RETURN OF FEVER INDICATED
The following was this mornings official bull
letin, which is not as satisfactory as the bulletin
of yesterday morning:

NOon.-The President Now Getting Better.
At this hour the fever is said to be gradually
disappearing, and the patients condition is con-
sidered better than when the bulletin was issued
The Presidents Severe Chill This Morning.
The Presidents fever last night was very
sharp. He subsequently perspired freely and it
partly went off that way, but this morning it
took the shape of chill The chill
lasted for about Is minutes and the
President shook with it very much. It
was pretty severe chill. At one time the pulse
reached 150-a most unsatisfactory sign. 1t
dropped back right away, however The chill
set in about eight o'clock, and it was little
after nine before the reaction took place. After
it the patient rested pretty comfortably The
doctors do not assign any exact reason
for the Presidents unsatisfactory condition to-
day. They say that it is probably caused by
the failure of the wound to discharge freely.
When it was dressed this morning the wound
did not give forth near as much matter as dur
ing the past few days. BY pressing on the body
little was forced out. 1t is possible, the doc
tors think, that a new formation is
being made near the bullet. The method
of dressing the wound was changed
little this morning. Dressing that will keep
the wound more open was applied. The drain
age tube was also changed for one little lon
ger. The new tube was so adjusted that it
penetrated the wound about three inches and a.
half from the opening In dressing the wound
hismOrning when it was found that the discharge
was by no means free. the pressing upon the
abdomen, which has heretofore caused flow of
pus was tried, but it did not work satisfactorily.
This would indicate an accumulation of matter
where the bullet is located.
WHAT THE PRESIDENT SAID ABOUT LAPHAMs
ELECTION.
There is no truth whatever in the published
statement that the President last evening. when
informed Of Senator Lapham's election, said
THANK God" He said nothing of the kind. but
made general remark that he was glad the
matter was at last settled.
