THE LAST KAY OF HOPE.
Washington, Aug. 27. At noon Dr.
Bliss said: 1 think the President no bet
ter than yesterday, and that is about
the same as saying he is worse, because
the longer he goes on this way the less
are his chances. He has not failed a
great deal since 7 o'clock. His greatest
depression is in the morning. Ills pulse
during the forenoon was 110 to 118. I
thinklie realizes his condition to a cer
tain extent. He has inquired about his
pulse and gland several times to-day.
I don't think ho has given up the hope
of recovery. He seemed more discour
aged t his morning than usual, which
probably induced the physical depres
sion. His mind seems to react unfavor
ably on his body. He asked how he
was, and Mrs. Garfield and I gave him
reassuring replies that seemea to brace
him up, as he soon rallied. His mind
is absolutely clear and much better than
yesterday. He understands everything
that is said and done about him. His
parotid gland is not changed much.
It continues to discharge through 'ie
ear rather more freely. No other
glands are affected and there are no
other suppurations except in the gland,
and it is found that the pus indicates a
trifle more depletion of the system. I
think yesterday's slim chance has
grown slimmer.
"You still hope for recovery?"
"Yes, I hope for it."
TRUTHLESS KEPOKT.
Chicago, August 27. The Tribune's
Washington special says : A lady who
conversed with Mrs. Dr. Edson express
ed warm sympathy for Mrs. Garñeld,
referring at the same time to the report
that she soon expects to increase her
maternal cares. "Mrs. Garfield is in
her usual vigorous health," replied
Mrs. Dr. Edson, "and there is not a
word of truth in the statement to which
you refer."
"THEN THAT MIRACLE WILL OCCUR."
It is reported that when Mrs. Gar
field was notified by Dr. Boynton last
night that only a miracle could save the
President, her husband, she said, "Then
that miracle will occur. My husband
will recover. He must."
Washington, Aug. 27. Aftre restinir
easily through the night the President
became worse about 4 o clock a. m.
and has been growing feebler since. At
one time tnis morning his pulse was up
to 148 though when the bulletin was
issued at 8:30 it was but 120. Since
then it has remained steady. Doctor
Reyburn said at 10 o'clock there had
been no material change since the is
suing of the bulletin, but the President
was very feeble and hopes entertained
yesterday of relief through the suppu
ration of. the inflameu gland were
less bright to-day. The fact is the
President has been dying since 4
o'clock this morning. Dr. Power, pastor
of the Christian church, has been at the
White House all morning, and will not
leave until the end. The members of
the cabinet are all at the White House,
and in consultation in the cabinet room.
The subject of the conference is the ad
visability of sending for Vice President
Arthur at once. It was understood last
night that they agreed that this should
not be done till in the opinion of the
Shysicians the end was at hand. They
iscussed as to whether the time hail
not already arrived. Great excitement
revails on the streets, ftnd reports of
he President's death are circulated al
most hourly. To add to the excite
ment, alarming rumors are in circula
tion regarding organized bodies of men
in neigtiboring cities who arc banded
together to come here and lynch Gui
teau. It is said the guards at the jail
are in sympathy with them, and only
await a favorable opportunity to them
selves murder Guiteau. Gen. Sherman,
in conjunction with the Secretary of
War and State, are, however, taking
every precaution to preservo peace.
Executive Mansion, 12:30 p. ni.
Members of the Cabinet are all still
here, but no decisive change has taken
place in the President's condition. Attorney-General
MacVeagh authorizes
the statement that Vice-President Ar
thur has not been telegraphed for, and
there has been no decision to send for
him as yet. Bliss said to a reporter of
the Associated Press at noon that his
belief is the President cannot recover.
He thinks, however, death will not oc
cur immediately, and he may . linger
several days.
LINGERING HOPE.
' Executive Mansion, 2:30 p. m. The
President's condition remains substan
tially unchanged. Some of the Presi
dent's intimate personal friends and at
tendants still cling to the hone of his
recovery. Colonel Rockwell, in con
versation this afternoon, said with much
emphP'fls and feeling, "Notwithstand
ing the discouraging bulletins ar v
that has, been said, and notwilhst
ing the dispatches which have been
far and wide over the country, I tell
the. President is not dying and st
no sign of dying. I do not speci

AWAITING THE GOING DOWN Ul"
SUN.
Washington, August 27. Everyt
is (juiet about the White House at
wntingvand every one is waiting ;
anxietytfor the going down of the
which, it is believed, will mark the
ginning of the end. No bulletins
been issued since noon, and only
Woodwaid and Edson are at the V
House. (None of the members o
Cabinet put in an appearance sine
adjournment of the consultatioi
noon.
RUMOK THAT CONGRESS WILL BE .
VENE1).
It is reported again that a proeli
tion calling congress in session is il
hands of Secretary Blaine to be issued
this evening.
A LITTLE BETTER. ,
Executive Mansion, 3:20 p.m. There
has been no marked change in the
President's condition this afternoon.
Gen. Swain, who has just come from
his room, thinks the President is a little
better.
WHEN AG NEW WILL BE SENT i'OR.
Dr. Bliss says: "We shall not send
for Agnew unless there is some doubt
about treatment. Please don't quote
me as saying that the President's case
is hopeless. I don't think it is. He
has a chance, although perhaps a slim
chance, anil I still hope for his recov
ery." OFFICIAL BULLETIN.
Executive Mansion, 0:30 p. m. The
President's symptoms show slight ame
lioration this afternoon. His pulse is
somewhat less frequent and his tem
perature lower. Moreover, the mental
disturbance described in yesterday
morning's bulletin has disappeared.
The parotid swelling has discharged a
little pus by the opening spontaneously
formed into the ear as well as by: inci
sion made, but is not perceptibly small
er. The liquid food given by the; mouth
and enemata continue to be retained.
Pulse 114, temperature 1)8.9, respira
tions 22.

bliss gives up.
Bliss has practically given ' the ease
up. In answer to a question of a West
ern Union Associated Press agent he
said: "There may be hope yet, hut I
see no prospect of recovcrj."
Dr. Boynton, on the contrary, who
last night had given up all hope, says
the President is better to-day than for
two days past.
The Cabinet consultation broke at
12:30 p. m., and the result of the discus
sion is that Arthur will not be sent for
at present. Secretary Kirkwood, James,
Blaine and Hunt were asked by a re
porter as they passed out of the hall of
the White House as to the condition.
All said there had been no favorable
change. Bliss is reported as having
tola members or tne i aoinet that he
would be able to inform them several
hours in advance ... of the President's
death, giving them ample time to send
for the Vice-President. The doctor is
also quoted as having told , an intímale
personal acquaintance that the Presi
dent's mind was now clear, but that his
faculties would desert him some time
before death.
his pastor visits iiiji.
New York, Aug. 27; The Post's
Washington special says: The Presi
dent's pastor saw him a few moments
Íesterday morning and is now with him.
Ie says - ho then spoko clearly, calmly
and cheerfully, lie understood his
condition and expressed himself pre
pared to die. Last night Doctor Rey
burn, recognizing the great - danger
told Mrs. Garfield it would bo better
that the children should "sleep in the
house. For this reason Miss-Mollie,
who has "been passing the nights at Col.
Rockwell's came from there and passed
the night at the Executive Mansion.
Doctor Agnew is expected to arrive at
nooii. ' Doctor Power, his'.paslor, is now
with him. t
, BUT MALL DISCHARGE OF PL'S.
v Néw York, Aug. 27. A Washington
special says: Upon assembling this
morning for the usual examination the
physicians founá the debility so far in
creased as to dwarf all other conditions.
The doctors said tho wound anil gland
showed but a small-discharge of pus
and this watery in appearance: The
ends of the wounds were flabby and
granulation' of a lighter color. His
lungs ara evidently effected and should
the pátient live long enough he will
probably pass through a period of auir
fering with -them.- 'The-President'
sons were informed at an early hour of
the change for the worse. They had
been sleeping on cots id tho corridor
neither having been undressed for the
night. The children Went into tho
sick room about 7:30 and snoke cheer
fully to their father and his daughter
kissed him.- T hey remained but a few
moments. '
BLAINE TO LOWELL.
Washington, . Aug. 27. Minister
Lowell, London: There has been no
change for the better in the President's
condition since this morning. His
fever has risen and his pulse at this
hour, 2 p. m., is 120. His physicians

THE PRESIDENT DROWSY.
New York, Aug. 27. The Sun's
Washington special says : A very great
deal of efforts have been made alt day
to keep the President awake. They
ferrcd to have him sleep and even pre
ferred some excitement and some ex
haustion from conversation rather than
that being left alone he should fall
asleep. Last night or early this morn
ing they were utterly unable to waken
him ami for a while there were grave
fears that he never would come out of
the stupor. The relief which the
breaking of the abscess cave him lcss-
rened the tendency to stupor but a num
ber of times during the day he has been
drowsy and they nave tried to light it
off under the influence of stimulants.
However, this evening they do not fear
to have him drop into sleep as they did
to-day. Mrs. Edson, Mrs. Garfield and
one or two other attendants arid physi
cians have frequently stepped to his
i i.vi i i u..r..
neusiue nu euieicn iiuo unci uuiiver
sations with him during the day or or
der to answer him. He said himself
once that he feared his case was fatal
and . that he had feared it from the
start.
LINCOLN DESCRIBES THE CHANGE.
Washington, Aug. 27. Outside of the
Wrhite House the condition of the
change was described by Secretary Lin
coln. After a talk. with Reyburn and
Bliss, Lincoln said: We have been told
by the doctors that the President is a
shade better. Bliss said the President
is better now than ho was yesterday.
His pulse still fluctuates, but it is a bet
ter pulse firmer and better intone.
It has during the afternoon averaged
during its fluctuations about 114. The
President looks better than yesterday
and his stomach is doing very well in
deed. The trouble is in that swollen
gland. If it were not for that a strong
hope of recovery might be entertained,
but that local affection is bad, very
bad.
Boynton said at half-past eleven to
night that the President's condition and
prospects could be briefly stated. That
if he had vitality enough to sustain him
until this blood poisoning could be con
quered he will recover, if not, he will
die.' ' Blood poisoning had caused all
tlie,trouble with the President, and but
for that he would be up now. Swelling
of tjie parotid gland continues aboutthe
same, and the discharges are mainly
through the ear.
Executive Mansion, Aug. 27. In the
earlier stages of the President's case
while his vitality was still strong and
why! changes in condition from better
to worse and from worse to better cor
responded with the ebb and flow fever
was noticeably low. The tide of physi
cal condition came 'in the evening and
lhe;high tide of improvement in early
morning: The febrile rise was then
the 'most prominent feature of the case
andiis this periodical increase in fever
wasSargcly due and caused by excite
ment, disturbances, heat and surgical
manipulations of the day it reached its
culmination in the evening. During
the night absence of all exciting and
disturbing influences, and iest and the
refreshment of sleep caused gradual
improvement in the patient's symptoms
and conditions and touched its most fa
vornjble point in early morning. Since,
however, manifestations of fever be
camfc secondary in importance to man
ifestations of exhaustion. The high and
low lides of his condition, if they may
be so called, have, so far as time is con
sidered, been exactly reversed. The
patient now seems to have his worst
houi;s early in the morning and best in
the afternoon and evening. Ho sleeps
during the night and rallies m tho early
party of the day. This flagging of all
the-'President's vital energies in the
mol'Sing was especially noticeable to
day.j llelwcen 4 and 7 a. m. his pulse
wasfiigh and feeble, mental condition
rather? despondent, ami all symptoms
discouraging. Most of the members of
the wabinet were at the Executive Man
sion p,t an early hour.
' Jj DESPONDENCY PREVENTED.
'The President does not stifl'er much
nowJft'ith the condition of mucous mat
ter if his throat. He could not venture
auyíopinion as to whether the slight
syraitoms of improvement promised
recof cry or not, saying he became dis
couraged this morning about 7 o'clock,
and it wa only "by '-bolstering him up
with hope that he threw off the condi
tion of hopelessness, which, had it con
tinued, wonld be as alarming a .phase
of the case as one of the many which
developed themselves. It is part 6f the
treatment that despondency m the pa
tient shall be prevented-- At boon there
could not be found a ray of 'hope with
Drs. Bliss, Hamilton and Reyburn,

Advance Rates.
Denver, Aug. 27. A private meetini:
of Denver merchants was held last
night to consider the matter of ad
vanced freight rates on the Rio Grande.
After an exhaustive discussion a Com
mittee of five was appointed to waite
upon General Ireiarht Aerent Eccles.
The committee to-day called on Eccles,
and Wolte Londoner, chairman ot the
committee, delivered an address assur
ing the Rio Grande Company of the
friendly feeling of the merchants to
wards that road, and setting forth that
by increasing rates, as heretofore an
nounced, the lienver merchants would
be deprived of from one-half to two
thirds of their entire trade. Eccles
responded that no advance would be
made for at least three months, and
thought they might rely on the quest ion
being permanently settled.
Davis Disappear.
New York, Aug. 27. The Tribuno
says; The apparently unaccountable
disappearance which causes some talk
among business men is John H. Davis,
drug broker and head of the firm of
John H. Davis & Co., Maiden Lane.
He left his store July 21st, telling his
clerks he was going to the Catskills for
a week or ten days. Since then the
clerks have heard nothing of him. Da
vis is a native of Missouri and it is said
a near relative of Jefferson Davis. He
is well spoken of among drug dealers
and was a major in the Confederate ar
my upon General N. B. Forrest's staff.

Union stock yards, which had not been
extinguished at midnight, at which time
all the engines were working on it, be
ing greatly impeded in their efforts by
the scarcity ot water, hew tacts are
learned as yet, but it is known 4.10,000
pounds of bacon and a large quantity of
lard and provisions were stored in the
warehouse and will be completely de
stroyed. A rumor comes over the tele-
Íhone that several persons are killed,
he loss will probably reach a million
