 WASHINGTON, July 5.-Dr. Bliss, who is the physician in charge of the President and who has been constantly at his bedside, taking his meals in the ante-room, felt this morning so much encouraged by the decided and unmis- takable improvement in the Presidents con- dition that he left him in charge of an asso- ciate, and went home for the first time about half-past 10 o'clock to get breakfast and a little sleep. This fact was taken as evidence that in his opinion at least the condition of the patient had greatly improved Dr. Bliss is noted for his devotion to his cases so much so that Mrs Bliss says that when her hus- band was in charge of the great Armory Square Hospital during the war he would not come home for two weeks together, and. to see him she would have to hunt him up in the wards. Several times during his stay at the White House he has refused even to leave the sick room to reply to her messages by telephone. Up to this morning he had taken no rest save short maps at the White House. Great encouragement was derived on all hands by this mark of hope and confidence on the part of Dr. Bliss, and the people showed their gladness in their countenanees as they gathered about the bulletins and saw their favorable tenor. Telegrams of con- dolence on account of the affiiction and con- gratalations on the brighter prospects con. tinue to pour in from all parts and the wires connecting with the White Rouse are kept busy all the time. The operators are over run with work, which has increased to such extent that it became necessary to remove the telegraph instruments to a larger room. The regular telegraph office is too small and contracted to be of any service in an emer- gency like the present. From nearly every State in the Union came telegrams of con- dolence and hopes of the recovery of the President
 The following was received to-day:

 WASHINGTON, July Mrs. Garfield is the only person except the doctors and Misses and General Swain who is allowed to enter the Presidents room at will. The other la dies, wives of Cabinet officers and intimate friends, are permitted occasional visits to the room. one or two at 8 time. Whenever Mrs. Garfield goes into the room he welcomes her with smile and she invariably speaks to him encouragingly. The children bear up with the same sort of heroism displayed by their parents The surgeons do not remain continually in the Presidents room. They can, they say, judge better of the case by re- maining away from the President except when they make an examination, and they compare his condition with what 1t was at the time of their last visit to him. They could not see the changes so well were they to remain by his side all the time. A good portion of the time one of the ladies is al- lowed to remain in the room to fan the Presi- dent Mrs. Blaine frequently relieves Mrs. McVeaoh at the bedside, and she is relieved in turn by one of the other ladies. The President is inclined to talk to visitors more than the doctors believe for the best, but he always talks in a cheery way For instance, yesterday at a. m., in response to an in auiry as to how he feels, he said: My good friends, be of good cheer. I mean to pull through and 1 w1l."s Commlss1oner Dudley, who is an intimate friend, was ad- mitted last night to the Presidents room. hA01 o6 f0 ff the bedside Dudley. I am glad to see you. D was the remark of the sick man. 'I know you have come here to see Garfield and not the President" Still addressing Dudley, he said, ''I am very anxious to live indeed, and if necessary could let them cut oil my limb inch by inch Still II nave to dle, | 'am ready to go Keep your courage up." The President frequently chats and Jokes with those about his bedside. Colonel Rockwell and Judge Swain are the two most constant attendants, although Private Secretary Brown goes in every few minutes when the rush Of business with which he is surrounded will permit The President is devoted to MT. Brown and likes to have him near his bedside all the time In this connection word should be said about the great satisfaction given by Secretary Brown in his management of the press ar engagements. The facilities for gathering ln- formation have been as complete as the rep resentatives of the press could desire. Every body is willing to answer questions. The amount of annoyance that the eager search CTS for news cause has been borne without impatience. There is great anxiety on all sides to secure admission to the White House This has brought to the front more people connected with newspapers than ever known before in Washington. Many i'm nostors have secured admission account of an imaginary connection with the press. People never heard of before have turned up as newspaper men, and it is conceded that no great matter of public interest was ever so fully and satisfactorily reported as has been the attempted assassination and it's accompa- nying circumstances.
