! While the pulse has risen six beats since
noon yesterday, the fact that it is eight
beats less than at the evening dressing yesterday
accepted a favorable indication especially
SO in view of the fact that the tenn

| at endants upon the President exhibit a more de-
cideded opinion that the improvement is likely to
be permanent than persons not so intimately con-
nected with the case. Assurance of those having
access to the patients room however that the
President is much better than he before leaving
Washington is very generally accepted and
gratifying.
The mo ming although cloudy and hazy, was COM
