fluctuations of the pulse during the night
varied from 116 to 13O, the temperature

ishment at proper intervals. His cough
was not troublesome, and the expcctora.
tiOn was moderate. The discharge from
the wound is more healthy, and tho colcr
of the granuIation slightly improved.
DIR. l;oynton More Hopeful.
ELBERoN, Sept. 17.-Dr. Boynton says
he feels better about tho presidents con-
dition this morning than he did yesterday
morning. He does not consitlert that there
is any marked improvement, however, ex-
ceptiEg that the wound looks better. The
cabinet are expected to arrive this evening.
Detibrinated beef blood is being admins
tered to the president by eDemata. Ar
rangements have been made to have fresh
blood brought here daily. Tho patient
had two ounces Of it last night and has
had three ounces already this morning.
Good results are expected from this treat
ment.
Some Improved Symptoms.
ELBEIoN, Sept. 17.-1O:J0 A. M.-Dr.
Bliss does not think that there has been
any marked change for the better in the
presidents case. The wound looks more
favorable this morning, the pus being of q
more healthy character. The suppuration
from the rari:tid is trifc less than il has
been and looks more healthy. The lung
trouble has not increased in area and is
considered to be in better condition. The
cough is less annoying and the cxpcctora-
tiOn not SO exhaustive. A better day than
yesterday is expected. Pulse now LOG.
Blaine's First Assistant.
ELBEEOE, Sept. II, 1l:15.-Dr. Bliss
says the presidents pulse is now 1O2. His
general condition is unchanged. Assistant
Secretary of State Hit arrived last even
ing.
Pulse I3.
ELBEEoN, Sept. II. 49, The president
had rigor between II and 12 o'clock this
lasting about half all hour. The
pulse ran up to 137, and at this hour,
12:45 p. M, the pulse is about 120.
The Situation Decidedly Critical.
ELBERON, Sept. III z. M.-The presi-
dent had a rigor about II o'clock this
1t lasted about 20 minutes,
during which time the pulse ran up to 137.
After the risor passed Off the prcsi
dent vomited considerably. His pulse
at this hour has decreased TO
120, temperature being 101 and respiration
81. The situation is decidedly critical, in
asmuch rs there is great probability that
more chills will occur. 1t now transpires
that there were indications of Il rigor yes
terday. The president also suffered from
over-eating last night, being troubled with
pains in his stomach. !
Dr.. BoyntOn, i'll answer to interroyations
Of representative of the associated press,
shortly after the risor became known,
said that it was one of the many unfavOr,
able symptoms which must be looked
for at this stage of the case, at the
same time reasserting his remarks made
heretofore to the effect that everything
terrible follows the existence of chronic
pyamia. Great apprehension prevails.
The President DeicriOus.
LONG BRANCH, Sept. Ill 80 p. H.
After tho rigor passed off the president
perspiring quite freely. During
tle prevalence of the rigOr he was dclirious.
Little More comfortable.
ELEERON, Sept. 1890 p. Mp to
this time no further rigors have occurred.
The last information from the sick room
was that the patient was more comfortable
While there is great danger OF the chills
it is hoped that the result may
be obviated.
The patients pulse remains at 120 and
his temperature and respiration are still
high. The occurrence of rigor at this
time is conceded as evidence of acute py-
emia.
An opinion prevails that the rigor was
occasioned by the collection Of pus in the
track Of the wound, but DR.. Boynton is
Of the opinion that it is result of an ab-
scess on the right lung.
The situation at this hour may be briefly
stated to be a race between exhaustion
and vitality. The president overcame the
rigors which occurred in July, and it is
thought possible that he has sufficient
strength left to overcome the present
crisis.
At the time of giving the information
used in these dispatches to the effect That
The pulse was 1O2 DR.. Bliss was not aware
that the chill had occurred. Tho rigor |
,amc on at exactly 1852 a. IN.
