3 P. N.-DR. BLISS sAYs THERE IS BUT LITTLE
CHANGE.

| noon, DIR. Bliss said that the condition of the
President was substantially unchanged. Hispulse
| at the noon examination was higher than
| at the same hour yesterday, but in a patient so
weak and debitated q transient fuctuation of
pulse to the extent of or beats has no great
| significance.
ANY slight disturbance or excitement is suf-
fcfent, he said, ''tO cause it. l have seen his
| pulse quickened four or five beats merely by
turning him over in bed. His pulse was taken
| this noon when it was highest. Just before /
| came out of his room ten minutes ago it was
| back again to 1O4. That will show you how un-
certain single observation of the pulse is as an
| indication of condition. As far as his tempera-
ture is concerned it is about the same as yester-
| day noon"
| "Do you think he has gained any strength
since yesterday? the reporter asked.
mo, can't see that he has; but think he is
| holding his own. He is taking nourshment very
nicely to-day-quite as well as yesterday. 1t
was the opinion OF his attendants and of Mrs.
Garfield that he seemed little brighter this
| morning"
What isthe condition of the inlamed gland"
" 1t has not changed much in appearance, and
is one of the most troublesome features in the
| case. We got little more pus from it to-day.
but the swelling remains about the same"
- How long before it will probably begin to
subside?'
1T may be four or five days"
In conclusion, DR.. Bliss reiterated his assur-
ance that the condition of the patient is worse
to-day than yesterday, although it cannot be said
that there has been any improvement.
COL. CoRBIN THINKS THE PRESIDENT BETTER.
The President did not know about the consul
tations last night and this morning in regard to
the advisabiity of removing him. Neither was
the decision that he should not be moved made
known to him. He has said very little about
getting away to-day. Col. Corbin said this
afternoon that he did not think there had been
any change in the Presidents condition since
Yesterday hnf If fharo had haap ra in ic
opinion change for the better.

SECRETARY BLAINE's MIDNIGHT DISPATCH

| ious feeling, amounting almost to dread. 1t was
as follows:
| 'The President has not gained to-day. He has
had higher fever, which began earlier than is
| usual with his febrile rise. In the afternoon an
| lncislOn was made in the swollen parOtid gland
ny hdlNIllOu. Lie HOW OI DuS CIoEeIfOm was
| small. The one favorable symptom of his swal-
| lowing liquid food with apparent relish and di-
gestiOn has continued. but the general feeling up
to midnight is one Of increased anxiety"

The following was the $50 p. m. bulletin:
"Shortly after the noon bulletin wasissued an
lncisOn was made on the right side of the Presi-
| dents face for the purpose of relieving the ten
sion of the swollen parOtid gland and of giving

Uated. He has taken larger quantity of liquid
