Bright Anticipations Of
Saturday.

other lncision will be Made.

Explanations of the
Cause.
A QUIET NIGHT.

AQUIET NIGHT.
Executive Mansion, Aug. 21, 8:a. m.-
The president ls reported to have passed
a comparatively quiet night. better than
the night previous. He has experienced
no nausea since yesterday afternoon and
this morning asked for and has taken
small quantity of liquid food.
HOPES REVIVED.
Unofficial Bulletin, Executive Man.
sion, Aug. 22-9:30 a. m-The assurances
contained in the forenoon bulletin
that the stomach had reasserted itself
and that other indications were no less
satisfactory raised the hopes of tho des-
pondent this forenoon. Last night, com.
pared with the preceding one was a com.
paratively quiet one The president
woke frequently, but not SO often as
during the night before, the accumula.
ton of phlegm being less troublesome.
About 4 o. M. the president asked for
konmiss and small quantity was given
him and retained. The morning Dress
ing showed normal temperature, and
respiration and pulse to be less than
yesterday morning. The wound was
found to be doing we'll and the intlamed
gland was in about the same condition as
last night. DR.. Reyburn said at 8 a. m.
the swelling is no worse and the general
circulation of the president is little
better. The anxiety is somewhat lessen
ed by the developments of the morning,
but the gravity of the situation is still
apparent.
HIS MIND WEAKENING.
Washington, August %, II a. m.-The
presidents condition is not materially
changed since the morning bulletin.
There has been no recurrence of vomit-
ing and the patient has taken small
quantity of milk porridge and little
koumiss without nausea. 1t has been ru.
mored that his mind wandered at inter-
vals, but his reported mental distur.
bance seems to have been nothing more
than slight incoherence Of speech i'm
mediately after awakening from sleep
before the senses were fully under con-
troll. It.has not occurred at any other
time and is perhaps due to extreme
weakness. The swelling of the parotlid
gland remains about stationary. The
feeling at the executive mansion is one
of anxiety, but the general impression
seems to be that there is no more cause
for alarm now than there has been for
three or four days.
HIS CONDITION THIS AFTERNOON.
Executive Mansion, August %, 2:1O
p. m.-The president is passing quiet
afternoon and sleeps good deal Of the
time. Up to the present hour he has
swallowed and retained, to-day, 20 ounces
of liquid nourishment, consisting o,
milk porridge and koumis; he also had
enematas, one at seven n. IN. and one
soon after noon. No new unfavorable
symptoms have appeared, and his gener.
al condit ion is about the same as at IL 80
l
Washington, Aug. 22.-At one p. m.
DR.. Boynton said to press reporter
II think the president is little better
to-day, and he has taken and retained his
nourishment we'll. He relishes his milk
porridge and koumiss and asked for more
this morning. I'm encouraged about the
glandular troubles to-day; think it is
not quite so large, and if suppuratior
sets in now will be much less dangerous
than earlier in its development; and it is
possible suppuration would not be any
great injury now. 1t is very uncertain
complication and no predictions can be
made as to preventing suppuration. BY
tomorrow or Wednesday we should be
able to determine whether suppuratior
is likely to occur. think the presidents
stomach is performing its natural func.
tions very well now. The president has
been little del,rous at times, but 1t ha,
not amounted to anything serious. Il
is caused by his extremely weak condi
tion and his long illness. 1t would prob
} ably occur in any case where the patient
had become 30 enfeebled. I attach nc
) great importance to it. In all cases
where enemata is administered small
quantity of laudnum or something sim
liar is one of its component parts. L
is given to aid in retaining the enemata
but it is not sufficient cause for dele
rum. On the whole feel to-day NOR
encouraged than yesterday about tn
case. But the president is still in pre-
carious condition, and my encourage
l ment is based on the outlook now"
