" “'M VERY HUNCRY,” Complained President Garfleld to & Physician Yester- day Morning, “And Should Like to Have Some Fruit Before Eat- ing Auything Hlee.” Theraupon a Ripe, Fresh Peach ‘Was Procured, Which He Ate Hagerly. He is Again Placed in the Sus- pension Chair Without Serious Results. At 5:30 P. M,, However, He Was Quite Feverish and Pulse More Frequent. Record at That Hour: Tempera= ture 99-2, Pulse 112, Rese piration 21. National Amociatod Press. Loxa Branch, Sept.! 14, —The of- ficial bulletin was delayed this morn- ing because the president was sound and prolonged till after eight. this morning, and the dressing and exam- ination was delayed on that account. When the president awoke he made the the largest speech yet recorded of him, and the physiciaus quote him as saying: “I'm very hungry and should like to have some fruit before eating any- thing else. I should like a ripe, fresh peach, and think I could greatly en- Jjoy it, if the doctors do not object.” THE PHYSICIANS said they had no objection, and a fine large and luscious'peach was selected and given to him. He took it in his fingers, broke it into two pieces and' ate 1t with great relish. He remark- ed that it was just what he wanted, and left the other haif aside. This is the first fruit in a natural way that the president has eaten since he was shot. The president ¥ELL ASLEEP last night at about 9 o’clock and dozed about an hour and a half, then his sleep became tranquil and deep, and lasted continuously to 1 o'clock this morning. He awoke and asked for a drink of water which was given him. To this was added, after short intervals, some|P’ orridge and a brandyand milk punch, Eoon after taking these he feil into an eau! lh)?, which became profound and lasted without a single awakening spell until 8 o’clock, The doctor says the sleep of the president last night was the most profitable that he has had since July 2d. THE RESULT THIS MORNING was that he awakened fully at once, like a child, with all the faculties alert. Appearances indicate the greatest gain made in any one night since he has been ill, and his appetite is, in point of fact, almost nornml. SECRATARY OF WAR LINCOLN arrived this morning and had an in- terview with the president. The secretary’s visit was purcly informal, and made at the request of the presi- dent. The latter made inquiries re- garding personal matters, but no_personal busmess was discussed, and the secretary remained only afew moments. He says the presi- dent looks and seemed better than expected. The president was changed to the invalid chair shortly after noon to-day, avd when wheeled to the window remarked, “‘Ilike this. It does megood. I think ii should have been done three weeks ago.” 9 A. M, BULLETIN — OFFICIAL, ELperoN, September 14,—At the examination of the president at 8:30 this morning the temperature was 98.4, pulse 100, respiration 19. He passed the night comfortably, sleeping sufficiently. He is bright and cheer- ful this morning, and has taken fruits and his first meat for the day with a relish, (Signed), Buiss, HawmiuroN. The president remained in the in- valid chair one hour and thirty-five | minutes and returned to his bed upon the solicitation of the surgeons and then under protest. Immediately up- on being placed in bed he fell into a sound slumber. His pulsc before re- moval and after retirement was 104, temperaure 90,8, rospiration 19, SIX THIRTY P, M. BULLETIN - OFFICIAL, ELBERON, S 4.--At the exam- ination of the president at noon to- day his temperature was 98 8, pulse 102, respiration 20. At the evening dressing at 5:30 p. m., the tempera- ture was 99.2, pulse 112, respiration 21, The president was placed on the .| invalid chair in a semi-recumbent po- sition at about 12 m., and remained one hour and a half, sleoping part of the time. He was not fatigued by the transfer or change of position. His general condition this evening is as favorable as usual, notwith- standing a slight febrile rise. (Signed) D. W. Buss, Frank Hamiurox, MACVEAGH TO LOWELL, Loxe Braxcn, Sept. 14. - The fol- lowing was sent to-night: Lowell, minister, London: here i an in- crease in the president’s temperature, pulse and respiration, but it is so slight as not necessarily to indicate that the condition of the blood is pro ducing any new complication. The trouble in the right lung is not in- creasing and is causing him less an- noyance. He has tuken adequate nourishment, His slecp has been natural and refreshing, so that if he has gained nothing he has probably lost nothing during the day. (Bigned) MacVEeaou. The high figures in this cvening's bulletin caused considerable alarm, and the people concluded at once there was something more and some new complication had arigen in the case. Drs. Hamilton and Agnew are both present. Rumor had it that during the afternoon the president HAD A DEFRESSION, superinduced by fatigue caused by his long sitting in the invalid chair, and that another operation had been per- formed. By the authority of the sur- geons it is stated that there is no fur- ther complication; that they have no alarm that the president's condition for better is unchanged during the past twenty-eight hours; that NO SURGICAL OPERATIONS are contemplated or needed; that Dr, Agnew's visit was accidental and per- sonal, accompanied by his wife, who was to remain at the Branch for a brief period. Dr. Bliss said this even- ing: “‘There is no cause for alarm at the high pulse, temperature and respira- tion. The president steadily improved all day, and will have a good mght. The rise in pulse, temperature and respiration was cased by the fact that the daily febrile development was in progress when the examinatien was made.” The following is an authorized state- ment of the actual condition ot the patient this evening: “‘The president’s condition to-night is unchanged; perhaps a little better than last night, but certainly is no worse. He is improving steadily, but of course slowly. The specific reason for the rise of pulse and temperature is the febrile rise, which occurs every twenty-four hours since he was shot, and it is liable to come any hour, day or night, and was fully advanced, when the examina- tion was made this evening. Many times during the illness they have been much higher. The fluctuation is temporary.” Dr, Boynton in an interview this evening, agreed perfectly with the surgeons regarding the rise to-night. He said: The presicent’s pulse, temoerature and respiration have been as high as named in this evening's bulletins at least once a day ever since the presi- dent, was shot. The febrile rise to- day was much less than it has often been: - There are no indications of any.new complaint, and to-night the president is comfortable. “‘Is his condition as favorable as Iast might?”’ “Yes, I think it is; fully.” *‘Has he gained since yesterday?” “Well, no. But I think the case has been stationary.” *“Are there any unfavorable com- plications?”’ “No, I think there are none at resent.” ““Has he suffered any relapse or any fatigue from being put into the invali? chair?” $ a$ all. He incomfortallo and I think he will have a good night.” Despite the president being hare the season is about closed. The Ocean Hotel Mansion house and the Howland hotel closed to-day, and the United States, Clarendon, Florence and Jauch’s hotels will close to-mor- row. The West End has nearly 800 people, and the Atlantic 200 guests, and they will remain open until the president’s departure. AMONG THE MANY RUMORS circulated late this afternoon is one to the effect that Dr. Agnew has brought with him a new aspiration, which, it is said, will be inserted to the presi- dent’s right lung for the purpose of drawing from it the pus alleged to be gathered there. The attending sur- geons have already denied the pres- ence of pus, and Dr. Boynton ad- mitted that he does not believe there is either a pus cavity or abscess in either lung; but he still believes in a small pus on the lungs. THE ATTENDING SURGEONS have also asserted that such lung trouble as has existed has passed the crisis and is now disappearing. The president does not cough often, some- times not oftener than once in three hours, and then not violently. The doctors say he no longer any trouble in ejecting the phlegm by ex- pecteration. AT MIDNIGHT everything was quiet at the cottage and the president was asleep, having the prospect of a good night before him, S T T Y Ua warrantable Murder: National Associated Press, Piere Crry, Mo., September 14, — Charles T.

Conflagration at Loomis, I11,~- Wil son Brown Instantly Killed been marked by a great disaster, ro- sulting in the destruction by fire of more than one-half of the entire property of the Kansas City Fair As- sociation. Had not the hour of the fire been that of the great races of the day, thus attracting the thousands of people from the main building to the amphitheatre, there must have been a fearful loss of life. As it was, no one was killed outright, but MANY WERF SBRIOUSLY INJURED by the great rush made to escape the flames which advanced upon the ampitheatre in less than ten minutes after the main hall was fired. The day had been lovely. Thousands of people had come to pay their annual visit to the fair. The wind was blow- ing a atiff breeze from the northwest. The 2:30 race had been called and nearly completed at 3:40 p. m., when a shout of “‘FIre! PIRE!” ran through the assembled thousands.
