 1 Anxiety for Sundays symptoms--Re- | Iieved by Favorable Day--The Pulse Still HiGh--But a Low Temperature-- Another Operation not Intended--Story l Told by the Bulletins.
 | WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-Sundays have | come to be such black letter days in the
 history of the Pregi dents case that to-day's bulletins were most anxiously awaited The first news from the sick room was to the effect that the patient had assed com fortable night. The figures on the morning bulletin showed that the fever had not all | departed, but they were so much of an i'm provement on those of yesterday morning, and even those of the evening, that they were generally received with satisfactions | This satisfaction almost became confidence l when the noon bulletin indie ated the lowest pulsation for the week and the temperature l reduced from that of the morning, assur-
 ances also being given that the wound was l doing well and that the pus was free I and healthy. Every ono began to think this was to be the best Sunday since l the shooting. So, indeed, it was taking all ! in all, but the increase of pulse during the afternoon showed what had been a fair to I marked improvement during the whole day
 So firmly had some people grappled the idea that Sunday was sure to develop some crisis in the case that the evening hour found quite gathering about the bulletin tree by the White House gate. The height of the pulse, at 1O8, was disappointment to
 many but the fact that the temperature was lower in comparison bore with it feeling of trust that all was yet well at the White House. The general feeling was that there was no cause for alarm. The physicians undertook to make no ex- plantation of the high pulse, saying that any local irritation might have caused it. They pointed with satisfaction to the favorable comparison between to nights temperature and last nights as showing an improvement for the twenty-four hours. Dr. Reyburn said this evening" "The President has made 8 sensible improvement to-day. We are perfectly satisfied" Dr. Bliss stated his opinion that all is well, that the next few days will show marked change for the better.
 THE BALL NOT TO BE CUT FOR. Dr. Bliss has almost entirely recovered ] from the effects of his pus poisoning and thinks he need expect no further annoyance therefrom. Dr. Bliss is authority for the statement that the doctors have to-day ridi- culed the report that they had decided to cut published in the despatches Thursday last and reiterates the assertion made that there was no such intention in mind.
 DIR. AGNEw SATISFIED WITH THE PROGRESS Dr. Agnew arrived about Il o'clock this morning He was present at the midday and evening examinations. This afternoon he assured Attorney General McVeagh that the President was on the gain. Tonight he told Postmaster General James that there was no cause for alarm. There have been no out side callers at the White House to-day except Senator Dawes of Massachusetts, who came alone at D. m He said he had heard in the street that the President was failing and came to learn the worst. He saw the doctors for a few moments and when he came out said, "The worst can learn is pretty good; the doctors say he is on the gain" There has been feeling of great contentment at the Mansion all day The evening bulletin has not seriously disturbed it. As long as the doctors are satisfied with the case, the family have learned not to worry.
 RETURN OF THE PRESIDENTS CHILDREN. Masters Henry and James and Miss Mollie returned tonight with Secretary Hunt and his family on the Despatch, from Fortress Monroe. Nearly all the members of the official | family have now taken some recreation dur | ing the excitement except Mrs. Garfield and Private Secretary Brown. Mrs. Garfield rides out to the Soldiers Home once in while but | is never absent more than 8 few hours. MT. Brown is almost constantly at his office at | tending to his duties about the Mansion. THE WATCHERS IN THE SICK ROOM The watch by the sick bed, now that MT. ! F. G. sl-1 I Edson, Dr. Boynton, General Swain and Colonel Rockwell, each sitting up in turn ! and each pair alternating during the day | The President rested as well as usual, and ate | quite as much solid food as yesterday He went to sleep at the usual time this evening Dr. Howard and Dr. Bliss are on duty to- I night. Dr. Agnew will remain in the city
 several days.
