Executive Mansion, 1880 p.m.-
Since the last bulletin the Presidenr
has not again vomited and has beer
able to retain the nourishment ad
ministered. At the morning dress
ing the discharge of pus was free
and of good character. Since ther

little below what it was at this tins

| Executive Mansion, p.m.-Much
anxiety is exhibited throughout the
city regarding the Presidents condi-
ton and a number of inquiries have
been made at the mansion through
out the day. The feeling through
out The country was similarly man
ifested by the large number of
press correspondents who called at
the White House to receive the
1890 pm. bulletin for representa-
tive papers which they represent.
Aside from this many requests for
the latest news have been received
from the several executive depart
mentS. The temperature and reSpi-
ration as stated in the last bulletin
are generally conceded as favorable
indications, but the pulse, which is
is given as 11S, causes considerable
uneasiness in the public mind.
Since the issuance Of the bulletin it
is impossible to confer directly with
any one of the attending physicians.
Attorney General MacVeagh
called a short time ago and as he
was leaving the White House he
said, in reply to interrogatories that
AgneW attributed the unusually
high pulse to the weak condition of
the patient, caused by the nausea
with which he has been troubled.
The encouragement said further
that the surgeons informed him that
there were no indications of pus
fever, and they hoped that they had
overcome the trouble from nausea.
If no further trouble from nausea
is experienced, it is thought the pa
tient will soon rally from the bad
effects Of the attack he has already
had. Surgeons took the patients
pulse about As p. M, when it was
liz, a decrease of six beats in less
than two hours. at this hour pri-
vate Secretary Brown, who has just
come from the surgeons room, says
the pulse is still decreasing.
Morphine was again administered
to the President last night before he
could sleep. and while he has not
recovered from the last operation as
the surgeons hoped, they still insist
that he will rally and believe he will
get well.
WILD RUMORS.
Chicago, ia lot of senseleSS
newsmongerS and reckless news
papers are giving currency to reports
that the President will not live.
Even at this hour neWSboys are
shouting in the streets: Full ac-
count of Garfield dying" aud On
Saturday and yesterday reports were
going about that the President was
dead. These reports are sent out to
anticipate what is a possible but ac-
cOrding to every reliable piece of in
information not at all probable
event. The reports are based on
the high temperature and pulsation
of the President and not on any
creditable reports or information.
Executive Mansion, AS p. NJ
The Presidents condition remains
about the same as when reported at
2:15 p. M, excepting, perhaps, a
slight rise in temperature by the
usual afternoon fever. The febrile
rise is said to be no greater than
heretofore. The patient has been
nauseated once since the bulletin
was sent The surgeons refer to the
last official bulletin as covering all
up to this hour, with the
exception of the return Of
nausea, and show no disposition
to talk further ON the subject. At
the Executive Mansion there is a
perceptible feeling of natural
anxiety about the patient, but no
actual alarm exists and, on the con-
trary, the present unfavorable symp-
toms are considered but temporary,
and it is thought they will soon pass
away.
