continues to be favorable. Pulse. lOS:

EXECUTIVE MANSION-l p. M.-The
slight increase i'll the pulse and temper
atllre of the President since morning is
attributed by the attending surgeons to
the beat of noon and to the process OF
suppurarion which is now going on in
the wound near the surface of the body.
This process, which is accompanied by
Il slight discharge of pus, is entirely
natural and Is an expected and ncccS-
sary result of the injury ut this stage OF
the ease.
EXECUTIVE MANSIoN--3 p. M.-The
following telegram was sent by the at
tending surgeons to the consulting sur
geons-Mcssrs. Agncw and Hamilton
| this afternoon.
The Presidents condition has not
changed materially since our telegram
to you yesterday. During the afternoon
and evening he was again troubled with
acid eructation and the administrati ~
of uutriment was again suspended tol
several hours. One quarter OF gram
of morphia was administered hypoder
mica!ly at $50 p. H., and followed at
once by tranquil sleep. Toward md
night, however, he became restless ano
complained good deal of muscular
soreness in the feet and Of pain in The
ankle joints, so that we We're on th'
point of administering an additiona
anodyne when he fell asleep. and OF
awakening was so free from pain that i
was not given. After one a. m.he pass
ed the night TRANQUILITY, sleeping com
posedly much of the time. AT intervals
since shat hour he has taken an ounce OF
the albumcnized chicken broth, alter
mating with an ounce of milk, to which
a teaspoonful of very old and eXcellen
rum was al led. All this had been re
tanned, as well as five egrains of sulphat'
of uuinia taken this morning at eight
O'Clock.
The ycllowish tinge of the skin men
toned in our last telegram mas sen,iblA
diminished. When the antiseptic dress
ing was renewed this morning th
wound was found to be dischargins
healthy looking pus. The reaction ac
companying the establishment of sup
puration is, as might be expected, mark
ell by slight rise of temperature AM
pulse as compared with the correspond
ing hours of yesterday. This, however
we do not regard as untavorable unde
the circumstances, and should not b
surprised if it continued through thi
a tternoon, and were repeated in the al
ternoon anu evening for several days
The record since our last telegram is Il
follows:
Yesterday, at half-past eight p. m

EXECUTIVE MANSION-11.45 p. III
Although the pulse and temperature
the President have been rather highe
to-day than yesterday, on account 9
, the process of suppuration which
! now going or in the wouni, he ha, ha'
a comfortable day There has been II
return of the acidity of the stomac
, caused yesterday, it is thought, by tn
oatmeal Cruel which he ate, and he ha
not suffered as he did at intervals las
t night from pain in his legs and ankles
He has taken nourishment at short in
tervals and in larger quantities than o
any previous day, and has retained
without any uneasiness OF the stomach
He complains of feeling rather tired t'
night, but is otherwise comfortable
. The snppuration whicn is going on i
the wound will probably continue, ID
, Reyburn says, several days, togetht
with the slightly increased fever whic
it causes. 1t is however, a pertcctl
l natural process, and one which was al
r ticipated at the present stage of frccover.
: There is a certain amount Of injure
tissue along the track Of the ball, nea
the external opening of the wount
/, which must come away in the shape I
il discharge. The wound has bee
twice antiseptically dressed today, an
the patient has been repeatedly sponge
l all over with a weak solution Of ca
y bulic acid in water, applied by means
: q hand atomizer. These spray an
sponge baths have been % source ofgrei
1 retreshment and have added very mi
+ terially TO the Presidents comfort. III
i President at this hour is Sleeping quie
ly and the attending physicians repo
8 that his symptoms are in every wa
/. favorable and satisfactory. If his 1
, covery were assured, they say, hissym
