Indicative of serious results
A gentleman IN conversation with friend to-
night intlmated that DR.. Agnew, in the course of n
few remarks to-nigh mt, had gwen him title en-
enlargement regarding the Presidents prospects of
recovery but this is believed to be exaggerated
misconstrued.
There is cerarinly no ground for denying that the
patient is decidedly low, and unless change oc-
ours by morning there will be grave apprehensions
but il is almost confidently expected that the
ing dressing VIII show an improvements.

night was given by Private Secretary Brown. who
stated that Or. Reyburn reported at 1890 O'clock
that the pulse had fallen TO about us, and the

clent reason for waiting longer.
After starting the pulse gradually went down to
1Qs l06, loi. and at time the journey reach
ed lo2 Then IT went up aean-for the journey
was rather fatiguing-to 40 on the arrival
Or. Bliss was positive in the expression Of opinion
that the increase of pulse and temperature was due
alone to the fatigue of the journey. The wound he
said. was doing very well. II was in better con-
dlGon than at the last dressing; there was more
granuiatlon going on and ii was freshcr and
brighter in appearance. He would not say that il
was marked Improvement but it was better and
the external appcarance of tho wound was better.
