tory raised the hopes OF the Respondent
this morning. The night, compared with
the preceding one, was comparatively quiet.
The President awokc frequently, but not
so often as during the night before, the
accumulation OF phegm being less trou-
besome. About A. NJ. the Presi.
dent asked for kDumiss, and a small
quantity was given TO him, which was re-
tsined by the stomach. The morning
dressing showed normal temperature aHd
respiration, and pulse two beats less than
Yesterday morning. The wound was found
TO be doing well, and the in1amed gland IN
about the same condition as last night. DR..
Reyburn said az o A. NJ: 1.-THE swelling
is no worse, and the general condition Of
the President is q little better" Anxiety is
somewhat lessened by developments Of the
morning, but the gravity OF the situation IL
still apparent.

M-(UnOfficial Bulletin. 1.-THE Presidents
condition has not materially changed since
the morning bulletin. There has been no
recurrence OF vomiting, and the patient has
taken small quantity OF milk-porridge
and a little koumiss without nausea. II
has been rumOred that his mind has wan
dered at intervals, but this reported men,
tai disturbance seems 10 have been nothing
more than q slight iucoheIence OF his
speech Immediately after awsking from
sleep before bis senses were fully under
control. II has not occurred at any other
time, and is perhaps due 10 extreme weak
ness. The swelling OF the paroiid gland
remains about stationary. The feeling at
the Executive Mansion this forenoon is one
OF anxiety, but the general impression
seems TO be that there is no greater cause
for alarm now than there has been for two
or three days.

M-UnOficisl BuIletin.)-D Bliss reports
at 1I:40 A. NJ. that the condition OF the pa
tent is slightly better than yesterday.
There has been no nausea or vomiting since
Yesterday afternoon, and the stomach seems
TO be again resuming its functions. The
natient has swallowed and retained without
discomfort since morning about twelve
oupees OF milk pOrridge and koumiss, and
at A.. M. an enema OF beef extract was
apd another enema VIII be
given about noon. There has been no
change in the appearance OF me
parotd gland since Yesterday, although
there has been further sIlght
subsidence OF Inflammation OF the sur
rounding parts. The surgeons hope that
they have this feature Of the case under
control, although they cannot vet speak
with confidence. The gland Ray suppurate
within the next three or four days notwllh-
Standing the measures which have been
taken TO reduce the Inflammation. In that
ease the nus will be liberated by an incl
sion lust as soon as It's existence becomes APP
narent. This will not necessarily Involve
great peril OF the patients life II bis slre0gth
ean he sustained. The danger most to be
now, DR.. Bliss says, IS ex-
banstion. and with this danger they nope
70 deal successfully unless The stomach en-
Irely breaks down. Thus far to-day the
Indications are that that organ is improving

throat has 80 far decreased that II gives lhe
patient no especial annoyance, and be Is
.eIieyed from the necessity OF making sneh
