WASHINGTON, August 2Sd-S P G-From
tbs best information obtained at this hour
Including two of the attending physicians, it
may be said that the condition of the Presi-
dent has not charged in any respect since
quantities OF nourishment, and this circum-
sessce OF course affords rational grounds for
feeling of encouragement; but the same
uncertainty which prevailed yesterday with
regard TO the future course of the glandular
Inflammation prevails to-day, and there is still
some question whether the patient can take
nourishnent enough to sustain his strength
through the present critical stage of his case.
The Indications ara that he can, bus until

held. II can only be said that the patient is
certainly no worse in any respect and that
his ability to take nourishmens is steadily
Increasing.
Review of the Day.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, August 23i-10:SO
P. M-Tne President has had rather better
day than was generally anticipated. The
somewhat discorrsging tone of Secretary
Blaine's kilograms to Minister Lowell last
night seemed 50 prepare the public for the
worst. ard although the official bulletin this
morning was not uniavarable general feel
ing of anxiety aud apprehension prevailed
both at the Executive Mansion and through
ont the city. 1t seemed to be almost gen.
erailv conceded that the condition of the
Presidsrs WAS III the highest degree critical
and alarming, and on the streets il four per-
soas were asked what they thought of the
Presideuts- chances, they would have re-
piled, /" His death Is question of a few days,
ifnot few hours" For this excitement and
alarm however, the real facts Of the case
hardly f,-nished sufficient Justification The
condition Of the Presidsnt was the subject of
grave anxiety to the surgeons his attendants
and Mrs Garfield, but not more so than yes
terday and not go much 30 as on Sunday.
That afternoon there was really greater rea-
son for Encouragement than at any time
ainae then, because there seemed then
TO be eniy very faint hope that
the patents demoralizad stomach conld
be Brought to resume its functions. As soon
- the President began to swallow food again

naore hopeful. Without adequate nourish-
nent death FROM exhaustion seemed inevita-

i've. IL a qualified sense, therefore, he was

though has general condition had not
materially changed. Before the morning
ounces of beef Juice without nausea or dis
comfort, and this increasing ability to
take uourishment encouraged the surgeons to
hops that the danger from exhaustion, which
they regard with the most apprehension,
might Be- avoided The President passed

swallowed sixteen or seventeen ounces OF
feed, but there had been no indications of an

glandGlSr sw cling remained hard, and showed
no change in size o. appearance, and the
amount q nncus secretei in the back part
OF the mouth was about the same as yester-
