1t is stated on good authority TINT Drs.
Agnew and Hamilton were not summoned
at the instance of DR.. Bliss, but at the re-
quest of friends of the family The story
that DR.. Bliss drew these names at random
from hat is pronounced utterly absurd.
A gentle breeze prevailed in the Presi-
dents apartments all day, thanks to the
excellent arrangement, made for thorough
and complete ventilation, and he does not
suffer at all from the heat.
The soldier mentioned by DR.. Bliss as
having recovered from such q severe wound
of the liver was member of President
Garfclds own regiment during the war.
! Mcssrs. Judd and Montgomery, the telc-
graph operators at the White House, who
have been working night and day since the
shooting, had respite to-day. The in
crease in their work made it necessary for
them to secure larger quarters and the in
struments were placed in n bedroom in the
northeastern corner of the building. About
the only kilograms sent to-day were to
members of the family who are out of the
city and such intimate friends of the family
as have expressed desire to be kept adj
vised of the Presidents condition.
Stendy Improvement Noted.
DR.. Bliss was asked at o'clock about the
President condition, and he replied. "Wcll,
he is about the same with triAc higher
pulsation, but his symptoms are as favor
able as we could wish or expect at this
time. Every hour that this state of things
continues improves his chances of recovery"
Sensation at the War Department.
Somewhat of a sensation was caused at
the War Department this afternoon by u
drunken man who was threatening
that he would kill Vice-Presdent Arthur
in case the President should die. He
had large round clock in his hands
and in Keeling around happened to drop it,
So intoxicated was he that he could not
pick it up. The police were notified of his
conduct, and an officer conducted him to
the Fourth Precinct Station, where he will
remain till he sleeps off the effects
of his potations. The man is
a clerk in the Adjutant-General's Office
and created the scene in Gen. Drums room.
He was there yesterday, and being under
the influence of liquor, acted in disor-
derby manner, but was allowed to leave.
