ing Vas sent this morning to each of the

yate secretary:
ENECUrIyE MANSION, s \. NJ.
The slight fever which made its APP
pearance between 5 anil 10 last evening,
but which subsidized during the night, is
not noticeable this morning. This ie-
brile rise is due to local and temporary
causes, rather than to any general un-
favorable change in the Presidents con-
dition lie is as we'll now rs at the same
hour Yesterday morning, and this, taken
into consideration with the fact that he
didn't sleep SO we'll a5 on the previous
night, seems to indicate gain in his
favor

The Attack Sets In.
At seven O'Clock this morning the
President showed the usual morning
symptoms OF recovery, but about eight
o'clock ne was attacked with something
like chill. He shook all over, ami ms
muscles all became rigid with what the
surgeon calls rigor This chilly, siak.
ing sensation lasted till . a. VI. when
lever set in and rose rapidly. The paISe
went I'D 10 l30. but in an hour or 50
declined some. The doctors are not
able to define the cause OF the change:
The flow OF pus from the wound stopped
this morning and the surgeons say this
NAV have caused the change in the Pres.
ident's condition. 4 longer drainage
tube was substituted and the doctors
pressed on the stomach and bowels, bur
very little pus eNudet. Whether TINS
| means that the wound is healing be-
| tween where the ball is AMI the mouth
OF the wCuni, or that an abCess Is form
| Ing, is not known. DIR. Bliss said Just
| now that he could not see the cause oil
| the change. The surgeons feel somewhat
| uneasy.
Cabinet Summoned
| al iOur OF the Presidents surgeons
| are now making an examination TO see
II they can determine the cause OF the
change in his condition. The Cabinet
Ministers were all sent for and have
come to the White House. There is
! great deal of uneasiness in the city grow
| ing out OF the tact that nothing definite
| can be learned from the surgeons.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, 80 =. M.-The
Presidents symptoms at this hour are a
little more favorable than at the date OF
the last unofficial bulletin, but his con
dition is not materially changed. The
surgeons have Just telegraphed Drs.
Hamilton and Agnew to come to Wash
ington at once for consultation.
Better Than at the Bulletin.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, IL: 80 \. NJ -Dr.
| Bovnton, who has just come from the
| Presidents chamber, attributes the rise
| in the Presidents pulse and tempera-
| ture to some obstruction IN the way
| OF Tree discharge OF puS from the
wound. symptoms OF granulatlon were
noticed along the track OF the ball, yes
terday, and it is possible that this heat

! paratively near the external surface OF
| the body blamed up quantity OF pus III
the deeper part ot the wound, and that
the chill and increased fever are to he
thus accounted Tor The discharge this
morning, although perfectly normal and
healthy in its character, was unusually
! scanty, which would seem to indicate
that its how has been in some way ian
peded or interrupted The chill men

quite severe, the pulse runnIn. up 10

Uneasiness and Alarm.
At half.past II O'Clock the surgeons
made a partial examination OF the
President, but he seemed incined to
rest, and they did not want 10 disturb
him much. The result ri this eXamia-
alton as given by the surgeons Is that
his condition is not any more favorable
! than several hours ago. In order not
| TO disturb the President no other cX-
animation will be made till O'Clock
this evening. The doctors are V ~
reticent. only saying that the chang Is
probably caused by stoppagt of lsr
discharge from the wound. They will
not give any opinions, but say the y
hope for the best.
