| WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE Preaiden
is passing very comfortable night, ant
all his symptoms are favorable. None o
the attending physicians now hesitate Ii
saying the great danger is over, and tha
the President is on the sure and steady
but necessarily slow, road to recovery
He has eaten more to-day than on any
previous day Of his illness.
The nouiishment administered to-day
was strQpger and such as 10 given man
who is recovering his strength and % an
aid to such recovery, He has been very
cheerful. During the early part OF the day
he was aSlaep and got
vgRr NIcR RRsT,
None OF the uniavorable symptoms
which have, as a rule, appeared daily dur.
ing tho afternoon and evening, have
shown themselves to-day. His tempsra.
ture is lower and there is but the slightest
trace ot the fever. Z
Tonight the members OF the Cabinet
and their wives, with glad faces, called at
the White House. Their faces were the
gladder when they left.
None,ot the Cabinet are allowed to see
the President. They sit In the Preaident's
Office aud talk In low tones while smoking
cigars. Every once 10 while ph hysiCiRn
comes out and reports to them. The re.
ports tonight were the most encouraging
Of any given since the shooting, In fact
there Ia Joy over the almost more than
confident assurances Of the Presidents re.
coVery In every face.
A report has gone abroad that 1t WAS
contemplated
TO REMOVE THE PRECEDENT
at an early date from the White House.
In consequence thereof there have been
medical predictions that there would be a
relapse, as 1t Is too early yet to remove
the President. This removal Is not con.
templated now aud will not be for some
time. The doctors say his recovery will
be slow and that there will be no re.

further proof, II proof were needed,
that the fever has passed its crisis and is
slowly subsiding. DR.. Reyburn said at
1880 tonight that the President has been
gaining constantly since yesterday and is
better now than at any time heretofore.
He has persplred very freely during the
day, and that fac. Is another evidence that
the lever is breaking. The process OF sup.
puration In the wound is going on salts.
laCtorily and a longer drainage tube WAS
introduced To night to facilitate the dis.
charge.
THE PRESIDENT MAS TAKEN MORE SOLID FOOD
to-day than in any corresponding number
Of hours heretofore, and has eaten It with
a relish. He has suffered no pain except
when moved or during the dressing Of his
wound and continues bright and cheerful.
Being asked whether any serious.
ly uniavorable Bymptoms are liable
70 appear now that the crisis
Of surgical fever has passed,
DR.. Reyburn said: II should not like to
promise an uninterrupted and unvarying
continuance Of the present improvement,
but Rt the same time may say that I
think there is at present every prospect
Of the Presidents recovery. At II P. n.
the President was sleeping quietly, and
all bis symptoms are very satisiactory."
