midnight, and did not interfere with his
sleep. He had on the whole q good night,
and this morning his condition is fully as
favorable as yesterday at the same time.
Pulse 100. temperature 1914, respiration II.
$50 p. M.-At the morning dressing of
the President the swelling Of the parotid
gland was discharging freely. 1t looks
we'll and continues to diminish in size.
The opening into the mouth detected yes
terday gives no trouble. The state of the
wound remains the same. His general
condition is not materially changed from
this hour yesterday, except that the pulse
is somewhat more frequent, being 10S,
temperature 98.6, respiration IS.
3 p. M.-The surgeons report no material
change in the Presidents condition since
noon. They think that with the exception
of . somewhat higher pulse he ia doing as
well to-day as yesterday.
The President is having q quiet and COM
Portable day. He chewed another piece Of
beefsteak and swallowed the juice this
morning. Since then he had q little
chicken cooked in milk, beside the usual
beef extract and porridge. All the symp-
toms continue favorable. In conversation
this morning DIR. Boynton said the Presi-
dent was doing as nicely as they could
wish. The slight fever which occurred
last night was not, DR.. Boynton thinks, q
matter Of any great consequence. 1t was
transient, and nothing more than one Of
the fluctuations which are to be antici-
pated as long as the President re-
mains in the present weak state. He
has not gained much bodily strength.
1 think he made a little progress in that

sonably expect. His general appearance,
however has improved considerably. The
gland this morning looks very well. He
is not nervous, and the sudden roar Of .
| passing train would not shock him.
Noises in his room shock him less than
they would q well person. The chief dan
| ger is in overtaxing his strength. Posi-
bly, he will be first taken to Long Branch
or some northern seaside resort. He is
quite as we'll as yesterday. The wound is
doing we'll. but not discharging as much
as / would like. II he progresses rapidly
for a few days he may be moved within a
week. He could go by water or rail within
q week without injury.

cry, molasses and household utensils, con-

Secretary Window has decided that
there is no law or regulation authorizing
the redemption or exchange by the Treas
ury Department Of any coins Of the United
States on account Of their being mutilated,
but mutilated silver coins will be pur-
chased as bullion ct any Mint in the United
States, and it 10 presumed that the holders
of such coins can also dispose Of them to
brokers and dealers in . like manner, in
which case, Of course, their value will
vary according to the amount Of metal in
the piece and the current price Of silver
bullion. Public officers are not expected
or required to receive any coins so
mutilated as to be unfit for circulation
except by such purchase.
