Special Dispatches to THE EVENING STAR
LONG BRANCH, N. j., Sept. 10, 1910 p. m.-
The day opened with southeast storm pre-
vaiiing, necessitating the keeping of fire in the
Presldent's room for hygienic purposes. All
through last night dense fog prevailed. At
eleven O'Clock this morning the storm cloud
broke away and the sun came out The Presi-
dent is now in about the same condition as
when the morning bulletin was issued He
takes nourishment as freely as yesterday. The
doctors are cheerful but very reticent to-day.
DIR. BLISS GIVES GOOD ACCOUNT OF THE
WOUND.
DR.. Bliss says the wound is granulating well.
and that it is healing from the bottom and is
probably ten inches long now. He says, in ex-
planation of their indisposition to probe for it.
that they decided that the wound
is in the shape of the letter S.
the beginning being in the back and the bullet
lodging in the right groin. He says that if they
had prObed for it, the PROBE flexible as it might
be. would have been very likely, instead of turn
ing the corners. to break and destroy many
delicate cellular tissues, and they decided not to
take the risk. He says the capsule of the liver
was undoubtedly touched and broken but that it
has healed up andi iSno longer a source of trouble
This morning they discovered black spot over
the bullet, but DR.. Bliss does not anticipate any
immediate trouble from that source If the bui-
let forms pus cavity there. they will cut it out.
1Of they know where it is DR.. Bliss saws the
wound was probably originally eighteen inches
deep. but the last incision they made On the back
TO assist the suppuration shortened it some six
inches. The track from where the bullet went
IN to the point where they reached it from the
last incision is all healed.
DOCTOR HAMILTON SAYS
the ball is encysted in the groin near the lilac
artery, and he has known where it has been for
two weeks. He thinks the President will carry
the bullet in his groin, but that it will occasion
no discomfort.
THE PRESIDENT TO SEE VISITORS.
1t has been decided by the doctors to allow
visitors to the Presidents ROOM This privilege
for the present will be confined to the members
OF the Cabinet, and their visits will be very
short. Secretaries Window and Lincoln are to
call this evening. Yesterday the Attorney Gem
eral was in the sick room about three minutes.

that the public business is not suffering because
OF his illness. and that they will not talk to him
pected down Tomorrow and he, too. will be
allowed to see the patient.

STORMY NIGHT AT LONG BRANCH.
Long BRANCH, Sept 10, 1890 a.m.-The |
is very stormy. A drenching south |
easterly storm set in during the night and bids |
fair to continue throughout the day. The ocean |
is hazy and the weather sultry. Col. Corbin |
said early this morning that the President |
had passed q fair night: that he was |
quite comfortable and while he had slept suffi- |
GENTLY he did not rest as well as he might have.
The attending physicians say that the morning |
bulletin tells the whole story. 1t is the idea of |
DR.. Bliss to make the bulletin more detailed and |
Notwithstanding the slight rise |
in pulse and temperature, noted in the morning |
bulletin, the President is considered to be quite
as well as yesterday. Further than this little |
can be said, inasmuch as there are no details to
explain. and the President is certainly gaining |
ground without the appearance of unfavorabe |
symptoms or indications. The stormy weather |
has the effect of keeping almost every one in |
doors and many have left for the city. Post
master General James will call on the President |
some time during the day.
The President Continues to Improve.
CONTRADICTION OF FALSE REPORTS
LONG BRANCH. Sept. 10. pm-There are |
various rumors afloat here to-day regarding the |
Presidents condition, and it would appear that |
some persons are determined to create false !
impression on the subject. While the attending |
surgeons have not been seen personally for an |
hour or SO, reliable information has been. re- |
celved by representative of the Associated |
Press that the President continues to improve, |
and that nothing unfavOrable has been observed |
in his symptoms. The rain has ceased, but 1t is
still very close and the atmosphere is Oppress-
lively heavy.
What DR.. Agnew Says This Afternoon.
ELBERON, NJ, Sept. 10. 225 pm.-Dr. Agnew
states that the figures have not been taken re-
GENTLY He considers the President quite as well |
as he was yesterday.
