Washington, July 23.-9 a. m. Al
seven this morning the president showed
the usual morning symptoms Of re
coyery, but about O'Clock was at
tackled with something like chills. Hs
shook all over, and his muscles all be-
came rigid with what the surgeons cal
a rigor. This chilly shaking sensation
lasted till 9o'clock, when fever set in,
and rose rapidly; the. pulse went up to
100 and temperature above 10l. In al
hour or so the fever declined some.
11:30 a. IN. DIR. Boynton, who has
just come from the presidents cham
ber, attributes the sudden rise in the
presidents pulse and temperature to
some obstruction in the way Of free
discharge of pus from the wound.
Symptoms Of granulation were noticed
along the track of the ball yesterday,
and it is possible that this healing pro-
cess going ON at the same point and
comparatively near to the external sur
face of the body, has damned up a
quantity of pus in the deeper parts Of
the wound, and that the chill and in
creased fever are thus to be accounted
for. The discharge this morning, al
though perfectly normal and healthy in
its character was unusually scanty,
which would seem to indicate that its
now has been In some way impeded or
interrupted. The chill mentioned In

dent is now. asleep. and his pu,se ra.
mains at about 100. It is the opinion
of the attending surgeons that the chill
and subsequent fever this morning was
caused by the formation of pus cavity
at some point along the track Of the
bullet; but this cannot positively be
ascertained until after the examination.
DIR. Bliss has in his practice had cases
where the formation Of pus cavity in
wound was followed by much So
verer chill and higher fever than the
president has had to-day, and that it il
not necessarily an alarming feature in
case OF this kind.
