OF Doctor Agnew. with regard to the Presi-
dents condition: 1.-THE Presidents condition

hope"
Dr. Bliss, In conversation on the Presidents
condition at this hour, says that while the
case Is still critical there is every reason for
nope OF bis recovery, and, considering the ma
lure OF the wound, the situation is as favorable
as 1t possibly could be. Regarding the crisis.
The doctor said: "If the President passes
through to-day without losing strength. it VIII
De exceedingly encouraging. The crisis. how.
ever, cannot be definitely fixed, as there may
be change at any time" The doctor said
That the examinations which have been made

1octor. in conclusion, said: "we all know that
Inc President Is In an exceedingly precarious

DR.. Bliss said at 1130 O'Clock that no serious
lad shown themselves. Every
hour that passes without such complications Is
encouraging. he said There has been no very
serious Inflammation. The principal danger -
from Inflammation forming q cavity. II the
President passes the day without such danger
being precipitated there would be hope that he
might get through, but the danger would by no
means be over. AZ the dreaded fnfi ammation Is
likely to occur at every stage OF the disease.
At O'Clock DR.. Reyburn who had Just lef;
he Presidents bedside, said that vomiting
had ceased, and the President was very much
elieved DR.. Bliss says that he expects vol
lntary action OF the bowels this afternoon
