 | FAVORABLE SYMPTOMS DURING THE EVENING The evening bulletin was anxiously await l ed by representatives of the press, and th officer who pasted copy on a tree by tn White House found quite crowd to hea | the news. The favorable character of thi ! official announcement raised the hope of tn l desponding ones and the crowd soon scat | tered The signature of Dr. Agnew to tn bulletin was also reassuring.

I have sent word to my friends that it is all right" Secretary Lincoln said Dr. Woodward had just told him that the President was better tonight than he had been for one or two days before Saturday last. ''That would make it about Thursday last" continued the Secretary. ssI think from what can learn that the physi- clans feel as if the danger had been passed.

NEW YORK, July 26.-A report was circu l ated in this city tonight that the condition | the President had become so very critical | hat Vice President Arthur had been sum- | loned to Washington. An agent of the Ma | ional Associated Press called upon the Vice | resident at his residence and General Arthur | aid the report was false, that he had re- | eived no such summons, nor any news of a | ature warranting such 8 report. Gen. | ral Arthur has all along believed the | resident would pull through, and still be- | eyes he will recover. He is in constant | elegraphic communication with Secretary 1dAAO duu Obu6E m0mD0IS or the C6D1Q0E as | ell as the Presidents private secretary and | ther members of MT. Garfeld's household i nd IS kept minutely informed of every fea- | Ire of the Presidents condition. The Vice | resident refuses to be interviewed concern lg the case The general opinion of his | lost intimate friend, however, is that al- | 1ough the Presidents condition is critical. is recovery is probable. That General Ar | lur shares this opinion is proven by the | lct that tonight when one of his friends let him and asked with great anxiety if it as true that he was going to Washington, le Vice President responded, ssWhy should go to Washington? The President is eo- g to get we'll" As General Arthur is prob ply better informed about the Presidents | ,tual condition than any other person out de of Washington, the above answer may 3 taken to be good indication of the Presi- snt's prospects.
 DIsTRUsT OF THE BULLETINs There is prevalent in this city a suspicion Iat the condition of the President is really orse than the official bulletins show and | at the attending physicians fear to give e public the real truth. That this sus- cion is not altogether well grounded is aimed by the fact that the same telegrams @ sent to Vice President Arthur as those ven to the public. The Presidents pri- lte secretary at 8:30 a. m. sent Arthur the flowing:
 WASHINGTON, July 26. | Vice President Arthur, New York
 The President somewhat restless during the | ght and the fever which had subsided after our ! t bulletin rose about midnight and continued til a. m-, after which it again subsided. He is W about as well as yesterday at the hour. 1 Use 1o2, temperature 9s.4 respiration Is.

BLAINE. here can be no doubt that the news sent tEe Vice President concerning the 'esident's condition is wholly accurate d the above telegrams show that the pub have to-day at least been getting exactly 6 same information.
