*asas S~"s"]"'~" WV | I said to Dr. Agnew, There will be playing by the band to night and few moments later was summoned to the Presidents bed side by information that he had a chill. Wher got there the chill was almost over and tht ensuing fever was on Such disturbances are incident to the condition of the patient the low state of his system, the condition o1 the blood and the stoppages of the healing process" WILD CHANGES OF PULSE Previous to the chill, said Dr. Bliss, the President was cheerful. He has taken nour- ishment and stimulants, including two and one-half ounces of defbrinated beef. There | was no fever preceding the chill, which last ed about ten minutes and was not nearly as severe as that of yesterday. During it's con- | tinuance the President was cold and trem- | bling. His pulse went to 134, temperature l 100, respiration g. His pulse was two beats l lower than yesterday, temperature too and res piration not so frequent. The chill was less | severe in every way. His lungs remain about the same as heretofore, there being less ex- 1 pectoration and coughing. "How about the other symptoms ?" sThere has been no particular change in the other symptoms. The wound is about the same. The channel has diminished some in size, but not from healthy cause. For instance, when being cleansed it now holds but one ounce of water, whereas three weeks ago it held two and half. This is not the result of granulation, because repair has been going on, for the las last three days the granulation is not healthy; The diminution of the cavity of the channel IS caused mainly by the lessening of the elasticity of the wall. There has been no contraction during the last four or five days There is no retention of pus along the chan nel. no soreness, no swelling and the other evidences of pus are confined along the track. The ball is fully encysted and isolated from the open track, and there are indications of an absence of all irritation at the end of the track" ''Will there be more chills ?'' ''Yes, they are likely to recur so long as there is no repair. Until repair is resumed we may ex- pect disturbances about twice in every twen- ty-four hours. There are no evidences of repair" ''Is the President any worse than last night" '.No worse and no better"
 FEARFUL sTUGGLE WITH DEATH. Dr. Bliss maintained that there was no swelling of the gland, but the process of healing was stopped. There was no halluci nation during the febrile rise. 'eHe does not seem to get enough nourishment into his system to keep up the work of repair. He is suffering from hamilton. He has mild sweats after each rigor The prospects are both that he will have no more disturbance to night and that the fever will subside at mid l night and his pulse run from 1O6 to 109. He l looks upon the case himself grave and ! watches it closely. This has been 8 fearful fight My God you know nothing about it | outside. There is one thing to say about it, ! however. The experience and skill of a life time has been put into tbese past twelve | weeks. The President has chance. We | are going to fight till the end. Things are l rocky just now, but no patient of mine was | ever. yet buried till he was dead''
 CABINET OFFICIALS ON HAND. 1 a. m--Dr. Boynton refuses to express | any opinion upon the Presidents chances. | Secretaries Hunt Windom and Kirkwood | were summoned to Elberon by Mir. Mac Veagh to confer over the working of the | bulletins to MT. Lowell Al the facts of the | situation were laid before them in the con- ference and the cable sent was the result. | At this hour the members of the Cabinet are in bed. The lights in Francklyn cottage are out and communication with 1t is cut of un- til morning. At II o'clock the situation at Elberon was unchanged. The President was no worse than last night, but was weak and weary, low and much exhausted. Secretary arrived tonight. MT. Blaine and Mir. Lincoln will be here tomorrow. The ! members of the Cabinet here are despond- ent. The consulting surgeons are not without hope. They have told Dr. Boyn- ton that he ought not to make the statement that there is an abscess on the lungs. They say he has no right to make such state nent, that he has no knowledge that such is ] he case. They say they have no knowledge hat there is such an abscess, and the reason hey have not is because, notwithstanding all heir scrutiny and careful examinations of patient up to the present time, there has been found not one of the indications recognized oy surgical science of the presence of such an abscess. If there is one they say it is of such nature as to beunable to indicate it's exis ence by any of the recognized indications.
