The Results of the Operation.

Executive Mansion. ll.30 P. M.-The
President did not fully recover from the
effects of this mornings surgical operation
He suffered more or less throughout the after
noon from nausea caused by ether. He was
rather weaker than yesterday and was not
able to take the usual quantity of nourish-
ment Milk with lime water was given him
soon as his stomach would bear it after the
effects of the ether had passed away, and
later in the day he had meat juice and beef
extract but he was not allowed no solid
food.
His pulse. probably as a result of the gas
trio disturbance, was rather high during the
afternoon, and at 4.30. went up to ITO, but
his temperature did not rise correspondingly
until almost the time for the evening exami-
nation, when it reached 1919.
The febrile rise shown by this temperature
was more pronounced than usual, but it was
fully accounted for in the judgement of the
surgeons by the operation and the nervous
excitement, and by nausea and other effects
of the ether; it therefore caused no anxiety.
Early in the evening the fever began TO sub
side and the President went to sleep quietly
without anodynes. Since that time his pulse
and temperature have slowly fallen, and his
general condition has improved. At this
hour 100 p. NJ, his pulse is IS; his skin is
moist and healthy in tone; his temperature is
not more than half degree above normal,
and he continues to sleep quietly. DIR. Bliss
expresses the opinion that he will have a
good refreshing night. and when he awakes
will be entirely free from fever.
1t is possible that there may be considera-
BILE febrie disturbance again tomorrow, be-
fore the patient begins to permanently i'm
prove, but the ultimate result of to-day's OPP
Grafton is expected to be marked and de-
cided change for the better. The incision
made this morning cannot be closed or OBJ
structed by the process of granulation, as the
old track of the ball was between the ribs,
for the reason that the cut is through the
soft parts of the body where there are no
bones to prevent the spreading or separation
of the sides of the wound whenever they be.
gin to close in the process of healing. The
present.incision now made can be kept open
and unobstructed as long as may be necessary
and no fear is entertained of further sup
preston of the discharge.

THE PRESIDENTS CONDITION.
is Less Serious than Orig.
inally Supposed.

New YORK, August s. DIR. Agnew states
in relation to the President that the examina-
ton with the probe shows that the wound is
of a less serious nature than was for long
time supposed. 1t has been definitely ascer-
tanned that the cavities of the chest and abdo-
men were not entered, and necessarily the
peritOneal membrane was not pierced nor
was the liver torn.
The opening of the wound is between the
tenth and eleventh ribs, four inches to the
right of the spinal column; and the ball took
a course almost directly downward, the bull
let striking, and splintering the tenth rib lost
considerable force; and being DETECTED pass
ed through the tissue of the muscles which
forms a soft wall of the abdomenial region,
and stopped just at the crest of the ilium, or
broad bone. which forms the hip.
The precise location is in either the quad
ratus or psaus muscles, but which cannot yet
be told as DR.. Angew did not succeed in
touching the ball, although he inserted the
probe fully seven inches into the wound. The
difference, however, can be but slight, as the
muscles are in close contact with each. and
no matter which it is imbedded in the bullet
cannot be far from the surface of the body.
In speaking of the process by which this def
mite knowledge of the nature of the wound
was attained, DR.. Angew said the electric
balance was not of the slightest service.
The information was obtained by the ordi-
nary method of probing. 1t was quite trust
worthy. He said above all, as to the point
that none of the great cavities have been en-
tered, the dullness under percussion which
had been regarded as a symptom of injury of
the liver and resulting in hemmorrhage. he
explains in the theory that the organ was
slightly bruised by the ball in its passage.
He is quite sure that it was not lacerated
in the least. The capsulis is intact. The
bruise was of no importance and would natu-
rally pass off in few days. DIR. Agnew en-
tirely approved of the action of the attending
surgeons in retaining from any endeavor to
find the ball just after the shooting. He
thinks it likely that any such search with the
probe or with cutting instruments, especially
in the great uncertainty as to the direction
taken by the ball, would have had a fatal re-
suit. Even now there is little or no expecta-
ton Of extracting the ball, although there is
little Or no doubt of the Presidents ultimate
recovery. Agnew is dissatisfied with his ap-
pearance, and his weak digestive powers
cause the fear that his convalesence will be
prolonged. The position of the bullet, how
ever, is such that no permanent inconven-
fence is anticipated from its staying there

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
The Necessity Of a Surgical Operation.

The Necessity Of a Surgical Operation.
WASHINGTON, August 8.
The nece ssity for the operation performed
upon the President this morning became ap-
parent to the doctors yesterday, when they
found the drainage tube of the size hitherto
used could no longer be passed along the
track Of the ball between the ribs The
process Of granulation at that point had gone
so far as to partially close the orifices The
ribs prevented the pushing aside of the flesh,
which was healing between the mouth SO that
the tube could not be INTRODUCED. The result
of this state Of things was that pus formed in
the deeper parts of the wound rather faster
than it could escape through the half-ob-
structed opening between the ribs, and its
gradual accumulation began to cause disturb
ance, therefore it was decided to make new
entrance in the track of the ball below the
last rib, so that the ribs should no longer
prevent the keeping open Of the wound BY
the solid hacking which they afforded to
granulating flesh between them.
The operation was performed, at the re-
quest Of the other surgeons, by DR.. Agnew.
As soon As the patient had been put under
the influence of ether. . long and slightly
curved instrument Was introduced into the
wound and pushed between the ribs and
carried downward along the track of the bull
let until i: could be felt between the
last ribs outside.
Holding this instrument in the wound As a
guide, DIR. Agnew then made . counter in
cision below the twelfth rib. cutting directly
through the integument until his knife met
the end of the first mentioned instrument, at
the point where he wished to intersect the
track Of the ball. The operation was not
difRcult or dangerous one, and the patient
bore both it and the etheixation extremely

The President has felt rather weaker this
afternoon than usual and has experienced
some nausea as result of this morning
etherization. On the whole. however, he
has rallied well from the operation and his
surgeons report his condition as satisfactory.
His pulse is a little higher than yesterday, at
this hour, but as there is hardly any per
ceptible fever the rise of pulse is attributed
TO gastric disturbance caused by the ether.
The nausea has now passed away and the
patient is resting quietly.
