Mansion-S A. M.-The unTavorable symp-
toms which made their appearance yester-
day afternoon have entirely subsidized. The
President passed q very comfortable, rest
ful night, and this morning bis pulse Is 90
and temperature 90 @. This would seem to
indicate that the increased pulse and tenn
perature OF last evening was merely tenn
porary fluctuaion, due, as the surgeons
supposed at the time, to some momentary
tax upon his nervous system rather than TO
any permanent unfavorahIe change in his
condition. J. s. Brown,
