IL rM.
The Presidents pulse has fallen to loo, and
he is now sleeping without any manifesto
tions Of restlesness, and without tlisquiet-
ing symptoms. Drs. Aenew and Hamilton
did not think it best to disturb him by
making all examination tonight, and did not
even see him, but had consultation Of an
hour and three-uuarte1s with the attending
surgeons. They express qualification ut

At 8 O'CLOCK IN THE AFTERNOON.
The President, about 8 O'Clock, was sleep
ing His pulse lad reduced somewhat It
was thought by the doctors that by inserting
tie dranage-tube in the wound to greater
depth the wound would again discharge.
The trouble seemed to be that the wbund
was healing. too fast from the exterior. The
sending for Drs. Asnew and Hamilton WAS
hot for the reason that tie attending sur
geons do not have the fullest f;ish
1T their management OF the case,
but because untavorable symptoms having
appeared, the Presidents physicians thought
it due to themselves to call in consulting sur
geons. Then, in the event of all unfayorable
termination, 1t could not be said that NIL the
agencies Mt hand to preserve the Preside nt's
life had not been employed.
AT O'CLOCK THIS AFTERNOON -
the President WAS a little better than at
o'clock. He was sleeping quietly under lhe
Influence Of morphine. He perspirtd
freely uuring :he afternoon. His pulse was
then LEO, the lowest since this morning.

At half-past 12 O'Clock the temperature had
reached the highest point yet reached in the
history Of the case. The pulse had also
bounded up with quick leaps to 80, recalling
the beat Of the first night, when death seemed
to be a question not OF days but OF
hours, and almost OF minutes. Neyertic-
less, his condition was such that the surgeons
thought it advisable to leave the wound
undisturbea. Every symptom was watched
with critical Alteration, and. had these onin-
ous tendencies continued, anu iii greater
degree, immediate and heroic measures
would have been necessary. and Wuilll have
been taken By the PHYSICIANS to save hts
life, but, happily, the fever seemed to come
tn its climax ahont l o'clock, and from that
hour until the afternoon bulletin was pub

steady, though slow.
