q WASHINGTON, ID. G., July 2O.-Tho
2 2 Presidents condition tonight Is tlecid-
a edly more favorable than at the same
y hour yesterday. The rise in pulse and
. temperature, which was so marked at
p So'clock last night, both changed for
, the better before midnight, the first
' running to 80 and the second becoming
normal. The fever to-day came later
than usual and was less intense than
upon any previous day. He slept s.
sOundly last night that he was awake,
with the exception of an hour, through
out the day. He manifested no uneasi-.
ness, but was comfortable and cheerful,
and listened for a considerable time to-
Mrs. Garfield reading from the news
papers.
He talked more than on any previous
day, and the effort now gives him but
little trouble. His appetite is good, but
the warning of Yesterday was sufficient
to lead the President to help the doctors
in restraining his tastes. He took a
little animal food at breakfast, but for
the rest OF the day his food was of p
lighter material The suppuration of
the wound continues healthy. The ex-
! vi plS sIiOWttl tudU HOSU
of the lacerared portion along the course
OF the wound has already sloughed off
and passed out, and that the healing
period is close at hand. The surgeons
say that the decline in pulse and tenn
! perature tonight show that the rise
last night was due solely TO local auseS,
and that the patient is as much on the
read TO recovery tonight as if last

as those preceding it. While these
fluctuations are looked fer, the physi-
cians do not apprehend shat anything
will occur to interrupt continuous
progress towards recovery
