There has been NO material change
In tho Presidents condition during tho

Tho President passed q comfortable
night, aud DR.. Bliss says IL he did not
mako good progress he is not compe
tent to judge. There is no foundation
for the rumor that an operation was
contemplated to relieve the lnng. Ag.

for a few hours today, DR.. Hamilton
vontured the opinion on the Presidents
chances Of recovery 10 a friend this
morning, in which he briefly stated in
substance that the septic condition Of
the President wilt necessarily cause
%iucsuation Of the pulse, temperature and
respiration from time to time until II Is
entirely eliminated. He considers IL
safe to say that the President will over-'I
como any disturbances which may
occur from impurities OF the blood, but
1t Is altogether probable that various
annoyauces will be- occasional before
The patient is entirely rid OF blood
poison. He believes tho President will
eventually overcome tho effects oil
poisonous blood aud after that Is ac.
coDpiished his recuperation will be
very rapid. II will probably take TO
accomplish CHS about Ave weeks. Pres.
snt indications give every reasonable
ground for believing that the President
would ultimately and be as we'll
~ before he was shot. Tho President
expressed . desire for . porter house
steak, which wAs prepared for him.
