1z:40 p. m.-Offlcial.-At the dressing Of

terday. Pulse, 95; temperature, 9s.4; res
piration, II.
4p. m.-Dr. Reyburn reports the Presi-
dent had a very favorable afternoon. He
ate plateful of soup about 8 o'clock, and
has twice to-day chewed a small piece of
beefsteak and swallowed the juice. All
symptoms continue favorable. .
WASHINGTON, August 31.-To Lo,reU !:
The President has had less fever this even
ing than upon any previous evening since he
was wounded. The entire day has been
most encouraging in all his symptoms.
Hereafter l shall send but one report daily.
(Signed) BLAINE.
WASHINGTON, August 31-6:30 p. H.
Oficial.-The President has passed better
day than for some time. He has taken his
food with increased relish, and the usual
afternoon rise of temperature did not occur
at the evening dressing. The fluid used to
wash out the parotid abscess found Its way
into the mouth, which it did not do this
morning, showing that an opening into the
mouth has spontaneously occurred. The
abscess is discharging freely, and the swell
ing continues diminishing. There is some
increase in the discharge of pus f:om the
wound. Pulse, 100; temperature, 9S.6 res
piration, Is.
WASHINGTON, August 31.-Blaine to Low.
ell: The Presidents condition is very en-
couraging to-day. Pulse down to 95-lower
than 1t has been for several weeks. Tenn
perature and respiration normal. No adj
verse symptoms apparent at this hour, 2 p. IN.
BLAINE.
WASHINGTON, August 31.-The Presi-
dent had some difficulty in chewing the beef
to-day. The pulse was lower at noon (95)
than since the Sth of August, and at $50 it
was lower than for several days at same no III
being 100. The doctors do not regard as at all
unsatisfactory the new opening into the
mouth, and attach no Importance whatever
to it. After the afternoon bulletin the pulse
receded slightly. Everything considered, he
could not be better at this time. The Presi'
dent this morning required to his desire to
be removed. The physicians had been dis
cussing this point and were unanimous that
at the earliest moment possible the Presi.
dent should be removed. II Is so now that
any change would be desirable. DIR. Bliss
told the President he would be removed as
soon as II would be safe. Bliss said he could
not promise to take the President to the
place Of his great desire-his home at Men.
tor-before a shorter journey was taken.
The doctors say that while the matter of re-
| moval is again under earnest discussion
there has been no decision as to the objective
point. Captain Henry, after canyassing the
matter at the White House, has come TO the
| conclusion that trip down the river on the
Tallapoosa will be the first change in case
the President RECEIVERS sufficiently, Of which
| no doubt is expressed. The Tallapoosa will
arrive here tomorrow, and very likely will
be detained to await the Presidents rccuper-
alton. The only sign that his strength is be.
ing renewed is that the President is turned
| on his side to dress his wound. He both
morning and evening assisted in a slight
| measure In the turning movement.
WASHINGTON, August 3l.-Dr. Bliss said:
al have received number of letters to-day
commenting unfavorably on our use of alec.
holic stimulants In this case, but the writers
never having seen the patient are not quail.

promptly by warning Of danger by high
feeble and fiuctuating pulse. 1t was largely
by stimulation that he was kept up during
the worst stages Of glandular inlamation.'
Since the evening bulletin the pulse has
fallen again to 104. DIR. Reyburn says no
Importance whatever should be attached to
the fact mentioned In the $50 bulletin, that
the gland has made an opening spoutane-
| ously into the mouth. No pus found its
way into his mouth, and it Is not likely any
| will, for the reason II can escape much more
easily through the external outlet. The
opening into the mouth is about the middle
of the cheek, and in the position In which
the patient lies most of the time, there ar,
two or three external openings lower down
which drain all the pus from that part of the
gland with which the mouth Is in communi
cation. No danger whatever of any kind Ii
apprehended from this new feature of til,
glandular suppuration. Reyburn says TIN
pus is not likely to get into the mouth, ant
even If 1t should 1t would do no harm. Al
this hour (11:30) the pulse is nearly down te
100; temperature and respiration norma
and his condition as satisfactory as at an.
| time during the day.
