She | has been told that the worst is possibly near. As shé has done during the whole illness of the glandular —_ swelling. The trouble The exhaustion continues and is not checked. A CHANGE FOR THE WORSE AT 4 O'CLOCK THIS MORNING. Dr. Bliss this morning before the bulletin was issued, told Mr. Brown that there was no en- couragement. The other physicians say the same thing. The President’s case is now re- garded ashopeless by every one, including even bad change occurred this morning about four o’clock. Until that time the little hope that had found its way into the breasts of the people | at the White House was held there. But the change was so great as to be entirely unmistak- able. The President may live for 24 hours. It is a bare “may live,” however. Dr. Bliss said in answer to an inquiry that he would not predict that the President would live twenty-four hours. Two of the doctors; who knew nothing of the change early this | morning, were greatly surprised at the very bad news which greeted them when they came to be present at the morning examination. The bul- letin was very depressing. It was bad all around, | except in the fact that the nourishment was re- tained. The pulse was fluctuating still when the examination was made. dnd the figure 120, | at which it is placed in the bulletin, is only ap- proximate. The following is the bulletin: Official Bulletin—8:30 a.m. The President slept from half an hour to an hour, or more, at a time throughout the night. He continues to retain the liquid food adminis- tered by the mouth, and the stimulating ene- mata; nevertheless, his pulse has been more frequent since midnight, and he is evidently feebler this morning than yesterday.

The failure of the pulse and temperature to rise and fall together is now one of the very b way and the temperature another is usually a sign of approaching dissolution. Their see- sawing causes the gravest apprehensions. MRS. GARFIELD INFORMED OF THE DANGER. Last night Dr. Reyburn, recognizing the great danger, told Mrs. Garfield that it would be better that all the children should sleep in the house. For this reason Miss Mollie, who has been passing the nights at Col. Rockwell's, came from there and passed the night at the Execu- tive Mansion. There was not much sieeping at the White House except by the President, and that sleep was of a character to give unrest to others. ALL THE CABINET OFFICERS called early this morning, having been informed of the bad condition of the President. Post- master General James, Secretary Kirkwood and Secretary Windom left together about nine o'clock. Not one of them felt the least encour- agement. “What do you think of it {asked Tue Star reporter of the Postmaster General. “IT cannot think,” was the reply. “Is it not about as bad as it could te?” “It is very bad; but while there is life there is hope.” | LAST NIGHT'S BULLETIN.

In this aspect there is a slight feeling of | encouragement, or at least a ray of hope. ‘The muh ymptoms are still manifest, and the worable indication of swallowing and di- ing liquid food continues.

At the special meeting for prayer at the Christ- | jan church last night, in whieh the pastors of ' various Protestant churches united, it was agreed to recommend that their churches observe to- merrow as a day of ectper cr mga and and that they invite all er cheba us ety and throughout the country, as far obsery- »ssible, to unite with them in this countrymen. to the world that in the capital of the nation the officers of the law were unable to enforce its the interference of a mob will be a battery of artillery. in Washington, and about 250 marines at the froin Cape May this morning, states that in the the first opportunity, nor anything lik what he did say, was what has a stated in Tue Stax, that there were orga izations in the country formed since the assas nation who did not intend that Guiteau should escape punishment.

It is needless to say that this letter been increased, but it is understood that the under orders, and in case of an uprising they could in a few moments reinforce the the prisoner shall be kept THE PRESIDENT’S BROTHER-IN-LAW AND YOUNGER sons. A dispatch from Cleveland says: Joseph Ru- dolph, brother-in-law of the President, left there yesterday afternoon for Washington, in company with Captain Henry. Mr. Rudolph has been in charge of the Mentor homestead while the Presi- dent has been away, and had the care of the President’s two younger sons, aged nine and eleven years. In obedience toa telegram Thurs- day night from Mrs. Garfield the sons are left at Mentor. They were informed Thursday evenin; of the President's almost hopeless condition and Were greatly distressed, but did not murmur on being told they could not go to him. THE PRESIDENT'S ALLEGED SUPERSTITION AS TO SATURDAY. It was mentioned in the third edition of Tur Srar last night, as a matter of interest at this time, that the President has a sort of a supersti- tion that if he dies it will be on Saturday. He has spoken of this conviction, it is said, several times. It is stated that the President has from boy- hood had a superstitious vein in his composition. It is stated that when quite a young man he en- tertained the belief that "he would not live be- yond ciety ee years—the age at which his father died. Another story is that shortly after the breaking out of the war, and while his friends were trying to secure for him the col- ency of the 42d Ohio regiment, he was tendered the command of the 7th. Turning to a friend when the intelligence reached him, he said with asad smile, “Seven times six forty-two. old fellow. I had set my heart on that regiment; I shall surely die in my forty-second year.” It is unnecessary to add that he did not die. A Curious Story from Philadelphia. WHAT COL. CORKHILL IS REPORTED TO HAVE SAID. A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun this morning from Philadelphia, Pa., says: Col. Cork- hill, U. S. District attorney for the District of Columbia, who has been taking a vacation at Cape May, left to-day for Washington, having received dispatches that the President cannot possibly live. Col. Corkhill says he is fully aware of the existence of a secret organization in Washington city whose purpose is, in the event of President Garfield’s death, to break the jail and put an immediate end to the life | of the assassin Guiteau. Their desire is to hang Guiteau by a slow process, and in the meantime each member of the organization is to be allowed to put a bullet in Guiteau’s body, taking care not to strike him in any vital point until the last possible moment. The colonel says he has good reasons for the be- lief that the guards of the jail, who are all of them ex-Union soldiers, know of this secret organization and are in sympathy with it. He Says that it has been with the utmost difficulty that the warden of the jail has prevented these guards long ere this from finding some excuse to kill Guiteau. This explains the encounter between a guard and Guiteau, which took place inthe latter’s cell recently. Guiteau knows the guards want to kill him, and for that reason he has suffered great mental anguish since the first relapse of the President. He is so nervous that he gets little or no sleep. The colonel says that while he believes that no torture too great can be visited on Guiteau, he must see that the law is obeyed which protects Guiteau and se- cures for him a fair trial before a jury of his He says it would never do to go mandates, and were at the mercy of a mob. All that will be necessary to secure the jail from There are now three batteries of United States artillery stationed at the arsenal navy-yard. COL. CORKHILL DENIES. Col. Corkhill who returned to Washington interview telegraphed from Philadelphia, he never made any assertion that there was an or ganized band of which the guards, were mem- bers, who contemplated shooting Guiteau at it; that | dy been Guiteau in Jail.

SO SAYS DOCTOR BLISS. OTHER VIEWS MOREHOPEFUL. A CABINET CONFERENCE, Review of the Situation this Morning. THE LAST RAY OF HOPE EXTINGVISHED BY THE 8:30 BULLETIN. About 7 o'clock this morning the first intelli- |, gence bearing on the condition of the President was recelyed from the physicians room. This information, though meagre, was discouraging. It was substantially to the effect that the President’s condition was a little less encouraging than at alate hour Tast night; that his pulse had not yet been taken, but that it was noticeably less firm. This feeble rise of pulse was not noticed until Dr. Bliss went to his bedside about 6 o'clock this morn- ing. He then observed that although the fre- quency of the pulse had not materially changed its character was weaker and more unsteady. He did not interpret this ‘as certain evidence of the nearness of the end, but a cir- cumstance calculated to narrow still more the President's chances for recovery. A painful pe- riod of suspense intervened between the receipt of this information and the appearance ot the morning bulletin, and the latter was Waited for with an ominous foreboding that it would confirm the worst fears. The bulletin when it made its appearance with the positive statement that the President had grown feebler since yesterday, and noting a marked increase in pulse and respiration, ex- tinguished the last ray of hope held by the gen- eral public, and cast a deeper gloom over those near and dear to the President. The physicians do not say, however, that hope is dead. Secretary Blaine to Minister Lowell. THE PRESIDENTS SYMPTOMS ARE OF THE MOST ALARMING CHARACTER. Secretary Blaine sent the following telegram to Minister Lowell this morning: EXECUTIVE MaNsioy, August 27. Lowell, Minister, London: The President had a bad night, and his symp- toms at this hour—9 o’clock—are of the most alarming character. Brats, Secretary. THE PATIENT'S CONDITION SHORTEY AFTER TEN o’cLocK ‘was pronounced by one of the physicians to be about the same as it was yestetday afternoon, when, it will be remembered, hig: condition was very low, his pulse going up to 188. The con- dition of the gland and wound continues about the same. Suppuration still goes on, but the current report that the pus is of athin character is generally believed. 10:30—THE PATIENT MORE COMFORTABLE. Dr. Reyburn reports that the President's strength up to this hour has not perceptibly failed sineg the morning examination. He con- tinues totake food about as weli as heretofore, and the frequency of his pulse has not increased. He has Just been sponged off aud seems more comfortable. 10:50 P.M.—GEN. SWAIMS STATEMENT OF THE PRESIQENT’S CONDITION. Gen. Swaim in an interview with a reporter of the Associated Press “at 10:40 this morning, said that the President’s pulse had varied a good deal since the morning dressing. The least ex- ertion, or any slight movement of the body was enough to ine! eits frequency sothat although its average rate might not change a great deal it was occasionally higher for short periods. “The swollen parotid gland,” he said, ‘“con- tinues to discharge through the ear and through: the incision made several days ago, and the discharge seems to afford relief.” The surgeons still hope that the nourishment which the pa- tient takes will sustain his strength and keep him on the present plane of vitality, until the glandular abscess becomes less threatening, when there will be, in Gen. Swaim’s opinion, a chance at least of recuperation. 11 a.m.—Dr. Bliss Says There Is No Change Since the Morning Balletin. At eleven o'clock this morning,’ Dr. Bliss said to Tue Star reporter that there was “no change in the President’s condition since 8:30 o'clock.” “How about the wound and the gland?” asked the reporter. “Their condition is about the same,” answered the doctor. “‘Isthere any improvement in the general condition of the President?” “I cannot say that there is.” “How is the pulse, now?” “The pulse has gone down to 114. There is nothing I can say other than what is contained artillery at the jail. It is thought that Guiteau fears an attack on the Jail, and that rather than fall in the hands of a mob he would have no hesitancy in putting an end to his existence. PUBLIC FEELING. The feeling in the community as the Presi- dent's condition gets worse is becoming intensely bitter. The government doubtless intends that safe and that he shall be given a fair trial. PRECAUTIONS TAKEN BY THE GOVERNMENT. Gen. Sherman said last night that full prepa- rations had been made to meet any possible emergency, but declined to say what the ar- Tangements were; that the of State, the Secretary of War and himeelf had consulted and perfected the plans; that the majesty of the law would be held; that the jail was the proper place for prisoners, as provided by the statates; and that there was mo need for unnecessary public excitement. , POSTAL CARDS FOR GUITEAU. Many postal cards continue to arrive in this city by mai}, addressed to Guiteau, the assassin. Among these are the following: One from Greene, lowa, dated August 28, is as follows: “We wish we were thy night-cap strings; in the statement that there has been no change. 11:30 A. M—VERY CRITICAL. ‘The situation of the President has not: changed much since the earlier parts of the morning, but continue very critical. The members of the Cabinet are all still here. WHAT MEMBERS OF THE CABINET SAY. Secretary Windom said that it was useless to disguige the fact that the morning bulletin was very discouraging. He was not ready, how- ever, himself, to saythat the case is hopeless He intended to hope, and think, and believe to the end, that the President will live. Post- master General James would only say, “while there is life there is hope.” Attorney’ General avdmi less hopefal this morning.’ eae NOON.—VARIOUS OPINIONS 48 ™® THE PRESI- DENT'S Case. Representative Dezendorf, of Virginia, was at the White House this morning. He went to the telegraph office after his conversations with the people at the House,and sent two dispatches home to the effect that while the President's condition was very critical he dia not believe A Cabinet Conference. The members of the Cabinet are in conference. It is said they are discussing the advisability of telegraphing for the Vice President. As hereto- fore stated that will not be done until the last hope of a favorable turn has gone. DECIDED NOT TO SEND FOR THE VICE PRESIDENT. Secretary Blaine, Postmaster General. James and Attorney General MacVeagh left the White House at noon. It had been decided not to send fir the Vice President yet. Dr. Bliss’ ad- vice was that there was no necessity for send- ing for Vice President Arthur. Secretaries Win- dom, Hunt and Blaine left very soon after noon. They said there was no change, and they gave no encouragement to the crowd of questioning newspaper men which now dots the White House porch. 12:30—ATTORNEY GENERAL MACVEAGH AUTHOR- IZES THE STATEMENT that Vice President Arthnr has not been tele- graphed for, and that no decision to send for him has yet been arrived at. DR. BLISS SAID TO A REPORTER of the Associated Press at noon that his belief is the President cannot recover. He thinks, how- ever, that his death will not occur immediately, and that he may linger several days. What Dr. Bliss Said at Noon. THE END NOT LIKELY TO COME FOR SOME DAYS. Dr. Bliss was asked at twelve o’clock how the President was doing ? 4 5 “There has been no change,” said the doctor. “To say that there is no change but a continua- tion of his symptoms, of course shows failure.” “Is there any swelling on the body except in the gland?” “None whatever.” Ts his mind clear ?” “His mind is very clear to-day. It is clearer | than for several days. He looks about the same | as he did yesterday. Has the President lost hope?” “I don't think he has. He wasa little dis- | turbed about seven o'clock this morning. To | keep his courage up is, however, a part of our | treatment of the cas r “How is his pulse “It is now about 116. It fluctuates from 112 to 120.” ‘*Has there been any gain?” “There has certainly been no gain. In his | very weak condition the fact that he does not gain shows a worse condition.” “It would take a strong rally to pull him through?” “It would take a very marked gain of | Strength. The slim chance for his recovery is slimmer now. It gets slimmer as the time pro- gresses without any additional strength being eained, ‘As I said before, no gain is in his case a loss.” you hope of his recovery?” press a hope that he may get well. My belief is that he will not recover. If it were not for the local trauble I would think he would get through. But with that trouble continuing fT do not think hecan improve. In fact I can- not see how he can repair, he is so weak, and the debility has gone so far.” “Do you think he will live two or three days longer?” “Yes, I think he will.” “Will there be sufficient known of his condi- one prepare all for the culmination before hand?” “Yes. It will be known about what time the illness will culminate. All will know of it. He is very likely to get into a comatose state. I expect that his faculties will fail him before final dissolution — It is almost certain that they will fail. Mrs. Garfield fully comprehends the President's most critical condition. I told her myself this morning that the President’s condi- tion was exceedingly grave.” “Was anything further done to the swollen gland or the wound to-day?” “Only the usual morning dressing, and that was ly and delicately done. The discharge continues from the wound, and from the gland both through the ear and the incision made by Dr. Hamilton.” “Is the process of. as satisfactory now?” “No, it is not. DR. BOYNTON THINKS THERE IS LITTLE CHANCE FOR RECOVERY. Dr. Boynton said at noon “There has been no change in the President’s general condition. The pulse varies, but does not go uphigher than 120 or 125. His mental condition is better than it has been for two davs previous. The trouble is the lack of vitality. I think there is very little chance for his recovery.” THE NOON BULLETIN showed that the predictions made during the morning of no change were in all practical re- spects correct. The pulse and respiration was the same, while the temperature had gone up. Speaking from Dr. Bliss’ standpoint of “no gain is a loss.” the President’s condition at the issu- ance of the bulletin was worse than it was this morning. In other words, the sinking condi- tion of the President continues, and he is not even repairing a little, while a good strong rally is necessary. The bulletin was as follows: Official Report—12:30, XO MATERIAL CHANGE SINCE MORNING. EXECUTIVE MANSION, 12:30 p.m. There has been no improvement in the Presi- dent’s condition since the last bulletin was issued. He continues to retain the liquid food administered by the mouth as well as the enemata. At the morning dressing the parotid swelling appeared about the same as yesterday. Ng material change was observed in the wound. Sifice morning the temperature has risen about & degree, and the pulse has fluctuated some- what. At present his pulse is 120; temperature, 99.6; respiration, 22. Frank H. Hamitton, D. W. Biss, J. K. Barnes, Ropert REYsURN. DR. REYBURN THINKS THE HOPE OF RECOVERY VERY FAINT. 3 Dr. Reyburn said at one’ o'clocl 0 THE Star reporter: “The President has slept during the morning. He continues to take ncurisliment.” “Doctor, do you think there is any possible hope of recovery?” “Well, itis a very faint hope.” “DON'T ASK ME THAT QUESTION.” Dr. Hamilton leftthe White House at a quarter past one. “Is there anything you can tell me?” asked the Star man. “There isnot. There is nothing outside of the bulletin that I can tell you.” “How do you feel about it doctor; do you think the President will die?” “‘Well—,” and there was a pause of a few seconds, and then suddenly, “Don’t ask me that question.” COL.

This morning the bulletins were Another Interview With Dr. Bliss, In an interview with a reporter of the Asso- ciated Press, Dr. Bliss replied to questions sub- stantially as follows: “What view do you take, doctor, of the Presi- dent's condition to-day? “I think he is no better to-day than yesterday, and when I say he is no better, it is about equiv- alent to saying that he is worse. because the longer he goes on in this way without positive | repair, the less become his chances of recov- ery.” “Has he failed mach this forenoon?” “Not Agreat deal since 7 o'clock. His time of greatest depression is early in the morning. It was so yesterday morning and was so again this morning. After that he rallied a little and his pulse fluctuated during the forenoon between 110 and 118.” . “Does he realize his condition?” “T think he does to a certainextent.

That seemed to brace him up, and he soon afterward rallied.” “What is the condition of his mind to-day?” “His mind is absolutely clear.” “ Better then than yesterday 2?” “Much better. He understands everything what goes on about him.” “What is the appearance of the parotid gland “Tt has not changed much.” “ Does it continue to discharge ?” “ Yes; it discharges rather more freely, I think, any of the other glands of the body af- } No.” And there is no Suppuration except in the “Nowhere else.” «How does the wound look?” “Not quite so well as heretofore. ‘The granu- lations were not so perfect this morning as they ** Has the character of the pus from the wound “Not materjally.

There was much quiet, subdued bustle and again increase in size until shortly before noon. The mounted messengers were kept on the go all the while and rode their horses never at a less speed than a gallop. Mr. Brown’s room | was not crowded, some restriction to admission thereto having been made. The crowd of bulle- tin flends is kept out of the room. Those anx- iously looked for pieces of paper are distributed from down stairs. The noisy stampede follow- ing the handing out of the bulletins is thus avoided. At one time yesterday the rush away seemed to shake the whole house.

There wasa feverish excitement in the city Over the whole city is aa gioom like that which followed the sssassination of President Lincoln... Instead of THE VICE PRESIDENTS CALLERS. The New York Sun of to-day says: “Vice President Arthur remained in his houke in Lex- ington avenue last evening. Ex-Senator Platt was among his callers. Mr. Arthur said that he had no other news of the President's condi- tion than had been sent to the newspapers, and that he awaited a summons before starting to Washington. Senator Jones and ex-Senator Conkling called during the evening, and Col. George Bliss celled early, and, going away, re- turned again. He was with Mr. Arthur and Senator Jones at midnight, at which time Mr. Arthur said he had not been summoned to Wash- ington, and didn’t expect to go there at one.” THE SAINTS AND THE PRESIDENT. At the Massachusetts districts conference of the church of Jesus ist or Latter-Day Saints, held last Saturday. in Providence, R. . representing the church in the states of ‘Massa> chusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut, the fol- lowing was adopted: “Inasmuch as there has been seen sent broadcast through the daity papers. reports that the Latter-Day Saints rejoiced over the assassination of Prosi- dent Garfield, and as we are known to some exe tent by that name, people in Utah bearing a similar name, sequently liable to suffer reproach; resoived that we, the recognized Church of J Christ of Latter-Day Saints, look with disdain upon and deprecate the worse than attack upon the life of Presiden in common with to hope and pray for his complete to health, for we want and wish James .

It isnot the impression, however, that the lower house will be so convened. When the Senate meets | under the grave exigencies which will confront it the opportunity for a display of genuine pa- triotism and statesmanship will be presented. There will be no one to call the body together. There will be no Vice President and there is no secretary. The Se with, the York Senators will be evenly divided. The only way the Senate can pro ceed as an organized body will be afer a general confer f all the members to act under the operation of unanimous consent. For instance the Senators will without objection agree that some one of their number shall ealll the party to order, and act until there is com- plete organizat Whoever is thus selected will no doubt also be authorized and impow- ered to administer the senatorial oath to the new Senators from New York. This will pers fect the organization except so far as the election of a President pro tem, and Seore tary are concerned. In the matter of the election of these officers and more especially a President pro tempore, again the wisdom and patriotism of the Sena- tors will be sorely trfed. The body being evenly divided, of course, unless patriotisin does ure vail, an inevitable dead lock will ensue. In view of these circumstances it is not at alll improbabte that there will be a general conces sion to elect Senator Davis, of Hlinois, the Presi- dent pro tempore. He has maintained an inde pendence inthe Senate which keeps him aloof from both parties, and thus neither can claim him. A secretary of the Senate in such contim gency would probably be chosen by one party, and the office of sergeant-at-arms by the other. = = Wall Street To-day.
