Not 40 Well To-Day.
Very little, if any, encouragement can be
drawn from the monday bulletin. On the
contrary, IL virtually corroborates what has
already been intimated-that the Prcsi-
don't is not so well to-day. The street re-
ports are to the effect that the President is
much worse than yesterday This is denied
at the White House, but not in q very re-
assuring manner. At the same time yes
terday the Presidents pulse was 10l his
temperature 092o, and his respiration II.
His pulse to-day is eight beats faster, and
his respiration two beats faster. The tenn
pcrature is the same. AS nothing is said OF
the wound, 1t Is not thought to be trouble
some.
All the Blame IL Laid
ON the parotid swelling, which, contrary to
expectations, has not diminished at all. A
small discharge of pus from the gland Is
noted. Altogether, the view taken of the
case to-day is
GIOOmier than mt amy Time
since the slight improvement from the re-
lapse of Sunday began. All sorts of rumors
of the Presidents approaching end are afloat,
and the public are filled with forebodings of
the worst character.
Rather Discouraging.
The MONDAY bulletin was as follows:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, Aug. 25, 1890 p.
m.--Since the issue of this mornings bull
letin u rise in the Presidents temperature
similar to that which occurred yesterday
morning has been observed. His pulse Is
somewhat moro frequent. From the in
cision in the parotid swelling few drops of
pus were discharged this morning the seize
of the swelling has not dimisbed. In other
respects his condition has not perceptibly
changed. Pulse, 112; temperature, 1920 7;
respiration, 10.

BOynton Thinks the President
CITY 1--WE. Worse. fr
DR.. Boynton left the White House about
noon for short walk. He said that while
there was no particular change in the Prcsi-
dents condition, he was somewhat iiscour-
aged from the fact that his general appear
ancc was not so good as it had been. In
plain words DIR. Boynton thinks the Presi-
dent is worse.
at The Crisis stilI Continues. .
The following was sent by the agent OF
the National Associated Press:
There have been very few callers at the
White House to-day. There seems to be q
settled feeling that there is no use. trying
to hasten conclusions. The crisis still con-
tinues, aud it must be confessed that the
inmates of the White House are less en-.
cOuraged than yesterday. Dr. Boynton just
before noon stated, in reply to ques.
ton, that he did not consider
the President any better to-day than yes
tcrlay. He was asked whether he thought
he had held his OWL DR.. Boynton replied
that he could point to no symptom that
showed him to BIO worse, but it seemed to

Hardly SO Well.
He considered the important features Of
the case to be his extreme weakness ant
the low condition of his blood. He die

like to say what might come. The

The recurrence Of the febrile rise so early il
the day was very unsatisfactory. The ply

is not much worse, if at all, but the outside
