evening there was a slight rise in the pulse and

o Yesterday was substantially a. Repetition Of
the day before in the Presidents case, except
that the fever came on later in the evening,
and was not SO marked. The temperature
through the day was normal, aud the pulse
ranged from 80 to So. The patient said that he
felt decidedly better, and g expressed "a
desire for more solid food He also said
that he felt stronger, and asked to he
propped up in bed for while. This re-
quest was granted BY the surgeons and for
half an hour or so the President, supported by
pillows, sat up nearly erect in bed. This
change of position gave him considerable re-
lief, and, upon lying down again, he fell
asleep All his surgeons speak most hopefully
of him. None of them really fear an abscess,
though they are prepared for it should one form
DR.. Bliss said that the wound is healing slowly,
but fast enough, and the surgeons do not now
fear an abscess. The fever declines so quickly
every evening that the doctors now attribute
much of the rise in temperature to the dress

and the President seems to dread it more in
the evening. as

unmarked by even the slightest bad feature.
So much confidence is felt in his continued
progress to health that. Secretary Blaine has
informed Minister Lowell, at london, that
he will discontinue sending any more official
dispatches. DIR. Bliss believes that, with the
same progress toward convalescence continued
for short time longer, there is no reason why
the President should be unable to leave his

The locationsof the bullet has been deter
mined with such exactness, as to confirm the
original opinion Of DR.. Bliss, which was that it
had found lodgment in the front wall of the
abdomen. d Bells indicator. the new ma
chine invented to detect the whereabouts of
bullets buried out of sight, was given. a trial
yesterday, and, although the machine was not
in perfect working order, it indicated the pres
ence of the ball in the front wall of the abdo-
men about five inches below and to the right
of the naval, and just over the groin. It is con-
sidered by no means certain that the removal of
the ball will be necessary, as it is giving no
trouble at present. Another and more thor
ough triallwith the indicator is to be had, and
even when the precise location of the ball
shall have been determined thereby it is prob
able that n iT1pIciNn will hl made tn

will be in no hurry to subject the sufferer to
this new ordeal. if. indeed, it is to be suffered
