WASHINGTON, Aug. I.-Dr.
Bliss, in q second interview. again
emphatically denied that blood
poisoning had occurred and said
that the patients stomach
was alone to blame for
the present troubles. The
attending surgeons were all quite
confident that the treatment
adopted would soon remedy this.
In referring to the appearance of
the President, DIR. Bliss said that
when be was shot his weight was
about 210 pounds; that his confine.
ment has reduced him, probably,
70 pounds. There was, of course,
some pallor. All reports received
from the sick room this morning
have been of an encouraging char
acter, and while there IL feeling
Of reinsurance, considerable anX-
iety Is still manifested and the
noon bulletin is anxiously awaited.
Private Secretary Brown reports
that all at the White House are
encouraged this morning. Moth.
ing occurred during the night of
an unfavOrable nature. The enc
mata was given twice and retained.
The President said few minutes
afterward that he felt pretty we'll.
Messages to this effect were sent
to the Cabinet officers. Since Sun.
day last the appearance of the Pres
ident has greatly changed. His face
has become haggard and blanched.
His person has fallen away per-
ceptibly, and the debility is &C
great that he scarcely moves. 1t is
necessary to turn him over in bed
when it becomes painful for him to
continue in one position. The re-
port that bed.sores have appeared
Is not true. The theory that the
present gastric trouble comes from
py@mia is rejected by all the at
tending surgeons. They do moi
see any signs of it. 1t would sho v

itself known by its 0dor. Nor dt
