ALL SIGNS FAVORABLE, ,l.tr
The Presidents condition continues
favorable. No i'll effects were experienced
from his being placed in his reclining chair,
and there was no change In his pulse or
temperature in consequence Of his removal
from bed and back again. The President
enjoyed the change. lie was plRced in n
position commanding full view OF the
ocean and elevated to an angle Of about
forty.fve degrees, He was removed to his

tired but because he considered it best not
to overd0 the matter. III
The febrile rise was scarcely perceptible
last night, and what little there was con-
tinued until the morning dressing occurred,
which accounts for tho temperature noted
in the morning bulletin. DR.. Bliss still
maintains that the President Is GONZALES
cent and that there are no indications OF
blood poisoning. He holds thRt the lung
complication is gradually passing away,
and does not apprehend any further trouble

.. REVIEW or TIIg DAY. t.-.rf i
The weather to-day was charming; the
air was perfectly pure and bracing. In
fact, Just such weather as the Presidents
attendants have been looking for. The pa.
ticnt to-day made good progress on the
road to recovery. The reports from the
sick room throughout the el1ire day have
been OF the most reassurlng character, and
the fact that the surgeons and attendants
are all in the best Of spirits tends to con-
firm the idea that rcCuperation Inns again
fairly commenced. Nothing untavorablei
can be said to-day; the bulletins tell the
whole story fsl'UH
