EXECUTIVE MANSION, Aug. 6. Up. m.
The President passed comfortable
morning, his symptoms and general con-
dition being quite satisfactory. At 1890
p. m. his pulse was 100, temperature 9S.5,
respiration 10. During the afternoon he
complained somewhat Of the weather,
the extreme heat being such that it was
found impossible to keep the temperature
of his room much below 80 without clos
ing the windows and doors, which was
not thought prudent. The afternoon
rise of temperature began as late as yes
terday, but has been higher, though un-
accompanied by dryness of skin. At Z p.
M his pulse was 1O2, temperature 101.s,
respiration 10. The appearance of the
wound at the evening dressing was how
ever good, and there has been no inter-
ruption to the flow of pus.

day if not better Soon after the evening
examination the fever began to abate.
He went to sleep naturally without ano-
dynes and has rested quietly ever since.
Before 10 O'Clock the febrile rise had en-
tirely subsidized, and at this honr, ll:3o
pm, his pulse is again below 100, and
his temperature is normal. He is sleeping
peacefully, and as the weather has grown
cooler, with refreshing rain, there is
every probability he will have good
night.
The White House Journal of the Day.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.--.The Presidents
condition this morning was in every re-
spect as satisfactory and encouraging as
could be wished. He slept the greater por-
tion of last night. No morphine was ad
ministered to him last night, and there is
No more of that restlessness noted that
showed itself the first night of abstainlng
from morphine He slept naturally and
peacefully. The dressing of the wound
this morning showed that it was
in very healthy condition.
The discharge was healthy, though
as was the case yesterday, not as full as 1T
has been. Before breakfast this morning
he had disa of strawberries placed be-
fore him They were splendid specimen
of the fruit, which had been sent to the
White house from New York. He ate
nine or ten Of the berries. After this fol-
lowed breakfast. The fbill of fare was
more extensive than usual. 1t consisted
of beefsteak, potatoes, tea and toast:
The noon examination showed
little higher pulse than has recently
been usual. The warmth Of the day had
much to do with the rise. His pulse was
100, temperature and respiration normal.
He was pronounced ito nbe doing very
well indeed by his physicians. At l p.
m. Che continued to do well. he said to
the surgeons this morning that he felt
better than at any time since his injury.
This afternoon he slept great deal; at
O'Clock his pulse had gone down little
from the 100 beats at noon and his tenn
perature and respiration continued nor
NAL. He was resting very nicely and
nothing had occurred to break his
steady progress. He was very much bet
ter to- day than week age. Dr. Hamil-
ton said this afternoon he was doing ad
mirably. He is sitting up higher in bed
than he has been allowed to heretofore,
said Dr. Hamilton, and he says himself
he feels much better to-day than at any
time since he was shot. The usual eve
nlng rise of fever came this evening about
the same hour as yesterday, but the fever
was higher than heretofore. The tenn
perature went up to l01.S, the pulse to 1e2
and respiration to 10. There has
been little higher rise of
fever for several evenings, and tonight
this caused some feeling of uneasiness,
but at the White house there was no such
feeling. DR.. Reyburn said that the sur
geons felt no apprehension because of
the fever; that the excessive hot weather
contributed to it. He said that while the
temperature was up some his skin was
not dry or hot and the pulse was not very
high, and that the fever was not alarm
| ing at all. He said the wound was
discharging very well, the pus beng
healthy, and that if there were any other
ungovernable symptoms with the in
crease of fever the doctors would feel un-
easy, but there was an entire absence of
any such symptoms. He was resting we'll
| without morphine-none had been ad-
ministered for several days. DR.. Reyburn
said later in the evening the fever had
receded very materially; that it went
down early, and his skin before 10
O'Clock felt moist and comfortable.
At IL o'clock the White house was
| closed. The President was sleeping and
everything looked promising. Dr. Rey-
