Rcrielc Of the Day.


WASHINGTON, Sept. Public confidence
in the permanent character OF the Presidents
recent improvement was much shaken this
morning by All unfortunate wording of the
first official bulletin of the day, referring to
the Slight febrile rise which took place last
evening. the rise of which, if it had not
been officially commented on, would have
passed undetected. The surgeons IN the
morning bulletin said this condition
was unaccompanied by rigors or
sweat. The dread of the technical term rigor,
surgical term equivalent for the word chillS,
seemed to cause everywhere vague appre-
hension. The surgeons corrected all these
apprehensions in the evening bulletin.
The range OF pulse was rather
higher this day than yesterday but
until after 4, no appearance of fever, and
his general condition showed further slight
improvement. He chewed a piece of beef
steak this morBing and swallowed the Juice,
and at intervals later in the day had chicken
stewed in milk and plate of soup, beside the
usual quantity of beef extract and milk por-
ridge.
AN EXCELLENT DAY.
DR.. Bliss saws the President had very ex-
cellent day. The range of his pulse has been
rather higher than yesterday, but not enough
to cause uneasiness, and his general condition
indicates a slight Improvement He contin-
ues TO take nourshment we'll, and his whole
expression and appearance are better than yes
terday. There is more improvement, perhaps,
in the gland than in anything else. The
swelling decreased very much in size, and the
gland is assuming a natural appearance and
size. There is hardly any distortion now in
the contiguration of the face. We have dis
continued poulticing. OF course all the dead
cellular tissue will eventually come away, but
it will be unnecessary 10 destroy the life that
still exists by too much poultcing. The
swelling has six openings, including those
into the mouth and ears, four by
incision and two by spontaneous
pus in the gland is sufficient cause for a good
deal of the febril disturbance. The Presidents
right eyelid is slightly effected by the fact that
five pair of nerves run through the parotid
and are slightly squeezed by the Inflammation
But this slight infection shows improvement.
don't think you could notice it. The wound
has not changed much i'll appearance. The
quantity of pus discharged from it this
morning was not as large as l expected, al
though the pus itself was of healthy char
acter. The wound Is healing and his stomach
is performing its functions fairly well. He
takes all the f1od now he ought to have, and
it seems to be well digested. He had a good
movement of the bowels this afternoon and
all
INDICATIONS APPEARED FAVORABLE.
DR.. Bliss, talking of the removal of the
President, said civil engineer, who has given
the subject much thought, suggests we get
one of the best railway coaches which can be
obtained, remove the seats and suspend bee
in the center by four ropes fastened al
the top by strong spiral springs, which should

He suggested further that the cal

so 1t will run more smoothly witt
less jumping, and that it be put in front O.

fitted car as well as anywhere else: Ii tn,

subject will be fully considered and discusset
tomorrow.
