Secretary Blaine sent the following by

LoaOeU, Minister, London:
The Presidents condition, this morn
ing, is much better than at any time since
he was wounded. Temperature normal,
pulse 96. The pain in his feet has greatly
diminished, The weather is very warm,
but the Presidents room is kept cool as
desired.

dents condition more favorable than at
the same time yesterday. His pulse is
now 102. The temperature has not been

slightly aboYe normal. The general
symptoms are favorable and he is resting
quietly.
4.15 p.m.-Attending surgeons report
the Presidents fever at this houf is much
lower than at the same time yesterday
afternoon; that his general symptoms are
favorable and satisfactory.
james, Lincoln and Window who
called at the White House fairly besmed
with pleasure ever the figures Of the Off
cisl bulletin. Blaine told Arthur that
the cabinet did not require his presence
and this tends to increase confidence.
Arthur says he wont return until Deem
|. Der. The illness of Senator Jones may
cause him to remain . day or TWO.
DR.. Boynton, this morning, said con-
icence had greatly increased in the last
twenty-four hours. The fever last
night didn't quite reach the
point Of Monday night, and this morning
his condition is much better than yester-
day, and he locks now for steady improve
ment. Pus flows free through the tube,
and this may have some effect.
The President is better tbsn since he
was shot. Bliss sees marked improve
ment. The condition is nearly normal.
This is the twelfth day, and the day on
which the turn in such wounds usually
occurs. Surgeons ssy the indicstions are
Of change TOR the better. The O'Clock
bulletin shows the hot weather does not
arrest the continued improvement. The
fever is lower than lately, in the middle
of the day. The pulse is below 100. tenn
persture scarcely 100. and surgeons think
the increase this evening will be very
slight.
