His Stomach Gives Him Con. giderable Trouble. He is Beized With Vomiting Spells Which Continue at Intervals, His Case Now Regarded as Very Oritical. Reports Up to Midnight Show a Slight Improvement. Othexr Interesting Items From the Capital. THE PRESIDENT. National Associated P'ress ANXIETY AT THE WHITE HOUSE, WasniNgToN, August 15.—The morning bulletin of the president’s condition has caunsed a general feeling of excitement throughout the cit though the feeling at] the White House is one of anxiety. 1t is fraught with hopes that the irritation of the stomach will prove not to have such serious results as have been feared. Dr. Bliss says to-day that the first symptoms of yesterday's nausea and vomiting, it was thought, would soon disappear, and it was deemed un- necessary to alarm any one by talking. About midnight the president was wveported as asleep, and there were no unfavorable symptoms. This seems to have been correct, in so far as that moment con- tinued, but the vomiting began again soon after, and gontinued at intervals until 3 a. m. The three orfour hours rest he then had was without disturb- ance, and it was hoped that the worst was passed, but he vomited again be- fore the morning examination was made. The wound was found doing well, and the physicians say that the high figures are due entirely to irri tion of the stomach, and that the irri tation was cansed by the effect of some food which the stomach too weak to digest. His stom: is naturally weak from dyspepsia It is impossible to trace the cause to any particular class of mnourish- ment. Dr. Agnew says the irritation might have been caused in many dit- ferent ways. After 9 oclock this morning the irritation subsided and at 10:20 o'clock the physicians were about to give him some nourishment. The effect of this trial has not been announced. Drs. Barnes and Wood- ward have gone home and Drs. Agnew, Bliss and Reyburn are now with the patient. oy ifave been inaccessible to the press as yet to- day. The president’s family have been assured that there is no cause for alarm. At 10:20 he took about one and a half ounces of milk, an ounce of whisky and some beef ex- tract,. Some quinine was also admin- istered. The nourishment was re- tained in the stomach and the physi- cians were encouraged. Their anxioty to check the irritation will save serious alarm, but if the hiting should con- tinue too long the case will assume a sorious aspect, THE RUMOR DENIED, A rumor has just been reported here that the physicians attribute the condition of the president’s stom: to some action of the bullet, Sec tary Brown was authorized by the physicians to deny it. Thoy say the president’s dyspepsia is the founda- tion of the trouble, and the sole foundation. Another rumor is that the ball is to be taken out to-day. This is false, as all who are at the white house testify. They say it would be folly to perform an opera- tion on the prestdent in the debili- tated condition he is in. Since the vomiting at 12 o’clock the president is reported no worse, and 1t is said that he is aslecp, NO SEARCH TO BE MADE FOR THE BALL, WASAINGTON, August I5,—There was a rumor to-day that another ope- ration was contemplated, from the fact that Prof. Taintor, assistant to Prof. Bell, visited the White House. This was construed as an indication of a preparation fer an operation and that the professor's presence in the White House was for the sole purpose of nasisting the surgeons to locate the bullet by the use of the induction balance. Prof, Taintor's call was merely to inform Dr. Woodward of a telegram from Prof, Bell desiring to know the progress he was making in his experiments. 1t]is authoritatively stated this afternoon that mothing like an operation upon the president is now contemplated in the present wenkened condition of the pationt let alone the absence of anyreason for an ulpem!iun should be enough to show this, At 1;45 this afternoon tho presi- dent’s pulse had fallen to 112, a de- crease of six pulsations in two hours, It continues to fall and thus far there has been no recurrenes of vomiting, and at 2:45 the physicians began to feel renewed encouragement. CONSIDERABLE EXCITEMENT, There has been more excitement in' the city to-day than at any time since the first week of the shooting of the president, and all from the effect of the announcement in the morning bulletin that the president had been vomiting during the night. The idea that one in the president’s weak con- dition could stand such a strain and exertion was not for a moment enter- tained, The figures showed what ‘effect it had npon him. Tke general improvement of the last day or two has alinost been effacad by the effoct of this mew trouble. Those who had watched the case closcly saw at once that the trouble was no new one. They remembered that the president’s only an oyance in usual health was dyspepsia, This | OMAHA. TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 16, 1881, he contracted in the army and it has oxisted more or less ever since, The physicians in this case had often spoke of it as one of the weak points of the ease, They had tried to exer cise care in the food given him. Sue- cess has heretofore boen satisfactory To-day they were unable to trace the direct cause of the irritation of the stomach. They kept aloof from the press. Col. Corbin came from the doctors room at 10:30, He was asked “has the irritation subsided?” “Protty mich” was the reply and that was the most satisfactory info:- mation received until it was reported that the president had been able to retain the nourishment last given. The noon temperature and respiration were not unsatisfactory but the Ynlm- at 118 was most alarming. The physi- cians insisted that the rise was due to excessive weakness resulting from stomach disturbanee, THE IRRITATION OF THE STOMACH was allayed by small doses of sub ni- trate of bismuth and held in check as the day preceeded. The president could not be given nourishment, but he had no further trouble up to 3 p. m., at which time his pulse had sub- sided to 110, and all began to take heart again, Dr. Agnew told Mrs. Garfield that there was no cause for alarm. This was when the irritation had subsided. The case will be watched more carefully than ever now, for a recurrence of the vomit- ing would have a dangerous effect on the president’s present weak condi- tion, There were more callers during the day than usual, among them ex- minster Hilliars, of Bra- zil, and Minister Langston. of Hayti. The latter brought a mes- sage of sympathy and hope to Mrs. sarfield from the president of Hayti. The improvements of the president's stomach trouble during the early part of the afternoon was too short lived. Before 4 p. m. there was a recurrence of the nauseau. It came when the president undertook to swallow a lit- tle beef extracts The first vomiting was 8o slight that it was hoped it would not prove scrious. At that time his pulse was 110, but was so perceptibly quickened that much alarm was caused. Two more vomit- ing spells followed, and at the time of the evening dressing there was a pretty bad state of affaivs. His was 130 and was in itself an ing circumstance. The presi- dent’s stomach had evidently eone back on him. The temperature being still at.a comparatively low figure was an unmistakable evidence that the wound was doing well. This was ad- mitted by all who were acquainted with the details of the case. The marked effect of the vomiting on the pulse shows conclusively that unless this irrvitation is stopped the most dangerous results must be expected. To stop this the physicians have de- cided to give the stomach a complete rest. WILL NOT GIVE UP HOPE. Nourishment is now. administered hypodermically, and the only hope seems to be that by a complete rest the stomach may recuperate. The physicians do not give up yet. At this writing, 7:30 p. m., Dr. Hamil- ton has not been sent for, and mes- sengers have noj been sent to either Vice President Arthur or Secretary Blaine. In other words, the physi- cians have not given up hope and are making everyendeavor togain ground All at the White House are very anx- ious., Alarm has not seized any of the family, for the physicians say that’ all wmay yet be well. Hence, all are watching and waiting. Dr Agnew has received word that Dr, Hamilton will be here to-morrow afternoon and says he will then probably go home unless worse comes to worse. At 8:30 Postmaster- General James came from the doctor's rooms. He was asked how it was, and said “No ono is there but Drs. Woodward and Reyburn. Dra. Agnew and Bliss have gone out for a short while.” “Do they give it up general?”’ “‘No, indeed, it looks bad but there isa good chance yet.” Attorney-General McVeagh said: ‘Of eourse we are very anxious about the pulse but we have heard nothing since the bulletin.” He also says that neither the vice-president or Secretary Blaine have been sent for. The president has had milk and ex- tract of beef administéred by injec- tion and no furthe= disturbance of the stomach has been reported since the bulletin, MESSAGES SENT, The following dispatches wero sent at 8:30 p. m, Lowell, minister, president’s condition is less satistac- tory.

M Garfield went to lie down a few nin utes ago. Sho remains a8 cheoriul and hopeful as ever. Dr. Bliss is the only one of the physi seen out side of the sick room to-night. 1o reasserts that the present troublc is entirely due to the weakiess of the stomach and is not at all sympathotic with the wound, Ho says the stomach will be given ali| possible rest and they hope for i | provement to-morrow. He says the| physicians all recognize the gravity of the situation, but they feel as if ticre was a way out ot it, TIE MEMBERS OF THE CABINK! remained at the White Houso until o'clock.

Secretary Hunt scoms very much atfected at the unfortunate turn of affairs but thinks the jresi- dent will yet pull through. Secretary Windom says: ‘It looks very grave, but the morning uay chango it."” Secretary Kirkwood says: “‘I shall kfl\p heart until the doctors give it up.” Postmaster General confidence. He aays: boys he is alive yet.” ATTORNEY-GENERAL MACVEAGI foels the bluest of all. He says the situation is one of the deepest gravity but thinks there is a chance that to- morrow may bring a change for the better. Assistant Secretary Hitt, un- der the circumstances, is feeling nor- vous with the state department on | his shoulders, and deemed it advisa- ble to inform Secretary Blaine of the unfavorable change, that he midht, if decmed best, return to Washing ton. A mossage to that effect sent at 10:30 p. m. Vice President | Arthur has not been sent for. At | half-past eleven the White House was deserted again and the city is quiot except half a dozen slecploss ones who hung about the gate lead- ing to the grounds talking with the officers in charge. The doctors had all gone home with the exeeption of Bliss and Reyburn, The jpresi-| dent’s family wero told that thero| was no cause for further alarm to night. They therefore retired. Dr. Bliss laid down on the bed in the sur geons' roum and Reyburn remained near him. Gen, Swain was with the president at that hour. He slept comfortably after 10 p. m., and when Secretary Brown wont to James s “I tell you | s | the door at 12 o'clock he was still asleep and breathing mnormally and with no indications of further disturbance. Secretary Brown had the mansion closed after 12 o'clock and went home, first making arrange- ments to be called in case of ansthing happening, The general feeling is that he has undoubtedly improving sinco early evening but there is still anxiety for the morning. ANOTHER LETTER FROM DR, AGNEW. PHILADELPHIA, August 15.—Dr. Agnew, in a second public letter in relation to an interview recently pub- lished in The Philadelphia Times and attributéd to him, says: ‘“The criti- cism to which the president’s medical and surgical attendants have been subjected does not disturb their equa- nimity in the least.

HER PATIENT FORTITUDE, NEw York, Aug, 15.—A spocial dispatch trom Washington sont by the correspondent of the Naticnal Asso- ciatod pross, upon official informa- tion furnished by the prosident’s fam- ily physician, make an announcement n? a fact which must groatly intensify public interest in the president’s case and add to the sorrowful features of it if the executive snould yet prove a victim to tho assassin. The news re- lates to the condition of Mrs, Garfield, This lady, as tho public already knows, has been veryill over since her advent to the white house. Hor sickness dates from inauguration day. At the time the president was shot Mrs- Garfield’s condition was so eriti- cal that the physicians who attended her at Long Branch all but despaired of her recovery. After her recall to Washington by Guiteau's crime the heroic character of the lady being so strongly appealed to assorted itself from that time she has apparently been beettor. Tt is now announced | that it is expected that in November next Mes, Garfield will again become a mother. Murs. Garfield was married to the president in her 23rd year and in hig 27th. She is now in her 46th year. When it is stated that Mrs, Garfield’s case was misunderstood up to the time of the attempted assassin- ation and that on t that time was its real nature made known to ler and the president, the special enor- mity of Guiteau's act hecomes appar- ent. The present announcement will y with it to the American people & new idea of the pationt heroism which has inspired the noble fortitude of the illustrious sufferer at the White House and that of his devoted wife during the long and many weeks of their unparalicled trial. MISCELLANEOUS., THE MURDERERS OF SPOTTED TAIL. WaASHINGT August 16. — The war department has issued instruc- tions I to General Crook,§ com- manding the department of the Platte, to _hold Orow Dog, who killed Spat- ted Tail, and Black Crow, as an ac- cessory to the murder, for action by the civil authori Secretary Lin- coln will not return until the last of next week. Agent Cook’s report from Rosebud agency as to the murder of Spotted Tail says that Black Crow makes no secret of his long-time intention to put him out of the way. The Indian department agrees with the agent in the belief that now that their leader is gone the disaffected clement will quiet down, The department will probably adopt tho sugzestion not to appoint & successor to Spotted Tail, desiring rather that his son, young Spotted Tail, bo recognized as~ chief only of his immediate band. That any time any representative of the tribe shall bo desired at Washington for conferring about the interests of this veople he shall be choson with especial reference to his inte and loyalty to the government.
