quarters that the bulletins could not be taken as
fair indices of his real condition that IN fact he
was each day growing weaker and making steady
drains upon his vitality prolong his life
Today, however there is n very general feeling Of
confidence that the critical point has been safely
passed and that the President is slowly but surely
entering upon the road TO conv aescence The men,
bcrs OF the Cabinet called at the White House this
morning usual before going to their several De-
partments. and, with not single exception, went
away from the sick room with buoyant feel
ings of confidence than they have at any time enter
taincd since the day the President was wounded
Secretary Blaine said in conversation today that
the bulletins could be taken in perfect confidence
and that the Presidents recovery might be con-
slutTed almost removed from any question of uncer-
tainty. As was Indicated by his dispatch to-day to
MiniSter Lowell. Mr. Blaine has the most per
lect confidence in the Presidents recovery. Secre-
tary Lincoln also speaks with the utmost confidence
OF the Presidents recovery. lie has abandoned his
