OftNew York. Says there is NO Hope for
the President.

NEW YORK. August Is. Ex-Surgeon Gen.
eral, DIR. William H. Hammond said this
morning: The idea is the President is suffer
ing from dyspepsia. He is suffering simply
from pymea, and has ever since he had the
severe chill some time since, and those that
followed. The vomiting and irritation of
the stomach is brought on by the bullet being
left in his body. Mark nv words, there is
no hope for the President l will give him
but three or four days to live. and then YOU
will have to chronicle his death. l have the
highest respect for Drs. Agnew and Hamil-
ton, but they were called in as consulting
ply sicians. and had to take the report of the
attending surgeons.
The wound was not sufficient to cause
death had it been properly treated. Would
you suggest a change Of his physicians at
this stage! don't see any chance for him
nov he has gone so far without the right
kind of treatment have to speak plain be-
cause the actual facts must be met some time
or smother.

WASHINGTON, August 16.


Private Secretary Brown came from the
surgeons room few moments ago, and re-
ported the President then sleeping. No NOR
phia has been injected. and there has been no
report Of nausea since 8 A. NJ. Two enema
t. have been successfully administered since
midnight. Secretary Brown says the morn
ing dressing showed that the wound was in
perfectly healthy condition.
Members Of the cabinet arrived at various
times during the early morning. Attorney
General MacVeagh accompanied DR.. Agnew,
arriving At the Mansion at 100. When he
returned from the private part of the house,
he expressed the opinion that while there was
yet hope, the patient was certainly in q very
critical condition.
There has been . noticeable despondency
expression visible on those having access to
the Presidents chamber, and the greatest reti-
cence is observed by the attending surgeons,
who do not enter the business portion of the
house unless absolutely necessary.
The respondent expression Of Atty. Gen.
MacVeaeh was especially noticeable. Short
ly after nine o'clock the cabinet officers. with
the exception Of Lincoln. who arrived at
later hour, having just returned from New
York, left the White House for their respec-
tive departments. The day bids fair to be
one Of anxious waiting. The midday bulle-
tin is anxiously looked for.

The consultation of the cabinet was with
regard to the Presidents condition. twas to
prearrange affairs and was for the purpose
of bearing in body statement as to the
probable outcome Of the present crises from
one af the attending surgeons. Immediately
after the members assembled DR.. Bliss was

substantially the same manner as he has be-
fore during the day. He treasured the cab

better spirits. There is, at this hour, more
hopeful feeling about the White House.

Council were in session ready to do their

meeting the Indebtedness and fulfilling
the obligations of the State towards its
creditors. But no Governor appeared to
sign the official warrant for the money
due from the State. and but that State
Treasurer Holbrook came forward and
personally assumed the responsibility OF
payment. the demands against the State
would have gone to protest, and the State
would have been dishonored.
And so the question arises, Have we a
Governor II we have Governor, why
does he not perform the duties which he
has sworn to perform, and which are
necessary to the well being OF the State
and the preservation Of its honorP IL is a
very serious thing for Governor, 1t we
have one, to permit the financial obliga-
tons Of the State to be dishonored, es-
pecially after the legislature made pro-
vision TO meet them, and all that was
needed was the attendance of the Gov
