 The fact that the Presidents physician i considered his progress towards conva 1escence so well established that the Issuanc of noon bulletin WAS unnecessary seems f have furnished pretext for wild rumor 1 abroad. There was little of the kind here but teleerams were continually received dur \ ing the day by private parties and others Il ! New York to the effect that private informa | tion from the White House went to show tha l the President was worse again. Those wht I have been spending the most time at thu | White House knew at once that there was ns l truth in the reports. The physicians were exceedingly vexed that anyone should seize upon the favorable indications to make ar l unfavorable sensation. They hastened tc | disabuse the public of the idea that there could be no official denial of the false rumors | of midday as shown in these despatches this afternoon
 The fact is that the President has been do- l ing fully as well to-day as any day since the shooting. There has not been the slightest l unfayorable symptom and he has been slowly | and steadily gaining. There has been some comment by outside surgeons on the fact that the Presidents pulse and temperature have not been reduced to their normal condition. The attending physicians say that the, main. tenance of those symptoms above the normal point is naturally to be expected. They are kept up, they say, by the irritation to which the President is naturally subjected. His lm- provement since Monday has been marked and satisfactory, and his symptoms this morn ing were very encouraging. He is now talk ing more than the usual amount of nourish- ment, including steaks, milk, extract of toast saturated with beef juice, potatoes and a little coffee. His strength is increasing daily and he is now able to do more in the way of turn ing himself in the bed and helping others to raise his body than the surgeons think wise to allow. He remained in a had obOf inc hours to-day. He is reaping great ben eft from this change, particularly as the heart has freer action. The plain lan- 9uage of Dr. Hamilton has had remarkably reassuring effect. When asked how the pa- tient was, he answered, ''Oh, he is doing better than when you last saw him ?" ''Yes, he looks better, but there has been no partic- ular change in his condition. His face will hardly regain it's natural appearance until he gets out of doors'' ssWhen will that be ?" ''That is matter of conjecture as yet, but it will not be long before he will be able to bear removal 'sThen you think the President will get we'll" continued the inquirer q have no doubt of it, :" replied the doctor Dr. Hamilton further said that there was no truth in the story that the President was affected by malaria. He asked in doubting way if stories about there being so much malarial sickness in the house were true, and when
 
 sick with chills and fever, he replied in the most positive manner that there was no malaria in the Presidents symptoms. When asked about the wound he said, s'It is in very good condition and looks we'll" ''Is it healing in the remote DOT tions?" '"That I cannot say. We do not know that it is healing there. Without bet ter knowledge of the deeper portions of the wound than we now have we cannot say that if iS hoo1iro fhora Ara fhara cio that the ball is encysting or not ?'' q can not say as to that. We don't know whether it is or not"
 Dr. Bliss, when questioned on the same subject, said: ''We hope the ball is encyst- ing The discharge of pus seems not to come the process of encysting is going on." s'There is general improvement, is there not ?'' ''Yes; he has got a better pulse, the voice is better, and there is general improvement all round" 'Is there any truth, Doctor, in the statement that the ball will have to be taken out before the President can walk ?'' 'None whatever. Another lie is the report that every time the President moves the pressure of the abdomen causes pain in the neighborhood of the ball''
 Dr. Reyburn stated to-day that one of the reasons why they had dispensed with the monday bulletin was because they could not find new expressions when there is nothing 70 say put bQa6 uo was SLOWLY recovering. Dr. Reyburn stated that the wound was dis charging healthy pus freely, and was granu- lating rapidly. The probabilities are that the ball is becoming encysted. Anyhow they had no approximations of any trouble on that &C., count.
 Guiteau is described by the jail attendants as one of the most quiet and inoffensive prisoners in the jail. Whenever he knows what is wanted of him he complies cheerful ly and never utters complaints. He sleeps well and does not appear at all stricken with remorse. All his wants are attended to in his cell. His hair is cut and his beard trimmed by an attendant. He does not ap- pear over particular as to his food, the only point on which he insists being that he shall lean meat are parcelled out for him. He relishes his food, and seems perfectly con- tented with his meat, bread and coffee.
 The comprehensive and satisfactory char acter of the bulletin issued this evening by the Presidents physicians is the best evi- dence of the continued good progress of the patient. There was no sign of febr1le rise until near the time for the evening dress ing, and it continued about two hours and without acceleration of pulse or respiration to an unwonted degree, while the temperature scarcely rose above 100. It was thought that the usual hypodermic injection could be omitted Soon after the
  dents bed was arranged for the night and he fell asleep as easily as has been his habit under the anodyne. He slept well and has rested quietly during the entire evening" At 11:30 p. m. he was asleep with no signs of fever or unfavorable symptoms whatever. There were half dozen callers at the mansion tonight. They and the doc tors, excepting two that remain all night, went home earlier than usual.
