we told you, we kept the pus sack very well

"Not in the least"
| THE BALL.
| DIR. Bliss was then questioned with regard
TO the results of Prof Bells recent expert
ments and their bearing on the Presidents
case. He said he understood the experiments
fPpfaFsd Rs Prof Bell 0i had SqessSu Sssn able Afo o
locate the ball in the flesh about
two inches. He hoped the method would
prove to be practicable and valuable, but no
application to the Presidents case would be
made at present. If the ball should
and dangaer, contingency which
he did not apprehend; it might be worth
while, even in the Presidents present con-
dition, to try the induction balance as means
of definitely locating it but as long as the
ball gives no trouble, its exact
location is not matter of vital Importance.
| 1t can be found at later day when the Presi-
dent shall have grown better and stronger.
| In reply to question in regard to the Pres
ident's physical strength, DR.. Bliss said he is
| of course weak, bat not so weak as seems
arms and legs freely ndhelps himself in turn
ing over and by clasping his hands around the
neck of one of his attendants he can support
part of his weight while being lifted. The
grip of his hands is still quite firm
| and strong. In conclusion DIR.
Bliss expressed satisfaction with
| the condition of the President tonight, and
renewed confidence in his ultimate recovery.
| DIR. Hamilton returned to New York at
NJ L,o1
or three days.
DIR. REYBURN
said at 10 o'clock that The President was rest
ing well, that his fever had declined since the
evening bulletin was issued, and that
lie felt that the President was now
beyond any immediate danger. He did not
believe another obstruction of the flow
of pus would occur, but if it did it would be
promptly relieved, and serious consequences
need not be feared. DR.. Reyburn said he was
doing as well as any person with such q
wound could De expected to do, and that he
felt very confident of his recovery, though
it will necessarily be slow.
Dr. Aenew was to arrive here at 10:40 to-
night, but has been detained by a fire on the
line of the road and will not reach here till af
ter midnight.
Mrs. Garfield and other members have re-
quested that DR.. Hamilton or Agnew shall re-
main here until the President is beyond all
danger, and when it was learned that DIR. Ag.
new could not get here in time, DR.. Hamilton
agreed to stay till he came. Members of the
cabinet join in the request that one or the 9th
er OF the consulting surgeons remain , here.
DR.. Boynton, who stays at the White house,
said tonight that it is his opinion that the
operation of yesterday has relieved HIM of the
danger he was in, and that he will now get
well. Boynton does not think there will be
any further obstruction to the discharge.
DR.. Bliss says that since the incision was
made from one ounce to Two and One-half
ounces of pls are exuded through the new
opening at each dressing of the wound.
CoNKLING's VISIT.
At a quarter past O'Clock this afternoon
Ex-senator Conkling, accompanied by Sena-
tor Jones of New York, called at the White
house. Mr. Conkling was looking in his
usual health but appeared to be little grayer
than he was when the Senate adjourned. The
two visitors were shown into the room of the
Presidents private secretary, who was the
only person in the room. DIR. Bliss was sent
for. To him Mr. Conkling said the recent
unfavorable turn in the Presidents case had
been source of anxiety to him, and be called
in person to-day to make inquiries. Upon be-
ing informed that the Presidents symptoms
this afternoon were all of the most encourag-
ing character, he expressed qualification and
asked DR.. Bliss to convey to Mrs. Garfield his
sincere sympathy and good wishes. After the
fact that ex- Senator Conkling had called was
conveyed to the President the visit was of
short duration. Coming out of the White
house ex-senator Conkling said s'i am very
glad to hear that the President is better"
AcJrw,c prpopT
PHILADELPHIA, July 25.-Dr. Agnew says:
"When / arrived at Washington found the
President looking very much the same as
when l saw him. could see very little
change in his general appearance. Iregard
the President as in about the same condition
as before the incidental feature in the abcess
showed itself. The chances of his recovery
are good but he is not removed from danger.
l think it possible that some change may
take place in his condition later which will
indicate the location of the bullet. We can't
tell anything about it just now. There may
be another chill, resulting from the condition
he has just passed through, but unless some
thing transpires growing directly out of the
presence of the bullet, there is no other COM
plication looked form the case. There were
evidences of the old wound healing, but now
he has another wound to heal. Besides, his
wonderful stamina and yigor will be greatly
to his advantage.
LOCATION OF THE BULLET.
PORT WASHINGTON, Pa, July 25.-Dr. Ag-
new is very anxious To locate the bullet, and
thinks it important that it should be removed
from the body, if it can possibly be done with
safety. He experimental yesterday upon an
old soldier from the Soldiers home who has
a bullet in his body, but was not altogether
satisfied with the electrical apparatus of Prof
Bell, the electrician. Bell thought they had
definitely located the bullet in the old soldier s
body, but DR.. Agnew did not agree with him.
Some of the physicians are beginning to think
the bullet may not have touched the liver, and
that it lodged in the muscles in the lower part
of the back. DR.. Hamilton or DR.. Aguew will
be with the President from now on, until in
dicatiOns are such as to show that there is no
necessity for their presence
The Nc,cs IN England.
LONDON, July 25.-The Standard in an edi-
torial says: "In England every incident of
President Garfield's illness is watched with in
terest. Had he been British statesman it
would have been hardly possible for the En-
glish people to have maifested truer senti-
ments of sympathy than that (which they have
extended to his family and his country. In
no part of the United States will the news that
