A GOOD NIGHT.
WASHINGTON, D. c., August 3d.
Unofficial. Executive Mansion, Aug
30-The President enjoyed good nights
rest, and it is thought he viii have another
good day. His stomach still continues to
perform its work satisfactory, and the par
otid swelling is progressing favorably. His
pulse, temperature and respiration, as com
pared with yesterday morning, are about
the same. The slight increase of frequen-
cy of the pulse is thought to be due to the
accumulation of pus in another portion of
the glandular swelling, which was observ-
ed this morning by Dr.. Bliss Still anoth-
er incision was made, and release the pent
up pus. The continuance of favorable
symptoms and another day of progress is
predicted.

ion this morning is about the same as at

BLAINE TO LOWELL.
The following has been sent to-day:
To L0,oeU Minister, London:
The presidents condition has not mate
rally changed since my last dispatch. An
other incision was made this morning in
the parotid gland with very satisfactory
results. The pus flows freely and the
swelling grows smaller, The pulse at this
ing the forenoon or yesterday
but on both days higher than his other
good symptoms would seem to warrant.
It is now no, at noon it was 116.
(signed) BLAINE, Secretary.
HELD HIS OWN.
Executive Mansion, Aug. 30.-In reply
to questions, Col. Rockwell said this
afternoon that the Presidents con-
dition to-day has been about
as it was yesterday. He has fully held his
own but not gained perceptibly in strength.
No especial Importance is attached to the
high pulse shown by the noon bulletin.
1t is attributed principally to the irritation
caused by the cutting of the parotid swell
ling this morning. Col. Rockwell said as
the gland continues to be source OF al
most constant disturbance we must expect
the fluctuations of his pulse Since the noon
bulletin however the Presidents pulse has
gone down again to Howe think he is do
ing well.
