Executive Mansion, Washington.
July 2s. Z a. m.-Dr. Bliss says the
president passed an excellent night,
better than any since he was wounded
He slept soundly most of the night and
awoke this morning looking bright and
feeling hungry. There has been q sat
isfactory discharge of pus during the
night. His temperature this morning
is apparently about normal.
s a. m: The president rested well
during the night, and no rigor or feb
rile disturbance has occurred since the
bulletin of yesterday morning. This
morning the Improvement of his gen.
eral condition is distinctly perceptible.
He appears refreshed by the nights
rest and expresses himself cheerful as
to his condition. Pulse, 90; tempera-
ture, 96.4 respiration, 18.
Colonel Rockwell says the president
is decidedly better this morning than
at any time since wounded that at
the morning dressing there was a free
and healthy discharge of pus from the
wound, and portion of the original
wound above the incision was observed
to have commenced healing. The sur
geons, after consultation on the SUBJ
ject this morning, concluded that the
removal Of the heavy carpet which now
covers the floor of the presidents cham
Der would be beneficial. and consider.
ing the brightness of the morning, with
a perfectly fresh and dry atmosphere,
together with the favorable condition
of the patient it was decided to make
the change at once. The surgeons
maintain that the carpet absorbs impu-
rites Of the atmosphere, which evil
IDENTIFY exists to a more or less extent in
the sick chamber. and it is receptacle
for secreting dust, etc. The presidents
bed was carefully removed from his
room to room Immediately across the
hall, where he is now resting quietly.
1880 p. m.: The president bore dres-
sing his wound this morning with less
fatigue than hitherto. 1t appears well
well and is discharging sufficiently.
Shortly afterwards his bed was rolled
into an adjoining room while that oc-
cupied until now is being thoroughly
cleaned and put in order. His pulse
is now "a; temperature, 98.5; respira-
ton, 18.
l p. M: The president is doing splen-
didly to-day and has no fever and the
surgeons now consider his fever broken
for good. The wound continues to
drain thoroughly, he has good appe-
tite and his food digests. He was re-
moved to another room on the north
side OF the corridor. DIR. Hamilton ar
rived from New York this morning
and he said the president was I'M
proving as fast as possible.
Up. M: The condition of the presi-
dent continues very satisfactory; pulse
below 100. He is entirely free from
fever and resting quietly; he has not
been moved back to his room.
Up. M: The president passed a pleas
ant day and has taken his nourishment
with apparent relish. His temperature
continued normal till 8 O'Clock, when a
moderate afternoon rise occurred which,
however, gave the patient but slight
discomfort and causes no anxiety. At
present his pulse is 104; temperature,
100; respiration, 20.
IL p. M: The following cablegram
was sent tonight: Lowell, minister,
London This afternoon and evening
the president has shown some increase
in pulse and temperature, but not suffi-
cient to create uneasiness on the part
Of his physicians. At II O'Clock he is
resting very quietly.

11:30 p. m.-The slight febrile rise
which first became noticeable about 5
O'Clock this afternoon reached its max
mum at the evening examination when
the Presidents pulse stood at 104, and
temperature 1905. Soon after that
time both pulse and temperature began
to fall, and at the present hour the pa
tient's fever has nearly. disappeared
and he is resting quietly. No reasons
are assigned by the attending surgeons
for the temperance Of febrile symp-
