BULLETINS.
The President Rallies From Sundays
Siege.
Slow Progress of His Case-He i.
Becoming Anxious.
The Physicians Admit that His Con
dition is Critical.

Washington, Aug. 22.-9:30 a. m.
The assurance contained in the morning
bulletin that the stomach had reassert-
ed itself, and that other indications
were no less satisfactory, raised the
hopes of the Respondent this morning.
The night compared with the proceed
ing one was comparatively quiet one.
The president woke frequently. but
not SO often as the night before. the
accumulation of phlegm being less
troublesome. About a. m. the presi-
dent asked for koumis and small
quantity was given him, and retained by
the stomach. The morning dressing
showed normal temperature and res
plration and the pulse two beats less
than yesterday morning. The wound
was found to be doing well, and the in
famed gland in about the same condi-
tion as last night. DR.. Reyburn said at
Q a. M: 1.-THE swelling is no worse, and
the general condition of the president
is a little better" The anxiety is some
what lessened by the developments Of
the morning, but that the gravity Of
the situation is still apparent.
4:15 p. M: DIR. Bliss at p. m. said
to representative of the associated
press, that the president had had q
much more favorable afternoon than
yesterday and was doing fairly we'll. He

the shape of milk porridge and koumis,
without difficulty, and has, in the opin-
ion Of the surgeons, had enough to-
day to sustain strength. He suffers no
further annoyance from the secretions
OF mucous in his throat and is entirely
free from pain. He asked DR.. Bliss
this afternoon what he thought of his
condition, and the doctor replied that if
he could keep down nourishment
enough he would get through all right.
Tho president then inquired how long
it would be, If he should make favora-
BILE progress, before he could make q
trip on a steamer to go to Mentor. The
doctor could not, however, give him a
definite reply. None of the presidents
symptoms are worse this afternoon, and
some of them are better. HIS condition
continues critical, but his attendants
think there is little more room for
encouragement.
$50 p, M: The president has con-
tinued to take liquid nourishment in
small quantities at intervals during the
entire day, and has had no return Of
nausea or vomiting. The wound is
looking well, and the work of repair is
going on in all exposed to view. The
pus discharge is healthy. At present
his pulse is ITO, temperature 100 1-10,
and respiration 10.
1890 p. M: The president this morn
ing began the day in q condition which
was regarded as slightly better than
that shown by the last official bulletins
yesterday. He had passed a quieter
and more comfortable night than an
ticipated. There has been no recur-
renee of vomiting. which excited SO
much alarm yesterday afternoon, and
the pulse before he awoke at q. m.
was down to 9S. This auspicious
opening of the day seems to justify, or
at least make more reasonable the be-
lief of a few sanguine persons that the
case is about to take favorable turn.
la. m.: Since IL O'Clock the presi-
dent has rested quietly and comfortably
and at this hour is asleep.
Blaine to Lowell: The president has
been able to swallow and retain about
20 ounces of liquid flood to-day, show
ing more favorable state of the stom-
ach, but the general condition is seri-
OIs il not critical. He is weak, ex-
hausted and emeciated, not weighing
over 1875. His weight when wounded
was from 206 to 210 pounds. The
failure to gain strength is the one feature
which gives especial uneasiness and
apprehension.
"a. m. No material change in the
presidents condition has been observed
by the attendants at the bedside since
II p. m. Since midnight he has rested
well, sleeping most Of the time.
