part Of the house and but very few
employees were there. Early this
evening as the hour for the evening
bulletin approached, the gathering
grew larger, but the bulletin
crowd" was not to he compared in
numbers to the same gathering
| yesterday evening. There is CON
siderable comment about the
different predictions made yester-
day, and to-day by the physicians
in attendance. There could not be
more different views expressed
than those of the last two
days when the mattSr is
looked at in the proper light.
| 1t will be seen that the statements
are entirely in conformity with the
progress of the case. Yesterday,
for instance, DR.. Bliss said in the
morning and at noon that he did
not see how the President could
live unless an expected change for
the better should be made. Again
this morning and later this after
noon he said that he thought the
lPresident would live, and that the
rally which had been made
was of sufficient strength, con-
tinuing to be augmented as it
does, to- warrant the highest hope
that there will be recovery. DR..
Bliss said to a Western Associated
Press Agent, tonight, that he had
at one time given the President up,
or pronounced his case hopeless;
that it was not his custom to give
case up while life lasted.
| Doctor" asked a Western Press
agent, "is the President better to-
night than he was this morningF"
LTHe is" was the reply. HE has con-
| tinued through the day to gain,
| slowly it is true, but in his present
condition that little gain promised
/ much
| What is your greatest difficulty
| in the case nOw?" The parOtid
swelling is the most troublesome
feature OF the case now, and it has
| subsidized some tonight. 1t is dis
charging better tonight than it has
yer. \ while ago it discharged a
teaspCoAful of healthy pus, not what
| we call laudah,e pus, but it was very
guoi puS. 1t is discharging through
the ear, and l think by tomorrow
there Will be very sensible dimi-
mutton in the swelling"
! Has The President taken much
] nourishment today Yes, he
has taken plenty, more than on any
! day for some time, and lie showed
relish for it. His stomach receives
all we give him, and digt SITS it. y
No sign of nausea, doctor :" Not
a bit, no more than you OF | feel
after eating. The Presidents stom-
ach Is now in good condition, and
he will lie built up from now on. He
is able To take food enough TO ill.,
part strength to his system. re-
gard the blood poison as now elimi-
mated. He is now suffering from
the sequel of the poisoning
but | am satisfied the poisoning
has been thrown. Tie wound made
| ny the pistol bullet, to-day shows
some signs of returning granulation
. for the firs3 time in three days. 1t
has been entirely idle during this
verybad condition Of the blood, but
now, as the blood pUrifes, it viii

Judge Jere Black had long talk
with DR.. Agnew this afternoon
about the President and his pros
poets. Dr. Agnew said the improve
ment which set in yesterday after
| noon had been maintained, and there
| was HOW substantial ground for
| hope for the Presidents final recOv-
cry. He said the tone Of the Prtsi-
dents stomach showed remarkable
| Improvement, and his food was
evidently assimilating better
than heretofore; that if this
kept up for twenty four or thirty-siX
iIhourS longer, and he now believed it
would, the President would begin to
! regain strength, the one thing ne
cesSary to pull him through. DR..
| Agnew spoke Of the Improvement
as general and said the Presidents
chances were now favorable to say
the least.
/ About 9 o'clock DR.. Bliss sponged
the President off and he went to
sleep. When the house was closed
everything looked favorable and a
good bulletin was confidently eXpec-
ted tomorrow morning.
