THE ASSASSINATION.
BULLETINS.

| Executive Mansion, Washington,
6, 3 a.m.-At this lour the watchers
| in the Presidents room cannot be
seen. Drs. Bliss and Woodward,
the only attendant physicians re-
naming at the executive mansion,
are both asleep in the physicians
room, adjoining the sick room, so
everything is regarded as salts
factory.
Executive Mansion, a.m.-Drs.
Bliss and Woodward both express
themselves as feeling very much en-
cOuraged at the Presidents condi-
ton this morning. His pulse at
this hour Is a.m.) is about 100.
II a.m.-Blaine cables Lowell,
minister at London: "The President
passed very comfortable night, and
for the first time since he was
wounded his pulse, this morning, is
below 100. His physicians feel
fresh encouragement, but are in
tensely anxious for the trying days
yet to come"
II ammo more bulletins till
noon. Pulse still better at 81. Every
other condition is equally favorable.
Some progress is made in cooling
the Presidents room, and later eX-
perlmentS will, it is believed, wholly
overcome the effects of the heat
which prevails, although stiff
breeze has sprung up, modifying it
somewhat. The President is better
than at any time yet, and hope is
almost ex uberant.
11.30 a.m.-Pulse 95, and other con-
ditionS continue favorable. Every
body in the sick room is cheerful.
The President told Col. Rockwell
that he felt very much refreshed.
He slept well all night and feels
better than since Saturday morning.
His voice is strong and manner
cheerful. Mrs. Garfield is gaining
strength.
Executive Mansion, 1890 pm
The President remains quite as
comfortable, as at the date of the
last bulletin. He takes his nourish-
ment well. Pulse 100, temperature
99-7, respiration %.

Executive Mansion, 1856 PM
The Slight rise in the pulse of the
President since the official bulletin
of $50 am, is caused by the changing
of the bed and the movement of the
patients body, which it neceSSitated.
His symptoms are still regarded as
very favorable.
| Executive Mansion. 1 p.m.-Un-
less some unfaYorable change should
occur no further official bulletins
will be issued until $50 pm. Ex-
periments are now being made I'M
der the supervision of physicians
with different sorts of refrigerating
apparatus in order to relieve the
President, if possible, from the I'M
favorable influence of the great heat
by artificially cooling the atmosphere
Of his room.
Executive Mansion, 2.9O PM
The Presidents condition at this
hour remains unchanged, all rumors
to the contrary notwithstanding.
Executive Mansion. $50 PM
Among the more favorable symp-
toms of the Presidents condition
to-day is the fact that he is begin
ming to find fault with his phySi-
clans because they do not give him
enough to eat. He called this after
noon for beefsteak, but upon being
told he was not able to eat beef, and
it was thought prudent, at present,
not to allow him to eat much hearty
food, he grumbled little, but con-
scented to compromise upon an egg,
and say no more about it.
The egg was then given him.
He wished also to know,
this afternoon, whether he could not
be permitted to hold a cabinet meet
ing, and evinced generally dispO-
sition to talk, which his physicians
were obliged to discourage and re-
strain. The symptoms at this hour
continue TO be favorable.

DR.. Bliss says the Presidents condi-
ton and symptoms at this hour are
favorable and satisfactory.
