Washington 2a = Dr Boynton said this evening he thought there had beeli very slight improvement in the Presidents general condition since 4 oclock Up to that hour think he had gradually failed His pulse raised early in the aftet noon as high as 138 and remained at 130 a considerable time r thought he could hardly live through the night About 4 however rallied slightly and since has fully held his own In fact I think his general condition condi-tion is now a trifle better < Have any indications of swelling or suppuration appeared anyxvjiere except in the wound and parotid gland No What was character ofthe pus discharged today by the moqthV It looked about the same it did last night < I 11 Was it as healthy last night as it was before that time No hOt quite It was Jess in quantity and slightly wateryln appearance To what was that attributable Probably to impoverished < Jdndi i tion of the patient blood i Do you think there is anything in this changed character of the pus discharged by the wound fo cruise additional alarm No it only shows the weak anddepleted condition condi-tion of the patienfcs > body it is an evidence of inanition What are the symptoms tonight that you regard more favorable Well the character his pulse is a little better for o 1 thing and there seems to be some improvement in his mental condition which has I been brighter since 4 than be lore that time But of course this changefor the better if it i can be so called is very slight THREE CHANGES Up to 10 tonight there had been three changes In the Presidents condition to be noted Early this morning everything was bad It could not be worse without imme I diate death Later in the forenoon I there was a rally Thit was the first rally The I rally however was very feeble and did not continue long eDOugh to even fully send up to a high mark the buoyant feeling generally to be found under most adverse circumstance at the White House After a short rally during the forenoon came the midday bul letin It was bad very bad It showed a weakening in the whole system That he was worse than at the same hour yesterday was admitted ad-mitted by physicians The change for the worse became more apparent as the afternoon wore on Shortly before 3 oclock his sleepiness increased in-creased and the President appeared in a comatose condition Such condition con-dition was evidence of well developed devel-oped blood poisoning which he undoubtedly un-doubtedly has His pulse ran up to 188 with a corresponding increase of I temperature Then followed the administration of stimulants tu undo the sleepiness Wmsky to the1 i amount of five drachms at intervals inter-vals Ind the yolk of an egg with peptionized milk was administered by entmata That wits the second change The administration of stimulants had its effect upon the pulse It went down but the sleepiness continued all1 I despite the stimulants he was unconscious in slumber for au unusuallylong pen d during the afternoon With I the subsidence of the pulse the doctor doc-tor announce a more favorable condition con-dition and the G30 bulletin as Dr Hamilton expressed it showed a shade improvement That marked the third change up to lu oclock tonight to-night GREATEST JDA GEK The greatest danger now is that the President cannot be gTveajSuf Jioient strength to carry him along sp the more fatal conditions of blood P9isoning may be wardedoff He is i so weak and his blood soiui poverished that it seems almost impossible im-possible to successfully overcome the dangerous complications which have followed each other fast and fastor Last night the hurl wh gabs g-abs Ss broke inside and pus was discharged through the ear All efforts to control the abscess seemed to avail nothing The break inside was admitted to be a most dangerous sign One of the physicians said before it occurred that it such a contigency should arise he did not think the President could suryive Again last night the President became be-came anxious and worried on the subject of being removed Mrs Ed son was with him The Piesideut said Where is Bliss In the next room was the reply After an imnatient movement the President saiaGo and tell him l to come here Tell him I want to be removed to my own bed I wont stay here any I longer After considerable trouble Mr Edson quited him and he went to Sleep for a few minutes It will be remembered that when ur Hamilton cut the gland the otljer day he did it in order to let out the accumulated matter fearing it might seek an outlet elsewhere and possibly go through the ear The swelling of the gland hasnot gone down perceptibly CABINET OFFICERS orixto s ALiQYeagh and James have been most widely divergent in their view fbri the past three weeks James has ixut up hope and the attorney general has been despondent Today To-day these two gentlemen came nearer being in coincidence with eacliotner than heretofore They arc il fact not very far apart in theiropinions The attorneygeneral after being told by the physicians about the bursting gland and being made acquainted ac-quainted with other features of the case summarizes in saying the situation situ-ation is very critical Postmaster Geiieral

There was a general feeling of despair de-spair Boynton thinks him a little weaker tonight if anything Dr Hamilton said at 6 pm there is a shade of improvement CRITICISMS A warm friend of the President who has remained at the White House during the period of his illness ill-ness spoke in the most bitter terms of the InterOceans correspondent and of the bulletins of tho secretary secre-tary of state The gentleman averred that Blames sources for obtaining accurate information were more limited than that of any other member mem-ber of the cabinet He said none of he attendant ph > sicians would talk with Blaine since he had begun sending forth sensational reports and his telegrams to Lowell were predicated upon his individual opinion opin-ion of the case rather than upon information

Power his pastor is now with him Upon assembling i his morning for the usual examination the physicians I phy-sicians found the debility so far increased us to dwarf all other conditions The dressing of the wound and the gland showed there had been but small discharges from either and these were watery in app qrance The edges of the wouud were flabby and the granulation of a lighter color The lungs are evidently affected and should the patient livelong live-long enough he will probably pass through a period of suffering with them The Presidents sons were informed at an early hour of the change for the worse They had been sleeping on cots in the corridor corri-dor neither having undressed for the night The children went into the sick room about 730 spoke cheerfully to their father and his daughter kissed him They remained but a few moments WHAT DOES IT MEAN V There was a significant inquiry made this morning about an eminent emi-nent lawyer who makes regular early visits to the AYhite House The request re-quest was made by a prominent member of the executive force and was to the effect that the genUeman when he came should be at once sh wn into Private Secretary Browns room

regard the case as hopeless but very dangerous dan-gerous and critical BLAncH Secretary MILK TOAST Executive Mansion 930 pm About half an hour ago the President Presi-dent said to Mrs Garfield who was sitting by his bedside that he would like a piece of milk toast She replied re-plied if the surgeons had no objections objec-tions she would get it for him Dr Bliss upon being consulted said it would do no harm if the eondition of the Presidents parotid gland would allow him to move his jaws enough to eat it Mrs Garfield thereupon there-upon prepared the tOast t carefully herself and the patient ate it with apparent relish and enjoyment moving his jaws with less difficulty than was anticipated This taking of solid food for the first time in about two weeks is regarded by the Presidents attendants as a favorable favor-able indication and has strength I ened a little more the hope expressed i ex-pressed this afternoon by Colonel Rockwell and General Swain BLAINE TO LOWELL There is a somewhat more hopeful hope-ful feeling tonight in regard to the President The regular evening bulletin was more favorable and good indications have continued His pulse is lower being now 111 and of better quality His mind is entirely clear He has shown a positive pos-itive appetite asking for milk toast a small quantity of which he was allowed to eat This is the first time for many days that he has swallowed anything but liquid food A slight increase in his respiration is the only adverse symptom at this hour 1030 pm 0 Signed ELAINE Secy BRIGHTER The gloom around the city and at the White House was slightly lifted this afternoon about 4 oclock A I change was then noticed in the President Pres-ident for the better The whole morning since 5 oclock had been as depressing as it possibly could be without the announcement that death had made its appearance The President himself became discouraged dis-couraged this morning about 7 oclock and it was only by bolstering him up with hope that he threw otf the condition of hopelessness which had it continued would be as1 alarming a phase of the case as one of the many which developed themselves them-selves It is part of the treatment that despondency in the patient shall be prevented At noon there could not have been found a ray of hope with a lantern Drs Bliss Hamilton and Ilyuuin in successive conversations said in as many words they did not think the President could recover They united in the opinion that a very marked rally would be necessary to counteract the very weak upd debilitating debil-itating condition Dr Bliss said I further that the debility had mad such progress that he could nofJe J how it was possible for the jpiesi dent to repair This afternoon hung along in this unfavoraole manner until about 5 oclock when it was noticed that the President was a very little better Mrs Garfield I Gar-field who had been by his side all daj long was the first to notice the change The change was not for great good in the Presidents enfeebled I en-feebled condition but still was a change for the better and carried with it renewed hope in the breasts of thejpeople inside r HOPE j J Col Rockwell after the toast was eaten said he was more than ever confident that his prediction of the early part of the evening that the President was gomg to surprise the country hy getting well was on amore a-more solid foundation 0 The favorable change of the afternoon after-noon carries with it the prospect that there may be a building up Outside of that nothing of a favorable favor-able character can be chronicled The effects of the bulletins upon the rople both inside and outside the I I White House was very clearly I marked tod iy The unfavorable bulletins of the morning and noon today caused gtoorn everywhere ARTHUR I Some of the members of the cabinet say it iS the duty of everyone every-one to hold up the hand of Vice President Arthur and to strengthen his position before the people in this trying emergency There is
