WASHINGTON, July 27-The President
has passed a very comfortable day and
is having a very good night of it. All
his symptoms during the day have been
most satisfactory, and they continue to-
night. He went to sleep at nine
O'Clock this evening ard slept quietly
for over an hour. There was no fever. DR..
Bliss said at eleven O'Clock to night that
the President was very comfortable, and
that he regarded to dav as the best Of the
illness of the President.
"There has as yet been no fever" he
said. 81 will content myself with the pre-
diction that the President is going to get
well. The recent complications have been
met and overcome, and while we do not ex-
p9ct further complications, we think the
patients condition and the wound is so
thoroughly under control that, should they
arise, We would be able to counteract them.
In short every symptom and every indica-
tiou are again of the brightest character.
Before DR.. Aguew left the city this morn
ing, he told Mrs. Garfield that, in his
opinion, the Presidents condition was
more than satisfactory, and that he thought
he would get well. At twelve o'clock all
was well. There was every assurance that
there would be a repetition OF the most
favorable night of the illness
Dr. Hamilton arrived from New York at
1910. He did not visit the President, as he
was then sleeping, but being told by the
attending doctors about the condition of
the President, ne said that he was the more
reassured that there would be final re-
covery.
There has been no excitement in the city
to day. The stock iObbing reports of yes
ierdaY have been again attempted, but the
city aud also Wall street is quiet as far as
the Presidents condition is concerned.

THE LOST GROUND RECOVERED.
11:3O P. M.-The marked Improvement in
/ the Presidents condition, which began to
be apparent yesterday, has continued
steadily throughout the day, and, in the
judgment of the attending surgeons, the
patient has fully recovered the ground lost
by the recent relapse. He has taken more
nourishment to day than in any equivalent
period since last Friday, and has
several times expressed himself as feeling
much better. The entire absence Of
the usual febrile this afternoon is regarded
as very encouraging for the feature of the
case. For the first time in more than three
weeks the patients temperature at the even.
ing examination was to day normal. There
has been no further exploration of the
wound In search Of fragments of bone, and
there are no indications of the existence of
such fragments or OF any obstruction or
source OF irritation whatever. The pus
flows out naturally and freely through
the new incisiOn, and is of a perfect
lY healthy character. After the evening
dressing Of the wound the patent slept
quietly for three hours, and awoke a few
moments since feeling greatly refreshed.
He has no fever, and has bad none since
yesterday. His pulse is now below 100, and
his temperature and respiration are normal.
The attending surgeons, although by no
means free from anxiety, express the hope
and belief that the present improvement is
permanent gain, and that the President is
on the way to recover. Dr. Hamilton ar
rived here from New York at ten O'Clock
tonight.
