M.-Unoficial Bulletin.-Much anxiety is
exhibited throughout the city regarding
the presidents condition aud numbers Of
inquiries have been made at tfe mansion
throughout the day. The feeling through
out the country was similarly manifested
by the large number Of press correspond
ents who called at the White House to
receive 1890 p. m. bulletin for their re-
spective papers which they represent.
Aside from this many requests for the
"latest news" have been received from
the several executive departments. The
temperature and respiration as stated in
last bulletin are generally conceded As ia
vcrab,e Indication. But the lulse which 4
given as 118 causes considerable uneasiness
in the public mind. Since the issuan-e Of the
bulletin it has been impossible to confer
with any of tho attending surgeons. At
torney General MaoVeash called a short
time ago and as he was leaving the White
House in reply to an interrogatory
he said he attributed the unusual
rise OF pulse to the weak condition Of the
patient caused by the nausea with which
he has been troubled. The Attorney.
General said further, the surgeons in
