provement to-day, and I don't think
you could observe much change il
appearance. The quantity of pu!
discharged from it this morning wa.
not as large as expected, although
the puS itself was healthy in charac
ter. The wound is healing. The
stomach is performing its functions
fairly well. The patient takes al
the food now he ought to have. and
1t seems to be pretty we'll digested
he had a good movement of the
bowels this afternoon, and ali the
indications afforded by it were
favorable.
DIR. Bliss says civil engineer who
has given the SUBJECT muck thought
suggests that we get one of the
best railway coaches which can
be obtained, remove the seats from
1t and suspend bed in the centre
by four ropes, fastened on the top
to strong spiral springs, which
should be firmly bOlted to the roof.
The springs,if properly proportional
ia strength to the weig int of the pa
tient and bed, will soften all Earring
so as to make it almost impercept-
ible. He suggests further, that the
car be ballasted with bars of rail-
way iron, so it will run more
smoothly and with less jumping,
and be put in front of the train, with
the surgeons car next, a palace car
third, and the engine last. BY this
arrangement the Presidents car
would escape all the dust and smoke
and most of the noise. We should
not, Of course, run very fast, say ff-
teen miles an hour, and if our des-
tinatiOn were Long Branch it
might be necessary to stop some
where on the road every night.
This, however, could easily be man
aged. We could take care of the
patient in a properly fitted car as
well as anywhere else. If the Presi-
dent continues to do as well as he
has the past two or three days, the
time will not be very long before he
can be moved.

OAINOUg.
New York, 2.-Iribune'S Wash
ington: This has been a disap-
pointing day. 1t cannot be learned
that the President is any worse than
the day before yesterday, but his
pulse and temperature do not main
tain the low figures of yesterday,
which it was hoped would prove the
beginning of permanent gain. The
doctors make light of everything in
the bulletins which give rise to
alarm outside. The President has,
without doubt, made a little pro-
gress n regard to the amelioratlOn
of the gland1lar swelling and i'm
provement OF his wound He has,
at his worst, made less progress than
was expected.
THE WOUND CLOSING.
A tube was inserted at the noon
dressing, yesterday, showing that
the track of the ball is closing up
from the bottom and is only now
a little over nine inches deep. The
size of the wound is also contracting
all along it's course, and is very SEN
sitive to the touch. The opening
into the muth is just above the
angle Of TIE jaw, and gives no
trouble. The fact that pus bur
roWed through has no bearing on
the case, and will not delay recOv-
cry in any respects. What would
now do the President more good
than anything else. is a thunder
storm. The ;ir is remarkably lack |
ing in vital properties, and the
President feds it sOrely. We are
wishing shower.
Executive Mansion, $50 pm
The PresidepI has passed a COM
Portable day and this evening ap-
pears better than for some days
past. He ha taken larger proper
ton of nutrinent by the mouth and
manifested 1eater relish for it. His
