mitted by his attending physicians to be more
unfavorable than it has been during the day,
but the changess not regarded as especially
alarming, for the reason that the increased
pulse and temperature which are its most
marked features were observed about the same
time Saturday evening and last evening and
were anticipated tonight. To-day, too, has
been extremely warm and close, and the Presi-
dent has been more or less restless from that
cause and from pain due to the laceration of
the nerves leading to the feet. The attending
physicians are very reticent in expressing their
positive opinion upon the facts stated in to-
nights official bulletin, but they are hopeful
that the temperature will fall and the pulse
grow less rapid during the night as was the
case last evening, and that the condition of
the patient tomorrow morning will
not be worse than it was this morning. Should
these anticipations be realized the attending
physicians say they will have very strong hopes
of the Presidents final recovery.
Since the date of the last official bulletin
(7.45) his temperature and pulse have slightly
decreased, which is taken as an indication that
the views above expressed are not without
foundation. At the present all that can be
positively said is that the situation of the
President is critical, but there are indications
of an abatement of the unfayorable symptoms.
Postmaster Geneaal James and Secretary
Hunt express themselves as confidently hope
full that the Presidents condition will improve
during the night as it did last night, and that
there will then be very strong reasons for ex-
pecting his final recovery
