porter of the Associated Press he thought
there had been very slight improvement in
the Presidents general condition since
o'clock. Up to that hour, he said, think he
had gradually failed. His pulse ran up early
in the afternoon as high as 13S and remained
at that for considerable time. thought once
he could hardly live through the night About
4, however, he rallied slightly, and since that
time has fully held his own. In fact l think
his general condition is now trihe better.
Have indications of swelling or suppura-
tlon appeared anywhere except in the wound
and parotid gland?
| No.
What was the character of the pus discharg-
| ed to-day by the wound?
1t looked about as it did last night.
Was it as healthy looking last night as be-
fore that time?
No, not quite. 1t was less in quantity and
it had slightly watery appearance.
| To what was that attributable?
Probably to the impoverished condition OF
the patients blood.
Do you think there is anything in this
changed character of pus discharged by the
wound to cause additional alarm?
No. 1t only shows the weak and depleted
condition of the patients body. 1t is evidence
of inanition.
What are the symptoms tonight which
you regard as more favorable!

WASHINGTON; Aug. 26.-Secretary
Browns confidential bulletin to the cab
net announces no unfavorable change in
the Presidents condition, although he
admits that there are evidences of pus
discharge beginning inside the throat,
from the carbuncle inside his throat
Mr. Brown also thinks he has lost no
strength from other sources. The re-
port is that the President passed rest
less night, and was delirious whenever
he awoke. 1t appears that the brain
power is acting so that when he awakes
he is mild maniac, and when he doses
off in sleep he mutters and talks lncohe-
rently. There is a constant jerky twich-
ing of the hands ard spasmodic grasp
ing of the bed clothes. He is expected
to live through the day, although he
cannot live long.

dom While the President has made no gain
to-day, his loss of ground has been less, in the

last night. In this aspect there is slight

and the one favorable indication of swallow
ing and digesting liquid food continues. Two
or three times during the day he has asked for
nourishment. He has spoken intelligently
and voluntarily, and throughout the day his
mind has been less affected than yesterday,
The expected relief to the parotid swelling
