WASHINGTON, August l6.-The one
o'clock bulletin states that the President
has not rallied from the. exhaustion oil
Yesterday, as the surgeons had hoped.
His pulse is ia, temperature 9S SO,
respiration lS The bulletin says the
President had tranquil morning, and
had not vomited since the morning bull
le,in. The morning bulletin stated that
he had not vomited since A. NJ, and
the o'clock bulletin, taken i'll con-
nection with that, implies that
he had vomited this morning.
At IL o'clock the surgeons said they
thought they could determine by l p.
NJ. whether the President would live or
70 that ii his temperature went down
and his pulse kept up it would be sign
of death. At that hour his pulse re-
ceded some, kut his temperature has
gone three tenths OF degree. The
surgeons say nothing now, but it is eyi'
dent they entertain little hope. The
fall of his emperdture, though silght,
Is regarded as serious anu lOlCOoNihs
of the worse results. 1t is true his
pulse has fallen some, but his tempera
ture has now gone below normal,
which is most danger
ous symptom The Presidents stomach
still refus es all nourishment. The food
iniect,sn have only been partially sue
cessiul, hut liie cannot long be sustain
Ell in this manner. The surgeons stick
close to the President, watching every
move and hoping for some favorable
turn. From all information to be ob'
tained it can be stated that the chance
of the Presidents recovery is very sllm'
The surgroLs do not Aive up the case,
AMI that is the best that can be said
The President does not rally one partl'
Gle. He remains about the same appa
rsnt'y, and nothing can be done to im'
part any strength. All that people can
DO is to hope, although there is moi
much in the case now to base hope upon
The spirit OF despondency has now In
yaded the White House.

Sad Scenes In and About the Mansion
Intense Anxiety Msnifested-The Pres

ExEcUrIvE MANSION, 10 p. M.-To-day
has been the most unsatisfactory
day of the Presidents illness. The
early morning showed signs OF less hope
for the Presidents recovery, and the
Cabinet officers, Department officials and
others of more or less Importance, call
ed at the White House to obtain the in
dications. With few exceptions the
official bulletins have been referred to
as the answers to the interrogations as
to the patients condition, there being
little beyond what they contained to
say.
The anxiety shown has not been con-
fined to few persons, but may be said
to have been almost universal through
out the city. The attending
Surgeons Have Avoided Conversation.
as much as possible, especially with the
members of the press and the greatest
difficulty has been experienced in sup.
plylng the demands OF the public Tor the
exact condition of the President.
Although the assurances OF recovery
were far from satisfactory they were ac-
cepted with much qualification and
soon changed the decided sadness which
had pervaded the house all afternoon
into a general feeling OF hopefulness
The most sanguine were

ietin the expressions OF DR.. Bliss had
become quite well known aud their
effect was very noticeable.
Dr. Bliss brought the bulletin from the
surgeons room, and the moment he ap-
peareG in the Secretary's apartment 1t
was apparent that therer were no eX-
tremely unfavorable symptoms. Assls
tant Secretary Pruden took the bulletin
from the Doctor and read it aloud to the
anxious gathering. 1t was stated by DR..
Bliss after the reading was concluded
that the bulletin, in his opinion, con-
sidering the circumstances, was favor
able one. A good feature OF the bulletin
was the rise in the temperature, which
is six.tepths of a degree htsuOi ''.''-- -

however slight, for the fever to work
upon. The vomiting referred to have
been very slight and was the
RESULT OF the patient drinking
ice water. 1t so appears
that after drinking he expressed desire
to be turned upon his side, and the dis
turbance of his body is supposed to
have irritated his stomach again, which
is now extremely weak. The only nour'
ishment the patient has had to day
has been the enemata, which, as shown
by the bulletin, has been retained,
There is still grave fears tina: the morn
ing will not bring much encouragement
owing to the extreme debilitated condi-
ton OF tbs patient.

can't predict with any degree OF certain
ty what will be the result
