DIR. Bliss reports that the cOndi-
ton of the President has much i'm.
proved since noon. His pulse Is
now below 100 and his general
sym ptoms show Improvement.
There is not the slightest iudica-
tien of p, 90 mia, which is the dam
ger most TO be feared. A cor.
respondent says: I have just seen
Secretary Blaine and Postmaster
General James. They say that the
President at this time see ms better
than at any time o.day. "This is
the twenty-first day." said Mr..
Blaine, sand 1t is considered The
dangerous period in f.ver and guu-
shot wounds. The President has
never been out Of danger and
change of this kind was not
improbable. We do not consider
tne President to be in i'm mediate
danger.n Both these gentlemen
have left the White House as the
President was still sleeping.
The stock operators are keeping
the wires busy with sensational
reports. They are unreliable.

symptoms which manifested them

ft Is the opinion of the attending
surgeons that the chill and subse !.
quent fever this morning were
caused by the formation Of a pus
oivity at some point along the
track of the bullet, but this cannot
b. positively asserted until after
the evening examination. DR..
B 8, says he has Ia his practice
had cases where the formation of q
pu1 cavity in q wound was fol-
lowed by u much severer chill and
higher fever than the President
has had to day and that 1t is not
neo. ssarily an alarming feature In
case of this kind.
Bulletin 1850 p. Secretary
Blaine has ist sent the following
telegram to Lowell, American Min
lister at LoLdon: About noon to-
day the Presidents condition be.
came very suddenly worse. He
had chills, alternating with fever.
an increased pulse aud very high
temperature. His sympt ms at
haif-past four are better and he is
much easier In every respect. The
consulting surgeons, Drs. Hamil-
ton, of New York, and Agnew, of
Philadelphia, have been su mmoned
aud are now en- route to Washing
