Executive Mansion, August 2o, 8:30
a. m. The President slept most of the
night and he has taken liquid food by
the mouth, at stated intervals and a suf
ficient quantity so that the enemata
have not been renewed. No modifica
tion of the parotid swelling has yet
been observed. His general condition
is much the same as at this time yester
day. Pulse 100, temperature 98.5, res
piration 18.

V.vpnntivH Mansion. 9:4;"i a. m. The
attending physicians and Drs. Agneyv
and Hamilton in consultation nem tins
a. m. decided not to remove the Presi
dent from the Executive Mansion. An
official bulletin announcing the fact
will soon be issued.
Executive mansion, 9:15 a. m. The
subject of the removal of the President
from Washington at the present time
was earnestly considered by us last
night and again this morning. After
mature deliberation the conclusion was
arrived at by a majority that it would
not now be prudent, although all agree
that it will be very desirable at the earl
iest time at which his condition may
warrant it. We are moreover unani
mously of the opinion that at no time
since the injury has the President ex
hibited any symptoms of malaria.

this forenoon about the same as yester

a little higher and he was somewhat

did not sleep quite as well as on Tues

DR. BOYNTON A LITTLE BLUE.
Executive Mansion, noon. Dr. Boyn
ton in an interview with a reporter at
11:40 this morning, replied to his ques
tions as follows:
."How is the President, in your judg
ment?" "I don't think lie is any better. "
"But, does he hold his own?"
"Well, I cannot point to any particu
lar symptom and say he is noticeably
worse, but the impression which his
general condition makes upon mo to
day is a little less favorable. I don't
feel quite as encouraged as I did yes
day." "What are the features oi the case
which seem to you most disquieting?"
"The condition of his blood and ex
treme weakness."
"He has not then made any gam in
strength since yesterday morning?"
"I cannot see that he has."
"Does he not take food as well as yes
terday r"
"Yes, quite as well,
seems to maintain the
tion."
"Then, if his stomach
functions properly, and
His stomach
same condi
performs its
nourishment
continues to be well assimilated, will
not his condition of blood change for
the better?"
"It will in time. The poison will be
eliminated from the blood if the pa
tient's strength and vitality holds out.
It is a question of time and endur
ance." "The wound continues to do well,
does it not?"
"Yes, but I do not think the condi
tion of the wound is so important a con
sideration. The President is very weak.
and is yet gaining strength very slow
ly, if at all. ine great question is can
he be sustained through this period of
prostration. If he can, I think he will
eventually rally from the depression
caused by the septic taint in the blood,
and nnally recover."
SHOULD THEY REMOVE HIM OR IS IT TOO
LATE?
Chicago, Aug- 25. A Washington
MS
GRAPH
special says: Doctor Hamilton is as
cribing to himself the glory of having
insisted upon the President's removal?
Your correspondent is awara that Sec
retary Blaine has been from the first
one of the most positive advocates of
the removal of the President from the
malarial region of the White House.
The day after the President was shot
lilaine suggested to the attendant phy
sicians the desirability of rettine be
yond the reach of the malarial influen
ces which surround the Executive Man
sion. - Bliss was one of the most earnest
opponents of Blaine's theory. Bliss
maintained it would be positively dam
aging to attempt to remove the Presi
dent and declared he would not vouch
for the life of the President if the at
tempt to remove him was made. Bliss
and other physicians attending upon
the President have denied that ne was
affected with malaria and during this
period at least half a dozen strong men
about the Executive Mansion have been
attacked anil prostrated by the insid
ious disease. Yesterday he is reported
to have said he thought if the President
was removed ho would not live to pass
beyond the White House gates. The
President himself has been most anx
ious to get away. In his sane moments
during the past week he begged and
pleaded to be taken beyond the walls of
the White House. A feeling of intense
longing to get away from the scenes
which are constantly vivid reminders
of his sufferings has possessed him.
To Ohio he would prefer to go, but
dimly recognizing that his removal to
such a distance is impossible, he has
simply asked to betaken to the Sol
diers Home, or on salt water. It is im
possible to tell to what extent the Pres
ident's being taken from the White
House will effect his chances for recov
ery, but undeniably some of his physi-
uians ueiieve inai unless ne is reraoveu
he has not the ghost of a chance to live.
The very worst malarial season in
Washington is between the loth of
August and the loth of September and
the President is at present wherehe will
be certain to inhale most deadly breath
irom the poisonous rotomac marshes.
DU. BLITS INTERVIEWED.
New York, August 25. The Post's
Washington special says. Dr. Bliss said
to me :
"Youcansav that the consultation
this morning was confined to the mat
ter stated in the bulletin, that is, the
question of removal. All agreed that
it was very desirable, but some thought
that it would be risky. We have al
ways intended to move him justas soon
as we could.
"I asked the Dr. if he had followed
the strict anti-septic treatment called
listerism, that is, the treatment with
dressing impregnated with carbolic
acid to destroy the life in the crernis
floating in the air which would cause
decomposition of the pus and induce
pyaímiar"
"Yes," said he, "we have done that
very carefully from the start. When
we dress the wound we are all envel
oped in carbolic spray. There is a lit
tle apparatus, worked by steam, which
is suspended over the bed above our
heads and at the time of the dressing
our persons, clothes, instruments, the
patient anil everything is enveloped in
this carbolic mist. This we have done
.11.1 n . i n
an aiong ior tne purpose oi securing a
perfect safeguard against any pvamiia
trouDie.
"Do you think he has gained any
strength since yesterday?"
"No, I cannot see that he has, but I
think he is holding his own."
"Is he taking nourishment nicely to
day?" "Quito as well as yesterday. In the
opinion of his attendants and Mrs.
Garfield he seemed a little brighter this
,,iirt , ,i . i
"vvnat is tne condition or the in-
flammed gland?"
"It has not changed much in appear
ance and is one ot the most troublesome
features in the case. We got a little
more pus from it to-day, but the swell
ing remains about the same."
In conclusion Doctor Bliss reiterated
that the condition of the patient was no
worse to-day than yesterday, although
it can't be said that there has been any
improvement.
NO CHANGE SINCE NOON BULLETIN.
Executive Mansion, 4 p. m. Doctor
Reybarn reports at four o'clock that
there has been no change in the Presi
dent's general condition since the 12:30
bulletin. His stomach continues to
perform its functions satisfactorily and
he has taken up to this hour about the
same amount ot nourishment as vester
day. His pulse has fallen a little since
noon and there are no new unfavorable
symptoms.
OFFICIAL BULLETIN
Executive Mansion. 0:20 p. m. There
has been little change in the President's
condition since the noon bulletin was
issued. The frequency of his pulse is
now the same as then. His tempera
ture has risen somewhat, but is not so
high as yesterday evening. There has
been a slight discharge of pus during
the day from the incision in the parotid
swelling, but it is not diminishing in
size. No unfavorable change has been
perceived in the condition of the
wound, lie has taken by mouth a suf
ficient supply of liquid food. At pres
ent his pulse is 112, temperature 99.8,

UNFAVORABLE.
It appears that not only has the
swelling of the gland not decreased in
size, but pus is forming in a number of
places here and there in the gland, and
that complication seems even more se
rious than before the operation. These
and other like considerations, together
with the absence of any positively en
couraging assurances from the sur
geons1 room has checked to-day the
hopeful anticipations which were ex
pressed yesterday afternoon. The sur
geons, however, while conceding the
gravity of the situation, continued to
maintain throughout the afternoon that
the outlook was no worse than yester
day.
TOE WORST PREDICTED.
Executive Mansion. 10 p. m. Al
though no information can vet be ob
tained directly from the attending sur
geons it is understood that the Presi
dent's case has taken an unfavorable
turn this evening and that the swollen
parotid gland throughout which pus is
now forming in small cells or pockets
threatens immediately dangerous con
sequences. Unless a favorable change
takes place within the next twenty-four
hours the worst is apprehended.
BLAINE TO LOWELL.
Wjisliintrtnn. A nor 9.1 Th Prnui-
dent has lost grouncf to-day. Some of
his symptoms this afternoon and even
ing are of the gravest character. The
condition of the swollen gland and of
his pulse and temperature suggest se
rious and alarminsr complications. His
mind at intervals lias been somewhat
clouded and wandering. His strength
fails but he still swallows liquid food of
a nourishing character and apparently
digests it. On this one fact rests hope
that there is still chance of a reaction
for the better.
Executive Mansion, 11:55 p. m. The
prevalant feeling at the Mansion to-day
was one of increased anxiety. Die
symptoms of the President up to six
o'clock was not decidedly worse, nor
had any marked unfavorable change
taken place in his general condition,
but the failure to gain strength from
constantly increasing quantities of
nourishment taken disappointed the
expectations, and the threatening as
pect of the gland swelling was taken as
another reason for discouragement. It
seemed that the general feeling by the
friends of the President, who come here
every day for information, but whose
views ot the case represent the outside
current of thought, was that the pa
tient hail not gained as much as he
ought since Monday morning, and
this was due to imperfect assimilation
anil nutrition enough ot the food taken
daily, they say, to more than sustain
the patient's strength if it were all
turned into blood and vital force. But
it is evidently not, since there has been
no perceptible gain in strength during
the past three days. This, they argue,
indicates septicemia or some other un
favorable influences at work interfering
with the processes of nutrition and
neutralizing to a great extentthe efforts
of the stomach to supply the system
with food. The President, they say,
should be gaining strength now to get
through another Dad Sunday, or meet
another reversion in the shape of new
complications, but instead he is hardly
noiuing nis own, anu ñas no reserve
strength to draw upon in case of ne
cessity. They find also another reason
for discouragement in .behalf of the
parotid swelling. When the incision
was made yesterday afternoon, it was
generally supposed, although perhaps
wiinoui. suiiiciem,;waiTaufc, inaiii wouiu
aflordspeedy, it not immediate relief,
and from that source no further danger
was to be apprehended.
DAY OF ANXIETY.
Washington, Aug. 25. To-day has
been one of much anxiety about the
White House and in the city. The fear
that the President is continually ap
proaching his end is very well defined.
Hope has not disappeared, however,
by any means and there is chance yet
for recovery. The swollen glands cause
continued irritation and pain, it
troubles the President very appreciably.
Will Arthur he Compelled to Act.
Chicago, August 25. A Washington
special says: It is reported that officers
of the Central Pacific have been con
sidering the advisability of a mandamus
to compel Vice President Arthur to ap
point an Auditor of railroad accounts,
on the ground that the bureau is now
without a head, and will be compelled
in consequence to rest under the odium
of the charge to defraud the govern
ment, while they are ready and anxious
to proceed to trials if an Auditor be ap
pointed. Some time ago there was a
stay of proceedings granted on the mo
tion of Assistant U. S . District Attorney
Clark, in the Circuit Court in New York
until thirty days after the appointment
of pn Auditor of Railroad accounts by
the i resident, and extending the time
of taking testimony three months
after the expiration of the stay, thus
making a delay on the motion of the
counsel for four months after the con-
missioner shall be named. The de
fendants, it is said, inteud to make this
application for a mandamus upon the
instructions of Attorney General Mac-
Veagh to Mr. Clark, in which he said
the case must rest as it is until
the rresident is able to appoint a com
missioner, thus especially admitting
the constitutional inability of the Presi
dent. I ho railroad men will claim
that it was upon this representation
that the delay was ordered by the
Court. It appears that the law
creating the office of Auditor of Rail
road Accounts is so constructed that
Section 158, revised statutes intended
to cover such cases docs not apply
here. The section provides that in case
ot a vacancy in a bureau, such as this,
the appointment of the chief of which
is not vested in the head of the depart
ment to which the bureau belongs, the
deputy of such olhcial or chief clerk
shall perform the duties of such officer
until such officer is appointed. The act
creating the ollice of Auditor of Rail
road Accounts does not provide for any
uepuiy or ciiiei eici k, ho in ims case
there is not one, who under the law is
authorized to perform the duties of the
ollice. The gentleman in the ollice now
is simply placed there to keep up the
books, but he has no official status and
no one can do the duties of the Auditor
till the rresident shall appoint some
one to the vacancy. In the meantime
the same act referred to above makes it
mandatory upon the Auditor, who does
not now exist, to examine the books
and accounts of the railroads west,
north and south of the Missouri river to
which have been granted subsidies in
bonds or lands, to certity to their cor
rectness, to see that the law relative to
the land grant roads is obeyed. The
law says the auditor shall do this or
some one he may appoint. No one
else has authority upon language of
this act. it is reported that the Central
Pacific will lay a claim to enforced
hardships in the matter now pending
between them and the Government.
The Atlantic & Pacific and New Or
leans Pacific Railroads also complain.
Vennor Interviewed.
New York, Aug. 25. A Times re
porter intervieweu Vennor, who said,
regarding the statement telegraphed

made to jmt him in charge of our Sig
nal Service Bureau'
"Would I accept?"
"No, sir, I would not; most emphati
cally, I would not, and nothing will
conic of it."
"Has not the telegram some founda
tion?" "Probably it has. Correspondence
touching the matter has reached me
from a high source, but 1 assure you I
have never for a moment given the sub
ject any serious consideration. You
see, my system is so very different from
that ot1 the United States Signal Service
that I should really be out of place in
the position held by Gen. Hazen. But
I wish I had the facilities your officers
have at command. I think I could
make a good record. Your signal force
I see has recently been indulging in
criticisms of me and my system. Not
only are they willing to do me a wrong,
but they seem to have charged that not
half of my forecasts are correct. That
is false; absolutely, maliciously false.
