GREATEST DANGER.
The greatest danger now is hat
the President cannot be given suf-
ficient strength to carry him along,
SO the more fatal conditions of
blood poisoning may be Warded off.
He is so weak and his blood so.im-
poYerished that it seems almost inn
possible to successfully overcome
the dangerous complications which
have followed each other fast and
faster. Last night the eurr0wing
abscess broke inside and puS was
discharged through the ear. All
efforts to control the absceSs seemed
to avail nothing. The break inside
was admitted to be most dangerous
sign One of the physicians said
before it occurred that ii such IA
contingency should arise, he did not
think the President could survive.
Again last night the President be-
came anxious and worried on the
subject of being removed. Mrs Ed
son was with him. The President
said: "Where is Bliss? % "In the
next room" was the reply. After an
impatient movement the President
said -"Go and tell him to come here.
Tell him [ want to be removed to
my own bed, l won't stay here any
longer" After considerable trouble
Mrs. Edison Quilted him and he went
to Sleep for few minutes. 1t will
be remembered that when Dr.
Hamilton cut the gland the other
day, he did it in order to let out the
accumulated matter, fearing II
might seek an outlet elsewhere, and
possibly go through the ear. The
swelling of the gland has not gone
down perceptibly. e-
CABINET OFFICERS, OPINIO S.
MacVeagh and James have been
most widely divergent in their view
for the past three weeks. James
has kent up hope and the attorney
general has been respondent. To-
day these two gentlemen, came
nearer being in coincidence with
each other than heretofore. They
are III fact not very far apart IN
their opinions.
The Encouragement after being
told by the physicians about the
bursting gland, and being made ac-
quainted with other features of the
case. summarizes in saying the stu
alton is very critical. Postmaster
General James, after talking with
the surgeons, puts the diagnosisoof
his opinion in the words, Improve
ment not impossible" .5co
THREAD OF HOPE
The ground upon which the ray of
hope which at II o'clobk has shed
its light around the White House,
has for the corner stone of-jtS foun-
datien, the free and natural suppu-
ration from [ the infameda gland.
The relief consequent upon the cut
flow of matter which had aecumu-
lated is not only perceptible but
very marked. There hangs the
thread of hope. The gathering at
the White House for the noon bull
letin was unusually large. Talk
ing in the private secretary's
room went on in undertenes. The
crowd got impatient. AS usual
there were those on hand to say the
delay was the sign of a bad bHlle-
tin. There was rapid break for
down stairs with the bulle tins, as
they were distributed. Sergeant
Dinsmore had to stand at the stairs
and check the stampede of. bulletiA
holders, to prevent too much noise
being made in the hurry to get out
of the house with the bulletin. The
bulletin was as depressing as antici-
pated. The pulse had gone up ten.
beats since morning. The temporal
ture had gene up nearly atenth, and
there was no Improvement in the
respiration. Bliss maintained there
was no pyamia, that the pus was
healthy and not offensive, that there
were no signs of other infiamma-
ton of glands, that even with the
worst aggravation Of the present
symptoms, he didn't expect death.
He couldn't die inside Of three days
at least.
$ The scene to-day was like the
day after the President was shot.
There was a general feeling of de-
spair. Boynton thinks him a little
weaker tonight if anything.
DR.. Hamilton said at pm, there
is shade Of Improvement
CRITICISMS.
A warm friend of the President,
who has remained at the White
House during the period of his i'll
ness, spoke in the most bitter terms
of the Inter-Ocean'S correspondent,
and of the bulletins Of the secre-
tary of state. The gentleman averred
that Blaine's sources for obtaining
accurate information were. more
limited than that of any other men,
