THE ALARM AND ANXIETY LAST NIGHT. ee The anxious feeling that prevailed last night regarding the condition of the President was somewhat relieved by the reports from the sick room this morning, which, in- stead of indicating a continuance of the most alarming symptoms, as it was feared they would, gave eonsiderable encourazement to those who are hopefully disposed. The morn- ing bulletin was awaited with great anxiety. It was issued, as usual, at 8:30 o'clock, and was as follows: Favorable Oficial Morning Bulletin. * A MARI ). IMPROVEMENT INDICATED. Execeriy , August 16, 8:30 a. m. The President was somewhat restless and vomited several times during the ea part of the night.

VICE PRESIDENT ARTHUR. It cannot be learned at the White House whether or not the Vice President has been tele- graphed for. It is known, however, he is hourly advised of the President's condition. It is held that his presence here, however, isnot absolutely necessary, even in case of the worst, as he can just as well take the oath of the presidential office in New York city before a justice of the peace as in Washington before the Chief Justice of the District or an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. THE PRESIDENT’S DYSPBPSIA. The announcement that the President has been a dyspeptic for years, has rather surprised those who have known him as he appeared in public, but not acquainted with his home life. Tt is stated now that he has been under the treatment of Dr. Baxter for years, on account of | indigestion. Friends of the family say that | this accounts for his rare appearance at evening | entertainments, the rich viands served gen- erally on such occasions ‘giving him great dis- | tress. During the excitement of the late cam- ) paign, Private Secretary Brown says the Presi- | dent suffered greatly with this malady, which | was contracted in the army. THE PRESIDENTS LETTER TO WIS MOTHER. The elder Mrs. Garfield was greatly cheered | and comforted by the letter which her wounded | son sent to her last week.

At the White House this morning, after the 8:30 bulletin was issued (as printed in the extra Star). the gloom of last night was dispelled, in @ measure, and hope was again dominant. Private Secretary Brewn was constantly re- assuring those who called, From the sick room itself but little could be learned. The doctors were all on hand this morning except Doctor Hamilton, who will arrive on this afternoon's limited express. It is stated, unofficially, that the doctors do not contemplate trying toadminister any nourishment to-day, as, it Is said, the patient's stomach now needs absolute rest. During the morning the members of the Cabinet called. Attorney Genefal MacVeagh is not at all hopeful, although all of the others feel sanguine. It is still the hope that the President can be sustained by food injections until his stomach is strengthened. 10:30 a.m.—The Patient in a Critical Condi- tion, But There is Yet Hope.

I hope, at all events, until we can repair the tone of the stomach.” On this latter point doctors disagree. Secre- tary of War Lincoln is quoted as having said there must be something done to nourish the President inside of forty-eight hours, or the case would be a decidedly dangerous and agzravated one.

Assistant Secretary of State Hitt, who4ust | came from the private part of the house, was | asked if he had any favorable news to communi- “Tam very sorry that I have not; in fact, I know nothing of | the late condition of the patient. Although I have been inside, the surgeons told me nothing important.” ; Mr. Hitt just sent the following cablegram: “Lovell, Minister, London: “The President's condition causes great anxiety. Restless and vomited early part of night. Tranquil to-day, but not rallied as much as hoped at 12:30. Pulse 114, temperature 98.3, respiration 18. Stomach refuses nourishment. (Signed,) Hirt, Acting Secretary.” MRS. GARFIELD is said to be as cheerful as the circumstances wil} allow, and she still entertains a strong -belief that her husband will recover. DR. AGNEW SAYS THERE IS STILL 4 CHANCE OF RECOVERY. Dr. Agnew is quoted as having said this afternoon that the patient was no weaker than he was yesterday, and that there was a very reasonable chance of his pallying. This state- ment, however, was not obtained in a direct manner. Whatever may be said, there is no de- nying that the case is extremely critical at the present moment, and unlcss a favorable change occurs within a short time, may prove fatal. MRS. EDSON STILI HAS HOPES. Mrs. Edson, one of the attendants upon the President, retired at four o'clock this morning and did not leave the mansion for her home until noon. Previous to her departure, she said, in reply to the interrogatories of a news- paper correspondent, that the President’s case at this time was certainly very critical, but that she still had hopes of his recovery. The trouble with the President's stomach, she said, evidently had nothing to do with the condition of the wound. “Comparatively considered,” she re- marked in this connection, ‘the wound is nearly healed.” This new trouble, she said, is perfectly understood by the surgeons, and they all have the same idea about it. She said further that the President comprehends the exact situation; that he has been told his stomach demanded ab- solute rest, and that no attempt will be made for the present to give him nourishment in the regular manner. The lady, in concluding, ex- pressed a hope that by to-morrow the patient's stomach would be strong enough to retain something. In response to an inquiry, she said is expected to arrive in Washington about ten o'clock to-night. HOW THE BULLETINS ARE COMPARED AXD CON- STRUED BY OUTSIDE DocToRs. The 12:30 bulletin, it seems to be generally agreed, was not nearly so reassuring ashad hoped. It shows that while the pulse was quent and increased since morning, that temperature had fallen. This morning the letin ature at 98.6. At noon it had fallen three-tenths to 98.3, or below normal. some physicians say, indicates that there is nothing left for the fever to feed upon, and that the President’s body is growing cold.
