dangerous this morning than at any previous
time. The first callers this morning were
Postmaster General James and Second As
sistant Postmaster General Elmer. Both left
with bright faces. and DR.. Bliss, who is now
looking over the mornings mail, looks very
well satisfied with the course matters are
taking

Attorney General MacVeagh says the Presi-
dents condition is very favorable indeed. He
does not consider that the President is out of
danger yet, but says he appears to be passing
out of danger as steadily and rapidly as can be
expected.
The symptoms of the President continue to
be favorable. Reports that jaundice set in or
that thefehavc been any unfavorable turn in
the case are surrounded.
