ELBERoN, Sept. 15-9 A. NAT the
morning dressing. $50 O'Clock, the Presi-
dents temperature was 9s.4, pulse 100,
respiration 90. He passed the night com-
fortably, sleeping until 8 A. NJ, when he
was wakeful for two hours, during which
time his pulse rose to 100, but without the
marked elevation Of temperature which
has characterized the febrile disturbance
heretofore. After this time he slept until
morning. More nourishment was taken
during the night than for several days
past. In reviewing the case of the Presi-
dent since his arrival at Long Branch, it
may be said in spite of the various septic
incidents which have for several weeks.
and do still complicate his case, that he
has certainly not refrigerated, but on the
contrary has made some progress towards
convalescence.
LONG BRANCH, Sept. 15.-The President
passed a comfortable night, and DR.. Bliss
said that if he did not make good progress
last night he is NOT competent to Judge.
There was no foundation for the rumor
that an operation was performed to relieve
the lungs. DR.. Agnew also denied the
story. The first he heard OF it he saw itin
the morning papers. DR.. Hamilton gave
his opinion on the Presidents chances of
recovery to Q friend this morning, and said
that the septic condition of the Presidents
blood will necessarily cause fluctuations of
the pulse, temperature and respiration
from time to time until it is entirely
eliminated. He considers it safe to say
that the President will overcome the dis
turbances which may occur from the i'm
purity Of his blood, and after that is
accomplished his recuperation will be
very rapid. Mr.. Garfield to-day asked for
q porter-house steak. 1t was cooked for
him and he ate it with a relish. At noon
he was placed in the reclining chair, and
he remained in it three-quarters of an
hour. DR.. Hamilton says be is having a
good day. There is no material change in
his pulse or temperature since the morn
ing bulletin.
The Presidents condition continues ia
vorable. He has eaten three teaspoonfuls
OF minced porter-houss steak, aud swal-
lowed the fibre.
The language of the morning bulletin
excites general comment. In the light of
the history of the case it has great signif-
cotho Ia thaA6 C ODA
the first been exceedingly reluctant to adj
NIT the presence Of blood poisoning in q
dangerous degree. This may be due to two
reasons; first, to admit the presence of
chronic pyaemia, is to acknowledge. the
desperate condition of their patient; second,
to do SO, says substantially that the theory
OF three outside critics is correct. The
sentiment of the medical profession has,
within a few days, however, grown to be
nearly unanimous in support of the pyae-
mia theory. The symptoms are unmistak-
able, violent fluctuations Of the pulse ia q
sure indication Of violent poison. The &C
ton OF the heart Is weak and spasmodic,
and works in spurts, whereas the pulse of
a we'll man beats with regulation. The
statement by DR.. Boynton that his pulse
has gone to $50 and over at night, while it
has been reported . few hours before and
after al 100, is a symptom, taken in con-
nection with all the circumstances, which
clearly points to pyaemia.

dan a long letter. which contains . graphic
account of a curious and horrible religious
ceremony among the remote and almost
Northeastern Arizona, q people whose
identity has been preserved since they were
first seen and partially described by Spanish
Catholic missionaries In 1885. The rite
referred to is the snake dance. Lieutenant
Bourke states that they danced around in a
peculiar manner with snakes in their hands
and mouths. There were about one hun
dred venemous r~attlesnakes, and these were
handled carelessly by old men and boys.
The scene was horrible In the extreme.
These people are greater snake charmers
than the Asiatics.
