has been stormy and disagreable; thd
days. far as the president has been con-
cerned, may be summed up as having
been very favorable, the reports to the
contrary Notwithstanding. The presi-
dent has been as much better to-day
compared with yesterday, as he was
yesterday compared with Thursday. He
has made little gain, and has ex-
pressed himself as feeling better in ev-
cry way. The incidents of the day have
been comparatively few. All the mem
bers Of the cabinent paid their custo-
mary daily visit to the presidents quar-
ters this afternoon, and about 3 O'Clock
Secretary Window was nshered into
the sick room. The secretary, upon
entering, took the hand of the president
and informed him there was nothing
in the treasury department requiring
his attention, and after exchanging a
few other remarks withdrew. The
president simply acknowledged the Sec
retary's statement without comment.
Secretary Window appears satisfied
with the appearance Of the president,
and is Of the opinion that he is i'm
proving.
Col. Corbin says the febrile rise ap-
pears to be making its appearance later
in the evening than usual, but not 80
severe as before the president left WASH
ington. The colonel thinks the presi-
dent will remain here until the middle
or latter part of October, and then go
down the southern coast on the Talla-
poosa.
Boynton said this afternoon that the
president had q little more fever last
night, and duriug the febrile rise his
pulse was up comparatively high but
no serious apprehension was caused by
it. This morning the president was not
40 bright as yesterday and his general
condition was not SO favorable, but after
the dressing he commenced to improve,
and is now probably as well as yester-
day. There is no cause for alarm on
the unfavorable statements of the case,
as there will be some days which will
not be so favorable as others, and he
cannot be expected to get along with
out some dull days. If he has no moro
serious trouble than he has had to-day,
l shall feel perfectly satisfied.
Col. Rockwell said tonight: The
president has passed the Lest day he has
had for three weeks, and he says SO
himself. There is absolutely nothing
unfavorable in the case.
Gen. Swain said: The president is
better to-day than yesterday. Each sue
cessive day has its special improvements,
and the reports that the president is
worse are all nonsense and without
foundation. The discharge from the
wound at the evening dressing was bet
ter than for weeks.
DIR. Bliss stated this evening that the
president experienced a very good day.
He was quite confident that the ball has
become thoroughly encysted; he had
only succeeded in getting the cleansing
catheter, ten inches into the wound at
the last dressing, and was quite sure
the wound was healed from that depth
to the ball.
The evening dressing occurred at five
O'Clock to-day, an hour earlier than
usual, because the president was anx-
ious to have 1t over with, and requested
that it be done at that hour. 1t is
thought in some quarters this evening
that the fever, which has been high
for the past two nights, is the result of
malarious infection. Speaking on this
subject, Bliss said: 1--WE are going to
get rid of that febrile rise very soon.
You may predict in your dispatches
that the patient will show gain by to-
morrow. His pulse ran up quite high
last night, but remained there only
few minutes when it commenced
decreasing. 1 feel confident we
have overcome this now, and 1
doubt II hereafter the rise will occur
to any extent hereafter, The doctor
further said that he went into the pres-
idents room to-day and told him that
ne was looking better, and that he
thought he was getting well. and the
president responded with nm expres.
SION OF . similar opinion. Il was
feared that the parotId affection would
