II. Hamilton and DR.. II. Agnew: Shortly af-
ter our dispatch OF yesterday, the President
received hypodrine injection of one-eighth
of grain of sulphate of morphia. He slept

as comfortable as yesterday. A slight
gastric disturbance was noted towards noon,
in consequence of which the quantity of NOR
phia administered was tenn pOrarily diminished.
This was followed by rather more afternoon
fever than yesterday but the difference was
not great, and is thought to be temporary
fuctuaton. At 10 this evening his pulse was
9S, temperature 9S.5, respiration IL. Att
o'clock this evening the pulse was 102, tenn
perature 1907, respiration 81.

TOO MUCH FOOD AND OVER EXERTION.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, July
1S-1l:3O-i he Presidents afternoon fever
was a little more strongly marked than last
night, pulse showing an increase of four
beats, temperature rose five tenths and respira-
ton slight corresponding acceleration as
compared with the maximum yesterday. In
any other patient this trifling increase in in
tensity of fever would be regarded as
natural fluctuations, and would not excite
especial remark, but the Presidents symptoms
are so closely watched from day to day. and

country, that an unfavorable change, how
ever slight, seems to have greater significance
than really attaches to 1t, and
is liable in its explanation to cause
apprehension. 1t is proper, therefore, to say
by way of comment on to-night's official bull
letin, that the facts therein give no uneasiness
to the attending surgeons. There is slight
increase of fever, but it arises from known
causes, and is undoubtedly of a transient char
acter. The reasons assigned are as follows:
The President, during the past three
days, and more especially to-day,
has taken largely increased
quantity of solid food. His stomach is still
sensitive, and manifests sensltiveness when
overtaxed. This disturbance was caused to-
day, and this gastric trouble is thought to
have been largely instrumental in aggravating
the febrile symptoms. The President also this
afternoon became over-wearied in the hands
of the barber. He expressed desire to
have his beard and hair trimmed, ald his head
rubbed, and at mis- request barber was sum-
moned. The latter spent some time rubbing
him, and although the immediate effects were
pleasurable, the results were over fatigue and
increased lever. Aside, however, from the
transient rise in pulse and temperature, the
Presidents symptoms continue favorable.
SLEEPING QUIETLY.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, July 10, 1:30 A. M
The President is sleeping quietly. Indications
still favorable.
Longing for the Sea Shore.
NEW YORK, July 1S.-A Washington
special says the intense warmth of the
President, with his confinement, which
finds expression in almost every CONVEX
sation with his friends and attendants,
and the anxiety of DR.. Boynton to secure
for Mrs. Garfield change of scene and
air, has led to the discussion of ways and
means to make movement without dan
ger DR.. Blsss says the motion of the
train might be hurtful even month
from now, while the dangers of the
track, the noise, crowds, ETC., render that
mode of travel out of the question for
many weeks. Col Rockwell proposes
