Comfortable Day, with No Fever
symptoms.
Special Despatch to the World.
WASHINGTON, July 20.-The cooling
apparatus, for which there was no use
yesterday or the day before, was again
put in operation at noon To-day. The
result was that the President was spared
the increase of outer temperature this
afternoon and suffered little fcbrile ex-
element. Even that subsidized as usual
after sundown and at 10 o'clock the
President was sleeping quietly without
fever. He spent an easy day, abstaining
from solids except toast IN the morning.
The treatment was otherwise unchanged.
The Cabinet members have ceased 10
visit the White House, except siHgly
and occasionally, and there are few other
visitors.
This afternoon silver .mrdal came
for the President from New York. On
the reverse side is medallion head of
the President, with the words: "Jam,s
A. Garfield, the nations choice for Pres
ident, 1885," on the other is alaurel
wreath, with "July 2, 1885," over it aud
the words, "For him the civic wreath.
Danger that found him faithful crown
him greau," below the wreath.
Some idiot yesterday sent from here a
telegram TO General Henry Barnum, who
was shot through The body at Malvern
Hill, with Secretary Browns name at.
tached, in these words: "Come imme.
diately. DIS. Brown and Bliss want
diagnosis and personal examination.
Sacrifice everything to come" Secretary
Brown heard of it to-day, and telegraph
ed to Albany repudiatlng 1t. he was
too late, however, and General Barnum
put in an appearance this afternoon at
the White House, when he learned he
had been made the victim of a stupid
joke. He returned to Albany tonight.
Thd report that the Tallapoosa has
been ordered 10 be in readiness by Au-
gust Is to take the President on sea
voyage is not strictly correct. Although
an order to have the vessel in readi-
ness by that date has been issued, the
rest will depend on the Presidents
wishes whenever he may have sufficient
Iy recovered. The Tallapoosa is larger
and otherwise much better vessel for the
purpose than The Despatch. The Presi-
dent, moreover, has expressed his desire
for water trip and could travel that
way at least two weeks before he could
safely venture journey by rail. 1t
would also enable him to get perfect
seclusion 80 long as he might desire it.
Arrangements for jubilee over the
Presidents recovery are under full head
way here, and should date late enough
for the TeturE OF public men be set fol
it it would probably be gigantic affair
