DIV to question whether another pus cavity
is likely to form. and bring about recurrence
of the alarming symptoms of yesterday, DR..
Reyburn said 81 cannot answer positively,
but as the pus now has free egress l do not
| think it probable that another cavity will
form Being asked whether there are or had
| been symptoms in the Presidents case of
pyamia or poisoning, DR.. Reyburn
said None whatever. The rigor of
course may be symptom of pyamia, but 1t
is also a symptom of various other compll-
cations, and it does not point to py9mia IN
the present case. The pus continues healthy
and the characteristic symptoms of py@nla
are wanting. You may say, upon my. au-
thority, that no indications of blood-poison-
| ing have been observed, and we have no rea-
son to expect any," In conclusion, DIR. Key
burn said the Presidents condition and
symptoms tonight are more favorable and
encouraging than at any time since the chill
of yesterday morning.
The Treatment of the President.
CHICAGO. July 24th.-The following are
from Washington specials: DR.. Reyburp,
| being asked whether the President was strong
enough to resist such shock as two chills,
| said "The President is certainly not
strong. He is very weak indeed. He is not
as strong as he is generally supposed to be.
He has to be lifed on sheets, and whenever
we wish to give him glass of water we have
to raise his head. Certainly the President is
| not strong.
The wiseacres have begun to attack the
doctors. One prominent gentleman said !:
"There has been entirely too much politics
and newspaper reading in the sick-room.
| The President should be kept perfectly quiet,
and not be allowed to talk about outside
matters. l have no doubt his increased fever
last night and the chill this morning were
due in great measure to the mental excite
ment which the President has undergone. 1t
was wrong to tell him about the New York
elections, and set him thinking about such
matters"
Others condemned the treatment, and said
'The doctors wore entirely wrong about the
location of the bullet. There is no doubt the
attendants on the President have been too
confident of his recovery, and allowed him
more privilege than his condition warranted.
They made mistake last Sunday in allowing
him to eat such hearty breakfast, and ever
since they have restricted his diet"
The talk about the necessity of finding the
bullet has taken fresh start. Professr Bell,
who has been conducting experiments with a
view of ascertaining the location of the bull
let by electricity, said last evening that the
apparatus was nearly completed, and that
| they had been able to detect the presence of
| lead at depth of three inches. He thinks
that with improved apparatus this distance
can be increased.
| The Presidents Family Physician.
New YORK, July 24th.-The IribaRe's
| Washington correspondent interviewed DR..
Boynton, the Presidents family physician,
last night, who said: 1--WE are feeling very
good tonight. Things have not been going
very well for three days, so that the Presl-
dent has evidently not been as well. After

He was pretty well tired out in the afternoon,
and very likely he had slight chill in his sleep,
but he don't know it. We are very certain
of it now, and he had restless bad night
| He walked in the morning yesterday feeling
badly, and before noon he had that chill. 1t
was quite severe one. and he shook for a
long time. That was accompanied by vomit-
| ing a number of times, and throwing up
green matter, and of course his pulse
ran up. At one time it reached 132
| His temperature reached 104, which
was rather alarming. We of course looked
for an accumulation of pus and an abscess
somewhere. The fever was followed by pro-
| fuse sweating. In the afternoon another
chill came on, and this also was followed
by exhaustion and accompanied by vomiting.
Coming to dress the wound at night an &C.
cumulation of pus was discovered in the

back bone three inches long and perhaps three
inches wide. That was drawn off through
the old wound, and the President was greatly
relieved at once ; SO much so that Drs. Ag-
| new and Hamilton did not think it best to
see him last night. l sat up with him until
! II o'clock, and then went to bed. Shortly
after left him he had another severe chill,
with vomiting and other serious symptoms.
He then began to perspire profusely, and this

wound"
The Cooling Apparatus Removed.
WASHINGTON, July 24th.-Dr. Agnew has

What Bob Insersoil Has TO Say About
Guitteau.
| WASHINGTON, July 2ith.-Bob Ingersoll
said of Guitteau, whom he knows II think
Guitteau wanted office and was refused. He
became importunate. He was substantially
put out of the White House. He became
malicious He made up his mind to be re-
venged This, in my judgment, is the dag
nosis of his case since he has been in Jail. He
never said one word about being put out of

worthless wretch. infinitely egotistical. He
imaeines that he did great deal toward the
election of Garfield, and upon being refused,
the serpent of malice coiled in his heart, and
he determined to be revenged. That is al"
