The febrile rise following continued until 12 midnight, during which time the pulse ranged from 112 to 130. The sweat- ing that followed was quite profuse.

ELBERON, Sept. 19, 9:50 a, m.—The rigor of this morning lasted nearly twenty minutes and | was quite a severe one. The President is re- ported as having slept some since it subsided, but is now awake. He has taken a small quan- tity of nourishment. The frequency of the chills occasions grave anxiety. Dr. Bliss is of opinion that if the | rigors continue for 48 hours the President can- not live, and it is quite possible that he will be carried off in one of the chills. The President's Extreme Weakness. CAUSE FOR GREAT ALARM—HIS PULSE UP TO 143. Exseron, N.J.. Sept. 19, 10:10 a.m.—Dr. Boynton says that during the prevalence of the rigor the President's pulse went up to 143 beats and was very feeble. At this hour it has decreased to about 140 beats, The patient is extremely weak, and there is that the President may die in one of the rigors, should they continue to be frequent. The Situation Decidedly Gloomy. PRESIDENT FAILS TO RALLY FROM THE EFFECTS OF THE RIGOR. ELBERON, Sept. 19, 10:40 a.m.—Dr. Agnew says the situation at this time is decidedly gloomy and could not well be worse. The Pre— sident has not rallied as usual from the effects of the rigor. Much excitement prevails andthe worse fears are entertained, and justly so. Last Night at Elberon. 4 RECURRENCE OF RIGORS WHICH CAUSED GREAT ANXIETY. Until after the issuance of the evening bulletin the President’s condition while showing no progress was not such as to cause renewed alarm. With the exception of the renewed efforts which were employed to keep the tem- perature from falling low the normal range, the day passed without an event of an extra- ordinary character. In about an hour after the evening bulletin was put out the comparatively the patient noted therein was broken. Another rigor lasting paring it with the one of the day before it was light; but, accord- ing to Dr. Bliss, ‘it was severe enough.” The pulse ran up to 140. Dr. Boynton’s View of the Case. ISTS THAT THERE IS AN ABSCESS IN THE LUNGS—THE CAUSE OF THE CHILLS—THE SIT- VATION EXTREMELY CRITICAL. Dr. Boynton was asked last night Vhat is the President’s condition?” “Compared with yesterday there is a slight im- provement. “Do you not think the low pulse and temper- ature of last night aud this morning were fayora- ble indications?” “Ido not. The low pulse and temperature, the sound sleep, and the freetiom from cough and expectoration were indications of a very low state of vitality, and cannot be considered as favorable symptoms. If he grows stronger | there will be a rise in the pulse and temperature and his cough and expectoration will return.” bid Pela do = —_ causes the chills?” “It is possible they are mere}; areflex of President's low state of vitality. but in all ss | ability they are a result of a suppurative process going on in some of his body.” ~~ TE HE he has at times made satisfactory improvement, but in each instance the improvement has been followed by a relapge which left him on a lower plane of vitality than before. This feature of peculiar to most cases of chronic pyemia. The President has a wonderful con- stitution, but it is deubtful if it is sufficient to carry him on to recovery.” Dr. Bliss HE THINKS THE RECURRENCE OF CHILLS DUE TO THE PRESIDENTS ENFEEBLED CONDITION. During an interview last night Dr. Bliss said, in response to the interrogatories of a number of representatives of the press, that the chill which oceurred last evening was of about ten minutes duration, and was what might be called “quite a chill.” The President was suffering considerably from its effects, that no vomiting oceurred, and that the patient experienced a re- action immediately after the rigor subsided by the appearance of a fever. At the time of the interview (9:30 p.m.) the pulse was about 120 and had been higher. When asked the cause of the recurrence of the rigors, the doctor said: “It may be due to local causes, but if so they are not manifested, I think that the recurrence is due tothe enfeebled condition of the patient. The depraved condition of the fluids, together with the local sores, are sufficient to produce chills if he is not repairing, and it is evident that he has not repaired any during the past twenty- four hours, but has merely held his own.” The doctor said the President was cheerful and bright during the afternoon; that, with the exception of a milk puneh about twenty min- utes previous to the chill,no food had been given him: that two and a-half ounces of de- fibrinated beef blood had been administered by enema during the morning, and about three ounces more would be administered during the night; that it was not probable another chill would occur during the night; that the dullness of the lung had not extended; that the cough- ing had been very slight, and was mentioned by Mrs. Garfield as having been less than Saturday; that no repair of the wound had occurred for three or four days and no healthy granulations were visible. PARNELL’S MESSAGE TO MRS. GARFIELD. The following cablegram has been received: To Mrs. Garfield, Long Branch: The delegates assembled in the national convention of Ireland charge me to convey to you their deepest sympathy, and their hope that the life of the President may be spared to you and his country. {Signed]— -ARNELL, Dublin. The Official Record. THE STORY TOLD BY THE BULLETINS. The following are the bulletins issued Satur- day evening and yesterday: “ SEPTEMBER 17, 6 p.M.—At the examination of the President at 12 m. to-day the temperature was 102, pulse 120, respiration 24. At 11:30 o'clock a.m. he had a severe chill, lasting half an hour, followed by perspiration. Since the noon examination there has been a gradual fallof temperature with diminished frequency of pulse and respiration, so that at the evening examination the temperature was 98, pulse 102, respiration 18. He has slept most of the time during the afternoon and has taken his nourish- ment at proper intervals. The cough has been less frequent than usual.” Exseron, N. J., Sept. 18.—[Official Bulletin]. At the examination of the President at 8:30 this a.m. the temperature was 98, pulse 102, respiration 18. There was no perceptible febrile rise during the night—the pulse ranging from 102 to 112. The cough was less troublesome than on previous nights, and the expectoration unchanged. He 1s able to take nourishment and stimulants required without gastric dis- turbance, nor has there been evidence of mental aberration during the night. ELBER J. Sept. 18, 6 p. m.—The Presi- although quite weak, has passed a very quiet day. There has been no recur- rence of chill nor mental disturbance. At 9 a. m. a slight febrile rise took place and began to subside at 11 o’clock, at which time the temperature was 100, pulse 116, respira- tion 20. There has been no increase of cough or change in the character of the expectoration. At the evening examination, 5:30 p.m.. the temperature was 98.4, pulse 102, respiration 20. THE LOWELL DISPATCH. Attorney General MacVeagh sent the following to Minister Lowell at London, last night: “The President passed a comparatively quiet and comfortable day, but this evening he had another chill, of less duration than that of yes- terday, but sufficient to increase the very great anxiety already existing. He has also been slowly growing weaker, and his present condition excites the gravest apprehensions.” “A Fearful Fight.” BUT DR. BLISS SAYS THEY WILL STURGGLE TO THE END. Another dispatch from Alberon says that Dr. Bliss was asked: “Is the President any worse than last night?” “No worse and no better. There is no swell- ing of the gland, but the process of healing has stopped. There was no hallucination during the febrile rise to-day. He does not seem to get enough nourishment into his system té keep u the work of repair. He is suffering from inani- tion. He has mild sweats after each rigor. The prospects are that he will have no more disturbances to-night, and that the fever will subside at midnight and his pulse range from 106 to 108. He looks upon the case himself as grave and watches it closely. This has been a fearful fight. My God! you know nothing about it outside. There is this to say about it, however: The experience and skill of a lifetime has been put into these past twelve weeks. The President has a chance, and we are going to fight for that chance to the end. He is gloomy just now, but no patient of mine has ever yet been buried until he was dead.” THE CABINET. Last night, after the excitement incident to the report of the rigor had somewhat subsided, Attorney General MacVeagh Seeramet to the West End requesting the members of Cabinet to come at once to Etberon. Secretaries Kirk- wood, Windom, Hunt, Postmaster General James, and First Assistant Secretary Hitt. of the State a pobre were immediately driven to Mr. MacVeagh’s cottage. They ference some time, and Dr. si ss came and we his opinion of the President’s condition, the substance of which was that. the rigors if not controlled, would speedily exhaust vie tality of the patient, and he would succumb to his enfeebled condition. Secretary Blaine, who is at Anes, telegraphed yesterday that he was himself unwell, and asked to be kept hourly advised, that he may leave when necessary. Secretary Lincoln is expected at Long Branch to-night from Rye Beach, and Mr. Blaine will probably accompany him. so tee PersonaL.—Mr. John Markriter has returned from the Red Springs, Va.,much improved in health.—Mr. Edward Drew has returned from the north.—Mr. W.

Unless the chills can be controlled there is but little hope held out by the doctors. Dr. Boynton has just said, ‘‘ While the case is not hopeless, I have no hope that the President can recover.” Much excitement prevails here. All the doctors in the case are despondent. Third Dispatch. DR. AGNEW REGARDS THE SITUATION AS EX- TREMELY CRITICAL. Loxe Brancu, N.J., Sept. 19, 11:50 a.m.—Dr. Bliss says if the chills continue the President cannot live forty-eight hours. Dr. Agnew told Editor Pulitzer, of St. Louis, that he regarded the case as extremely critical. While he did not think the President would die to-day, he could not last more than two daysunless the chills can be controlled. At ten o’clock the pulse was up to 143, THE MIDDAY Fourth Dispatch. Gloomy Scenes at Eiberon. APPEARANCE OF DREADED SYMPTOMS—DR. BOYN- TON PECTS A TEMPORARY RALLY—‘ THE BEGINNING OF THE END.” Lone Brancu, N.J., Sept. 19, 12 m.—Early risers here were gladdened this morning by the statement from Attorney General MacVeagh that the President had a very comfortable night, and that the bulletin would be full of encourage- ment; but while the doctors were preparing the bulletin they were suddenly called to attend their patient, who was found suffering with a severe chill, which lasted fifteen minutes, and was followed by a profuse perspiration. APPEARANCE OF DREADBD SYMPTOMS. The doctors were at once stampeded. for the President’s breath grew sweet and all the last stages of life seemed to develop. They were for alongtime after the rigor unable to dress the wound, the patient was so weak. At 11 o'clock Attorney General MacVeagh said that he was resting quietly and was in a gentle perspiration, with pulse down to 136. He has said ina card toa friend since then: ‘The President grows weaker. We are more anxious.” i DR. BOYNTON EXPECTS A TEMPORARY RALLY. Dr. Boynton says he will be apt to rally from this chill, but there is very little ground for hope of his recovery. Dr. Bliss says that the doctors agree that the original trouble is the wound; the consequent trouble blood poisoning, which caused pus formations on the lungs. “THE BEGINNING OF THE END.” His rigors, they say, proceed from his debili- tated system. Dr. Agnew says that when they opened the abscess in the parotid gland he felt that the beginning of the end had come. He is reticent, but it can be noticed by his manner that he has nohope. The surroundings at Elbe- ron are dismal enough; sorrow sits in every face and people talk low and walk slowly as in the presence of death. Each word from the sick room is eagerly caught up, and the gloom deepens as time progresses. Fifth Dispatch. Fears of Embolism. DR.BOYNTON THINKS THERE 18 DANGER OF sUD- DEN DEATH—THE PRESIDENT FULLY AWARE OF HIB CONDITION. Lone Brancu, N. J., Sept. 19.—12:05 p.m.— Dr. Boynton says while he does not anticipate immediate death fhat the President is now in such condition, that embolism may come on at any moment and carry him off. This is the clotting up of the blood in the veins and arte- Ties. The usual nourishment of beef blood by enemata was given the patient a few minutes ago. The President, those who were near him say, is fully alive to the perils of his case this morping. The sweet one of the well- defined symptoms of pyemia, was discovered. Sixth Dispatel, A Recurrence of Chil Dreaded. DR. AGNEW EXPECTS THE PRESIDENT WILL BE UNCONSCIOUS MANY HOUB® BEFORE DEATH— MEMBERS OF THE CABINET BSSHEARTENED. Lox@ Branca, N. J., Sept, 19, 12:10 p. m.— The President is resting somewhat easier now. The recurrence of the chills ig dreaded to-night. While the doctors think thatthePresident will not go off suddenly, Dr. Bliss gays he may be so re- duced by any of the chillssoas.¢o make it ‘imposai blefor him to rally. Dr. Agnewthinksthat before the end approaches he will ge. into a comatose state, In which he will remain many hours before death. Attorney General MoVeagh has taken, under the law, possession of the telegraph wire at Elberon.. The Cabinet are all here, except Secretaries Blaine and Lincoln, The others are now at Elberon, thoroughly discouraged and disheartened. Seventh Dispatch. THE DOCTORS ASTONISHED AT THE PRESIDENT’S VITALITY. « Lone Brana, N. J., Sept. 19, 12:20 p.m.—Dr. Bliss says that the manner in which the Presi- dent rallied from the morning chill gstonished the doctors. After the wound had been dressed he asked for a hand glass,and after looking him. self pver, said: ‘I can’t undefstand why I should 1 50 weak when I feel 0 wel] andlook so well.” DR. AGNEW DOES NOT EXPECT DEATH TO-DAY. Lone Brancu, N. J., Sept. 19, 12:30 p. m.— Doctor Agnew was asked ten minutes ago if he expected that the present complications of the case would carry the President off to-day. He said: ‘Oh, no; Oh, no. He may last three days. He may last ten. Again the paroxysm of some of the chills may be too much for him.” The weight of opinion here is that the President will not survive over Wednesday, if he lives until then. By Associated Press. . A Quiet Night. ON ACCOUNT OF THE PRESIDENTS EXTREME EX- HAUSTION—THE MORNING RIGOR ACCOMPANIED BY VOMITING. Lone Brancu, N. J., Sept. 19.—Dr. Boynton, in conversation with a representative of the Associated Press this morning, said 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 ft 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 very 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 conversation 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 it is not possible to i make any predictionsas to the coursethe 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 pyemic 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?” “No, not this morning.” “I 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. Lone Braxcu, 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 now?” “The pulse is about 118, and the temperature about normal.” “Will the pulse be likely to decrease still more?” “Tt is very probable that it will.” “Do you anticipate further rigors?” “There is danger of another occurring toward evening.” “Do you know what the respiration is now, doctor?” “Tt 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 Biaine and Lincoln, are now here. They came to Elberon about 11 o'clock and are now sitting on the plazza of Attorney General MacVeagh's cottage. ress themselves as bel ro ceedingiy pus about ths papties ion.

A reporter called on him but the Vice President declined an interview > ing word that he had received nothing but the official bulletins. He has previously stated, however, that he was nr mons made by the Cabine the President's strong constitution and the care- ful nursing he receiv 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 en€uraging news. What Attorney General MacVeagh Says. THE DOCTORS UNABLE TO DISPEL THE FEELING THAT DEATH IS IMME T. About noon to-day Attorney General Veagh telegraphed the War department as fol- lows about the President:—“Another chill at 0:30, and outsiders look for death at any mo- ment. Doctors try to dispel this feeling, but without avail.” A’few minutes later the ing dispatch came also from the Attorney G 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 low- now exhausted, and that the heroic will-power which grappled with death for so many week: now underinined. It is useless to say the sorrow everywhere. Every heart is grie There isa settled gloom over the whole ci All personal interests for the time being, | forgotten. Business t at a stand-still, and the nation awaits, with bated breath, for the sad tidings that are regarded as inevitable. The more favorable news contained in last night bulletin had, to a certain extent. revived the people’ ; but the news of this morni: quickly dissipated it. Dispatches received here this morning from Attorney eral MacVeagh | indicate that the Cabinet anticipate the worst.
