| EXECUTIVE MANSION, 10 a. m.- The faint
hope raised last evening by the reported i'm
provement in the Presidents condition was
hardly expressed by the few who shared it,
for fear that change for the worse would
occur during the night. So the unexpected
announcement made by the physicians this
morning that the President had held his own
during the night, and the favorable develop.
ments of the night, as related in the morn
ing bulletin, caused a still more hopeful
feeling to prevail at the Executive Mansion
this morning. DR. Bliss and General Swain,
both of whom were at the Presidents bed
side most of the night, feel much encour-
aged at his condition this morning. DIR.
Bliss thinks the favorable symptoms of yes
terday and the improved condition of last
! evening were fully maintained throughout
| the night.
