h-Tne President enjoyed another good
nights rest, aud, it is thought, starts out on
what bids fair to be another good day. He
slept well, and the stomach still continues
to perform iIs work satisfactorily, aud the
parotid swelling is progressing fsvorably.
His pulse, temperature, and respiration, as
compared with yeste day morning, are
about the same. The slight increase In the
frequency OF his pulse is thought to be due
to an accumulation Of pus in another por-
ton OF the gsndular swelling, which was
observed this morning by Dr. Bliss, who
made still another incision, and released
the pent.up pus. On the continuance OF
these favorable symptoms another day OF
progress Is predicted.

with very satisfactory results. The pus

ALL GOES on WELL AS CAN BE Expected.

Mn an interview with a reporter Of the
Associated Press at ~ O'Clock DR.. Bliss
said that the progress OF the Presidents
esse to- day had been very satisfactory. An
other incIsiOn about three quarters OF gu
inch 10 length WAS made in the PATIENTS
right cheek this morning, aud large sddi-
tiOnal quantity OF pus removed. The open
inRs are now al in communication one with
another, and the condition OF the gland IL
improving every hour. The patients pulse
bss had a somewhat higher range to-day
than Yesterday, but DR.. Bliss does not at
iach much signliesncS to this fact, for the
reason that the local disturbance arising
from the glandular swelling is sufficient TO
sxplsiu 1t. The patients general condition
remains as good as Yesterday, and his
stomach Ia behaving admirably. DR.. Bliss
does lot look for any marked and decided
change IN the direction OF recovery before
Friday or Saturday, by which time he
thinks the gaud will have ceased TO be a
dangerous feature. Upi to this time all goes
- well as could be expected.

Review OF the Day.
THE GENERAL CONDITION OF THE PRESIDENT
As GOOD AS on MONDAY.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, August 30-10:30
Z. M-The day at the Executive Mansion
has been extremely quiet aud uneyeniful, the
news from the sick-rOom being very CRAFTY
log TO all inquirers. Shortly after the midday
bulletin was issued a ripple OF excitement
became noticeable, owing TO the rise OF the
patients pulse to ZIG, but the cluse OF the
rise was satisfactorily explained by the at
tending surgeons. The explanation was in
cd. CT that the increased pulse was due 10 q
slight incsion OF the parotd gland made by
DR.. Bliss this morning. The attending sur
geons say that during the extremely enfee-
bled condition OF the patient no importance
should be attached to slight fluctuations Of
the pulse. The President continues TO take
his usual nourisbment during the day, IN
addition to konmss, milk porridge, and
beef-tea, which be partOOk OF freely He
ate another piece OF milk.toaSt with appa-
rent relish.
Durn4.a conversation this afternoon Or.
BoyntOIssaid ihat the gandular trouble
was apparently much better, and that there
was large discharge from il this morn
ing; that there was not mach change
in the condition or the wound, and
that graduation had beea renewed,
but not TO any great exteAt. He con-
sidered the general condition Of the
patient fully as good rs yesterday, and
said that, while there has been no material
gain OF strength, there may have been u
slight improvement. "There certainly has
been a marked Improvement since the re-
cent crisis" continued the Doctor, "and
he now takes bis food with as much relish
as at any time during his Illness"
In reply to further interrogatories, DR..
Boynton said: "No msrkedchsnge Is ex.
pected at onee. AL that we can reasonably
expect Is that the patient will hold bis own
for few days. II he makes even slight
Improvement 1t will be perfectly satisiac'
tory"
