assured.
,bov;ng tbes the Presidents tenn
n.r'ture mas 102 $40, caused some
lite aneasiness outside the White
HIse, as that was the highest figure ii
hal vet reached. A press agent called
nT,n DIR. Woodward to ask what the
slrgeons thought Oft. He said the doc
IGs did not regard it as an alarming
syn, that the increase was caused By the
hmmering and other noises, which
srmewhat excited the President and
c.used some increase of his fever over
wat it has been at night heretofore. DR..
| WOODWARD said no other alarming symp-
TONS appeared with this increase OF
fger. The wound was doing well. The
| pts discharged was still what is termed
healthy. No signs of any abscess or
henorrhsge, or any Of the dangers that
have been feared were apparent, and
hace the doctors all agreed in attrib-
utng the increase Of temperature to the
excitement and annoyance of the Presi-
dent by noises. DR.. Woodward was
very positive as to this theory, and
hence did not feel alarmed. Other sur
geons all agreed in this opinion, and as
evidence Of its correctness the tenn Uers-
ture began TO recede by 9 O'Clock to-
night, and at 10 o'clock had fallen
6 10ths, to 102 2-10. The pulse also be-
gan to reduce, and doctors expressed
confidence that by the early morning
hours the fever will be down as low as
usual. The fever rises every night. 1t
is caused by heat and the disturbance OF
the day, and declines every night when
the atmosphere becomes cool and every
thing is entirely quiet. Surgeons are as
hopeful of the Presidents recovery to-
night as they have beer.
This morning the President said:
"Bliss, l feel better this morning, /
think am going to get we'll j" II think
so too" replied Bliss. The President is
very weak. He can move his legs q
little; that's about the only physical ex-
ertion, except talking that he Is capable
of. BE suffers considerable pain in his
legs, but does not complain much of it.
Mr.. Crump, who has been with him
nearly every hour since the shot was
fired, to-day said, "Get we'll? of course
he will. He is going to get we'll without

that the President will take a drive in
ak weeks from now. The jaundice ap-
pearsnce which was first noticed last
Friday hiss all disappeared. The Presi-
dents hands and face, which had become
yellow, have resumed the color they had
before they changed to that hue. He
was given more nourishment to-day ian
heretofore. Great care is taken that
nothing shall be administered that will
destroy the tone Of the stomach. To get
that organ out Of order, would be dan
gerous. A physician is constantly by
the Presidents bedside. He is watched
increasingly by medical attendant, AS
we'll as by nurse. Three main points
now aimed at In his treatment are: first,
to keep the system up and not let it fall
back IN any particular; second, to con-
stsntly watch the symptoms, and act
promptly as they make it advisable, and
third, to see that the President is kept as
comfortable and cheerful as possible
There is but little fear Of blood
poisoning. 1t is thought by the physi-
clans that the pus discharged from the
wound is Of such q character now as
makes it improbable that there should
be blood poisoning. The President will
talk now and then, but only say q very
lew words. Nothing like conversation
is allowed him. His principal talking is
giving directions to Mr.. Crump about
the arrangement Of his bed AID other
details of the sick room.
Messages andsresoiutions of sympathy
have been received from Yung Wing.
