DIR. Boyntan, talking with the Western As
sociated Press reporter, today, said things
| looked
LITTLE MORE FAVORABLE.
Being reminded of the gloom apparent at
the White house last night, and of Blaine's
grave telegram to hope, he said there was
some gloom and good deal of uneasiness,
but / think Blaine's telegram was really un-
| necessary.
How about the statement that an Opiate
was to be administered to the President, and
that he is only quiet under that influence, was
the next question by the reporter.
The only foundation for that, answered the
doctor, is that it is found necessary to mix
laudanum with enemata to check the bowels
and to secure retention OF the nourlsnment
given this way.
Have the surgeons taken any step toward
scattering the assesses formed by the gland.
There are no ASSESSES, and of course nothing
has been done in that way. 1t will be three
or four days, at least week from the time OF
the swelling, before it will fully develop
itself. With regard to- the disability
caused by the swelling OF the
gland the inability TO open Inc

as the doctor was leaving, do you consider
his condition to-day little better than yester-

the part of the physicians to deceive the pub
DR.. Bliss, questioned by the reporter at Z
q clock this evening, took much the same
ground. The only fear, he said, was OF ex-
6austion. Three Or four days would tell, as
by that time there would be change one way
or the other.
Being asked as to the glandular swelling,
he said it was not giving them much trouble
now. 1t would not be thoroughly developed
for two or three days yet
Private information from the surgeons
about 10 o'clock said the President was rest
ing and had slept some, also that the swelling
of the gland was sensibly decreased.
DR.. Agnew expects to leave tomorrow ana
DR.. Hamilton will be here tomorrow night.
Doctors Bliss and Woodward remain in at
tendance tonight. DR.. Boyton will watch the
Presidents bedside until o'clock, when he
will be relieved by Gen. Sprague.
OUT OF HIS HEAD.
WASHINGTON, Aug. %, II a. m.-The Pres
dents condition has not materially changed
since the morning bulletins. There has been
no recurrence of vomiting and the patient has
taken a quantity of milk poridge and little
koumiss without nausea.
1t has been rumored his mind has wandered
at intervals, but the report Of mental disturb
ance seems to have been nothing more than
slight incoherence of speech Immediately af
ter awakening from sleep before his mind was
under full control. 1t has not occurred at any
other time, and is perhaps due to extreme
weakness. The swelling of the gland remains
about stationary. The feeling at the Execu-
tive mansion this morning is one OF anxiety,
but the general impressions seem to be there is
no greater cause for alarm now than there has
been for two or three days.
