so, but he was better than yesterday
when last saw him. Ofcourse we take
encouragement from that.
Reporter-This midday examination
will be very important, will it not?
Bliss-Yes; for instance, if the temper
ature should fall much below the normal
point the case would look quite badly;
particularly 80 if the pulse should rise.
Reporter-Do you expect this?
Bliss-No, we do not, but of course we
cannot predict with any degree of GER
tainty what will be the result.

DAY OF SUSPENSE.
| New York, August 16.-A special to
the Evening Post, from Washington,
dated 80 q. M, says the president still
lives and hopes are yet cherished that
he will recover. The trouble is entirely
with the stomach. If its powers are not
gone recovery is possible. The presi.
dent passed comfortable night, excep.
that he was troubled by retching. At
three o'clock this morning he slept well
and without the aid of morphia. DIR
Bliss says the physicians have beer
troubled by his stomach since the begin.
ming. and have from the first treated il
with great care. If it can have rest
now, by the administration of nourish
ment by injection, it may possibly be
able to resume its functions before ex
haustion gets too great to be overcome
To-day will probably be day of sus
pense rather than one of incident. Th
president is disposed to sleep and moth
ing will be done unnecessarily to dis
: turb him.
