About the President.

Of the President case today presents
no new features. He has rested quietly
throughout the day. taking q small
quantity of solid food again for the
first time in . week. and sleeping at in
tervals naturally and peacefully. The
usual febrile symptoms showed them>
selves late in the afternoon, but began
TO subside soon after the evening ex-
animation. The discharge of pus
at the dressing Of the wound tonight
was copius and of healthy characters.
It 10 impossible to say definitely
whether the discharge flows from the
end of the wound. where the ball lies.
or from suppurating surface along the
balls track. near the wounds mouth.
but more probably the latter case. All
evidence goes TO show. and all sur
geons are agreed that the ball lies in
front of the abdomen. about five inches
below 10 the right Of TIE navel. and
Just over the groin. 1t is believed that
a black and blue spot which was visi-
BILE on the right side of the abdomen
for several days after the President re-
ceived h;s iD;sTy ::arked the bullet's
location, aad this is confirmed by such
results as have been obtained with an
| induction balance. The ball has given
no trouble as yet. and may become en-
! cysted and cease TO be o source of anx>
iety. In any event. however. the sur>
geons express perfect confidence that
the Presidents recovery will be COM
plete, and will not be followed by any
disability or permanent weakness. The
surgeons report further slight gain of
strength. but during the day very
perceptible improvement in general
condition. DR. Agnew arrived this af-
ternoou. He said that the President ap-
peared to him much better than when
he last saw him. At this hour the
Presidents pulse is below 100, his tenn
perature and:respiration about normal.
and he is asleep.

fishes the reason which actuated the
Chinese Government in recalling its
young men who were students at Hart
ford. II seems that the Emperor a
year ago dispatched O mandarin of high
rank to Hartford to inquire into the
workings Of the educational commis>
sion. This individual had never been
outside the limits Of his native land
and possessed only book knowledge Of
foreign customs. On reaching Hartford
he was Mortified at fiLling that the
wards Of bis nation had become Amer.
icanized to an alarming degree. some
being so far acclaimed as to have
parted with their pig tails. The shock
was too great for the nerves Of the con-
sentative fnnctionary. Yung Wing.
