to submit his request to the other surgeons.
He did so, and they fatty refused to
assent to permitting any visit from
him. DR.. Bliss reported this decision to Pom
crime day or two later. DR.. Bliss says DR..
Pomerine went to the White house, went
through the reception room up stairs, and
stepped into the Presidents room while his
surgeons were absent from the room; that
while Pomerne was beside the President talk
ing to him, DR.. Reyburn entered the room and
very peremptorily invited Pomerine to leave.
DR.. Bliss said Pomerne sneaked into the Pres
ident's room after having been refused admis-
sion, and because he was turned out he has
since assailed the Presidents surgeons.

The Gland Slco
EARLY SUBJEC


WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 at
o'clock to-night he neverf mt
of the Presidents recovery than he felt then.
He said swelling of the gland had receded
materially and he perceived really no an
noyance from it, This difficulty was over
come sooner than he had any reason
to anticipate. Usually this swelling contin-
ues several days, but we seem to have subdued
the Inflammation already. The President has
not complained of the swelling to-day. AS to
his stomach, it is doing admirably. He has
taken to-day twenty-six ounces of nourish-
ment by the mouth. This consisted of kOu-
miss and cruel.
MRS. GARFIELD MAKES THIS CRUEL
from cornmeal, milk, and something else. lie
calls for it often, and Mrs. Garfield prepares
it with her own hands. The President says
she has often made it for him when he suffer-
ed with Indigestion. She knows just how to
season it to his taste. Besides, the twenty six
ounces taken into the stomach, we administer
twenty ounces of nourishment by enemala.
This consisted of beef extract and the yolks OF
four eggs. This makes forty-siX ounces OF
food the President has taken to-day, more
than taken during any day for three weeks. The
WOUND IS HEALING RAPIDLY.
We can see it closing up, and it is no
longer draw on his system. He has a
regular spontaneous action of the bowels.
Its character shows his food is well digested.
He is doing finely. At o'clock this morning
his pulse was 9S. He was sleeping then. His
skin has not break in it. 1t is smooth and
feels soft. He no longer has exhaustive
sweats. He perspires little when
sleeping, but not enough to
indicate weakness. He lasked this afternoon
"Where's Bliss. want him to give me a
BATH" He wanted Bliss to sponge him Iff.
DR.. Bliss says hs has
NOT LOST OVER SIXTY POUNDS
and one that had not seen him would not
think he had lost that much flesh, as his
beard conceals the thinness of his face. Bliss
says, too, that he is not so weak as generally
supposed He feeds himself, and when he
drinks water he takes the glass in his hand and
places it to his lips and drinks without any
difficulty. He is undoubtedly better tonight
than this morning. His wound
is not dischargng much pus,
and his surgeons are now full of hope, not to
say confidence. They say the worst danger is
over, because the weakness of the stomach has
been overcome.

Eaciting Bay on Change Big Transac-
tiOuS.

CHIDAGo, Aug. 19.-Old timers on 'change
say heavier business was transacted to-day
than ever before in one session. The excite
ment at the opening was intense, and contin-
ued throughout the morning and up to 1
o'clock. The tendency was steadily up until
about the last hour, when, with many fuctu-
ations, prices began to break, and there was a
weak feeling and lower figures. Sales of
wheat were made at S1.23% to $1.36X,
and for October at $1.24 to $1.27X.
The clique set $l.34 US the settling
price for wheat to-day, and considerable
amounts were planked down on that basis.
The feeling that grain was getting too high
seemed to be the chief reason for the drop of
&c in wheat, but the syndicate were not among
the sellers so far as could be learned. Corn
for September was excited, sales being at
62H@65Ac. October was irregular, sales at
64k @66H c, closing at 64c for September and
657sc for October. Sales of oats were at
39H @39A for October, closing at 4O1 No
failures were reported. Provisions did not
share in the advance but were exceedingly ac-
tive

PROBING DENIED

WASHINGTON, Aug 10, IL p. NAT 1l:SO
tonight DR.. Bliss was questioned concerning
the rumor in circulation to the effect that the
wound had been probed within day or two
TO the oepth of eleven inches. The doctor said
there was no truth in the rumor. Nothing
like it had entered the wound since the
instrument inserted when the surgical
operation was performed nearly two
weeks ago. A cleaning tube had
been inserted at each dressing of the
wound, and this had never entered beyond the
depth of three and half inches from the
mouth of the last incision. The doctor also
said the President was doing nicely. He had
just sponged him off, and he had gone to sleep
again. His pulse was 108, and at this hour
he is resting quietly and comfortably.
