Presidents cOrdiilon was anything but en-
eaur,gipr: or. another theory was, that
nr Amen had advised the physicians to
Dive nothing but official information about
TIE ease.
An INTERVIEW WITH DR.. AGNEw.
4 more bope'al feeling prevailed at the
White House this evening than at any time
dnring the diy. Or. Agnew, who will re-
main here until tomorrow afternoon, 1n-
formed the anxious reporters IN secretary
Browns room that the President was then
ntS o'clock doing very nicely. "The dis.
charge o. puS has been very satisfactory"
said The eminent physician, "and do not
L.lievs that there Is aBy obstruction remain
inc" .sDO YOU believe that all the fraE-
ue,,s NJ bone have been removed z" asked
9reDorter. q do" answered the Doctor,
adding. "and It was the removal OF those
fragments that has given him such relief.
Thes kent the wound in1amed, and we're
dorb,less quite irritating. Food and rest
are what the President pow needs Mostly
as Il true" asked another reporter,
Gtbat an efoIt will be made to extract the
bal:N
An effort may he made after awhile,
but no, now. The patient is not strong
enough 10 stand the operation"
90 YOU consider the President to be in
imminent dangerI"
"Well ne is sill a very sick man, but |
won't say that he is by any means out OF
dlDger.'
Or. AgneW is q very cheerful man, and
hi, confidence has given hope TO the Other
physicians and 10 Mrs. Garfield, who held a
long and earnest conversation with him TINS
afternoon. II i the opinion OF great
many that Dr. Agnew's bold and successful
operatioa Yesterday and to-day Will result
In saving the Presidents life. Since en-.
ieriDg the mansion be has taken full charge
Of the ease. and the otter physicians obey
bis Instructions willingly.
HOW THE INCIsION WAS MADE.
4 good story is told Of how DR.. A0new
msie The incislon, just below the Presi-
dents wound, Sunday morning. He did
not care 10 alarm OF excite the patient un-
necessarily, and therefore. when the sur
face VI the wound had been frozen with
elber.spray, he picked up his knife, ana,
turning to one Of the physicians, SAID, "
think we ought to make the incision here"
and os be uttered The last word the kn1e
deily. penetrated the flesh, pus began to
fJw, and the operation was over before
even tue patient was aware that 1t had taken
place.
DR. HAMILTON SAYS HE WILL RECOVER
A special telegram from New York SAYS
d.. Frank II. Hamilton says that he could
convey bis whole knowledge and belief IN
regard to the Presidents case 10 Few
words. "The chances" DR.. Hamilton
aid, care in bis favor"
You think he will get wellY"

at has been declared that the symptoms
at his last relapse were those OF py@mla, or
poisoning"
"There has been no py@mia. The symp-
toms be displayed were partially those OF
p@mia. They were partially also those OF
smallpox. He bad nausea and fever,
Which are symptoms that prtcede small
pOx."
Would you be willing TO express your
seI any more strongly, Doctor, In regard 10
the Presidents recovery
81 can only say that the chances are In
bis favor. He is more likely to get well
lhan not. When left him last night said
