Branch telegraphs as follows: DIR. Bliss
Notwithstanding the extraordinary
occurrences of tie day, was more
cheerful at s O'Clock this evening than
he was last night. Possibly, however,
his true feeling was manifested in a re-
mark he made to friend who thanked
him for his courtesy IN explaining the
case and who stated that he felt en-
couraged. DR.. Bliss said: And
should feel more encouraged too if l
knew that there were to be no more
chills." That statement is undoubted-
ly the keynote of the opinions of the
doctors tonight. They greatly fear
more chills, and it is evident from DR..
Bliss admission that the Presidents
temperature is at SO low Il point that
he is kept warm by artificial means,
and that he is closely watched every
Instant for indications of another chill.
The doctors are making tremendous
efforts to sustain the Presidents vital
ity. in the hope Of giving him strength
enough to pass through the crisis.
