DR.. HAMILTON
Says the President is Doing as Well as
Could be Expected,

NEW YORK. July Is. DIR. Hamilton said
to-day, that the public was wrong to get ex.
cited and apprehensive over the ups and
downs of the Presidents condition. The
fluctuations in the Presidents pulse and
temperature meant nothing serious and were
to be expected. 1t must be remembered tina,
he is very weak and has been in bed for ten
days without moving, enough to make the
most active man feverish. So long as there
were fluctuations there need be no anxiety.
When there were no fluctuations, but a
steady increase of alarming symptoms, then
it would be time to be anxious. The least
thing was liable to make a patient, in the
Presidents condition. better or worse. Too
much noise: too much talking. or too much
heat. any of these was all sufficient to in
crease fever. But" said Dr. Hamilton. ssyou

The rapidity with which the news
of the shooting of the President was
sent over the country by the press and tel
cgraph is wonderful. Before Sunday
more than 10000 words were tele-
graphed from Washington to newspapers
all over the country, and by them and
'extras" were sent ut once into every
village and hamlet The business done
in New York was unprecedented Bull
letins were sent to every Office in the
land with instructions that they be prom
inently displayed. Forty-six operators
were added to the already ample force of
the main office. and on Sunday and the
Fourth of July there were about $4,000
more messages sent than usual. Notwith-
standing the enormous amount of matter
that was sent to newspapers from Wash
ington and New York, the newspaper of
the day is such perfect machine that lit
tie confusion was caused. and the news
was spread before the country in remark
ably perfect form.
