| vlew with him seemed satisfactory, for short ly afterward he seated himself in Secretar Browns room and spent half an hour looking over the newspapers. In answer to inquirie he stated that he was in Augusta, Me, whel I he received Monday nights bulletin It wa accompanied by message of warning, bu he decided to return to Washington at once | He started as soon as practicable and was no heard from simply because he did not deen it necessary to telegraph.

 STRONG GROUNDS FOR HOPE. Hon. Marshall Jewell called on Mrs. Gar l field this evening. In the course of conver- sation with her he spoke of his intention of returning home tomorrow. He said he wished he knew just how the case stood. Then he asked her, etDo you think he is i'm proving?" q know he is,'' replied Mrs. Garfield, and her emphasis on the ''know' spoke more to him, he says, than the bulletin of the physicians. Dr. Boynton stated to a brother physician this evening that there had been too much apprehension over the Presi- dents loss of vitality. 'tHe has far more vi tality left than he is credited with in the newspapers" said the doctor. At half past nine o'clock D. W. Bliss sent message to his brother-in-law to the ident's recovery. To reporter at the same time he stated the President continued to do well after the evening dressing. He had been asleep most of the time since p. m. and his pulse is 11O. He has had no morphia in three days. Have there been any signs of nauseau this evening ?" 'sNot the slightest" /" Shall you give him more nourishment to- night ?" ''The enemata will be continued" But will you administer any nourishment through the mouth.'' Probably not again until tomorrow" s'The case is now on the gain is it ?' ''Yes, the President is improv- ing" Drs. Agnew and Hamilton will both remain in the city for the present. They will spend the night at the residence of the Attorney General.
 INDIGNATION OVER DR. HAMMoND's COURSE. Considerable comment has been caused by
 
 of 8 history that pyemia is a bad factor in the present relapse. On all sides are heard condemnations on the wisdom of such state- ments and many feel sufficient confidence in the Presidents physicians to stamp Dr. Ham mond's conduct as infamous. That is the name Dr. Bliss gives it. He says, moreover: ''For while I listened to these things with sadness, but Hammond has so persisted that his conduct is nothing less than infamous. He has, among other things, insulted by un- just criticism the surgeon-ge of the army, and if he is not cashiered and dropped from the roll justice will not be done" Dr. Bliss also refers with pride to the time when he befriended Hammond when Secretary Stanton was arraigning him. He supposes Hammond has forgotten that.
