about the same as at the time the
evening dressing was made. If the
President should die before tO-mor.
row morning | should hold to the
opinion that his removal was the
proper thing to do. He was dying
inch by inch in Washington and ]
still hope that here he will gain suf-
fcient strength to recover. [ think
a favorable change in the patient
is probable by morning. If there is
we shall of course be more hopeful
while on the other hand we shall
feel anxious if there is not. The
wound and gland are all right
The trouble is the Presidents syS-
tenn is so much run down that the
question arises, has he sufficient re-
Cooperative power left to react from
the fatigue?
Col. Rockwell said at $50 pm,
that DR.. Reyburn Informed Mrs.
Garfield a short time before that
hour that the Presidents pulse had
decreased.
Private Secretary Brown had a
short conversation with Dr.. HamIl-
ton about 10 tonight. The latter
said he thought the pulse was not
quite so rapid as earlier in the even
ing, and he had no doubtthe patient
would continue in his present con-
dition a day or two before he COM
menced to rally.
There is apparent uneasiness
about the Presidents condition to-
night among the cabinet officers and
others intimately acquainted with
the facts in the case, and this is be-
ing telegraphed off as indicative of
serious results. A gentleman in
conversation with a friend tonight
intimated that Dr.Agnew had given
him little or no encouragement re-
garding the Presidents prospects of
recovery, but this is believed to be
exaggerated or misconstrued. There
is certainly no grounds for denying
that the President is decidedly low,
and unless a change occurs by morn
ing there will be grave apprehen-
sions, but it is almost confidently eX-
pected that the morning dressing
will show Improvement. The latest
information from the sick room
tonight was given by Private
Secretary Brown, who stated
that Doctor Reyburn reported
at 1890 that the pulse had fallen to
about rs. The temperature was
not much above normal. Franklyn
Cottage, at 1870, has been closed for
the night, and it will be impossible
to obtain anything further from the
President until morning, unless
there is change, in which event
Secretary Brown will be informed,
and through him the press.
The cabinet arrived to-day and
will remain for the present. I'm
case the President should rally"
Lincoln says, "we may
return, but the prospect is not very
favorable" There are reasonably
fair facilities for handling news
paper reports by tomorrow, but de-
lay must be caused by the long dis
lance from the Presidents quarters
to the telegraph Office.
= MIRAGE.
\ remarkable mirage, Just as the
President arrived, showed sixty fine
vessels going up and down the New
Jersey coast. -
NOTABLE INCIDENTS.
From various correspondents are
collected the following scenes in the
memorable events of yesterday:
Mrs. Edison being interviewed,
said: When we were Just this side,
of Perryville. Mr.. Ely came in and
told the surgeons they had gone the
last seven miles in five inmates.
Some one then asked the President
If he thought they were going too
fast, and he answered, ooh, mol Let
her CO." There was some jar which
The President noticed before the end
Of the journey, because when he got
mere he said, My back feels as
though it had had a pounding"
This was the only expression of
he made. He has looked
around him quite a good deal, but is
900 tired to give much expression,
either by words or looks of what he
thinks. He seems to delight in
ooking out of the window toward
me sea. We viii have to let him
nave the sea breeze gradually, but
le likes it. When he happened to
get a little smell a few minutes ago
ne said, ooh, that's good"
The manager of the Elberson
Hotel said he showed a lively inter
.st in the trip. Frequently he asked
for some information about the 10
cality the train was passing through
Or the rate of speed at which the
train was running.
One of the principal things that
encouraged the physicians was the
confidence that the President dis
played in the success of the trip. He
seemed to feel certain that the re-
moval would take place without
any accident. He appeared to be
less anxious about its results than
those around him.
Vice-President Arthur still re-
mains in this city. His friends say
he has received an intimation that
ais presence will be required IN
Washington. The fact that most OF
he members of the cabinet accom-
panied the President to Long
