Increased Satisfaction and Confidence.
WASHINGTON, d. c., August 31.-lO:45
A. M.-Unofficial-The surgeons regard
the presidents condition this morning
with increased satisfaction and encourage
ment. The parotid swelling has steadily
improved in appearance and it is thought
that the patient has in all other respects
gained ground slowly during the past
twenty four hours. He is thus far having
a quiet, comfortable day. Among the
members Of the cabinet and the presidents
personal friends there is a growing
feeling of encouragement and con-
fdence, and it seems to be the |
general impression that by Saturday or
Sunday, when the glandular swelling shall
have ceased to be hinderance, tho pa
tient will enter the stage Of convalesccncc.
Postmaster General James called ut the |
executive mansion this morning, Lut upon
seeing the bulletin within the door, said,
"That is good enough; I'll so to the de-
partment and go to work, " and he drove
away without coming up stairs.

proved.

G., Aug. 31.-12:3O +. M.-Of1icial-At |
the dressing Of the president this morning
the parotid swelling was found to be dis
freely. 1t looks we'll and has
diminished in size. The wound
remains in about the same state. His |
general condition is evidently more favor
able than this hour yesterday. Pulse 95,
9s.4 respiration II.

The Question Of Removal Again.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 81, s:3Op. m.-Un-
an interview with reporter
If the associated press. at 2:15 p. m, DIR.
Bliss said that the presidents condition is
highly satisfactory, and that he is making
'ery favorable progress in every way. The
'arotid swelling has been reduced to two
birds of it's maximum size and steadily di-
The patient continues to tako
ood we'll and has made slight
,ain in strength. The question of his re-
noval from the executive mansion is again
'eiug seriously considered. The president
himself wishes to 60 to Mentor, but al
hough he will doubtless be taken there
the first removal will
70 to a shorter distance. 1t will take place
It the earliest possible moment. The pa
tents pulse at noon went down to 9j, for
he first time since the 9Th of August, and
$ still below 100, with all tho other symp-
oms correspondingly favorable.
