Boynton, in answer to inquiries
shortly after the rigor became
known, said it was one of many
unlavOrabie symptoms, which must
be looked for at this stage of the
case, at the same time, repeating the
remarks made heretofore to the
effect that everything terrible fol-
lows the existence of chronic
py@mia. Great apprehension pre-
walls.
Bliss says the Presidents pulse is
now 102. His general condition is
unchanged. Secretary of state Hit
arrived last evening.
1t now transpires that there were
indications of a rigor yesterday.
Long Branch, 130 p.m.-After the
rigor passed off the President COM
menced prespiring freely. And
owing TO the prevalence of the rigor
the patient was deliri0us.
Elberon, 2.30 pm. Up to this
time no further rigOrS have occur
red. The Iast information from the
sick room was that the patient was
more comfortable, his pulse remains
at 120, temperature and respiration
still high, The occurrence OF the
rigor ut this time is conceded as evil
dence of acute paaemea and great
fears are entertained that other
chills will follow. The situation at
this hour may be BRIEFLY stated to be
race between exhaustion and VI
tality, The r. esident overcame the
rigors which occurred in July, and
it is Thought possible that he has
sufficient strength left to overcome
the present crisis. The opi2ion pre-
voiuS that the rigOr was occaslOned
by the collection of pus in the track
of the wound. but Dr.. BoyntOn'S
opinion is that it is the result Of the
a5scesS in the right lung.
| Long Rranch, 1.-THE President
has been sleeping constantly since

minuIes ago and after being spOnged
off expressed himself as feeling bet

the PreSinent was doing as well as
could be expected unber the circum-
istances, but, there is no certainty
| Lh 1t there will not be another chill
| Elberen, $50 pm. - The PresI-
| dents condition remains unchanged
and attending surgeons admit that
there is reason for grave apprehen-
sion.
Since the noon examination there

levening examination the tempera-

lduring the afternoon and has taken
his nourishment at intervals. The
cough has been less frequent than
usual. Signed, etc.

Bliss said the pulse was lO2, with
temperature not much above nor

had scarcely been telegraphed be-

cation in the case was commgni-
Gated by Col. Swain to Corbin, who
arrived here to-day, and from that
gentleman it was aScertaiHed That
| the President had been attacked
with severe chip. This al
InOuncement created great alarm,
and although it was not
generally known for some little
lime, anxiety became intense
among thnse acquainted with
the facts. Boynton said Their were
indications of chill yesterday, but
lit was discovered in time to prevent
lit. If other chills occur it will not
be surprising.
BOyntOn does not consider that
1.-The President has acute py9mia. He
ISays rigOrS are one of the symptoms
of chronic py8mla, and in his opin-
ion it was not due to the formation
lof a pus cavity along the track of
the ball as has been thought. Ham
ilton, who was TO return on Tuesday
next. arrived very unexpected to-
night. Boynton says there is no
reason for Immediate alarm on ac-
count of the rigor, although it is A
decidedly unfavOrable symptom .
The evening bulletin was received
with qualification and had the effect
