poisoning. In reply to a question
asked by a reporter of the asso.
ciated press at noon, DIR. Reyburr
said: "We have examined hi:
lungs carefully every day, an6
have found them healthy, and that
pus cavities have formed there is
entirely false. No complications
whatever in the presidents case
and no unfavorable signs. He
continues to do WELL"
12:S0-At the morning dressing OF
the presidents wound an additional
point of suppuration was recogniz.
ed in his swollen face which, being
incised, gave exit to some healthy
looking pus. Nothing new has
been observed in the con-
dition of the. wound. The usual
daily rise of temperature has not
yet occurred and his general condi-
ton has not changed since morning.
Temperature 98-6, respiration Is.

WASHINGTON, August 29. - The
following was sent this afternoon TO
Mr. Lowell, London: The president
had a good nights rest and is hay
ing good day. At this hour, 2 p.
NJ, his pulse is 103, showing "A de-
crease from the forenoon. For
many days past his pulse has shown
decided increase. In the forenoon
the respiration was normal. Other
symptoms are reported by the ply
sicians to be favorable.
BLAINE, Secretary.
2:30 p. Mn an interview with q
reporter of the associated press, at
1905 p. NJ, DIR. Bliss said the presI-
dent is going along much more
evenly to-day than yesterday. The
extreme range of the pulse since
morning has not exceeded six de-
grees and is now from 1O3 TO IO4.
The patient has had little fever to-
day. In reply to questions in regard
to the reported accumulation of pus
the::doctor said: We have examined
the lungs every day and they have al
ways been and are now in a healthy
condition. The respirator murmur
this morning was clear and no indi-
cation of any abnormal symptom.
The doctor was then questioned
with regard to the reported exis-
tence of the pus in the knee Joint.
Who invents these absurd stories,
he inquired. There is no pus in the
knee Joint, and any other pus could
not form and be retained without at
once affecting the pulse and tenn
perature.
What is the condition of the CLAN
dular swelling, asked the reporter?
Has it decreased any in size?
1t has. The outline of the gland
is now perceptible, and it is dis
charging freely of pus. We took
out at least a teaspoonful of pus
this morning.
Does the patient continue to take
food well?
Perfectly. He had some chicken
broth to-day and a piece of milk
toast, and seemed to enjoy them
both.
Do you think he is better to-day
than he was yesterday?
L certainly do. His progress to-
day is much more even than it was
yesterday. The expression of his
face and the character of his pulse
have further improved, and he has
thus far had no fever whatever. His
present condition is much more IA
vorable than il was at this hour
yesterday.
$50 p. M.-The daily rise of the
presidents temperature began later
this afternoon than yesterday, but
rose $40 of a degree higher. The
frequency of his pulse is now the
same as at this hour yesterday. He
has taken liquid food prescribed
during the day, and had besides,
during the morning, small piece of
milk toast. At the evening dress
ing pretty free discharge ofhealthy
pus took place from the parotid
swelling, which is perceptibly di-
minishing in size. The wound
manifests no material change. His
pulse is ITO, temperature 100, respi-
ration 10.
UNOFFICIAL BULLETIN.
GAO P. M.-Dr. Bliss reports at this
hour that the result of the evening
examination was highly satisfactory.
The febrile rise did not begin until
about fifteen minutes past four this
afternoon, and, although his tenn
perature and pulse are a little
higher than they were last night
the former being above 100 and the
latter 110-the fact is accounted for
by the presence of a considerable
accumulation of pns in the glandu-
lar swelling, which was removed at
the evening dressing. The gland
looks much better tonight than it
has at any time since it became
dangerous feature of the case. The
wound is also doing extremely well,

eral condition is still further inn
proved DR.. Baxter is reported to
have said this afternoon, that.if the
president stomach holds out, and If
he is properly cared for, he will
probably recover.
WASHINGTON, EXECUTIVE MAN
SION, August 30-10:15 A. M.-The
president enjoyed another good
nights rest and it is thought he will
start soon what bids fair to be
another good day. He slept well.
His stomach still continues TO per-
form its functions properly, and the
parotid swelling is progressing
favorably. His pulse, temperature |
and respiration, as compared with |
yesterday morning, are about the |
same. The slight increase in the |
frequency of his pulse is thought |
to be due to an accumulation of pus |
in the other portion of the gland.
The swelling was observed |
This morning by DR.. Bliss, who made
another incision and released thed
pent up pus. On the continuance
Of these favorable symptoms an
other day of progress is predicted.
