Long Branch. 10 asa m.-Ths president
passed fairly good night. During the early
part OF the night he was troubled with cough
ing more SO than on any previous night, and
hts general condition 10 less favorable to-day.
There are no new COIN plications ond no indi-
cations Of any, but ths patients condition
shows that he has not improved In ths past Is
hours. The wound has assumed q moro un-
healthy appearance, and the discharge from 1t
has been growing more unsatisfactory since
this morning 10 OF no better character than
the discharge last night Small, bad sores
hsv9 again appeared, but DIR Boynton says
they are caused from cons snly lying in bed,
and are attributed 10 the extreme debility OF
the patient. DIR Boynton also kays the circu
lation OF the patient 1 good, and pulse Ia not
OF more depressed or unfavorabls character
than heretofore, The suxiety which now
prevails Is whether or not the president
is able to- stand the bur-
den which he Ia now carrying.
DR.. Boynton sayshe still hopes that he viii,
but the question is one which can only be de.
termined by the future. The patients mind
is also very weak aud shows evidences OF dis.
tuTb.nce by contipuod hallucinstioAs. There
ls siill a continuance of serious disturbance of
the parotid gland, and on this whole the case
may be summed up with the assertion that the
present moment ls one OF extreme
anxiety and devoid of sufficient
presidont will overcome the excessive
debility Ehioh has established itself All are
hopeful, however, especially DIR. Boynton, who
| asserts without hesitation that the probabii.
ties are that there is sufficient vitality left TO
override the present pniavorable symptoms,
but on the other hand he is unwilling 10 graut
| that there Is anything 70 warrant a sauguine
| opinlon.to that effect.
GLOOMY REPORTS
New York, September 49, The specials
| from Elber0n are of most gloomy character.
The Post says the president Ia nearing another

manilesting itself 10 various threatening
symptoms, bed sores for instance, which
| were present inWashingtOn and which healed,
apparently, but after his removal here have
| again maze their appearance. This
morning his pulse 1uohated wildly and
his mind is loss clear. On the uhols
the outlook is not encouraging and the next
iorty-elSht hours may bring very sad
now feared the president had not sunlclsnt
vitality left to surmount the present difficulties,
| even II no new complications made their APP
pearance. The Commercial saysthis has been
| one or the gloomiest days since the president
arrived, and although the morning bulletin
| did not create panic, 1t came near doing 80,
aud greatly depressed the spirits Of every body,
Including Attorney General McVeagh, who
tho time the bulletin appeared,
The doctors were not inclined
to alkmuch, a sure sign thRt the president is
worse, or not doing woll. DIR Boynton, how
ever, did not conceal his opinions, and said
ne thought the situation looked very gave.
and said that II was doubtful whethsr there Ia
sufficient renaaining Vitality In the president
to pull through, even without other compllea-
tions. The right lung is not healing, but
| gives every evidence .of an extended abscess
and increased infismmatles. DR. Boynton IL
not therefore satisfied with the condition #
things and does not hetitats to say 30. In con-
ysrsatlon this afternoon Gen Swain said 1t was
| hard to say vhatohange had occurred In the
presldents condition since yesterday, 1t be-
Ing so slight lie did not like the condition or
| the appearance OF the wound its discharge be.
Ing OF an unhealthy character. He did not
| think there had been any actual loss of
strength In twenty-tour hours, but certainly
there had been no gain, Nourshment has
been given freely. Including milk and brandy
| and this stimulant has had a beneficial effect,
| The most important work new TO be done Ia to
| build up his stIength, so as to withstand the
strain made by the wound upon the system. 1t
is essential TO his recnvery that he gains
strength, which he. has not done up TO this
| timo.
THE LANCET OK THE SITUATION.
London, september l6.-Tbe Lancet this
| week says tho reasons OF the troubles with
President Gareeld's lungs is hypeststic con-
geston at their basis because OF depressed res
piratlon arising from long. recumbsncs
Sitting up will probably give much relief but
until all the signs OF affectation OF the lungs
have passed, the hopeful progress constantly
cabed here 10 not well founded although IL
may prove lucky gueas.
