PROGRESSING FAyoRABLY.

The President has passed another favorable
day, and the hope that he will recover has al
most grown into confidence. The Jennings
system of reducing the temperature Of the
sick-room has worked admirably. The tenn
perature yesterday was about 10 degrees.
The change has been very grateful to
the patient, and he has expressed his
thanks to the inventor. He asked for solid
food again yesterdly, and was given piece of
toast, which he p rtook Of. No gastric disturb

STILL GAINING. s
WASHINGTON, July 10.
President Garfeld's condition yesterday was
an improvement over that of Monday, when g
feverish attack IN the afternoon created some
alarm among the medical staff. The fever
symptoms, indicated by an increased tenn
peratura, returned in modified form, but, be
ing considered a feature Of the case
did not cause anxiety. 1t is generally allowed
by his physicians that satisfactory progress il
being made, although fears are entertained
that weeks may elapse before the President is {
we'll man. The patients pulse, respiration anc
temperature increase every afternoon and de
crease every morning, but from day to day
they show little change. But whatever
change they do undergo is in the RICH
direction. This fact, together with
the favorable suppuratlon of the wound. ana
othsr symptoms, all afford ground for a hop
for the Presidents recovery that gror's stronger
day by day. Milk punch, consisting of twenty
| four parts of milk and one part of punch, con
tinues to be the chief article of his diet, whil
milk toast serves as an entree. anC
there are relieves of sulphate o
quinine and morphine. Yesterday h
had some perfectly natural sleep, not having
taken any morphine since the previous day
| AS it has been found necessary to administer
small amount of morphine hypoderuiically ev

fact that he has had sleep without tn
assistance of drug is decidedly en-
couraging. Last evening the Presiden
