noon to-day,

one of them ut least very severe. The pulse
rapidly increased to an abnormal state--12s5-
and almost rs rapidly sank to Ito. The ap-

wanting during the tlay-a1ld the President has
been sustained by gentle sti1nu!ants. The
dusky appearance OH the face is another
indication that is bad. The violent chill has
been succeeded BY not less violent reaction,
followed BY profuse sweats. The riSor re-
turned more than once i'll twelve hours, with
differing degrees Of Intensity. There has
been pain III the body and IN the limbs, and
the tongue has been parehcd. There has
been a good deal Of mental anxiety, and
there has been excessive restlesness. There
has been pain in tile jnints and limbs"
MEANWHILE,
attempts have been made to force the pus
from the wound by pressure upon the body,
and the dressing of the wound had been
changed in a manner that would tend to
keep the channel Open. The dranage-tube
was changed fur longer one, and the new
tube was adjusted so that it. penetrated the
wound about three and half inches from
the opening. The physicians said the wound
could not have healed Internally between the
bullet and its mouth, although there had
been symptoms Of granulation in its track,
and that the most there could be was adj
hesion of the parts.
10 P. N.
The physicians at their examination this
evening inserted flexible catheter into the
wound and pressed it against what had been
an obstruction and had prevented its further
progress on the previous occasion. With a
very slight pressure they were able to make
penetration ard apparently opened Il closed
place there, whereupun there came quite
free discharge of pus OF greenish color,
showing by its character that it. had been
gathering for some time. The. were, how
ever. no evidences Of pyenlia, and the
doctors do not apprehend that it exists I'M
nlediately after tllis operation the President,
who had heen very restless and in pain, was
much relieved, and nj! the symptoms BECAME
more favorable, there being lowering IN all
the figures. The physicians hope that they
