THE DOCTORS CHEERFUL-COSD1TION OP THE
WOUND, &C.
WASHINGTON, September 1O.-The Stars
| special from Long Branch says:
The day opened with a southeast storm
prevailing, necessitating the keeping OF a
fire in the Presidents room for hygienic
purposes. All through last night a dense
fog prevailed. At II O'Clock this morning
the storm. cloud broke away and the sun
came out. The President is now in about
the same condition as when the morning
bulletin was issued. He takes nourish-
ment as freely ss yesterday. The doctors
are cheerful but very r%eticent to-day.
Or. Bliss says the wound is granulating
well, and that II Is healing from the bottom
and is probably ten inches long now. He
says. in explanation Of their ~indisposiiion TO
probe for It, that they decided that the
wound is In the shape Of the letter s, the
beginning being in the back and the bullet
lodging in the right groin. He says that II
they bad probed for il, the probe, flexible as
II might be, would have been very likely.
instead Of turning the corner, TO break
and destroy many delicate cellular It's
sues, and they decided not TO take the
risk. He says the capsule OF the liver
was undoubtedly touched and broken, but
that it has healed up, and Is no longer n
source OF trouble. This morning they dis
lcOyered q black spot over the bullet, but
| DR.. Bliss does not anticipate any immediate
trouble from that source. IL the bullet
forms a pus cavity there they will cut it
out, for they know where II Is. DIR. Bliss
says the wound was probably originally
eighteen inches deep, but the last incision
they made on the back to assist the sup
puration shortened il some six inches. The
track from where the bullet went in to the
point where they reached ii from the last
~incision is all healed.
Doctor Hamilton says the ball is encysted
in the groin near the lilac artery, and he
has known where IL has been for two weeks.
He thinks the President will carry tho bull
let in his groin, but that it will occasion no
discomfort.
II has been decided by the doctors to
allow visitors TO the Presidents room.
This privilege for the present will be con-
fined TO the members OF the Cabinet, and
their visits will be very short. Secretaries
Window and Lincoln are to call this eve
ming. Yesterday the Attorney General was
in the sick-roOm about three minutes. IL
has been decided by the Cabinet that each
member when he calls will answer the Pre-
sident that the public business Is not suffer-
ing because OF his illness, and that they
will not talk to him on any business sub.
ject. Bob Ingersoll is expected down to-
morrow. and he, too, VIII be allowed TO see
the patient.
Colonel Corbin will leave here to-day to
BRING on the Presidents carriage.
Next week the Cabinet will scatter. Sec
%retaries Window and Lincoln will 90 to the
White Mountains, and POstmaster-G General
James to Fire Island, to get relief from a
bad attack Of hay-fever.
DIR. Bliss this afternoon predicts marked
improvement in the Presidents condition
In a day or two. He says everything Is all
right. The reserve OF those who have ae-
cess TO the Presidents cottage led some
people to believe that the doctors feel dis
appointed. The great trouble now Is TO
keep the patients temperature down.
GAINING GROUND
Long BRANCH, September 10000 A. II.
This morning 1t is very stormy, and dreneh-
ing southeasierlyU storms set in during The
night and bids fair to continue throughout
the day. The ocean is hazy and the weather
sultry. Colonel COrbins said early this
morning that the President had passed q
fair night; that he was quite comfortable,
and while he had slept sufficiently, but rest
less, the attending physicians say the morn
ing bulletin tells the whole story. II . the
idea OF DR.. Bliss to make the bulletins more
detailed and comprehensive.
Notwithstanding the slight rise In pulse
and temperature noted in the morning bull
Ietin, the President Is considered quite as
well as yesterday. The President Is GER
tainly gaining ground without the approach
OF unfavoTabla symptoms.
The stormy weather has the effect oil
keeping almost every one indoors, and many
have len Tor the city. Postmaster-Genera
James will call on the President some time
during the day.
