Unhealthy Discharge from
tho Wound.

| A change for the worse in the cond
ton of the President is again announce
He is extremeley dsbilitated, and, q
though he took more nourishment We
terday, there was a slight aggravatio
OF all the untavorable symptons in h
case. AT the morning examination h
temperature was 1856, pulse lO4, RESP
ration u. AT noon, temperature 49,
pulse ll6, respiration 81. At the evel
ing dressing, temperature 9S.6, pul.
io4, respiration ~. He was not r,
moved yesterday to his chair, but rt
manned in bed all day. The discharp
from the wound was slighter and les
| healthy looking, and he continued {
Intervals to cough up considerabl
quantities OF purulent mucus. The u;
tents mind is affected by his bodil
weakness, and he is again subject to 0,
caslonal hallucinations. Attorney Gel
eral Mac Veagh, in reporting the pa
tents condition to Minister Lowell
last nighv, SAID it was mot reassuring,
and that there Was "a sensible increas
of anxiety" The latest unofficial r.
ports say that the pulse reach 1870 beat
per minute for short time before md
night. To-day's bulletins are avaite,
with anxiety.
GENERAL REVIEW.
LONG BRANCH, N. D., Sept. 16.-To
Gay mas been one of great anxiety here
lhe TWO bulletins issued at Inornins
and evening are not reassuring. Tn,
weather Is against the President. Al
day long there has been strong easter
ly wind blowing, and this mornin,
there was a heavy rain. The wine
confined up to midnight to blow a gale
and the reverbations of the surf cOulG
be heard at a long distance. The morn
ing bulletin states thaC the discharge of
pus from the wound is not 50 large, but
the quality is not quite as healthy in
appearance as formerly. At noon his
condition was not as favorable as al
the morning dressing, and grave cri.
sis was feared to be approaching. at
the evening dressing his temperature
was $50; pulse lOi. and respiration, %.
AT noon the pulse was ll6 and respira
ton u. In the evening the wound was
unchanged; that is the discharge of un-
healthy pus still continued. The cough
was not so frequent, but the purulency
OF the eXpectOfation remained as it was
during the morning. He had during
the day taken an increased quantity OF
without discomfort. 1t
will be seen that the condition of the
President has not improved.
Attorney-General MacNeagh said to.
night that the situation was one o..
grave anxiety. He said that he had
very little to add to the bulletin he
sent to Minister Lowell last night. The
lung and the poisoned condi-
tion Of the blood, com Dined with the
debility OF the President, make most
serious case. While there has been no
great change in pulse or respiration still
the slightest alteration is viewed with
alarm. The evening bulletin shows au
increase Of respiration. He considers,
as do others, tnat the main cause of
Anxiety as to the Presidents condition,
in view Of all the adverse circumstances
OF the case, is his great weakness. The
Attorney.ueneral thinks that h crisis OF
some character IS approaching.
WHAT DIR. BLISS SAYS.
In an interview tonight DR.. Bliss
SAID here had been very little, if any.
;hange in the PATIENTS condition. The
li.chlrge from the wound tonight was
no worse than it was this morning,
Dut it cannot be said to be better.
Being asked if any blood had been dis
,hargcd With the pus, he said a clot of
blood came away with the discharge
o-niglt, which way have colored it
ome. At six o'clock, while preparing
he evening bulletin, the tebrie rise
occurred, and still continues; to what
/ would amount he could not preiict.
he PATIENTS mind was troubled SOME
What, but If a question was answered
lin he would answer it. The Doctor
aid that, while lie WAS with the Presi-
ent to-day, he made use Of an express
ion which seemed to indicate that his
mind was wandering little, and that
)r. Hamilton also stated this evening
rat he had noticed "a similar remark
uring the time he wa- with the Presi-
eut. The Doctor SAID the patient
Of being weary at times by
aging he is weary and tired. He spoke
it once to day
DR.. Bliss IS not SO confident tonight, |
s he says he recognizes the gravity of |
he situation. The bed sores have reap
cared, and they are a source Of tron-
lie. They are attributed to the eX-
:eme debility Of the patient. Taking
II these things into consideration, no
'onder that those nearest to tie Presi-
ent are in anything but hopeful
lood. The only hope for thinking that
Z will pull through is that the presi-
ent may still have vitality enough
, overcome the great burden.
A despatch received here tonight
.ys that Secretaries Window, Hunt
nd Postmaster General James left the
ihite Mountains this morning. They I
q expected here tomorrow, as is also
9crrtary Blaine Their arrival is mott In
lrsuauce o' any change in the Presi-
,nt's condition, hor OF any notice from
ttorney-Genoral MacNeagh, but they
g simply carrying out promise
ade when they ef..
Tonight the Presidents condition is :
vt reassuring, the various complica- D
ms giving ground for much uueasi-
ss. There has been no gain whatev- |
and tomorrow is looked forward to [
tn much anxiety. AT this hour, II
M, there is nothing new to be CLEAN. G
The condition tonight, DR., Bliss
ID, is more hazardous than at any :
ne since the patient has been at Long
anch. He is nc worse than before 4
was moved. The arrangement for .
wing the patient was that it should
done when the patient showed II
MS of repaic or of failing, and b
was moved under the latter circum-
nee. The doctor remarked that no g
'ther assesses were apprehended, II
4 said the cough had been less an =.
yisg to-day. The President looks ., a.
ward to going to Mentor, and has
ked some about it. NJ
