A Quiet Night ON ACCOUNT OF THE PRESIDENT’S EXTREME EX- HAUSTION—THE MORNING RIGOR ACCOMPANIED BY VOM'IING. Lone Branca, N. J., Sept. 19.—Dr. Boynton, in conversation with a representative of the Associated Press this morning, sald that the President passed the most quiet night he has experienced since he was shot. “Isn't that extraordinary, doctor,” was asked. “No,” he replied; “the reason for it can be readily accounted tor by the extreme weakness of the patient. He is fearfully weak and debil- itated.” The doctor then expected the occurrence of the rigor. It appears that the chill came on while the morning dressing was in progress, and that the dressing had to be stopped on account of its occurrence. The patient first complained of feeling cold, and almost immediately he was attacked with paroxysms of shaking. During the time the chill prevailed Dr. Bliss says vomiting and severe retching occurred. The rigor was of about twenty minutes dura- tion. After it passed off the patient became comparatively comfortable, and partook of some nourishment, and his pulse fell about three beats to 140. While the chill was on, the pulse was 143 and yery feeble. Preparations for the Worst. ORDERS GIVEN TO THE SOLDIERS—THE TELE- GRAPH TO BE MONOPOLIZED BY THE GOVERN- MENT IN THE EVENT OF IMMEDIATE DANGER— DR. AGNEW DENIES THAT THE RIGOR WAS AC- COMPANIED BY VOMITING. Lone Brancu, N. J., Sept. 19, 11:25 a. m.— The guards about the Francklyn Cottage have been ordered, in the event of the President’s de- mise, to immediately extend their picket lines, and no one will be allowed to approach near his quarters. In the event of immediate danger of the President's dying the government will prob- ably monopolize the only telegraph wire which runs to Elberon, and press dispatches will in that event have to be sent two miles by courier, the office at West End Hotel being the nearest point where direct communication can be ob- tained. This will, of course, necessarily cause great delay. A SUMMARY OF THE SITUATION. In conyersation with a representative of the Associated Press Dr. Bliss briefly summed up the situationas decidedly critical. He said there was no doubt but that the rigors were the re- sult of extended complications in the right lung aided, of course, by the exhausted condition of the President, which has been caused by blood- poisoning. He further said that it was quite possible, should the rigors continue to occur for the next 48 hours, that the President would be carried away in one of them. DR. BOYNTON’S VIEWS. Dr. Boynton expected the patient to rally from the effects of this morning's rigor, but admits that there is cause for the gravest apprehension. He says the chill may continue for some time without serious results, but {t is not possible to make any predictionsas to the course the disease will takenext. It is now agreed by all the at- tending surgeons that the rigors are the results of the lung trouble and the py:emic condition of the patient's blood. AN INTERVIEW WITH DR. AGNEW. The following dialogue occurred between Dr. Agnew and a representative of the Associated Press at 11 o'clock : “Doctor. how is the President at this time?” “Matters look decidedly gloomy.” “Do you apprehend any continuance of these rigors ?” “There is no law governing the matter, and nothing can be said regarding the future.” “Was the rigor of this morning very severe?” “It was not quite so severe as the others ?” “Did vomiting occur ? , hot this morning. Presume, doctor, that the case may be summed up at this hour as being decidedly alarming ?” “Yes, it looks very dark-” NO MATERIAL CHANGE. ELBERON, Sept, 19, 11:40 a.m.—Dr. Bliss says there has been no material change in the Presi- dent’s condition. There is no evidence of repair in the wound and the discharge looks bad. A Reaction at Noon. WHAT DR. BLISS TOLD A REPORTER AT THAT TIME—DANGER OF FURTHER RIGORS. Brancit, Sept. 19, 12:30 p.m.—The fol- lowing dialogue occurred at 12 o'clock between Dr. Bliss and a representative of the Associated Press: Doctor, what is the President’s condition at this hour ?” “He is more comfortable. taken place.” “What are the figures now ?” “The pulse is about 118, and the temperature about normal.” “Will the pulse be likely to decrease still more?” “It is very probable that it will.” “Do you anticipate farther rigors ?” “There is danger of another occurring toward evening.” “Do you know what the respiration is now, doctor?” “It is about 20.” A SIGN OF DECREASING VITALITY. Much anxiety is caused by the fact that the temperature does not rise above the normal range, which indicates that the vitality of the patient is growIng gradually less. Dr. Bliss thinks it probable that the pulse will go down to about 106 between now and evening. All the members of the Cabinet, except Secretaries Blaine and Lincoln, are now here. They came to Elberon about 11 o'clock and are now sitting on the piazza of Attorney General MacVeagh’s cottage. They express themselves as being ex- ceotngly ous about the President’s condi jon. THE PRESIDENT SLEEPING QUIETLY. Epenon, N. J., Sept. 19, 12:30 p. m.—Secre- tary Hunt has just come trom the Francklyn cottage. He says the President is now sleeping quietly and that there is no material change in his condition. The Midday Bulletin. NO MATERIAL CHANGE IN HIS GENERAL CON- DITION. Evseron, N.J., Sept. 19.—12:30 p.m.—The tollowing official bulletin has just been issued: ELBERON, N.J., Sept. 19, 12:30 p.m.—The chill from which the President was suffering at the time the morning bulletin was issued lasted about fifteen minutes and was followed by febrile rise of temperature and sweating. He has slept much of the time, but his general con- dition has not materially changed since. Temperature 98.2, pulse 104, respiration 20. [Signed by Drs. Bliss and Agnew.] _ The Vice President. HE HAS NOT YET BEEN SUMMONED, BUT IS KEPT A reaction has The Vice President Ready. HE HOPES, HOWEVER, THAT THE PRESIDENTS STRONG CONSTITUTION WILL SAVE HIM. New Yorx, Sept. 19.—Vice President Arthur remained in his house this morning receiving but few callers. A reporter called on him but the Vice President declined an interview, send- ing word that he had received nothing but the official bulletins. He has previously stated, however, that he was ready to obey any sum- mons made by the Cabinet, and he hoped that the President’s strong constitution and the care- ful nursing he receives would enable him to soon resume his executive duties. At the Fifth Avenue hotel up to noon the only bulletin re- ceived was that sent at 9 o'clock from Elberon, and many anxious citizens loitered around the hotel in hope of receiving more encouraging news. SECRETARY LINCOLN HAS NO HOPES. Boston, Sept. 19.—Hon. R. T. Lincoln, Secre- tary of War, left Northampton, N. H., for Long Branch this p. m. He has no hopes of the Presi- dent's recovery. What Attorney General MacVeagh Says. THE DOCTORS UNABLE TO DISPEL THE FEELING THAT DEATH 18 IMMINENT. About noon to-day Attorney General Mac- Veagh telegraphed the War department as fol- lows about the President:—‘“Another chill at 10:30, and outsiders look for death at any mo- ment. Doctors try to dispel this feeling. but without avail.” A few minutes later the follow- ing dispatch came also from the Attorney Gen- eral:—"‘ Chill still continues. Pulse now 140, and growing weaker.” Effect of the News. AFEELING OF DESPAIR IN THIS CITY. There is no longer any hope existing in the public mind for the recovery of the President. Even those persons here in Washington who have hitherto maintained a blind faith in a happy issue of this national sorrow, now abandon all hope. The general expectation is that news of the President’s death will be received before many hours. Even should he rally, the impres- sion is that it would only be temporary. The belief is that the remarkable vitality which has so long sustained the suffering President is now exhausted, and that the heroic will-power which grappled with death for so many weeks is now undermined. It is useless to say there is sorrow everywhere. Every heart is grieved. There isa settled gloom over the whole city. All personal interests are, for the time being, forgotten. Business is almost at a stand-still, and the nation awaits, with bated breath, for the sad tidings that are ded as inevitable. The more favorable news contained in last nicht’s bulletin had, to a certain extent, rewived the people's hope; but the news of this morning quickly dissipated it. Dispatches received here this morning from Attorney-General MacVeagh indicate that the Cabinet anticipate the worst. In the departments there was to-day very little done, except to watch forthe latest news. Noth- ing was thought of except the President. AT THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT. Soon after 12 o'clock the following dispatch, from Long Branch, was posted up in the Inte- rior and Post Office departments: “*At 12 o'clock the pulse was 118 and the tem- perature about normal. The reaction had taken place and President was sleeping.” While this dispatch did not inspire hope, it had the effect of creating a feeling that possibly some more favorable turn of the case might occur. The clerks and employés of the departments asarule abapdoned their desks, and gathered in knots to_diseuss the sad news. Many ofthem spent considesable time running to and from the telegraph offices in quest of the latest information. Rumors were fiying in every direction. At one point it would be stated that the President had had three chills, and the doctors had given him up. In another quarter good news would betold slibly. for instance, that the President had rallied and was much better. Many of the government em- ployés were kept busy chasing these rumors. Secretary Kirkwood telegraphed Indian Com- missioner Price that he wonld probably be de- tained at Long Branch tor some days, as the sit- uation was very critical. This would indicate that he does not anticipate a speedy termination of the case. THE EXCITEMENT ABOUT TOWN. There was more excitement in the city to-day in regard to the President’s condition than there has been since he was remoyed from Washing- ton. No work from a practieal standpoint was done in the departments. The clerks congre- gated in crowds around the bulletin places or gathered in knots in the corridors of the public buildings and talked. It was stated at the Treasury department this afternoon about two o’clock that a dispatch had been received, stating that Mrs. Gartield abandoned all hope. This broke the faith of even the most sanguine that the President would recover. The preva- lent feeling seemed to be one that if Mrs. Gar- field, who has been so strong in her faith all along, gave up, then, indeed, there was no chance. As the afternoon wore on the excite- ment, —which was in itselfsubdued,—increased. The crowds began to grow large around the posted bulletins. The general feeling was that the end would come within twenty-four hours. eee Wall Street To-Day.

Lone Brancn, Sept. 19, 1:30 p.m.—Secretary Hunt came from the Francklyn cottage a few minutes ago and reported that the President was comfortable, and had been sleeping. “Does he realize the gravity of the situation ?” was asked. “Yes,” replied the Secretary. ‘He is said to be fully cognizant of his condition.” A gentle- man who just passed the Francklyn cottage saw Mrs. Gartield sitting in the window. In response | to an inquiry regarding her appearance he | said:—“The good lady exhibited a calm and peaceful expression, and the usual expressive smile was visible on her countenance.” A member of the Cabinet stated at 1 o'clock to-day that, notwithstanding rumors to the con- trary,there had been no action taken by the Cab- inet relative to summoning Vice President Ar- thur to Long Branch. Secretary Lincoln is expected to arrive here to-night or to-morrow. Gen. Grant made his customary visit to Elbe- ron this morning. Secretary Blaine was heard from by Secretary Windom this morning, and he is still at Au- gusta, Me. A Diagnosis of the Case AS DICTATED BY DR. BLISS—A COMPLETE SKETCH OF THE CASE FROM A MEDICAL STANDPOINT. _E.peroy, N.J., Sept. 19.—Dr. Bliss this morn- ing dictated the following as the diagnosis of the President’s case: “After he was wounded the limited area of traumatic trouble in the lower portion of the lobe of the right lung was found due to hypeestatic congestion. This was caused by proximity to the inflamed diaphragm per- forated by the bullet, the inflammation being ageravatéd by nearness to the fractured rib. This congestion increased in intensity, though | not in area, owing to the long continued recum- bent position of the patient. There was no difficulty in breathing and no cough at that | time, nor until the parotid troubles. When the latter became aggravated, the pus from the gland found its way into the mouth and the coughing efforts to throw it off being difi- cult and continuous, induced an inflammation | of the mucus membrane of themouth. The pus continuing to cause this cough, the inflamma- tion extended to the throat, then to the larynx, and thence to the bronchial tubes downward. This inflammation naturally extended to the right, because the patient nearly all the time lay on that side, and when it reached the neigh- borhood of the afficted lung it was natur- ally invited. During all this time the septic condition of the blood was doing its work, .and when the lung and bronchial affections at last met they found a deranged and enfeebled system at a very low grade. Still the blood lesions were all repairing at this time. The conjunction of the two inflamma- tions came at the best opportunity for the dis— semination of the combined ies of and there was a spreading of the united troubles. The healing of the lesions was stopped at about this time, and the repairing process was arrested. We do not know yet if the result has been a de- posit of pus in the lungs. _If any pus is now in the right lung, it is not indicated, and the de- posit must have occurred within the past three or four days. The amount would be small. If there was not innutrition the patient would be able to resist the operation of all these causes even yet. But there is innutrition. The healing process is stopped. The blood can- not farnish the constituents of repair, and there * nothing to bufld on nor even to support what vitality is. still L that ‘continually | Trawe apn aad Gintlshed Although the | and despair. | was me __|BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH.
