A RESTLESS XIOHT.
WAS'HIXOTOX ; August 10. After 3
o'clock this morning the president
rested comfortably and seemed en
tircly free from nausea. At that hour
1m became a little restless , lie was
awakened thirty minuton later by a
sickness of the stomach. After ono
or two attempts to vomit the nausea
passed away without having given rise
to any severe irritation. Mrs. Edson
was at the bedside at the time and
immediately culled Dr. Bliss and Dr.
lloyburn , who were "on duty , but
whoso presence was not necessary as
the nausea wus not again noticed.
The president then passed an uncom
fortable half hour but finally fell
iifllocp about 4 o'clock , at which time
Dr. Bliss said his pulse had gene back
and was firm and satisfactory in char ,
ncter. During the night the temperature
turo and respiration were within nor
mal range and tlioro was nothing to
indicate that the wcund was not doing
well.
WHILE THE ritKSIDKXT WAS AWAKK ,
between three and four o'claok , ho
had -a slight but natural passage of the
bowels. At daylight Mrs. Edson was
roliovedjbyj udgc Swaim , who took his
seat at the president's bedside , then
asleep. Dr. Reyburn reclined noai
by _ , and Dr. Bliss was. asleep in an ad
joining room. The president's fam
ily were all asleep at this time , ant
James Gurfiold , Jr. , had wrapped him
clf in n blanket to lay near the door
of the sick room. Since the shooting
"young Jim , " as ho is called , has ta
ken to sleeping wherever fancy may
dictato. At six o'clock the doctors
were ntill in the room. The presidonl
had not needed them since they were
culled by Mrs. Edson during the
night. All through the oaily morning
workmen , as they passed to thoirday's
Lvbor , halted before the White House
and gazed at it , as if its outer appearance
anco might convey to them some indi
cation of the condition of its patient.
XNOTH or EAIILY KISEItK
wcro , gathered about the street cor
ners , guessing at thu character of the
bulletin , There had been last night
a strong feeling perceptible through
out the city that the president would
not live until morning. The news of
thu comparative inipiovement of the
late hour had however spread and the
morning p.ipuis added a gleam of
hope , so the end was believed to be
not ypt , and interest centered on the
morning bulletin. At 0:30 : a. m. , n
messenger who called on his way to
inept Secretary Lincoln , who was to
arrive by the early train , found Mrs.
Garfiuld up and dressed. She ap
peared to bo cheoiful and had just
seen the doctors. They could , how
ever , tell her nothing more of her
huiband's condition than that his
strength appeared to bo increasing ,
This they judged simply from the
character of the pulse , whoso | > eats
V had , however , not been counted.
When PrivatoSocrutary Brown reached
the White House at 7 a. m. , ho found
the doctors dozing , and Genera ! Swain
announced that the president was still
asleep.
XO PUKTIIEH IXViWMATION
could bo gleaned during the next
hour , Dr , Agnew came down with
Attorney-General MacVeagh soon af
ter 7 o'clock , and Drs. Barnes mid
Woodward followed soon after. To
the physicians Dr. Bliss stated , what
was not previously given to the public ,
that the president had several spells
of vomiting early in the night. Ho
then rested bettor until about 'J
o'clock. The nausea at this time ,
mentioned in earlier dispatches , did
not repulse the vomiting , but the
retching caused him much pain after
. ' { o'clock , and after the passage al
ready reported an eneniata was ad-
miiiinterod. From this time his rest
was good , and at the time of the
morning examination his physicians
found him somewhat refreshed. The
wound was found to be in excellent
condition. The temperature and
respiration being normal added to the
belief of yesterday that the stomach
trouble is isolated from the
v. , .
or condition of the wound. The whyi
siciana nro very conservative in tnoir
expressions this morning. They say
ho whole matter rests on their ability
o strengthen the atomnch , and that
nothing but time can tell whether
hot can bo done. Meanwhile
THK FAMILY AND CABINET
are encouraged to hope the difficulty
may bo successfully mot , and the
watching will bo continuous. Attor
ney General McVeaglt takes n gloomy
view of thocaso. Ho has feared some
such complication-as the present , but
tie fools that there is a favorable
change this morning. From the tone
of his conversation , lion over , ho
Bcoina to fear that it will not last.
Postmaster General James says ho ex
pected an improvement this morning
and believes it will continue through
out the day. Other members of the
cabinet say they feel slightly reassur
cd , but still doom the situation very
grave. Secretary Blainp has not boon
heard from. The public are divided
in opinion over the morning bulletin ,
a few considoing it favorable , but the
recurrence of the vomiting during the
night is generally looked upon as n
bad sign. No excitement in the city
this morning. Hopeful people are ,
however , in the minority.
ALL THK CABINET OFFICERS
have gene to their duties in the de
partments , but are-to bo immediately
informed if there isf'any material
change for the worse. Jllaino started
for Washington on receiving last
night's nowj and ia expected to reach
hero to-night. Dr. Hamilton is ex
pected this afternoon According to his
previous arrangements with Dr. Ag
now. 'The departure of. . Dr. Agnew
will depend on to-day's developments.
Secretary Lincoln , who arrived from
New York this morning , says that to
him the situation scorns to bo ok-
troinoly serious at present. There
was n little improvement this morn
ing , but ho says it is""vory little. '
All anxiety turns towards the noon
bulletin , and on its indications hangs
the expectation of the people.
If the temperature should bo
much below the normal point
and the pulse remain higlrtho gravity
of the situation would bn deepened.
If , on the other hand , the tempera
ture should remain in the normal
range or oven if it should increase
slightly and the pulse still remain
high the situation would not bo ma
terially changed. A stationary tern
peraturo and an improvement in the
pulse would be the best indication.
These suggestions are based on a
known tlnory of the physicians. They
are very reticent and.it . is impossible
to get any very definite statement
from them as , to their views at this
critical timo. The bulletin may bo
expected about 1 o'clock.
NO XOL'KISUMEXT IX THE NEXT TWENTY-
FOUR IIOUKS.
The critical situation has been explained
plained to the president and ho has
been told that ho will bo unable to
take any nourishment in the ordinary
way for the next 24 hours.
THAT CABINET MF.ET1NU.
WASHINGTON , D. C. , August 10.
Shortly after 4 p. in. Attorney-Gen
eral MacVcagh drove up to the White
House. Almost immediately after
wards came Secretary Hunt , and by
twenty minutes after 4 all of the mem
bers of the cabinet were in the cabi
net chamber with the exception ol
Secretary Blaine , who had not yet
arrived. A little later , the state de
partment was represented by Acting
Secretary Hitt. This circumstance
soon became noised abioad and the
report was cuircnt that the president
was dying and the cabinet had been
called. The facts intho case are that
after' the noon bulletin had been
issued Attorney-General MacVcagh
wits greatly worried with the
gravity of the situation anil
suggested that at some time durin. .
the afternoon all the cabinet officers
got together and ask ono of the sur
geons to give them a plain statement
of the president's prospects. It so
happened that the meeting was ef
fected soon after the closing of thn de
partments. Dr. Bliss sat with them
about twenty minutes and so im
pressed them with the bolicf that the
president had a good chance to re
cover that they came out with a re
assurance which was evident , in their
countenances. Mr. MaoVeagh , who
has been the moat gloomy of all to
day , had a smile on his face and as
sured the inquirer that the mooting
had no official tiignificunco whatever.
Ho did not say what might have been
the significance had not the surgeons
placed the case in so favorable a light
before them. Dr , Bliss is anything
but nervous this afternoon. Ho un
doubtedly clings to the idea that the
trouble with the president's stomach
will yet bo surmounted.
THE I'Hiwiiuixr''i rin.siciANM
do not yield in the least their hope
that the crisis may yet bo passed. Dr.
Basil Norris , one of the physicians
who was temporarily in attendance in
the early days of the case , says that hu
does not think the ease ia hopeless.
When asked if ho thought the presi
dent could pull through ho said' "Ho
han done so much in this direction al
ready tnat wo can hardly doubt any
thing " During all the later houtd of
the afternoon the fooling of
depression that had hung
over the White House all
day was somewhat lifted , though the
case could not bo determined. The
reports from the sick-room up to 0 p.
m , were that the president was hold
ing his own. No details as to thu ir
ritation of the stomach could bo
learned. The meagroness of the in
formation waa not looked upon as
very assuring. The anxiety of the
populace had again turned toward thu
evening bulletin , and before 7 o'clock
the usual crowd had begun to gather
Uxmt the Whi'o House bnl-
etin to hear thu latest nowa. ,
THE lUrilEMION 14 OIIOWIKU
at the White House that the crisis is
it joust worked oil' but an curly fa *
tality continues to bo the talk of thu
perfple throughout the city. Theie is
in earnest hope that such will not bo
the cose. The people in the street
find it hard to shake oil' thu forebod-
i that Imvo gained such ground.
Now and then muttered cuncs are
tieard and if Guiteau should happen
to t bo available ho would IH ) torn limb
f from limb. No definite information
as to when Secretary Blixino will ar
rive is obtainable. Dr. Hamilton
started from Soabripht at 4 p. in. It
is twsitivoly assorted that Yice-Prosi-
dent Arthur has not been eent for , al
though ho in kept constantly informed
of the presidents condition. The- ru
mor that the president is atllictod
with bad sores is utterly w ith-
out foundation. Dr. Bliss said , as
lie entered the White House
For the evening examination , thnt up
to the time ho loft the patient , tMO
p. m. , ho wus perfectly oatietied with
the progress of the case to-day. Ho
spoke of the difficulty in the stomach
as if it was easily surmounted , Ho
felt bettor for BOIIIO reason than ho
did in the early part of the day ( but
ho did not say how far the trouble
had been surmounted. "Wo will
fight it out on this line if it takes all
summer , " ho said.
Mrs. Garficld took- short ride this
afternoon to take air. She appealed
as calm as over. Before going out
she sat for an hour by the president's
side , and resumed the same position
for n while on her rotuni.

HOW THK KVENIMI III'LLETIX WAS HE-
CE1VEI ) .
WASHINGTON , August 1C.--Socro-
rotary Brown's room was literally
packed with correspondents and other
callers when the bulletin was brought
from the doctors' room this evening.
Assistant Secretary Pruden read it
aloud and left the company to comment -
mont on it while copies were being
prepared for distribution. Dr. Bliss
appeared in their midst and stated
that thu bulletin was a very conservative
vative ono and in general indicated
an improvement. Hi > said that the
afternoon vomiting referred to was
caused by drinking a slight excess of
water.
THE MUST EM'HIiSSIONS
in regard to the bullotintj were in
recognition of its ono favorable foa-
tuo. The temperature instead of
falling to normal , as it had been
feared , had gene up a little but' was
still within normal range. The high
pnls % under the circumstances was
slightly less alarming , Uiough the con
tinued gravity of thu situation was
undeniable. On all sides were heard
murmurs of disappointment. The
slight improvements were so
indefinite and indicated such slow pro
gress that the impatience of the wait
ing people was not allayed. The only
crumbs of comfort gathered from the
evening bulletin was the rise in tem
perature had postponed if not warded
oil' the 'crisis , while little satisfac
tion was gained from the more fact
that no ground had been los't , On
the streets the bulletins caused 'addi
tional forebodings. The crowd that
had collected before the White House
slowly walked away in silence.
"HE WILL DIE UEKOUEMOKNINCl"
was heard on all1 sides , but there were
a few wjio still cling to the hope that
the morning will see him better. At
the White4 House the deepest anxiety
prevails , but no immediate danger is
apprehended. The dozens of places
where bulletins were posted about the
city this evening were scones of deep
interest. A stranger happening in
could not but judge that the presi
dent was dying. At Pennsylvania
avenue and Fifteenth street , as a
largo crowd collected , scarcely a voice
of hope could bo heard. The general
question was not "How is ho"but ?
"How long do you think ho will
last ? " His death seems'to bo accepted
as a foregone conclusion , A gentle
man of grand physique , addressing
these near him'said ; "I am confident
the president will recover. " uWhat
makes think ? " "Well "
you so , con
tinued the speaker , "I had a hall in
mo ten months and a day. Two of
my ribs were broken and the ball
crossed my back. I was reduced from
210 to 118 pounds but here I am
well. " But such speeches were not
what pboplo wa > .ted. The people
clamored for more official bulletins.
They did not seem to consider the
impracticability of disturbing the
president frequently to pet accurate
nformation. All that could bo learned
'rom the sick room was bulletined by
.ho local presses. All nt the White
House grew a little more cheerful r.s
thu evening advanced but the gloom
could not bo hidden. Secretary
( ilaine had not arrived nt ! > p. m ,
Jol. Rockwell wus asked at Hi0 ; ? p. m.
vhatho thonght of the president , "Oh ,
10 is bettor , " was the reply ,
"How much better , Col. i"
"Well , enough to give mo consider
able encouragement. "
Alter the president had gene to
Bleep ( lie situation was generally talked
over in the cabinet room , Attorney-
General MacVcagh came out and wus
naked what the feeling waa. "Wo
fell a little bettor , that ia , wo find
ground for hope and wo nro bound to
get all the encouragement wo can.
The situation ! H of the gravest concern.
No such slight improvement relieves
mo from fear , but.I got what comfoit
I can from the slight improvement. "
The same question asked of Post
master General James , ho said ho
was , feeling better , Ho considered
the situation grave and more than
grave , but there is enough tit keep
from despondency ,
Kirkwood , too , noes a ray of light
in the -fact that the president is no
worse to-night ,
Secretary Windom feola very much
bettor ,
Lincoln thinks the situation too
serious for guess work. Ho is wait
ing to BOO how the night is past.
cting Secretary Hitt thinks the
prospect bettor to-night than last
night. The more favorable tempera
ture in the evening bulletin hassoryo/1
to jwirtly reassure Private Secretary
Drown. Ho looks more cheerful but
10 is cautious of his statement.

lias been the meagrcncM of the news
[ rom the sick room. The doctors re
main in their own room and the
nurses do not co back and forth so
much. The family and cabinet soino-
timcs set an hour or so without seeing
or hearing directly from the doctors.
After the evening bulletinnothing
could be learned from the sick room
except that the president had gene to

been administered. Ill the nlnonco

tion was accepted tlmt ho grow no

about to go home aho was asked by a
representative of the National ABSO-
ciutou Press what she thought of the
condition of the caso. She said it
was a very serious critics but tlmt aho
lad hope that the president would
recover. Ilia trouble with the atom-
ich in her opinion , has nothing what
ever to do with the condition of the
wound , comparatively considered , and
she said that the wound is neatly heal-
) d. This new trouble aho thinks in
'ully comprehended by all the physi-
: ians and all have the sumu idea about
it. The president also comprehends
: ho situation. Ho has been told
that his stomach demands abso
lute rest , and that no effort
will _ be made to give him
nourishment in the regular way. To
day four nutritious eneniata will bo
