change for the better, If it can be 30
called, was very slight.
Secretary Blaine sent the following TO-
night, at 10 O'Clock:
Lo,uel, Minister, London:
While the President has made no gain
TO day, his loss OF ground is less, in the
Judgment of his physicians than we
feared last night.
Up to 10 o'clock tonight there have
been
Three Changes
in the Presidents condition to be noted.
Early this morning everything was bad ;
il could not have been worse,
with the immediate signs OF death.
Later in the afternoon there was rally.
that was the first change. The rally
was, however, very feeble, and did not
continue long enough to even fully send
up to a high mark to buoyant feeling

adverse circumstances. At the White
House, after the short rally during the
early forenoon, came the midday bulle-
tin. It was bad-it was very bad. 1t

of the patient. His face showed that he
was worse than at the same hour yester-
dav, and it was 80 admitted by the doc
tors. The change for the worse became
more apparent as the evening, wore on.
At shortly before three o'clock the
sleepiness increased, and the President
appeared in comatose condition. That

Blood Poisoning.
which he undoubtedly has, his pulse
ran up to 1873, with a correspond
ing increase OF temperature.
Then followed the administration
of stimulauts to undo the sleepiness.
Whiskey to the amount OF 5 drahms at
intervals, and the yolk OF egg with pep
tonized milk was administered by ene-
mata. That was the second change.
The administration OF stimulants
had its effects upon the pulse.
1t went down, but the sleepiness contin-
ued, and despite the stimulants he was
unconscious in slumber for an unusu.

with the subsiding OF the pulse, the
doctors announced more favor

az DR.. Hamilton expresses it, showed a
shade of improvement that marked the
third change up to ten o'clock tonight.
The greatest danger now is thst the
President cannot be given a sufficient
strength to carry him along, 80

the dangerous complication which
have followed each other so rap

ear. The breaking OF the ab-
scess seemed to avail nothing.
The break in the side was admitted to
be most dangerous. One OF the physl.
clans said before it occurred that if such
contingency should arise he
did not think the President could
survive. Again last night the
President became anxious and worried
on the subject Of being removed. Miss
Edison was with him. The President
said: "Where is Bliss2" "In the next
room," was the reply. After an imps.
tient movement the President
said: ,Go tell him to come
here. Tell him l want to be
removed to my own bed. l want to be
removed and put in my bed. l wont
stay here any longer" After considera'
bic trouble, Miss Edison quieted him
and he went to sleep for few minutes.
