ING the condition OF the President was such
as 10 create the greatest alarm and d~istrust,
not only among those a|nXiOusly waiting
and watching, but among the physicians as
well. All Of the complications which have
beset the case were aggravated, the lung
trouble had increased, the wound was be-
baying badly, and there were unmi@takable
evidences that the President vas not Ouly
losing his courage but his mind Is well. I,
when The night closed DR.. Bliss admitted
hat the unfavorable symptoms were due TO
an increase Of blcod.poisOning. Three
DAYS ago be said he thought the blood
poisoning was being eliminated, but the
record OF the day was one which convinced
him 1t was on the increase.
HAZARDOUS IN THE EXTREME
"You NAV saw" DR.. Bliss said 10 the
Star representative, ''tbat the condition OF
the President is now hazardous in the eX-
treme.D The President frequently COM
plains OF being tired aud worn out. AT
times he IS Eighty. His mind wandeIs, and
more than once he expressed dissatisfaction
with his quarters b ere, and asked when be
is going TO be removed 10 Mentor. Up to
midnight last night the PATIENTS general
condition did not improve. At IL O'Clock
his pulse was up 10 $50, and his tempera'
ture over 100. Toward 2 O'Clock there was
bur slight decrease in these figures.
ATURNING POINT
About 3 o'clock this morning he fell
asleep and slept until 6. When he woke
his pulse had receded to LOG, and his tenn
perature gone down to 90. When the sur
9eons land an OF them were in attendance)
met 10 make the morniog examination OF
the wound the general symptoms OF the
patient showed some improvement. First,
he wound looked better, and H. discharge
was of a more healthy character. Tne
pulse, though frequent, was a better pulse
thon Yesterday, because it was what doctors
term stronger and less wiry.
THE PRESIDENT SAYS he FEELS BETTER.
81 feel BETTER" said the President. The
day opened at Elberon with fear stu up
nermost. While there was o change for the
better. IL was so slight that 1t was not cab
culated 10 restore confidence. DR.. BoyntOh
said. al cannot see that the President IL
apy betterp; while DIR. Hamilton old At
eneral MacYeagh that "the Presi-
dent is still a dangerouslY-sick man" Dr.
Agnew said be would form no opinion IN
til later in the day.
CERTAINLY NO WORSE.
Attorney General MaeVeagb, who has
seen all the doctors, tells me al think
some OF his symptoms are milder. do
think any are aggravated. DO not
think he, Is better, but he is certainly no
worse. A singular thing about bulletns
ZOO a. that we are frightened a. Just such
,binos az we knew existed all along"
