GRAVE ANXIETY.
ELBERoN, Sept. Is. 1:10 p. m.-The
Presidents condition at this hour is much
changed. Attorney General MacVeagh
considers the case as warranting extreme
anxiety, but maintains while there is no
particular point which can be said to have
developed to an alarming extent the gen
eral condition which includes the extreme
debility of the patient is necessarily one OF
grave apprehensions.
