EXECUTIVE MANSION, 9.15 a. NJ
The subject of the removal of the
President from Washington at pres.
ent was earnestly considered by us
last night and again this morning
After matured dehberation the con
clusion was arrived at by the mas
jority that it would not now be pru-
dent, although all agree that it will
be very desirable at the earliest time
at which the condition of the patient
may warrant it. We are, moreover,
unanimously of the opinion that at
no time since the injury has the
President exhibited any symptoms of
malaria.

DR.. Bliss reports the condition of the
President this forenoon as about the
same as yesterday forenoon, except
that his pulse is little higher. He
was somewhat restless at times
during the night, and did not sleep
quite as well as on Tuesday night.
There has been no perceptible change
IN appearance of the parotid gland,
and two or three days may elapse
before the swelling subsidies. Taking
everything into consideration the
patient has not gained any ground
since yesterday morning.

EXECUTIVE MANSION, II m.-Dr
Boynton, in an interview with a re
porter of the Associated Press at
LAO this morning, replied to his
questions as follows:
How is the President to-day, doctor in
your iudgment?"
g do not think he is any better
But does he hold his own"
"Wen I can't point to any particular
symptom and say that it is noticeably worse
but the impression, which his general con-
dition makes, shown me to-day, is little less
favorable. I don't feel quite as much en-
/ couraged as l did yesterday"
! "What are the features of the case which
seem to you most discouraging p
/ The condition of his blood and his ex-
treme weakness. He has not made any
gain in strength since yesterday morning.

to maintain its improved condition"
"'Then, if the stomach performs its
functions properly and the nourishment
continues to be well assimilated, will not
the condition of his blood change for the
better?"
''It will in time. The poison will be
eliminated from the blood if the patients
strength and vitality hold out. 1t is a
question of time and endurance"
''The wound continues to do well, does
it not ?'

now. The President is very weak and is,
as yet, gaining strength very slowly, if at
all The great question is, can he be sus-
tanned through this period of prostration
If he can, I think he will eventually rally
from the depression caused by the septic
taint in the blood and finally recover.
