are about the same. The slight increase In
the frequency of the pulse is thought to be
due to an accumulation of pus in another
part of the glandular swelling, which was
observed this morning by DR.. Bliss, who
made still another incision and released the
pent-up pus.

EXECUTIVE MANSION, August 3Oth-2P. p. NJ.
In reply to questions Colonel Rockwell said
this afternoon: The Presidents condition to.
day is about as it was yesterday. He has
fully held his OVID, but has not gained per
ceptibly in strength. No especial Importance
Is attached to the high pulse shown by the
noon bulletin. 1t is attributed principally to
the circulation caused by the cutting of the
parotid swelling this morning. AS long as
the gland continues to be a source of almost
constant disturbance we must expect these
fluctuations of the pulse. Since the noon
bulletin, however, the Presidents pulse has
gone down again to ITO. We think he is
doing well.
