The President has been more comfort
able to day than at any time since he was
wounded. His children were permitted
to see him this morning, and attending
physicians report at 3 o. m. that he is i'm
proving satisfactorily None of the sys-
TENS of artificial refrigersting thus far
have entirely met the sanguin eAnticipa-
tons of the inventors and suggestors. but
as the weather continues reasonably cool
the President has not suffered much from
heat since Thursday Experiments are
still being made with refrigerating ap-
patatus in anticipation of the return OF.
bot weather, which IS predicted by Gen.
Hazen
Settled quietness prevails at the " bite
House, and hope for the Presidents re-
coVery hiss grown into general belief.
Except cabinet officers aud newspaper
correspondents there are but few visitors
tonight Dorsey has enc of the fire
district fire engines in the White House
yard tor the purpose of testing its caps-
city for comprising air for lowering the
temperature of the Presidents room.
Dorsey has not much confidence in the
success Of this experiment, but thinks it
may do some good. Compressed cold
air will be thrown into the White House
through rubber hose A fire engine has
been telegrsphed for from New York
and will reach here tomorrow. When
It arrives Dorsey says he will be able to
keep The temperature of the Presidents
room at any degree desired. DR.. Rey-
burn said to a reporter at 10 O'Clock that
the Presidents condition was more hope
full than ever. All symptoms were fav-
Orable and the surgeons hope for al in
crease every hour. The rise in the pulse
and temperature to-day was due to the
cause thoroughly understood, and does
not indicate anything unfavorable.
Everything the bullet came in contact
With Is dead matter and must slough of.
This sloughing process has commenced
most favorsbly, as shown by the charac-
ter of the pus discharged from the wound.
One great danger apprehended was that
the sloughing might cause hemorrhage
by rupturing blood vessel, but DR..
Rey burn says this danger is now in a
great measure passed. He says
this produced irritation and surgical
fever, and caused the rise in the temper
Gture and pulse, but this fever is not high
enough to be dangerous; that in fact it ia
moderate, and, under circumstances and
conditions, satisfactory. He says the
President has taken more nourishment
to-day than on any day and o little more
stimulsnt, and has retained it all. His
strength keeps up, and altogether his con-
dition is gratifying. Colonel Rockwell
said tonight: about this evening the
President awakened from short slep
and inquired, Where's Bliss?' DR.. Bliss
was Immediately called, and the Pres
idenl eaid, Or / feel tired. Had you
not better tuck me 10 my little bed?' The
Presidents wound hurt him some, and
be wanted it dressed for the night. He
continues his good-humored cheerfulness
and manifests it frs quently. One good
sign, however, is that be gets a little
cross sometimes. Doctors and attend
ants say this is indeed favorable.
Arthur received visits to-day from sew
eral cabine. ministers. He says he be-
gins to feel like himself once more as the
President improves. The load of anx-
iety is removed from his mind.
Letters to Mrs. Garfield and others at
the White House proposing remedies,
making suggestions, and in many cases
from doctors offering remedies and guar
Anteeing cure, continue to pour in by
the score. These people might as well
save their lab 1r snd postage stamps.
