Official bulletin: The President slept from
half an hour to an hour at a time through
out the night. He continues to retain the
liquid food administered by the mouth
and the stimulating enema. Nevertheless
his pulse has been more frequent since
midnight, and he is evidently feebler this
morning than yesterday. Pulse 100, tenn
perature 9S.4, respiration %.
Secretary Blaine sent the following tele-
gram to Minister Lowell this morning
The President had a bad night, and his
symptoms at this hour 70 o'clock are of
the most alarming character"
1880 A. M.-Dr. Reyburn reports that
the Presidents strength up to this hour
has not perceptibly failed since the morn
ing examination. He continues to take
food about as well as heretofore, and the
frequency of his pulse has not increased.
He has just been sponged off and seems
more comfortable.
1880 A. M.-General Swain, in an inter-
view with o reporter just now, said the
Presidents pulse had varied a good deal
since the morning dressing. The least ex-
ertion or any slight movement OF the
body are enough to increase its frequency.
The swollen parotid gland continues to
discharge through the ear and through the
i~ncision made several days ago, and this
discharge seems to afford relief. The sur
geons still hope that the nourishme emit
which the patient takes will sustain his
strength and keep him on the present plane
OF vitality until the glandular abscess be-
comes less threatening, when there will be,
in General SWANS opinion, a hance at
least of recuperation. All the members Of
the Cabinet came to. the Executive Man
sion at 8 o'clock, and most of them are
still there. They were generally more ret
icent than yesterday with regard to their
views of the situation. Sec'y Window said
it was useless to disguise the fact that the
morning bulletin was very discouraging.
He was not ready, however, himself to say
the case was hopeless. He entertained
hopes that the President would live. Post
master-General James would only say that
while there's life there's hope. Attorney
General Mcvaigh declined to converse
upon the situation, but admitted it seemed
to him less hopeful this morning.
11:30 A. M.-The condition of the Presi-
dent has not changed much since the early
part of the morning, but it continues very
critical. All the members of the Cabinet
are still at the White House.
IL M.-Dr. Bliss reports at noon that
there has been no marked change in the
Presidents condition, but that he is grad
ually failing in strength. His pulse when
last taken was 116 to 118 and slightly bet
ter than in the. morning.
CHICAGO, Aug. 27-noon-The Times
correspondent in Washington has given up
sending bulletins, as he is assured by DIR.
Reyburn that the President is not likely
to die to-day.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, Aug. 27-12:30 P.
M.-Oficial bulletins: There has been no
improvement in the Presidents condition
since the last bulletin. He continues to
retain the liquid food administered by
mouth as well as enema. At the morning
dressing the parotid swelling appeared
about the same as yesterday. No material
change was observed in the wound. Since
this morning his temperature has risen
about a degree, and his pulse has huctu-
ated somewhat. At present his pulse is
100, temperature 99.6, respiration az.
11:30 A. M.-Attorney- General Mcvaigh
authorizes the statement that Vice-Presi-
dent Arthur has not been telegraphed for,
and no decision to send for him has yet
been arrived at.
III. bliss sdlu 70 y t6f VI tQ6 hHSO-
ciated Press at noon that his belief is that
the President cannot recover. He thinks,
however, death will not occur Immediately,
and that he may linger several days. AT.
ter resting through the night the Presi-
dent became worse about 4 o'clock this
morning. and has been growing feeble ever
since. At one time this morning his pulse
was up to las, though when the bulletin
was issued this morning at $3.50 it was but
100. Since then it has remained steady.
DR.. Reyburn said at 10 o'clock that there
was 10 material change since the issuing
of the bulletin, but that the President was
very feeble, and the hopes entertained yes
terday of relief through the suppuration Of
the infiamed gland were less bright to-day. |
The fact is the President has been dying
since 4 o'clock this morning.
DR.. Power. pastor Of the Christian
Church, has been at the White House all
the morning, and will not leave until the
end.
The members Of the Cabinet are ali at
the White House in consultation in the
Cabinet room. The subject Of the confer
ence is the advisabhity Of sending for Vice
Arthur at once. It was UNDER
stood last night that they had agreed that
this should not be done until an opinion
Of the physicians that death was at hand
had been given. Now they discuss whether
the time has not arrived already.
Great excitement prevails on the streets,
and reports Of the Presidents death are
circulated hourly. To add to the excite
alarming rumors are in circulation
regarding organized bodies Of men Ii the
cities, who are banded together
to come here to lynch Guiteau. 1t Is said

them. and only await q favorable opportu-
nifty themselves to murder G~uiteau. Gen.
