RESTLESSNESS.
Executive Mansion, G:15 a. m. The
physicians and attendants can't yet be
seen, but from the best information ob
tainable at this hour it is believed there
has been no decided change for the
better since midnight. The President's
sleep during the night was frequently
interrupted by intervals of restlessness.
Executive Mansion, 7 a. m. Dr. Rey
burn says this morning that there is no
material change in the condition of the
President has occurred during the
night. He observes no diminution of
strength, and no increase in the fre
quence of pulse, which this morning is
about 110. An increased discharge of
pus from the parotid swelling took
place during the night.
OFFICIAL BULLETIN.
Executive Mansion, 8:30 a. ni. The
President slept most of the night,
awakening at intervals of half an hour
to an hour. On the first awakening
there was, as there has been for several
nights past, some mental confusion,
which disappeared when he was fully
aroused, and occasionally he muttered
in his sleep. These symptoms hare
abateil this morning, as on previous
days. At present his temperature is
slightly above the normal and his pulse
a little more frequent than yesterday
morning. Pulse 108, temperature 1)9.1,
respiration 17.

"god only knows."
Execiujufre Mansion, 10 a. m. But
very little information was obtained di
rect from the doctors concerning the
President this morning, prior to the is
suance of the morning bulletin. The
absence of all reference in the bulletin
to the general condition of the Presi
dent's parotid swelling, was at once no
ticed and commenteu upon by those
watching for it. The situation is con
sidered by many as less hopeful than it
was last night at miclnight, and by oth
ers as moi-e so. Attorney General M ac
Veagh pronounces it extremely critical
and when asked this morning now long
he thought this suspense would contin
ue, replied: "God only knows."
Postmaster General James and Sec
retary Hunt tolegraphed to Thurlow
Weed that a gleam ot hope at 10 a. m.
comes from the surgeons. His symp
toms are no worse and improvement is
not impossible.
Dr. Bliss came out of tho surgeon's
room about 9:30 this morning to tele
graph his wife that the President was a
little better than last night.
In reply to interrogations, he said the
President's pulse this morning was less
frequent and that the parotiu swelling
had broken into the right ear and was
discharging through that orifice. The
patients mind was clearer, and he con
versed rationally with the surgeons
about the condition of the inllammed
gland. He partook of food, which
seemed to be grateful to him, and his
ñeneral condition shows him to be a lit
e improved. The doctor expressed
himself as hopeful, that the inflammed
gland would be relieved by discharge
through the ear and that he would pull
through the day without much material
change.
The throat is kept open by rarclinír.
which causes considerable expenditure
of force. The physicians still cling to
the hope that his strength will continue
sufficient to carry him through. The
softening of the gland lessens the ten
sion of the skin on the patients face and
relieves mm somewhat trom pain.

Kirkwood came out of the Cabinet
room a few moments since, and in re
ply to questions gave the following
statement of the President's case as he

"I have never thought, fíe said, until

littlo room for hope. Tho danger which
then seemed most imminent was the

which lííy on the reporter's table, tlie
."secretary continued:
"As I understand the case from what
the doctors have told me . the Presi
dent s right gland sm some respects
like this sponge. All through it there
are little cells or pockets, in each of
which there is an accumulation of pus.
The incision made day before yesterday
I pierced one of these pockets and re
leased the pus which that particular
one contained, but it did not drain the
others. In fact the others could not
be effectually drained at this
stage of suppuration by a single incis
ion made anywhere. The fear last
night was that the pus retained in these
small cavities would be soon unhealthy,
as I before said, in acute blood poison
ing. Doctor Bliss told us, however,
last night just before he went home
that he liad not sriven up the hope of a
favorable change during the night and
the surgeons think tlún aorning that
there has been such a slight change for
the better as Doctor Bliss hoped for.
The breaking of the suppurating gland
into the cavity "of the ear willV it is
thought, afford more relief than could
be given in any other way and it is
therefore regarded as a favorable symp
tom. The discharge seems to bo free
and the pus is thus far of a healthy
character, and the patient's mind this
morning is clearer than la3t night,
showing that there has been no blood
poisoning. Taking everything into
consideration I think there is reason
this morning for a little more hope."
secretary Lincoln's views.
Executive Mansion. 11:15 a. m. Sec
retary Lincoln upon coming out of the
Cabinet room this morning was asked
what he thought of the President's con
dition. 'Well, he said, "there is just enough
encouragement through which up to
last night I thought the President would
pull through. 1 rom what the surgeons
told yesterday I received the impression
swollen parotid gland had very much
the character of a serious and danger
ous carbuncle, which was enough oi
itself to bring a well man very low.evcn
if it did not cause his death. With this
impression hope pretty much left me
this morning, however, I feel again a
little more encouraged."
BLAINE'S SAY.
Executive Mansion, noon. Secretary
Blaine, who just left the Lxecutive
Mansion, savs .the surgeons are still
feeling a little more hopeful than they
did last night, on account oi the con
tinued outflow of pus from the inflamed
gland through the ear. The genoral
condition ot the patient, however, nas
not, he says, materially changed during
the morning. His pulse has been fair
ly steady, but is now a little higher than
at 8:30 a. ra.
intense anxiety.
Chieaeo. Auar. 26. The News' Wash
ington special says: Notwithstanding
the unfavorable aspect of the Presi
dent's case the city is remarkably qui
et. For a week past there has been a
settled feeling of despair. No crowd
gathers about the White House gates
as at the former crisis. At the White
House quiet prevails. The day bids
fair to be one of terrible anxiety. The
impression is that there must be a
change for the better to-day or the
worst consequences must- ensue. All
conditions now demonstrate the effect
of blood poison and a decided reaction
is the only hope. The secretion of pus
always creates a severe constitutional
disturbance. The brain aberration of
the President of yesterday and last
nicht show the working of vitiated
blood. The question now is whether
this can be overcome. The only hope
is that the patient may retain adequate
nourishment to sustain him while the
blood poison is being eliminated. How
long that may take no one can tell.
Chances are against this hope. The
physicians however say it is within pos
sibility, but reaction must come soon.
The President was very restless during
the early part of the night and when he
did sleep it was for a few moments
only.
He made no effort to talk. All the
members of his family kept their rooms
during the night, except Mrs. Garfield.
She did not undress, but lay down on
the outside of the bed. Soon after one
o clock she heard the doctors going
about and went into the sick room with
them. They found it necessary to ad
minister nourishment, and soon retired.
Mrs. Garfield remained by the bedside
urltil the President fell asleep and then
returned to her room. Gen. Swain re
lieved Mrs. Edson at 3 o'clock and day
light found Mrs. Garfield sharing his
vigil. She looked pale but restless and
remarked to members of the family
who asked her how the f residen) was,
"He seems no worse."
SAD SCENES. ,
New York, Aug. 26. A Washington
special says the President passed
weary, restless night, but fortunately
was unconscious or rather wSfftdering
in mind at all times. When asleep he
talked incessantly, but intelligibly for
rthe most part. Occasionally he would
call upon some familiar name. Several
times he fancied himself in his Ohio
home. Mrs. Garfield remained near
him at all watches of the night. At
a. m., finding that there was a prospect
ot greater rest lor him, she went to lie
down.
The usual Thursday evening prayer
meeting last night at the Christian
Church was a very solemn sequu. Rev.
Mr. Power presided, and i while he
spoke of the President's condition, sobs
were heard in every part of - the little
building. Prayers were made for the
recovery of the President, and a meet
ing for the same purpose took place at
noon to-uay.
Mrs. Edson left the White House
early this morning, believing him dv-
ing. She says he was unconscious most
of the night and it was impossible to
arouse him. Mrs. Garfield sat on one
side of the bed and she on the other
At 4 o'clock when the President roused
for a moment and suggested that his
wife had better go to her room and rest

haps you had better stay then." lie
thereupon dozed again, breathing
heavily. During the night there were

boynton's prediction ok evil.
Secretary Brown, in his note, to the
Cabinet, stated that the sweating of the
neck had broken inwardly atv was dis
charging through the mouth. This re
calls lioynton a assertion tnat mere
would be no possible hope if it broke
inwardly. Last night the physicians
told the cabinet that unless there was a
radical change for the better by nine
o'clock this morning, there would be no
hope.
THEY CANNOT VISIT THEIR FATHER'S
DEATH BED.
Cleveland, Ohio, August 26. Joseph
Rudolph, brother-in-law of the Presi
dent, left this afternoon for Washington
in company with Captain Henry. Mr.
Rudolph has been in charge of the Men
tor homestead while the President has
been away, and has had care of the
President s two younger sons, nine and
eleven 3ears. In obediance to a tele
gram last night from Mrs. Garfield,
these sons are left at Mentor. They
were informed last evening of the Pres
ident's almost hopeless condition, and
were greatly distressed, but did not
murmur on being tolol that they could
not go to him.
New York, Aug. 26. Vice-President
Arthur was seen at his house at noon.
He states that he has only received olli
cial bulletins in regard to the Presi
dent's condition. He has not been
summoned, nor has he received any in
timation to be in readiness to go to the
capital. Should he receive such a mes
sage he would go at once. He refuses
to state what he thought ot the presi
dent's condition, or its requirements in
relation to the Vice-President.
OFFICIAL BULLETIN.
Executive Mansion, 12:30 p. m. At
the morning dressing of the President
it was observed that the pus from the
parotid swelling has found its way
spontaneously into his right external
auditory meatus, through which it was
discharging some pus, and was also
discharged through the incision made
into the swelling. His wound looks as
well as it has done for some time past.

Executive Mansion, 2 p. m. At 1:40

of exhaustion. His clearer mind is
favorable symptom. His pulse is not
higher now than at noon which was the
highest of the day. The character of

Garfield fully appreciates his condition.

Chicago, Aug. 26. The Inter Ocean's
Washington special says the President
is resting in a half unconscious state,
dozing and waking. He takes , liquid
nourishment at intervals. Dr. Bliss
has yeered around again since morning
and is entirely despondent. It is his
opinion, and that of other physicians,
that three or four days will elapse be
fore the President dies, and that he will
finally succumb to exhaustion. ,
EVENING BULLETIN.
Executive Mansion, 0:30 p. m. The
President's condition has not changed
materially since the last bulletin was
issued. He continues to take by the
mouth the liquid food prescribed and
reasonably asks for it. Since yesterday
forenoon, commencing at 11:30 a.m.',
the enemata have again been given at
regular intervals as a means of admin
istering stimulants as well as nutrition.
They are retained without trouble. At

doubting reyburn.
Executive Mansion, August 20. Dr.
Reyburn, just before the appearauce of
the evening bulletin, said in his judg
ment tho patient had not lost any
ground since the middle of the after
noon. It was feared, he said, at one
time to-day, that the parotid gland
would slough off in a suppurating mass,
and if this should occur, the shock to
the patient's system would almost cer
tainly prove fatal. Later in the after
noon, however, tho appearance of the
gland was more reassuring and gave
ground for hope that suppuration would
be confined within the limits of a sim
ple, although bad abscess. The Doctor
said he could not bring himself to be
lieve that the President would die, al
though he appreciated fully the gravity
of the situation. The vitality of the pa
tient has been very low, and it was
questionable whether he could hold out
much longer against the depressing in
fluence of the suppurating gland, nev
theless if they could tide Mm over two
or three days and get the glandular
complication under control, he would
still stand a fair chance of recovery.
Speaking of the President's general
symptoms, Dr. Reyburn said he should
be a little quieter and has shown further
signs of fatal disturbance, and has slept
a good deal in short naps. In other re
spects his general condition seems to be
unchanged.
AT MIDNIGHT.
Executive Mansion, 12 midnight.
Information from the surgeon's room is
to the effect that no noticeable change
has occurred during the last hour. T he
physicians apprehend no serious change
during the night.
BLAINE TO LOWELL.
Executive Mansion, August 26. At
this hour, 1:30 p. m., the President's
pulse and temperature are high; pulse
118, temperature 100. During several
hours last night his pulse was 120. In
the early morning it fell to 108. It is
hoped that the parotid swelling has
found a slight release by a discharge of
pus through the right ear. He contin
ues to swallow liquid food in adequate
supply. He exhibits a tendency to con
tinuous sleep or drowsiness. His phy
sicians pronounce his condition critical.
