WAsaIsGToN, August 2Sd-S P. M,-From
the best information obtained at this hour,
ipcIulinv two of the attending physicians, it
NAV bs sail that the condition of the Presi-
dent has not charged in any respect since
Yesterday afternoon. He is taking increased
Quantities Of nourishment, and this circum-
seaace OF course affords rational grounds for
feeling Of encouragement; but the same
uncertainty which prevailed yesterday with
regard TO the future course of the glsndulsr
Inflammation prevails to-day, and there is still
some question whether the patient can take
nourishuent enough to sustain his strength
through the present critical stage of his case.
The Indications ara that he can, but until
the-e is more decided change than has yet
deC,1.fvd. confident predictions must be with
held. II can only be said that the patient is
certainly no worse in any respect. and that
his ability to take nourishmens IL steadily
increasing.
Review Of the Day.

day than was generally anticipated. The

night seemed 80 prepare the public for the
worst, ard slthoug h the official bulletin this
morning was not unfavorable a general feel
ing Of anxiety aud apprehension prevailed
both at the Executive Mansion and through

alarm, however, the real facts OF the case
hardly furnished sufficient Justification. The
condition Of the President was thu subject of
grave anxiety to she surgeons, his attendants
and Mrs. Garfield, but not more 30 than yes

That afternoon there was really greater rea-
son for encouragement than at any time

his condition, to that extent at least, became
more koTseful. Without adequate nouFish-
