new YORK. July 12.-Dr Frank Fl.
Hamilton this morning states that the
latest symptoms in the Presidents case
Indicate nothing but gradual improve
ment. Referring TO the Washington
dispatch printed IN the E'rsning Post.
Saturday evening 10 which the fresi.
dents symptoms were spoken of as
more serious than the public supposed
DR. Hamilton says the account was ex.
sggerated. Garfield was not q well
man by any means, but the present
symptoms were not alarming to the
surgeons. More precautions were tax
en- 10 prevent excitement in the case OF
the President than in an ordinary case
and these precautions are what may
alarm laymen. The President is get
ting along well. and nature may be ex-
peoted to do oil that remains to be
done. There will be no necessity for
probing unless the healing of the
wound is not healthfnl and indicates
internal abscess or concealed suppurs-
tion. If the healing Of the wound
seemed to be natural and healthful,
nothing need DO done.
DR. Samuel d Weiss said this morn
ing that q good deal of misspprehen-
lion existed concerning the objects of
his experiments upon Q dead body in
the dissecting room Of the University
Medical College. He did not fire balls
in the body in order to see if such balls
would make mortal wound. Ali that
he desired was some notion Of the pen.
etrating power Of such ball when de-
fiectsd by the bone. OF course it is
impossible to know what direction the
DETECTING ball was given by its con-
tact with Garfield's tenth rib. The
object of his experiments was to find
out whether a ball of that size could
enter the body at the spot where Gar.
field was wounded and be DETECTED in
such way as not to injure the perito-
uenm and liver. The conclusions
reached were that such thing was
perfectly possible. / have done with
such experiments, having accomplished
all that set out to do, and shown to
the satisfaction OF DIR Hamilton and
other surgeons that it was possible for
the ball to enter the body between the
tenth and eleventh ribs, four inches
from the spidsl column and yet pro-
duce no fatal injury.

rally SO where they can get their reg

to earn their living in an honest wav.
These steam fishers can 60 farther out
to sea than our surf boats and should
allow our surfmen to have their little
fishing grounds to themselves. They
have never objected to any one catch,
ing all be can, but they have q right to
protest against driving away food ishes
