The President il now sleeping soundly
and the physiclans at his bedside re-
po-t his condition as favorable aa
could be hoped for. During the day

noyances by the noise and confusion
attendant upon operating the appa-
ratus for reducing the temperature in
the sick chamber, but with the advent
Of evening these were happily allayed,
and the President fell inte refreshine
slumber at 10 o clock, which still CON
tinues.
4 WHAT THE DOCTORS BAYS.
| DIR. Bliss expressed tho opinion lat,
Il to-night that the sudden rise OF th,
President's pulse to los points and thu
increase In his temperature was not au
occasion for any fear. He attributed the
rise TO the warm weather, which, In
view Of the reduced temperature Of the
Presidents room, has given occasion fol
serious reflection. DR.. 9arnett says the
rise 10 not neces sarily unfavorable anc
probably prodr ced by malaria. DR.
Busey thinks the rise locks bad and con
siders 1t beyond the limit of safety. 1
1t was caused BY malaria II could easllj
be reduced BY quinine, but In his opin
, lon malaria was not the cause. DR.. Lin
coin, In speaking Of the last bulletir
Issued, said that he gave his opinion
with great reservation, for he was no
one Of the physicians In attendance, ant
what might seem alarming to him nigh
appear Indifferent TO those who hav,
watched the symptoms in person. 81
|. said, however, that rise In temperatur,
might be attributed to TWO causes
either to an iI creased Inflammation Ii
tie wound or to malarial effects. II thl
temperature has increased uniforml,
every night then 1t resulted from thl
latter cauae;but IL such was not the case
then 1t was due 10 additional infamma-
ton. He said that II he were treating
patient for wound similar TO that o
the Presidents, he would consider th,
rise In temperature as very alarming
symptom.
