and there is no necessity of taking any more
risk than is necessary"
"Wilt all the surgeons accompany the
President?"
"Yes. shall insist upon all O. them go
ing, lie would need the same attaltion there
as here, and it would not be fair br any one
to shirk responsibility ut this time. DR.

will not COME to Washington again.

SPEAKING OF THE PRESIDENTS CONDITION,
Dr.. Bliss said that there had ben little
sloughing off of the cellular lisle Of the
parotid gland, and that it still repafnea Ill
object Of consideration but the wGl.1 ITSELF
is healing, and is growing smaller d, the out
side. .'.
A PORTION OF THE cARDUS LIE
was cut away yesterday. Bliss ca ed it the
core Of the boil. There is bd1 on the
Presidents shoulder, aud he has oil pad of

MIDNIGHT.
The President has been resting his even
ing as comfortably as 4 imam can viii Il pulse
running at about ITO, Il tcmperltge nearly
100, an inactive wound more than :foot long
discharging scanty and unhealthy ils, and i
bnrrowing absccss in the neck diEharging
freely from seven openings-yiz. :the four
incisions in the neck and face, til! car, the
nose, and the mouth. Whut may tppen to-
morrow-wllat may happen any iOur-no
one can tell. It is mockery to say
that the President is in. Il god COLI
dition. lie is in all extremely critical
condition. So serious is the sltatiOn. i'll
fact, that those who are busy with te prepa-
ratious for his removal cannot CO ccal the
fear that their labors may perhaps F i'll vain
that between now and Tuesday melling, or
before lie can reach Long Branch, le worst
may happen. Still the faithful anndants
are laboring in the hope that the chage
MAY GIVE NEW LIFE
that the bracing sea nir may Overcome the
deadly yapors Of the Washington caipagna,
Ills system. Cheerful hands are bby now
Ut midnight in preparing for this remarkable
journey-which may be 4 trip to lifelr pill
grimage Of death. The one solemn. .t;tdte1l-
ing fact has been impressed upon us il more
terribly than ever today-that If th Presi-
dent remains here he will die. 1t is be con-
cI,lsion Of all that it should have ben made
long ago-as soon as 1t was apparenthat he
was not to die FROM the first shock othe as
sasin's bullet. The change is now to made
US
THE LAST DESPERATE ENTEEN,Y.
All that medicine can do, All that eRineer-
ing can suggest, all that mechanic2an de-
wise. all that money can buy, all that I've and
tenderness can bestow, will be nlad'use Of
to make each foo1stcp lighter, to mac eacll
movement of the wheel less palnfulas it is
rolling him oil, as we hope, to life; Nine
weeks ago today he started upon tit trip.
Nine weeks ago this afternoon hislleart-
broken wife returned to find him alllst dy-
ing upon the bed where lie has sine been
lying.
AT THE BEGINNING OF THE TENr1lNEEK
lie Is again to enter upon that same jQrney,
and upon that journey the prayers Of atation
will follow him. tthis hour the deadlplistis
rising from the riyer-frO1n the tlatlnalo-
dorous and malarial-and is pouring iupon
the White House grounds, and towals the
windows OF the sick-room, as if determined
to assist in G1liteau's crime. Twoiights
more Of this poison from the marsh, al bog,
and fen, and the President is to nye II
chance for life In selecting his medal at
tcndants to accompany him OIL the tp, the
President this afternoon named DrsBlss,
Hamilton and Asncw, and added: That
is enough, 1 guess.''
