HOPE BURIED ONLY IN THE GRAVE. q
AS to the presidents condition DR.. Bliss
Says, 1t is very bad. He has chance. If he
should die, the doctor does not expect he will
die within day or two: Unless embitism
should set in he might live week. His vi
|tality and reserve powers are enormous. They
|are perfectly wonderful. DR.. Agnew and
himself both remarked that Notwithstanding
the bad history of the case, yet when one en-
tered the room and saw the firm, reliant eX-
preston upon the presidents face, and his
manner ofspeaking, it was enough, the doctor
said, to take one almost off his feet DR.. Bliss
concluded by saying, "hope is buried only in
THE grave.' -

Extreme Veakness

LONG BRANCH, Sept. I9 DIR. Boynton this
forenoon said the president passed the most
quiet night he has experienced since he was
shot. The reason for it can readily be ac-
counted for by the extreme weakness of the
patient. He is fearfully weak and debilitated,
but the doctor explained this occurred on ac-
count of the rigor. 1t appears that the chill
!came on while the morning dressing was in
progress. and the dressing had to be stopped.
The patient complained of feeling
cold and almost Immediately was attacked
with severe shaking. During the time the
chill prevailed DR.. Bliss says vomiting and
Severe retching occurred. The rigor was of
twenty minutes duration. After IT passed off
|the patient become comparatively comfortable
land partook of nourshment, and his pulse
fell about three beats, to 40. While the chill
Twas on his pulse was 143 and very feeble.
DECIDEDLY CRITICAL.
DR.. Bliss briefly summed up the situation as
decidedly critical. He said there was no doubt
but the rigors we're the result of extended
in the right lung aided, of
course, by the exhausted condition of the
president, which has been caused by blood
poisoning.
DR.. Boynton expects the patient to rally
from the effects of the mornings rigor, but
,dmits there is cause for the gravest appre-
lhension. He says the chills may continue for
some time without serious results 1t is
NOW agreed by all the surgeons that the rigors
|are the result of lung trouble and the pyamic
Icondition of the blood.
DR.. Agnew pronounces the case decidedly
alarming.
Daily globe., 1881-09-20
Severe RiQor.

ELBERoN, Sept. 10, $50 a. m.-The rigor
|of this morning lasted twenty minutes and
was severe. The president is reported as
having slept some since it subsided, but he is
now awake and has taken small quantity OF
nourishment. The frequency of the chills oc-
casions great anxiety. DR.. Bliss is of opin-
ION that If the rigors continue for forty.eigh,
hours the president cannot live, and it is quite
possible he will die in one of the chills. Dr.
8oynton says that during the prevalence OF
he rigor the presidents pulse went up to
43 beats, and was very feeble. At this hour
It has decreased to about 40 beats. The pa
lent is extremely weak and there is cause for
great alarm.

The Feeling in Washington.

WAsHIEGToN, Sept 19.-The excitement
over the presidents condition is greater to-
hight than at any time since he was taken to
Hong Branch. The streets are thronged, the
population apparently being out, anxiously
Seeking for the latest news. There is no longer
/ any feeling of hope, though some are inclined
= to cling to the probability that remains as
= long as life lasts. Crowds linger around the
bulletins and discuss the case, and express
sions show that the public is prepared to hear
Of his death at any time. It is believed here
that should he die his remains will be brought
here and laid in state at the capitol. Natural.
/ ~ there are speculations as to the
POLITICAL EFFECTS AND CHANGES,
especially as to the senate organization
Among the Democrats the belief prevails thai
the Democratic. senator's will, in the event oi
pro tenn. and Immediately proceed TO effect an
the two senator's elected from New
York, and the senator who will
i be appointed to succeed General
Burnside. Should the Democrats take this
course they would be able TO maintain the or
ganization, provided Senator Davis, of Illinois,
voted with them. Senator Davis vote would
give the Democrats thirty eight to thirty.eight
kepublcans, including Senator Malone, who
will no doubt vote with the Republicans.
There is rumor of the Democrats proposing
to make Davis, of Illinois, president of the
senate, but it cannot be traced
to any authentic source. One, a Democratic
senator, who was in Washington yesterday,
said he was opposed to playing any grab game
to get the senate organization; that he would
rather give it to the Republicans than take any
undue advantage to get it. He talked as
though he will refuse to go into any move
ment for organization of the senate until after
all senators entitled to seats shall have been
Iadmitted,

Threats of Lynching Guitea1.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 19.-The talk OF
IIynching Guiteau has been revived here, and
las the news from the president grows worse,
the threats are louder. In the crowds around
the bulletins it is not uncommon to hear men
say that if the news that the president is dead
should prove true, they were in favor of taking
Guiteau from Jail and hanging him immediate
ly. This sentiment finds supporters, but there
docs not seem yet to be any organized prepara-
Itions towards putting this threat into execu1
ition. The authorities realize that there may be
danger and have quietly taken meas.
lures to prevent any successful
attempt to drag Guiteau from
Jail. Military forces are kept ready for imme-
diate use, and the militia of the district are
;ready to respond to a call if they are needed.
1T would be difficult job for mob to reach
the interior of the Jail, even if there
lwere no armed resistance. 1t a solid building
land well guarded. There is belief, however,
that if the news of the presidents death comes
here at night, while most of the population
IL On the streets, that it would not require
much to rally a crowd for an attempt to at
tack the Jail to get Guiteau.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.]
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-Some apprenen
sions were felt that after the news of the pres
ident's death reached here, some disturbance
might be created at the Jail. A visit there re-
vealed the fact that nothing unusual had hap
pened. There were twenty three soldiers and
a number of policemen on guard.
