Some Trouble Monday Night:
BuL Everything Lovely on
Tuesday.
Another SurEicaI Operation.
Washington, D. G., 25.-The Presi-
dent has got through the day admirably,
and every body feels greatly encouraged
about him tonight He has rested well
sll day, and the beuefcial efforts of yes
terday's operation are plainly visible.
To-nighps bulletins showed fear and this
| caused feeling of uneasiness outside
but the surgeons said they had antici-
pRted rise of the fever and that il had
real y not gone as high as they expected:
that it was the same surgical fever which
has all along attended the case and will
continue with it, and was not significant
of any danger whatever. They said the
fever caused no alarm. 1t was not as
high IS we thought it would be, and came
on later thai 1t has on former evenings,
Instead OF the febrile rise being unfsvor-
sble, the symptom tonight on the con-
trsry Is very favorable It was later in
making It's appearance, and it proves
that the lncision made yesterday has
thoroughly opened the wound and is
drsiaing i: well.
Doctor, do you regard the President as
oace more on the road to recovery? Yes,
undoubtedly improving, and the chances
are favorable. We are all very hopeful
now, as We believe the worst has passed.
Has he lost much ground By the
relapse? He has not lost much, if any.
de Is two days nearer recovery than he
was on Friday. He has rested splendidly
TO day, and tonight his fever has gone
Down since the bulletin was issued. He
Is Incomparably better to-day than
yesterday. His features have natural
appearance. The Pinched expression he
had yesterday caused by pain and rest
lessness has gone, and he shows improve
ment in his face The report of his ex-
cesslve weakness is not true. When any
OF the doctors enter bis room after !
temporary Absence he always extends |
bis hand very promptly, and give US q |
eordlsl shake ofthe hand. He maintains |
his hopetulness, and we do not apprehend |
any further special danger.
Doctor, did the obstruction Of the dis
charge Of pus, last long enough for the
Presidents blood to become corrupted?
No, not enough to do any harm. AS
I've told you we kept the pus sac very
well drained, and that kept the Presi-
tents blood from being poisoned to any
sxtent.
.Thsn you do not fear blood-poisoning?
Not in the least.
DR.. Rey burn said at 10 o'clock that
he President was resting we'll; that his
ever had declined since the evening ball
etln was issued, and he felt the Presi-
lent was now beyond immediate danger.
he oil not believe any other obstruction
0 the How OF pus would occur, but If il
ID II would be relieved and IS a conse-
uence need not be feared DR.. Reyburn
sid The president was doing as we'll as
ny person with such wound could be
expected to do. He felt confident of his
ecovery, though il will be necessarily
oW.
DR.. Agnew was to arrive at 10 o'clock
night. but has been detained by Ere

ave requested that Dr.. Hamilton or
gnew shall remain here until the Pres 4
ent is beyond all danger, and when it s
as Learned that Agnew could not get IS
're IN time, Hamilton agreed to stay Z
! he comes. Members of the cabinet &
lned IN request that one or the other Z
the consulting surgeons remain here. e
Dr. Boynton, who stays st the White
ouse, said, tonight, it is the opinion
at the operation of yesterday has re-
wed the President Of the danger he
IS IN, and that he will now get well.
oynton does not think there will bs any
rther obstruction to the flow of pus. {

ief OF the state hospital, on Garfield. -,

'rfeld is suffering from pyamia. In in
gard to pyamis, he said that it is no Ge
common thing for it to follow severe CO.

ed. It IS a very dangerous thing to Ia
We. The per cent. OF recoVeries from
Unmarked acute pyemia, after serious
