UNOFFICIAL BULLETIN.
ESEcrrIvr MANSION, 2.3Op. m.-The
last bulletin has east Il gloom over the
attaches Of the executive Mansion, aad
the greatest Anxiety prevails. The
change which has occurred is even no
ticeable in the expression and CONVEX
sation Of Private Secretary Brown, who
has, from the first, entertained the
most sanguinc opinion that the Presi-
dent would recover. The extreme quiet
which prcyadcs the Mansion, even in
the offices occupied by the clerical
force, i, almost oppressive. CONVERSE
tons are carried on in monotoncS ana
Il general feeling of anXicty and actual
alarm is plainly pcrccptiblc. The most
>anguine are apparently fast losing
hope, and callers may be seen leaving
the Mansion with Il look of despair up
on their cOuntcnanccs. Rev. +. u.
Power, the pastor of President Gar
fields Church, was observed during
thc afternoon pcrUsihg n volume con-
tanning Nh account of the Presidents
life. In conversation upon the out
look, the pastor expressed himself as
feeling as though the present crisis was
the commencement OF the end. Mrs.
Garfield is said to be us cheerful rs cir
cumstanccs will allow, and she also en-
t~crtains strong belief that her husband
will recover. DR.. Agnew is quoted as
said this afternoon that the pa
ticnt was no weaker than he was yes
and that there vas no reasDua-
Die chances fer his rallying. This state
mCnt, however, was not obtained in a
direct manner Whatever may be said,
there is no denying that the case is cX-
tremcIy critical ut the present moment,
and unless Il favorable change occurs
a shorttimc it may prove fatal.

morning is more favorable. The vom
Ting has ceased and he is able to take
