to the President, returned this morning from
Ocean Grove, where he has been for the past
twelve days. He came back to allow Charley

Unofficial Bulletin-2 P. NJ.
THE PRESIDENT FREE FROM FEVER AND RESTING
QUIETLY.
The very favorable symptoms noted in the last
official bulletin still continue. The President is
free from fever and resting quietly. DR.. Agnew
returned to Philadelphia to-day, but DR.. Hamil-
ton will take his place here tonight or to-mor-
row morning.
The Presidents pulse. temperature and respi-
ration have not gone up this afternoon The
indications are-no examination was made-that
his symptoms are little more favorable at this
hour than at the 12 o'clock examination. As
the day grows on the cheerfulness around the
White House increases. The semi-regular re-
ports from the sick room say that the President
is doing very well and that everything continues

THAT SENSATIONAL STORY
about the President being at one time regarded
as about to die, and the Vice PRESIDENT being on
hand with . justice of the Surfeme Court ready
to swear in the new President, lacks only one
essential element-that of truth. Since the two
days Immediately succeeding the shot of Guteau
the doctors have never despaired Of the Presi-
dents life, and certainly nothing that indicated
the slightest foundation for the story above men
toned has ever occurred.
3 P.M.-The Crisis Believed to Have Been
Passed.
Gen. Swain said this afternoon that the Presi-
dent was apparently no weaker now than he
was two or three days before the relapse. At 8
o'clock this afternoon the patient was doing very
well. DR.. Bliss said there was no change since
the issuance of the official bulletin
at twelve O'clock and that the condition
of the President continued to be as favorable
as was indicated by that very satisfactory official
There had been up to the hour
mentioned no fever, nor any appearance of any.
1t is now thought that the President has passed
the most dangerous point of his illness, and that
as is usual in the history of such cases there will
be steady improvement, unchecked except by
some unexpected complication that may arise.
But FEW CALLERS TO-DAY.
NJ L "A
son, Hon. T. O. Howe, who has just returned
from his duties as member of the international
monetary conference, and Representative Dezen-
dOrf were among the callers at the White House
to-day. Outside of these and the representa-
tives of one or two foreign legations and the
members of the Cabinet there were but few
callers to-day.

the Presidents condition is greatly improved.
Pulse down to 80, temperature and respiration
normal, and appetite good. Hissleep last night

(Signed.) BLAINE, Secretary.
MRS. GARFIELD NOT ILL.
When asked what truth there vas in the
that Mrs. Garfield had suffered ex-
tremely from the effects of the strain upon her
mind during the past few days, DR.. Boynton,
while admitting that she had been anxious, said
there was no foundation whatever for the
report which had gone abroad to the effect
that she was ILL., '.In fact" the doctor con-
tinued, ''Mrs Garfield is feeling brighter and
in better spirits this morning than at any time
since she was sick. You may say that she went
to ride last eve ming and returned feeling re-
freshed, and that her husband's present condition
is very encouraging to her."
THE MAN WITH A PATENT SUCTION BOTTLE.
There was man at the White House gates
to-day who did not get in. He had a bottle
with an arrangement, somewhat complex, at
tached. By the use of this apparatus he was
confident that all the pus and all particles of the
broken rib could by suction be taken from the
President, and that after its application the
he would at once begin to recover and rapidly
resume his former health.

Presidents condition found their way to New

New York and the ring in the scheme made big
profits by gambling on the Presidents chances
