He is Better To-Day than at
any Time Since He
was Shot.
The Wound Healing Above the In
cision and Free Discharge Of
Pus Reported.
To Permit the Taking up Of the
Carpet the President was
To-Day Moved to An.
other Room.
DOING sp1ENp1p1Y,

Washington, July 2s.-The president
is doing splendidly to-day. He has no
fever and the surgeons now consider the
fever broken for good. The wound con-
tinues to drain thoroughly. He has a
good appetite and his food digests. He
was removed to another room on the
north side of the corridor. DIR: Hamil-
ton arrived from New York this morning
and at once said the president was i'm
proving as fast as possible.
CONTINUED IMPROVEMENT.
Executive Mansion, July 2S-Col.
Rockwell says the president is decidedly
better this morning than he has been at
any time since he was wounded; that at
the morning dressing there was a free
and healthy discharge Of pus from the
wound, and that portion of the original
wound above the incision was observed
to have commenced healing.
REMOVED TO ANOTHER ROOM.
The surgeons, after consultation on
the subject this morning, concluded that
the removal of the heavy carpet which
now covers the floor of the presidents
chamber would be beneficial, and con-
sidering the brightness of the morning.
with the perfectly fresh and dry atmos-
phere, together with the favorable con-
dition of the patient, it was decided to
make the change at once. The surgeons
maintain that the carpet absorbs the
impurities which invariably exist in a
sick chamber, and that it is the recepta.
Gle for the secretion Of dust. The presi.
dents bed was carefully removed from
his own room to the room Immediately
across the hall, where he is now resting
quietly.
I After the carpet is taken up the floors
will be carefully busted and a fire kin.
died in the crate for the purpose of Sc
curing thorough ventilation. The pres
ident will not be taken back to his cham
ber for several hours, for the purpose OF
obviating the sounds of footsteps on the
most frequented parts of the room. II
is considered that this arrangement will
render the chamber much more refresh
ing to the patient and that it will be de-
cidedly more comfortable. Had it been
practicable, the doctors say they woult
have ordered the change made before.
The attending surgeons say the presi
dent has not looked SO we'll since he wa
wounded as he does this morning; tina
he is delighted with the change which il
beng made in his room and feels greatl,
refreshed.
K1RKwooD's STATEMENT.
Washington, July 2S.-Secretary Kirk
wood at l 80 p. m. said the president wa
decidedly better than since the secont
day of July. The presidents disabilit.
