WASHINGTON, August 20.
DR.. Boynton in an interview with report
er of the Associated Press this morning, re-
piled to the questions as follows:
Qestion-How is the President to-day,
Doctor?
Answer-I do not think he is any better.
The impression which his general condition
makes upon me to-day is little less favora-
BILE. don't feel quite a. much encouraged
as did yesterday.
Q-What are the features which seem most
disquieting?
A-The condition of his blood and his ex-
treme weakness. cannot see that he has
gained strength since yerterday. He takes
his food as well as yesterday. and his stom-
ach seems to maintain its improved condi-
ton.
Q-Then if the stomach performs its func-
tions properly and nourishment continues to
be we'll assimilated, will not the condition OF
the blood change for the better!
Alt will in time. The poison will be
eliminated from the blood if the patients
strength can hold out. 1t is question OF
time and endurance. The wound continues
to do well, but don't think the condition OF
the wound so important consideration now.
The President is very weak, and is as yet
gaining strength very slowly, if at all. The
great question is, can he be sustained through
this period of prostration? If ne can, /
think he will eventually rally from the de-
preston caused by the septic faint in the
blood and finally recover.

WASHINGTON, August %.
Executive Mansion.-In an interview with
a reporter of the Associated Press little be-
fore two this afternoon, DIR. Bliss said the
condition of the President was substantly I'M
changed. His pulse at the noon examination
was higher than at the same time yesterday
but the patient is so weak and debilitated a
transient fuctuation of the pulse of six or
eight beats has no great significance. ANY
light disturbance or excitement is sufficient
to cause it. His pulse was taken at noon
when it was the highest just befor / came
out. In ten minutes it was back to lO4. His
temperature is about the same as yesterday
noon.
cannot see that he has gained any strength
since yesterday, but think he is holding his
own. He is taken nourishment quite as we'll
as yesterday. 1t was the opinion of his at
tendants and Mrs. Garfield that he seemed
little brighter this morning. The infiamed
gland has not changed much in appearance,
and is one Of the most troublesome features
in the case.
We got little more pus in it to-day, but
the swelling remains about the same. 1t NAV
be four or five days before it subsidies. The
pus is in may little cells and pockets, and the
wall between these will have to be broken
before all the pus can be drawn ont through
the present incision.
In conclusion, DR.. Bliss reiterated his as
surance that the condition of the patient was
no worse to-day than yesterday, although it
cannot be said there has been any improve.

Midnight.
WASHINGTON. August 26.

Executive Mansion.-Shortly after the
evening bulletin was issued the attending
surgeons began to notice change for the
worse in some of the Presidents symptoms.
He became more restless than he was during
the day. His pulse krew more frequent un-
til it reached about l2O beats, and he began
to be subject to Authorizations with regard
to his circumstances and surroundings. Most
of the time he seemed rational but at inter-
walls, especially just after awakening from
sleep, he talked incorherently and did not
seem to be conscious of his condition. An
examination was made of the inflamed paro-
It'd gland and its appearance gave reasons to
apprehend serious consequences.
Little could be done for it, however, than
to continue the poulticipg and the general
method of treatment adopted yesterday. Dur
ing the evening the patient slept little but
was very restless, and awoke at short inter
walls. About 10 o'clock his pulse began to
subsde and he seemed to be gradually pass
ing into a quieter condition. AT this hour
his pulse has fallen to liz and he is sleep
ing. There has, however, been a marked
change in his general condition, and it con-
tinues to be a subject of the Qrayest anxiety.

WASHINGTON. August %


The prevalent opinion at the Executive
Mansion to-day, was one of increased ankle
ty. The symptoms of the President I'd to g
O'Clock, are not decidedly worse nor has sny
marked unfavorable change taken place in
his condition; but his failure to gain strength
from the constantly increasing quantity of
nourishment taken, disappointed expecta-
tions, and the threatening aspect of glandu-
lar swelling was taken as another reason for
encouragement. 1t seemed TO be generally
felt by the friends of the President, who CONS
here every day for information, that the ma
tient has not gained as much as he ought to
from the amount of nourishment taken since
Monday morning and this is do to imperfect
assimilation and nutrition. Enough food il
taken daily. the surgeons say, to more than
sustain the patients strength if it were all
turned into blood and vital force, but it is
not since there has been no preceptible gain
IN strength during the past three DAYS. This
they argue indicates that sep.icaemia, or
some other unfavorable influence is at work
interfering with the process of nutrition and
neutraiizing, to great extent, the efforts of
the tn. stomach to supply the system with food.
The President, they say, should be gaining
strength nov to get through another bad Sun.
day or 70 meet another possible reverse in
the shape Of nev complication; but instead
