 WASHINGTON, Aug 1.-The general con dition of the President to-day has been in ae. cordance with the hopes expressed by the phy ysicians yesterday, though the pulse kept up pretty well.

 THE PRESIDENT WRITES TO HIS MOTHER. The President remained with his head and shoulders raised all day. Early in the after noon he asked for paper and pencil. He made no explanation and wrote quietly for few minutes, filling one page of common lap tablet. The writing was letter of fifty words addressed to his mother in an encour- aging tone and in good cheer and signed with his full name. No one suggested the act and he finished it without letting anyone know what he was about. The letter was sent to Mrs. Garfield at her home in Ohio. The text is not made public for obvious reasons and the incident is mentioned merely to show how far his nerves are from prostra- t1on. The afternoon fever set in about four o'clock and reached the same height as last night No anodyne was given. The President went to sleep be- fore p. m., and slept soundly until near midnight. His pulse was not taken after p. m., but was apparently less frequent and certainly more soft and regular. The Cabi- net officers who called as usual received as- surances that the Presidents debility had reached it's lowest stage, and he might soon be expected to mend. No unfavorable symp- toms had appeared up to II p. m., at which time the doors were closed. Dr. Hamilton arrived at 10 p. na., but did not see the Presi- dent.

 pecially for fishermen en route and for poll

 with those of the two Senators elect, and
 ex-Collector Merritt, has any intention of
 going to the St. Lawrence, nor has been con-
 suited about any conference. Secretary
 Blaine has not yet reached here on his way to Maine and an intimate personal and po- itlcal friend says that he will not consult with anyone about New York's local political concerns.
