TO ENGLAND.

lowing was sent this morning:

of the President are all hopeful and favor
able, Suppuration goes on with no high

per dav is relished and digested,
and his physical strength keeps up

and active Without showing any excite
ment his physicians do not count him be-

the President and Mrs. Garfield, Harry and

WHAT NEW YORK THINKS.
WASHINGTON, July 11.-A gentleman
from New York who arrived in this city
this morning, says there is an impression
among persons of that city, that the bulle-
tins issued regarding the Presidents condi-
ton are more or less colored for the pur-
pose of aIlaying public apprehension, lie
also says many people incline TO the opln-
ion that original kilograms from time to
timo to Doctors .Agnew and Hamilton,
consulting physicians, regarding the Pres
ident's condition are not given out for pub
ication, and that kilograms purportlng 10
be copies of these are sent
There has been no inita bility OF the stom-
ache at any time last evening. AT 715 he
received quarter grain morphia sulphate
hypodermically, and slept well during the
night. The wound was again dressed an
ticeptically yesterday evening
PHYSICIANS certificates are prepared Tor
the purpose of preventing any undue ex-
citement and consequently do not give the
condition of the president as it really ap-
pears. These theories, if they do not ex-
ist, are entirely erroneous. in as much as
the official bulletins issued are written by
the physicians in charge and contain the
presidents true condition at the time of
their issuance. The same plan is adopted
with regard to information which is dis
patcned to consulting physicians In both
instances the contents are invariably tel
grapfed to the press from the original
copies 1t is not the intention of the ply
sicians to express any opinion in bulletins
issued, but merely to convey to the public
the patients true condition from time to
time.
GETTING STRONGER.
WASHINGTON, July 11.-Upon being
asked this morning if the President was
growing stronger, DR.. Bliss impatiently
asked, how do you expect man to grow
stronger on 10 ounces of liquid food in 12
days, pretty high ten days fast and drain
of dangerous wound-no he IS not grow
ing stronger When the fever leaves him,
when the wound is healed and he is eating
12 ounces of beef steak three times day,
I1rVfh ia
every day nearer to the time when he viii
be growing stronger and that is quite
enough for us to be thankful
for, is it not? Do you consider the
President better than yesterday morning?
Yes, undoubtedly the pulse and tempera-
ture are lower all were somewhat disturb
ed at the increase of temperature which
took place Saturday and continued consid-
erably during Sunday but this morning it
is down again and the pulse is back to 80,
by the end of this week | have the strong
est faith that the President will be out of
danger and viii be growing stronger fast
enough to satisfy our friends here.
Postmaster General James has good word
for even office seekers. He says scarcely
half dozen have approached him by card
during the last week upon the subject of
their claims.
