinion
that while there was yet hope. the pa
tient was certainly in q very critical
condition. There is not a visible de-
spondent expression on the faces of
those having access to the presidents
chamber, and the greatest reticence is
observed. especially by the attending
surgeons who do not enter the business
portion of the house unless il is abso-
lutely necessary. The despondent ex-
preston of Attorney General Mac
veagh was especially noticeable. Short
ly after nine O'Clock, the cabinet off,
GERS, with the exception Of Lincoln who
arrived at a late hour, having just re-
turned from New York, left the white
house for their respective departments.
The day bids fair to be one Of anxious
waiting' The midday bulletin is anx-
iously awaited.
1890 p.m,-The president has been
tranquil, and has not vomited since
this mornings bulletin was issued ;;::but
has not yet rallied from the prostration
of yesterday afternoon as much as was
hoped. The enemata administered are
however, still retained. at present his
pulse is ia; temperature 9S.3; rcspira-
tion 18. .
p.m.-Miss Edison, one of the at
tendants upon the president retired at
O'Clock this morning and did not leave
the mansion for her home until noon.
Previous to her departure she said the
presidents case at this time was certain
ly critical, but she still had hopes Of his
recovery. The trouble with the presi-
dents stomach evidently had nothing
to do with the condition of the wound.
The wound is nearly healed.
2:45 p.m.-There was nothing definite
to be learned at the white house except
that the president was no batter. An
onerous silence and ouietude prevails
nothing could he beardlfrom the sur-
