AGAIN ENCOURAGED.
2:O5 P. M.-The last official bulletin is
sued regarding the Presidents condition is
considered by the medical profession to be
quite encouraging and significant OF favor
able results. The President has been kept
very quiet during the day. Not even his
| sons are admitted to his
room. 1t is considered by
many that the present is the most critical
| period, and every precaution is being taken
] to prevent noise or excitement Of any char
acter In or about the Mansion. DR.. Bliss re-
marked to Cabinet officer shortly after the
one O'clock bulletin was issued that there

tinue to express a hopeful opinion of the
! Presidents case. Peritonitis has not super
vened as yet, and there are no more indica-

! The condition of the patient, therefore,
| although critical, is no worse than was to
| be expected.
HOPING YET FEARING.
| 2:45 M.-The Secretary of State has
! Just sent the following telegram:
To Hon Amos Townsend, Cleveland, O.:
The Presidents condition has not mate
rally changed since morning. At this hour,
half-past two, he is suffering less pain. He
is entirely calm and courageous. His mind
is clear, and he accepts whatever fate God
may ordain for him with perfect resigna-
! tion and with a sublime Christian faith. We
are profoundly anxious, and yet hopeful as
to the final result. JAS. G. BLAINE.

GRAVE APPREHENsIoNs.
4:30 P. M DIR. Woodward, in converse
ton with Secretary Hunt, about fifteen
minutes ago, said there was no perceptible
change In the Presidents condition, and
that his symptoms were very favorable.
$50 P. M.-There is a strong feeling out
side of the White House that the Presidents
condition is more critical at this time than
It has yet been. This impression rests, un-
doubtedly, on remarks privately made by
those who are conversant with the case, and
whose avenues of information are of the best
possible character. No official bulletin will
probably be Issued at present, and
it is held that the physicians In attendance
are deferring a bulletin, 10 hopes that a
change for the better will occur shortly.
| The anxiety, which has certainly been very
intense all the afternoon, has certainly
deepened great deal in the last hour, and
in-the city, at least, the gravest apprehen-
sions are entertained of fatal issue.
MORE TYMPANITIs.
7:45 M.-The President this evening is
not so comfortable. He does not suffer so
much from pain in his feet. The tympanitis
is sgain more noticeable. Pulse 126, temper.

tin will be issued at 10p. M, after which,
In order not to disturb the President un-
necessarily, no further bulletin will be is
sued until to morrow morning.
