an hour. DIR. Barker said: The
alarming symptoms which exhibited
themselves yesterday have entirely
disappeared. I feel very much re-
assored. Conkling passed Compare
lively easy night, although ho
is a little weaker this morning.
He slept most of the time during the
night. When he wakes up he appears
to be much more intelligent than
heretofore. DR.. Sands dressed the
wound. There was a slight discharge
of pus. Conkling's pulse is 90, tenn
perature 100 1-5, respiration natural,

factory. The patient sleeps well and
has taken plenty of nourishment. He
took quart of kumiss since 10

Notwithstanding the favorable bull
letin Of DR.. Barker, Conkling's relar
tives do not appear to feel the same
confidence. Judge Coke came from
the sick-room this afternoon and said:
Mr.. Oonkling is the sickest man I
ever saw. We feel encouraged and
always continue to have some hope,
but Mr.. Conkling is very weak. He
has lost some flesh. His limbs and
body are emaciated, but the face
looks as full as usual. He is now
doing, not asleep.

uating freely from the wound and
ear and everything indicates .
decided improvement since Wednes-
day. There has been some symptoms
Of q secondary stage of meningitis.
During the afternoon the Doctor, in
reply to the question, said this looked
a little bad, but he added it was like
ly that Conkling would be all right To-
morrow and that he will be convales-
cent, which means recovery.
THE LATEST REPORT
All day long the doctors who are in
attendance stated that their patient
was getting better, but others who
saw him we're not so sanguine. Judge
Carroll said that he saw no change in
Mr.. Conkling. He answered evas-
lively the questions of reporters, which
give ii tn suspicious that all is not
as we'll as the doctors reports seem to
show. At midnight there is no change
in his condition and he is sleeping
