Seventh Dispaich---OfficiaI.
1890 P.M.-Since the issue Of this
mornings bulletin a rise in the Pres
ident's temperature similar to that
which occurred yesterday morning has
been observed. His pulse is some
what more frequent. From the incis-
ion in the parotid swelling few drops
Of pus we're discharged this morning.
The size Of the swelling has not d.
minished. In other respects his con.
dition has not perceptibly changed.

Eighth Dispatch.-OfllciaI.
The noon bulletin is not calculated
toinspire confidence in the Presidents
recovery, and neither are the un-
official reports from the sick room.
The latter are to the effect
that the glandular complication is
giving the doctors serious concern.
The fevsrish systoms are again on
the increase, and the Doctors are re-
ported to have resorted to enemas un-
successfully, the bowels refus-
ing to retain the injection. A
feeling Of gloom is again
making itself apparent at the
White House, and not the least
alarming feature in the case is that
the Doctors keep themselves shut up
and refuse to be interviewed. An
other bad evening is looked for at this
writing.
Ninth Dispatch.
At this hour, half past one, his fever
seems to increase, while the parotid
swelling has not diminished.
He continues to swallow liquid
in sufficient quantity without disturb
ance of stomach,
