Presidents condition since our teer rra.E of YES

This morning the President said to Dr. Bliss:
81 feel better this morning. ! think am going
to get well" Il think SO too said the doctor.
The President is very weak. He can move his
legs little. That is about the only physca. ex-
ertion. except talking. that he is capable Of He
suffers considerable pain in his legs. but does
not complain much of It, Mr. Crump. who
has been with him nearly every hour since the
shot was fired. to-day said: Get well? OF
course he will. He is going to get well without
a doubt" Mr.. Crump is Of the opinion that the
President will take a drive in six weeks from

MORE NOURIslIMENT TO-DAY THAN HERETOFORE
Great care is taken that nothing shall be ad-
ministercd that will destroy the tone of the
stomach. To get that organ out of order would
be very dangerous One Of the four attending
physicians is constantly by the Presidents bed
side. He is watched increasingly by a medical
attendant. as we'll as by the nurses
THE THREE MAIN POINTS
now aimed at i'm his treatment are: /. To keen
the system up. and not let it fall in any partic-
ular. 2. To constantly watch the symptoms.
and act promptly. as they make it advisable. g.
To see that the President is kept as COM
Portable and cheerful as possible All danger
from secondary hemorrhage is considered
over There is but little fear of blood
poisoning it is thought by the physicians. The
pus discharged from the wound is of such a
character now as makes it almost impossible
that there should be blood poisoning In short
the whole case and every symptom is so encour-
aging that the physicians do not hesitate to saw
that they are confident of ultimate recovery.
The President will talk now and then, but oniy
says very few words. Nothing like conversa-
tlon is allowed him. His principal talking is in
giving directions to Mr.. Crump about the ar
rangements of his bed and other details of the
sick room.

nese minister, now in Avon, Conn; the Old

of sympathy.

various branches OF the Irish national land
league in the District, and the Knights of ST.
Matthew. at meetings held yesterday, adopted
resolutions expressing their sympathy with the
President and his family.
White House Notes To-day.
There was nothing of special interest at the
White House to-day, except the news from the
sick room. Everything was very quiet, and the
callers were even fewer than during the last few
days. The members of the cabinet came in
during the forenoon, and staid short time.
Col. Rockwell and Gen. Swain were at the
White House nearly all day. The Mexican and
Prussian ministers called in the morning.
THE JAPANESE MINISTER
paid his daily call. He wished to have conveyed
to Mr.. Brown his congratulations on the very
favorable news of the day. He said he would
leave to-day for the seashore with his family
He had intended to leave some days ago, but
waited until he thought the Presidents condi-
ton would justify his departure. He then drove

fine flannel. The space inside is about twelve
feet square. The machine is in one corner 1t

through box containing ice. The air comes
out very cold and very dry. It lowers the tenn

ratus to about sixty degrees. The cold air goes
down, of course, and the change in the temper
ature in going inside the enclosed space is first
noticeable on the feet. Everybody who comes
with cooling apparatus is allowed admission to
the house and to experiment in the business
portion Of the house.
Mr.. Brown was not in his office during the
earlier part of the forenoon, but came in about
IL o'clock. The clerks have about finished up
all the business left on hand before the at

transact such business as is connected with that
event. There is good deal of 1t on hand and
nobody Is idle. number of the cOngratulatOrv
messages received are being answered. ONLY
