The President's Condition to This
sstNs A'f-' N Hour.

Up to 1 p. m. the President had passed
about as favorable day as yesterday. The
only difference has been the increased pulse.
Since the noon bulletin was issued the pulse
has been no, and it seems that 1t has fiuc-
tpatedin that region during the forenoon.
The Temperature has remained Q degree
above normal since morning. The physi.
clans say there is no alarm occasioned by
the high pulse and temperature,
The President seems to be doing us well
as could be expected, but has not gained
since yesterday. The high pulse is no doubt
due in a measure to the Presidents deep
anxiety regarding his removal. He is ex.
ceedingly anxious to be removed, and his
constant thinking about 1t causes some irri'
tation. Tho White House people say that
the time of departure has not yet been fixed
The surgeons are examining the car this af
ternoon. All will be in readiness to start to
morrow morning, but the condition of tho
President will have all to do with the time
of leaving. He has had no vomiting to-
day. Elr'r v.Js1Oa CHS '-lel

Everything indicates that the President
will soon be moved. Gen. Swain has just
left the White House for the depot with his
carpet-bag in hand. DIR. Woodward has also
sent the Instruments used by him in analyz-
ing the pus discharges from the President to
the depot. 1t looks MS if this would be the
Presidents last day here, and it is even
limited that the President may be moved to-
night. The high pulse to-day is said to be
caused by the Presidents worry over the
expected removal and by the excessive heat.
1t is stated, however, that the President is
doing nicely. So Gen. Swain and Steward
Cr,lmp say. The cooling apparatus was
started this afternoon so as to reduce the
temperature Of the sick-room. The Presi.
dent complained of the heat. He has had
ample nourishment to-day. Squirrel soup
was the principal dish.

GEORGETOWN AFFAIRS.


The rain which fell last Friday evening
in and around Cumberland has done much
for canal navigation. The rise in the basin
was about three inches Friday night, with
a prospect that it would rise sufficiently
high to permit the canal boats to resume
business. Boats that were unable to leave
the port the day before Embossed their ropes
and started for Georgetown.
The boats on the lower division were
cleared Thursday by flushing from the

A Parents Complaint Of the District
Commissioners.

To the Editor Of The Erening Critic;T
Was ever such good for-nothing adj
ministration as now prevails in this Dis
trict e? Here we are, at the opening day of
the public schools, six months after the APP
preparation was made by Congress to buy
furniture for the new buildings and the
furniture not ready Congress did not deal
stingily in this matter, either. 1t gave
money enough to buy the best kind of
chair-furniture, and not the miserable
bench-firniture the Commissioners have
been contracting for. 1t Is said the only
two sets of furniture yet received are two
sets of chair-furniture conceded to Trustee
Brooks as personal favor. These were
promptly furnished and are now in place
ready for use, but the balance is wanting.
There is bad management somewhere.
1t does seem as If the District Govern
mcnt had fallen into the hands of helpless
imbecility. A PARENT.

THE PRESIDENT
Rise In Temperature, but IL IL Not
AlRrmtng.

Drs, Agnew, Bliss and Barnes and Col.
Rockwell left the White House little after
noon to-day to inspect the car to be used IN
conveying the President to Long Branch.
Dr. Bliss was asked how tho President
was getting along, and answered, ooh, very
nicely"
His attention was Called to the fact that
the bulletin showed the Presidents pulse
up to la. "Oh, that's nothing" said he,
"a difference of eight or ten beats one way
or the other, don't amount to much"
The rise to-day is no doubt due to the
Presidents excitement over his anticipated
removal. That subject has been on his
mind all day. When he awoke this morn
ing the first thing he said was doctor, this
will be my last day here won't it?" DR..
Bliss. who was with him at the time, told
him probably so.
Notwithstanding DIR. Bliss chcerfuness,
the bulletin is not considered good one in
view of all the circumstances, especially as
1t is desirable that the President should
have good day to-day in order to better
bear the fatigue of removal. 1ir
Everything at the White House bears the
sign of speedy change of headquarters,
and confirms the belief that the President
will be taken away tomorrow. Those who
are going are packing up and preparing
their affairs for change of base. A wagon
load Of packing boxes was received to-day
from the Quatrermaster-Gener Office for
the use of the travelling party.

displayed an unusual amount Of horse

the strange actions Of the mother Of a

them to follow her, when they discov-

The colt was removed from its uncom-
