over the Presidents condition |
han he did last night, rs he thought there |
was now more ground for hope than then |
DR.. Boynton admitted that the Presidents |

had more than once showed the effects of
his exhausted condition. The President |
Wandered I'm His Mind
more or less ever since the shooting, but it |
was only for time, just after awakening |
from sleep for instance, and his senses
always came back to him in due season. |
Dr. Boynton also admitted that small guam
titles of laudanum had been mixed with the
Presidents encmater, but no trouble could
possibly arise from that cause, us the doses |
were so small DIR. Boynton was of the
opinion that
The Innamed Gland
will do its worst or have disappeared en-
tirely within two or three days. He docs
not feel concerned over the result, and
thinks the swelling will 30 away without
any bad effects Neither does he anticipate
any further trouble from the Presidents
stomach. Altogether, DIR. Boynton spoke
in Il more reassuring strain than he has
done for some days past.
No Indications of Nausea.
Up to this hour, 1.3O p. M, the President
has retained IL ounces of liquid food and 2
of euemata to-day The phlegm is less
troublesome, and there has been no indica-
tion of nausea.
stiII I'm IL PrecariOus Condition.
Affairs were very quiet at the White
House to-day. The anxiety of yesterday
has been displaced by general air of hope
fulncss. There was a more cheerful look
on every face. All, however, seem to rec
ognize that the President is still in pre-
carious condition. That his stomach has
not again proved inteleant of food il
viewed as favorable feature. DIR. Bliss
also made a statement about noon, that the
circulation and temperature of the Presi-
dents blood was much better than yester-
day. There were not many callers to-day
Among the early visitors outside of the
Cabinet officers. were Gen. Tyner, Public
Printer Defrccs, the Mexican Minister and
Gen. II. Mattson, United States Consul
General at Calcutta.
Agnew nmd Hamilton.
DIR. Agnew will leave for Philadelphia to-
morrow, and DR.. Hamilton will arrive here
from New York tomorrow evening.
Exhaustion the Only Danger Now.
DIR. Bliss was in and out of Private Score
tary Browns office all the morning, and
talked freely of the Presidents case He
said at noon that they feel rs though they
had gotten the swelling in the face we'll in
hand, and they to not expect any danger
from it. His opinion was that it would
suppuratc. Four or five days will show
exactly what to expect from the swollen
gland. The physicians could not, of course,
tell what will happen, but as already stated
DIR. Bliss does not anticipate any trouble.
He holds that the only danger now is that
the President may die from exhaustion if
the stomach cannot take food enough to
countenct the natural drain upon his
system and the drzin from the suppuration
of the wound. DIR. Bliss says tine Presi-
dents stomach now looks as if it will be
able to meet all demands upon it. He thinks
it is all right again, and that they will be
able to bring tho President through even
tIally.
DIR. Hamilton Interviewed I'm New
York.
NEW YORK, Aug. 22-When DIR. Hamil-
ton returned from Washington it was with
the understanding that he would relieve
DIR. Agnew on Tues day night unless fresh
developments should make his presence
necessary sooner. DIR. Hamilton was how
ever, met at his residence this morning by
National Associated Press reporter, and said
" don't expect to return to the Capital
until tomorrow afternoon, when have ar
ranged to go by the $3.50 o'clock limited ex-
press.
You have no dispatch recalling you ?"
asked the reporter.
None, and hardly expect any"
"You would be recalled in an emergency
if there were any?" uu
Undoubtedly should, but hope none
will arise. The symptoms, according to
the morning dispatches, are unfavorablc,
but while they are serious they are not of
u. N sl,. ,ista IN t.aIi tn i'm,
mediate danger, should think
"Would you mind saying what your
opinion is of the cause of Yesterdays vOnl-
iting?"
~ cannot express an opinion"
~ did not know but that the symptoms
were of SO definite a sort that they might
warrant definite opinion"
ooh, you can see for yourself that the
vomiting is caused by the flow of mucous
into the throat"
Not from any gastric trouble or blood
was asked.
"Not at all only from flow of mucus
from the salivary glands into the throat"
The President Terribly Emaciatcd.
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald telegraphed as follows
last night: 1T was very hot during the af-
ternoon and astOrm threatened to come out
of bank of clouds in the northwest. The
President had dozed alittle at intervals, but
seemed to feel the heat as he had in the
and asked that the windows be
opened higher. When this was done he was
able to see the sky where the clouds
were gathering, and at his own
request he was turned SO that he could
gaze at them, the pillows being bolstered
up so rs to allow him to do so. He lay in
that position n long time the attendants
