vais than during several nights past. he
continues to take liquid food by the mouth
with more relishand in such quantity that
enema will be. suspended for the present.
No change has yet been observed in the
parotid swelling. The other symptoms
are quite as favorable as yesterday. Pulse
100, temperature SO, respiration II.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, Aug. 24-12:30 P.
M.-Oficial Bulletin: The President con-
tinues to take liquid food by mouth, as
reported in last bulletin. His temperature
has risen slightly since that time. In
other respects his condition is about the
same. Pulse 104, temperature 1912, respi-
ration IT.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, las P. M.-Since |
the noon examination the surgeons have
lanced the Presidents inf1amed parotid I
gland and liberated a small quantity of
pus. The President did not take any
anesthetic, and did not seem much weak
ened by the operation. The pulse imme-
diately went up to lis, but at once re-
and is now 104. DR.. Reyburn saws
the results are entirely satisfactory. and
the information is confirmed by DR.. Ham |
ilton. The attendants of the President re-
port that he had a very quiet and comfort
able night, sleeping longer than heretofore
and showing less restlessness. Before the
morning examination he expressed a desire
food, and DR.. Bliss warmed slightly
and gave him about four ounces OF
beef extract, which he swallowed with
apparent satisfaction. In a brief inter-
view with a reporter after the morning
bulletin appeared DR.. Bliss said the Presi-
dent had passed a very good night and
was doing well. The glandular swelling
has not perceptibly changed in appearance
since yesterday, but be thought it seemed
a very little softer to the touch. The
wound continued to present a healthy and
in every way a satisfactory appearance.
Generally speaking, the patients condi-
ton this forenoon was about the same as
last evening. The slight improvement
which was then noted is fully maintained,
and there has been a little additional gain
in the capacity for taking nourishment.
DR.. Bliss is quoted on the street as having
told a friend last night that everything
that could be done BY human beings had
been resorted to by the attending surgeons
to scatter the swelling of the President s
parotid gland, but it did not appear to
yield and suppuration seemed inevitable.
The doctor thought, however, it is said.
that the discharge would be comparatively
light.
Blaine to Notwithstanding to the
opinion of his physicians, there is a marked
change in the Presidents condition since
the last dispatch. At this hour, half-past
l O'Clock P. NJ, there is some indication Of
an increase of fever, which they say is in
part caused by the increased heat of the
day. He continues to take liquid food
and does not seem troubled by nausea or
indigestion.
When the surgeons assembled this morn
ing the President again required to the
topic so prominent on his mind Yesterday
and the day before-his removal to Mem
tor. He insisted upon some time being
fixed. As the surgeons have already told
him his wound is now causing them little
anxiety, he could see no reason why such
a trip should injure him Upon being
told that so long a railroad journey would
be i~mprudent, he said he had determined
not to remain in the White House any
longer, if he could help it, and asked il
he could go to Fortress Monroe on q
The surgeons could only promise
him that he would be removed at the
earliest possible moment when it could be
done.
The Signal Service Frauds.
WA%sHINeToN. Aug. 24.-At the instance
Of Gen. Hazen a further charge is made
Capt. Howgate Of an additional
embezzlement of $500, 600. The evidence
upon which the charge is made comes
New York. The detectives found
vouchers for the payment of supplies in
sums furnished by parties in New
York. These parties disclaim all knowl-
of the transactions, making an aft
davit that the supplies in question were
never furnished by them, and that no such
moneys had been received from the dis
Office of the Signal Service. In
one instance a forged voucher for SO. 600
was discovered. The amount specified in
this further charge covers what has been
up to date. 1t is charged that
! double set OF vouchers were obtained by
Howgate on the plea that the funds of the
various years had been kept separate.
