New York, Aug. ia private tel
egram from the president's IS bedside says:
DIR. Bliss declares that the president is
better to-day than he has been since the
shooting.
The Times says: The condition Of
the president continues to excite uneas-
iness, in spite of the declarations .of
the attending physicians that the symp-
toms in his case are entirely satisfacto-
ry. There is this much reason for dis
quiet over the slow recovery Of the
president: The copious discharge from
the wound, however satisfactory from
the surgeons point of view, is never
the less a constant drain on the patient.
and the waste of pus must be speedily
repaired to afford any prospect of re-
covery. But there is no evidence what
ever that either the discharge from the
wound OF the incisions which have been
formed as necessary to facilitate that
discharge, have made any fatal inroads
on the presidents strength.
The Herald's Washington specia al
says: DIR. Aguew says he is not out Of
danger, but. sir, i believe he viii re-
cover. DIR. Hamilton says, II shall
continue to have faith in his recovery
until all the evidences are against any
hope" Bliss says: II have never
doubted for q moment but that he
would get we'll; that confidence in
creases every day." Drs. Rayburn,
Barnes and Woodward concur with DIR.
Bliss. aa
The secretary of the navy to-day said:
81 believe, and SO do all the members
of the cabinet, with implicit trust. that
the president will recover, not to-mor-
row, or next week, but in natures own
time.n
The Herald. however, finds fault with
the management of the presidents case,
and says the very weak condition Of the
patient Is an unfavorable sign. The
attending physicians predicted that
such symptoms might be expected for
two or three days after the operation.
Why not state that the last seven days
have been as bad as the first or the sec
ond weeks, and that three weeks inter
vened before these unfavorable condi-
tions were renewed, and the presidents
Improvement was said to be as marked
and satisfactory as it had been at any
time since he was wounded.
The signing of the extradition papers
in the case Of the alleged Canadian
forRer, Fritch, was the first official act
performed by the president since he re-
ceived his wound. II is understood
that the president will hereafter affix
his signature to all documents requir-
ing immediate attention, 80 that the
head OF the nation may be said to be
practically at his post.
Washington: Aug. II. In the assem-
bly, of surgeons This morning at the
white house thes feeling may be de-
scribed as one Of Rlee. They feel abso-
lutely certain that every gain Of the
president hereafter viii be firmly held.
When the morning dressing was made
to-day it was found that the drainage
had been perfect during the night, all
the pus having come away. This left
the edges and walls Of the wound COL
lapsed, and afforded an opportunity for
healing which did not exist previous
TO. the recent incision. The surgeons
now look for a speedy abatement Of the
afternoon fevers. and expect they will
disappear entirely before this time next
week. It Is safe to say that at no hour
since the president was prostrated has
there been, among those competent to
know, 30 great a confidence in his
speedy commissioners. It is believed
that several official acts will be per-
formed by him during the next few
days. There is in the list one pardon,
which justice demands, and an appoint
ment in the navy department. g ~
