Additional White House Notes of the 9Th
The Presi dents Favorable symptoms-
Hiorts TO Improve the Atmosphere Of the
Sick Mans Room.
Settled quietness prevails Mt the white
house, and the hope of the presidents
recovery has grown into general belief.
Except the cabinet officers and newspa.
per correspondents but few visitors are
here tonight. Dorsey has one of the
fire engines in the white house yard for
the purpose of testing its capacity for
COMPRISING air for lowering the temper
ature in the presidents room. Dorsey
has not much confidence in the success
of the experiment, but thinks it may do
some good. Compressed air will be
thrown into the white house through
rubber hose. A fire engine has been tel
egraphed for to New York, and will
reach here tomorrow. When it arrives
Dorsey says hc will be able to keep the
temperature at any degree. The doc
tors declare, DR.. Hepburn said to an as
sociated press reporter at 10 o'clock, that
the presidents condition is more hopeful
than ever. That all the symptoms are
favorable and the surgeons hopes in
crease every hour. He said the rise in
the pulse and temperature to-day was
due to the cure, and is thoroughly un-
derstood.
1t can now be stated, on the authority
of DIR. Bliss, that the probabilities are
now largely on the side of recovery.
There is nc difficulty remaining which
the physicians do not feel confident of
their ability to overcome.
Executive Mansion, July 8, II AS D. m.
Although the pulse and temperature
OF the president has been rather higher
to-day than yesterday, on account of
suppnration, which is now going on in
the wound. he has passed comfortable
day. There has been no return OF the
acidity of the stomach, caused yesterday

he ate, and he has not suf.
fered to-day as he did last night from
pain III the legs and ankles. He has
taken nourishment at short intervals,
and in larger quantities than at any pre-.
v:ous day, and has retained it without
any uneasiness. He complains of feel
ing tired tonight, but is otherwise com.
Portable. The suppuratlon will probably
continue, DIR. Reyburn says, for several
days together, with slightly increased
fever which it has caused 1t is, how.
ever, a perfectly natural process, and one
which was anticipated at the present
stage Of recovery. The increased pulse
and temperature, as shown by the Off
cial bulletin, need cause no alarm

dressed to-day, and the patient has beel
repeatedly sponged all over with warn
solution of carbelic acid aud water, ap
piled by means of hand atomizel
These spray and sponge baths have bee
a source of great refreshment, and hav
added materially to the presidents com
fort. The weather to-day has been mucl
cooler than yesterday, so that the com
parative failure of all the differen
methods of artificial refrigeration whicl
have been tried is not so important rs i
might otherwise have been. A force o
fifteen or twenty men from the nav,
yard are at work in the basement puttini
in steam fan or blower, by which pur
air artitically cooled is to be forced int
the presidents room in such quantitie
as may be necessary. Two of the city
fire engines are also Mt work at the east
ern end of the mansion. under the direc
tion of an officer OF the navy depart
ment, who is experimenting upo
!, the production OF cold air by means c
liberation of compressed air. One or th
other of the above mentioned method
to supply cold cir will be put into opel
alton tomorrow.
The president at 11:lO p. m.is sleel
ing quietly, and the attending physical
report that his symptoms are every wa
