apparent for ten days. Tomorrow he says there will probably be turning point. An effort will be made in the morning to test his stomach again. If nourishment is retained the hopes of the physicians will be re-estab- ished. If the stomach still refuses to act the gravity of the case will deepen. Df Boynton thinks the change will be for the bet ter, but says all the physicians are extremely anxious and will be till to-morrow's expert ment has been tried. Dr. Boynton also says the President noticed the doctors talking to- gether this evening and evidently suspected they were worried. He therefore asked Dr. Boynton what he thought of the case. The doctor answered cheerfully and no more was said. He says that the Presidents voice IS stronger now than for several days and he does not look to be worse. Mrs. Garfield still keeps up and thinks there Is good way out of 1t all. Dr. Reyburn makes the case less serious. He said at 10.30 p. m. the President had taken water without nausea DIR. REYBURN ANXIOUS BUT HOPEFUL.
 Dr. Reyburn said that it was impossible to say just when nourishment would again be administered by the mouth. Possibly an effort would be made in the morning. Enc mata have been increased since other nour- ishment has ceased, two having been admin istered tonight. The doctor was asked if the President had septicamia. He hesitated before answering, but finally said the same septic conditions existed in the case in any
  fore wound of this size could be perfectly healed. The low condition of the system was of course natural and septic@mia meant just that. He said he felt sure that to-day's vomiting had nothing to do with the wound except so far as the wound had caused the parotid swelling by which the phlegm had been made troublesome. When asked if the physicians were more anxious tonight, he answered that they were less anxious than they were this afternoon. They did not like to see the vomiting recommended, but now that it was stopped again they felt better. THE NEWS SENT TO MINISTER LOWELL.
