THE PRESIDENT'S CONDITION TO-DAY—NOT HOLD- ING HIS OWN—A REPORTED CHANGE IN THE POLICY OF THE PHYSICI! Special Dispatches to Tue EVENING STAR. Love Brancu, N.J., Sept. 16, 1 p.m.—Thereis a good deal of uneasiness at Elberon this morn- ing touching the President’s condition. Last night was a bad one, and the day opens most in- auspiciously. A northeast storm prevails. The atmosphere is muggy and exceedingly damp, ne- cessitating the closing of every window in the President’s room and the keeping of a good- sized wood fire. The morning bulletin is not one to give assurance. The pulse is still high, and at periods last night reached 120. The lung still gives great uneasiness and a good deal more trouble. ‘The President many times throughout the day is racked by a violent cough, broughton in his endeavor to expectorate phlegm. Then,the doctors now concede that the trouble with tne lung is one fraught with the greatest danger. A LOSS OF STRENGTH. © This morging the President is not as strong as he was yesterday morning. In the past 18 hours he has not held his own, but has retro- graded. The high fever which besets him every disturbance by the continued hallucinations. These conditions are apparent throughout the day now, which indicates that the general situ- ation isless hopeful than it has of late been pictured. There is still a eontinuance of the suppuration of the parotid gland. A MOMENT OF EXTREME ANXIETY. On the whole the case may be summed up with the assertion that the present is a moment of extreme anxiety and devoid of sufficient ground for assuming that the patient will over- come the excessive debility, which has estab- lisheditseif. All are hopeful, however, especially Dr. Doynton, who asserts his opinion without hesi- tation that the probabilities are that there is sufficient vitality left to override the | Present unfavorable symptoms; but on the other hand he is unwilling to grant that there is anything to warrant a sanguine opinon to that effect. ALLEGED REAPPEARANCE OF PERSPIRATION. Mr. C. 0. Rockwell, one of the President’s at- tendants, is authority for the statement that the perspiration, which has been one of the annoy- ing features of the President's case, has reap- peared. Colonels Rockwell and Swaim, how- ever, appear to entertain a different opinion on the subject, and declare that it has not reap- peared. The attendants upon thé President say that his quarters are perfectly comfortable, and unless it should become extremely cold no apprehension fs felt about keeping the cottage at a desirable tel rature. In order to do this, however, it may become necessary to place a stove in the room te take the place of the s fire. I reliably ascertained that the Pre: dent’s pulse reached 130 during the night, not- withstanding the fact that the febrile rise was not 80 pronounced as it usually has been. GRAVE APPREHENSION. ELbEnoy, N. J., Sept. 16, 1:10 p. m.—The Pre- sident’s condition at this hour is unchanged. Attorney General MacVeagh considers the case as warranting extreme anxiety, but maintains that while there is no particular point which can be said to have developed to an alarming ex- tent the general condition, which includes the extreme debility of the patient, is necessarily one of grave apprehension. ates oe Settlers Under Arms. THE INDIAN EXCITEMENT IN ARIZONA—ORGAN- day seems to increase rather than diminish. The discharge from the wound is unhealthy, cir- cumscribed and watery. The food which is taken does not assimilate, and all the general conditions are decidedly unfavorable. For the present it has been decided to defer the opera- tion upon the lungs, contemplated yesterday, although the doctors now have the necessary appliances. ROSE-COLORED BULLETINS. From now on the official bulletins will approx- imately state the true condition of the patient's case. This was brought about by Drs. Agnew and Hamilton outvoting Bliss. Tne latter ob- Jected because the President insists upon seeing every bulletin issued, and up to yesterday morn- ing the bulletins all along, it is now conceded, have toa lesser or greater extent been rose-col- ored. There is no denying the fact that the doc- tors now reluctantly admit that the President has made no substantial progress since he was removed from Washington. “He «gain longs tor another change of scene, and at times expresses dissatisfaction with his quarters. It is admitted by Drs. Agnew and Boynton that he has chronic pyemia, and that it may take many weeks to eliminate it from his system. THE ONLY HOPEFUT. ONES. About the only persons at Elberon to-day who talk at all hopefully are Cols. Swaim and Rock- well. They insist that the President is better. Attorney General MacVeagh said just now, to the consternation of several journalists, that a crisis was expected within 48 hours, and that the result was awaited with great anxiety. Dr. Boynton says the President is not doing well at all; that instead of gaining he is losing; that the bed sores are again appearing.and that they are annoying. From all that can be gethered this afternoon the President seems to show the worst of all feared things, “‘despondency.” Dr. Boynton says that while there is danger of further complications he is carrying a heavy load with what he has. Second Dispatch, A Hopeful Word from Col. Rockwell. Lone Brancu, Sept. 16, 1:45 p.m.—Col. Rock- well says the President is not as well as yester- day, but that there is no appreciable change in his condition except that his wound is indolent and not healing, and the discharge is thin and insufficient. He says that his appetite, which was lost, is regained to-day, and his strength perceptibly improved this afternoon. The Morning Bulletin. NO MATERIAL CHANGE IN THE PRESIDENT’S GEN- ERAL CONDITION. By Associated Press. Etneroy, N. J.,Sept. 16.—9 a.m.—{Oficial Bulletin.]—At the examination of the President at 8:30 this morning the temperature was 98.6, pulse 104, respiration 21. The febrile rise dur- IZATIONS OF MINUTE MEN—“THE APACHES MUST GO.” San Francisco, Sept. 16—A dispatch from Tucson, Arizona, says ae Governor Gos- per has secured organizations of minute men on all outlaying camps, and will have sufficient number of arms to supply them. The restive spirit of the Indians of Carlos reservation forebode trouble. It is the general desire to see the business settled now: and inasmuch as the people are well armed, a more auspicious time cannot be open for settlers than now. The set- tlers of the lower San Pedro have organized a company of forty men, officered by experienced Indian fighters. They have sent Agent Tiffany, of the San Carlos agency, word to keep his In- dians on the reservation, and that all found off will be treated as hostiles. This Will doubtless breed trouble, as the agent has given the Indians heretofore their full liberty, and it is doubtful if they will obey any orders in this instance. The San Pedro settlers are determined to cat out their resolution. Col. Price is moving witl two companies of cavalry for the north towards Apache, where he will co-operate with General Carr. Col. Sanford will be ia the same neigh- borhood about the same time. All three of these officers are experienced in Indian warfare. It is the intention of the courts which haye jurisdic- tion of the localities of the massacres and other places where Indian murderg have been commit- ted to indict the guilty Indians so far as their names are known. The sheyiff or mars the case may be, will summon a posse. There will be no difficulty in securing a thousand men to assist in the work. They will probably get | on the reservation and seize the guilty men, and | if necessary resort to such measures-as willsave the expense of a trial. The people are thor- oughly aroused on the question of the removal or extermination of the Apaches. Memorials to Congress will be sent from every settlement in Arizona and New Mexico, asking aid in the matter. There is but one opinion on the point. The Gazette has the following special from Willcox: “Headquarters moved to Grant yes- terday; from thence they will move to Camp Thomas to-day or to-morrow. Some excite- ment prevails among the Indians on the San Carlos reservation. ‘Troops are marching to the front on foot. There are not: sufficient horses to mount all fhe men. Supplies are being for- warded by Col. Hodges as fast as they arrive. The measure of Gen. Willcox in concentrating all his forces in_the vicinity of the hostiles has had the effect of keeping them in the vicinity of Cibien Creek. The hostiles tried to get com- mnunication with the reservation yesterday. Scouting parties have destroyed large quantities of Indian stores. Their atrocities are being confined to Tonto basin and Cibien.” gee European News To-day. THE SPIRIT OP THE SPINNERS AROUSED. Lonpov, Sept. 16.—The secretary of the Man- chester spinners’ association continues to receive returns showing that the spirit of the spinners is roused, and that their determination to thwart the Liverpool cotton corner strengthens ing the night was not as pronounced as it usuallyhas been. There was at times consid- erable acceleration of pulse. He, however, slept Som paras well, and took stimulants nourishment as directed.

GRADUAL FALLING OFF REPORTED—NO NEW COM- PLICATIONS—THE UNHEALTHY APPEARANCE OF THE WOUND—A MOMENT OF EXTREME ANXIETY. Lone Brancu, N.J., Sept. 16, 10:25 a. m.—The President passed a tairly goodnight. During the early part, however, he was considerably troubled with coughing, more so than on the previons night. His general condition while not materially changed is not so favorable this morning. In fact he has made no gain, and ee been a gradual, but not marked fal- o NO NEW COMPLICATIONS.

Gov. PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES. Derrorr, Micu., Sept. 16.—Gov. Jerome has issued a proclamation to the people of the United States appealing for aid for the Michigan sufferers by forest fires.

The number of men, women and | children left without shelter is est ted at 15,000. The benevolence of citizens of the state has responded promptly to the first nece of these afflicted people, but ample time has elapsed and sufficient ' details have been received to make it evident that wider appeal is needed.

Cxicaco, Sept. 16.—An extraordinary diyorce case was begun in the superior court yesterday. Mrs. Elizabeth Falvy asks adivoree from two husbands. In 1868 she married Dennis Falvy at Lynn, Mass., but in 1872 he deserted her. Two years later Edward Hines told her Falvy was dead, and she married him. Subsequently she learned that Falvy was living in Quincy, Mass., and married to another woman. Mrs. Falvy therefore asks to be released from Faly because of violation of the marriage vows, and from es because she could not legally contract a marriage when'she married him. seedilbol om cauadeits Telegraphic Briefs, The increased storage on wheat jn the Canton elevators, Baltimore, will be taken Of to-morrow.
