The Immediate Cause of the Presi-

The Immediate Cause of the Presi-
dents Death.
From the New York Herald.
Although the public was being gradually
and sorrowfully prepared for the dreaded
event of the Presidents death, last night Is
sad news came, nevertheless, with a start
ling suddenness.
There Is a special sadness in the thought
that just as we all expected that the pa
tient would get well he is almost in an in
stant snatched from us. Now here, then
gone. We may well stop and wonder how
this was possible in the face Of the cheer
ing bulletins that for the time being SO
gladdened an anxious nation.
In the aStoniShment Of the hour every one
will strive to reconcile the awful result
with the rosy predictions Of the different
members of the medical staff.
But we now know that it was the old, sad
story Of a weak heart suddenly giving out
when 1t could stand the strain no longer
1t Is an open secret that the President
had for long time suffered from enfee-
bled heart action. This was duly known to
his medical attendants. who so lovingly
watched and so carefully treated the slight
est unfavorable symptom Possibly too
much stress was laid upon the fact that
because the sufferer recovered so promptly
from the shock of a severe operation he
might satisfactorily weather through lesser
troubles that might await him.
The continued frequent pulse, with. a
comparatively low temperature, was, how
ever an ominous proof that the heart was
doing more than it's best. The time ele-
ment, which meant so much for the safe
healing Of the wounds, weighted it's dread
full odds against an already overworked
organ. Then came the sudden breakdown.
when remedies failed and even expert skill
was Of no avail.
As Is usual under such circumstances,
1t required but little to turn the scale
Many will doubtless associate the taking
of solid food on that fatal day as the one
determining cause. Doubtless such was
largely contributory in its way, but there
was no other channel for nourishment Of
fered to the physicians.
It was necessary to maintain the strength
Of the patient against all hazards. AS
the lower bowel became too irritable for
the retention OF alimentary substances, the
stomach must needs be given heavier work
It was a forced risk and certainly a second
choice. What can be understood by the
public as acute indigestion resulted and
the first train Of bad symptoms was thus
started. Then, too. the clearing of the
bowels became q necessity. When the lat
ter was met the prostration was seeming
~ more than the already debilitated patient
could bear.
There was then seemingly nothing
strange about the death save it's sudden
ness. The only mystery now to be solved
= that connected with the lost bullet
