WASHINGTON, ID. C., July 12-EIecutiUe
Mdnsion--S A. M-The unTavorable symp-
toms which made their appearance yester-
day afternoon have entirely subsided. The
President passed very comfortable, rest
ful night, and this morning bis pulse Is 90
and temperature 90 @. This would seem TO
indicate that the increased pulse and tenn
perature OF last evening was merely tenn
porary fluctuation, due, as the surgeons
supposed at the time, to some monetary
tax upon his nervous system rather than TO
any permanent unfavorable change in his
condition. }. ). BROWN,
Private Secretary.

need cause uneasiness. His pulse at 2 r.
