Elberon, N.J., _September 19--11.30 p.m._

The President died at thirty-five minutes past 10 p.m. After the

bulletin was issued at half past 5 this evening the President continued

in much the same condition as during the afternoon, the pulse varying

from 102 to 106, with rather increased force and volume. After taking

nourishment he fell into a quiet sleep about thirty-five minutes before

his death, and while asleep his pulse ran to 120 and was somewhat more

feeble. At ten minutes after 10 o'clock he awoke, complaining of severe

pain over the region of the heart, and almost immediately became

unconscious, and ceased to breathe at twenty-five minutes to 11.
