2 THE DEATH CHAMBER Whispers From the White House of the Nation's Woe. Mrs, Garfleld Endeavors Cheer the President Up. to His Hend Clear and the Situation Evidently Realized. SATURDAY, WasmistoN, August 27, —The night brought no material changes. Two facts are in the president's favor: He was less restless and his mind is clearer. Dr. Boynton remained dur ing the night, and on leaving said “The president is doing fairly well, and we are no more hopeless. There is little change. The swelling is neither better nor worse. The pus is not offensive, I don’t think him en- tirely beyond hope.” i Mis. Garfield passed a restful night and did not go to the sick room until an early hour this morning. When Dr. Bliss administered the enemata early this morning the gen- eral condition of the president had not materially changed. He bore the enemata well, and it was retained. BLISS INTERVIEWED. Later Dr. Bliss was asked regarding the outlook. *“There seems to be no change,” said he. ““How has he slept?” “Pretty well,” “Has the pulse fallen any!” “It has fluctuated considerably. ‘We have not taken it lately.” THE PRESIDENT'S MEAD CLEAR, When Col. Rockwell relieved Dr. Boynton by the bedside, thoe presi- dent was awake. He greeted him and ‘bade Dr. Baynton good-night. Both these gentlemen have remarked that the president’s mind has been per- fectly clear this morning. During the early morning hour he rested quietly, alept longer and there has been but one unfavorable development noticed, the febrility of the pulse. Secretary Brown said: ‘‘The presi- dent is not so well this morning. The pulso is less firm. 1t increases the gravity of the situation.” One of the sick room attendants this morning said that there had never been any conversation with the president as to the probability of his not recovering. Mrs, Garfield’s con- duct does much to keep him from de- spondency. The president’s mind being clear to-day renders it highly probable he understands the situation, e 0 W o Haa given no sign of tho knowledge One who saw him last evening said that he lay on the bed in as comfortas ble a manner as at any time for scv- eral weeks. His partially swathed face did not exhibit extreme pallor, He was turned on his right side. His head was turned to tho left and thrown back, and his emaciated neck exposed to full view. Presently the left hand was slowly raised across his body, rested a moment on the other arm, and almos’ dropped back in place. He said, us he was describing this picture, that the president looked like a man very sick but not like one near death. All the physicians were on hand soon after 8 o'clock this momng. Tha hullatin was. dssued promigitty= The accelerated pulse and ‘respiration and lower temperaturo caused alarm, All seem convinced that the end is drawing quickly nearer and people are bracing for the shock. BLAINE GIVES UP HOPE. The following has been cabled to Lowell, mister at London: The president has had & bad night and has symptoms at this hour which are of the most alarming character. [Signed] Braing, Secretary. The members of the cabinet ¢ame to the ' White House early, cager for the news, and were all together in the cabinet room at 11 o'clock, talking over the situation. The district attorney says that Guiteau has had an idea that the president is dead, and has had for soveral days the cell door closely guarded, in fear that some attempt may beraade to lynch him. '{hn only question heard on the stroots is, "lluw long will it last?” No one seems to have any hope ex- cept a few nearest the president. At 11:80 o’clock Miss Mollio Gar- field came down from Uol. Rockwell's residence, whore she passed the night, looking brighter aud cheerful. She onn-imfher right arm in a sling on account of the painful wound on her hand. She smiled pleasantly to a triend who stood near the door and went on to her mother's room. James Garfield Jr. came up soon after and gave a hearty answer to a grooting of his tutor, Dr. Hawkens, An intimate friend of the fawmily, who had been in the library this morning, said: “I understand that the president has not given up yet, and an ounce of ]\luuk 1 tell you, is worth a pound of luck, Senator Pugh, of Alabama, says: “It is & gone case, 1 guess.” ARTHUR NOT YET SENT FOK, Exgcurive Maxsion, 12;3 The cabinet officers have just gone away. Attorney General MacVeagh says the situation is unchanged. He states positively that the vice presi- dent has not ben sent for, and that it has not been decided to send for him. General James says the same, BLISS INTERVIEWED, As Dr. Bliss was coming to the noon examination he was met by the re- ter of the National Associated 'ress, ““How does the case look now?" he was asked. . 'gure has been very little change.” “‘How long since you saw the pres- identt” 4 -quarters of an hour.” 4l Was pulse then?” ‘It was 110.

Pn]nr-tlon; Il-’n t Resist Armed Lynchers by the Military. National Associated Press, Wasiizaroxn, D. O., August 28— District Attorney Cockhill ~ posi- tively denies the statement that he is aware of the existence of a secret armed organization in the city which has for its object the lynching of Guiteau, Guiteau enquires of the guards for the latest news from the ‘xrunidunt and receives no answers. He is still engaged in writing some of his offusions. They are directed to outside parties in reference to procur- ing bail, while others purport to give an account of the alleged vision that inuf;ired him to shoot the president. The recent episode of Guiteau with the jail guard, McGill, made him bit- ter toward the latter, and noticing him in the corridor a fow nights since he demanded that he be locked up. He then went so far as to address a letter to a person outside, requesting him to procure warrants of informa- tion against McGill. This latter, of course, has not been done. As the condition of the president grows hourly worse, the attention of people is again_ attracted to Giuiteau, Threats of lynching are again heard upon the streets. To prevent the car- rying out of these threats, the author- ities and military have taken the ut- most precautions to guard against such a thing. ¢ Threo picket posts have been estab- lished - one on the road to the jail from the congressional cemetery, one on the brow of the hill overlooking the juil, and ove at the jail door posted within gun-shot of each othe and should any body of men be se approaching the force at the jail could be easily and safely notified. n_addition to this force an extra detail of policemen is stationed at the workhouse a few hundred yards dis- tant, and a series of signals have been arranged, if their presence at tho jnil is required. Theguards at the jail are all provided with sixteen shooting rifles of the latest pattern. That the military authorities think they will be prepared for whatever emergency may present itself, is demonstrated by the fact that to-day Gen. Sherman, Adjt Gen. Mitchell, Gen. Ayres, and several othdr mititity men visited the jail with a view of making obeervations, They selected sites for the placing of troops, should it be necessary to re- pel an attack. The result of the visit was the posting of pickets at the sev- eral points named. The pickets are changed every two hours und men re- lioved from duty at the jail every twenty-four hoursand a new sot order- ed. There are no field pieces atthe jail, The men from the batteries are doing infantry duty. At the jailall is quiet and but two guards on duty. Ring- ing at the door brought out the guard, who recognized the reporter and un- locked the ponderous door, which swung on heavy iron hinges. was as far as the reporter was allowed to enter, however. Ceneral Crocker was found and asked what arrange- ments, if any, had been made to pro- tect the jail in caso of an attack from the l‘u\v((’iuu who were said to bo com- ing here from Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York. ‘“You may say that every prgeau- tion has been made to protect it. Any attack to take him from the authori- ties will result in disaster to the at- tacking party.” “You would firo on them ?" *‘Wo should feel impelled to protect the dignity of the law.” “Tho jail would be reasonably safe from an attack, would it not be 7" ““It would, A few men 1n the jail could successfully resist 10,000 men from without. The walls are three feet thick, and even should they re- sort to battering the jail it would take some time to raze our citadel, I do not anticipate any trouble, but have prepared for it."” Guiteau is as calm and quiet as he has been for some time past. He is confined all to himself, There are soventeen cells, all of which except the one ocoupied by him, are vacant, It is belioved he is in the south wing, pallu e R et The Latest From China.
