Bliss hoped for. The breaking of the suppurating gland into the cavity of tbe ear, will, It is thought, afford more relief than could be given in any other and It Is, therefore, regarded as a favorable symptom. The discharge through that channel seems to be free. Tbe pus is thus far of a healthy character, and the patient's mind this morning it clearer tban last nlgbt, show-lug tbat there has been no blood-poisoning of consequence from the gland at vet Taking everything into consideration, I think there Is reason this morning for hope." BECHKTARif Lincoln's opinion sligiitm HOPEFUL. Executive Mansion, August a.

m. Secretary Lincoln, on coming out of tbe cabinet room this morning, wss asked what he thought of the President's condition. "Well," be said, "there Is Just enough en. couragement this morning to revive the faint hope which I had up to last night, that the President would pull through. From what the surgeont told us yesterday evening, I recolved the impression that tbe swollen parotid gland bad very much the appearance of a severe and dangerous carbuncle, which wasenougo of Itself to bring a well man very low, even if It did not cause his death.

With this Impression, hope pretty much left me this morning. However, 1 feel again a little encouragement." "Upon what ground?" "Well, the lnllaraed gland, I am told, looks better than It did last night, and Is discharging quite freely through the ear. This the surgeons regard as favorable, and it seems so to me. I think that the general condition of the patient la little improved to-day. His mind acts better and grasps Ideas more readily than It did last night.

Then there bus been this morning nono of the lucoherency of speech which was the.i noticed. If be were getting worse 1 do not think this would be the case. Upon the whole, therefore, I think we are Justified in feeling slightly more encouraged. The case is not entirely hopeless. 12:30 p.

m. official. Executive Mansion, August 2012:30 p. m. At the morning dressing of the Presi-dent's wound it was observed that tbe pus from the parotid swelling had found It way spontaneously from his right external auditory mtatut, through which It has discharged some pus.

It was also discharging through the incision made Into tbe swelling. His wound looks as well as it has done for some time past. His pulse and temperature at present are higher than at the corresponding hour for some days. He continues to take by mouth the liquid food prescribed nevertheless, we regard his condition as critical. Pulse, 118; temperature, 100; respiration, 18.

not hopeless, but vert grave. Executive Mansion, August 20. At 1:40 p. m. Dr.

Bliss told a reporter that the President's condition this afternoon was very critical, you may say alarming If you choose. It Is as bad as at any time before not entirely hopeless, you understand, but very grave. He continues to take food about as yesterday, and tbe cnemata have been resumed. His system seems to bear tbem well, and whisky can be given that way better tban though the mouth. The parotid gland Is about the same.

In order not to disturb him we didn't remove the poultices this noon. I don't think there is much danger now from acute blood poisoning through pus in the glands. He is more likely to die of ex Axminster Moquette Carpets. I I i AW i I 1 i 'if; 1: i 1 i Hi I 100 Rolls Handsome Ingrains. 75 Rolls Beautiful Brussels.

New York, August 20. Washington specials say the Presldient passed a weary, restless nlgbt, but fortunately was unconscious or rather wandering lu bis mind at all times. When asleep he talked Incessantly, but unintelligibly for the most part. Occasionally he would call U)Kn some familiar name. Several times he fancied himself In bis Ohio home.

Ills pulse and temperature continued high until near morning when bo slept at longer Intervals. Mr. Garfield remained near bim through all tbe watches of the nigh'. At ft a. finding there was a prospect of greater rest for him, she went to lie down.

Blaine's Bulletins to Lowell. Washington, August 20. The following was sont to-day: Lowell, Minister, London: At 1:30 the President's pulse and temperature was high; pulse 118; temperature 100. During several hours last nigh; his pulse was 120. In the early morning it fell to 108.

It Is hoped the parotid swelling ha found a slight release by the discharge of pus through the right ear. He continues to swallow liquid food In adequate supply. He exhibit a tendency to continuous sleep or drowsiness. Tbe physicians pronounce his condition critical. Blaine to-night telegraphed to Lowell "While the president made no gain to-day his loss of ground bas been less In tbe judgment of tbe physicians than was feared last night.

In this respect there is an abject feeling of encouragement or at last a ray of hope. Adverse symptoms are still manifested. One favorable Indication is tbat bis swallowing and digesting of liquid food continues. Two or three times during tbe day he bas asked for nourishment, has spoken intelligently and voluntarily, and throughout the day bis mind bas been less affected than on yesterday. Tbe expected relief to the parotid swelling from the discharge through tbe ear baa not been realized.

The sitnation is one of great gravity and danger. The Views of Dr. Reyburn. Executive Mansion, August 26. Dr.

Reyburn, Just before the appearance of the evening bulletin, said that In bis Judgment the patient has not lost any ground since the middle of the afternoon. It was feared, he said, at one time to-day, tbat the whole parotid eland would slough off in a suppurating mass, and if this should occur the shock to tho system would almost certainly prove fatal. Later in the afternoon, however, the appearance of the gland was more reassuring, and gave ground for the hope that suppuration would be confined within tbe limit of the simple, although bad abscess. Tbe doctor said he could not yet bring himself to believe that tbe patient would die, although be appreciates the full gravity of the situation. The vitality of the patient Is very low, and It is questionable whether he cau hold out much longer against tbe depressing influence of the suppurating gland; nevertheless be felt that if they could tide bim over two or three days, and get the glandular complication under control, be would still have a fair chance of recovery.

Speaking of the President's general symptoms, Dr. Key burn said that the resident Bad been a nine quieter mis otou- ing, and bad shown no rurtner signs oi mental disturbance; he had continued to take fond Hilafftctnrllv. and had slept a good deal In short naps. In other respect, his general condition seems unchanged. Lancet's Opinion.

London. August 20. The Lancet seys "When it is borne In mind that in cases of starvation death supervenes when tbe loss of two-fifths of tbe original weight bas oc curred, the fact that President Garfield bas lost eighty pounds Is alone sufficient to ex cite serious apprehensions. We cannot but regard tbe paiotid swelling or abscesses as of serious import, aimougu it wouiu uu tr, tnnalf nf hia rpcnverv as alto. getber beyond hope.

A speedy Improvement is necessary to avert, ui reuu. A Day of Fasting, Prayer and Humiliation Washington, August 20. At the Union meeting for prayer for the recovery of he President at tbe Vermont avenue Christian church, it was agreed by tbe pastors present that a recommendation be made to their churches to observe Sunday, tbe 28th Inst. as a day of humiliation, fasting and prayer, and that Invitation be extended to all sister chnrches in the city and as far as possible throughout the country, to unite in tills oo-servance. The recommendation meets with the approval of the President's ramiiy.

The Feeling at Mentor and Cleveland. Cleveland. August 20. Joseph Ru dolph, brother-in-law of tbe President, left this afternoon for Washington In company with Cant. Henrv.

Mr. Rudolph has been in charge of the Mentor homestead while the President has been away, and has bad care or the President's two younger sons, nine and eleven years of age. Iu obedience to a tele gram last night from Mrs. Garfield these sons are left at Mentor.

Some of the most eminent physicians of the country believe that there Is a malarial com- plication with remittent characteristics, and, lf this Is true, they dread the seventh day relapse, which is due on Sunday. Should that come, with the nausea and stomachic weakness of previous relapses, the worst must be expected. BULLETINS. AN INCREASED FLOW OK VVS. ExacuTivi Mansion, August 20-7 a.

m. Dr. Reyburn says this morning that no material change in the condition of the President has occurred during the night. He observes no diminution of strength, nor increase in frequency of the pulse, which this morning Is about 11U. An Increased discharge of pus from the parotid swelling took place during the night.

8:30 A. M. OFFICIAL. Executive Mansion, August 20. 8:30 a.

The moat of thd night, awakeuing at intervals of an hour. On flint awakening, there was, as there has been for several nights past, some mental confusion, which disappeared when be was fully roused, and occasionally be muttered in hi sleep. These symptoms have abated this morning, as on previous days. At present his temperature is slightly above normal and his pulse a little more frequent than yesterday morning. Pulse, 103; temperature, 99.1; respiration, 17.

HOMf ENCOURAGEMENT TK8TEHDAY MORNINO. Executive Mansion, August 2010 m. But very little information was attained direct from the physicians concerning the condition of the President this morning prior to the Issuance of tbo morning bulletin. Tbe absence of all reference in tbe bulletin to the general condition of the President and to the parotid swelling, was at once noticed and commented upon by those waiting for it. Tbe situation la considered by many less hopelul than it was last night at midnight, and by others as more so.

Attorney General McVeasrh pronounces it extremely critical, ana wnen asKea inis morcing how long be thought this suspense would continue replied, "God only knows." Postmaster General James and Secretary Hunt telegraphed to Tburlow Weed, that a gleam of hope at 10 o'clock a. comes from tbe surgeons. His symptoms are no worse, and improvement Is not Impossible. Dr. Bliss came out of the surgeons' room about 9:30 this morning and telephoned his wife that the Presi.

dent was a little better than last night. In reply to an Interrogatory, he said the President's pulse this morning was less frequent, and that the parotid swelling had broken Into the right ear and was discharging through that orifice. The patient's mind was clearer and be conversed rationally with surgeons about the condition of tbe Inflamed gland. He partook of food, which seemed to be grateful to bim, and bis general condition appeared to le a little improved. Tbe doctor expressed himself as hopeful that the swoolen gland would be relieved by the discharge through the ear, and that he would pull through the day without much change.

SECRETARY KIRKWOOD GIVES A CLEAR EX. PLANATION. Executive Mansion, August a. m. Secretary Kirkwood came out of tbe Cabinet room a few moments since, and in reply to questions gave tbe following statement of the President's condition as he understands it, this morning: "I have never thought," he said, "until last nlgbt tbat the President would die, but information which we received from the surgeons late in the evening was of such a char, aiter as to leave VERT LITTLE ROOM TOR HOPE.

The danger which then seemed most imminent was the danger of absorption of unhealthy pus from the swollen parotid gland. The mental disturbance and increased pulse teemed to indicate that this process of absorption bad already begun, and tbat it was poisoning the blood, and thus acting upon tba brain and heart' Taking a small, egg-shaped sponge which lay pn the table, the Secretary continued: "As I understand the case, from what tbe surgeon have told me, the President's right parotid gland is In some respects like this sponge. Everywhere through it are little CELLS POCKETS, in each of which there Is an accumulation of pus. The incision made day before yesterday pierced one of these pocket and released the pus which that particular one contained, but It did not drain the others, and in fact the others could not be effectually drained by a ingle incision made anywhere. Tbe fear last night was that the pus retained In these small cavities would become unhealthy and, as I beore said, result in acuta blood-poisoning." "Dr.

Bliss told us, however, last nlgbt. Just before he went home, that ha had nut given up the hope of A FAVORABLE CHANOE DCRINO THE NIGHT and the surgeons tbink this morning tbat there has been auch a alight change for the new unfavorable symptoms have appeaiea to Indicate any material change since tht Issue of the evening bulletin. The Shadow of Death. Washington, August 26. -The excitement on tbe streets and about the White House steadily Increased all this morning.

About 11 o'clock it was generally known tbat word bad been sent to the various departments to be in readiness to close uq on receiving notl. flcatlon of the President's death, and this bad the effect of sending excitement up to fever heat. Tbe members of tbe Cabinet have all been at the White nouse since early this morning, and callers have been more numerous than for several days, especially Just be. fore the hour for issuing tbe noon bulletin, which was nearly an hour late to-day, and it gloomy tale was fully discounted long before it appeared on the street. When It did come.

It effectually killed all hope and the fear Is general that tbe Presldeut may not survive tbe night. Bliss is Still Hopeful. Washington, August Bliss says: "We shall not send for Agnew unless there is some doubt about the treatment. We all agree at present. Please don't quote me as saying tbat the President's case is hopeless.

I don't think It-is. He has a chance, although, perhaps, a slim chance, and 1 still hope for his recovery." A Gloomy Statement Washington, August 20. Up to noon to-day there is no Improvement in the Presi. dent's case. In fact, it has become more critical.

His mind bas wandered at times this morning, and, though he has rallied and has been given liquid food by mouth at Intervals, he does not appear to gsln strength, and It Is evident his stomach has lost the power of assimilating food. The general breaking up of the cellular pus sacks In tbe Inflamed gland, and its discharge through the orifice of the right ear, relieved the pa-tient somewhat, but it is feared there is yet imminent danger of a sloughing abscess or the descent of pus Into the body. BOTNTON, when questioned by a Western Associated Press agent this morning, saw no indications of improvement. Secretary Blaine, when asked, replied that, though the doctors appeared to be encouraged, he could not see on what they based their hopes. Dr.

Hamilton thought there had been no improvement in twenty-four hours. Hopeful Bliss. Washington, August 20. At 5 o'clock this afternoon Bliss had veered around considerably. At that hour he was asked how long he thought the discharge from the gland would keep up.

He replied tbat it might discharge freely for forty-eight hours and then ooze. "flow about nourishment?" "He has been given sufficient nourishment by enemata to sustain him. He bas been given yolk of egg, peptonized milk and six drachms of whisky every four hours. By mouth he has been fed very liberally. Very fresh beef juice has been administered, and lie retains It all.

A Sad Occasion at the President's Place of Worship. Washington, D. August 26.

Tbe usual Thursday evening prayer meeting last night at the Christian church was a very solemn scene. Rev. Mr. Power presided, and while he spoke of tbe President's condition, sobs were heard In every part of the little building. Prayers were made for the recovery of the President, and a meeting for the same purpose took place to day.

"Is it True, Wt Must Soon be Separated?" New York, August 26. The fott't Wash ington special says: Secretary Brown, In his note to the Cabinet, stated that the swelling in tbe neck had broken Inwardly, and was discharging through the mouth. This recalls Dr. Boynton's assertion that there would be no possible hope if it broke In' wardly. Last night the doclors told the Cabinet that unless there was a radical change for tbe better by 9 o'clock this morn lng, there would be no hope left.

There has been no chancre, except for the worse. Mrs. Edson left the White House early this morning, believing him dying. He was unconscious most of tbe night, and it was impossible to arouse bim. Mrs.

Garfield sat on one side of tbe bed and she on the other at 4 o'clock, when tbe President roused a minute and suggested mat bis wire had better go to her room and rest. She asked to be allowed to remain, while he said "Is it true, we must be separated soon? Well, perhaps you naa oetter stay, wen." He thereuDon dozed again, breathing; heavily. During the night there indications of furtber stomacn troubles. A Very Discouraging and Despondent Tele gram. New York, August 26.

The rotl'i Wash ington special, at 8 p. says that Bliss, has just left the sick chamber for a short rest. He said there had been no change since the noon bulletin. "But do you abandon hope, as most seem to have?" I asked. "Certainly not," replied the doctor, but bis manner was not that of hope, and for the first time he was not inclined to talk.

Boynton also left the Mansion for a short relief from watching. He was too much overcome by emotion to talk. Words choked in his throat, from another source, however. It is learned that there has been a change since the midday bulletin, decidedly for the worse. At this time bis pulse bas in creased to 13S, and other symptoms correspond.

They bave administered milk, brandy and egg as a stimulant. At 8:03 p. m. one oi ineatienaing surgeons has just informed a Cabinet officer that there was absolutely no hope. It is feared that If the present change for tbe worse continues, tbe President will be In a comatose state before morning, although dissolution Is not ex pected for a day or two.

No Reason for Less Hope. Washington. August 26. Dr. Woodward, upon being asked at 11 o'clock whether there I.

Early in the year he paid Kicker for the packing establishment but, as the warehouses and cellars frequently contain stocks many times more valuable than th buildings, it is probable the aggregate loss will be very heavy, ihniiirh much smaller tban placed at by some authorltlos-namely, $5,000,000. Tbe estab. llshmont Is In the stock yards, a mile and a half heimnd the citv limit.

"Was it as healthy-looking last night as before that time "No; not quite. It was less in quantity and had a slightly watery appearance." "To what was that attributable?" "Probably by the impoverished condition of tbe patient's blood." Do you think there is anything in the changed character of the pus discharged by the wound to cause additional alarm?"
