WASHINGTON, July 3l.-The President
has had very comfortable day and the
surgeons say tonight that ne has made
marked improvements since morning.
He has taken solid food, his chief dish
to-day being mutton chops, and this
nourishment agrees with him. He has
now a good appetite. The evening rise
of the fever was not very marked. DIR.
Bliss says the Presidents wound is very
sore and naturally he breads the dress
ings; that the state of his pulse, temper
ature and respira ton are taken imme-
diately after the d ressing OF the wound
and the Presidents dread OF this dress.
ing causes his pulse and temperature to
Rise Above the Actual Fever He Has.
The surgeons are convinced that this
theory is correct, because the lever
always recedes so early after the evening
dressing. 1t did tonight, and at 8 o'clock
the President was resting quietly with
out any fever apparently. Alter the

Sustained Bliss Theory of the Course
and Lodgmsnt of the Ball
Mrs. Garfield was out at the Soldiers
Home looking through the Presidents
cottage, as it is now thought probable
that he will be carried there as soon as
he is able to be moved. She decided
that ii the President does 90 out there
to put him in the north room OF the cot
tagp, which is large. well ventilated and
lighted, and adapted to the
Needs of Sick Room.
Ii the President is carried there, it
will be TO get him awav from the mala-
rial influence of the White House till
he grows strong enough to take sea
voyage. He has been in partially
upr light position nearly all day supported
by frame work under the mattresses,
and he felt tonight no fatigue from 1t.
Indeed, he expresses a sense OF relief
at the change OF position. He said he
