THE PRESIDENT. National Associated Press. A RESTLESS NIGHT. WasmiNGTON, August 16.—After 3 o'clock this morning the president rested comfortably and seemed en- tirely free from nausea. At that hour ha became a littlo restless. He was awakened thirty minutes later by a sickness of the stomach. After one or two attempts to vomit the nausea passed away without having given rise to any severe irritation. Mrs. Edson was at the bedside at the time and immediately called Dr. Bliss and Dr. Royburn, who were on duty, hut whose presence was not necessary as the nausea was not again noticed. The president then passed an uncom- lorta[;lo half hour but finally fell usleep about 4 o'clock, at which time Dr. Bliss said his pulse had gone back and was firm and satisfactory in char- acter. During the night the tempera- ture and respiration were within nor- mal range and there was nothing ' to indicate that the wc und was not doing well. WHILE THE PRESIDENT WAS AWAKE, between three and four o'cleck, he had a slight but natural passage of the bowels. At daylight Mrs. Edson was relievedibyJ udge Swaim, who took his soat at the president's bedside, then asleep. Dr. Reyburn reclined near by, and Dr. Bliss was asleop in an ad- . joining room. The president’s fam- ily were all asleep at this time, and James Garfield, Jr., had wrapped him- self ina blanket to lay near the door of the sick room. Sineo the shooting *‘young Jim,” ashe is called, has ta- to sleeping wherever fancy may dictate. At six o'clock the doctors were still in theroom. The president had not needed them since thoy were called by Mrs. Edson during the night, All through the early morning workmen, as they passed to theirday's labor, halted before the White Houso and gazed at it, as if its outer appear- ance might convey to them some indi- cation of the condition of its patient. KNOTS OF EARLY RISERS were gathered about the street cor- ners, guessing at the character of the bulletin, There had been last night a strong feeling perceptible through- out the city that the president would not live until morni The news of the comparative improvement of the late hour had however spread and the morning papers added a gleam of hope, so the end was believed to be not yet, and interest centered on the morning bulletin, At 6:30 a. m., a messenger who called on his way to meet Secrctary Lincoln, who was to arrive by the early train, found Mrs, Garficld up and’ dressed. She ap- peared to be cheerful and had just seen the doctors, They could, how- ever, tell her notling more of her hueband’s condition than that his strength appeared to be increasing. This they judged simply from the character of the pulse, whose heats had, however, not hbeen counted. When Private Secretary Brown reachod the White House at 7 a. m., he found the doctors dozing, and General Swain announced that the president was still wsloop. NO FURTHEK INFORMATION could be gleaned during the next hour. Dr. Agnew came down with Attorney-General MacVeagh soon af- ter 7 o'clock, and Drs. Barnes and Woodward followed soon after, To the physicians Dr. Bliss stated, what was not previusly given to the public, that the president had several spells of vomiting early in the night. He then rested better until about 3 o'clock. The nuusea at this time, mentioned in earlier dispatches, did not repulse the vomiting, but the rewching caused him much pain after 8 o'clock, and ater the passage al ready reported an enemata was ad- ministerod. From this time his rest was good, and at the time of the morning examination his pbysicians found him somewhat refreshed. The wound was found to be in excellent condition. The temperature and respiration being normal added to the belief of yesterday that the stomach THE OMaAHA DAlLy BEE. or condition of the wound. The phy- sicians are very conservative in their etpressions this morning. They say the whole matter rests on their ability to strengthen the stomach, and that nothing but time can tell whether that can be done. Meanwhile THE FAMILY AND CABINET are encouraged to hope the difficulty may be successfully met, and the watching will be continuous. Attor- ney General McVeagh takes a gloomy view of the case. He has feared some such complication«as the present, but he foels that there is a favorable change this morning. From the tone of his conversation, however, he seoms to fear that it will not last. Postmaster (General James says he ex- pected an improvement this morning and believes it will continue through- out the day. Othor members of the cabinet say they feel slightly reassur- ed, but still deem the situation very rave. Secretary Blaine has not been eard from. The public are divided in opinion over the morning bulletin, a few consideing it favorable, but the recurrence of the vomiting during the night is generally looked upon asa bad sign, No excitetent in the city this morning. Hopeful people are, however, in the minority, ALL THE CABINET OFFICERS have gone to their duties in the de- partments, but aro to be immediately informed if there i any material change for the worse, - Blaine started for %Vuhingtun on receiving last night's news and is e to reach here to-night. Dr. Hamilton is ex- pectod this afternoon #ecording to his previous arrangements with Dr. Ag- new. 'The departure of Dr. Agnew will depend on to-day’s developments, Secretary Lincoln, who arrived from New York this morning, says that to him the situation scems to be ex- tremely serious at present. Thero was a little improvement this morn- ing, but he says it is *‘very little.” All anxiety turns towards the noon bulletin, and on 1ts indieations hangs tho expectation of the people, If the temperature should be much below the mormal point and the pulse remain high the gravity of the situation would ba decpened. If, on the other hand, the tempera- ture should remain in the normal range or even if it should increase slightly and the pulse still remain high the situation would not be ma- terially changed. A stationary tem- perature and an improvement in the llx_ulnu would be the best indication, hese suggestions are based on a known theory of the physicians. They are very reticent and it is umpossible to get any very definite statement from them as to their views at this critical time, The bulletin may be expected about 1 o'clock. NO NOURISHMENT IN THE NEXT TWENTY- FOUR MOURS, The critical situation has been ex- plained to the president and he has been told that he will be unable to take any nourishment in the ordinary way for the next 24 hours, THAT CABINET MEETING. ‘WasHiNgToN, D. C., August 16.— Shortly after 4 p. m. Attorney-Gen- eral MacVeagh Xruvu up to the White House. Almost immediately after- wards came Secretary Hunt, and by twenty minutes after 4 all of the mem- bers of the cabinet were in the cabi- net chamber with the exception of Secretary Blaine, who had not yet arrived. A little later. the state de- partment was represented by Acting Secrotary Hitt. This circumstance soon became noised abroad and the report was current that the president was dying and the cabinet had been called. The facts n the case are that after' the noon bulletin had been issued Attcrney-General MacVeagh was greatly worried with the gravity of the situation and suggested that at gome time during the afternoon all the cabinet officers get together and ask one of the sur- geons to give them a plain statement of the president’s prospects. It so happened that the meeting was ef. fected soon after the closing of the de- partments. Dr. Bliss sat with them about twenty minutes and so im- pressed them with the belief that the president had a good chance to re- cover that they came out with a re- assurance which was cvident. in their countenances, Mr. MacVeagh, who has been the most gloomy of all to- day, had a smile on his face and as- sured the inquirer that the meeting had no efficial significance whatever. He did not say what might have been the mgnificance had not the surgeons placed the case in 8o favorable alight before them. Dr, Bliss is anything but nervous this afternoon. He un- doubtedly clings to the idea that the trouble with the president’s stomach will yet be surmounted. THE PRESIDENT'S PHYSICIANS do not yield in the least their hope that the cr may yet be passed, Dr, Basil Norris, one of the physicians who was temporarily in attendance in the early days of the case, says that he does not think the case is hopeless, When asked if he thought the presi- dent could pull through he said: “‘He has done 8o much i this direction al- ready tnat wo can hardly doubt any- thing " During all the later hours of the afternoon the feeling of depression that had hun; over the White House all day was somewhat lifted, though the case could not be determined, The reports from the sick-room up to 6 p. m, were that the president was hold- ing his own. No details as to the ir- ritation of the stomach could be learned. The meagreness of the in- formation was not looked upon as very assuring. The anxioty of the populace had again turned toward the evening bulletin, and before 7 o'clock the usual crowd had begun to gather about the White House hul letin hear the latest news. THE IMPRESSION 13 GROWING at the White House that tho crisis is at loast worked off but an early fa tality continues to be the talk of the poople throughout the city. There is an carnest hope that such will not bo the case. The people in the sureot to trouble is'isolated from the progress find 1t hard to shake off the forebod- OMAIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 17, 1881, ings that have gained such groumd. Now and then muttered curses are heard and if Guiteau should happen to be available he would be torn limb from limb, No definite information a8 to when Sooretary Blaine will ar- rive is obtainable. Dr. Hamilton started from Seabright at 4 p. w. It is positively asserted that Vice:Presi- dent Arthur has not been sent for, al- though he is kept constantly informed of the presidents condition. The ru. mor that the president is aflicted with bad sores is utterly with out foundation. Dr. Bliss said, as he entered the White House for the evening examination, that up to the time he left the patient, 5:30 p. m., he was perfectly satistied with the progress of the case to-day. He spoke of the difficulty in the stomach asif it was casily surmounted. He felt better for some reason than lhe did in the early part of the day, but he did not say how far the trouble had been surmounted. “We will fight it out on thia line if it takes all summer," he said. Mrs. Garfield took a short ride this afternoon to take air. She appeared as &lm as ever. Before going out she sat for an hour by the president’s side, and resumed the same position for & while on her return. SYMPATHIES OF THE QUEEN, The following was received here to- day: Loxpvon, August 16,—To Drum- mond: The quecn is sorry for the resident’s relapse, and inquires after him, (Signeq) Ponson. HOW THE EVENING BULLETIN WAS RE- CRIVED, WasHINGTON, August 16,--Sccre- retary Brown's room was literally packed with correspondents and other callers when the bulletin was brought from the doctors’ room this evening. Assistant Secretary Pruden read it aloud and left the company to com- ment on it while copies were being prepared for distribution. Dr. Bliss appeared in their midst and stated that the bulletin was a very conser- vative one and in general indicated an improvement. He said that the afternoon vomiting referred to was caused by drinking a slight excess of water. THE FIRST EXPRE in regard to the bulletins were in recognition of its one favorable fea- tue. The temperature instead of falling to normal, as it had been feared, had gone up a little but’ was still within normal range. The high pulsq under the circumstances was slightly less alarming, though the con- tinued gravity of the situation was undeniable. On all sides were heard murmurs of disappointment. The slight = improvements were &0 indefinite and indicated such slow pro- gress that the impationce of tho wait- ing people was not allayed. The only crumbs of comfort gathered from the evening bulletin was the rise in tem- perature had postponed if not warded off the Jcrisis, while little satisfac- tion was gained from the mere fact that no ground had been lost, On the streets the bulletins caused 'addi- tional foretodings. The crowd that had collected before the White House slowly walked away in silence. ‘‘HE WILL DI BEFORE MORNING' was heard on all sides, but there were a few who still cling to_the hope that the morning will sce him better. At the White House the deepest anxiety prevails, but no immediate danger is apprehended. Tho dozons of places where bulleting were posted about the city this evening were scenes of deep interest. A stranger happening in could not but judge that the presi- dent was dying. At Penusylvania avenue and Fifteenth street, as a large crowd collected, scarcely a voice of hope could be h The general question was not “‘How is he?”’ but “How long do you think he will last?” His death secms to be accepted as a foregone conclusion, A gentle- man of grand physique, addressing those near him_said;: “‘ITam confident the president will recover.” “What makes you think so?” “Well,” con- tinued the speaker, ““Thad a ball in me ten months and a day. Two of my ribs were broken and the ball crossed my back. 1 was reduced from 210 to 118 pounds but here I am well.” But such speeches were not what people wasted. The people clamored for more official bulletins. They did not seem to consider the impracticability of disturbing the president frequently to get accurate information. All that could be learned from the sick room was bulletined by the local presses. Al at the White House grew a little more cheerful s INS could not be hidden. Secretary Blaine had not arrived at 9 p. m. Col. Rockwell was asked at 8:20 p. m. whathe thonght of the president, **Oh, he is better,” was the reply. ““How much better, Col. " ““Well, enough to give me conmder- able encouragement,” Atter the president had gone to slecp thesituation was generally talked over in the cabinet room. Attorney- General MacVeagh came out and was asked what the feeling was, “‘We fell a little hetter, that is, we find ground for hope and we are bound to get all the encouragement we can, The situationis of the gravest concern, No such slight improvement relieves me from fear, but I get what comfort 1 can from the slight improvement.” The same question asked of Post- master General James, he said he was feeling better, He considered the situation grave and more than grave, but there is enough te keep from despondency. Kirkwood, too, seds a ray of light in the fact that the president is no worse to-night, Becretary Windom feels very much better. Lincoln thinks the situation too serious for guess work., He is wait- Brown. He looks more oheeriul hut he is cautious of his statement THE FEATURE OF THE RVENIN has been the meagrenesas of the news from the sick room, The doctors re main in their own room and the nurses do not go back and forth so much, The family and eabinet «me- times set an honr or so without scoing or hearing directly from the dictors After the evening bulletin nothing could be learned from the sick room oxcept that the president had gone to slecp at 9 p. m., and morphin had been administered. In the absence or further information the sujposi- tion was accepted that he grew no worse, TO MINISTER LOWELL. The following was sent this . cn. ing: Lowell, Minister at London: nce noon there has been & «iight rise in temperature. He has vonited but once during the afternoon.

(Signed ) Hiuw, Acting Soc DR, BLISS TALKS, At 10 p. m, Dr. Bliss come through Secretary Brown's room on the way to his carriage. The roporter asked how the president was then. “No worse, He is asleep noy.’ “You feel as confident as two hours ago?!” “‘Yos, and 1 feol a little botter. " ‘‘Has any morphine been adinis- tered this evening?” “None at all.” ““The encmata are retained?” “Yes.” ‘‘How much nourishment i thus administered?” *‘Enough to keep him going his stomach regains its strength, ““Then you feel it will do so?"” “T hope s0.” “You feel encouraged since the last bulletin was issued?” “1 think we all do,” The cabinet all went home soon af- ter 10 o'clock. Mrs. Garfield went to bed before 11 p. m. At that hour the doors were closed. The physicians give assurances that no great dang 18 to be expected and the mansion sumed a normal state, Blaine is not expected till to-morrow.

At 11 p. m. the president was asleep and there has er no further disturbance of the stomach. TUESDAY'S BULLETINS.

Since 3 o'clock this morning he has not vomited and has slept tranquilly most of the time, Nutricious ene- mata are successfully employed to strengthen him altogether.

She said it was a very serious crises but that she had hope that the president would recover. His trouble with the stom- ach in her opinion, has nothing what- ever to do with the condition of the wound, comparatively considered, and she said that the wound is nearly heal- ed. This new trouble she thinks is fully comprehended by all the physi- cians and all have the same ide it. The president also comprehends the situation. He has been told that his stomach demands abso- lute rest, and that no effort wil be made to give him nourishment in the regular way. To- day four nutrntious enemata will be administered to answer the demands of the case but probably nothing un- less water will be put in his stomach. By this the hope s that to-night or to-morrow the stomach may be strong enough to receive something.

DR HAMMOND. H18 OFINION OF THE CASE. New York, August 16,—Dr, Wm, A. Hammond, in an interview with theagent of the National Associated Press, says that the idea that the pres- sident is now suffering from dyspepsia was all bosh. He is suffering simply from pyemia, and has beon cver since the recent chill. He says the vomit- ing and irritation of the stomach was caused solely by the Yn re of the bullet in the body, and adds: ‘“Ihere is now no hope for the president, and 1 give him but three or four days to live. He has not boen given the proper character of food and has been reduced 7H pounds in weight. This treatment has gone so far that I see no chance of recovery. CABLE NEWS.
