SAME AS YESTERDAY.

Executive Mansion. 1920 g.. m.-Dr.
Bliss reports the condition of the president
this forenoon as about the same as yester-
day, except that his pulse is little higher.
He was somewhat restless at times during
the night, and did not sleep as well as on
Tuesday night.
There has been no perceptible change in
the appearance Of the inflamed 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, DR..
Agnew Will leave for Philadelphia at 1920

NOON BULLETON.
Executive Mansion, 1890 p. m.-Since
the issue of the morning bulletin, rise in
the psesidents temperature similar to that
which occurred yesterday morning has
been noticed His pulse is somewhat
more frequent From the incision in the
parotid swelling few drops of pus were
discharged this morning, The size of the
swelling has not diminished, in other re
spects his condition has not perceptibly
changed Pulse 112, temperature 99.2,
respiration 10.
WAsHISeroN. Aug 25.-The noon bull
lefIn was not calculated to inspire conf
denee in the Presidents recovery, neither
are the unofficial reports from the sick
room The latter are to the effect that the
glandular complication is giving to doctors
serious concern This is corroborated by
the bulletin Just issued, which states that
the swelling is not diminishing perceptibly,
and that there has been but few drops of
pus discharged. The feverish symptoms
are again on the increase, as shown by the
bulletin, and the doctors are reported to
have resorted to enematas unsuccessfully,
the bowels refusing the injections
THE FEELING OF GLOOM
is again making itself perceptible at the
White House, and not the least alarming
feature in the case is the doctors keeping
themselves shut up and refusing to be in
terviewed Another bad evening is looked
for at this writing.
BLISS STATEMENT.
New YORK, Aug. 25-Post Washington
Special, in an interview with Bliss after
the morning dressing says he looked care
worn and less composed and buoyant but
spoke cheerful and had evidently not
abandoned hope. The swollen gland.
which was the cause of fears we cut into
and got little pus but the trouble is tC
get out all the matter and keep it under
control. It is probably all around in th'
gland, and there is no telling where it ma.

inflamed part we may not strike more pu
and we may not know definitely about

days and in the meantime We must contro
the gathering matter as best we can. we
apprehend no new and immediate bad re
suits.
at all We must be prepared, of course
for bad developments. 1t was learned this
morning that the Presidents
BOWELS WERE NOT ACTING,
and have to certain extent given way to
the effect of the long-continued injections,
which always weakens the lower bowels
Yesterday they rejected the injection in
voluntarily, and even the use of opium did
not avail, so the injections have been given
up until they regain their strength. If the
stomach should yield now there would be
great danger"
