PLRAsANT SURPRISE IN WASHING ON.
As encouraging reports continued to
come from the White House this af-
ternoon the excitement in the city be-
gan to die away. Everybody was
happily surprised at the new turn in
affairs. And the fact that there was
any recuperation at all was taken as
an omen Of good and a sign offlnal re-
covery. The local papers issued extra
editions all day, and the cries of the
newsboys on the street was heard from
early morning till late at night. Every
word of encouragement that they pub
lished was justified by the reports of
the physicians, who, in interviews as
well as in their evening bulletin, re-.
peated the cheering words Of hope
The drowsiness Of yesterday had dis.
appeared, the mind was clear and the
faculties under perfect CONTROL all
day.
GENERAL CONFIDENCE.
l met Captain Henry in the exeeu-
tive offices to day. Hs said that he
felt almost sure that the President had
passed the crisis. 81 understand" he
continued. "that Is his own belief, and
now he feels sure that he is going to
get we'll. His stomach has not had a
qualm since last Sunday. l saw Mrs.
Garfield this afternoon and she said
she no longer had any fear. Every.
body in the household feels the same
way"
Captain Henry has just returned
from Ohio.
THE PRESIDENTS MOTHER.
Yesterday he saw Mrs. Eliza Gar-
field. asked him how she was how
did she bear upf "Nobly," was his
answer. Nevertheless, when / was
with her at Hiram, some of the most
discouraging news of the President
that we have had was brought there.
/ could see how terribly it affected her.
She seems to have grown old since the
shooting"
'Is she hopeful :" asked.

given way. But you can understand
what terrible strain all this has been
upon her. She is regularly informed by

"It has been said that she was to come
on TO Washington. think yol your
self SAID SO TO me before you left on this
last trip to the West"
"I assumed that she was. 1t was spo-

come or not If things get worse than

that she will"
ABRAvE WIFE.
"Did you see much of Mrs. Garfield at
the time that every body gave up hope,
yesterday afternoon?"
eyer; she was as calm and self-possess-
ed as she could be. never saw BRAY
or woman"
In the afternoon Mrs. Garfield came
ont to take q ride. She was accompan-
led by her daughter, Miss M ollie, Col
onel Rudolph and Colonel Rockwell, ,her
brother-in-law. She looked cheerful
and happy. The carriage was an open
one, and as she drove through the gates
of the White House the crowd recog-
nized her and stood la respectfulsilence
uncovered, as she passed. She bowed in
response to this salutation and drove on.
The fact that she came out at all was re-
garded as the most cheering sign Of the
day. Her hopeful face and pleased
manner were, naturally enough, the
subject Of remark and new hope was
thus created.
DIR. Hamilton's Cheering Opinion.
DIR. Hamilton started for New York
by the 10 O'Clock train tonight. 81 can
safely say" he replied to an inquiry,
"that we are all much encouraged and
continued Improvement will soon res
tore hopes OF recovery"
"Oau you not state what you think of
the prospects more definitely" he was
asked.
"Well," he replied after some hesita-
ton, II see no objection to your saying
from that know the President will get
well. That ia just how feel"

WASHINGTON, August 2s.-There
are so many conflicting opinions with
regard to the rally in the Presidents
case that it is hard to decide which is
correct. No doubt good deal of it is
due to the stimulants 80 freely admin
istered since Friday, and much may be
ascribed to a renewal of hope in his
own breast acting on the system
through his will. Whether these are
all the influences that cause improve
ment can better be told in day or
two. There is more confidence in the
White House than outside, although
the impression everywhere is that the
President is now in no immediate
danger.
The Indications seem to point to re-
storation Of the digestive powers. This
