WAsHINToN, July Al p. M.-The
president continues to improve slowly.
The physicians hopes are strong. No
inflammation yet. The weather is very
favorable, cool and fresh.
WASHINGTON, July 4.-2 P. M.-The
president has slept a good deal since
the last bulletin, though occasionally
suffering from pains in both feet and
ancles. Pulse 1874, respiratson IS, tcm-

president is by no means out Of danger
yet, his symptoms continue favorable.

WASHINGTON, July 4.-6:25 p. m.-
There is a strong feeling outside Of the
white house that the presidents condi.
ton is more critical at this time than it
has yet been. This impression rests
undoubtedly on the remarks privately
made by those who are conversant with
the case, ard whose avenues Of infor-
nation are of the best possible charac.
ter. No official bulletin will probably
be issued at present, and it is held that
the physicians in attendance are defer
ing the bulletin in the hopes that a
change for the better will occur shortly.
The anxiety which has been very in
tense all the afternoon, has certainly
deepened a great deal in the last hour,
and in the city at least the gravcst ap-
prehensions are entertained of fatal
ISSUE.
WASHINGTON, July 4.-9:40 p. m.-
Surgeon General Barnes says the presi-
dents death will occur before midnight.
WASHINGTON, July 4.-Hundreds of
persons from the north, south, east and
west, have come to Washington since
Saturday, in order that they may hear
the first news. Every train brings
news. The arrivals of crowds continu-

grounds, and many of the best citizens
of the land are in groups at the white
house gates, standing by the hour wait
ing for the latest news of the presidents
condition.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, July i.-7:45 p.
Unofficial. The president, this eve
ming, is not so comfortable. He does
not suffer so much from pain in the
feet. The tympanites is again more
noticeable. Pulse, l26; temperature,
1919; respiration, "a.
Another bulletin will be issued at 10
p. H., after which, in order not to dis
turb the president unnecessarily, no
further bulletins will be issued till to-
morrow morning.

WASHINGTON, uly 1920 p. M
The presidents condition, tonight, was
admitted by his attending physicians to
be more unfavorable than dur ng the
day, but change was not regarded rs
especially alarming, for the reason OF
an increased pulse and temperature,
which are its most marked features,
were observed about the same time
Saturday evening and last evening. and
were anticipated tonight. The day
has been extremely warm and close,
and the president has been more or less
restless from that cause, from the pain
due to lacerstion Of the nerves leading
to the feet. Attending physicians are
reluctant to express a positive opinion
on the facts stated in to nights bulletins,
but they are hopeful; the temperature
will fall and the pulse grow less rapid
during the night, as was the case last
night; and the condition of the patient
tomorrow morning will be not worse
than it was this morning. Should
these anticipations be realized, the at
tending physicians say they will have
very strong hopes of the presidents g
final recovery. Since the date of the
last official bulletin at 7:45 p. M, his
temperature and pulse have slightly
decreased, which is taken as a
better Indication. The views
above expressed are not with.
out foundation. At the present time
all that can be said is that the situation
of the president is critical but there
are indications of the abatement of un
favorable symptoms.
