not restless, and slept sufficiently. ThI
encmata and stimulants have been sus
pended during the past 80 hours. On the
whole the past q hours give evidence ol
favorable progress,
The immediate attendants upon the Presi,
dent exhibit more decided opinion that
the improvement is likely to be permanent
than persons not so intimately connected
with the ease. The assurance Of those hav-
ing access to the patients room, however,
that the President is much better than be-
fore leaving Washington, is very generally
accepted, and is gratifying, The morning,
though cloudy and haxy, is cool and re-
freshing, with gentle breezcs blowing from

GHS. M'vRAGH GREATLY ENCOURAGED
Attorney-General AIcveagh, in answer
t. an inquiry, said in substance that the
case was very encouraging, and although
there was every reason to believe the fl-
olble conditions would continue
he desired to wait week or ten
days before entertaining the idea that he
is convalescent. At present everything
looks favorable and of course we hope that
what has been gained will be maintained"

Presidents bloOd is in an unhealthy con.

feature ut the present time, inasmuch as
the patient Is experiencing some trouble
with his throat. II is possible that the
lungs may bc reached by the impurities
originating from the parotid gland"

have been aiTeCtedW
II have not. We know his heart Is all
right aud up to this time there are no indi.
cations which tend to show that the lungs
are not in healthy condition.
"0n the whole, you feel more encour-
aged than before you left Washington, do
You not?'' i'+.
"Oh, yes. There is no doubt but that the
President Is much better"
General Swain said: Everything looks
better. II would probably be difficult to
point TO any particular point Us being
greatly improved, but the general cOndi-
ton Of the President Is more satisfactory
than heretofore, and everything is doing as
nicely as could be expected.

here, and called ut the ElberOn early this
