up to p. m. had been barely perceptible.
Even after that hour, at the time of its
greatest intensity, it was much lower
than ever before The PROCESS OF
suppuration is going on in a natural and
normal way and drainage tube was in
troduced into the wound this afternoon
to the depth of three or three and one
half inches The discharge is now sub.
jected every day to microscope exam
| ination with view to ascertaining from
the fragments of tissue which it may
contain, whether it comes from the
depth of the wound or not, and if it does,
what indications it furnishes with regard
to the path of the body through which
the ball passed
Upon being asked whether the deeper
parts of the wound may not already have
begun TO heal, DR.. Reyburn said such
might be the case The sides of the
wound in the interior of the body might
have been pressed together, so as to ad-
here and thus heal without any suppu ra-
ton. The present discharges comes so
far as we can judge, from that part of
the body lying between the mouth of
the wound and rib.
DOCTORS BLISS AND BARNES.
"Doctor, when are you going to an :
nounce officially that the President is out
of danger" was asked DR.. Bliss. ''There
are some unforeseen accidents which may
occur, and there is no reason for deceiving
the public. That is why we will not say
that he is out of danger entirely. He is
booming right along, but that is no rea-
son why we should proclaim he is totally
recovered from danger, but he is pretty
safe man."
Said DR.. Barnes, to similar question,
the public should be given only facts.
There is no reason, except the possibility
of accidents, why it should not
be said the President is out of danger
Asked what he thought had taken place
in the interior of the body at the point
pierced by the bullet, DIR. Reyburn said,
we cannot tell with certainty, the wound
may perhaps have healed behind the bull
let, leaving it there imprisoned. The
inflammation which was apparent in he
patio began week ago, has almost dis
appeared, and this is a favorable lndica-
ton Furthermore, there must have
been an effusion of blood in the interior
of the body after the ball entered, and
this has all been reabsorbed. These facts,
with the steady decline in the intensity
of fever, go to show that nature is carry
ing on her work of readjustment.
MYSTERIOUS LADY IN BLACK.
The mysterious lady in black who has
been spoken of somewhat in connection
with the assassination of the President
was at the White house yesterday and
to-day. She was in search of certain
newspaper man, who she says has writ
ten her up shamefully Ithappened that
each time she called the man she enquired
for was not at the White house
THE COOLING APPARATUS
Mr.. Jennings had the larger cooling
apparatus at work last night. The ma
chine will furnish some 100000 feet of
cool air hourly. The other furnished
1e, 300 feet an hour 1t will still be used
to keep the Presidents room at uni
form temperature of Is degrees The
large machine is said to cool the corridor
upon which the Presidents room opens.
This invention has attracted a
great deal of attention, because
of its success. Commodore Shook,
chief of the bureau of steam engineers
has made elaborate drawings of it for
comparison with plans for ventilation of
ships employed in the navy Mrs. Gar
field yesterday paid visit to the base
ment to examine the machine and was
pleased with its working Dr. Woodward
keeps record of the amount Of air fur
nished and its temperature, taking data
once every hour. He visits the basement
every night.
