FOURTH DIsPATCHl
WASHINGTON, July 11th-9:20 p. M.-The
Presidents temperature, which rose this
afternoon, has steadily fallen, until now it
stands at about last nights figures. No
especial Importance is attached by the at
tending surgeons to these daily fluctuations
in temperature and pulse at this stage of the
Presidents case. They are to be expected.
The several conditions of the patient at this
hour are favorable and satisfactory.
The Presidents Belief in His Recovery.
WASHINGTON, July 11th.-This morning
the President said, Bliss, l feel better this
morning. l think l am going to get WE'LL
81 think so, too, replied Bliss. The Presi
dent is very weak. He can move his legs
little, but that is about the only physical ex-
ertion, except talking, that he is capable of.
He suffers considerable pain in his legs, but
does not complain much OF it.
The Bulletins OF the Physicians.
WASHINGTON, July 11th.-A gentleman
from New York. who arrived in this city this
morning, says there is an impression among
persons in that city that the bulletins issued
regarding the Presidents condition are more
or less colored for the purpose of allaying
public apprehension. He also says that many
persons incline to the opinion that the orig.
inal kilograms sent from time to time to Drs
Agnew and Hamilton, the consulting physi-
are not given out for publication, and that
the kilograms purporting to be copies
of those sent to the consulting physicians are
prepared for the purpose of preventing any
undue excitement, and consequently do not
give the condition of the President as it
really appears. These theories, if they do
exist are entire erroneous, inasmuch as the
official bulletins issued are written by the
physicians in charge, and contain the Presi.
dents true condition at the time of their
issuance. The ssme plan is adopted with re-
gard to the information which is dispatched
to the consulting physicians. In both in
stances the contents are invariably tele-
graphed to the press from the original copies.
1t is not the intention of the attending ply
sicians to express any opinions in the bulletins
issued, but merely to convey to the public the
patients true condition from time to time.

ring to Washington dispatch p-inte in the
Ereaiag Post Saturday, in which the Presi.
dents symptoms were spoken of as more
serious than the public supposed, Dr.. Hamil-
ton said the account was exaggerated. Gar
field was not awell man by any means, but
the present symptoms were not alarming to a
surgeon. More precautions were taken to
prevent excitement in the case of the Presi-
dent than in an ordinary case, and these
precautions are what may alarm laymen, but
the President is getting along well, and
nature may be expected to do all that re-
mains to be done. There will be no necessity
for probing unless the healing of the wound
is not healthful, and indicates an inte rnal
abscess or concealed supperation.

fure of The Sick Room.
