think that the ball may not have touched
the liver, but lodged in the muscles in the
lower part Of the back.
Conkliug, after talking with Private
Secretary Brown a few moments, went
into the private part of the mansion to see
Mrs. Garfield, remaining some time.

President is very sick man, and not out
Of danger, but is on the right track
again. Conkling said to B ISIS that the
recent unf4v rable turn of the Presi-
DENTS case had been a source of great
anxiety to HIM and he called in person to
enquire. Upon being informed that the
symptoms were most encouraging, he ex-
pressed qualification.

dents condition is decidedly improved
A special from Washington says DR..
Hamilton, fNew York, paid very
high compliment to DR.. Bliss. He said
his management of the case throughout
was absolutely above criticism, and be
was entitled to the warmest praise. Both
of the consulting physicians took occa-

in charge in the highest possible degree !
Philadelphia, 25.-Dr. AgneW returned |

the latest bulletins of the Presidents |
condition. and being told that they |
were favorable he expressed relief. the |
Presidents stomach was so sensitive that |
it was not deemed advisable to put him |
under the influence of anesthetics. He |
bore the pain with fortitude. The ab- |
scess was caused by the fractured rib. |

DR.. Agnew says the President looked

watched with keen but mournful in

amily and country. In no part of the
United States will the news that Gar

eceived than in England. In no part Of
