At 13: p, m., whon tno woutid. was drossodl, the pulse of tho Prosident was 104, tom- peraturo 100, respiration 20, The fact that fovor oxisted at this hour was not generally known, Inasmuch as there was no bullotin fyaued,.the information being privately obtaincd from tho attonding surgcons, who, while admitting that the fovor has continued all day, as {@ ahown by the evening bulletin, do notappear to desire to convorse any more than {s necessary on tho subject, thereby Icaving the publio to forny its own conclusion ag to the causo of the continucd nigh pulse and temperaturo.
