| the PRESIDENTS attendants to tie one
of the best days he has had since he
was Shot. During the morning, the
surgeon, While examining the Presi-
dent, pressed his finger on the sDOL
on the body supposed to be directly
over the ball. The patient did not
experience any discomfort from the
slight pressure. 1t is not thought
the ball in its present location will
cause inconvenience to the PreSi-
dent in the use of his limbs. He is
now able to raise his right leg, which
is near the supposed location of the
ball, as easily as he does the left. In
quiry elected the statement that
there was found to be a noticeable
tiatness or indications of irregular
ity of one lung some weeks ago, Dut
the cause of it was then and is now
attributed to other causes than the
blood. No great anxiety exists at
present regarding the probability
that the lungs may eventually be-
come affected.
Cerbin says the President passed
an exceedingly favorable afternoon.
He ate a very good dinner. Mrs
Garfield said to the Colonel that she
felt sure the President was better
to-day. The favorable symptoms
are expected to continue from two
to four weeks before the President
can be pronounced convalescent.
Blaine, at 10 this evening, cabled
Lowell, minister, as follows: The
medical examinations we're all fav-
orable to-day, morning, noon and
night. The President has not for
many weeks done so well for so
many consecutive hours. He has
had very little fever, his respiration
has been normal and his pulse has
not exceeded loo. He slept without
opiates, and gained strength without
stimulants. His nights are not as
restful as could be desired, but in
"a hours he gets sufficient sleep. The
weather, though not excessively
warm, continues sultry and Cypress
i've. Much is hoped for the clear
bracing air which may be expected
here at this season.
| Col. Rock well, tonight, said the
President takes nourishment freely.
He had eaten woodcock, milk por-
| ridge and bOullon with relish. The
Colonel received a dozen fine squir-
rels to-day for the Presidents use.
Agnew arrived tonight. Upon en-
tering the Presidents room he said.
"Mr. President you have improved
| considerably since I last saw YOU. =
The President said, do you think
| SO? HAMILTON left this morning
but returns on Tuesday next. The
Residents easy chair arrived from
Washington tonight. Bliss said to-
night that everything was going on
splendidly. There will be no fur
! Their trouble from the gland. The
President mentioned this morning
that he had been isolated from the
cabinet officers for long time, and
expressed a desire to see them. I
told him now that he was GONZALES
cent, l did not think it would iniure
him to see the members quietly and
at intervals, and their visits be very
brief, and they will be very cOnsid-
crate and careful. For breakfast
he ate woodcock and an entire piece
of toasted bread, with the exception
of the crust, and some Cruel. at
midday he had another bird and
some beef extract; this evening he
will probably cOnfine himself to
liquids. There is no foundation in
the rumOrs that the President was
nauseated last night. He was
merely a little overfed and uncom-
fortable. Dr.. Bliss insists that there
is nothing of a serious character
about the lungs. If there had been
it would have developed itself.
The tiatneSs which was found in the
lungs was explained as being what
is turned hypodelic congestion,
caused by the passage Of the ball
through the border of the diaphragm.
If there was trouble there, caused
by septicemia, it would be pro-
nOunced in the temperature. There
would be a higher febrile rise at
once, and the equable condition
could not exist.
"Has the President given ANY
special evidence of cheerfulness or
interest IN matters generally to-
day?" eyes. he expressed himself
as pleased with locking upon the
ocean, and exhibits considerable
interest in matters generally. The
catheter penetrated ten inches when
[ used it last. l have selected a
small catheter now which intend
using. DR.. Agnew called my atten-
ton to-day to what he thought was
a filing up on the well side near
the hip, and l don't know but it is
SO. / see very plainly the lines and
expression of his face are more firm
and each. has more and better ex-
preston than he had
"Is there any evidence that the
wound is graduating" Eyes, l
know it is FORMULATING, and rough
handling would make it bleed now,
while a week ago it would not.
Mrs. Garfield feels great conf
dence in her husbands ultimate
recovery"
| Midnight-The Presidents con-
ditien has continued favorable he
rested better tonight than in the
early part of any night, for week
past. His pulse was somewhat
higher owing to the evening febrlle
rise, but DR.. Bliss says his general
conditions continue favorable
