THE PRESIDENT.
SOME DISAPPOINTMENT FELT IN The
MORNING,
But Later Bulletins Show that He Ras
Rallied Well from the Last Surgical
Operation, and Confidence is
Again Restored.
he PtRfORAS AN OFFICIAL ACl'
STEADILY IMPROVING.

The Presidents Condition Yesterday
WASHINGTON, August l0.-There WAS
some disappointment felt this morning
by some OF the Presidents doctors be-
cause he had not entirely rallied IRON
the effect of the last surgical operation,
but he has done 80 well this afternoon
and evening that this feeling has given
place to one OF entire confidence again.
DR.. Bliss said tonight that the President
was doing well. He Is now able to take,
more neurishment and so far has ex.
perienced
No Recurrence Of Distressing Nausea
which followed the last operation. The
new incision is still very sensitive in
the extreme, and even the laying OF
piece of lint saturated with carbollzed
oil upon the raw flesh at the mouth OF
the cot causes pain. 1t is to this sensa
tive and painful condition OF the wound
that the continuous fever OF the
day is attributed. The track ol
the ball has been thoroughly cleared,
and what irritation there is now Is from
the wound and must be attributed to
the fresh incision and not to the reten-
ton OF anything which ought to come
out. The old wound made by the bullet
has entirely healed, and the pulse shown
by the morning bulletin was probably
due therefrom. The discharge OF pus at
the morning discharge was
Unusually Copious,
showing the wound now TO be perfectly
and thoroughly drained. The drainage
tube was put in again and washed out
with weak solution OF carbolic Bcii
and water. Between the morn
ing's dressing and noon, the Presl-
dents pulse increased six beats, and his
temperature went up little. STILL he
had no fever. The rise of the pulse was
attributed to the general debility OF the
patient. The Presidents skin said the
doctor at 10 O'Clock is cool and soft and
there is no fever noticeable.

They say they have completed the

reaso they give Tor being summoned

Az Germany allows them to enter her

NR II. u. MILLER, Fish Commissioner
h, this Congressional District, received
Yesterday i've hundred German carp from
,br Government hatchery at Washington,
which he has placed in the aquarium ut
,be Fair Grounds on tho Island. From
there he proposes to distribute them to
parties desiring few carp for their ponds.
limited number will be given to each
,Dplirant. and inasmuch rs the aquarium
4 liable to be closed any day by freez-
ing weather it is important that parties
vbodcsirc any Of these carp should apply
without delay. Some Of the fish received
we're eight inches long, and will weigh
round, although Matched this year. They
are very rapid growing fish as well rs
extraordinarily fecund, No fish in the
world equal them for rapid, nutritious
aud paIatabc supply Of food.
Although Mr.. Miller is the Commissioner
only for this district, yet he will as matter
Of accommodation honor any requests sent
from the line Of the Baltimore 4 Ohio
ral or from points down the river below
Parkersburg, as long US he has a supply on
hand. We presume also that he would
not object to furnishing our Pennsylvania
and Ohio neighbors with few specimens.
