GOOD NEWS THIS MORNING.
HE PRESIDENT BETTER.
HE PASSED A COMFORTABLE NIGHT.
The DOCTORS SAY HE Is now DOING WE'LL.
THE WOUND DIsCaaRGIYG PROFUsELY
A Happy Change at the White House.

The deep feeling of anxiety so apparent all
the city had disappeared this morning. There
IL no better barometer to Indicate the Pres-
dents condition than the faces of those
about the White House and the general
air that the place wears by them the eye can
tell at once whether things are favorable or I'M
favorable without asking question. This
morning everybody was bright and cheerful
the reflex from the sick room and opinions of
the doctors. Nobody was gloomy. Nobody
wore the anxious look of yesterday. The happy
change had its effect, in that there was very lit
tie inquiry as to the Presidents condition. Once
more the doctors come from the sick room with
out being seized on by twenty or more people
who have been waiting for just such an Oppor
tuEty to hear from the sick bed. Drs. Reyburn
and Bliss were with the President all last night
They took little maps as the President slept
sound.y Their sleep was light, and they awoke
without the slightest trouble.
DR. BLISS SAID THIS MORNING,
as he came out of the sick room, that everything
began to look bright again. When asked about
the appearance Of the wound when dressed this
morning he said that there had been a good dis
charge-what he called unusual discharge of
pus. The flow had not been as great as
before the pus cavity was formed. The matter
collected for twenty-fOur hours was then drawn
Off, the only discharge in the meantime being
the small continuous flow. The discharge this
morning, Dr. Bliss said. though not large was
satisfactory and healthy.
THE PRESIDENT PASSED A VERY COOP NIGHT
getting good deal of sleep after 12 o'clock. and
resting comfortably before that hour. There
was little fever bat it was not marked As
compared with the night before it was as a quiet
rest is to night Of pain and tossing. When
the cotton was removed from the mouth of the
wound this morning. it was found to be satur-
ated with pus. showing the continuous discharge
that was so satisfactory before the formation of
the pus cavity. The President is now taking
lime water and milk with beef juice over toast
at regular intervals.
