UNOFFICIAL BULLETIN.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, II a. m.-The in
dications are that everything is progressing
nicely in the sick room. DIR. Agnew left
for Philadelphia on the limited express.
He will probably return tomorrow in or
der that Dr. Hamilton may go to New
York Saturday. Private Secretary Brown
accompanied the doctor to the train and
says he talked very encouragingly OF the
Presidents chance. Previous to leaving
the mansion DR.. Agnew had a talk with
Mrs. Garfield, and informed her he felt per
fectly secure in being temporarily absent,
that if any emergency should occur, he
could easily be summoned, etc.
At this hour the president is resting
quietly, and about an hour ago he took
small quantity of koumiss, which was Civ
en- him by his wife. Up to this time no
bad effects have been experienced from it,
and the patient is now sleeping.
FAVORABLE
Unofficial al-Executive Mansion, 500 a.
m.-InformatiOn received this morning
from physicians and attendants upon the
president is very encouraging. The physi-
clans report his pulse at 1O4. The attend
ants at his bedside report that he rested
quietly and slept considerably during the
night. An enemata was administered about
midnight which was retained.
A STRONGER PULSE,
a better feeling of skin, retention of
nourishment derived from an enemata and
excellent tone of the Presidents mind, are
mentioned this morning as unmistakable
indications that the crisis is past and the
road to recovery again regained The fact
that the President is able to procure a re-
freshing sleep without the use of anO-
dynes is pointed to as one Of the most IA
vorable features of his case. The lrrlta-
tion of the stomach has entirely ceased,
and it is thought the patients thirst will
be entirely satisfied by supplying him with
fluids in the ordinary way and by enemata.
The wound is considered in very
healthy condition.
AT NOON.

MAS DR.. Hamilton was leaving the
White House ten minutes ago, he said to
representative of the press in response to
a question, that he could not conveniently
explain the cause of the Inflammation of
the parotid gland, but that it was perfectly
proper to state that it was not an incident
of any serious nature The complication
was not an unusual occurrence in such
cases, and it caused no anxiety whatever
to the attending surgeons.

tin, which has just been sent from the sur
