- The President.
AGAIN ON THE MEND.
Washington, July 25.-The feeling of
anxiety at the white house and through
out the city which prevailed yesterday
has disappeared this morning. There is
no better barometer to indicate the pres
ident's condition than the ways of those
about the whitehouse, and the general
air that place wears. By their eyes can
be told ut once whether things are favor
able or unfavorable, without asking q
question. This morning everyone had q
bright and cheerful reply from the sick
room as the opinions of the doctors. No
one was gloomy; nobody wore the anx-
ious look of yesterday. The happy
change had its effect, in that there was
very little inquiry as to the presidents
condition, and once more the doctors
came from the sick room without being
seized on by thirty or more people who
have been waiting for just such an op.
portunity to hear from the sick bed. Drs.
Reyburn and Bliss were with the presi.
dent all last night. They took little maps
as the president slept soundly.
FROM p. NJ. GENERAL. JAMES,
New York, July 25.-The following has
just been received:
Washington. July 25, 8 a. m.-To H.
u. Pearson, postmaster New York.-The

EXTREMELY FAVORABLE.
Executive Mansion, July 25, p. M
Tie presidents condition at this hour is
regarded as extremely favorable and en-
couraging. His pulse is 1O4 and temper
ature and respiration normal. The dis.
charge of pus is as copious as could be
expected and its character perfectly
healthy. There is no indication of fever
at present, but it is probable the usual
slight febrile rest will occur this evening
as it did last week before the formation
OF the pus cavity.
THE CONSULTING PHYSICIANS.
Washington, July 25.-Dr. Agnew will
return. Either DR.. Agnew or DIR. Ham.
ilton will be with the president from
now till the indications are such as to
show there is no necessity for their pres.
ence. At noon the presidents condition
was still favorable and he was very com.
Portable.
| BRIGHT AGAIN.
DIR. Bliss said this morning, as he came
out of the sick room, that everything be
gan to look blight again. When asked
about the appearance of the wound wher
dressed this morning he said that there
had been a good discharge, what he call
ed an unusual discharge, OF pus; the
flow had not been rs great as before the
pus cavity was formed. The matter col
lected for "a hours was then drawn off
the only discharge in the meantime be
ing small continuous flow. The dis
charge this morning, DIR. Bliss said
though not large was satisfactory ant
healthy.

The president passed very goo,
night, getting a good deal Of sleep afte
IL o'clock, and resting comfortably. Be
fore that hour there was little fever
but it was not marked as compared witt
that of the night before. 1t was as
night of quiet rest is to night of pail
and tossing. When the cotton was re
moved from the mouth OF the wount
this morning it was found to be satura
ted with pus showing the continuous dis
charge that was so satisfactory befor
the formation of the pus cavity.
The president is now taking lime wa
ter and milk, with beef juice over toast
at regular intervals. No material chang
has occurred in his pulse Or temperatur
since the last official bulletin. The Sui
geons say there has been gradual an,
very satisfactory discharge of pus eve
since the incision was made. DR.. Bills
said at u o'clock that everything show
, ing danger from the stoppage of the flo
OF pus had passed, and the president wa
doing about US we'll rs before the relaps
occurred.
