Il itself is passed. There is no apprehensio of it now. Blood poisoning is in it's natur of such character that there is a possibi ity of it's appearing. It has not appeare and it is not expected. don't think it wi ] appear" The doctor concluded by sayin that the President was well on the road t recovery.
 NO PRESSING BUSINESS TO INTERFERE.
 The only particular business calling for ex ecutive attention just is the filling of tn | vacancy caused by the removal of Theophllu French, auditor of railroad accounts. Sec retaries Windom and Kirkwood had a con 1 ference on the subject to-day. MT. Kirkwooe for the position, but as the President con trols the appointment nothing can be done until the latter recovers.

He will remain I in New York until the President is declared ! past all danger and will be in constant com- munication with the White House so he can | be immediately summoned in case of unfa- l yorable developments.
 THE BEST DAY SINCE THE SHOOTING. ! The progress of the President this evening has been calculated to increase the general hope. The evening bulletin makes 8 better showing for the days progress than that of any since the shooting Dr. Bliss told the l members of the Cabinet, all of whom called in the evening as usual, that he considered the crisis in the fever passed and he now more then ever expected continued progress toward recovery. The officers of the Cabi- net and all the attendants are more confident than ever. As evidence of this Executive Secretary Pruden, who has been indefatiga- ble in his vigilance, has decided to leave to- morrow to join his family who are on East. In regard to the reported extreme weakness of the President Dr. Bliss further said to- night that some people seemed to have an idea that he was perfectly helpless. Said the doctor: "He can draw up his legs and place either feet over the other at will He eaa even raise his head slightly lie IS very stiff and sore from lying so long in one position. He likes to be sponged off His skin is now cool and clear. Tonight we changed his general position and he seemed very much relieved. The atmosphere in the room is excellent It is dry, cool and pure It IS almost impossible to detect anything like sick room odor in it. The President is more comfortable now by his own words and to our knowledge than at any time since the shooting. The symptoms are extremely fa- vorable and this day has been one of the best possible progress. From present indications he will pass good night and it is fair to as sume that tomorrow mornings bulletin will be even more favorable than this morning's" With these assuring words the doctor excused himself, the callers departed and the house was closed.
