The Presidents condition has not
materilly changed from yesterday, ac-

physicians. To-dxy's mor.inp and

"If the doctors had aGo' hing got d 10
say" Is the common remark, "they
would be sure to say IT,"
The apparent effort to smooth down
the worse condition Is also noted. For
instance, In the language of 10. nights
bulletin "thc afternoon febrile iiss is
about the same as yesterday" where's
- the bulletin Of last night shows d
pulse four degrees lower than tonight
and lower temperature. Also, natu-
rally enough, all these points are
eagerly discussed, and q more gloomy
feeling appears to rule tonight than ut
any time since the unusual symptoms
yesterday morning. The bulletins are
everywhere surrounded by little kuols
Of people, who linger In the vicinity to
catch the chance comment Of others
who come to see. Carriages are
driven up at the curb while some oc
cupant steps down to learn the latest,
re-enters and is drawn away to make
room for the next. At the tree in
front OF the Executive Mansion has
been gathered about score OF persons
all the evening studying the figures by
the flicker of tbe street lamps and
looking wistfully towards the White
House.
There il decidedly feverish feeling
abroad. This is heightened by the
usual evil rumors. One of these 10 the
statement that it has been found ne
cessary to perform another operation
on the President and that thus will be
done in the morning. Some say this
Ia to be cut for the ball, while Others
are apparently content with another
cut for pus. 1t Is Of no use that the
doctors deny the existence of any
foundation for these rumors. After
the circumstances Of The last incision
there Is q disposition to discredit the
doctors. This Is given as the general
public feeling, which follows the issu-
ance Of to-nigbt's bulletin.
The unofficial reports from the White
House are still favorable. While the doc.
tors are more than usually reticent there
are others willing to talk for them. = hey
report the patient as passing v ry COM
f,rtable day. He was able to be propped
| up awhile this morning and took fair
| allowance OF nourishment, composed OF
milk toast, chicken and potatoes aud raw
onions. The latter has been added to
the Presidential bill OF fare at the Piesi-
dents request. Some imported ones we're
furnished yesterday, but he wanted a
genuine Western onion of the Ohio
brand, and IL was served sliced ia vine
gar. He bas slept Off and on dur ne the
day, paying very little attention TO any
thing going on around HIM. This indiff-
erence 10 the natural incident of his ex-
tIeme weakness. The possibility oi
another operation 10 regarded with con-
siderable uneasiness In view Of the Diff
Guilty experienced In recovering from the
effects Of the last, There Is nothing from
the doctors TO Indicate that fears are co.
tertalned OF another pus cavity, though
IL 10 admitted that the wound 10 not
drained satisfactorily, The public anxiety
to night 10 great, despite the favorable
| reports,
