MORNING BULLETIN.

Execution Mansion, 2.30 p.m.-At
the morning dressing of the Presi-
dent the swelling of the parotid
gland was discharging freely. 1t
looks well and continues to dimin-
ish in size. The state of the wound
remainsegenerally in the same con-
dition. 1t is not materially changed
from this hour yesterday, except the
pulse is somewhat more frequent,
being 1O8, temperature $50, respir-
alton Is. fa
BEEF STEAK AND CHICKEN.
The President is having a quiet,
comfortable day. He chewed an
other piece of beef steak and swal-
lowed the juice at 8 this morning.
Since then he has had a litti7i
Chicken cooked III milk, bUoidco Che
usual beef extract and pOrridge.
All symptoms continue favorable.
In conversation this morning BOyn-
ton said the President was doing as
nicely as they could wish. The
slight fever which occurred last
evening was not, DR.. BoyntOn
thinks, matter Of any great cOnSe-
quence. Its duration was transient
and it was nothing more than one
of the fluctuations which are to be
anticipated as long as the President
remains in his present weak state.
He does not gain much bodily
strength. think he made little
progress in that respect yesterday
as much as we could reasonably eX-
pect. His general appearance, how
ever, has improved considerably.
The gland this morning looks
very well. He is not ner-
vous and the sudden roar of
passing train would not shock
him. Noises in his own room shock
him less than they would a well
person. The chief danger is in
OvertaXing his strength. Possibly
he will be first taken to Long
Branch or some northern seaside
resort. He is quite as well as yester-
day. There is no danger from the
opening into the mouth. The
wound is doing well, but is not dis
charging as much as l would like
If he progresses rapidly for a few
days he may be moved within a
week. He could go by water or rail
without injury.
Executive Mansion, Washington,
$50 p.m.-The condition of the
President has not materially
changed since the last bulletin, ex-
cept that there has been a moderate
rise of temperature this afternoon.
1t having been represented to us
that portion of our mornings
bulletin has been misunderstood, we
would state that the President has
had no rigOrs for several weeks. At
present his pulse is 10S, temperature
1914, respiration IS.
