THE PRESIDENTS CONDITION
Another Good day Yesterday-I
Slight Raise in Fever bus NO An,
iety Felt,
[ WASHINGTON, July 2S.-The bulle
tin issued from the White House at
lo'clock tonight, showed some increas
in the pulse and temperature of tn
President, compared with the bulletin
of the past two days, but the increas'
was temporary and was due to loca
causes and disappeared after the wount
was dressed. During the past forty
eight hours the President has been fres
from fever and has made encouraging
progress. About one hour before tn,
wound was dressed tonight the fevel
again made its appearance, but it wa
50 slight that the surgeons attached M
Importance to it, regarding it as a re-
currence of the regular surg ical fever
When the drainage tube was remov
ed from the wound, preparatory to dress
ing, it was observed that the tube was
somewhat obstructed, which prevented
the pus from flowing from the tube as
freely as the wound was suDpurating.
The removal OF the tube allowed free
discharge Of pus, which examination
showed 20 he perfectly healthy. After tht
wound was dressed a new drainage aube
was inserted, and the pulls, and temper,
ature Immediately began to debate. The
President said before the dressing he
experienced slight discomfort for briel
period, but after the dressing this teel.
ing entirely disappeared, and shortly
thereafter he fell asleep. During the
day prior to q o'clock. the temperature
and respiration continued normal, tht
pulse VARYING from 80 to 96. The morn
ing bulletin will show that the increase
in pulse and temperature reported TO-
night is without special significance.
To-day the President was temporarily J
removed from the chamber he has oc-
cupied since the injury,in order that the
room might be thoroughly cleaned and
renovated. The small bed in which he
rests was pushed across the hal to a
chamber IN the north side of the build
ing corresponding in size to the one
occupied, and located directly opposite
to it. After he was removed, the hang
ings were taken down from the win
dows, the carpets removed, and the
room was given u general cleaning and
thorough fumigation. The window
hangngs and carpets were not restored,
strips Of new carpet being laid in front
of the bed, and from the he'd to the en-
trance to the chamber, III order to
deaden the sound of the footsteps of
those who are required to visit the patti
ent. After the room was renovated the
President was rolled back, and express
cd much qualification with the changes
made. The work OF the renovation was
performed at the request Of the presi-
dent.
The following are the latest kilograms;
