This statement OF the Doctor 10 sur

ditions. There appears to have been
some error In the low records OF the
pulse from Thursday and Friday. His

his pulse was In the neighborhood OF
ITO. DR.. Bliss has always taken the
pulse for the bulletins. and hs and Dr..
Hsmilton have since differed 10 their
estimates. On Saturday morning Mrs.
Garfield requested DR.. Hamilton to take
the pulse and hs found 1t some fifteen
beats above the official Bulletins. The
last two days the public will notice that
the official bulletins show higher figures.
sraIEs OF COMPLICATIONS.

this afternoon Of one Of the doctors. els

answer was that there was q fear OF
another complication and this fear made
the present as anxious Q time as has
been known in the case. The parotid

II an sbscess forms there. then the
inevitable conclusion follows that the

most violent Of blood poisoning. All
the surgeons in attendance have at dit.

ton Of another pus abscess. This

LONG BRANCH, September l1-lo:3o
p. N.-The President had an increase oil
fever last night and Was very restless
until 8 A. N. During the day he has
been somewhat better. but his pulse.
temperature and respiration have been
higher for the entire twenty.four hours
than on any preceding day since he

toms are not reassuring. and his general
condition gives rise to anxiety.
