morning dressing of his wound without
fatigue. It continues to look well anc
discharged adequately. After the
wound was dressed he ate with relish 8
breakfast of solid food and has since
passed a comfortable morning, during
which he had a pleasant nap. The
daily Is regarded as quite sufficient to
support his system and favor the grad
nal increase Of strength which is plainly
observable. Pulse 100; temperature 78. 5;

| Yesterday evening Bell's induction
no lanao YYcad IN locate ha hol
| When it crossed spot on the right side
of the abdomen that was discolored for
few days after the wound was received,
IDLY. Though it did not ring out as
loudly as it was intended in indicating
the location of the bullet, the vibration
was sufficient to satisfy the surgeons that
the ball is lodged just where DR.. Bliss
said it was, in the anterior wall of the
stomach, and that is just beneath the
discolored spot. Professor Bell worked
last night and to-day at his apparatus,
and now says he has so perfected it that
it will positively locate the bullet to
depth of five inches below the surface.
Surgeons have decided to make another
test tomorrow with the improved ap-
paratus, but say they will rot cut the
ball out until they may definitely locate
it unless it becomes troublesome and such
operation shall become necessary. They
do not believe the ball will give any
trouble where it is; still they are DESTROYS
Of demonstrating its location. So far as
experiments have gone they have sus-
tanned Bliss theory of the course and
Judgment Of the ball.
Mrs. Garfield was out at the Soldiers
Home, yesterday, looking through the
Presidents cottage, as it is now thought
probable he will be carried there just as
soon IS he is able to be moved.
Washington, 1.-Executive Mansion,

ing the night, and this morning is cheer
full. He expresses himself as feeling
better than at any time since be was hurt.
After the slight rise of yesterday after
noon his temperature became again nor
mal early in the evening, and so contin-
ues. He appears stronger and has evil

Executive Mansion, 11.45 a.m.-The
President is passing quiet, comfortable
day.
Under the supervision of attending
surgeons, Professors Bell and Fainter,
this morning, made another application
to the patients body Of the electrical APP
,olio ha fpA,,aNi1n -
with the view of completing the tests of
Saturday. which were not entirely con-
elusive, and 2scertaiHing definite and
certainly, if possible, the location of the
ball. Professors Bell and fainter have
been almost constantly engaged for two
weeks in experiments with the Induction
balance; they also have made several
Improvements which greatly add to its
efficiency. They tried this improved ap-
paratus upon the Presidents body for
the first time last Saturday, and although
it indicated fairly the location of the
ball, it was afterwards found to be
slightly out Of adiHatment, and the ex-
pertinent was not regarded as
conclusive. The results of this morn
ing's test, however, are entirely
satisfactory, both to Professors
Bell snd Tsinter and the attending sur
geons, and 1t is now unanimously agreed
that the location of the ball has been as
certained with reasonable exactness and
certainty and that it lies as heretofore
stated in the front wall of the abdomen
Immediately over tn groin, about FIVE
inches below and to the right of the
navel.
The Presidents wound continues to do
we'll. Al the morning dressing it WAS
found in all respects IN satisfactory
condition. After the dressing was con-
cluded his head and shoulders were
raised in the same msHBer as yesterday,
and he took solids for breakfast with
more relish than he has hitherto shown.
At present his pulse is 100, temperature
9S.4, respiration 20.

The ball must be within two and
half inches of the surface. The sur
